Discover Spring Magic at Magnolia Alley in Niagara Falls

Magnolia Alley in Niagara Falls is one of the most beautiful places I love to visit every spring. This gorgeous walkway is nestled between magnolia trees and it’s like you’ve walked into a fairy tale when they’re in bloom!

Magnolia Alley (also referred to as Magnolia Allée) is located outside the Floral Showhouse, just beyond the Horseshoe Falls and past the Niagara Parks Power Station. It’s one of the most popular spots for photos during spring, and really, it’s not hard to see why!

With over 50 magnolia trees, the picture-perfect pink, white, and purple hued petals are a show-stopping beauty that can be seen for free.

If you’re looking for things to do in Niagara Falls during spring time, be sure to make a stop at the Floral Showhouse. The flowers open before the leaves of the magnolia trees do and there’s a sweet floral scent which fills the air, making the experience all the more captivating.

When to visit Magnolia Alley

It’s best to visit Magnolia Alley in mid-late April, and even the beginning of May. It’s all dependent on the weather.

But fortunately there is a two-week bloom period, so there’s a good chance you’ll see them if you plan to visit Niagara Falls late April.

Making the most of your visit

If you want unobstructed views of Magnolia Alley, be sure to visit first thing in the morning before the crowds get there.

When I say it’s popular, I mean it’s really popular. You’ll see all kinds of families and photographers there getting their photos taken.

After you stroll through Magnolia Allée, I recommend walking the rest of the grounds at the Floral Showhouse, where you’ll see tulips and daffodils too.

I also think it’s worth it to go inside the Floral Showhouse to see the gorgeous floral displays. You’ll also have access to the gardens there which have some cute miniature buildings.

There is a parking lot located at the Floral Showhouse you can park at for $8/hour (or included in your Niagara Parks annual parking pass), or you can walk from Table Rock/Horseshoe Falls.

If you have a car and want to see more gorgeous spring blooms, head down to Kingsbridge Park, just down the Niagara Parkway for one of the best spots to see cherry blossoms in Niagara!
