A number of people choose to take their vacations in winter, when the holiday season arrives, visiting family and simply enjoying the winterscapes of beautiful areas of the world. One of the most interesting places to spend some vacation time is at the Festival of Colour at the Niagara Parks Greenhouse in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Visitors to hotels in Niagara Falls at this time of year will be privileged to a display of red, white and pink in the greenhouse, which hosts an event every season, this one featuring the poinsettias that are so symbolic of the holiday season. You'll also find such floral displays a paperwhite narcissus, azaleas, cyclamen, and Christmas cactus, all arranged festively for the event. You can also trek through nature, where you'll be amidst over 70 tropical birds that make their home here and may feel elated enough to sing to you.
The Festival of Colour at the Niagara Parks Greenhouse is free to all and is open every day to locals as well as guests of Niagara Falls hotels, typically from 9:30 to 5:00. Open since 1946 and filling an additional 11,000 square feet of reception center and display house that have been added out of necessity in the last 20 years, the festival has become a major event for all and welcomes visitors from around the world. The greenhouse is located about half a mile south of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls on Niagara River Parkway, making it easy to find and attend for those spending a vacation in the Niagara falls area.
