The Floral Clock
|
This unique attraction is a very popular stop on the Niagara Parkway and is photographed almost as often as the Falls! The planted face is
maintained by Niagara Parks horticulture staff, while the mechanism is kept in working order by Ontario Hydro, the organization that originally built the clock. The intricate designs on the
face of the timepiece are created with up to 16,000 carpet bedding plants. The floral design is changed twice each year - it features viola in the Spring and four cultivars of Alternanthera
along with green and grey forms of Santolina Sage during the Summer and Fall. California Golden Privet and Blue Festuca Grass may be used for contrast. The grounds surrounding the clock
feature bedding displays and a Tower at the back of the clock houses Westminster chimes that greet each quarter hour. If the door into the Tower is open, you can take a glimpse at the clock
mechanism and enjoy photographs that show the history of every face design all the way back to 1950.

Journey Behind the Falls
Journey Behind the Falls is a very special place during the winter months. The mist of the Falls freezes in spectacular ice formations on every tree and
building. Viewing the Falls in winter should not be missed!
|
At Journey Behind the Falls, you'll experience the awesome spectacle of one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crashing down
to the basin below. During summer daylight hours, over 2,800 cubic meters of water thunders over the brink every second, travelling 65 kilometers per hour!
Your Journey Behind the Falls visit will take 30 to 45 minutes. In the spring and summer months, you'll receive a free souvenir biodegradable rain poncho as
protection from the mist of the Falls. Elevators descend 150 feet through bedrock to tunnels that lead and to the Cataract Portal and the Great Falls Portal which is one third of the way
behind the massive sheet of water. Then you walk on to the Upper and Lower Observation Decks at the very foot of the Falls.
