How to Beat the Heat This Summer in Niagara

image001While Niagara Falls enjoys much more temperate summers than our neighbors to the south tend to, that doesn’t mean the heat can’t sometimes still be stifling. Temperatures often reach over 80 degrees Fahrenheit at the height of summer, and every now and then, they can hit 90, which means figuring out how to manage the heat — or avoid it — just might be a necessary part of enjoying Niagara Falls. For anyone looking to enjoy a summer trip to Niagara, here are three easy and fun ways to beat the heat.

Fallsview Indoor Water Park

For an option that will beat the heat and keep you in high spirits if it happens to rain, there are few opportunities as perfect as Fallsview Indoor Water Park. With 125,000 square feet of water-based fun, the water park is one of the best places to indulge in watery thrills in all of North America. There’s a gigantic 1,000 gallon tipping bucket, a full-sized wave pool, eight different waterslides — some of which get as high as six stories and can be accessed by rope ladders, two adults-only Jacuzzis for weary parents who need a break, an outdoor play pool that has basketball goals, a year-round sunning deck, and a children’s play area called the Tiny Tots Splash Park. When it’s too hot to brave the day dry, get wet at Fallsview Indoor Water Park.

The Maid of the Mist

image003One of the most iconic attractions in the Niagara area, the captains of the Maid of the Mist have been taking visitors to the base of the Falls for well over 100 years — even Marilyn Monroe took a ride when she was in town shooting the film “Niagara.” A perfect way to experience the power of Niagara Falls, the Maid of the Mist will get you up close and personal, so you can hear the thundering roar and feel the deliciously cooling spray of the water it crashes before you. You’re guaranteed to get wet on this ride, which, on a hot day, is absolutely perfect.

Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks

When the heat has to be escaped, but you aren’t in the mood to get wet, make your way to Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks. This incredibly fun, odd attraction has over 100 wax figures spread throughout 16 themed galleries, and because those wax figures need to be kept cool, you’ll never break a sweat in Louis Tussaud’s. See the cast of “Harry Potter,” and take your photo with your favorite comic book heroes and villains. From Oprah and Arnold Schwarzenegger to John Lennon and former president, Bill Clinton, the wax museum has movie stars, music legends, celebrities, and historical figures that are so life-like you’ll be able to pass your photos off as authentic, and you can do it all safe from any sweltering heat that’s waiting outside.

So, take a summer vacation to Niagara Falls. Even in the event of unseasonably warm weather, the area has more than its share of fun attractions to help ensure you and everyone with you easily beat the heat.

Summer Exhibits You Won’t Want to Miss

image001When most people think of Niagara Falls, it’s the sights and sounds of its waterfalls that come most readily to mind, but to anyone who’s been on vacation to the region knows, Niagara has a lot more to offer than just one of the world’s most beautiful sights.

Fabulous shows, excellent restaurants, stunning fireworks displays, and vineyards galore are just some of what you can find in one of North America’s most popular playgrounds, and even that more extensive list is just the tip of the iceberg. From art to history, here are some stellar summer exhibits that will more than round out a great vacation for anyone taking a trip to Niagara.

“Sharing an Icon”

Ever since Niagara Falls was “discovered,” it’s been something people wanted to share with others. The temporary exhibit, “Sharing an Icon,” has been installed at the Niagara Falls History Museum as a way to explore the history of documentation and images — from letters and rare and early photographs to today’s ubiquitous social media posts — people from all over the world have made and shared for hundreds of years. The exhibit is up now through September 6. Tickets are just $5.00 for adults and $4.00 for students.

“Art by the Lighthouse 2015”

The Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre is an organization within the Niagara region that works hard to promote art to visitors and locals, and one of the ways they accomplish this goal is through their annual show and sale of original art. Located on the beautiful grounds and in their one-of-a-kind building and arts space, the Art by the Lighthouse 2015 exhibit and sale features work by Niagara artists that ranges from sculpture and paintings to glasswork and jewelry. The exhibits and sale take place over the first weekend in August from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Getting in to the show is free, regardless of whether or not you buy anything. It’s a great opportunity to see some of the region’s artists’ best work.

“Impersonating 1812”

image003A real-life exhibit that involves fun audience participation, “Impersonating 1812” takes place on one, fun evening at the Niagara Falls History Museum, Thursday, August 27 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Bring the family for a chance to interact with actors portraying characters from the year 1812. There will be a period fashion show, a chance to join the Mini Militia, and everyone will be taught a dance common to the time, as well.

“Bodies Revealed”

Located across from the Fallsview Casino, Bodies Revealed is a one-of-a-kind exhibition that showcases real, human bodies in an educational and intimate setting. Utilizing a unique preservation technique, this exhibit lets visitors experience the human body in a way that allows for deep insight into the skeletal, nervous, digestive, reproductive, muscular, and respiratory systems, as well as an in-depth look at various diseases and health issues. Over 200 bodies are tastefully and respectfully displayed for an awe-inspiring experience unlike any other.

Come to Niagara this summer, and be sure to check out these four exhibits that will expand your knowledge of Niagara and the world around and inside of you.

Animals You Didn’t Know You Could See in Niagara Falls

image001When people plan a trip to Niagara Falls, it’s easy for them to imagine what lies in store. After all, the Falls are among the most iconic and photographed natural wonders in the entire world, and the celebrated wine country is every bit as idyllic as any in France, Italy, or Napa.

That being said, there are plenty of sights in the Niagara region that could easily take a visitor by surprise — the Wheel of Fate, for instance — but some of the most satisfying surprises are the animals you can run across. Here are a couple of animals that you probably didn’t know you could see while vacationing with family in Niagara Falls.

Argentine Black and White Tegu

What in the world’s a tegu? A tegu is a lizard native to Central and South America that’s known for being really large and, when threatened, pretty predatory. Omnivorous and possessing unusually high intelligence, some have been known to seek out affection from humans the way dogs and cats do. They can also be taught tricks and house-trained. Adult tegus can get as long as four and a half feet and weigh up to 15 pounds. While you’re in Niagara, you can see an Argentine Black and White Tegu as well as hundreds of other species of birds and animals at Bird Kingdom, which also has the world’s largest indoor free-flying aviary.

The Giraffe

One of the most readily identified creatures in all the world, the giraffe is an African animal well-known for its remarkable height that comes primarily from its unusually long neck and long legs. Vegetarians, giraffes have to be on constant alert against predators like lions, leopards, and wild dogs. Fully mature giraffes can stand as high as 20 feet and weigh more than 4,200 pounds. They can run as fast as 37 miles per hour, and when they’re being chased, they can sustain a pace of over 30 miles per hour for a few miles. One of the oddest looking creatures on the planet, when you come to Niagara Falls you can see giraffes at Safari Niagara, a nature park and conservation area that boasts an impressive collection of exotic animals.

Come to Niagara Falls and see creatures from thousands of miles away. Hundreds of species of birds, reptiles, and mammals can be marveled over at Safari Niagara and Bird Kingdom.
