What to do and see in Niagara Falls, Canada: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas

September 25, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

Once a destination for honeymoons and family vacations, Niagara Falls has really stepped it up as an action-packed vacation spot. The falls are literally the biggest draw – watching the frothy water tumble at alarming speeds can be mesmerizing. Throw on a poncho and hop aboard the Maid of the Mist to cruise close enough to the falls to be drenched by spray. Hit the main strip of Clifton Hill for flashy tourist attractions and restaurants galore.

Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse

For over 60 years visitors have come to Discover Paradise at this lush oasis, just a short walk from the Niagara Falls. Collections of orchids, succulents and other tropical plant species are on display throughout the year, along with floral shows that reflect the changing seasons. Flying throughout the greenery are colourful tropical birds that may sing for your entertainment!

I think the Floral Showhouse is the forgotten treasure of the Niagara Parks attractions in the immediate area of Niagara Falls. It's beautiful. Go see it.
