Get the weekly pass if you're parking more than two days.

The weekly parking pass at Niagara Falls State Park costs about $25, while daily parking at Goat Island is $10 per day. So if you’re there three or more days, you save $5+. Four days would be $40 daily vs $25 pass — clear winner.

Exact numbers can shift by a buck or two depending on the year, and the weekly pass covers all state park lots in the area, not just Goat Island. That’s a nice bonus if you want to move your car to the American side or the Welcome Center lot.

One catch: the weekly pass is only sold at the parking booths, not online. So grab it on day one when you pay for your first daily spot and ask to upgrade. Otherwise you’re stuck paying per visit.
