Niagara Parkway

Recommended by NADINE FONTAINE

The Niagara Parkway, formerly known as Niagara Boulevard and historically as the Niagara Road, is a scenic drive running parallel to the Niagara River 55 km from Fort Erie in the south, to Niagara-on-the-Lake in the north. The parkway is one of the oldest in Ontario. Construction of the Niagara Parkway began in 1908 and was completed in 1931.

When British Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill visited Niagara Falls in 1943 and he is quoted as saying

the Niagara Parkway is the “prettiest Sunday afternoon drive in the world.”

King George VI Statue

King George VI, Queen Elizabeth’s father’s visit to Niagara, is commemorated very nicely by this statue. It shows him in full regalia and is very impressive. It was a good, quick stop to have a look while we were driving on the Niagara Parkway.

Rainbow Bridge

The Niagara Falls International Rainbow Bridge, commonly known as the Rainbow Bridge, is an arch bridge across the Niagara River gorge. It connects the cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, and Niagara Falls, New York, United States.

In November 1941, the official opening of the Rainbow Bridge took place. It was built near the site of the earlier Honeymoon Bridge, which collapsed in 1938 due to an ice jam in the river.

Whirlpool Aero Car

Designed by a renowned Spanish engineer, Leonardo Torres Quevedo, the Whirlpool Aero Car has been soaring the Niagara Gorge since 1916. The antique cable car is suspended from six sturdy cables and offers spectacular views of the swirling Niagara Whirlpool and the Class 6 whitewater rapids of the Niagara River.

Although the Whirlpool Aero Car travels between two points on the Canadian shore, riders of this historic cable car actually cross the international borderline between Canada and the United States a total of four times each trip due to the way the river elbows.
