If you’re in the Niagara area and want to see something completely different, this is what you are looking for! The Floral Clock in Niagara is a unique clock, in that its face is entirely floral!
The Floral Clock is 40 feet wide, with a planted area 38 feet wide, making it one of the largest such clocks in the world. Each year, the face of the clock is filled with 15,000 to 20,000 carpet plants and colourful annuals, planted in unique, intricate designs. Since 1977 The Niagara Parks Commission Horticulture Department (now Parks Department) have been responsible for designing and planting the face of the Clock and a site maintenance worker regularly checks the official time to ensure the Clock’s accuracy.

This amazing city is the pride of the tourism industry in Niagara. Walking through this city could bring you close to the feeling of being in Las Vegas, or exploring a small path in the woods. This city has so much to offer in what is often so little time.
Food in Niagara falls comes by the truck load, containing some sort of snack bar, bar or restraunt on almost every corner in the city. The same goes for places to stay.
