Fallsview Indoor Waterpark
For the ultimate Family Day experience in Niagara Falls, visit the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark for 3 acres of indoor water fun for the whole family. At a summer-like 84 degrees everyday it is the perfect mid-winter escape. Home to 16 waterslides, a 1,000 gallon tipping bucket, giant indoor pool, plunge bowl, adult-only Jacuzzis and so much more, people of all ages are guaranteed to have an amazing time. For added convenience, the Waterpark is connected to three Niagara Falls Hotels; Sheraton Fallsview, Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls-Fallsview and Skyline Hotel & Waterpark which offer a Hotel Waterpark Package with Waterpark passes for up to 4 guests.
Niagara Parks
Explore Niagara’s most iconic attractions and experiences under the umbrella of Niagara Parks. For a breath of the tropics visit Butterfly Conservatory and the more than 2,000 vibrantly coloured butterflies which flutter freely throughout the lush vegetation and trickling waterfalls. For a different perspective of our famous Falls visit Journey Behind The Falls and see the cascading curtain of water from behind the veil and experience the thunderous vibrations as one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crashes down in front of you.
Niagara Falls Illumination
Experience the beauty of Niagara Falls bathed in a colourful display each night. While the Falls are spectacular at all times of the day, they are mesmerizing at night when lit in a brilliant rainbow of colour thanks to LED light. The Falls Illumination display begins each night at dusk and can be enjoyed from the comfort of a Fallsview Room or suite at one of the Fallsview Hotels or on an evening walk!
Clifton Hill
Visit Niagara’s “Street of Fun” this Family Day for non-stop entertainment and one-of-a-kind attractions just a short walk away from the beautiful Niagara Falls.
