Maid of the Mist boat ride - The Maid of the Mist cruises to the base of the American Falls, then to the basin of the Horseshoe Falls. Since 1846, when the first boat was a wooden-hulled, coal-fired steamboat, the fleet has ferried presidents, kings, film stars and millions of tourists into the magical mist. Most rave that the journey gave them the ride of their lives! Raincoats are provided on this excursion.

 

 

Journey Behind The Falls - You emerge far below the rim of the gorge. You've journeyed deep within to touch the heart of Niagara. Before you, the mighty river explodes after free-falling more than thirteen stories. The sound is deafening, the sight, awe-inspiring. And this is only the beginning.

 

 

White Water Walk - at White Water Walk, you'll ride an elevator down 70 meters, then walk along a tunnel that is 73 metres long.  The Boardwalk beside the rapids is 325 metres (1,066 feet or ¼ mile) and stairs lead to two observation areas at the edge of the River.

 

The water travels at different speeds along the length of the Niagara River.  South of the Falls where the river is wide and slow, the maximum speed is about 40 km/h.  Near the brink of the Falls, a speed of 109km/h has been recorded.  As the water travels through the Whirlpool Rapids at White Water Walk, it is traveling at about 45 km/h.

 

Butterfly Conservatory - in a tropical rainforest setting you explore an ingenious network of pathways among lush, exotic flora. Everywhere there are exquisite butterflies floating in the warm, moist air or spreading their iridescent wings on leaves and flowers. It's one more magical, surreal environment that makes up the fascinating Niagara Parks experience.

 

 

Niagara Falls Botanical Gardens - The Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens was originally established in 1936 as the School for Apprentice Gardeners. It remains a unique location for studying gardening and obtaining the knowledge necessary to grow and maintain the landscapes of the Park System. With an increase in magnitude and quality of the plant collections, the school campus was officially declared a Botanical Garden in 1990. Since 1936, horticultural excellence has been the emphasis of The School of Horticulture. The training program is designed to enable all students to obtain practical experience by daily participation in horticultural activities. The students are responsible for the maintenance and development of the Botanical Gardens. In addition, an intensive classroom lecture schedule is designed to provide students with a sound basic knowledge of horticultural theory. The mission of the Botanical Gardens is to train students in the art, mystery and science of horticulture while providing opportunities for visitor enjoyment, study and research.

 

Free time in Niagara-on-the-Lake (lunch not included) - once the capital of Ontario, Niagara-on-the-Lake is a quaint township, full of unique visitor experiences and stunning scenery. Set by the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, it was home to a strong military presence and a busy port.
