Butterfly Conservatory
|
Let Your Spirit Soar!
The self-guided walking tour of the Butterfly Conservatory begins with a short, informative video presentation that is close captioned for the hearing impaired.
This magical attraction features over 2,000 colourful tropical butterflies floating freely among lush, exotic blossoms and greenery. Paths wind through the rainforest
setting, past a pond and waterfall and the Emergence window, where butterflies leave their pupae and prepare to take their first flight!

Take a historical ride
aboard the world famous Maid of the Mist. Since 1846, millions of
visitors have enjoyed the Maid of the Mist boat tours. The powerful
diesel-engined boats take visitors to the base of the American Falls
and then on to the basin of the magnificent Canadian Horseshoe
Falls. Water rushes all around as you "soak" in the excitement and
feel the thunder of the Falls. It's a half hour thrill of a
lifetime! Reusable, souvenir rain coats are provided with
admission.

The Floral Clock
|
This unique attraction is a very popular stop on the Niagara Parkway and is photographed almost as often as the Falls! The planted face is
maintained by Niagara Parks horticulture staff, while the mechanism is kept in working order by Ontario Hydro, the organization that originally built the clock. The intricate designs on the
face of the timepiece are created with up to 16,000 carpet bedding plants. The floral design is changed twice each year - it features viola in the Spring and four cultivars of Alternanthera
along with green and grey forms of Santolina Sage during the Summer and Fall. California Golden Privet and Blue Festuca Grass may be used for contrast. The grounds surrounding the clock
feature bedding displays and a Tower at the back of the clock houses Westminster chimes that greet each quarter hour. If the door into the Tower is open, you can take a glimpse at the clock
mechanism and enjoy photographs that show the history of every face design all the way back to 1950.
