Museum sights in Niagara Falls

  1. A

    Daredevil Gallery

    The most engaging thing around here is the Daredevil Gallery attached to IMAX Niagara. Scratch your head in amazement at the battered collection of barrels and padded bubbles in which people have ridden over the falls (not all of them successfully). There’s also a history of falls ‘funambulism’ (tightrope walking) here.

    Laura Secord Homestead

    The demure Laura Secord Homestead celebrates a Canadian heroine who lived here during the War of 1812. She’s famous for booting it nearly 30km to warn the British soldiers of impending attack by the USA – even though she was a US citizen. The rose garden out front was planted by Laura herself.
