Explore the Floral Trail
The Floral Trail follows a 3-km route with spectacular views of the Falls and local gardens, located near restaurants, shops and attractions to experience the best of Niagara Falls during an overnight getaway.
Start your route at Rambler’s Rest, the famed lookout point along the Niagara Parkway, where you will see a fresh floral mannequin inspired by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film Niagara – partially shot right on that spot. Make your way along the Parkway to Queen Victoria Place, stopping to view the installations at the Niagara Parks Police building. Continue down the Parkway and keep an eye out for displays near the Illumination Tower and Table Rock Welcome Centre including an orange floral hoop to honor the children of the Residential School tragedies.
Head toward the Niagara Parks Power Station, the 116-year-old power station recently transformed into Niagara’s newest visitor experience, offering daytime guided and self-guided tours, as well as an immersive nighttime sound and light experience, Currents: Niagara’s Power Transformed. Don’t miss the Niagara Parks culinary experiences and workshops.
Ride up the Falls Incline Railway to stroll through the Fallsview Entertainment District. Starting at the corner of Livingstone Street and Fallsview Boulevard, the Marriot on the Falls showcases a spectacular floral staircase (indoors) and a floral bench (outdoors). Further north along Fallsview Boulevard encounter fresh floral mannequins, a bear in a floral garden at the Radisson Hotel, and a lovely floral heart in front of the Fallsview Casino.
Across from the Casino, the Hilton Hotel features two floral installations (one outside and one inside). Around the corner on Murray Street you’ll spot the American Falls on your way to the Skylon Tower and across the promenade to Robinson Street where you’ll experience six beautiful pop-up displays, including a floral replica of the Skylon Tower. Don’t miss the Skylon Tower’s floral-themed delights on the Revolving Dining Room’s lunch and dinner menus.
Continue along to the Old Stone Inn to experience two impressive floral installations with floral-themed culinary and artistry events taking place during the Fleurs de Villes festival.
