Take the elevator up to the Observation Deck, and take in the 360 degree view for miles in every direction. You will get a view of Niagara Falls, the Niagara River, and even the Toronto Skyline and Buffalo on the American side.


#4 Queen Victoria Park

Probably the best place of all to witness the fireworks is at Queen Victoria Park. The park is spacious, and you are welcome to bring your lawnchairs and sit back and relax. During the Winter Festival of Lights, the scene is extra pretty with trees decked out in festive lights, and the historic Zimmerman Fountain in dazzling lights. It’s a magical Christmas-time view.


#5 Rainbow Bridge

You’ll get a phenomenal view of the fireworks from this standpoint on the Rainbow Bridge. Absolutely no obstructions will be in the picture looking out over the Niagara River between the Canadian and US border. Make sure you have .50 cents to cross from the Canadian to American side. There is a coin machine next to the turnstile to make change. You do not show your passport/visa until you arrive on the American side from Canada.


#6 Niagara SkyWheel

The Niagara SkyWheel soars 175 feet above the peak of Clifton Hill, allowing an even higher perspective to look out over the Niagara Falls. This gives you an incredible view of the fireworks show as you rotate. You will need to time yourself to be on the ride when the fireworks occur, so we recommend that you buy tickets and get in line approximately 20 minutes to a half hour before the show begins.

Set sail for starry skies, expansive views of the skyline, breathtaking illuminations, and, of course, sky-filling fireworks.
