Fun tour with informative tour guide. It's definitely worth checking out if interested in the history of the man made cave. Wish there was better light in some locations of cave as I tripped over a metal chain. Other than that my little family had a fun experience!

I enjoyed this tour. It's not a natural cave but rather a penstock tunnel. Worth seeing, and you get a nice impression of the lock. Great to pair with a cruise on the canal. Tour guy was extremely friendly and nice. Management seemed to have an odd vibe. But highly recommend.

Unique experience well worth the drive from Niagara Falls! Kat was our guide and she was awesome! Great energy and sense of humor along with awesome knowledge of the history and inner workings of the locks and caves. Highly recommend!

We are visiting from MD and saw this Halloween Lantern evening tour, it was alot of fun in spite of the cold, rainy weather. The guide was funny and knowledgeable, and recognized the need to get us out of the rain and cold as soon as she could into the cave, yet still give all of the information she was supposed to. My only wish is that there was just a little more light to actually see the inside of the cave, and cut back on the fog machines because we could barely see enough to walk safely. It was still lots of fun and I appreciated them giving us the option to take the tour scheduled before the one we had tickets for. This is a family friendly tour, but I would like to put out there that there are quite a few steps to climb and alot of walking and needing to keep pace with your group. If you have any health issues, take that into consideration for your own comfort. Also, be sure to tip these guys and gals. Our poor guide was soaked and freezing and still kept going with a sense of humor.

We were the last tour prior to the boat accident. No problems. Kyle was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and paying attention to every detail.

This was an amazing experience. From learning about Lockport's early history to traversing the underground water tunnels. Our guide for the trip was Tony. He made the tour very interactive and injected humor into his repertoire of facts and historical deeds. I highly recommend this tour if you love history or the old lore surrounding the Erie canal. Very well done.

Lots of history to learn and very cool sights to see. Start off walking along the canal to the cave entrance. Into the cave walking and then to the boat ride at the end. With all a lot of stops as the guide tells the history. Kyle was great! Definitely a must go and also can see all the canal locks and history after the tour.

Family and I went to this amazing St.Lawrence Market and it was so many shops inside for whatever you need. It had amazing Food options and so many Meats options also. What are the unique thing is how different culture kind of meat and cheese and fruits that were in this Market. The food was so fresh anywhere you tried to eat because it was made fresh right away. We try the pizza place and it was very delicious. The only reason why I give it a four star is because it would have been nice to see some Halal Options in Market as it had None and we had to find Cheese pizza to eat. Also bathroom could been cleaner! Overall Very Amazing and Unique Market to visit.

If you would love to visit local market as a tourist, this is the place to go! It has nice market atmosphere and I see long queue at many shops in the market by locals. It also cater both raw and ready to eat food. So you can buy beef steak to cook in your homestay or buy ready to eat food. Variety range from meat to seafood to fruits to bread to tarts to desserts and even maple syrup! Beautiful atmosphere and nice yummy food.... A nice brunch place and market!

Had a terrific time spending the day browsing St Lawrence Market. Bought an amazingly creative bouquet of flowers to brighten our hotel room. Had a delicious charcuterie lunch made from purchasing items from various vendors. Dessert was the largest berries we’ve ever seen, sweet, juicy, and delicious! Bought some pork belly to bring home after our trip. Purchased wines, a few souvenirs for our kids, generally had a nice day browsing through the enormous market. For reference I’d say it is about six times the size of Pike Place Market in Seattle.

Pretty much every visitor to Toronto knows this market. It's in a class of its own among public markets. Think about the scale, the vibe, the amazing selection and quality of products. You can even eat and drink while you shop—how great is that? On a nice day (if it's not too cold), the outdoor patio is the place to be. It's spacious, with pigeons wandering around, and another market is just across the street. Picture this: you're eating a lobster roll or pasta, feeding the pigeons, enjoying the scenery, and chatting with friends. What a fantastic scene!

A nice place to visit, lots of options for fancy goods, food particularly seafoods, meats, cheese, backed delicacies, sweets and farm produce. Liked the bright, happy vibe and roaming carefree environment. It was Christmas buying time, it added colourfulness. Good for buying souvenirs too.

Wonderful experience of the oldest market in Canada! There was a booth that has been there since before Canadas birth! The main floor is where fresh food is sold. The lower level has all the international flavours… will visit again. Lively atmosphere… need sitting area in winter. Has a mini-museum in lowest level where the jail used to be.

Possibly the best market in downtown Toronto. Full of fresh and unique items. A really great peameal bacon sandwich. Fresh coffee. Fresh seafood, including sushi and pickled herring. If only it opened earlier

Got a general admission ticket and definitely worth visiting. There are some great Chinese artifacts and statues to view. The staff here is very friendly and will explain certain pieces if you are in the area. This museum has a little bit of everything so you can expect to be there for at least 2 hours if you go through all of general admission. Maybe 3 hours if dinosaurs is open, it was closed when we were there.

Easy to go with the city pass but if you can become a member, there will be many exhibitions that you will also be allowed to go to. You can easily spend 2-3 hrs just walking around. Some cakes, and beverages are also available on the ground floor for a small break. Some sections were really cool. Especially recommend the gems section. Unfortunately, dinosaur’s section was closed until first week of December.

It was an absolutely amazing museum. The exhibits were nicely curated, the artifacts were lovely. The biggest downside was how noisy it was, there was a live performance in the lobby and it took away from the atmosphere that the museum had, I also wish they made it clear as to which area was heavily kid oriented, or else I wouldn’t have spent so much time on the second floor when I could’ve been on the third floor actually seeing the stuff I really wanted to see and learn about. But that being said the areas they have for kids is very well done and the kids there seemed to be having a great time learning. I loved the Greek and Roman section of the museum and paying to see saints, sinners and lovers was very worth it. Absolutely stunning paintings, you could see the brush strokes and the tiny details on the canvases. The ROM was a lot of fun.

We visited the museum on a snowy Sunday afternoon, there was no waiting for the tickets, 35 CAN/adult person. Staff were friendly, ready to explain and direct. The ground floor included marvelous pieces from China and some from Korea. Last floor for the European and Egyptian cultures. We took more than 2 hours, but we could not visit it all. Beautiful experience for a neat museum

My best friend and I arrived here for the free Tuesday night at the rom and where pleasantly surprised by the orderly way I. Which ticket holders entered the museum, it was swift and easy and we were on having fun in no time! The ROM is an immaculately curated space that can actually take a very long time to get through when it comes to viewing exhibits. I was born and raised here in Toronto and I’ve still yet to see all of the ROM in its entirety. This is what makes it worth the price. Every exhibit is thought out and so well put together with care and attention to detail. Every time I am at the rom I learn so many new things about the world and the layout of the rom makes learning to information seamless and easy. Washrooms and water fountains are very easy to find and in abundance so I was never panicked trying to look around for a washroom. The ROM also has new all gendered washrooms which are luxurious and a great addition to this museum. There is great accessibility here and the elevators and seats are always easy to find. I typically avoid the cafes and cafeterias here as they can be quite overpriced but it’s been a long time since I visited the cafe so it could’ve changed… Overall I always enjoy my time at the ROM and recommend you book a ticket weather you are a newcomer or someone familiar to the city, give it a try!

There's a lot going on here. If you are really into museums and want to look at most things then plan to spend four or more hours here. There's dedication to natural history for animals and civilizations. Good assortment of unique pieces. There is a lot of pottery, more than you'd think for sure. The collection of Greek and Roman busts is impressive along with the number of tombs. The dinosaur exhibit wasn't able to be fully seen due to renovations.

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is a spectacular world-class institution that makes for an unforgettable day out in Toronto. Its collection is unbelievably diverse, spanning natural history (hello, incredible dinosaurs and gems!) and world culture (from ancient Egypt to the Ming Dynasty Tombs). The architecture alone is worth the visit, famously blending the grand, historic Neo-Romanesque brickwork with the striking, angular modern glass of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal—it’s a visual feast inside and out. With forty different galleries, you can easily spend a full afternoon (at least 3-4 hours) exploring, learning about everything from the Burgess Shale fossils to African art. The ROM is constantly evolving with fascinating new exhibits and is definitely a must-see landmark for anyone visiting the city.

We absolutely loved our experience! It was so much fun for everyone, and truly perfect for all ages — especially the kids. There were so many activities that kept them entertained and excited the entire time. Everything was well organized, clean, and safe, which made it easy for us to just relax and enjoy ourselves. The staff were friendly and helpful, and you could tell they really cared about making sure everyone had a great time. We’ll definitely be coming back — such a wonderful place for families to make memories together!

Ripley’s Aquarium is an amazing place for families. My son loved watching the stingrays — you can see them from above (bird’s-eye view) in open water, just a few feet away. The kids’ section has a small filtration system for play purposes, where children can learn how water moves through the aquarium. It’s educational, fun, and a great way for kids to explore and understand how filtration works. The place is clean, well-organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for both kids and adults!

Its a really cool, fairly big aquarium. It was a little cfowdwd, but other than that, it was fun. There were so many decorations and things to see, and unique sea creatures. The kids indoor playground looked fun, and all the tanks were very clean, and the creatures were well maintained. The only problem was the food. I there were more fikd options. The only cafeteria type food place only had a couple crowded tables, and barely had anything on the menu. But that wasnt enough to bring my rating down to a 4 stars, because the aquarium is so great. I love this place.

Awesome for all ages. Plenty of seating arrangements for elders. Touching the sting ray is the best thing as a climax kids can have. My kids had an amazing day. The aquarium has a lot of variety of sea creatures . Moreover the way it has been presented is amazing. Information display is very clear and simple. Its worth the money. Memorable experience.

9:00 a.m. Toronto My CityPASS said I could visit Ripley’s Aquarium anytime, so with an hour to spare before my CN Tower reservation, I decided to head inside. I asked the girl scanning tickets how long it usually took to get through. She told me about an hour and a half. It was Monday morning, and the place was completely empty. It was quiet, the kind of quiet that hums in your chest. Just the low music and the faint whoosh of water cycling through the tanks. The blue light made everything look like it was breathing. I wandered slowly, taking in the small faces of the fish and the strange calm that filled the rooms. There was even a “quiet tent” set up for anyone who needed a break. I understood why. If I had another encounter with that sawfish staring at me like it was judging my entire existence, I’d need it too. For a quick stop, it ended up being one of the most peaceful hours of my trip so far.

It was nice, but honestly, $56 for adults and $38 for children is way too expensive for what you offer. There were no glow fish, no dolphins, and not even a dolphin show. For the amount you charge, at least include some impressive or unique marine life that makes the visit feel worth the money. They seriously needs to improve its exhibits or reconsider its pricing it feels more like a tourist trap than an educational experience.

One of the best Aquariums I have ever gone to. Great tour of the water life in Lake Ontario, this place taught me a lot about the creatures in the water. They have a great jellyfish exhibit which has glow in the dark jellyfish under blacklight which was an amazing experience. If you have never visited this aquarium I highly recommend you check this place out!

Obviously this place has an amazing view. I ordered an old fashioned. It was perfectly made. My food was amazing. I got the multi-course meal that included an appetizer, the main dish, and a dessert. It was definitely on the pricey side. For one person with a good solid tip and of course the alcoholic drink. My total bill was about $160. That said the view is amazing. The service was great. The food was amazing. Absolutely worth every bit of it and it was a great evening to myself with a beautiful sunset. I highly recommend getting reservations and I would also recommend to look and see what time is sunset is and get there about a half hour before

I recently visited the CN Tower with a group of friends on a weekday, and it was an unforgettable experience! We decided to buy our tickets online beforehand, which meant we didn't have to wait in long lines. This definitely helped make the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable from the start. The moment we stepped into the lift, the excitement was already building up. The staff in the elevator were not just professional but also incredibly funny and engaging, which added an unexpected and delightful touch to the ride. The fast ascent gave us a sense of anticipation, and the view as we reached the top was nothing short of breathtaking. From the observation deck, the city sprawled beneath us like a living, breathing landscape. The buildings seemed to stretch endlessly, while the cars and vehicles below appeared as tiny moving dots—it's amazing how perspective shifts when you're so high up! The day view was spectacular, offering a clear, panoramic look at Toronto's impressive skyline, and we could see all the way to Lake Ontario. But what really made the experience even more magical was seeing the city transition as the sun began to set. Watching the sky change from golden hues to the deep blues of night, the lights of the city flickering to life below, was truly mesmerizing. One of the highlights of our visit was the chance to see the vastness of Lake Ontario. The enormous water body stretched out endlessly, and you could almost feel the peace that it brought to the bustling city. It’s hard to put into words how incredible it felt to take in such a stunning sight from such a height. While we soaked in the views, we also treated ourselves to some delicious food at the restaurant, which had its own glass floor. Dining while looking out over the entire city, surrounded by the endless sky and twinkling lights, made the meal even more memorable. Everything down below seemed so small and far away—the buildings, the busy streets, even the people—all of it felt like a different world from up there. It was a perfect blend of nature, cityscape, and human activity, all from the comfort of the CN Tower. The whole experience left us with a sense of awe and wonder, and we all agreed it was a memory we’d cherish. Whether you're a local or a tourist, the CN Tower offers a truly unique way to experience the city of Toronto. It’s a place where the beauty of the skyline meets the serenity of the natural world, making for an unforgettable visit. I can’t wait to go back again—this time maybe to see the city from the glass floor! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible view, great food, and a fun, memorable experience.

We enjoyed the beauty of the tower. We opted for the trip to the top. It's a tad overrated. The clouds at the top made getting good pictures a difficult task. The elevator is super crowded, but very fast. The staff members are kind, respectful and helpful. I think going to the observation deck would have been a better option for us. It is lit beautifully at night from the outside. The glass floor and big beautiful images behind it were fun!

I visited the CN Tower with my family a few years back, and the view from the top is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. You really get to see the city from a whole new perspective. Standing on the glass floor was both exciting and a little nerve-wracking. I definitely felt a bit anxious looking straight down, but it was a fun and memorable experience. It’s one of those iconic spots in Toronto that’s worth visiting once. Whether you go during the day or at night, the view is stunning either way.

The CN Tower is a must-see! A unique place any time of year. The view from the top is indescribable – the entire city looks like a scale model, with Lake Ontario stretching out to the horizon. The biggest attraction? The glass floor, which you step onto with a little trepidation, but then burst into a broad smile 😄 The whole experience was perfectly organized and with very friendly service. It's worth buying tickets online. If you're in Toronto, you simply can't miss it! I recommend it to anyone who wants to see Toronto from a completely different perspective. An unforgettable experience!

My first time experience here was amazing. The walk to the restaurant is a little bit much but once you are in the building it’s actually pretty neat. You go up the sky lift that gives you amazing views of the city and immediately out of the elevator you are guided and seated to you seat. Now I did make reservations that were honored so I’d recommend making arrangements ahead of time, we were there for a birthday and they accommodated my wishes of acknowledging the special with a cute placard and a special desert for his birthday with a cute placard. The food however was 10/10 I had the lamb shank and grits, with a deconstructed Caesar salad. Everything tasted great even my guys food was good he opted for the seafood route with a lobster style meal and Brussels. I can say 10/10 even our waiter was attentive and helped up pick out items and plan our meal accordingly. I missed his name but he was amazing and well wishes to him. I inquired about if there were any semi sweet wines and he recommended me one and even let me sample it ! Of course it was amazing right from Canadian vineyards which was a plus. I’d definitely recommend if you are okay spending a good penny.

We absolutely loved this experience and we're going to come back to do it again. We enjoyed everything about it. We were able to walk up and buy tickets, there was no wait. I was truly surprised by the size of the tower. The views were incredible and there's an art exhibit. I don't want to give it all away but this was worth every penny.

Beautiful, scenic and relaxing! Stunning views of downtown Toronto en route by ferry to this quaint set of interconnected islands. Lovely boardwalk from Ward’s Island to Centre Island. Clean and lifeguard-supervised swimming area on Centre Island. Cute amusement park and gardens. Spend the day or just a few hours.

Toronto Islands are one of the best places to visit in the city. The view of the skyline from across the water is absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. Whether it’s summer or fall, the islands are stunning. There are three islands, each with its own charm. You can take a boat to any of them (check the schedule), or grab a water taxi near Harbourfront for a more relaxing ride. The return trip from the island is free even if you didn’t take the ferry. The are a few beaches which are clean and scenic, perfect for summer days. I highly recommend going on a weekday, ideally in the morning to avoid crowds (it can be VERY crowdy on weekends). On weekdays it is quiet, peaceful, and you might feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The best way to explore is by renting a bike through Bike Share. There are lots of them available. There is also a nice boardwalk on the opposite side of the islands (no bikes permitted though). But the best part is of course the iconic view from Centre Island. There are also a few cafes for a quick snack, plenty of picnic spots, lots of water stations. Overall, Toronto Islands are a must-see!

We ended up catching the ferry to Billy Bishop Airport (~10minutes). From there, we walked to Center Island. It was incredibly crowded for a weekday. Prices were high for pretty much everything. The highlights for us were the little farm, where we got to pet the ponies, donkeys, and goats. We caught the ferry back to the mainland maybe 40 minutes after exploring Center Island.

I always have a great time on this island—beautiful nature and delicious food. The only thing I didn’t like this time was that some people were going into the fountain pool, which isn’t allowed. Security should take steps to prevent this.

Visited Toronto Island Park around 3 PM in October with friends. We spent about two hours walking around and watched a beautiful sunset. It was a bit cold, and there isn’t much to do during the colder months besides walking, grabbing a coffee or snack at the small café, or checking out the restaurant that was open. The views of the city and lake were great, but overall it’s a quiet, simple experience in the off-season. Also, in winter the ferry doesn’t reach the main island, so you have to walk about 30 minutes to get there

had a great time at Toronto Islands. The place is peaceful and has amazing views of the city skyline. I went during the air show, and watching it from the island was a perfect choice. The planes flying over the water and skyline made it a great experience. We also had a small barbecue there, which added to the fun. The open space, fresh air, and calm surroundings made it a relaxing day. The ferry ride to the island was smooth and easy. Overall, it was a lovely day,good weather, exciting air show, tasty food, and a perfect spot to enjoy nature while still being close to the city.

Beautiful islands to enjoy some quality time with friends and family. It’s an easy ferry ride or water taxi from the harbours. During weekend a very busy place, so a wait for ferry is long. However if you wish to save time, get a water taxi which is quick for some extra dollars. Overall the island is very clean with great sights and activities for everyone. It’s huge with different sides of it. Centre island is the main attraction for a new person or tourist. Easy to walk around or rent a cycle for better experience. Lots of places to get a quick drink or snacks. Lot of signage’s available and its self explanatory. Best views of Toronto skyline from the islands.

I took the 75-minute tour today and absolutely loved it. Lou was my guide and he did a great job. I've been to around a dozen or so Frank Lloyd Wright properties, and this was the most spectacular. The property is sprawling, the home is meticulously restored, and the landscaping is so beautiful. This is a must do in Buffalo for any architectural buffs.

We took the 2 hr tour. Parking is in the surrounding streets and watch the signage for allowed days and times. Tickets were on every car illegally parked. The house is obviously impressive and massive. Being fairly tall, I really didn't care for the areas with low ceilings that were intended by wright to either move you along or to sit down. Interior woodworking was impeccable and outside construction flawless. The guide seemed focused on minute details of the owners life and family rather than the house. But it was informative and very well run.

Frank Lloyd Wright architecture lovers will be very excited to see the restoration and current condition of this beautiful piece of residential art! Every detail was understood and perfectly restored to its original condition. Part of the house and an adjacent FLW home were destroyed in the past and all of it was rebuilt to exacting details and materials. As soon as you step into the home, it takes your breath away with sights, lights and sounds like no other home. It is not Renaissance grand, but it is FLW grand and I like that better. The warmth of the woods, the glass that makes the light talk to you and the art all over the house secretly disguised as furniture are all amazing. The docents were professional, very knowledgeable that provided just enough time for guests to stop walk around and take it all in. They answered questions politely with additional stories about the family and additional history bits. There are several choices of options for the tour with progressively longer and more complete tours of the home, adjacent buildings, and grounds. I highly recommend touring this Frank Lloyd Home in Buffalo!

The tour began with an excellent video laying the background for the design and building of the estate. Dave, our tour guide, was a wealth of information, and very entertaining. He was able to respond to all questions. We took the two hour tour, which I would highly recommend. We went in October, but I would love to return in spring/summer when the gardens are in bloom.

What a spectacular place! My family enjoyed hearing about the history of the home and the relationship between Mr. Wright and Mr. Martin and their partnership in building this house. The house has been beautifully restored and is a treasure. Our volunteer guide was so friendly and knowledgeable about the property. We are glad to have gotten a membership and look forward to returning.

Amazing tour. We took the 2 hours tour and it surprisingly went very quickly. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the house, the history of the person that commissioned the house to be built, FLW, and the neighborhood. Even if tour are not a fan of FLW, you will enjoy this tour of the property.

We visited the Martin House on our way to Niagara Falls. The architecture is beautiful, and the history behind it is fascinating. It even inspired us to visit Paris to see the original piece of the Statue of Victory.

Went on free Thursday in October was great weather not hot or cold was plenty of people for a weekday. Got to see the baby red panda were so cute .We had a burger at the burger restaurant was very good weird the pop was more than the burger! Spent couple of hours there got to see everything loved the polar bear and giraffes and the rainforest.

This zoo may be small in size but it is really nice. They have so many cool animals like Hyenas, Snow Monkeys, Seals, Polar Bears and of course Buffalo, as well as so much more. The Hyena I saw was so cute. Also apparently I went there while they were celebrating their 150th anniversary so there were a bunch of big light up displays and animal figures. I wholeheartedly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. It is a lot of fun.

A wonderful zoo with friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging staff. The zoo is very easy to navigate and isn't so large that you feel like you can't see everything in a timely manner. My wife and I purchased the giraffe encounter and that was just the icing on the cake. I would highly encourage you to look at and purchase an encounter to get a behind the scenes look that you can't get otherwise.

Very skimpy on animals. Good for a nice walk on a good day. I hope they turn it into an animal rescue site and rehab . We don't really need to cage more wild animals but great if born in captivity or a rescue. I understand the eagles can't fly doe to injury, the animals there are well taken care of and look really healthy.

Waste of money. This was the worst zoo I have ever been to $60 plus for 3 people plus parking! 0 out of 10 do not recommend. The animals looked like they were unalived. The lions looked half starved. The animals barely moved. The polar bear which was the highlight of the visit looked miserable sitting in dry dirt. No water in sight or anything for the poor guy. This place makes me see while animals should not be in cages. They did not look happy at all. I wished I could have saved them from their despair. Poor things. Do better for the animals. Also they were decorating but not decorating. Just had junk laying everywhere in piles even blocking walk ways. Very unprofessional and unpleasant in my opinion. Awful place 😖

Once again a visit for the 'Zoomagination'. 🎊 This event never disappoints. Best viewed in the later evening hours, but come early enough to check out a show. 👍 Easy walking,🚶‍♂️ but a bit of it to do, to see all the displays. Most of the animals are asleep, or the areas are closed, so not an extra distraction. Light displays are spectacular and well done, with some being interactive. Great for all ages! Don't miss this amazing event ❤️ while its here! Run, don't walk! 😉

Our first trip to the Buffalo Zoo as we were passing through the area was great. A smaller zoo but with plenty of animals to see. It is an older zoo, 150 years old, and some areas are very dated, but you can see they are working to update all the areas. They were setting up for the Zoo Lantern Festival that looks like it is going to be amazing. We spent about 4 hours at the zoo and still didn't get to everything. I guess it just means another trip back when we are passing through Buffalo again.

We had a great time visiting the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, especially taking advantage of the free admission on the first Friday of the month. The atmosphere was fantastic — peaceful, inspiring, and perfect for exploring art. The architecture of the museum itself is beautiful, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Inside, the collection of art is truly impressive, with a great mix of contemporary and classic pieces. It’s a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, and we’re looking forward to coming back again. Highly recommended!

Never disappoints! The AKG is where I was first inspired by art, and it’s priceless to see that light shine in the little ones I now bring there. Creativity is ALIVE here, through excellent curation, community interaction, and convivial staff. The building is so well designed and has the most beautiful park views in Buffalo. Pro tip: head to The Terrace afterwards (a restaurant right across from the back entrance by the lake) for a more relaxed meal and cocktails than Cornelia. There’s a beautiful view of the original museum exterior from the restaurant and you’ll walk amongst some outdoor sculptures on your way.

Had a bestie date here to specifically experience the Yayoi Kusama exhibit: One with Eternity. The exhibit was so much fun and an awesome interactive experience. Beautiful museum, and I appreciate the on-site parking also! I plan on purchasing a membership soon especially with winter coming so I have a reason to leave the house and what better reason is there than art?!

Incredible museum. No spoilers. A must visit for locals and visitors. The staff is friendly and ready to answer questions. The restaurant Cornelia offers a dynamic menu, and you can order at the bar if you prefer to eat under Common Sky (canopy of glass and mirrors). The enclosed glass walkway and the Gundlach building are stunning additions. The bathrooms are always clean and classy (the doors reach the floor, a nice upgrade for a public restroom).

This is a great art museum with a lot of really beautiful and fascinating pieces including a lot by famous artists. And while I didn’t quite understand and was very confused by some of the more avant-garde pieces, I still quite enjoyed checking it out. Definitely worth giving a look if you’re an art lover or know someone who is.

really a great art trip. lucky to have planty paintings from Finland, Seeden, Norway, Canada. underground parking is available 12 bucks for th first three hrs,

Buffalo provides a respectable modern art experience for visitors. You will not find any ancient artifacts at the AGK since they were auctioned off to fund the shift to modern art. You will have to go to the MAG in Rochester or to NYC and visit The Met for those experiences. That aside, there are some significant pieces of art by Rodin, Dali, Warhol, Pollock, Kahlo, Matisse, Kandinsky, Seurat, Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh & Cezanne. I'm not a fan of modern art in particular, but I do appreciate the opportunity to discover new artists that I enjoy like Mickalene Thomas , Gary Simmons or Frank Moore. The collection of art by more widely known artists makes it worth the trip, even if you're not a fan of modern art. Other reviewers have mentioned how security tends to hover over visitors and I did notice that on our visit. It was a bit odd at first, but I decided to ignore it and not let it bother me. Our stop at the cafe was a pleasant experience. We enjoyed our cappuccino, latte, and scone, which were well made and fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful. A map of the museum with exhibit locations should be provided for visitors, but we were not offered one and there wasn't an up to date digital copy available.

This was mine and my brother's first time in Buffalo coming to Niagara Falls. When I say this place is beautiful, it is amazing here. We went during the day time so it was decently crowded but not like how I had expected it to be. The park is plenty big and I like that there were easy to read and navigate signs all over the place. It was super cool to see the divide between the US said and Canada. It was funny to see how there are certain spots that people can go to for great pictures and not go across the border. We did see guided tours along the walking paths, but we choose to do our own exploring. We got to see the ferries that takes people close up to the water. I highly recommend buying tickets well in advance because they were sold out online (not sure about in person). Overall a great trip very blessed to have the opportunity to come and see the falls. I wouldn't mind coming and staying for 1 night to see the falls with lights. Such a great time.

Lifetime experience.. you will definitely try to visit once in your life.. My experience is beyond the words not just a photogenic or falls is beautiful but also falls generate electricity. Maid of the mist and cave of the wind are two different experience you will get.just casual walk on the falls are also great. Night fireworks are the best. Not only try to capture in your camera 📸 but also capture all that experience in your eyes too👀 you will feel peace and you will most happy person at that moment...

Niagara Falls State Park is absolutely stunning! The views from the Observation Tower and Goat Island are breathtaking, especially during sunrise or sunset. The park is clean, well-maintained, and has all the facilities you need — restrooms, food stalls, and a trolley service ($5) to move around easily. I highly recommend the Maid of the Mist ride (around $28) and the Cave of the Winds experience — both give you an unforgettable view of the falls. Parking costs about $10–$15 depending on the season, and nearby spots like the Aquarium of Niagara and the evening illumination are totally worth checking out. Overall, a beautiful and peaceful place to visit — definitely a must-see if you’re in New York! 🌊✨

🌿 My Visit to Niagara Falls State Park My visit to Niagara Falls State Park was an incredible experience filled with natural beauty, excitement, and unforgettable views. As America’s oldest state park, it beautifully combines nature, history, and adventure — offering the best vantage points to witness the world-famous Niagara Falls up close. Walking along the scenic trails and observation decks, I enjoyed breathtaking views of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. The sound of the roaring water and the refreshing mist in the air made the whole atmosphere magical. One of the highlights was the Maid of the Mist boat ride, which takes you right to the base of the falls — a thrilling, must-do experience. I also visited the Observation Tower, which provides panoramic views of both the U.S. and Canadian sides, especially beautiful during sunset. The park is clean, well-organized, and easy to explore, with clear signboards, picnic spots, and convenient shuttle services connecting major viewpoints like Goat Island, Cave of the Winds, and Luna Island. 📍 Tips for Visitors: • Arrive early to enjoy the falls with fewer crowds. • Wear comfortable shoes — there’s a lot of walking. • Don’t miss the evening illumination and fireworks over the falls. • Combine your visit with Cave of the Winds and Maid of the Mist for the full Niagara experience. Overall, Niagara Falls State Park is a natural wonder that truly lives up to its fame — powerful, peaceful, and unforgettable. 🌈💦✨

Amazing experience at Niagara Falls (U.S. side)! I’ve visited both the Canada side and the U.S. side of Niagara Falls, and the U.S. side has its own special charm. What I really loved is how close you can get to the actual falling water… You can feel the power of the falls right in front of you. The views from the walkways and observation areas are incredible, and it’s a great spot for photos and sightseeing. Overall, a beautiful and memorable experience!

Niagara Falls State Park honestly took my breath away! Standing in front of that massive wall of water, hearing the thunder, feeling the mist hit my face — it’s one of those moments that make you realize how powerful and beautiful nature truly is. No photo or video could ever capture that feeling! 🌊✨ The Maid of the Mist boat ride was hands down the most thrilling part of the day — we were laughing, screaming, and getting drenched as the boat pulled closer to the Horseshoe Falls. The mist, the roar, the sheer force — it gave me chills in the best way possible. I’ll never forget that moment! The Cave of the Winds walk was another highlight — standing just a few feet away from the Bridal Veil Falls, completely soaked but grinning from ear to ear. The water crashing beside us, wind swirling around — it felt like being part of the falls themselves. Pure magic! 💦 We took the trolley ride around the park afterward, which was such a relaxing way to explore. Every stop had something worth seeing — breathtaking viewpoints, calm walking trails, and those postcard-perfect views that make you pause just to take it all in. From the roaring falls to the smallest rainbow in the mist, everything about Niagara felt alive. It’s one of those places that leaves you awestruck no matter how many times you visit. 🌈💙

Not having been there for many years, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much was added and the expanded trails along with new exhibits. They've done a great job! Parking is abundant, but not cheap. I don't know if one exists, but a day pass covering all the parking areas would be nice. The tram is great for seeing the entire park as it's on/off at every stop. Only one negative is you cannot drive and observe the falls like on the Canadian side. It may not be possible due to land vantage points however. Anyway, a beautiful park and a must do other than the Canadian side.

The Cave of the Winds is absolutely amazing. Worth every penny for this experience. You will get wet. Very wet. Bring water shoes. It starts with a gallery with some history of the Cave and Goat Island. This is followed by a short movie which helps you understand more history of the industries in the past. Then the main event, down to the Decks. The elevators are smaller but it is worth it. You are literally in the flow of both water falls. Just increible. The Hurricane Deck the best part. Go in and get wet. It is safe and the water is super clean. Bicycle racks nearby. Paid parking in effect. Tram stops out front. Get tickets in packages to save money. The path below has been recently repaved and decks have been repaired (Oct 2025). Overall the decks are in very good shape. Free clean washrooms at the top. It can be very busy during the peak season. Do not climb over the barriers. You're a goner. No Free WiFi.

One of best experience in my life! We got very wet because we went all the way to the end. But it was worth it. When else can you experience this? If you go here, go under the waterfall! Gather your courage and go! If it's very windy, wait for the wind to change! Wear non-slip slippers and short clothes so you don't get too wet. It's a wonderful, wonderful experience.

💦 My Visit to Cave of the Winds – Niagara Falls My visit to the Cave of the Winds was one of the most thrilling and immersive experiences at Niagara Falls State Park. This attraction lets you feel the true power of the falls up close — not just see them from afar. After taking an elevator 175 feet down into the Niagara Gorge, I followed wooden walkways that led right to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls. The closer I got, the louder the roar of the water became, and soon I was completely surrounded by mist and spray. Standing on the Hurricane Deck, just a few meters from the cascading falls, was absolutely exhilarating — it felt like standing in the middle of a tropical storm! The park provides a poncho and special sandals, but be ready to get drenched — and love every second of it. The experience is well-organized, safe, and an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Niagara Falls. 📍 Tips for Visitors: • Go early morning for fewer crowds and great lighting. • Wear quick-drying clothes and keep valuables waterproof. • The Hurricane Deck offers the best photo and video moments — but be ready for a full soak! • Combine this with Maid of the Mist and Observation Tower for the complete Niagara adventure. Overall, Cave of the Winds is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that lets you feel Niagara’s raw power — thrilling, refreshing, and unforgettable! 🌊🌈✨

What a cool experience seeing the falls up close! Prepare to get very wet! Even more so than the Maid of the Mist ride! Take your time and be careful walking! Lots of opportunities for great pictures here!

100% a great experience. We loved it!!! We weren’t prepared for how wet we would get but it was worth it. A couple of tips. I brought some sandals in a back pack and that was so nice because my wives shoes got soaked. The poncho they give you is sufficient for keeping you dry unless you have long pants and shoes on. I had shorts on and the bottom half of my shorts got wet. We just paid right at the entrance. It was easy. They take you through a museum that tells you about the history of the falls and you watch a short movie then they take you down the elevator to the walk path. It really didn’t take to long to go through the line and be on the path. You will love it just go.

For the child inside you… Very thrilling and chilling experience. But would only work in summers Get ready to get wet no matter what you wear Especially the shoes… They do give a history tour while you are waiting followed by a short film, but the fun part lies down at the foot of the waterfall You basically take shower at Bridal Veil

Can I give it more than 5 stars? Seriously, this was our family’s #1 favorite attraction on either the NY or Canadian side! We even liked it better than the boat tours around the falls. Why? You get so close! So close it feels like a Category 1 hurricane. You can get absolutely drenched. You get to see up close the power of the falls. Don’t skip this one!

Absolutely stunning, i highly recommend visiting once in your life time. We went during a weekday in September and it was not very crowded. Pretty east walk from one side of the falls to the other (about 30-45 min at a very leisurely pace and stopping for photos.)

This was a bucket list adventure and it was absolutely amazing! The falls are so beautiful and powerful. The scenery is incredible in the park, especially in the fall. We did a boat ride to the falls and we could feel the water spraying up on us as it hit the water below. Of course Canada is just on the opposite bank.

Niagara Falls is a group of three waterfalls on the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA, connected by the Niagara River. The three falls are the Horseshoe Falls (the largest, on the Canadian side), the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls (both on the U.S. side). Known for its scenic power, the falls are a major tourist destination with attractions like boat tours and observation decks, and a significant source of hydroelectric power. The three waterfalls Horseshoe Falls: The largest of the three, located on the Canadian side of the border and carrying the majority of the Niagara River's flow. American Falls: Located in the United States. Bridal Veil Falls: Also on the U.S. side and located next to the American Falls. Geography and power The falls are created where the Niagara River, which connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, plunges over the Niagara Escarpment. More than 168,000 cubic meters (6 million cubic feet) of water go over the crestline of the falls every minute during peak daytime tourist hours. The area is a major source of hydroelectric power, with projects like the Niagara Power Project in New York being one of the state's largest electricity producers. Tourist attractions and activities Boat tours: Popular options include Maid of the Mist on the NY side and others on the Canadian side that take you into the mist at the base of the falls. Cave of the Winds: An attraction on the U.S. side that takes you to a deck below the American Falls. Observation decks: The Observation Tower on the U.S. side provides views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls. The Skylon Tower on the Canadian side offers panoramic views. Walking tours: Visitors can walk across the international border via bridges like the Rainbow Bridge. Other attractions: The area includes other attractions like the Aquarium of Niagara, amusement attractions, and shows. Visitor information The falls are accessible from both the United States and Canada, with cities like Buffalo, NY, on the U.S. side and Hamilton and Toronto near the Canadian side. Niagara Falls State Park on the U.S. side is America's oldest state park and is open 365 days a year.

Niagara Falls is truly one of the best places to visit! The view is breathtaking, and the sound of the rushing water is both powerful and calming. The boat cruise is an unforgettable experience — getting so close to the falls and feeling the mist on your face is simply amazing. The area around the falls is clean, well maintained, and has plenty of restaurants, souvenir shops, and viewing points. It’s a perfect destination for families, couples, or anyone who loves nature and adventure. I highly recommend adding Niagara Falls to your travel list — you’ll never forget the experience!

Amazing place. So clean, so beautiful, with the falls accessible day or night. To access the closer parts, like the boat or the tunnel, you'll have to buy a ticket. Our group booked via the hotel. You pay more, but the tour guide/ driver reduces all stress and offers an in depth historical tour to boot. The falls themselves are so beautiful, majestic in size and yet so calming. Nature the way God intended. Incredible views, and the USA side more relaxed compared to the Canadian side. The view of the falls better from Canada overall, but you get up closer from the USA side. Weekends much busier than week days, but worth it no matter what day you choose. All hotels are within 10 minutes walk, so don't worry what one you choose. Free fireworks show at 10pm every night, lasting between 5 and 8 minutes. Spectacular place.

It was Wednesday morning when I arrived at Niagara Falls, and since it was the end of the season, the streets were almost empty. Only a few people, including me, could be seen around the state park or walking along the city roads. The view of Niagara Falls is absolutely breathtaking, and I highly recommend visiting the Shoreline Trail either early in the morning or in the evening.

Amazing experience, definately come early, it may be chilly but you will definately benefit from coming earlier. Parking wasnt a issue and crowds weren't as well. Parking is 10 dollars and e erything else besides the boat ride is free.

I came here for a lunch buffet. Despite the bad reviews, I gave it a try. I lowered my expectations, so it was just like how I expected. The restaurant reminded me of a dormitory dining hall, extremely noisy and crowded. The food was not as bad as the reviews I read. There are plenty of options, one way or another you will find something to enjoy. It’s relatively cheap, so the price-quality point was good. However, your visit reason shouldn’t be for dining, but for the view and the overall experience. You can definitely find better food around the area, but you can’t always eat on top of the tower. So, I would suggest visiting this place once in your life and one time only.

We came for the views with a relaxed meal experience. We got that absolutely 100%. The food was good, without being brilliant. No complaints. The service was ok, but a little chaotic. The views and revolving restaurant (not the buffet) was what we came for, and what we got as an experience. Its a litle over priced for what you get for sure. We came to Niagara for a once in a lifetime experience, and this restaurant played its part. We also got to experience the views from the observation deck afterwards as well, so overall would do it again, even knowing the rest of what i mention.

While I did not go to the restaurant, I did go for the observation deck and it was so stunning. The view of Niagara Falls is amazing as well as being able to see the Buffalo and Toronto skylines. I highly recommend. The elevator up was also such a cool experience!

Recommended, view is worth it. Food was nice good portions, salmon was really tasty cook perfectly. Service wasn’t good we have two waiters one a girl was nice but the older guy was no patient and kind of rude. But we saw other tables were really happy with services maybe just our luck. Nice place to go, as the CN tower rotates so you can have a 360o view in around one hour period.

I really enjoyed the Prime Rib dinner in the revolving restaurant. You get 90 minutes for your reservation which is plenty of time to enjoy your meal and enjoy the views. The restaurant rotates once per hour, we got to see the falls 2x while we were sat. Afterwards we went to the observation deck as it is included. All of our meals were good with no complaints from any of us. I would definitely return as this was a memorable experience for me.

At the top of Skylon Tower, you’ll be treated to spectacular views of Niagara Falls! The breathtaking scenery, combined with the sound of the falls and a gentle breeze, creates an unforgettable experience!! Additionally, you’ll learn about the daring individuals who have attempted to cross the falls and witness the various vehicles they used beyond the barrels, including kayaks and a massive steel ball.

Had an amazing experience at the Skylon Tower! The views of Niagara Falls from the top are absolutely breathtaking. Tickets were around $23 per person, totally worth it for the panoramic scenery. The shop at the top was a fun surprise — the guy who owns it is super funny, friendly, and makes everyone feel comfortable. Overall, a great visit and a must-do in Niagara!

Journey Behind the Falls is an absolutely incredible experience! 🌊 Being able to stand just behind the roaring waterfalls and feel the mist on your face is something you’ll never forget. The tunnels are well-maintained, safe, and give a unique perspective of the falls that you just can’t get anywhere else. The views from the observation decks are spectacular, and the sound of the water crashing down is both thrilling and mesmerizing. The staff are friendly and helpful, making the visit smooth and enjoyable. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or coming back to Niagara Falls, Journey Behind the Falls is a must-do – it’s up close, exhilarating, and unforgettable. Highly recommend for all ages!

Walking behind and right up against the Falls is an unforgettable experience! The only other attraction that surpasses this is the Cruise that takes you into the heart of the Horseshoe Falls. I’m thrilled that I had the opportunity to experience both attractions because it allows you to truly immerse yourself in the falls at your own pace. In this experience, you’ll get much closer to the Falls, hearing the thunderous roar and feeling the water spray against you.

🚤 My Experience on the Maid of the Mist Boat Ride – Niagara Falls Taking the Maid of the Mist boat ride was the most thrilling and unforgettable part of my visit to Niagara Falls. This iconic boat tour takes you right into the heart of the mighty falls — an adventure filled with mist, roar, and excitement! As the boat slowly approached the American Falls and then the majestic Horseshoe Falls, I could feel the power of nature all around me. The sound of the crashing water was thunderous, and the mist completely surrounded us — it felt like stepping into another world. Even with the provided blue poncho, I was soaked, but the experience was totally worth it! The ride was about 20 minutes long, but every second was packed with awe and wonder. Seeing the falls up close gave me a whole new appreciation for their beauty and strength. The crew was friendly, and everything was well-organized and safe. 📍 Tips for Visitors: • Don’t worry about getting wet — embrace it! • Keep your camera or phone waterproofed; the mist is heavy. • Go early morning to avoid long queues. • Hold on to your poncho — it’s a fun souvenir! Overall, the Maid of the Mist is an absolutely must-do experience at Niagara Falls — thrilling, refreshing, and truly unforgettable. 🌊💙🛥️

Highly recommend this venue to get views of the Canadian Falls up close! One observation point gives you an incredible view up the falls to see the water cascade roll over into the Niagara river! Tunnel views are behind the falls with stunning close up of water rolling past you! They provide rain slickers to keep you dry We went in November no crowds no wait!!! Summer spring early fall high season wait can be 2 hours!!!! Definitely no exceptions do this off season!!!!!!

We traveled by bus from Union bus station to Niagara falls bus station, around 43 CAN/adult. There, we bought another ticket to the falls which was about 10 minutes far by that bus. The scene was breathtaking, especially that it was snowing. We walked around for an hour, took amazing pictures and had some coffee in the adjacent cafe, then came back the same way It is a must experience for those who visit Toronto, and it deserves the effort done to reach the location

The Journey Behind the Falls is one of those experiences that truly lets you feel the raw power of Niagara Falls up close and I mean really close. Even though I’ve seen the falls many times from above, nothing quite compares to standing right behind that massive curtain of water and hearing the thunderous roar echo all around you. It’s surreal The moment you step out of the elevator you can already hear the rumbling of the water. it’s deep and powerful, like the heartbeat of nature itself. The tunnels lead you to two observation portals directly behind the falls. When you reach them, you see millions of gallons of water rushing down in front of you, just a few feet away. The mist and the sound together create an atmosphere that’s both thrilling and calming at the same time. Then there’s the outdoor observation deck which is easily my favorite part. Standing there, you can feel the mist spraying your face while watching the falls from an incredible vantage point. It’s one of those moments you don’t forget. The poncho they provide helps, but you’ll still get a bit wet, which honestly adds to the fun. I’d recommend going early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and get more time to take it all in. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have been to Niagara before, Journey Behind the Falls gives you a whole new appreciation for its power and beauty.

What else everyone knows Niagara falls! Just dress properly especially your sleeves that will be exposed if you do the mist boat cruise! Memories shop is also nice and have wifi. Didn t had to wait long for the boat on a sunday.

I had a terrible experience here on January 8th. The shoes I bought were advertised on sale at a specific price and even had the tag with the price on them, but when I went to check out, the cashier cut off the tag with the sale price and I got charged $20 more. When I told the girl cashing me out she said that they didn’t have time to change the tags on the sale items at all that day but it was already 4pm in the day, I’m sure they could’ve had time to change it or at least honor the price on the shoe. Instead she said there’s nothing she can do and couldn’t give me the show for that price.

I come in, buy some boots..went home, only to realise i received a size larger ..not only the wrong size..but the wrong boot too ..they didn't fit, they were too big, bring them back to store.. and what does manager Azra say? They are WORN! CANT RETURN, THERES MUD ON THEM. How can they be worn when they never fit? Also, can someone please show me the mud?!?! Ive been shopping here for the last 5 years, buying everything from sneakers to boots, even the wife has bought from here so many times. Never had a problem before. My challenge remains, find the mud! I insisted so many times that they were not worn but she didn't want to listen. All this really goes to show me is that they sold me shoes that had been worn before.

I wanted to buy a shoe for my girl but the attendant is not very helpful. She made me feel like im disturbing her several times when I asked for a size. I’m a salesman, too. It saddens me whenever I witness a salesperson in the store failing to perform their duties effectively. We didn't make a purchase before leaving the store because she did not attend us properly, which amounts to a missed sales opportunity. Having her in your business leads to financial loss for your company. Visited July 13, 2023, qround 12:10…

My daughter and I walked into 5 or 6 different shoe stores on a quiet Tuesday morning in Square One. Not a single employee in any of those stores asked if we needed help finding anything and in one case he couldn’t be bothered to look up from his phone. Not until we walked into Journeys and were greeted by Ali. She was kind and helpful and steered us to a shoe that we would never have looked at. She is definitely a kind soul and a great employee! I would shop here again based on the service alone. Thanks Ali!

I came in to return a brand new pair of shoes and was told I couldn’t return them because they were worn. I bought them online and attempted to return them the same day I received them. They were a simple pair of black vans with not even so much as a spec of dust. Staff were condescending and made me feel like a criminal.

I purchased a pair of heeled Crocs from this store months ago. The cashier from that time recognised me when I went in recently, and asked about me. That made my day. I appreciate it. Also, the Crocs are awesome. I wear them everywhere. The price was very reasonable.

Great shoe selection for men, women and kids. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. I ordered a shoe from them that they didn't have in store and there was a big mix up. When I came into the store to solve it, associates Tashèe and Alex went above and beyond to come up with a solution and I left satisfied.

A beautiful old carousel by the lake! The kids had a great time and it felt like stepping back in time for just five cents. Some of the original animals are still there. We also enjoyed the beach. The water was nice and the kids had lots of fun! Only challenge is getting a parking nearby.

Located in Lakeside Park ( willows in the Breeze...yes, that Park) Ride for only 5 cents, if you don't have a Nickel a larger donation is always appreciated. Great Park, take a stroll on the Pier or play in the sand on the beach.

I went for a walk to Gage Park in Brampton, and it was incredible! The Christmas lights display was stunning, showcasing Canadian heritage and culture in such a unique way. If you have some time, you should definitely visit Gage Park in Brampton—you won’t be disappointed!

This is a nice little park best during the Christmas season. They have a skating rink with equipment rentals. Its a bit difficult to find the parking. The best option is to park at the City Hall public parking where the first hour is free. Great for Christmas photos

The rink is open daily from 5pm-10pm and 10am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Underground parking is available in City Hall. Overall a nice option for a winter outdoor family activity.

Gage Park in Brampton is an amazing place. Beautiful park with lots of trees and greenery. Personally, I like it during the snowtime. During the winter, the park is illuminated with lights all over, and an absolute delight and treat to the eyes and mind. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience in the freezing cold, worth it, unforgettable and just loved it. Not to miss this illuminated experience during the next winter.

I was staying near Gage Park. I used to come here almost every week. I have seen this park in every season. Now I'm shifted to another place and i miss this park very much. It was such a cute park with cherry blossom tree, Farmer's market, fall colors, tree lightening ceremony, skating rink, beautiful decoration, and jamming sessions by some freelance musicians on weekends. I miss everything. I wish to come here someday to enjoy the charm of this park.

As everyone is visiting places to get the wonderful view of cherry blossoms, me and my friend decided to go to Gage Park as it is in the Downtown hence, very accessible by bus. Although front side of the park was temporarily fenced due to renovation probably, we still got beautiful sight of the white cherry blossoms. We soaked ourselves in the sunlight and the fresh air and clicked tons of nice pictures. The bungalow is a great place to get clicked with. Overall, it was worth of spending time! Made our day!

Had a fantastic day at Jack Darling Memorial Park! The free parking is a huge plus, with plenty of spaces even on a busy weekend. The Lake Ontario shore is beautiful, and the fishing scene is lively – tons of people casting lines and having fun. Great for picnics, walks, or just chilling by the water. Highly recommend this vibrant park!

This park is the perfect spot to launch your paddleboard or kayak and enjoy a peaceful sunrise or sunset on the water. It offers convenient amenities like public washrooms, a foot rinse station, and plenty of picnic tables and open space, ideal for a family BBQ or picnic. Just be sure to arrive early; while there is ample parking, it fills up quickly!

The park is pretty, beaches are nice, but it's very crowded on the weekends and we couldn't find space in the parking lots. We saw that many many cars had parked on the right side of the road where there are signs that say parking is forbidden on certain hours and days. However, we saw some of the cars there with fines on their windshields. Does someone know what these signs mean then? Those cars were outside of the days and restricted hours so ...utterly confused

Scenic, family-friendly park by the lake Jack Darling Memorial Park is a great spot for all ages—lots of green space, a splash pad, playground, picnic areas, and one of the best off-leash dog parks around. The lakefront views are beautiful, and One of the best parts is that the park connects directly to the Rattray Marsh Conservation Area via the waterfront trail, making it perfect for a longer, scenic walk through nature. It gets busy on weekends, so parking can be tight, but it’s a perfect place to relax or spend time outdoors with family, friends, or your dog.

🌳 Jack Darling Memorial Park – Mississauga Review 🌳 Jack Darling Memorial Park is truly one of the best spots in Mississauga for a picnic or a relaxing day out 🌞🍉. The park is spacious with plenty of sitting areas, making it perfect for families, friends, or even just a solo escape into nature 🪑🧺. 💚 Nature lovers will be amazed – the greenery, walking paths, and overall calm vibes really make this park stand out 🌿🌸. You can easily spend hours here enjoying the fresh air, the views, and the peaceful environment. 🚻 The only drawback is the washrooms – they are available but could definitely be cleaner and more hygienic 😕. That’s one area that needs improvement. ☕ Luckily, there’s a Tim Hortons nearby, so you can grab your coffee, snacks, or even bring along some food before heading into the park 🥤🍩. ✨ Overall, if you’re looking for a beautiful picnic spot in Mississauga, this park is a gem! Just be prepared for the washroom situation, but everything else – nature, space, and convenience – makes up for it. 🌳💫

Its is a beautiful lakeside park in Mississauga, perfect for family outings and picnics. It has wide open green spaces, a dog park, splash pad, and scenic walking trails with stunning views of Lake Ontario. It gets overcrowded on weekends and parking can be very difficult.

A place of history, nature and spirit . JD memorial captures important local history, connects one to the legacy of visionaries who helped conceive and conserve the Lakeshore at Port Credit. The lakeshore has been landscaped with care and nuance to make it a unique place for rest , reflection and renewal. Beaches and reclamations are good to exercise, feel the breeze and connect with the Universal Spirit

Came early for dinner but didn't want the buffet so ordered from the bar. Bar staff is great but they were overwhelmed with drink and food orders. We ordered at 5:30 and waited over an hour for our food. Another table waited 2 hours. We spoke with a female manager about our experience. Her response was that the customers are very happy with the buffet. Unfortunately the regular bar patrons are not happy but that didn't seem to matter. We later spoke with Rob, he was extremely understanding, listened very patiently and did what he could to take care of one of the tables that still hadn't gotten their order after 2 hrs. He is an asset to Delaware North as well as the bar tender, Rich, who was also very helpful and did his best given the situation. This is a good example for how to handle a negative situation. Well done Rob and Rich!

Great place to meet up with friends. Friendly bartenders and great service. Restaurant is clean with a good selection of menu options. Quick service area accommodates all your snacking needs. Local bands on the weekends play a variety of genres making it the perfect place to go on those rainy weekend nights!

Hamburg Gaming is a wonderful, clean, safe, fun casino. It is one of our most favorite casino's to visit and we live 90 minutes away. Love to play here every chance we get.

Erie County Fair - I forgot how great the stunt artists are!! Go. See. These. Shows!! The Red Trouser Show (hilarious and great acrobatic stunts). Also the Ultimate Stunt Circus - I realized a few times that my mouth was hanging open as I'm watching. These are impressive, Nationwide shows in our little neck of the woods! Some party of my WNY brain wants to discount the fact that they are coming here like a grade school project, but ALL of these acts are Great! Don't miss the Yummy Goodness here. Ok, now I'll step off my soapbox, go! Be Amazed!! 5/5 Pure Deliciousness

Will Will was the nice guy up front when you enter and my mom didn't have her ID so I have he let her wait right with him and told me don't worry just go to the car and get her info. Very nice man and the money guy with the glasses it was very nice and funny especially I told him not to tell my wife I took some money out of the ATM and he just left and then my wife had to cash in her winnings and I said you didn't tell her did you? Nice man

It needs to be a little updated staff was friendly but they didn't have drinks excessible or easy to get to also. There wasn't many wait staff but A-OK casino. I do recommend this for my friends and I will be back. Oh yes You're also as a live band there which was a decent Band.

Friendliest staff, courteous & helpful. The patrons are happy!;) Fun gaming with friends in a clean, safe environment. Fun bands on weekend nights & entertainment choices on others, plus great food choices! It’s Hamburg for me:)

Such a nice trail, mostly paved. At one point you can take a ferry and join the Niagara trail too. We have done lots of variations of this. There are lots of places to stop and park. Highly recommended.

Amazing trail for cycling and walking.There are nice views around. Safe for family ride.

Great place for any age!! The trail is a great place to go on a nice day out!! The old canal also has some trails you can explore that bring you along a really historic area!! Love going here to relax and just go for a peaceful walk! Great place for a bike ride to the pth is all paved and ready to go! These pictures are from the old canal trail just a few minutes away from Glendale Bridge!!

The Welland Canal is a ship canal in Ontario, Canada, connecting Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. It forms a key section of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes Waterway. Traversing the Niagara Peninsula from Port Weller in St. Catharines to Port Colborne, it enables ships to ascend and descend the Niagara Escarpment and bypass Niagara Falls. It is the fourth canal connecting these waterways; three smaller predecessors also bore the same name. The Welland Canal eclipsed other, narrower canals in the region, such as the Trent-Severn Waterway and, significantly, the Erie Canal (which linked the Atlantic and Lake Erie via New York City and Buffalo, New York) by providing a shorter, more direct connection to Lake Erie. The southern, Lake Erie terminus of the canal is 99.5 metres (326 feet) higher than the northern terminus on Lake Ontario. The canal includes eight 24.4-metre-wide (80 ft) ship locks.Seven of the locks (Locks 1–7, the 'Lift' locks) are 233.5 m (766 ft) long and raise (or lower) passing ships by between 13 and 15 m (43 and 49 ft) each. The southernmost lock, (Lock 8 – the 'Guard' or 'Control' lock) is 349.9 m (1,148 ft) in length.The Garden City Skyway passes over the canal, restricting the maximum height of the masts of the ships allowed on this canal to 35.5 m (116 ft).

What an incredible place for a hike or especially a bike ride! I’ve done the entire welland in Canal. There are so many different things to see. It’s so wonderful and it’s paved all the way. It’s pretty cool watching the big ships come down the canal.

These canals are always interesting. Such a great idea of moving ships up or down. Nice to walk around when it's not that busy and watch the ships pass.

We had no GPS but we drove around till we found it and it was so cool. A ship was going through.

A hidden gem of wild beauty! Chatlehem Badlands is absolutely breathtaking — a surreal landscape that feels like stepping onto another planet. The colorful rock formations, sculpted by wind and time, glow beautifully at sunrise and sunset. It’s a photographer’s dream and a hiker’s paradise, with plenty of spots to explore and reflect in quiet solitude. The trails are well-marked, and even though the terrain looks rugged, it’s surprisingly accessible for most visitors. Bring plenty of water, good shoes, and your sense of wonder — this place will reward you tenfold. If you’re looking for something unique, peaceful, and truly awe-inspiring, the Chatlehem Badlands are a must-see! 🌄

Nice Evening Spot Decent experience overall. The boardwalk view area is short (about 60m) and the trail from parking is around 700m. We went on a sunny day, so the red color wasn’t too visible, but it looked great after sunset. Best time to visit would be in fall on a slightly cloudy day. Walking on the badlands isn’t allowed. Parking reservation is mandatory, but it’s free for cyclists and pedestrians. If you’re not much into photography, the whole visit takes about 45–50 minutes unless you explore the Bruce Trail. A good place to spend a calm 1–2 hours in the evening.

The Cheltenham Badlands is a stunning natural wonder with its striking red rolling hills and unique landscape. The boardwalk makes it easy to explore while protecting the fragile terrain. It’s a great spot for photography, especially during sunrise or sunset when the colors are most vibrant. The area is well-maintained with clear signage and nearby parking. Overall, it’s a fascinating and peaceful place to visit for nature lovers and anyone interested in Canada’s geological beauty...

Beautiful fall spot for families! I Visited Cheltenham Badlands with my wife and 3-year-old daughter — we all loved it! The red hills are so unique, and the fall colors around the trees were absolutely stunning. It’s a short, easy walk on the boardwalk, great for kids and families. The views were incredible and perfect for photos. Highly recommend visiting in mid to late October. Book parking ahead and try to go early to avoid the crowds. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting place, but I liked better a road to it - we visited it at the end of October an fall colours on escarpment were on pick this year. Site itself is pretty small an the trail is just 320 meters only. You need to reserve a parking in advance. There are mobile toilets on parking as well as a couple of picknick tables.

I visited Cheltenham Badlands on a crisp autumn afternoon and the fall colours were stunning — the rich red shale formations set against the golden and orange trees made for a spectacular scene. The site is open seasonally from May 9 to November 17 (dawn to dusk). Parking is reservation-only (you book online in advance) and each vehicle slot gives you a 90-minute visit by default. Fee structure (2025) is: Weekdays: ~$10 + HST for 90 minutes. Weekends/holidays: ~$20 + HST for 90 minutes. There are also 3-hour slots available for ~$18 on weekdays and ~$35 on weekends. When you arrive, stay on the boardwalk and designated trails — walking on the shale itself is prohibited so as to protect the fragile landscape. There are washrooms (portable/onsite) at the parking lot, and the main viewing point is accessible via a short trail and a 60 m boardwalk.

We were there on Saturday, and I wouldn’t recommend visiting on weekends - it’s way too crowded. Our friends went two days later, on Monday, and they almost had the place to themselves. There are two trails at the moment - the Badlands Trail (a short one) and the Bruce Trail. The view of the Badlands hills is only available from the Badlands Trail, so the other one is worth it only if you want to walk through the forest. We booked 1.5 hours, and it was more than enough to explore both trails. The view of the hills is truly stunning, especially in the fall.

We had a tasting here and tried many samples of awesome wines . All of the Surahs were amazing . Colin is awesome and the best guy you can get to show you the tastings . Give this man a huge raise ! He made our experience a phenomenal one .

Charles, our server, was incredibly approachable and engaging. He captured our attention with an intriguing and informative overview of the Niagara wine industry, all while keeping things personable and tailored to our experience. We’ve been to many Niagara wine tastings, but this one truly stood out! We learned so much and would definitely recommend it.

Excellent tasting experience. I have done tastings i Australia, France and Canada. This is by far the best wine testing I have ever experienced. Collin was amazing. He really knew the wines and was able to make suggestions for our tasting based on our comments. Superb.

Thank you Charles for an amazing start to a great trip. We loved your wines, appreciated your hospitality and all your great recommendations for us for our trip! We have already enjoyed some of the wines we bought. Never did I expect to enjoy such bold and beautiful reds here in Niagra!

The tasting with Collin was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Had an amazing time and the wine was phenomenal! A must stop!

Decided to tour the vineyards of niagara and happened upon this one. I must say by far the whole customer experience we encountered along the way made your winery the best to visit all due to Charles. He made our group of 10 feel at home. He was so welcoming and answered all our questions without judgment. We will definitely be telling all our friends back in Victoria Bc to come here. Thank you. 😊

Our previous visit to Kacaba was during a period of covid restrictions, so it was super to be back when the full great experience was available. They have a spacious bright tasting room/event space on two levels in the main hall, and a private room is also available. Lots of outdoor spaces for visits on the warmer months. Our visit this time was related to our membership at another nearby winery, Commisso, whose club includes partnerships with a number of nearby wineries for tastings. Kacaba has a lot to offer! Among the three of us, we tasted most of the menu and had a lovely visit with the staff member. My top two were the Reserve Reisling and, of course Joanne's Blend (sparkling!). My partner and our companion were both quite pleased with multi-award winning Syrah Reserve and Meritage Reserve. All in all, it was a great way to have spent a dreary December afternoon.

This was my first time ever skiing, I took 1 lesson just to get the hang of it and at the end I was skiing on blue! (And I also now know what blue means 🤣) I'm an au pair and came here with my wonderful host family every year, I highly recommend this place. So sweet and homely, and really nice slopes. Also mini hot chocolates!! :D

If you read my reviews you'll see that I rarely rate anything 5 stars, but I feel like with our families experience there... I just have to give them the credit! The staff was absolutely a pleasure to deal with. We had great experiences getting outfitted with the rentals and the high performance rental shop really dialed me in for a fantastic ski day. My wife and youngest son had an hour private lesson in the morning, and that was all they needed from never skiing to be able to enjoy the rest of the day with myself and oldest son. I was blowing fresh powder ALL DAY long and we thoroughly enjoyed the different levels of runs to choose from. It has something for anyone and everyone I feel like. The people we came across on the slopes were all friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The staff was helpful with the little guy getting onto the lifts and really just all the way around. We even stopped for lunch at the bottom of the hill. The complementary hot cocoa really just set the whole experience to perfection. It was an enjoyable meal with gr at service. Not only that but getting to thaw out and dry our gloves made the second half of the day that much more enjoyable. I really can't say enough good things about our experience to be honest. The worst that happened was getting stuck in a white out on the way home and doing 20mph on the highway because conditions were so bad and traffic wouldn't move. The mountain top experience was the best we could have asked for!

Gorgeous place outside of Buffalo. We enjoyed the mountain coaster and gem mining. Perfect spot for fall festivities

We’ve come to Holiday Valley for quick day trips and have had a wonderful day each time. Even during a busy week, we didn’t feel the crowds and felt there was plenty of space on the lifts and runs. Aside from the nice variety of runs, one thing that stood out to my family is that Holiday Valley is filled with the kindest staff! Everyone we spoke with couldn’t be more helpful. Really great place and would love to spend more time next visit,

My son Lucas, visiting from Florida, and I had an amazing weekend at Holiday Valley. Even with a bit of icy weather on Saturday, the resort's commitment to providing excellent conditions shone through. The overnight snowfall and the diligent grooming team made Sunday's skiing absolutely perfect. It was a memorable father-son adventure, and Holiday Valley made it truly special.

So much fun the rooms are beautiful and comfortable the pool is awesome.Well maintain the staff is very friendly

I have been coming to Holiday Valley for about 15 years now, and I absolutely love it. There are so many pluses to this place. There are a great number of runs and it's quite a stretch from one end to the other, so it often doesn't feel as busy as it is because everyone can spread out across the resort. Almost every lift has runs of all three levels terminating at it, so if there are varying skill levels in your group, everyone can split off, do a run they're comfortable with, and then meet back at the lift. They get great snow, there are multiple lodges and warming huts to hang out at, staff are friendly, the majority of the runs are open for night skiing, there are awesome events, the town is a blast, I could go on and on! Love this hill.

Always heard in the east, Seneca was THE place to go and the only place offering free drinks while you gambled. I’m still a bit “gray” on that as I got a few free beers at a bar that had a poker machine built into the bar top I was playing but if they did at the machines, there were FEW waitresses and it sure wasn’t made known. Our room was nice but the hall getting to it smelled like a “pot” farm. It wasn’t “bad” but it was a casino like everywhere else: pretty tight machines.

Staying at this hotel was an interesting experience. The view of the mountains and the beautiful scenery was great, and the design of the lobby was nice. The problem was that the first room we were given had an empty shampoo bottle, the bed sheets had black spots on them, and although it was supposed to be a non-smoking room, it smelled of cigarettes. When I mentioned these issues to the reception, they changed our room, and the new one was better. We had the breakfast buffet, but it really wasn’t impressive and definitely not at the level of a 4-star hotel. For dinner, we tried the Italian restaurant, and the food was excellent.

Room seemed well kept other than one of the charging strips falling out of the wall. The reason I’m giving this 3 stars is because of everything else here. To start, the entire hotel was very warm, like uncomfortably warm. Then I went for breakfast in the morning to be greeted by a hostess who seemed sad to be there, and being charged 15 bucks for a breakfast burrito which was super dry in some parts and literally wet in others on top of it not even being wrapped properly so everything was falling out the bottom every time i took a bite. I was then going to try out the casino a bit, but decided against that when I saw how everyone who was already in there looked legitimately depressed at the machines, not to mention it was super bright and loud. Also, mattresses were way to soft and provided no support what so ever, so you end up sinking down in and can’t really move much.

I'm not a gambler, but had a great time with my group who were. Between the great restaurants in the casino. The comfortable rooms. Plus the beautiful fall scenery, as well as off site breweries, and distilleries, everyone had a great weekend.

We go to Seneca Allegany for a weekend away every September. We love the rooms and out of the way location that feels like it is away from it all. Our only real complaint would be the drinks situation. Drinks are “free” if you are actively playing a game at the casino, but waitresses come around very rarely and the drinks are tiny. You can go to the bar but there are so many people pretending to “play” at the bar that you can’t get in to even pay for a drink. We spent way too long trying to get anything to drink, and that was even when we were willing to buy them. A regular cash bar would have been better. It made us leave the casino floor early every evening as they started to get busy. Pro tip- order a Detroit style hot honey pizza from Toscana and take it back to your room for a late night snack or relaxed dinner. It is amazing!

We’ve visited a few times but every time is better than the next. Room service to check-in/out is always great! Definitely recommend room service and make sure to review restaurant times and menus.

Like all of the seneca resorts the room was clean and nice. The casino was fun and the show, although too short(not there fault) was a blast. I have never had a bad experience at this casino and hotel.

Great experience if you have the chance to go. It brought back my childhood. There was so much history there. You were able to tough items that other famous actors have touched, like the Studio A door that many famouse actors have passed through and there is a sign that tells you who the actors were.

So much to see! The first part of the museum tells the stories of Lucy and Desi as real people. Their family backgrounds, how they met, how their careers evolved. The second part focuses on their I Love Lucy lives. You learn about technical innovations and Desilu Productions. All done really well. You should allow at least 2.5 hours and maybe a little longer to view everything. One of my favorite things was the reproduction of the living room and kitchen set.

We visited the museum on a Saturday in September. We bought tickets online the night before. You can buy a combo pass for this and the comedy center. We did that and I think it was $43/person for both. I had to select a time online and we arrived before that and did not have to wait. The museum is well done. There is a lot to see and a lot of information about Lucy’s childhood and history, Desi’s childhood and history and their relationship and achievements as a couple. We learned a lot. There is a photo opportunity inside at one of the sets. That was $10 and there is a photographer there to take the photo for you. We don’t do that but saw others doing it. The tour is in two separate buildings but they are close together. Once you go through the one, you just go out on the sidewalk and walk a few steps to the next building. There were no stairs involved. The staff member at check in was friendly. I think we spent about 2 hours here. There is a gift shop in both buildings. We had an enjoyable time.

This has been on our list of places to see for a few years now. My wife and I are both fans of Lucy, and thought a stop on our way to see friends in Buffalo was just the right time, and we are so glad we did. Rememinising about the old "I Love Lucy Show", and learning things about how it came to be and behind the scenes stuff was so much fun. After the actual tour in the building, we went to the cemetery to visit her grave and pay our respects. It was a nice afternoon remembering a television icon, who changes the landscape of broadcasting forever!

Neat place for those who recall I Love Lucy or who love Lucille Ball or Desi Arnaz. Lots of memorabilia and a few videos that add to them. You can see most of the museum in an hour to an hour and a half and including the attached Desilu next door. Street parking is possible when we were there on a Thursday in the Fall and it was free for up to two hours. Some streets have meters though.

Great museum. Definitely need to come again. One of my favorite places I've ever visited.

Loved it!! One side is Lucy and Desi the other side is I Love Lucy! Both with their own gift shops.

Great visit! Very rich with culture and good people! Ive been there since i was (5) at art shows. The art is top notch and well worth seeing and buying.

This was our first visit to the Chautauqua Institute. We went for Week 3 and joined some of our friends from California for the week. We had no idea what to expect - and even after the first few days, we were still taking it all in. This gated community has a rich past with hundreds of historic buildings and homes right next to Chautauqua Lake. We enjoyed a lot of the activities that week - from lectures and concerts at the Amphitheater to plays at the theatre to a steamship tour around the lake on the Chautauqua Belle. We looked forward to our morning walks along the lake and up and down the streets to look at the lovely homes. The only thing we didn't like was the hotel we stayed at - the Spencer Hotel & Spa (which I also reviewed). We've already reserved our room for next year at the Athenaeum Hotel.

Beautiful place with good acoustics for shows. Parking is $20 and quite far away but a shuttle is available.

An artsy, upscale, well-maintained and self-contained village in the countryside beside Ch. Lake. Many activities available in the busy summer season, but we appreciated quiet walks on uncrowded paths in the fall off-season. Very leashed-dog-friendly. Leisurely 12 mph speed limit is not always adhered to in the off season.

Last weekend I was the guest of a friend at the Chautauqua Institution to hear conservative pundit Jason Riley, who is originally from Buffalo, went to my Alma mater - University of Buffalo, sits on the Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal and is a Fox News contributor. I told him before he signed my book, that I disagreed with him on somethings, Jason's response, ".. are you sure you want me to sign your book?". It's been a quite a few years since I've been back, but the place looks the same. What's different, I got the impression that some people felt that they didn't have the freedom to have, or hear certain thoughts in certain venues on the facility grounds. A week later, a world famous author who I've met before, did security for, Salman Rushie, that has spoken in Buffalo was attacked in the very venue that I enjoyed a religious service. The irony, his intended conversation was to talk about freedom of speech in the United States of America. Our country, unfortunately, is so polarized presently, that it's almost impossible for people to just listen to one another. I was invited out to dinner recently, place of my choice, I picked Hutch's. I was told we couldn't go there because the owner supported Trump and gun rights advocates. What does that have to do with a good steak? If the person is not preaching hate, nor advocating violence , people have the right to believe in what they want as long as it doesn't infringe on your personal rights. If we can't have a coffee, or medium steak and sensible conversation- agreeing to be disagreeable, nothing but problems lies ahead for our country🇺🇸

Very grateful to have had the opportunity of attending this program. As a student of the program though, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the housing given to us. Prior to writing this review I found a bee walking across the floor of my dorm, despite the windows being sealed shut. This prompted me to question the insulation of the dorms, considering I've found numerous other bugs and spiders. Furthermore, we paid an $800 fee for the air conditioning to be installed this year, of which we were the first year to have this privilege. However, the AC broke three times within the first two weeks of my stay here, and remained broken for days at a time. Good luck doing laundry here! There are 4 washers and 4 dryers for the ballet, art, orchestra, and opera programs. Totally unreasonable. The dryer also doesn't work and I've had to dry my clothes three times just to get them at least damp. (Each cycle costs a dollar btw) So in total I spent $21 alone on laundry which is frustrating as a college student who is trying to save money. Also, the food within the institution and in the dorm dining hall are nothing exceptional. I ended up spending a lot of money on eating out at restaurants because the dining hall made me sick at times. And if you would like to doordash, you can't without looking for your driver for ten minutes because of how strict the gate pass policy is. Highly recommend coming here with a car if you are a student. Was also disappointed with how the musicians were treated during the ballet and opera cycles. We were cramped into a tight makeshift "pit" because the real pit had flooded this winter?? So instead we risked banging our tens of thousands of dollar instruments against each other for the sake of an opera cycle which was thrown together on a whim. Another great feature about this institution is nothing is open after 11 pm! And there is no food to be found after 10 pm. The food itself is ridiculously expensive for what it is. The coffee gazebo is extremely mid and costs at least $9 for a latte that is 3/4 milk and 1/4 espresso. Really liked the instruction and learned a lot here, just really disappointed with how they treat the students. Multiple students had injuries here with how much they treat us like workhorses.

We were pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful surroundings of this quaint village. The grounds are exquisitely maintained. We were at the pavilion to see the Jurassic Park movie with an orchestra. The pavilion is very nice. It’s quite a walk to get to the Pavilion from parking so be prepared. The walk is beautiful. It feels like you’re walking in an old time village from yesteryear. Next time we will take more time to explore. We will definitely visit again.

Great little hiking spot. Plenty of parking. After a quick safety brief from the staff and signing a waiver, we walked into the hiking area. Well maintained trail. You can stay on the main path or choose to make your way through the crevices and over the boulders. Basically, you can make your own trail if you wish. Had a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

Panama Rocks is beautiful. There is a one mile path that is cut and preserved to safely walk and enjoy the trees and wildlife. The best views are off the beaten path where you will have to tread more carefully, but you will find caves, rock formations, and cliffs. It is only $10 to see all of this and what you get is worth much more than what you pay. There is also a gift shop and large camping area. The folks overseeing the parks operations are very kind and informative. They were advertising for a large festival in October when I visited today. I recommend a visit to this place to get away from it all and to see nature as it it is meant to be.

Really cool place, similar vibes to Allegany's Thunder Rocks but with more opportunity to explore little caves! Takes about 1.5 hours to leisurely complete. Found a pretty redback salamander, and in summer they have red efts (juvenile eastern newts). I got this really cool anthro red eft mascot sticker to add to my amphibian sticker collection, so as a thank you, here are my best DSLR photos here. Let me know if you want any in higher res to use (with full credit given)! What's the kitty's name, they look like Smokey the Bear!

Panama rocks was a fun experience for the whole family. We had a great time and we could even bring our dog. It was very beautiful and we enjoyed it. It was an amazing hike and we had a lot of fun. The rock formations were really cool and interesting.

The rocks are interesting but I found the resilient trees growing on the sides of rocks far more interesting. Reminded me of Thailand. The trail is a little sporadic and I thought the signs for formations were a little early on the trail. I walked the trail and got my fill in less than an hour, but you could spend longer here.

The experience was great! I would go again. My son loved it also. It's not a huge place but what was there was really cool to climb and walk through.

Omg we had the best time scrambling over giant ancient rocks. Panama rocks is like a giant rock climbing playground for adults. Explore as much as you want at your own risk.

The entire staff is beyond exceptional, absolutely five stars.When it comes to the staff. We have stayed here before and we're seeing all the little improvements that they keep doing to keep this place fresh and relevant. The rooms are gorgeous and very clean. We are already planning our next.Trip here. We enjoyed many of the amenities, especially the indoor outdoor hot tug, the pool, the fitness room, the golf course. We came off-season. So many attractions are only available on the weekend. Like the spa, the adventure line.

What a fantastic place this is. It’s a time capsule from days that are unfortunately long gone. The property is aged but well kept. The food at Bistro 210 was really great (we had the brisket reuben), and the bar has great atmosphere, and really cool layout. It is a beautiful property tucked away in the farmlands. Plenty for everyone to do. My wife and I were there for an overnight. We ended up staying and walking around the property for a few hours after. Such a cool vibe. We live 5 hours away in Michigan, and we will be back for a long week for sure. We had a great stay.

There are a lot of good things about Peek'n Peek. Then there are things that are aggravating. The aggravating things? The $30 resort fee. It is a rip off. We were asked if we were going to use the pool and amenities. We were not. The rooms are clean but extremely dated. The toilet is too close to the floor. The carpeting is clean but worn. I absolutely hate carpeting in hotel rooms. The good things? The staff is fantastic. Very polite and professional. The staff in the bar/restaurant are excellent. The food is outstanding. I just love the bar area. Very comfortable seating and good drinks. We were there for the, "Wrust party ever." It was an Octoberfest type party with beer samples, a lot of beer samples. Very fun. The large German band was outstanding. Just excellent. One huge problem? Not enough seating. We had to eat standing. There was enough seating for perhaps 30% of the people attending. That was a big drawback. It would have been nice if they had Octoberfest style tents in the back. I wasn't the only one complaining about it.

My daughter and I stayed for 2 nights for a mini spa vacation before going back to school. The Inn, spa and Adventure Park were understaffed - but they let us know in advance and modified our reservations with no added cost. We were not able to get pedicures so we brought all of the stuff with us to do them ourselves. We did a session in the salt therapy room, purchased some therapeutic bath salts for the jet tub in our room, ordered room service which was super fast and delicious and spent a spa evening in our room. The dry cranch chicken wings were amazing (we're from Buffalo NY and we are chicken wing fanatics)- very crispy, juicy and salty which is what we like. We ordered garlic butter on the side for the wings just to try too, and I put a little on the the brisket mac and cheese (which was already delicious) but I did really like the kick of flavor it added. The pool area(s) are awesome. The fitness center is a little outdated but far, far nicer with more equipment than most inns and hotels. The Adventure park was fun as well. All of the staff were exceptionally helpful and very nice.

I attended an event at the Peak last Saturday. I must say that it was one of the best events I have attended this year! They did a fantastic job with the theme and festivities. I can't wait to attend next year's Wurst Party Ever! Special thanks to the staff members Victoria H, Brittany C, Frankie, and Haille for the professional services during our stay!

Did not stay over but went for Fall Fest. Omg how gorgeous it is there! The food at the festival was delicious, great band was playing, many wonderful vendors. Just a beautiful place to visit. And I rode the ski lift. Great views!!

Stayed for 2 nights to celebrate our wedding. This comprises of doing the all the offered activities such as put put, rope courses etc etc. as well as dining in at the Bistro. We chose this facility as we have been a solid Patreon of the Ski slopes during the winter season for many years as well as playing many 18 holes at the Upper Course during the golfing season. However, Both my wife and I were very disappointed with the quality of the Presidential Suite (Tiffany Suite) during our stay to commemorate our wedding. The shower fixture needs major deep cleaning from all the calcium build up and the same goes to the shower glas enclosure. The most disappointing part is the jacuzzi which was the main reason we went for this particular suite. As soon as we turned on the jets, orange scum started coming out and floats to the top. We tried using towels to clean it up but ended up not being able to utilize the jacuzzi out of disgust. And here is the main kicker, we found a MUSHROOM 🍄 growing out of the grout line. I must not be alone when i say that we all much prefer a cherry on top... Hold the mushroom... We had notify the issue and was told a manager had been notified and they will get back to us the next day. Well, we waited until check out time and was not approached nor reached out by anyone. Very disappointed considering it cost almost $700 just for the room during our stay.
