Shaw Theatre, Niagara on the Lake. Named after playwright George Bernard Shaw, this theater festival runs from April to November and features plays by Shaw, playwrights who lived during Shaw's lifetime, or plays about his era (1856-1950). Three main theaters comprise the festival venues, and all are located within walking distance of downtown.
Horseshoe Falls and American Falls, Niagara Falls. Most visitors' first view of the Falls, from the Canadian side of the river, is at Queen Victoria Park, along the Niagara Falls Parkway. Some other ways to enjoy viewing the falls are:
Maid of the Mist, 5920 Niagara Parkway (near foot of Clifton Hill), . A boat that takes tourists to the foot of the falls, where they can better appreciate their thunder and spray. Runs April-October.
Journey Behind the Falls, 6650 Niagara Parkway (Table Rock Center), . Open year-round except December 25.
White Water Walk, 4330 Niagara Parkway, . A 1,000 foot (305 m) boardwalk beside the rapids. Open seasonally.
CN Tower, Toronto. The tallest free standing structure in North America. You can ride a glass elevator to the top where the view is incredible and there is a glass floor. There is also a revolving restaurant which offers spectacular views as the sun sets over the city.
