Overlooking the spectacular Niagara River, the Niagara Glen Nature Centre offers a wide array of refreshments and unique souvenirs.

The Niagara Glen is a unique spot of beauty deep in the Great Gorge that has been a designated Nature Reserve since 1992. Stairways lead to 4 km (2.5 mi) of paths that wind through a pristine pocket of Carolinian Forest, past boulders left behind as the Falls eroded through the area thousands of years ago.

The Niagara Parks Commission Floral Showhouse has been drawing visitors for over 60 years. Visitors that come to the Floral Showhouse, discover paradise at this lush oasis, just a short walk from the Falls. Collections of orchids, succulents and other tropical plant species are on display throughout the year, along with floral shows that reflect the changing seasons.

This unique and stunning display is a very popular stop on the Niagara Parkway and is photographed almost as often as the Falls! The planted face is maintained by the Niagara Parks horticulture staff, while the mechanism is kept in working order by Ontario Power Generation. 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.

Dufferin Islands is a popular area for locals and tourists alike. Made up of 10 acres of paradise, the quiet and secluded area contains several small islands connected by bridges and footpaths. In recent years, efforts have been made to further naturalize this area with the introduction of fish, the installation of bird feeding stations and bird boxes, as well as planting indigenous vegetation appropriate for this environment.

Plan a special visit to Niagara Parks in May or early June to experience our fragrant Lilac Garden. Located on a ten acre area just to the north side of the Floral Clock, this collection contains over 1,200 plants with over 200 different varieties. Come out at this special time of year to experience the whole range of colors and gorgeous fragrances.

Created in 1967 to commemorate Canada's Centennial Year, the American Rotary Clubs of District 709 contributed funds towards the development of this unique garden.

Legends on the Niagara is located just an hour and a half from Toronto, within minutes of the Peace, Rainbow and Whirlpool international bridges from the U.S. This facility is one-of-a-kind, with 1,000 acres of natural landscape that boast two 18-hole championship courses, a 9-hole short course, and an incredible 45-acre, 360° driving range.
