Enjoy a magical pre-Christmas getaway.
Take a break from the planning and busy preparations at home, and experience the magic of the holidays. For some, going to the theatre is a lovely holiday tradition. See Lerner and Loewe’s “Brigadoon,” a romantic and magical musical. "A Christmas Carol" is a traditional favourite, and this charming version is sure to turn feelings of “Bah, Humbug!” into warm and fuzzy Christmas spirit.
Holiday happiness is also in-store with the simple pleasure of a drive at night to see the lights. Niagara Falls will be aglow with oversized displays of enchanting scenes and Canadian wildlife using millions of lights. The Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse is also a coming together of multi-coloured lights and hundreds of beautiful Christmas plants in holiday-themed displays. Feel the satisfaction of finding the remaining gifts on your list at the Niagara Outlet Collection shops. When you return home, refreshed and rejuvenated, you’ll be ready for the real warmth and magic of the season.
