The region of Niagara has a lot to offer visitors, but it’s the old town in Niagara-on-the-Lake that’s one of my favourite places to go at any time of the year. It’s located at the point where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario and its historic buildings make you feel like you’re taking a walk back in time. The countless boutique shops, locally run restaurants, and the various historic sites all play a part in welcoming millions of tourists every year. There’s no shortage of things to do in Niagara-on-the-Lake’s old town
Drive time 90 minutes
Floral Clock
Travel along the scenic Niagara Parkway, towards Niagara-on-the-Lake, to visit Niagara Parks' famous Floral Clock. The intricate designs on the face of the Floral Clock are created with thousands of carpet bedding plants and are changed twice each year. The planted face of the Floral Clock is maintained by Niagara Parks horticulture staff, while the mechanism inside is kept in working order by Ontario Power Generation. The tower at the back of the clock houses Westminster chimes that greet each quarter hour.
Skylon Tower
The Skylon Tower, in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is an observation tower that overlooks both the American Falls, New York, and the larger Horseshoe Falls, Ontario, from the Canadian side of the Niagara River.
Table Rock Welcome Centre
Table Rock Centre has been at the heart of the traveller's experience for decades. Just for you, the inside of this incredible historical building has been transformed and Niagara Parks is thrilled to invite you in! Bright and spacious when you walk in, let your eyes wander as you witness the brand-new architectural features, fast casual food offerings at the new Table Rock Market and two levels of shopping at Table Rock Shop. The all-new design and revamped guest amenities, including a spectacular new entrance into Journey Behind the Falls, Table Rock Centre offers everything you'll need to make your visit to Niagara Parks unforgettable.
You will have around 3 hours of time to explore Niagara Falls independently. Most people will do the Hornblower Niagara Cruise during this time (available from May - November). You can choose to have your lunch at any of the restaurants or fast food eateries in Niagara Falls and you can even eat your lunch right at the brink of the falls where the water goes over the drop. Other activities you can choose to do independently are The Journey Behind the Falls and Niagara's Fury amongst many others. There are also casinos for the adults and Clifton Hill (arcades and Ferris Wheel) for the kids. Wander around taking photos and enjoy the ambience of being at this wonder of the world.

Exploring the enchanting beauty of Niagara Falls from Toronto in Canada left us in awe, especially as we walked along the edge and felt the thundering rush of water nearby. While the tour was well organized, we found some of the scheduled stops a bit rushed, making it hard to fully soak in the surroundings.

From the moment we stepped off the bus, the beauty of the falls took our breath away. We spent a delightful afternoon on a boat tour, gliding close enough to feel the spray while marveling at the grandeur of nature’s masterpiece. While the overall experience was enchanting, we found the lunch stop a bit rushed and wished we had more time to savor our meals. The kids were thrilled to explore the various viewpoints and take countless photos, and we all agreed that the views were even more stunning than we had anticipated. Overall, it was a memorable day that brought our family closer to one of the world’s natural wonders.

We set out from Toronto with high hopes for a day filled with the wonders of nature, and Niagara Falls truly delivered. The drive was scenic, giving us glimpses of the countryside that made the journey enjoyable. Once at the falls, we took a thrilling boat ride that brought us right up to the cascading water, and the mist was refreshing on a warm day. The sheer power of the falls was mesmerizing, and our kids were awestruck by the sight. However, we felt the time spent at the falls could have been a bit longer, as we rushed to fit in lunch and some exploration of the nearby park. Overall, it was an enchanting experience that we would recommend to families looking to discover nature’s beauty just outside of the city.
