While most people plan Niagara Falls tours in order to enjoy the majestic scenery and radiance of the Falls themselves, lesser-known wonders exist at this destination that make this even more appealing. One of the most surprising and often overlooked aspects of Niagara Falls bus tours is the tremendous outdoor activities that can keep everyone entertained when you’re not enjoying the roar of the Falls or the IMAX movies that are featured there. What makes this trip even more amazing is that these outdoor activities are free!

Located just 10 minutes north of the Falls are the Niagara Parks’ Botanical Gardens, full of exquisite gardens, featuring 99 acres of lush greenery to take in. In addition, this location has over 2,400 roses in its renowned Rose Garden as well as the Butterfly Conservatory, where visitors can see more than 2,000 butterflies roaming freely throughout this conservatory.

Of course, nothing compares to the free attraction that are the Falls themselves – and there’s more. In addition to the nightly fireworks show that takes place every Friday, Sunday and holiday at 10 pm, every Wednesday in July in August will also feature a fireworks spectacular that make a Niagara Falls tour even more enticing.

Make sure to book your Niagara Falls tour package in advance and take advantage of some of the finer things that this beautiful landmark has to offer all for free. And while you’re at it, take lots of pictures and earn some Rewards points by posting your picture when you return with Tours4Fun!
