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.  

Famous Criminals Hall of Fame

WAX MUSEUM

5751 Victoria Ave
Niagara Falls, ON L2G 3L6
(905) 374-3011

The Criminal Hall of Fame boasts a vintage selection of masterfully crafted wax replicas of notorious criminals from throughout history.  Each character is presented in historically relevant surrounding to enhance the effect of coming face to face with these villians.  Their stories have been carefully researched and included in each scene.  Some have been romanticised like Bonnie and Clyde or Jesse James.  Infamous gangsters like Al Capone and John Gotti have become cultural icons.  Some, like Jack the Ripper, slipped into the night never to be identified.  Others met justice at the end of a rope or in front of a firing squad.  The age-old curiosity remains; what makes these men and women tick? And how can we be sure they are not walking amongst us?
