There is a monument in the 300-acre park to commemorate the 1814 Battle of Chippawa.
The Battle of Chippawa was a War of 1812 battle fought on July 5, 1814, in which the United States Army defeated British forces during the American invasion of Upper Canada along the Niagara River. This battle and the subsequent Battle of Lundy's Lane demonstrated that trained American troops could hold their own against British regulars. The battlefield is preserved as a National Historic Site of Canada.

Dufferin Islands is a 10-acre park with several small islands connected by small bridges and footpaths. The park is a naturalized area with indigenous vegetation, fish, bird feeding stations and bird boxes.

A former power station, the 2,200 foot-long water tunnel located nearly 200 feet below the surface opens up to a new view of the Niagara Falls at the water level. Inside the former power plant, there are exhibits, artifacts, history and science of this hydroelectric power plant.
This is an interesting attraction to consider in lieu of Hornblower Niagara Cruises (or when Hornblower Niagara Cruises isn't operating). Although popular, the lines aren't nearly as long for "Journey" as they are for Hornblower Niagara Cruises, and therefore may be a better option on crowded days, or for those travelling with small children. Ponchos are provided, as the Journey still offers participants the chance to feel the "spray" of the Falls, from portholes opening behind the Falls, as well as access to a small open area on the bank of the river, no more than 200 feet from the base of the falls. An informative guided tour that still provides some of the thrills of the other attractions. Open year-round except 25 December. Whilst this attraction remains open during winter, often some of the viewing points are inaccessible due to snow build-up.
A 360-degree audio/visual theatre with a 45-minute presentation about Niagara Falls.
This funicular offers a view of the falls on its slow 60 metre descent. It also offers a showcut for pedestrians between the Fallsview area and Table Rock. There are 1-way, round-trip and day tickets.
