Winter Festival of Lights

Immerse yourself in the enchanting ambiance of the ​​Winter Festival of Lights. Delight in the mesmerizing displays and festive atmosphere.


A nice drive through. Lights are beautiful. Please visit late at night so that you can park and walk around and enjoy the time. Recommend the place but definitely during the holidays.

Visited Dufferin Island and was blown away by the natural beauty of the place. The island is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy some peace and quiet. The nature is incredible, with lush greenery and a variety of wildlife. I particularly enjoyed the walking trails and the scenic views of the Niagara River. The park has plenty of amenities such as picnic tables, and parking. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Dufferin Island and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing day out in nature.

Nice place to go for a walk with nature so close to all the tacky touristy stuff in Niagara Falls.  Lots of water fowl and the chickadees are very friendly so make sure you bring nuts and seeds for them.  No salt of course.

Love this place! it's nice to walk around. Lots of wildlife.
Please don't feed them !
Lots of parking
Festival of lights in the winter is beautiful
As a local this is one of my fav places 😀

Dufferin Islands

The Dufferin Islands are located a short distance away from Niagara’s famous waterfalls. The Islands are connected by wooden footbridges and span over 10 acres. You’ll be surprised by the peaceful serenity of the Islands, given their close proximity to Niagara’s famous waterfalls. Here you will find many walking trails, benches and picnic tables. For those who love exploring the outdoors in a relaxed setting, we would definitely recommend a visit to the Dufferin Islands. The Dufferin Islands are family friendly as well. Most of the walking trails are flat so it is easily accessible to those with strollers and/or wheelchairs. The Dufferin Islands are open all year-round. Between November and December, you can enjoy displays from the Winter Festival of Lights here.

We were visiting Niagara for my wife’s birthday and it was her first time getting in a helicopter but it was an experience she will always cherish. It was definitely worth the money, and would recommend it to anyone who has never tried it.

Disturbing music during the flight and very rude staff. If there are not enough people for a flight, they claim the weather is bad (but it was almost cloudless).

However, the flight and the view were great!!!👍🏽

Furthermore, photos are taken of you at the beginning with strangers - who buys that in the end?

Incredible experience! The activity is very well organized. We were out of season and therefore alone in the helicopter, it was crazy!!

Above all, don't book here!!
To begin with, the service is billed in $US and not in $CAD although it takes place on Canadian soil. Very subtle difference on the site...
Then and this is the most important, the agency canceled the activity because of bad weather but never informed me! So I came from Toronto on purpose for a night flight and when I arrived the agency was closed... Obviously it was impossible to reach anyone on the phone and the service provider did not consider it necessary to inform its customers.
This is absolutely unacceptable, keep your money and give it to someone more competent and more respectful of their customers.

Niagara Falls Helicopter Tour

Niagara Helicopters Ride Canada

The Niagara Helicopters will give you the ride of a lifetime with an extraordinary opportunity to observe the incredible vastness of the Falls and the Niagara River as it feeds into the gorge on a Niagara Helicopter Ride.

I want to start by saying our server/waiter was amazing which made our dining experience amazing. We had tried to make reservations but was full so we decided to just visit the Falls. During our visit I decided to ask if there was possibilities to do a walk in and was quickly informed that they had space so we proceeded to wait to be seated. I asked what looked like a manager in hostess area if she would validate my parking ticket as our main interest in visiting the location was to have our New Years dinner there and she indicated that they only validated reservation parking and not walk in’s so I “kinda” accepted that and proceeded to walk in to our table. Once inside I was a little confused, restaurant was half empty but still didn’t say anything thinking well maybe the reservations or for a later time well we ended up staying and enjoying our meal until 8:30 pm and noticed multiple tables empty during all of our dining time there. My point is why take reservations if most people don’t honor them? The restaurant is located inside a tourist destination so in my opinion walk in’s should be more than welcomed without the concern of requiring a reservation or you can use 25% of the dining room for reservations only and push the other 75% for any walk in’s. This restaurant does not have a low cost menu so I can’t imagine any long waits to get in so the hostess should in my opinion be more welcoming and if your validating parking there shouldn’t be a requirement as our 400usd dinner for three would’ve been the same price if it was a reservation, anyway just my opinion.

I'm on the best views in restaurants in Niagara falls You're right next to the mouth of the falls it is actually spectacular.
Waitress was super friendly and introduced me to my new favorite beer silversmith black lager
Unfortunately the food was below par we ordered a Reuben pulled pork sandwich and a burger both meats were dry as to the bone suggesting they were frozen and not fresh what a shame for a restaurant of this caliber

It’s about what you’ll expect from a restaurant at one of these more expensive restaurants

View of the falls from the restaurant was amazing. Food was okay, nothing too fancy. Staff were friendly and helpful.
