Things to Do
Every way to feel the falls.
From the brink, from behind, from the river, from above, and after dark. These are the official Canadian-side experiences we plan around most often.
From the brink
Table Rock
The Canadian viewing platform at the lip of Horseshoe Falls. Free to walk, mist included.
Journey Behind the Falls
Elevator down through Table Rock to tunnels and platforms behind and beside the sheet of water.
Niagara City Cruises
The 20-minute ride to the base of the Horseshoe. Bring a poncho, expect to be soaked.
Along the gorge
Niagara Parks Power Station & Tunnel
A century of hydroelectric machinery, plus a 671-metre tunnel that opens under the falls.
White Water Walk
Boardwalk beside the Class VI rapids downstream of the Whirlpool.
Whirlpool Aero Car
Antique cable car over the Niagara Whirlpool since 1916.
Niagara Glen
A wild trail network 60 metres down into the gorge. Stairs, roots, real footwear.
Parks & gardens
Queen Victoria Park
The long floral park framing the Canadian falls.
Botanical Gardens & Butterfly Conservatory
40 hectares of teaching gardens plus 2,000 free-flying butterflies.
Floral Clock
A working clock made of 16,000 seasonal plants at the north end of the Parkway.
After dark
Falls Illumination
Nightly light on both falls, tinted for holidays and tributes.
Currents: Niagara's Power Transformed
