The Ultimate Autumn Escape of Flavours, Views & Thrills

Day 1: Afternoon Arrival

Begin your journey by arriving in Niagara Falls where the cool autumn air greets you with a sense of anticipation. Check into your chosen accommodation, ideally a cozy hotel with views of the Falls. After settling in, take a walk along the Niagara Parkway for scenic viewpoints and head to Clifton Hill, a bustling hub of entertainment and attractions. Enjoy dinner at one of the charming local restaurants.

Day 1: Evening

As the sun sets, make your way to Queen Victoria Park. Here, the Falls Illumination lights up the Horseshow and American Falls with a mesmerizing play of colours. If you're visiting before Canadian Thanksgiving, you can also catch a stunning fireworks display every night at 10pm.

Start your day with a rejuvenating breakfast or brunch at your hotel. Then embark on a picturesque walk along the Niagara Parkway, a scenic route that offers panoramic views of the Niagara River and the vibrant fall foliage. Get up close views of the Falls and feel the mist on your face with Niagara City Cruises, Journey Behind the Falls or the Niagara Parks Power Station + Tunnel. For an immersive adventure, book one of our Guided Tour Experiences.

Immerse yourself in nature's delicate beauty at the Butterfly Conservatory and wander through lush gardens at the Botanical Gardens before continuing along the Niagara Parkway into wine country to sip and savour at wineries, breweries and distilleries. For a real culinary treat, make reservations to dine at Trius Winery Restaurant - the only Michelin Guide recommended restaurant in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Day 2: Evening

Indulge in the vibrant atmosphere of the Fallsview Casino, where you can enjoy entertainment and dining options. For craft cocktails and late night vibes, pop into La Favella, Wildflower Social or Niagara Distillery. Live music can be found across the city, from OLG Stage to local restaurants and bars - view all events to help plan your visit.

Day 3: Morning

The autumn colours are breathtaking against the powerful rapids of the Niagara River and you can get up close at White Water Walk or from above on the Whirlpool Aero Car. 

Enjoy lunch with a view at a variety of local restaurants that focus on local ingredients and seasonal dishes. Take in even more views of the majestic Falls with a flight on Niagara Helicopters or National Helicopters. This once-in-a-lifetime experience is the perfect way to end your visit to Niagara Falls, Canada.
