Buffalo Airport to Niagara Falls, New York (US side)
Niagara Falls, New York is the American side of the falls, home to Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the country, with direct access to the brink of the American Falls and the Maid of the Mist. From Buffalo Airport it is about 20 miles and 30 to 40 minutes for a flat $95, with no border crossing required, which makes it the simpler falls trip if you are staying on the US side.
This is the route for travelers booked into hotels on Rainbow Boulevard, near the state park, or by the Seneca Niagara casino. If your hotel is actually across the river in Ontario, you want our Niagara Falls, Canada page instead, since that trip includes the border crossing.
The US side and the state park
Niagara Falls State Park anchors the American side, with the falls viewing areas, Goat Island, and the Cave of the Winds all within it. The nearby hotels, the Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino, and the Rainbow Bridge to Canada are all a short ride from the park. We drop you at your hotel or the park entrance, no passport needed for the US side.
The oldest state park, by design
The park was established in 1885 specifically to stop private developers from fencing off views of the falls and charging admission, and its original landscape was laid out by Frederick Law Olmsted, the same designer behind New York City’s Central Park, working with architect Calvert Vaux. That history is part of why the American side still feels like a public park rather than a commercial strip, with Goat Island and the Three Sisters Islands kept largely as Olmsted intended.
