While many eagerly await the unofficial start of summer with the 'May Two-Four' long weekend, Victoria Day in Niagara Falls unveils the city in a spectacular display of full bloom! This makes it a truly enchanting time to immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoors. It's just the right time for fireworks, fun and fantastic stays in Niagara Falls.

As the unofficial start of summer, the Victoria Day long weekend (17th-19th May) is the perfect opportunity to explore the myriad of activities Niagara Falls has to offer.

For those seeking thrilling adventures, prepare to be amazed by the 'Full Mist' experience on the Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour with Niagara City Cruises. Alternatively, brace yourself for a complete soaking with Whirlpool Jet Boats or enjoy the refreshing mist from the magnificent Horseshoe Falls at Journey Behind the Falls. Each of these experiences promises breathtaking views and a memorable connection with the Falls.

If staying dry is more your preference, the WildPlay Whirlpool Adventure Course offers an exhilarating experience as you zip, fly, and zoom through a series of suspended obstacles. To fully embrace the season's beauty, wander through the vibrant Botanical Gardens and enchanting Butterfly Conservatory – two destinations that truly capture the essence of springtime.

The celebration extends beyond the long weekend with the return of the spectacular Summer Fireworks Series, lighting up the night sky over Niagara Falls starting on May 16th at 10:00 PM nightly. Complementing the dazzling display is the nightly Falls Illumination, that will light up purple for Victoria Day.

After a day of exploration, finding the perfect place to unwind is essential. Niagara Falls offers stays for every vibe! The luxurious comfort at the Sheraton Fallsview, Embassy Suites, or Marriott on the Falls. For fun-filled adventures, check out Americana Resort Spa and Waterpark, Campark Resorts, or Great Wolf Lodge!

When it comes to dining, enjoy beautiful restaurants, many now with patios open for the season!
