Summer has quickly passed, but Niagara Falls is still full of endless entertainment throughout the Fall season. One of the benefits of Niagara is that it is an all-season destination and Autumn is arguably the best time to visit, with the region cloaked in colourful leaves and crisp air. So, what attractions can you visit to enhance your stay even further than just taking in the stunning views? Here are just a few choices for your visit.
Book your spot on the top visitor experience in Niagara Falls, the Niagara City Cruises. Voyage into the mist on a twenty-minute ride. This journey of a lifetime offers guests stunning views of the Niagara Gorge, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls and finally ventures to the base of the Horseshoe Falls. Visit before October 9 and experience a Fireworks Cruise departing at 9:30 each night. View the gorgeous nightly illumination and enjoy the exploding fireworks above while surrounded by the thundering water of the Falls.
If you really want to take in the views of the Fall foliage, visit the Whirlpool Adventure Course and climb high above the Niagara Escarpment where you can appreciate the season from a new vantage point. Walk across tightropes, climb cargo nets, fly on rope swings, sore on zip lines, and toggle over wobbly bridges and swinging logs. All visits start with a training session and include free parking.
Afraid you missed out on adventure this summer? The Whirlpool Jet Boats keeps the excitement going right through to November! If you are brave enough, book a Wet Jet Boat Tour where you will get soaked from head to toe in the rapids of the Niagara Gorge. Your ride starts with a slow cruise down the Niagara River where you will have some time to appreciate the Fall leaves and learn about the river, whirlpool, and power station. Once the thrills start, you’ll be glad you took advantage of the free poncho. Want the adventure without getting soaked? Book the Freedom Jet Dry Tour where you can experience the natural awe-inspiring scenery and the exhilaration of the class 5 rapids, all while staying completely dry. Perfect for a crisp Autumn Day!
Celebrate your Thanksgiving on the greens this year! Visit Peninsula Lakes Golf Club and enjoy the views of the expansive course from your power cart as you enjoy a round with friends. Visit on October 8th and enjoy a fresh made Thanksgiving Dinner in the clubhouse where your meal is paired with a perfect view of the colourful trees. Start with your choice of Butternut Squash Soup or a Warm Pear Autumn Salad. Enjoy your Traditional Turkey Dinner, complete with slow roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, sage stuffing, cranberries, and turkey gravy. Or opt for the Vegetarian Harvest Bowl with quinoa, bean medley, sweet corn, edamame, roasted autumn vegetables, sweet potato, lentils, and baby spinach. Finish your meal with a slice of Pumpkin Pie or a Signature Apple Tart. Call 905-892-8844 ext. 288 to make a reservation.
