About Niagara Parks

Niagara Parks
 

Niagara Parks is an internationally renowned natural reserve located in Ontario, Canada. This area is celebrated for being home to Niagara Falls, one of the most remarkable natural wonders of the world, comprising the Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. The park extends beyond the iconic falls to encompass miles of riverfront, manicured gardens, historic sites, and lush green spaces that offer visitors endless opportunities for exploration and recreation. Niagara Parks is not only a feast for the eyes but also a vital habitat for a wide array of plant and animal species. The progression of seasonal changes provides vibrant colors in autumn foliage, fresh greens of spring, and the sparkling white of winter, making it a year-round destination. Historical attractions, including Fort Erie and the Butterfly Conservatory, give insight into the past and enrich the overall experience. The park is a favored spot for various outdoor activities, such as hiking along the Niagara River Recreation Trail, enjoying the panoramic views from Skylon Tower, or experiencing the thrills of the Whirlpool Aero Car.
