    Wonderful garden maintained very well with amazing flowers and exceptional views facing Naiara Falls in Ontario 🇨🇦. You can cross the USA border by walking of course if you have a legal status or required visa . Because Canadian love ❤️ USA 🇺🇸 people no visa required if you have a valid Canadian passport. You must visit it if you are in Niagara area…

    We walked by this garden everyday during our stay in the area and we enjoyed our leisurely stroll. It’s a little gem hidden in a very busy Niagara Falls tourist area.

    This is a beautiful place to walk through, sit and rest and admire. There is a lot of green space, benches, natural plants, flowers, and fountains. It would be a great place to also have a picnic for the day. There are pebble walk ways and also stairs throughout, so there may be challenges for some people with mobility issues, but there are also ramps in portions of the space.

    It is a beautiful garden with a wonderful view of Niagara Falls. You can watch fireworks at the Falls at night from this beautiful garden. Various colorful flowers, but it's very noisy because of the traffic and crowds.

    Attended the Candlelight performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and more. It was delightful (pun intended)! OGT is sufficiently offset from the roadways and as such, traffic noise was minimal and did not interfere with the music. At the end of the performance, added bonus! The fireworks over the falls! Would definitely recommend this experience and would attend the venue again.

    It’s very nice beautiful park with beautiful flowers. I didn’t know about this place and last time when we’re crossing the street just saw and it is a good place to take pictures

    Absolutely beautiful. If you're visiting the Niagara Falls Clifton Hill area, this makes for a great break from the chaos and lights.

    Beautiful quiet small place right in the middle of the noisy district. This garden is right across the street from the Sheraton. A great wedding photos or any other especial occasion location.

    Great idea to have this concert in the Oakes Garden Theater. The view, the atmosphere, the performance - everything was perfect. Lots of good sitting spots too. Bravo!

    Beautifully orchestrated! 9000 candles nice design. Musicians outstanding!!!! And beautiful outdoor theatre overlooking the Niagara Falls view! WOW! Well done!!!

  • 5/5 Sara Beth W. 6 months ago on Google
    This truly feels like a secret place, right in the middle of all the tourist trappiness around you. There's the theatre area and stages, and some very european-looking square trees and benches along allees that look amazing. And behind all that is a sweet, small garden with a little pond and bridge and a gravel path. It's not the best view for the falls, but it is a great place to sit and rest and not be in the middle of the crowds.

    Beautiful even though it was raining.

    One of the best Candlelight Concert 🎶 HansZimmer Orchestral Live music 🎼. It was soul soothing and divine. I would love to attend more concerts like this. @candlelight.concerts #hanszimmer

    Really stunning! Beautiful spot to take a seat/rest and enjoy the flowers. The gardens that link the front lawn to the hotel were run down when we visited, but it was early June and we could see the gardeners getting to work. I would imagine it is just loads better later in the season.

    It’s an open theatre right opposite to Niagara Falls view. It has very less shady place to sit and enjoy the event. During summer time definitely need some umbrellas or tent to sit and enjoy the event happening there

  • 5/5 Michael Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Looks like it is mot popular to tourists. It is cozy place to look over the two falls from here. Not a good view as you see beside fall fence though. However, i would recommend this place to someone who enjoys cozy or quite place sitting down in benches and look over an unobstructed view.

    Its a beautiful garden with great views of the falls. it was steps away from our hotel I have been here in winter as well and it still looks beautiful at that time of the year. its a great spot to view the fireworks from at night also the falls light show.
