A really nice park with a playground and a splashpad neither of which I used today but were still looking pretty awesome. Tough to get a picture of them without including the kids and being "that guy."
Great to sit in the shade after biking all around Niagara today.

Beautiful park. Splash pad. Lots off shade and places to sit and have bite or a coffee.
My kids absolutely loved it.

A great splash pad and park, during the summer months the park has a free public pool as well! Would recommend for families
Nice park just off McLeod road. Tennis court, basketball hoop, with splash pad for kids from June to September.
Very nice and quite place
But washrooms were closed 😡

So far I have never seen such a good grass ground. It's a really vast and calm place . It's not crowded in the evenings.
Went here for a photoshoot. Was extremely happy with all the options for places for the photographer to take the photos. Do you want the Falls with a rainbow in the background? Some trees in the background? How about some beautiful flowers? Maybe some lush greenery growing up a wooden pergola?Because you'll find it all here! 😊
It's a wonderful place for kids and family. Rides are so much fun, and kids enjoy watching penguins, dolphins, bears, deers, and other animals.
I strongly recommend buying a season pass at the beginning of the season because you'll go more than once.

Everyone should be familiar with Niagara Falls, right? This world-famous transnational waterfall is something you never get tired of visiting, because when you stand next to the waterfall, you are really shocked by the amount of water flowing there! 🤩 It is indeed a “must-visit attraction” on the travel lists of major magazines all year round🥰
⏰Niagara Falls is open year-round and 24 hours a day. ⏰
💰About waterfall price🎫: Free. 💰
🖼️About the waterfall: It is composed of two parts, one part is in the United States 🇺🇸 and the other part is in Canada 🇨🇦. (Personally, I think the waterfall from Canada🇨🇦 will be more shocking, because the Canadian side can see the entire Horseshoe Bay Falls panorama, while the American side can only see part of it, so from the perspective of perception, Canada🇨🇦 is better👍 🏻. Pictures 8-9 were taken in the United States 🇺🇸, you can refer to them.)🖼️
🚘About transportation: There are basically Bus🚌 (such as Mega bus, Flix, etc.) or Train🚂 (Go train) to Niagara Falls in major cities in Ontario, or you can also drive by yourself, so everyone chooses the travel method that suits you.

⚠️Notes on the cruise ship: Because the cruise ship is very close to the waterfall, although disposable raincoats will be issued when you get on the ship, the water in the waterfall is really too big, and you will get wet even if you wear a raincoat, so it is recommended that you give your mobile phone 📱/camera 📷 Prepare a waterproof bag. ⚠️

Beautiful park. Perfect place to view the fireworks at night
Great Park For Free Adventure
My wife, son, and I came to Niagara Falls on a weekend excursion from Ottawa (Aug 26 2023). We always visit same old landmarks of the region so I wanted to try something new. Reason I gave this place a 5-star is because Parks Niagara made it possible for visitors to descend all the way down to the Niagara River whirlpool in a safe way. One gets to descend on these very steep wooden staircases and then walk through narrow challenging trails. So long you use common sense and refrain from doing crazy stunts we found this challenge very rewarding (we knew the risks involved). I felt very satisfying and rewarded knowing we have reached the bottom of the escarpment (it’s as if we descended the entirety of the Horseshoe Falls). Highly recommended!

Awesome place so much fun. The rides are amazing. Dragon mountain ride,star voyager and the Sky screamer rides are amazing.. They even have a splash pad it's amazing
A tourist destination for sure, on both sides. Crowded and feels like a tourist trap, but once you get up to the river and see the falls you tend to feel like you are all alone. The falls are beautiful. In Hamilton ON for unrelated activities, my son and I drove over to the falls when we realized how close we were. Parking was $35 which is high, but that's to be expected in such a place. I wouldn't go out of my way to go from either side, but if I'm in the area again I'll stop by again.
It was a mind-blowing experience to watch the Niagara Falls from this close. Absolutely, Niagara Falls has a way of leaving visitors in awe with its sheer natural beauty and power. The sight and sound of the rushing water cascading over the falls is truly mesmerizing. Whether you're taking a boat tour to get up close, exploring the surrounding parks, or simply gazing at the falls from various viewpoints, it's an experience that left a profound and unforgettable impression on me.
Niagara Falls is one of the most beautiful places in Canada. The entire view is splendid. We joined a cruise tour that allowed us to closely watch the falls. It was truly an amazing experience. Everyone should go and give it a try if they have the time!
Excellent view of the Falls, amazing sight to see, definitely worth visiting. This was my first time back since the early 2000s and the view is still spectacular. My kids loved it. Highly recommend visiting here
I recently visited Marineland, and I must say, my experience left much to be desired. The changes in services, restaurant closures, shortened shows, and increased ticket prices have left me feeling quite dissatisfied.
Firstly, one of the major letdowns was the noticeable cutback in services. It seemed that the park had scaled back on the amenities and offerings that were once a part of the overall experience. This made the visit feel less enjoyable and less value for money.
The closure of several shows, shops, and restaurants was another disappointment, and the absence of these options left visitors with limited choices, making it inconvenient for those looking to enjoy a meal within the park.
Moreover, the show, which used to be a highlight of the visit, was reduced to a mere 10 to 15 minutes. This dramatic reduction in showtime greatly diminished the entertainment value of the park. Visitors come to Marineland expecting to witness captivating shows, and a 10 to 15-minute performance simply doesn't live up to those expectations.
Lastly, the increase in ticket prices was hard to ignore. It's understandable that prices may rise over time, but the combination of reduced services, closed restaurants, and shortened shows made it difficult to justify the higher cost of admission.
Overall, my recent visit to Marineland was far from satisfying. The noticeable cutbacks in services, significantly shortened show duration, and increased ticket prices have taken away from the overall experience. I hope that the management addresses these issues to ensure that future visitors can enjoy the park as it once was, with the value and entertainment they deserve.

Niagara Falls, Canada, is a natural wonder that's simply breathtaking. The falls themselves are awe-inspiring, and the surrounding scenery is picturesque. The town offers a range of attractions, and the hospitality is top-notch. It's a must-visit destination for its beauty and adventure, leaving you in awe of nature's grandeur.
Amazing space if you want to view the falls this is the place to do to
It was good
Ky initial thought of this place is that it was mid, overcrowded, and overhyped. While I still do stand with those thoughts, the experience is still definitely worth it. The falls look AMAZING at night and look much better up close than far away. While the area is definitely made into a tourist trap with all the extra attractions, the falls are beautiful. And the extra lighting they add onto the water during sunset and at night look absolutely amazing.
Great place to visit. Beautiful view during a day and at night.
10 pm fireworks.

Marineland is in a bit of a sad state. I went on a weekend and many of the rides weren’t operational. The animal exhibits are concerning at best, with some miserable looking bears and various sea animals. There is an incredibly long walk between any of the attractions. Dragon mountain in particular is a trek to get to. The park was clean, though, and the rides that were open were of high quality. The place just needs some love!
Very nice little park in the middle of town. Splash pad was a huge hit with the little ones, the playground is great - clean, sturdy, and new. Picnic area allowed a nice family gathering. Great place!
Always a fun time. Clean, and alot of playground options. The water park is new.
The only bad point is that the bathrooms need more attention

I have had the pleasure of visiting Niagara Falls twice - in the summer time and also in the winter! These photos are from the Winter (must find the summer ones!).
Absolutely breathtaking, I mean just standing beside it, the noise, the spray from the water, the pressure of the washing flowing past! Exhilarating! Also be cautious though, as it can get quite slippery! No climbing on the walls/rails! :)

This place is like having a baby between a small amusement park, a small zoo and a national park. It's a great place for walks with an area for picnics. You can feed a variety of things like bears, fish, ducks, deer, elk. For the deer they said you can pick up the grass and feed them. They are very gentle. The staff are seriously friendly. Truly down to earth sort of people. Washrooms are clean. Not set up for COVID things if anyone was wondering. It's a pre-pandemic location. Small water area for the kids to cool off and adults to relax. It's not a bad place to visit but it's not at all like Wonderland. Very simple setting. There is only one show that is 10 to 15 mins long.the show occurs 3 times a day and are at 12pm, 3pm and 6:15pm in 2023.
Convenient, If the parking is full it's our fault, one should go early to get parking.
A lot of parking. A lot of space in the park. A lot of waking as well. The animals were amazing. Feeding them was astonishing. I took my daughter there, who is one.
Some rides were out of order. The water park is small. I would say it isn’t for teenagers or order—only one food court. The train takes a long to get to stops and if you go on. A busy day it will be full most of the time.
Other than that, I would go back again. I would love to meet the owner. I got ideas!

Very nice park, the splash area was really fun. My little one had a blast.
Thank you. Recommended.

It’s amazing kids enjoy their day
I would give it a five star. But 3 year's ago, I did phone the town Hall and reported my granddaughter getting her finger pinched almost stuck, from the the one spin toy they have there. Since then two other children have got hurt by the same thing. The last one were vacationers, tourist. And they were really upset and disappointed that the city hadn't done anything to solve the problem. Of course I told them what happened to my grandchild 3 year's Pryor. The children are ment to spin this wheel. But the space in between catches their finger or fingers. Why DO THEY WAIT! FOR A SERIOUS INJURY BEFORE FIXING THE THE PROBLEM. Like SERIOUSLY! PLEASE TO WHOMEVER is in charge , before a child gets seriously injured, fix this problem. Or at some point...Think ya know.
Nice place to visit. Canadian side was better than the American side I have been to. I went on a cloudy rainy day so it wasn’t too touristy. One of the wonders of the world that is a driving distance away!
My son is a great fan of sea animals and this place did not disappoint us. We could get close enough to see all his favorites. We also got to feed the fishes in a small pond, watch dolphins feed and dive, sealions and not the least, the beluga whales. My son would not leave the place until he bought a beluga soft toy at the souvenir store.. Overall a fun, 3 hour tour time inside Marineland.
In summer this park is absolutely gorgeous 🥰 I'm sure winter sliding will be great as well this place is so good, family friendly and full of history.
Out for a walk and somehow ended on the property. Very nice historical building.
Kids enjoyed the train ride and all other rides very much , no long lines to wait. All Staff is very nice and welcoming. Sea lion 🦭 show was also entertaining.
Queen Victoria Park in Niagara Falls Town is a truly enchanting destination. Nestled along the shores of the majestic Niagara River, this park offers breathtaking views of the world-famous Niagara Falls. The park is beautifully landscaped, featuring vibrant flower beds, manicured lawns, and winding paths that invite visitors to explore at their leisure.
Always a ton of fun. A splash pad, swings including a pilot seat swing, a smaller playground for toddlers, a mid sized one for "5-12" and an adult exercise section as well to get in a decent workout. Shaded picnic benches to eat, washrooms, decent parking. I also saw a gorgeous blue jay! There isn't really anything to complain about!
My Son, his fiance, others, the kids and I all meet there. The kids really enjoy the water works area. There is a pool there as well that will be opening soon. Its a great place to meet and celebrate birthdays or just have fun with the kids. They enjoy the playground as well.
Second time here just for the splash pad. Well kept and organized area for kids and parents. The playground and picnic area are also commendable. Parking is ample and fun is unlimited. Definitely recommended in the area or visiting.
Very nice place, flowers are beautiful and you get a nice view from there.
My kids have been playing games for 4 hours
It's aight, could be a bit cleaner.
Beautiful place for kids and adults a nice area to relaxation and enjoy with your friends or either by yourself. And clean And also nice for walking with your dog or was your friend's guys must visitatespecially O play pokemon they will enjoy there.🥰
Visited during the niagara falls winter festival of lights. The niagara parkway was beautiful. Lots of amazing Christmas light displays up and along the parks. Even the falls were lit up beautifully and fireworks were awesome at 8pm.
I love going for picnics here.
Quick hike. But beautiful hike. Foliage galore.
Nice facilty, bring a chair and enjoy the hillside viewing.
Niagara Falls was like in my dreams… If you visit August-October , you could see fireworks show at night🌟💫
Nice spot to have a rest after walking up the hill
Great park. Maintained very clean.
DO NOT PARK ON THE GRASS, no matter how many other tourists have done the same. We parked next to several other cars on the grass, paid for 2 hours of parking at the meter ($10) and came back to a $30 parking ticket. There are no signs indicating you can't park on the grass. None of the officers on bikes were directing us otherwise. I feel like they take advantage of tourists' ignorance with this.
Great for little kids the playground and splashpad. Bathrooms and change rooms are clean. soccer field. Tennis court. Small outdoor pool as well.
Stupidest system ever! Buy your tickets online to save nothing. Can't use the digital ticket for any of the attractions so you get to come line up for us to give you a physical ticket.
This overrated place is way too crowded. Took us 4 hours just to get the parking pass and tickets. Bus was half hour late. Missed most of the activities were paid in advance (online).
Loved our time there sunday with my family. It was quiet and exactly what we needed to be together, play some soccer and sit on our camping chairs to chat.
Visited almost 200 year old inn at this site, the highest point in Niagara Falls. Big part of canadian history and war of 1812. Great tour of Fralich Inn by our host Quinn, and a must stop for all canadians to understand the countries challenges half a century before confederation!
If you are taking a walk back from the falls to the train or bus it's the place you can relax till you get the transport. Not a big one but still a nice one with benches and water splash pads.
Niagara Falls is our favourite place to go as a family in Ontario! So much fun! So much to do! Absolutely beautiful place.
The write-up in the paper said the Festival of Lights would change from a Christmas theme in December to a Winter theme until Feb. 21. It did not say the Winter theme would be a drastically scaled down version of the former. Also there is no place to stop and take photos without impatient drivers behind you.
Amazing place, so beautiful views <3
All decked out for Christmas. Beautiful at night with a lot of crowds. Definitely worth checking out. Great entertainment for the kids or date night. The lights stayed on until 7:30am, so if you don't want to deal with the crowds, make it an early morning visit.
Also a great way to see the lights without the crowds is taking a taxi or Uber, so you can check out the lights without the cold or getting wet.

Very beautiful lookout point. Trail is easy to walk. Good to walk your dog.
Lots of shade and nice little splash pad. Washrooms right there so convenient. Could use an upgrade to a newer park and splash pad but still one of the good ones
Toddlers and preschoolers love the simple splash pad and climbing on the big rocks. Many cyclists stop to "chill". Good for a quick break. Not much green space for a picnic but overall clean and quiet for a downtown park.
This is a very nice park! There's a nice big pool, a splash pad, a large soccer field and lots of room to picnic!
Great park! For sports or just to take a walk and relax!!!! Nice park benches throughout!!!!
Cute park in a residential area .
Perfect size for small kids. Lovely little splash pad. Very clean. Lots of places for parents to sit
Slid down the hill in the snow, can't go wrong.
Has a path to walk or ride bike and or rollerblade. There is a pool and a small splash area with a park there too. It also homes a soccer club. Nice park it is.
A small park, a good place to take young children sledding.
Well kept place, son loves exploring here
What a great place to enjoy the environment. However the sound of the helicopter is so disturbing.
The park itself is very nice and decently maintained. This is a children's playground, but people with dogs and no kids seem to be taking up all the tables and using the splash pad as a place to cool off their pets. Also the same people think they can just smoke anywhere. Maybe the city should have more bylaw officers doing rounds and ticketing people for smoking where children are playing.
So ignorant.
So ignorant.
The ground is soft. My kids love it. Not crowded.
Amazing place to see and the park is super nice. Parking is way over priced at 38$ and I find it a little bit shameful.
Normally a very touristic spot parking is around 15~20$ here they really milk the cow..... but other then that if you’re in the area it’s worth a stop if you wanna pay that much to park.

Great park to have an outdoor workout
One of the best views where you can take a video of the Niagara Falls
Just 15 minute hike each way down to the whirlpool. Love the hike and beach, never crowded and so scenic
An amazing place to spend a few hours. I come here often, the hike is a great way to get away from the busy tourist city. Summers you have much more foot traffic due to tourists, but the neighbouring seasons are quiet.
Hate that the city decided to put up parking meters everywhere so now it’s paid parking when you come down here - however if you’re a local, and you will be back multiple times, but the yearly parking pass, it’s well worth it.

One of the coolest.places I have ever hiked too in my life. Very quick hike to the bottom. To find the path, you can park across from the whirlpool restaurant, or the small parking lot south of that but this is usually filled up. From your parking spot, you want to head south on the walk/bike trail. You will pass the upper whirlpool trail until you come to a bike rack and a sign for the whirlpool. The path down is marked with a purple and white swirl symbol on the trees. It is about 189 steps down and then a small hike to the pebble beach. From there you can circle the whirlpool at you leisure. The walk up is not for the faint of heart!!
What a lovely park. I wanted to find somewhere close to our hotel to take my 7 year old to play. This park is in great condition with lots of fun slides and swings and things to climb on. There’s even a splash pad there. We love this park. Also has a public bathroom!
It's nice out at night time. At this time of year there aren't a lot of people out there at night so it's a good place to just lay on the grass and look up at the stars. Even though I'm an adult I still love to play on the swings. What I did notice the most is that they upgraded a lot since I was there last. The playground is bigger and in my opinion is a lot safer as well. They also have a children's splash pad and there's also a public swimming pool and also a basketball court.
A Must visit for any history buff, so much history all within a very short distance of each other. They have fone a great job preserving the battlefield!
It was very well marked and very informative. Well maintained and a beautiful place for families to visit.
Very historically site. It has a whole new level of views, history, gardens and great people
We love bringing the kids to this park. We walk the trail and will wander down on river road. It's well kept and clean. Never had any issues. Our kids enjoy it very much.
It's a trail, path is cemented over so it's like a side walk goes from downtown Niagara Falls by City Hall and almost reaches Clifton Hill. It is not maintained in the winter and part of the trail can be very dark at times, I've seen people in the dark drinking, found a guy passed out on the grass and sometimes there's sketchy people, if going at night best to not go alone, day time it's fine there plenty people walking about. The park is nice they have a splash pad and just installed a new bicycle fixing station which is neat I've never anything like it.
Nice Little park to take you kids too,has a small playground and a far bit of open area for kit flying.
Good to visit especially for history enthusiasts.
The park itself is nice. There is even a splash pad and pool there. Unfortunately, each time I have gone with my kids, there was broken glass in the playground/splash pad area(s). The park is quite clean, so it's probably drunk teenagers ruining it for the kids.
Great place to spend with family. It can get expensive in Niagara Falls but you can have a lot of fun just touring the area on foot, car or public transit.
I love this park I grew up one block away
And spent every season of the year playing here.
