After enduring a long winter, are you itching to finally get out, go somewhere new, and do something exciting? If so, Niagara Falls is the perfect place to escape to, as this city turns into a remarkably beautiful tapestry of colour and life once the snow melts, the ice around the waterfall dissolves, and flowers of every type and colour emerge and bloom with the start of spring.
Of course, there is never a bad time to visit a bustling and beautiful city like Niagara Falls, which is constantly buzzing with things to do and sights to see. However, spring is an especially incredible time to take a road trip to this world-famous locale that is home to an honorary wonder of the world.
What are some of the best activities to do in Niagara Falls this spring?
If you are visiting the spectacular city of Niagara Falls this spring and would like to make your trip truly special, there are a number of activities that you can engage in while in the region that will elevate your overall experience.
Although some of these activities are must-dos while in Niagara on a year-long basis, others are particularly enjoyable with the sunny spring weather. The following are some of the best activities to do in the springtime while you are in Niagara Falls:
1. See the waterfalls up close with a Hornblower Cruise
Seeing the waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls for the first time is the closest thing you can get to an unforgettable experience. The sheer size and power of these massive cascades and their booming sound crashing into the Niagara River below is a marvellous feat of nature.
No matter where you view the waterfalls from, you will be amazed by their presence. However, one of the best ways to experience them is up close. This is made possible by Hornblower Niagara Cruises, which facilitates regular boat rides on the Niagara River that will get you as close as can be to the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls.
In fact, you will get so up close and personal with these world-famous waterfalls that you had better be prepared to get drenched in their mist because this thrilling experience tends to get a little wet!
If you journey to Niagara in spring, you are in luck, as Hornblower Niagara Cruises usually opens up right around the start of this season after being closed all winter. So, you will be among the first lucky visitors of the year to enjoy this exciting experience.
2. Take in the beauty of Niagara’s nature
Although the first thing people think of when they hear “Niagara Falls” is obviously the waterfalls, this isn’t the only site of natural beauty in this area. Indeed, the Niagara region is packed with gorgeous parklands, natural areas, and dozens of sprawling gardens that come alive in the spring.
For instance, if you take a stroll through Queen Victoria Park, which is just across the street from the Horseshoe Falls, you will be hit by the beautiful scent of flowers and can enjoy the sight of over 500,000 daffodils in bloom, along with many other flower displays.
If you feel like getting active while taking in Niagara’s beauty, there are plenty of areas to walk or hike, such as the Bruce Trail, which travels along the Niagara Escarpment.
3. Have countless hours of fun on Clifton Hill
Clifton Hill, an amusement area located just up the street from the waterfalls, is another major draw in Niagara Falls, and for a good reason—it is brimming with fun and exciting activities to enjoy, and resembles somewhat of a mini Las Vegas.
One of the latest and most thrilling additions to Clifton Hill is the Niagara Speedway. This combines the excitement of go-kart racing with the adrenaline surge of a rollercoaster ride, as this racetrack stretches out over four acres and contains several multi-story helical spirals and rollercoaster-style ramps.
If you prefer something more relaxed but just as fun, try the Niagara SkyWheel. The 175-foot tall Ferris wheel, which lights up every night, offers spectacular views, allowing you to look out over the entire city and see the waterfalls from above.
When spring arrives and temperatures rise, it is also the perfect time to hit Clifton Hill for some adventure, as this is when the hours are extended for most of the street’s attractions. You will have all the time you need to pack in a full day of fun!
4. Sip some world-renowned wine
The Niagara Region is also home to some of Canada’s best wine, as it is the country’s largest wine-growing region. Thus, if you enjoy a glass of fine wine, visit Niagara-on-the-Lake to experience more beautiful sights and remarkable local vintages.
There are numerous wineries worth visiting in this area, including Konzelmann Estate, Inniskillin, Reif Estate, and Two Sisters Vineyards. You can opt to be escorted from one to another with a guided tour, or you can pick and choose a few to visit on your own.
Spring is the perfect time to sit out on a patio with some delicious wine and take in the beauty of Niagara’s vineyards.
