Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is the second time I visited the Tiffany Falls, and both times were a bit disappointed with the volume of water, although the most recent time was better than the first. I was hoping that the snow melt would boost the water volume. Despite that, it is still a nice waterfall to visit. The hike to it was not too long and quite easy. At the end, there was a platform where you can take all the photos that you wish. It has a small parking at the start of the trail that cost money to park. The coin slot was broken when I was there recently, and was forced to use my credit card.

When you arrive, there is limited parking and the signs are confusing. Nothing is intuitive. On the other hand it said one needs to pay 11 Dollars, on the other hand, parking is just for an hour. From what we understand now, the 11 Dollars are for visiting the whole conservations area. The walk is super short and the falls are not that impressive in the summer.

Visited the place on our way to Brantford. Somewhat disappointed with the lack of water at the falls. It's easy to blame Mother Nature for the lack of rainfall but I should have checked before we left. There are hikes close by to the intersecting Bruce Trail and the Tiffany Falls Side Trail which is easily accessible from the $8 parking lot. Scenery was nothing special but it was good to be out in nature. It is beter to visit in the winter, I was told. Next time.

If you’re coming to see only the falls, they are supposedly a short walk from the parking lot. Perhaps a 15 minute round trip. They want $11 for parking. The parking lot is very tight, difficult to back in and out of, and no parking along the nearby roads. We were really put off by Canada’s nickel and dime high tax rate and decided to leave without having seen the falls. Not willing to spend that much for a quick hike. Very disappointed.

Tiffany Falls is my favorite.
Parking is a nightmare. $5 like everywhere else but the lot is very small. The bylaw officer was handing out tickets to everyone not parked in an actual spot. We had to wait 10ish minutes for one to open up.
The path leading to the falls is 5-10mins and fairly easy. Ricks and bridges but very pretty. It's hard to social distance so we kept stopping for others coming out. The trail takes you to the bottom of the waterfall.

The view is best after a rain, which supplies water. Hamilton mountain sets on Niagara Escarpment. Behind it is a vast expanse of farm land. The collected rain water flows to the rim of escarpment and make up the many falls.

Logistics note: If you need an address to plug into your GPS, drop your pin on Wilson St E on the south side, where it says "Tiffany Falls Side Trail" on the map. Or 938 Wilson St E, though there's no actual building here. You should use Google Streetview to get a sense of what the parking lot looks like, as it's a rather small lot, and Wilson is a fast-moving street, so it's easy to miss, and then you'd have to loop all the way around again. I'd recommend approaching from the WEST on Wilson Street so you can make a right turn straight into the lot from your side of the road, as opposed to trying to make a left turn cutting across the opposite lane of traffic if you approach from the east, since the road moves fast and only has one lane in each direction.
We came on Dec 28th 2017 on a -14 Celsius day. Drove the 1+hour all the way from Toronto and it was 100% worth it. Gorgeous, quiet, harshly beautiful in the middle of winter after a heavy snowfall. The signs say to stay on the viewing platform but we saw folks carefully walking along the edge of the creek to get to the frozen waterfall. Wear good boots, take your time, and be smart about where you step. Snow will disguise slippery leaves and rocks on the banks so be careful.
It's only about a 5 min walk from the parking lot, barely a hike at all, so if you can bundle this in with some visits to some of the other waterfalls in the area, definitely do so.
We came on a very cold day just before sunset and there were still about 5 other cars in the lot, so I imagine it gets busy in the summer.
100% worth it, very pretty.

You can follow the Bruce trail to get between Tiffany falls and Sherman falls. If you park at Sherman there is free street parking. It's approx 2k hike between the two falls. Beautiful hike.

The hike into the falls is not very long which is good if you are travelling with kids. We made it while the trees were still in bloom and made for great scenery.
You do have to pay for parking and there is not a lot of spots so if your there on the weekend...good luck!!!

Started at Tiffany and took the Bruce Side Trail down to Sherman and over to canterbury. Park at Tiffany. Please do not climb the waterfalls and respect the boundaries as some of these waterfalls are on private property. Tiffany to Sherman cross the road to access trail.

Can a manual wheelchair be pushed on the path to the waterfall? At the end it looks rocky but my son can walk but not the full distance, so he would get out at waterfall

You certainly can go half way and there is a small
Platform for observing. Just choose a day when it is not raining.

Tiffany Falls trail is a short walk from the Wilson Rd. to the falls, so no, it's not really accessible/cycleable, but there is a very nice and long Hamilton-Brantford rail trail (about 70K in length), which is perfect for cycling and also wheelchair accessible. There are many entry points, but the 0K mark starts at Main and Osler in Hamilton/Dundas, entrance off Ofield St. with a free parking. There other places along the trail where it intersects with the main roads with free parking areas.

Are there any wheelchair accessible trails at Tiffany Falls? If so, how long are they and where do they start and end? Are there any wheelchair accessible washrooms along the trails?
Written 17 June 2015
No they aren't. And no washrooms. The trail is short, maybe 10 minutes.
