This unique attraction is a very popular stop on the Niagara Parkway and is photographed almost as often as the Falls! The planted face is maintained by Niagara Parks horticulture staff, while the mechanism is kept in working order by Ontario Hydro, the organization that originally built the clock. The intricate designs on the face of the timepiece are created with up to 16,000 carpet bedding plants. The floral design is changed twice each year - it features viola in the Spring and four cultivars of Alternanthera along with green and grey forms of Santolina Sage during the Summer and Fall. California Golden Privet and Blue Festuca Grass may be used for contrast. The grounds surrounding the clock feature bedding displays and a Tower at the back of the clock houses Westminster chimes that greet each quarter hour. If the door into the Tower is open, you can take a glimpse at the clock mechanism and enjoy photographs that show the history of every face design all the way back to 1950.  

Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Museum

Plenty of photo-ops are also scattered around the museum from an 18^th Century Spanish Public Humiliation Stock to the world’s tallest man’s Chippendale Chair. Kids of all ages love to engage themselves in Ripley’s Wacky Explorative Room where they are challenged with various curiosities and interactive displays such as the very popular shadow wall.

The museum offers any where from an hour to a days worth of first class entertainment making it a must visit for all visitors to the Niagara Region. After you exit, Ripley’s continues to impress visitors with its Wax Zone where guests are invited to dip their hands in wax to create the perfect personalized souvenir of their visit to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Niagara Falls.
