Niagara Falls at Christmas...
For the YOUNG and the Young at Heart alike!
The stuff memories that last a lifetime are made of...
Visit it if you can, for the day, the weekend or a week, maybe longer?
Do not miss this. Niagara Falls and surrounding region is packed full of activities, events and adventure for people and families of all ages.
WINTER FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
A 5 kilometre route along the Niagara Parkway and Dufferin Islands with 120 animated displays and over 3 million lights (my conservationist rants are temporarily suspended ;-) capped off with Fireworks over the Falls. My wife and I enjoyed this long before we had our son, and now we enjoy it through his eyes also. Other festival highlights include free concerts and comedy and theatrical presentations. Though the displays are free, a $5 to $10 dollar donation is appreciated towards the cost of the lights.
RINK ON THE BRINK
New this year, an outdoor rink near Table Rock, outdoor skating with a view of the American and Canadian Falls.
CLIFTON HILL
Just one block from the Falls, Clifton Hill is packed with eateries of all types and year-round attractions. Do not miss the Sky Wheel!!!
BUTTERFLY CONSERVATORY
More than 2000 butterfly float freely among the flora and fauna of this simulated tropical rain forest, a perfect respite from the cold of Niagara at Christmastime.
If you are planning to make more than a day of it, there are plenty of reasonable packages available at the local hotels (some including indoor pools and waterslides).
Other features include an amazing Aviary, Fallsview and Niagara Casinos, Niagara's Fury (an interactive 4D movie). Niagara on the Lake is just a short drive away and full of local atmosphere.
