May in Ontario marks the return of one of the province’s most cherished cultural experiences: Doors Open Ontario. Organized by the Ontario Heritage Trust, this initiative allows residents and visitors to explore some of the region’s most fascinating buildings, heritage sites, and cultural landmarks—many of which are not usually open to the public. Throughout the month of May, towns and cities across Ontario host their own versions of Doors Open, each showcasing unique local treasures.

When it comes to day trips in May, few destinations in Ontario are as charming and activity-packed as Niagara-on-the-Lake.

May is the start of peak garden season in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Visitors can enjoy the region's many floral displays, including the gardens along Queen Street and near the waterfront.
