Winter Festival of Lights Drive

Enjoy the magic of the season as you experience spectacular displays lit up with 3 million lights. The Niagara Winter Festival of Lights displays include the illumination of the falls, Canadian Wildlife displays, trees wrapped in lights along the Niagara Parkway and Dufferin Islands, the light show on the Toronto Power Generating Station, the two-story tall Zimmerman Fountain, a larger-than-life Gingerbread house, light tunnels, and a visitor favourite, Noah’s Ark!

Dinner at the Skylon Tower 

Silently rotating 360 degrees every hour, enjoy dinner with unparalleled views of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, The American Falls, The Bridal Veil Falls, and the Niagara River at the Skylon Tower.

Exploring Niagara-on-the-Lake

Niagara-on-the-Lake truly is a quaint, beautiful old town.  Whether you have shopping items in mind or some free time, it is always a delight to wander through the heritage district’s eclectic collection of boutiques, bistros, and galleries. If more of a sightseeing walk would be appealing, the Niagara-on-the-Lake Waterfront Trail provides an easy paved trail from Fort George along the river.

Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse 

Surround yourself with colourful blooms and extravagant flower displays at this year-round tropical paradise. Here you will find incredible collections of orchids, succulents, and other tropical plant species on display including the seasonal Poinsettia Show. 

Mystic Lounge Magic Show

Imagine a mind-bending experience where borrowed objects vanish and reappear, float through the air, and challenge the perceptions of reality. Be prepared to be astounded by magician Edward Stone as he blends amazing magic with psychological illusions in his headlining show, Mind Trix.
