  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Niagara Whirlpool

    The Niagara Whirlpool is a natural wonder located along the Niagara River, about 4.5 km (2.8 miles) downstream from Niagara Falls. Formed over 4,200 years ago, this powerful, swirling vortex is created by the river’s strong currents as it abruptly changes direction through the narrow Niagara Gorge. The whirlpool’s appearance varies with water levels and flow, creating stunning, ever-changing patterns. It can be viewed from several vantage points, including the Niagara Parkway, the Whirlpool Aero Car, and hiking trails along the gorge.

    10 minutes
  • 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.

  • 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.

    10 minutes

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.
