CAN'T WAIT TO SMELL THE FLOWERS...THEN DON’T

Niagara is in bloom all year round. That’s right. All you have to do is plan a visit to the Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory along the lower Niagara Parkway where the temperature is always in the eighties and you’ll be surrounded by a lush tropical oasis under glass. The free-flying butterflies complete the atmosphere. When I go there, which is often, I wear bright coloured clothing. Butterflies can actually see colours and they are attracted to bright colours. Chances are they’ll land on you. Adults are $11.50, children 6-12 years are $6.80 and under five are free.
Here’s another tropical destination… Bird Kingdom near the Canadian end of the Rainbow Bridge on River Road has over 400 free-flying birds. I especially like to hear the sounds these birds make. Prices vary. When I visit either of these Niagara attractions I try and go when the sun is out. They’re much like us, and more active when the sun shines!
If you still need a lift, go to the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse just south of the falls. Admission is free. The Spring show continues until Easter. For two to three weekends around Easter the greenhouse features Easter Lilies and forced spring bulbs.

Heather, If the weather is anything like last year in April we should have spring flowers popping through the ground,especially in Queen Victoria Park near the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. It's been a long time since I've had a nine-month old but I'd stay away from any of the noisy attractions(These best for the older folks) All of you will enjoy strolling near the falls in the gardens,The Butterfly Conservatory and any of the many indoor water parks in the area. Hope this helps
