Plan Your Visit - Things To Do
Outdoor Recreation
Niagara’s parks, trails, and gardens offer endless ways to explore—by bike, or on foot. Wander through the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, home to 99 acres of vibrant landscapes and the enchanting Butterfly Conservatory. Or, visit Queen Victoria Park, every season shines, from spring blooms to winter’s frosted branches.
Along the Niagara River Recreational Trail, stretch your journey across 56 kilometers of scenic beauty connecting Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake, passing gardens, lookouts, and historic landmarks once described by Churchill as “the prettiest Sunday afternoon drive in the world.”
Book a Tour
Local companies offer sightseeing tours of Niagara and the Falls, while visitors may also indulge a particular interest with a themed Niagara tour. Niagara wine tours traverse the region in search of the perfect Chardonnay, double decker tours lend a different perspective to the city, or Niagara adventure tours take visitors on a whirlwind of the area’s most exciting attractions.
Taking a tour in Niagara Falls will allow you to interact with knowledgeable tour guides that can give you all the valuable tid- bits of everything Niagara. Often times they take the burden a way of finding your way, parking and in some cases front of the line options at Niagara Falls attractions. Taking a combination tour between Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls is a great way to spend the week in Niagara.
Go Shopping
Head to the Canada One Factory Outlet on Lundy’s Lane with over 20 brand name stores or visit the Outlet Collection in Niagara-on-the-Lake, a unique open air collection of over 100+ brand name stores.
Within the heart of the tourist district there are also many shopping options. On Clifton Hill there are a number of shops where you can pick up souvenirs from your visit to Niagara Falls. If you are looking for shopping decadence then we would recommend the Fallsview Casino Resort Shopping Galleria, great shops integrated with great restaurants and a Casino right there for a one stop shopping experience.

Walk Across the Rainbow Bridge
The Rainbow Bridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge that spans the Niagara River between Rainbow Boulevard in Niagara Falls, New York, and Prospect Avenue in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
The bridge was built in 1938 by the Canadian Pacific Railway company to carry passengers between both sides of the river. Still, it is now open to pedestrians 24 hours a day and year-round. Canada and the United States have designated the structure as a National Historic Civil Engineering Site. In addition, it won an award for its beauty at its dedication ceremony.
