About this experience
Check dates & pricesHighlights
Walk through a curated section of Niagara's Winter Festival of Lights.
Photograph colourful displays and the Falls after dark.
Hear local stories while your guide leads the route.
Add Skylon Tower admission for an elevated view of the Falls.
See Niagara Falls in its winter evening colours, with bright displays along the parkway and the sound of the waterfalls just beyond the lights. This guided walk explores a selected stretch of the Winter Festival of Lights on the Canadian side, bringing together festive photo stops, views of the illuminated Falls and stories about the place behind the spectacle.
Follow your guide through the Queen Victoria Park area, pausing to enjoy the displays and frame photographs without having to plan your own route. Look across the river toward the American Falls and take in views of the Horseshoe Falls as the evening illumination changes their appearance. The walk focuses on a manageable section of the festival; it does not cover the entire festival route.
Choose Walking Tour Only for the guided experience. Add Skylon Tower admission to see the Falls and surrounding city from its observation decks.
Skylon Tower admission is included only with the corresponding package. The tower visit takes place outside the 90-minute guided walk and adds time to your experience. The festival itself is free to visit; your ticket covers the guided tour and any attraction admission you select.
