The Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory is a glass-domed tropical greenhouse opened in 1996 in the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, about 9 km north of the falls. Thousands of butterflies from more than 45 species fly freely along 180 metres of paths among tropical plants and a waterfall, and an emergence window shows pupae hatching.
Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a museum of curiosities on Clifton Hill, one of the Odditoriums that grew out of the collection of oddities gathered around the world by the American cartoonist Robert Ripley. Its building is shaped like a toppled Empire State Building with a King Kong figure standing on top.
The Niagara SkyWheel is a 53-metre Ferris wheel in the middle of Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls, opened in June 2006. Its 42 enclosed gondolas, heated in winter and air-conditioned in summer, carry six to eight people each, and a ride of 10 to 12 minutes looks out over the Niagara River and the Horseshoe and American Falls.
Zipline to the Falls is a zipline run by WildPlay in Niagara Falls. Riders set off from a concrete launch tower on the Niagara Parkway near the foot of Clifton Hill and travel about 670 metres above the Niagara River, past the American Falls, to a landing near the base of the Horseshoe Falls.
The Skylon Tower is a 160-metre observation tower above the Niagara Gorge, opened in 1965. Three glass elevators on its outside climb to the top in under a minute. Indoor and outdoor decks look over the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Niagara River, and a revolving dining room turns once an hour.
Cave of the Winds is a walk on wooden decks at the foot of the Bridal Veil Falls, reached by an elevator that descends about 50 metres from Goat Island into the Niagara Gorge. The natural cave behind the falls that gave it its name was closed after rockfalls and later removed; the Hurricane Deck now stands a few metres from the falling water.
Niagara Takes Flight is a flying theatre ride run by Niagara Parks in the Table Rock Centre beside the Horseshoe Falls. Riders sit in moving seats before a 17-metre domed screen showing drone footage of the 56 km Niagara River corridor from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, with wind, mist and scent effects, after a pre-show on 13,000 years of local history.
Journey Behind the Falls is a set of tunnels and observation decks at the foot of the Horseshoe Falls, reached by elevator from the Table Rock Centre. The first tunnels opened in 1889 and the present ones date from 1944. Two portals open behind the falling water, and the lower deck stands beside the cascade, where visitors wear rain ponchos.
The Niagara Parks Power Station is a former hydroelectric plant on the Niagara River, opened in 1905 for the Canadian Niagara Power Company and closed in 2006. Since 2021 it has been a museum: visitors see the generator hall and control room, and an elevator descends 55 metres to a 670-metre tailrace tunnel ending on a deck at the river’s edge.
Reif Estate Winery is a family winery on the Niagara Parkway in Niagara-on-the-Lake, about 15 km north of Niagara Falls. Ewald Reif bought the land in 1977, replaced its labrusca vines with vinifera varieties and opened the winery in 1982; it made its first icewine in 1984. Visitors come for tastings and vineyard tours.
