What to Expect
Pass by: Dufferin Islands Park
Dufferin Islands is a serene, secluded nature area just south of Niagara Falls, Ontario. This 10-acre group of small, tree-covered islands is connected by footbridges and surrounded by peaceful walking trails and scenic waterways. A popular spot for birdwatching and picnicking, it offers a quiet escape from the crowds. In winter, it transforms into a magical display during the Winter Festival of Lights. Located off the Niagara Parkway, Dufferin Islands is a hidden gem perfect for nature lovers.
Stop at: Journey Behind the Falls
Journey Behind the Falls is a year-round attraction in Niagara Falls, Ontario, offering a unique perspective of the Horseshoe Falls. Visitors descend 125 feet via an elevator to explore tunnels behind the waterfall, leading to observation portals where they can witness the powerful rush of water from behind. The experience also includes an outdoor viewing platform at the base of the falls, providing an up-close encounter with the roaring cascade. During peak flow, over 2,800 cubic meters of water thunder down per second. Ponchos are provided, as visitors may get wet from the mist.
Pass by: Nikola Tesla Statue
The Nikola Tesla Statue in Niagara Falls, Ontario, honors the legendary inventor whose work in alternating current (AC) power helped harness the energy of Niagara Falls. Located at Queen Victoria Park near Table Rock, the bronze statue depicts Tesla standing atop an AC motor, symbolizing his groundbreaking contributions to electricity. Unveiled in 2006, it overlooks the falls, a fitting tribute to the man whose vision revolutionized hydroelectric power and changed the world.
Stop at: Skylon Tower
The Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a 775-foot (236-meter) observation tower offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and the city skyline. Visitors can reach the top in just 52 seconds via glass-enclosed "Yellow Bug" elevators. The tower features indoor and outdoor observation decks, a revolving dining room that completes a full rotation every hour, and a casual buffet restaurant. Open year-round, it provides stunning views day and night, including fireworks and illuminated falls. The Skylon Tower is a must-visit landmark for a unique aerial perspective of Niagara Falls.
Stop at: Niagara Whirlpool
The Niagara Whirlpool is a stunning natural phenomenon in the Niagara River, formed over 4,000 years ago by powerful currents carving through the Niagara Gorge. Located about 4.5 km (2.8 miles) downstream from Niagara Falls, this swirling vortex is created where the river abruptly changes direction, causing turbulent rapids and deep, rotating waters. Its intensity varies with water flow, offering mesmerizing views. Visitors can witness this spectacle from the Niagara Parkway, the Whirlpool Aero Car, or scenic hiking trails.
Pass by: Sir Adam Beck Generating Station
The Sir Adam Beck Generating Station in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a massive hydroelectric power facility harnessing the force of the Niagara River. Opened in 1922 and expanded in 1954, it diverts water from the Welland River and Niagara River to generate clean energy. The station, named after Ontario’s hydroelectric pioneer Sir Adam Beck, supplies power to millions. Visitors can view the impressive facility from lookout points along the Niagara Parkway, showcasing the region’s engineering marvels.
Stop at: Floral Clock
The Floral Clock in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a stunning, fully functional timepiece made of over 16,000 plants arranged in intricate designs. Measuring 40 feet (12.2 meters) in diameter, it is one of the world’s largest floral clocks. Built in 1950 near the Niagara Parks Power Station, its vibrant patterns change seasonally with colorful flowers and greenery. The clock chimes every quarter-hour, adding to its charm. A popular stop along the Niagara Parkway, it offers a beautiful and unique photo opportunity for visitors.
Stop at: Niagara City Cruises
Niagara City Cruises offers the iconic boat tour experience in Niagara Falls, Ontario, bringing visitors up close to the powerful Horseshoe Falls. Departing from the Niagara Gorge, the Voyage to the Falls tour takes passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls before reaching the thundering cascade of the Horseshoe Falls. The ride features breathtaking views, mist-filled air, and ponchos to keep guests dry. The cruise operates from spring to late fall, with evening tours offering stunning views of illuminated falls and fireworks. It’s the only boat tour on the Canadian side, providing an unforgettable, up-close encounter with Niagara Falls. Please note this attraction is seasonal (May 8th - Dec 1st 2025) and will be replaced by another attraction during the winter months.
