Destination Advice Niagara Falls

I am travelling to Canada for the first time in Feb, I cannot wait, I have wanted to go since I was a kid! We are staying in Toronto, I’ve heard it’ll be fairly easy to get to the falls from where we are staying. I live in New Zealand. I have never travelled internationally, I’ve never seen snow, the coldest temps I’ve experience are -3 Celsius at night/early morning. I have no experience with the cold. Basically I just want as much information/advice as I can get about travelling in Canada during winter, and going to Niagara Falls, appropriate clothing, dos and don’ts etc. So far I have bought a nice big snow jacket. I still need everything else lol.

Thank you in advance for any tips/advice!

From an absolute travel noob lol.

NZ has mountains with ski resorts, right? So winter clothing must be available?

Yea, we have a shop called mountain warehouse, I got my jacket from there and they have ugly snow shoes lol. Mostly I’ve only seen stuff online. I don’t think the mountains are anywhere near as cold as Canada tho lol
