-
St. Catharines - You are now driving through St. Catharines, the largest city in the Niagara Region. Known as the Garden City, it boasts over a thousand acres of parks and gardens.
-
Hamilton - You are beginning to pass through Hamilton, Ontario. When safe, merge to the left or middle lane and follow the ‘Niagara’ sign. You will curve left towards the Hamilton Bay Bridge, offering a bird’s eye view of the city.
-
Fort Rouille - You are passing Exhibition Place on the driver’s side. This is where the earliest European structure in the region was located. In 1750, French explorers built a small fort here named Fort Rouille. Today, a monument marks the spot of the old fort.
-
Skylon Tower - I will inform you where to turn shortly. As you continue down McLeod, let’s learn about another iconic Niagara Falls attraction, the Skylon Tower. Standing 570 feet or about 160 meters high, it offers a stunning view of Niagara. On clear days, you can also see Toronto and Buffalo, NY.
-
Marineland - Established in 1961, the park has evolved through various phases using animals for entertainment. It seems they are now focusing more on thrill rides. If anyone in the car is interested in spending a few hours at an amusement park, consider visiting. I am eager to explore the power plant tour.
-
Clifton Hill - To experience the modern side of Niagara’s historic carnival atmosphere, move into the left lane to turn onto Clifton Hill. I will guide you on a quick orientation loop back to the parkway.
-
Rainbow Bridge - Soon, you will pass under the Rainbow Bridge, which leads to Niagara Falls, USA. This structure was built after ice in the river destroyed its predecessor, the Honeymoon Bridge, in 1938.
-
Niagara-on-the-Lake - You are near what many consider the prettiest town in Ontario. Interestingly, this charming town of fewer than 20,000 people was the first capital of Upper Canada, as the entire region was known in 1792.
-
Queenston Heights Park - The escarpment meets a gentle plain sloping towards Lake Ontario. Over the next 12 kilometers, you will descend from 176 meters above sea level at the Brock Monument to the shoreline at 75 meters above sea level. The lake, plain, and escarpment create an ideal micro-climate for growing grapes and various fruits.
-
Floral Clock - This park features the world’s largest floral clock, showcasing the creativity of Canadians in this part of Ontario, who will construct almost anything from flowers and shrubs. The flower pattern forming the clock’s face is redesigned and changed twice a year.
