Best Nature and Wildlife Areas in Niagara Falls

"Located off the Niagara Parkway, this is hands-down my favorite thing to do in Niagara Falls with the family!. Away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist attractions of Clifton Hill, the Niagara Glen Nature Area offers 4 kms of hiking trails down the Niagara escarpment. Stop at the information center to pick up your trail map and set off on your adventure."

"Stunning views of the turquoise water of the Niagara River, nature hikes, overlooks of Niagara Gorge and Whirlpool are just a few of the reasons people visit every year. It’s perfect for those who are interested in the more natural attractions that Niagara Falls has to offer."

With a really awesome vibey forest that on foggy days, looks absolutely amazing around dusk and how the light beams through the forest transforming the scenery into something straight out of Tolkien book. And when the weather is overcast its still really cool too, like in these two examples hiking the top of the ridge."

"Endorsed by Accessibility Niagara, Heartland Forest is an outdoor area of wheelchair accessible hiking trails, fish ponds (catch and release with your own gear), animal carvings, and a tree house in the middle of the woods. Also enjoy their playground, with a custom merry-go-round, swing, and unique fire pit that accommodate wheelchairs safely and easily. We had a lot of fun here, just letting the kids explore."

"Any rock fan worth his/her salt that apart from the legacy the musicians left behind, there is no real museum as such that’s solely dedicated to the pioneers of this beloved genre. The brains behind the Rock Legends Wax Museum sure took a good stab at it- and succeeded, mind you!. If you like rock music, don’t even stop to think twice and just head to the Rock Legends Wax Museum and ...Read more"

"Housed in a former church, the Buffalo Religious art Center is dedicated towards preserving religious art from churches that have been forced to shut down. It was formed in 2008 with this sole mission in mind. The St Francis Xavier church is where this institution is located and it is fascinating to see the building so beautifully preserved."
