One of the most unforgettable experiences of my life! Skydiving from 13,500 feet at Parachute Montreal was absolutely incredible. The entire team was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely safe from start to finish. The instructors were experienced and explained everything clearly, which helped calm my nerves. The views were breathtaking, and the adrenaline rush was unreal. Their service is top-notch—100% recommended for anyone looking to try skydiving!

It was an amazing experiance. My instrutor was Charlie who cared a lot and provided me an enjoyable safe jump and landing. I strongly recommend everyone to try this and enjoy it. It was an incredible best moment of my life. I will see you guys again. Thanks with a warm hug. 🤗

I had a freaking amazing time here! It was the most thrilling exhilarating experience of my entire life and I owe it all to Parachutisme Adrénaline! A huge thanks to Lionel for being an amazing instructor for my first jump ever and making sure I felt safe and got the full experience! He even taught me how to fly the parachute! Major thanks to all the staff for being so warm and friendly! I will 100% be back next season! I’d literally give this place 10 stars if I could! :)

Amazing experience! First time doing a tandem jump, my mom and I chose the regular option and the free fall is so worth it. We did wait about 4 hours from the reservation time as mentioned on the site, but I'm glad the weather turned nice enough to be able to jump without cancellations. Huge thank you to Johan (hope the spelling is right) for being so friendly and making sure I was alright at all times, and to Ariel for making a great video despite my awkwardness 😅. Ready for round 2!

Most incredible experience of a lifetime!! I jumped with Yannick and could not have been more happy to have him!! Vincent was the videographer/photographer and I am so pleased with the results of the video and pictures. Definitely worth the $$$ for the whole video/picture package!!! How they do it and get the most amazing shots of the jump is beyond me!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I highly recommend them

Very satisfied. Great place best instructors...YES I WILL RECOMMEND THIS PLACE

Most incredible adventure and experience specially with my instructor Alex, he was super nice and expert, I had an amazing day with the team, highly recommended.

This is a money-grab spa! I purchased a one-night stay for two people at the hotel, which offered access to the spa for $250 through Tuango. Check-in was at 4 pm, and check-out was at noon the next day. Most of the spa facilities were dysfunctional or closed. They only opened a small hot pool that looked dirty and one steam room with very weak steam that only worked after 20 minutes of waiting inside, and even then, you didn't even sweat. And an aromatherapy room with one oil diffuser you can hardly smell, the one you purchase from a pharmacy or a supermarket. Their bistro was closed, although they told me it was open one week before my arrival. We had to drive to town to eat. They gave us two breakfast bags to put in the fridge for the following day. The bag had one box of juice, one cold banana bread, and an energy bar. The room was clean, but the furniture was ancient. Two tradesmen were working in different areas with ladders and tools. The place looks like a construction zone. They need significant renovations. Don’t waste your money there!

The good: The bed was amazingly comfortable. The service people inside the building--reception and bistro were exceptional and the food in the bistro while simple was very good. The paths between buildings were well cleared of snow. The bad: Our room was unbearably cold and the interior walls were even damp! We were told the room hadn't been used in a week or more and the heat turned off. It was -15C outside! With the fireplace on and a supplementary heater from reception, it still took four hours to reach a comfortable temperature. The next morning, the wet sauna didn't come on (we got staff to check it out). The jets wouldn't start in the waterfall pool. Except for the waterfall pool, there were no hooks to hang up robes at the saunas or the other pool. The dry sauna floor had a fold that was a trip hazard and broken off hooks inside. The snow wasn't cleared from the chairs or the whole deck in front of the bistro. We could have put robes on the chairs given the lack of hooks. I won't go on but it was very disappointing. We had been here before Covid and loved it. In summary, the place is in need of simple maintenance in many areas.

Went for a 2 day spa getaway. Stayed 1. Check-in was at 4 PM. Gave us a tour of the facilities. Spa itself is VERY small (more than 6 people are it's uncomfortable), everything else (sauna, massage, thermal spa, feet detoxification) closes at 4 PM. So we returned to our room. No TV, no microwave. Nothing much to do in the area (it was in mid March so I am aware that we were in-between seasons), room floors were wet. Walls are paper thin. Hear everything that's going on in the hall and the floor above. Staff however are courteous and friendly. If you're looking for a spa...this place, unfortunately, isn't it.

Horrible nightmare. The bed sheets were dirty and smelled bad. We had to hold the knob to drain the tub water. I think I caught an infection from the hot tub too. We found a wet roll of toilet paper on the bathroom shelf.. Very unsanitary conditions. Plus we tried to cancel 1 hr after booking and they wouldn't let us. Read the fine prints and don't expect anything to be included. Breakfast is not included either. This place is not the same. Not worth it anymore.

We spent the night there, the rooms were cute, very relaxing however most of the services they present are actually not ON so for example the salt room, Siberian sauna or infrared sauna are off and it takes a good hour for them to be running so you don’t get to really use them properly. Outside the receptionist, the staff was quite annoyed that we asked questions about where different facilities are at or how they work. They do not have a map or instructions so you need to find everything yourself.

DO NOT STAY HERE. This is the old "Polar Bear Club". We went there in fall'24. Unless they've done major renovations, they should not be advertising as a spa. I am not typically picky, but it was almost comical if not for the price. The jacuzzis did not work, the paint in the hottub was peeling. The sauna was like a small closet/box. "Breakfast" was left on the floor outside our door, I think it was a muffin and an apple. Our room had a vibrating bed that was only a sample from manufacturer, would run for 1 minute, then an ad. LOL PLEASE do yourself a favour and book one of the many lovely places in the area that may even cost less. I was reluctant and waiting to leave a review, but I realized that I need to warn others.

We enjoyed such an amazing place and perfect services . Wonderful place, relaxing spa , we will come back 100%. Thank you very much for everything. Your pools are very gorgeous , spa relaxing , river with beautiful cascades is amazing ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My family and I had a great visit. We were happy to see a zoo, where animals were living in habitats very close to their natural environment. We were able to see a large amount of the animals on a very hot day. Some of the animals were trying to cool off in the shade and we were unable to see them. I am thankful that the zoo has the animals in habitats where they can avoid the rain and the sun if they need it. Great location I would go again. There are also a ton of swings obstacles and things for young kids to play while walking through the zoo. My kids absolutely loved seeing exhibits getting to climb a jungle Jim seeing exhibit getting to go on a swing seeing more exhibits than going through a maze.

This zoo is a well-maintained facility with a thriving ecosystem that prioritizes animal welfare. Many of the animals are rescued or adopted, and the zoo's location is both family-friendly and entertaining. The staff takes great care of the animals and wildlife, making it a must-visit destination.

This place is nice but i feel like some things need to be added to enhance the visitor experience. The one animal we really wanted to see that day was the bear, and unfortunately after around 30 mins of waiting we never saw one. I understand that this isn't a typical zoo but maybe giving out information to visitors about the times each animal is more likely to be visible would be nice. Or offering discounts when some animals don’t seem to be visible for a long time. At the end of the day, yes this zoo is not like other traditional zoos but visitors come mainly to see the animals. We didn’t see a couple more animals but oh well it’s okay. Once again this zoo lets the animals rest whenever they want so it’s okay to not see all animals but maybe having a schedule for the most probable times animals aren't asleep would be good. On another note, It’s one of the best kept animal places I've been to. They really seem to care for the animals. With all the play stations i feel like it’s perfect for families with kids. I personally didn't see one but maybe adding a cafe or a mini snack station would be nice for visitors, if there isn’t already one. Over all, it was nice to visit this place but once is enough. My favorite section was the reptile section. I have never seen so many different species of turtles in one place.

The Ecomuseum has the greatest staff with some beautiful wildlife and exhibits to see. It takes about an hour and a half to see all the exhibits, but my partner and I stayed longer as we doubled back to see some animals like the racoons, wolves, owls, otters, ravens, and lynx. I had no idea that racoons loved to snooze in trees so much! There is also an array of animals throughout the walk that you can see as well; there were cardinals, chickadees, juncos, swallows, and squirrels. This is a trail that you can free-roam, and going on a Saturday morning proved to be very quiet and peaceful. We met an employee on the trail named Natalia and her personality and kindness was greatly appreciated. She ended up sharing some information about local wildlife and the zoo itself before showing us the racoon exhibit. Natalia, along with the entire staff were so friendly and it really meant a lot to us. We can see from their attitude that they truly care for these animals. The exhibits themselves are also very spacious and open. All the wildlife here from what I understand are rescues, and it's comforting to know they're in good hands with a clean, open environment to safely habitate. The zoo also has demonstrations and sessions on specific days, so keep an eye out for that if you ever decide to take a trip there. There's plenty to do for children as there are multiple playground areas and the zoo makes it very easy to gain information and learn about the wildlife in Quebec. The kids who came across our path during our time here were very respectful of the animals, which is great to see as we need more of that. We didn't have as much time to take in the reptile and amphibian exhibit, but from the quick pass we made, they had some beautiful snakes, frogs, newts, salamanders, and turtles. Their gift shop was also very nice with an abundance of selection from clothing to jewelry, and books to art - a fantastic way to support the zoo and raise awareness about the wonders of nature and wildlife. This is an amazing place to visit and a very quick drive from downtown Montreal.

Fun place to visit with kids. The enclosures are large and realistic to actual Quebec environments and the animals seem well treated, although you may have to look harder for them than at the typical zoo. Tickets are a bit pricey for the zoo's size but it remains worth a visit nonetheless.

A great zoo 30 min drive from downtown, the enclosures all seem fantastic. While many animals were asleep I still saw nearly all of them. Even saw the lynxs hunting. Worth the visit and support. Seems like a great spot to bring kids

I went via my work and it was actually great when we have kids , lots of activities for kids every where. Animals were limited, yet they mostly have arctic species. Well, it’s not like a complete zoo rather it’s an ecomuseum. The washrooms were not accessible easily though, as it was only at entrance. I personally enjoyed animal enrichment where I fed a coyote with pepper filled with some flavours . I felt sad as the coyote has only 3 legs yet, he’s been treated with great care .Kudos to the teams 👏👏 We also had an advantage to touch a rat snake and turtle shell in-person that was an awesome experience. Overall, it’s a fun filled for kids for sure. A perfect family trip They have a boutique we were given 15% discount since we went through our work. I personally appreciate all the crew members for explaining me about these animals and their habitats. I certainly learned something today for sure

The conditions for night skiing were pretty good. Lighting is excellent. It was snowing so there was fresh powder over hard packed but lots of mogul because end of day which not good for beginners. This is getting more common in the last few years. Washrooms cafeteria boutique parking and other facilities are good but for ticket purchase there was a 40 minute lineup at 5 PM as 1 booth only was open.

Had an incredible experience at Le Sommet Saint-Sauveur! The online booking process was seamless, and picking up our lift tickets and gear was quick and hassle-free. I absolutely loved their automated card reading system on the mountain—it really adds to a smooth, streamlined experience. The gear quality was excellent, and everything looked brand new, which was a pleasant surprise. Even though not all the trails were open, there was plenty of snow for an amazing first visit this season, so I can’t complain. I’m excited to come back again after exploring a few other resorts. Highly recommended!

Such a well organized ski hill. The hills are challenging and a great ambiance. Also has a food cafeteria that serves variety of foods. Highly recommend Sommets Saint Sauveur.

Absolutely the worst experience at this water park. Their rules are completely inconsistent and discriminatory. First, they told us shorts and a sports bra weren’t allowed (even though nothing about this is mentioned on their website or at booking). Then, we bought clothes for swimming directly from their own shop after specifically asking for swim-appropriate wear. Shockingly, they still refused to let us in, claiming those clothes were not allowed either. Meanwhile, countless other people inside the park were wearing the exact same type of outfits, but since they were in big groups, staff didn’t dare say anything to them. This is blatant unfairness and bias. If you want to run a professional establishment, make your rules clear upfront, update your website, and most importantly, apply them equally to everyone. Instead, this park chooses to harass and humiliate people randomly while turning a blind eye to others. Total waste of money, zero professionalism, and an experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Avoid this place unless you enjoy being singled out, mistreated, and ripped off.

The parc is totally chaos and unorganized. They sell unlimited number of tickets for a day, while their capacity is limited. And when they cannot provide the service for the sold tickets they say you can come back another day!!! Like the parc is behind our house everyday we go and use our ticket. You buy online ticket to not waste your time for staying in line, but here you have to stay one hour in line to get your bracelet for your online ticket!! At 6:30pm they told us we cannot use our ticket for the L'Odyssée du Viking and should come back another day to use it 😂😂.

I was having the time of my life until I sprained my knee! I thought I could get off the hill but I definitely couldn’t! Antoine and Emma came to my rescue and I couldn’t be more thankful! Antoine was so reassuring and nice to me! I was really embarrassed and upset by the whole thing but he made me feel a lot better. The rescue service was 10/10 and very professional! I wouldn’t have wanted to sprain my knee anywhere else 🤣 Thanks so much to both of them!

I ski at Saint-Sauveur at least once every year and it always has been an amazing experience. There’s lots of tracks available with various difficulties. They also have many lifts once of which is a 6 seater. On a sunny day, skiing at Sommet Saint-Sauveur pure fun.

Handmade products, birdhouses, handmade salt and pepper shakers, fresh veggies, maple syrup products, nice wooden furnitures, and antiques. Lots parkings, and a wonderful place to meet lots paw friends!

I use to come here every summer but it has been harder the last couple of years. Finally had a chance to return and the market has changed so much! I prefer what it was like before. More great antiques and less over priced junk.. and I noticed that there is a lot more newer crafty items than past years... Some of the crafty items are super original and really well made. I was truly impressed. Overall, if I compare it to the times I went a few years back, I was a little disappointed but over all I had a pretty decent time.

Nice place to visit on a Saturday and hunt for antiques, get some fresh veggies or even venture into trying delicious Ethiopian cuisine.

Love this market ! Great way to spend a day out of the city. If you enjoy antiques, vintage things, old kitchenware or furniture, handmade products, homemade food..or even dogs (cause they're everywhere♡)... The owners are amazing too. You will love the place! Go check out Pete in front of the cantine. He has an impressive collection of kitchenware and deco !

Found it by accident after having breakfast in the area (Cozy Cafe). Very large free market with some good deals. I would go again (and take more pictures).

Very nice place to go. The view is magnificent. You have lots of stuff to see if you want to go there for the first time. My suggestion, choose early morning because if not you'll suffer from heat. There are lots of nice things to see. The prices are mostly affordable and the people there are extremely nice and easygoing. You'll have fun there.

Can't wait to go back. Today was my first time. I didn't get to see all the kiosks but what I saw I LOVED. This would be a 10 out of 5 stars. Get there early as parking fills up really fast. Wear proper shoes for walking. Bring lots of $$$ YOU won't regret it. There are bathrooms and out houses. Food, gems, and treasurers to be found. When your done take a scenic drive around Hudson qc. Beautiful!

Nice family ski area, with reasonable lift tickets. 1,200 vertical. Lift system is dated, but it helps keep the lift ticket prices down. Good snowmaking and grooming. Nothing challenging for advanced skiers, but it is just a fun area. Skiing the way it was meant to be and used to be, a throw back area and that is what I loved about it. I now ski the west, but Titus is like going back in a time machine to my roots in skiing and that is not a bad thing.

Had the pleasure of attending the 44th Annual Titus Mountain Oktoberfest

Great place for beginner to intermediate skiing / snowboarding! Good size mountain and lots of groomed trails. Not many natural bumps to jump off (my favorite), but the terrain park is great! Definitely worth the visit!

Area was wide and had plenty to do. Staff was friendly and terrain park was good. Wish lifts had rests for your feet but it's not too bad. Make sure to get a good look at the map as it tends to get flat here and there. Overall good I'd recommend.

Great beginner hill for the family. Tubing is great, but need to work out more access or an online reservation system.

Lots of nice trails. Lifts are a little rough and fast , staff was ok, but not so friendly as you would expect from the "most family friendly ski resort"

Brought the family up from Florida and had an awesome experience. Everyone was super kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Ski school was perfect for our kids who never skied before. Had them up and running in no time. We stopped at Whiteface the day before and it was beautiful but super crowded and busy. It would have been very difficult with 2 novices. Overall awesome experience at Titus, we would definitely come back.

Had a wonderful river rafting experience! They took us on about a 20 minute bus ride to the rafting spot, where we were given all the necessary safety gear and clear instructions on paddling and safety. The boat had about 8-10 people plus an instructor who guided us throughout. The whole experience was exciting, well-organized, and so much fun.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Leading up to the event, some of my friends were concerned about the weather so I reached out and the communication was quick and clear. All our questions were answered. Facilities are nice and the whole experience was smooth, we all had a great day! One issue however is some of the jokes felt inappropriate for the crowd (there were kids). In addition, some of my friends didn't feel comfortable with the comments that were made to them. Other than that everything was great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an amazing experience river rafting here! The staff were super friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having a blast. The guides were knowledgeable and kept the energy high throughout the trip. The scenery was breathtaking, and the rapids were the perfect mix of thrilling and manageable—even for beginners. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to add some adventure to their day. Will be coming back for sure!

We did the family rafting. Included a delicious lunch of sandwiches, veggies, and fruit. Lots of opportunities to jump out and swim, body surf, and cliff jump. 4 hour duration. We also did the half day tour, about 3 hours. Lots of fun rapids and hiking. Was able to enjoy the pool, jacuzzi, and showers afterwards. Extremely friendly staff. Lots of fun!!!

Unforgettable Adventure with Nouveau Monde – Jonathan Was Exceptional! What an epic experience! Our day with Nouveau Monde Rafting was nothing short of exhilarating, and the memories will stay with us forever. The rapids were wild, the scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience was incredibly well-organized and safe—yet full of adrenaline. But what truly made it next level? Jonathan. From start to finish, he was an absolute legend—calm, funny, encouraging, and deeply knowledgeable. You could feel his passion for the river and for giving guests the best possible adventure. His energy was contagious, and his leadership turned a great day into an exceptional one. If you're even thinking about rafting in Quebec—stop thinking and book with Nouveau Monde. And if you’re lucky enough to get Jonathan as your guide, prepare for a ride you’ll never forget. Thank you for the thrills, the laughs, and the pure joy. We'll be back for more!

Had an amazing time. Worth buying the photos! It's very safe but can be a bit scary, there are guides watching over everyone and a kayak following in case anything happens. My buddy fell out a few times and he was fine. Some of these 1 star reviews are pretty silly.

We had an amazing experience at Rafting Nouveau Monde! Our guide, Arine, was absolutely fantastic. As the only English-speaking group in our batch, we really appreciated how she made sure all the briefings were done in both French and English so we felt fully included and comfortable. She struck the perfect balance between fun and safety, making sure we had a great time on the water. The hospitality at the facility was also top-notch. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, which made the whole day even better. Highly recommend this place for an unforgettable rafting adventure!

I had been wanting to visit this brewery for a while and finally went and some things were great others a little disappointing. First off the most disappointing aspect is that the brewery was recently acquired by Steam Whistle so nothing is brewed on site anymore, it's all done in Toronto, so you can't see the brewing operation. They did however have 8 beers on tap including this time around the iconic Lugtread, a Lugtread light, a sour, a stout, a red and a few IPAs. All of them were quite good and you can order by the pint or sample in flights of 4. They had several of the bees in cans also so you can take some with you. They also serve snacks and food. They have nice Beau's schwag for sale too including Ts, caps, hoodies, beer glasses and mugs amongst other things. They had a few hot sauces made with their beer and the one we bought was amazing. On the cool side too now is part of the area has been taken over by Dunrobin distillery and you can try and buy their products on-site. They had vodkas, rhums, whiskeys, and gins, etc and the ones I tried were quite interesting. There is a small parking, clean washrooms and In the summer they make an outdoor terrace area.

Beau's is a perfect place to stop for lunch with plenty of interior and exterior seating. They offer limited sandwich options but there are extremely flavorful. A wide variety of uniquely named beers to drink onsite or bring home. A live band entertains some afternoons. You might get lucky and meet Magna, their sweet rescue dog.

Beau's has been my favourite brewery for the last decade. Finally experiencing the brewery in-person was an absolute pleasure. The bar staff were attentive and detailed in their description of the beers, making appropriate recommendations based on my stated preferences. The highlight of the day was tasting the beers which are not widely available (& not sold in any LCBO or Beer Store). I sampled a flight of 4 which included: Night Märzen, Double Juiced, Curse of Knowledge, and Gravity Well. My ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE was Curse of Knowledge. This is one of the best brews I have ever enjoyed! Beau's was unfortunately sold out of this brew (but I can understand why) so I purchased my go-to beer, Wonder Crush. Looking forward to finding an opportunity to go back to see if I can get my hands on some Curse of Knowledge. I highly recommend spending an afternoon at Beau's Brewery.

Came here on our way to Montreal to break up the drive a bit. What a cool stop off of the highway. The staff was very friendly and their outdoor patio is extremely inviting with the vines growing all over it. Our daughter loved the tractors and that she was allowed to play on them. Beer selection was pretty good, though I was hoping for something darker. Their artwork on the beer labels is pretty good, made it pretty tempting to buy a shirt. We got an amber and a Juiced AF. Both were quite good, perfect for the warm weather. I definitely would come back.

Awesome pit stop. Had some food like chips and sandwiches but maybe there is more on the menu. Patio was great. Nice facilities and staff too. Oh and Beaus on tap is 100 percent better than cans in store speaking personally. I can't explain it but their beer in house tastes so fresh.

The beer is absolutely delicious here! Great staff and vibe. Highly recommend.

Today, Beaus. Need I say more? Beau's had us over for a full tasting and experience at their brewery and it was one of the most incredible brew-day I had in a long time. Laura, their taproom manager was so friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and service oriented, she herself made the experience a 5 star one. The products are amazing. Beaus really worries about the quality of the beers they brew and are very cautious about how the whole process in their facilities. The brewery is impeccable, super clean. Their Halcyon Barrel aged beers are very creative and unique in taste. I am so happy I spent the afternoon at Beau's with my peeps. Definitely a top experience I cannot wait to repeat! Thank you Beaus! Thank you Laura! ///// Aujourd'hui, Beaus. Est-ce que j'ai besoin d'en dire plus? Beaus nous a reçu pour une expérience et dégustation complète à leur brasserie et c'était de loin une des meilleures journée-bière que j'ai eu depuis longtemps. Laura, leur gestionnaire de bar était gentille, accueillante, informée et orientée à fournir un excellent service client. Son service a rendu l'expérience une journée 5 étoiles. Les produits sont extraordinaires. Beaus se préoccupe de la qualité des bières brassées et fait prend de grandes précautions tout le long du processus de brassage. Leurs bières Halcyon Barrel barriquées sont créatives et toutes uniques. Je suis heureuse d'avoir passé mon après-midi chez Beaus avec les miens. Définitivement une expérience extraordinaire que j'ai très hâte de répéter. Merci Beaus! Merci Laura! . . #beer #craftbeer #beerstagram #instabeer #beerlover #beergeek #beers #party #cheers #brewery #ipa #beerlovers #drinklocal #love #instagood #beerblog #beergirl #craftbeergirl #craftbeerlife #beergirl #drinkbeer #ladiesthatlovethecraft #beerlove #craftloyal #drinkcraft #goodbeer #beausallnatural #beaus #ontariobeer #ontariocraftbeer #ontario

Nice casino. The table games are limited but at least they have some. Slot machines are spaced well and there are plenty throughout the gaming floor. They also have a bingo hall and a few places to eat so all in all it's a decent casino. There isn't much to choose from in the area so it's worth a visit.

Fun place to lose money. LOL Clean, smoke free casino. The games are newer and fun to play. The restaurants have pretty darn good food at reasonable prices. We go maybe once every month or so just for fun. Never come home flush with cash but always come home having had a great time and with a full belly!

Fantastic place to relax and play. Staff are all very professional, well trained and prompt to provide help or services. Several places to eat in-house and prices are much more reasonable than your average casino. If you get the chance to visit: do not miss out.

We just returned from a three-day stay at Akwesasne Hotel Casino. Originally, we booked for two nights but it was so enjoyable and relaxing that we decided to stay an extra night. We have been Marriott members for more than 30 years however our ADA room was nicer than any Marriott room. It was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Folks at the front desk were polite and cheerful as were the people who worked in the casino. We are supportive of the Native America community and spending time and money at the Mohawk Casino Resort was our pleasure.

Can't comment on the rooms or the service. I lived in Vegas for 15 years and the inside of this place feels like a upper end locals casino. It is clean with a lot of modern slots. It is conveniently located to Montreal, but not any place else. I don't know that I would make the 2 hour trip to go back, but it was fun for the 30 minutes and $140 I spent in the place. Like a said, reminded me of a locals casino in Vegas.

I brought my 83 year old Uncle, drove nearly three hours, got a room and headed to the bar in the casino. We sat down and I noticed several patrons being served before us. I made eye contact with Dione, I believe that's the name on our receipt for two drinks. She saw us, served quite a few more people who just walked up, while we waited to be served. At one point, she walked by and said, I'll be with you in awhile ". She looked miserable and angry. Thank goodness her replacement was much friendlier and Happy!

We drove a hour and a half away for a little get away , While walking to our room in the main casino we noticed that the pool/hot tub area was closed , I called down to the main office and spoke with a young woman who said you should have asked if the pool/hot-tub was open , I myself know the stuff has to be matained but however I feel as if they should have advertised that the pool area was closed for maintance

Very nice beach monitor by life guards. Electric sites with asphalt roads, kept really clean. Plenty of trees and sun sites for RVs and tents. Good fishing spot too. Dump station is a bit inconvenient for the new camp area near the beach but not big deal to make a short detour on the way out.

Beach is clean nice and sandy. Wild life can seen very near to the campgrounds. Trails are easy and lots to see. Nearby nature centre. Eisenhower locks and Power Plant visitor centre. All are equally interesting to visit.

The Massena, NY one btw: Loved going here! So many things to do for free. Fun, learning center, live and stuffed animals, well maintained grounds, walking trails, beaches, picnic tables, a small gift shop/camping supplies, and a playground. You can even bring your dog. Come say hi to Jabba the Toad. I really enjoyed the large aquariums. They have touch and smell stations for kids along with an inside look to a bees hive. A LARGE chess board inside, various sitting areas, restrooms, and a water bottle refill station. Highly recommend

Beautiful beach ! I went in October on a Thursday morning - no charge to enter park . I arrived at 720am and all fields had a solid number of cars; still plenty of parking as there are 5 fields . I parked in field 5 with an extremely short walk to the beach . The beach itself was clean and well taken care of . Some fishermen present . Most people wearing masks . I felt safe and park rangers where frequently making their rounds . No bugs , very windy . got to see deer making their way to the water :-) . Found my first ever sand dollars !! Stunning rocks and plenty of shells as the tide rolls out . Water is dark brown looking . I didn’t have a chance to walk the nature trail / lighthouse but have heard good things . Tons of local there ; all extremely nice & welcoming. Beautiful drive in and out. Highly recommend .

Great post summer camping with only 12% of sites occupied. Beautiful weather w/ 70°s during the day and upper 40s at night. The site 55 that I was in had a side view of ships and barges going into and out of the lock from the west side. Lots of areas to hike, bike or run. Lots of water for boating,etc.

This is will be a long review about cabin 4. We stayed for a week over July 4th holiday. We are a family of 6 with four young boys. I'd say overall it was a fine cabin. Not necessarily clean but also not gross. I had to wipe down surfaces and clean the fridge before I felt comfortable but it was ok. Fridge, stove top (didn't use oven), and sink all worked well. Beds and bedrooms were great. Shelves and hangers and a rod for clothes, shelves by the beds. Bathroom was not great. Floor was peeling up and sink was old. Shower was small and leaked onto the floor but it did have great pressure and hot water! The water tasted awful in the cabin though, not sure why. All the windows had screens and worked very well. Bring fans for the summer!! It gets stuffy in there. I saw some cabins had window AC units too which I wish we had brought. The backyard was so huge it was kind of silly. Picnic table, fire ring with grate, and grill. There was a sewer access in our backyard that sometimes smells quite bad. Just a small view of the water, nothing spectacular especially since the dam was there so it wasn't very pretty. There was a bit of water access but again not much and the current was strong there. There was also a nightly skunk. We smelled it once and saw it twice around twilight which left us unable to enjoy being outside after dark! It was such a bummer. I saw no signs of mice in the cabin and we had only a few flies inside, no mosquitos at all really even outside. Where the cabins are you have to drive to everything within the park. The beach was nice though! Clean clear water, soft sand, plenty of lifeguards on duty who were attentive. It's a walk from the parking lot though which I did not like. Plenty of shade by the picnic tables and playground. The staff were all friendly enough and helpful. We rented a pontoon boat from the marina one day and that was excellent. The boat was brand new and beautiful. Barely used any gas but were out all day. Marina staff was very nice. Overall we had a fine experience at the park but I wouldn't say it was spectacular. Mostly because the views are so encroached on by the dams and the lock. But the water in the river is so clean and clear and it was a good time for our family. I would also say the unique things like the nature center and the lock center and lock really made it a more special trip for us.

Very friendly staff as always. Well maintained apart from a leaking shower hose in one of the bathrooms. The beach was pristine and better groomed than the bunkers at my golf club.

Upper Village Canada is truly a hidden gem. The neighborhood feels peaceful and welcoming, with clean streets and a calm atmosphere that makes it perfect for a relaxing walk. What I really enjoyed was the sense of community—people are friendly, and it feels safe and comfortable to spend time here. There are also some lovely spots to sit, enjoy the surroundings, and take in the charm of the area. It’s not overly crowded, which makes it even more enjoyable if you’re looking for a quiet place away from the hustle of the city. Overall, it’s a beautiful area that combines nature, comfort, and a warm atmosphere, and I would definitely recommend visiting or even considering it as a place to live.

Pumpkinferno at Upper Canada Village is such a fun fall experience! The pumpkin displays are incredibly detailed and creative — you can tell so much work goes into them. Walking through the village at night with all the glowing pumpkins feels magical and festive. It’s perfect for families, couples, or just a cozy fall outing. Definitely worth the drive and the ticket price! 🎃🍂 There’s a train ride for the family for additional 8$ per person. This event runs select nights from October 3 to November 1, 2025. So hurry up if you haven’t gone there yet. 🤩

Visiting Upper Canada Village is like stepping back in time to the 19th century. The atmosphere is both peaceful and lively, filled with the sounds of horse-drawn wagons, water-powered mills, and costumed interpreters who bring history to life. The village is beautifully preserved, with gardens, farm animals, and traditional workshops that make you feel like you are truly walking through the past. What makes this place so special is the way it allows families to experience history together. For children, it’s an incredible opportunity to see how kids their age lived more than a century ago—without screens, technology, or modern comforts. Instead of video games and tablets, they discover the joy of simple play, helping in gardens, or learning how bread was baked in a stone oven. Parents can use this as a moment to reflect on how daily life has changed, and how community, hard work, and creativity shaped people’s lives before modern conveniences. Upper Canada Village is more than just a museum; it’s a living classroom. It offers families a chance to slow down, connect, and appreciate both the challenges and the beauty of the past compared to today’s fast-paced world.

I had a great time at the Pumpkin Festival! 🎃 The atmosphere was festive and family-friendly, with lots of creative pumpkin displays, delicious seasonal treats, and fun activities for all ages. The live music and food stalls added a nice touch, and it really felt like the perfect way to celebrate fall. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it got a bit crowded at peak hours, and did not felt like worth driving from Ottawa. Still, overall it was a wonderful experience — definitely worth visiting if you love autumn vibes and pumpkin everything!

I went with my daughter and her boyfriend. Line went pretty fast to get inside. It took about 45 minutes to walk through with enough time to take pictures. Found a lot of people don’t pay attention if someone is taking photos. A lot of great pumpkin carvings was very enjoyable.

Quite impressive and interesting! We loved to watch the blacksmith, cheese maker, tinmaker, shoemaker etc. at work and to see an historic sawmill in action. Just awesome! The horse-drawn carriage ride was for free and a nice way to get an overview of the area. We were happy that we've dicided to visit this place.

We LOVED the experience. This place takes you back in time, to the 1800s. People that work there were amazing. It felt good to be a bit disconnected from today’s society and see how people lived 200 years ago. The village is well managed and big enough you can easily spend half day just walking around.

Very fun good experience. One of the better « petting zoos » . Lots of things to do. Good way to support the farm is by just taking a self guided tour.

Loved walking on the farm through the fallen leaves. Explored the tropical greenhouse. Explored the various barns seeing farm animals. Flower garden was huge. Beautiful place to take the kids,

The farm is not too far from the city and is a fun and interesting experience. There are gardens and footpaths around and nearby as well as buildings with animals. Plenty of educational materials and friendly staff. There is a playground and interactive museum that is very child friendly. Nearby there is a shaded area with several picnic tables ideal for large group visits.

Nice place to visit. Lots of animals and things to see. There's some interactive things for the kids to do.

You pay to go in the farm area but the gardens are free and very popular for photo ops!!

Great place to visit. They do different things every season. I think spring with the baby animals is my favorite. Great playground in the middle. Always lots to see. If you go at the right time you can see them feed and milk animals. There was a fantastic face painter there today. Also glitter tattoos.

Canada Agriculture and Food Museum known as Central Experimental Farm is a very nice, organized, well maintained farm. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They had an ice cream activity today and a kitchen activity (making strawberry scones). My 4 children and I enjoyed our visit! Horses, cows, lama, poultry, ducks, rabbits, and much more! The farm also includes a park with a play structure, picnic tables and washrooms. Paid parking is available as well. Safe and sanitary with sanitizer stations and some water stations as well. Lovely and interesting place to visit with your children!

Very nice place for kids. Very interactive and lots of things to see for everyone. I personally love the otters and the beaver! There is also a free ropes course within the building. If you have little kids, an adult should be with them since they can't attach themselves by themselves. Make sure you aren't afraid of heights! The planetarium was also great and interesting for older age groups.

Nice place! But honestly, it’s a bit overrated. Sure, it’s not bad, and probably fun if your kids are under 5, but the price still feels quite high, especially for an adult ticket. On the bright side, the otters were super cute and active, and the beaver was really entertaining! Though I have to say, I felt a bit sorry for the beaver — its enclosure seemed cramped, with just a small pen and a tiny one-metre-by-one-metre pool. So yes, there are things to see, but I’d say it’s more of a one-time visit… or best if you’re five:)

This place is awesome!! I visited this weekend with my 4 children 15 to 6. They all had a blast. I myself was amazed and learned so many things. I love the hands on experience touching the stars and the shells and learning about them. There are games as well and presentations, a pirate ship, cord climbing etc. In the main entrance, there are multiple games for the children and a souvenir shop. Aquariums were fantastic with a wide variety of fish, shells, separate ones for otters, a beaver, turtles, a snake etc. Entrance was about 26$ per adult and 21$ for children 3 - 15 years old. Paid parking available underground or outdoor parking. Washrooms were clean. Staff was great and super patient and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this place! Definitely worth the visit!!

The Aquatarium at Tall Ships Landing offers a unique waterfront experience, nestled within a condo complex. While the admission fee of $26.25 for adults and $21.20 for children (3-17) is on the pricier side, a full-day pass allows for return visits, making the otter feeding a highly recommended way to maximize value. Younger visitors will find plenty to engage them, from a large ship climber and interactive water power displays to well-maintained aquariums showcasing local marine life and a supervised touch tank. Although the beaver feeding was a bit sleepy, the highlight for many, including myself, is the captivating river otter exhibit, featuring three to four playful residents. The gift shop offers standard souvenirs. Staff are notably friendly. While a pleasant visit, it didn't quite reach the heights of Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. Several restaurants are conveniently located nearby.

Awesome aquarium and more! It's fishes aren't numerous but they have many other fun and interactive activities. From watching the beaver do tricks and eat to watching the Otters playing and get fed. There's an indoor suspended wood obstacle course, slide in a ship, target launchers, make a weather broadcast with costumes ans so much more! If you like drawing and technology, color in a robot and see it come to life on a big screen. You can touch some sea creatures, like star fish, sea slugs, crab, etc. A fun place for all ages!

It was so great, I almost want to gatekeep this little adventure spot! Visited with 4 and 1.5 year old kids. We went for the otters, and also loved the interactive water tables, Port of Johnstown exhibit, touch tank, animated sandbox, aquariums, and amazing staff. Before we'd even left, we were talking about getting membership to visit on repeat! Looking forward to visiting when the kids are older too so that they can enjoy the ropes course, green screen newsroom etc.

Super cool aquarium. Come through this town twice annually, wish I knew about it sooner. Otters were excited when people walked up to their enclosure, which was also very large and well made. Definitely worth a visit if you like fish and animals.

Our visit to Mrs. McGarrigle's Fine Food Shop in Merrickville, Ontario, was a delightful experience. The shop is a treasure trove for anyone looking to indulge in quality goods. We picked up some British goodies, which brought a taste of home to our kitchen, along with a selection of beautifully crafted soaps, an apron, and a stylish tote bag. One of the standout aspects of this shop is the incredible selection of spices, oils, and vinegars—not to mention their impressive array of mustards. Each item is carefully curated, and it's clear that the shop takes pride in offering only the best to its customers. The name "Mrs. McGarrigle" sounds like a character straight out of a Harry Potter novel, and that would make sense given the magical experience this shop offers. On top of the great selection, the storekeeper is the nicest and most pleasant person you could hope to deal with, making the shopping experience even more enchanting.Whether you're looking for specialty foods, unique kitchen items, or just want to browse a charming store, Mrs. McGarrigle's is definitely worth a visit. It's a must-stop destination for anyone in Merrickville.

We wandered into this wonderful shop full of surprises. Oh the mustards are fantastic! and made local. Chocolates, teas snacks galore ! Its a must drop in while in Merrickville....

Very nice shop with so much selection from amazing mustards to cheeses, home decor, jams, spices, chocolates, cooking and baking tools... Take your time to browse and don't miss the upstairs selection as well. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Great selection of unique products. I find it difficult going in this store without buying something. Always something new to try out.

This charming shop offers many treats and gifts for yourself or the foodies in your life! There are 2 floors of epicurean and locally made delights: award-winning mustards, jams, soup packs, and sauces... and so much more. Plus utensils, pottery, drink mixes, beautiful kitchen towels, aprons, imported chocolates, and gift sets that would be the perfect gift... a feast for the eyes!! Merrickville is a lovely village, just 40 minutes from Ottawa, great eats & shopping

A nice shop with a variety of foods and gadgets. You're bound to find something you like. Like the way it is decorated and laid out, lots of different seasonings, and mustards.

Awesome little fine food shop with award winning homemade mustard and many other unique finds!

Beautiful vineyard to sit and enjoy friends and family. Amazing views of the hill. Selections of wine, cider and sports!

An absolutely perfect place for a wedding (or any event for that matter). My son recently got married there and I can’t say enough as to how the staff went above and beyond to make it a beautiful day. He and his fiancé live in Brooklyn but wanted to be married at the winery because of its fantastic views and beautiful grounds. They were able to work with him long distance and create the exact experience that he was looking for. The staff was knowledgeable and professional. They were able to help him secure vendors and worked well with all the people involved. Highly recommend this hidden gem on the Tug Hill plateau.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tug Hill Vineyards. We visited Tug Hill Vineyards in our RV as a guest of the Harvest Host Program. The venue was very nice with a restaurant and a wine tasting room with an comfortable outside patio. There was a wedding happening the evening that we arrived, and it was fun to watch as a spectator. We tried several flights of their wines and enjoyed a tasty charcuterie board. In the evening we moved our RV from the upper parking area to the U-Pick orchards where we had a spectacular view overlooking the wide valley, and marvelled at the ginormous wind turbines. We had a very peaceful and restful night. and in the morning it was fun to watch the Amish families in their horse drawn buggies heading down the valley roads on their way to Sunday meeting. I wish we could have stayed later to enjoy their Sunday Brunch. A truly wonderful stay.

We went for their "Wizard Brunch", it was great! They had a brunch buffet with plenty of sweet and savory options. Scrambled eggs, bacon, spicy shrimp, shepherds pie, an oatmeal bar, fresh fruit, oven poached eggs with hollandaise sauce (my favorite), etc. They had a seasonal drink menu that went with the theme. Everything was hot and fresh.

If you're in Upstate New York make this a must stop!!! Well worth the trip! Sampling includes wine spirits and brandy! Something for everyone!

This place is me and my husband's favorite Sunday Brunch spot so far. If you go on a nice day, you can even see a very nice view from your seat. Their menu is a little different each week. So before you go check their FB! And also we took a wine tasting & food pairing class once, and it was a so fun!

Our family has a tradition of spending Christmas at a cabin in the woods in the area. We found Tug Hill Vineyards on TripAdvisor and saw they offered a special Christmas brunch. We called and reserved a table for 12:30 seating. We could not have been more impressed! The dining area was beautifully decorated for the season. The service we received was excellent. And the FOOD! They offered everything from poached eggs to beef tips. My favorite was the butternut squash ravioli, while my wife loved the special Tug Hill vodka bloody mary. Our son enjoyed the fresh fruit and the fantastic desserts. Everything was prepared with care and tasted delicious. After brunch, the wine cellar was open for tastings. If in the area, this place is certainly more than worth a stop.

We had a beautiful day for a boat ride to Boldt Castle, and it did not disappoint! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The Castle itself is breathtaking — it’s been preserved in pristine condition. I didn’t see a speck of dust or dirt anywhere. It was so nice to explore at our own pace with the self-guided tour. Tip: Once you pass through Customs but before your ticket is scanned, grab one of the program guides available in both English and French — it really helps you navigate and learn about each area. The Gift Shop is also a must-visit for a great selection of souvenirs. Walking through the Castle was a humbling experience. It’s incredible to see the love George Boldt had for his wife, Louise — keep an eye out for the heart motifs throughout the décor. Wherever he could, he included them, and it adds a really touching layer to the visit. This tour is best suited for adults or interested young adults. There isn’t much to engage children under 13. Overall, I highly recommend making time for this excursion. It’s a perfect blend of history, romance, and stunning views.

When you go online to buy the tickets the very short ferry from the yacht house (where you park the car) to go to Boldt Castle (which is on its own island) is free. Do not be scammed by hotel people saying you can get a discount if you buy the tour. Unless you want to do a tour of the other island and go up and down the water. Otherwise the $32 entrance fee to the castle includes the yacht house, the ferry and the castle. All self guided. Download app to listen. The upper level still are not complete, but renovations are planned. The low levels and some rooms on the second level are renovated and looked really nice reflecting the actual blueprint. The grounds are gorgeous flowers everywhere, and beautiful colorful plants. Every window you look out of in the castle you can see a view of the water, which is amazing. You do get to go to the unfinished upper levels just to see what things look like, but really not much there. A small gift shop on the second floor… relatively moderately priced items. A nice way to spend the afternoon. I think the entire thing took maybe around two hours. Parking is also free. You do have to walk on gravel from the parking lot to the yacht house. So if you have walking disabilities, please note that it’s at least six 700 yards away. You can buy tickets online and save the QR code for each ticket purchased. The little fairy that goes back-and-forth from the castle comes every 15 minutes. When you’re at the actual castle, there’s a very small store that sells things like hotdogs/hamburgers if you are hungry. A very lovely home and will definitely be returning in the future to see what other renovations they have.

We visited Boldt Castle and the Boldt Yacht House on June 29, 2025, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the views of the St. Lawrence River from the castle are absolutely stunning. We took our time exploring each floor, and the restored rooms and historical displays gave us a fascinating look into the Boldt family’s story and the castle’s unique history. The Yacht House was a surprise highlight – the collection of historic boats and the architecture itself were impressive, and the staff there were friendly and knowledgeable, answering our questions with genuine enthusiasm. We enjoyed walking around the docks and seeing the craftsmanship of the old wooden boats up close. There is plenty of space to wander, take photos, and enjoy the river breeze. It never felt crowded, and we appreciated the relaxing pace. The ferry ride to and from the castle was smooth and added to the experience with scenic views of the islands. If you are in the Thousand Islands area, Boldt Castle and the Yacht House are must-see attractions that offer a perfect mix of history, architecture, and natural beauty. Highly recommend spending a few hours here to take it all in.

It was so beautiful!! The staff were extremely nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. We even came upon a proposal at the shell fountain and she said yes! They looked so happy. The boat ride is very short and the docks easy to navigate. The paths are kept clear of debris and the map was easy to follow. I would highly recommend!!!

This place was so amazing. Every single staff member was so sweet. It was just breathtakingly beautiful!!! The gardens, the inside, the outside, you could easily spend an entire day here! My only complaint was that the gift shop was kinda lame. I definitely want to renew my vows here in a few years.

We visited Boldt Castle in the summer, and it was beautiful. We loved the landscaping and the architecture, but the true story behind the "home" was heartbreaking. Walking through the castle felt like trespassing in a shrine to a life that never got to be lived. If you're a Downton Abbey or Gilded Age fan, you don't want to miss this one!

Such an amazing piece of history to visit and story to learn. They have restored a good portion of the castle and other buildings and the grounds are also beautiful. What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful summer afternoon. We were lucky it was not too busy and were able to appreciate the beauty of Heart island. We did a 5-hour excursion from Rockport which included a 3 hour stop at the island. Well worth it!

Great historical location and delicious cake donuts with cinnamon and sugar. Fresh Apple's and apple cider. Cute waterfall and photo locations.

We just absolutely love the burrville cider mill decided to come over here this morning everything is always so awesome and fresh best donuts In the world best apple cider in the world everyone should go here. Just absolutely everybody for everything they have, everything you could ever want from all kinds of apples, apple, cider, cheese, curd, homemade, everything, pies, cookies, cakes, candies and cute gifts of all kinds. This place is so great.

They make the best cider in the north country and their cider donuts are exceptional! The store itself has so much to offer and the waterfall out back is beautiful! We local Northerners look forward to their opening every year and they are always busy, especially weekends. If you’re in the area during the fall I highly recommend this as a place to visit. You won’t be disappointed.

My daughter and I had the opportunity to visit here this weekend and when I tell you this was the best Apple Cider and Slushy I have ever had it’s an understatement. The fudge and doughnuts are great too! Definitely worth the visit. The view out back is beautiful too

Apples! Line was long but moved fast. Donuts didn't last long at our house either. Cider is delicious- thank you!

Cute place but it's really just a gift shop. I expected to see cider being made but there's nothing to see but the waterfall. Our family of 9 bought several donuts and other treats only to stand outside and eat them near the parking lot. We saw several places that there could be picnic tables. Don't know why there aren't any.

If you’re a native of Watertown, you know this is the best cider on doughnuts on the planet. Amazing family run business. The best part of fall is visiting the cider mill.

Visited mid-week so was very calm and pleasant. The heat kept most animals in the shade staying cool, but some were active nonetheless. Never seen a black bear so close, and one of the zookeepers was playing with the wolves. He'd run back and forth by the cage and they would watch him and do it too! And the otters....! I could watch them play all day. They actually seemed to ham it up for a camera, lol. Can't wait to come back here!!!

Fun little zoo. My wife and I were visiting with no kids. Keep in mind Its a small zoo. While you wont see any monkeys, camals, giraffes, hippos and animals like that, you will see Bobcats, wolverines, bears, elk, goats, eagles, and some reptiles. Admission was only $12 which I felt was fair for what it is, and was well kept and we enjoyed the walk. Deducting a star due to the butterfly house (didnt actually see any butterflies in there) and the petting zoo being closed. Wasn't a huge deal for us, but I could see it being disappointing for families with children. We didnt check out the park that its actually surrounded by, but looks like you could spend a nice day there and I noticed walking paths and playgrounds.

Small but we knew that. A gorgeous day. Very well kept up. Wish all the animals had companions. Took our time. 2 hrs seeing all the local animals. Sci tech bldg was cool. My hand magnet was off the chart! What does that mean..lol! Always see and learn something different. Always buy a gift for the kids and donated. Thank you. Great, friendly staff. Prayers for the sweet animals that we saw. Not the best pics but I tried.

We enjoyed walking around here very much and seeing the local animals of the state. My favorite would be the Wolverine and the otters. Canadian Lynx were great too.

We’ve been members at Zoo New York for two years now and between the zoo itself and all the events they have it’s well worth the price if you live in Watertown and have young kids. We come at least once a week most of the year. My only complaint is that the Halloween things they put up for most of October are way too scary for young kids. I just wish that it were at least set up in a way that you could avoid the spooky things when walking around the zoo, especially since it seems to me that most zoo attendees have pretty young kids.

This little zoo and science center in Watertown, NY, is an absolute gem! People can be unfair expecting a big-city zoo, but this place has a calm, pleasant atmosphere that’s perfect for families. The kids love visiting the science center, and the butterfly garden was a delightful addition. The wolverine was an adorable little show-off, and the otters were playful and engaging. We also never miss a game at the giant chess set—it’s always a hit with the kids. It’s not huge and doesn’t have many exotic animals, but it’s educational, welcoming, and easy to explore at a comfortable pace. Many of the animals are rescues—injured or unable to survive in the wild—so every visit has a meaningful side. There’s also a playground, and we stumbled upon a black currant bush—such a fun little find, and the currants were delicious! Just across the parking lot is a pool and splash pad, with another playground and a city overlook up the hill. It’s the perfect spot for a full day of family adventures. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Watertown!

Cute zoo, but more then half the exhibits were empty. I still think it is worth going and supporting. The grounds were also kept very nice.

Today my partner and I went on a double date with our mutual friends to the Windward Restaurant (the restaurant attached to the casino). I’m new to the area, so it’s only my second time dining at the Windward. The prices are super fair for the food quality and portion size. They have a moderate selection of food with lots of comfort food choices. Their selection includes pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, salads, appies, and a few other items. They have a large selection of cocktails as well. Additionally, our server Mark W. was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and had great timing. He would check in with us at all the right moments without feeling overbearing. Overall, I would say this restaurant is a hidden gem and a must try if you’re visiting Gananoque, ON.

To: Management, Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands Subject: Formal Complaint – Unacceptable and Unprofessional Experience on July 20, 2025 Dear Shorelines Casino Management, I’m writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment with the unacceptable level of service I received during my visit to your Gananoque location on the evening of July 20, 2025. I have been a loyal patron of your casino since the day it opened. Over the years, I’ve witnessed a steady decline in both the professionalism of your staff and the overall customer experience — but what happened during my most recent visit crossed a line I never thought I’d see in an established gaming facility. At around 7:30 p.m., I approached the cashier’s cage to cash out $125 in chips. I waited for over 12 minutes with absolutely no staff in sight. Eventually, I noticed a sign saying someone would return at 7:45 p.m. — meaning a single guest, at the end of their evening, is expected to wait 15 minutes (or longer) just to cash out. This is not a corner store — it’s a casino. And leaving a cashier’s cage unattended during operating hours is not only unprofessional, it’s absurd. When I flagged down a manager — a woman with dark hair and heavily tattooed arms — her response was equally appalling. Rather than apologizing or making any effort to assist, she became defensive and dismissive, telling me the cashier was on her 15-minute break and that they “don’t have the staff.” I told her I had already been waiting nearly 20 minutes, and that this was simply unacceptable — to which she offered no solution, no accountability, and certainly no professionalism. Let me be clear: it is not the customer’s responsibility to adjust to your staffing shortages. And it is not acceptable for a guest to wait half an hour to cash out, only to be met with attitude and excuses from a manager. If this is how your leadership handles a simple service breakdown, it’s no wonder the experience at this casino has deteriorated so badly. The message this sends is loud and clear — your staff’s time matters, but your guests’ time does not. That is a fatal flaw in any service industry, let alone one that relies on customer loyalty. After decades of visiting your casino, I will not be returning. I hope you take this feedback seriously, because what I experienced was not just poor service — it was a complete failure of basic operational and managerial competence. 0/10 D-

I recently visited this casino, and I’ve never had such an unpleasant experience. The security guards, Jay and Nicole, were extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Instead of ensuring guest safety or providing assistance, they seemed more interested in trolling guests and making snarky comments. What’s worse is how contradictory their behavior was to the casino’s own policies, which are clearly posted on the signboard at the bottom of the front desk. The board states that guests will be treated with respect and that all concerns will be handled professionally. Yet, Jay and Nicole did the exact opposite — dismissive, rude, and completely lacking in customer service skills. When I tried to address the issue or speak with a manager, I was met with attitude and zero accountability. It’s disappointing to see employees who act above the rules the casino itself claims to enforce. If management truly cares about their reputation, they should retrain their staff or reconsider who represents their brand at the front line. Until that happens, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere — and I suggest others do the same.

Went here with a friend and the vibe isn't what it used to be. They seem to be missing key features to attract people. Before there were buffets available, more tables open and when it has more patrons, the place becomes more upbeat. We went to one in Ottawa and it was night and day in comparison.

Had a wonderful dinner and gambled! Walked out with extra money and a very full satisfied tummy! Spent the night in our rv, very quiet area. Thanks for a terrific evening😊

a terrific casino and entertainment center. it's always a good time. the staff are super friendly and courteous. the place is always neat and tidy. the security team keeps everything in order. a great vibe here. we had our emotional support dog and she respected the place while being quiet and sitting or laying down

A completely controlled casino, with zero chance of winning on slot machines (bonuses don't even pay you half of what you've bet) or on tables (the machine that shuffles and deals the cards), plus very few tables open (only one table for 3 players playing doubles) and stifling heat inside. It's supposed to be on the highway and a pleasant stop, but it’s a complete disaster experience.

Nice area to walk around and get a history lesson. Parking was a little confusing, didn’t really see the signs in front of the building until we were walking up.

Picture yourself enjoying this view on a breezy summer afternoon, walking around a cozy harbor. Seagulls flying, sailboats off in the distance, and plenty of space to enjoy your own experiance. Lots of history, the walking path is easy to negotiate, and a variety of parking is available. Truly a Hallmark experiance.

Beautiful park overlooking the harbor. Some historical building and small museum, alas, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

We have always loved the charming construction if Sackets Harbor but never took time to explore some of its unique historical sites. We were impressed by the guided walkway that led you on a self guided tour with beautifully detailed maps and signs about the historical facts of each location. There was a "secret" trail down one side that led to a hidden rocky beach and 'sea caves' as dubbed by my niece who enjoyed adventuring along the rocky outcroppings with the dogs looking for "treasure" haha. All of the monuments were thoughtfully plaved and respectful. The walkways made it an easy path for anyone who may struggle on more rigorous hikes. There were plenty of benches to stop a d admire the scenery and views of the lakes and islands. We just wish it hadn't been such a rainy day but we still enjoyed our spring explorations.

I haven’t taken the tour since I used to give the tour in the late 90s, but the view is beautiful!

If you're looking for something to do and enjoy little bits of history knowledge or even just a nice scenic walk, this place is quite nice. I'm not huge into history but it was rather nice learning about all that happened right here! I'm a little bummed that we didn't look more at where horse island was but it was neat learning about all of it. It's a nice walking path around and the view on the water is lovely too! Stroller friendly!

Nestled along the scenic shores of New York's historic landscape, Fort Sackets offers visitors a breathtaking backdrop for memorable experiences. During my recent visit, I was immediately enchanted by the captivating sunset that graced the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky. It truly stole the show and left a lasting impression. While the sunset was undeniably the highlight of my visit, I couldn't help but wish for a more immersive experience within the fort itself. The walking path, adorned with informative signs indicating the location of various points of interest, provided some insight into the fort's history. However, I longed for more tangible remnants of the past to explore and engage with. Nevertheless, despite the lack of extensive fort exploration, the panoramic views offered from Fort Sackets are unparalleled. The serene beauty of Lake Ontario stretching out before me, coupled with the warmth of the fading sun, created a truly magical ambiance. It's a place where time seems to stand still, inviting visitors to pause and appreciate the natural splendor that surrounds them. While Fort Sackets may lack in-depth historical immersion, its enchanting sunset vistas make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike. Whether you're seeking a tranquil spot to unwind or a picturesque setting to capture the beauty of nature, Fort Sackets delivers an unforgettable experience.

The park people are knowledgeable of the history of the fort. My grandson and cousins lived being able to walk the ledges around the fort and go down into the underground parts. Beautiful views.

Fort Ontario is a unique star shaped fort located in Oswego, NY. The original fort was constructed in 1755. The fort was the site of many battles in many wars including the French and Indian War, American Revolution, and the War of 1812. The fort would continue to be used as a military base of sorts all the way until the end of WW2. During WW2 the fort took in nearly 1,000 refugees who were escaping the Holocaust. Today, the fort is a New York State Historic Site. For a small fee you can take a self-guided tour of the fort. The fort has a small, but interesting museum on its history through the years. After seeing the museum you can walk around the star shaped fort and visit nearly all of its buildings. The houses and barracks in the fort are well preserved and presented as they would’ve looked in the mid-19th century. The fort has very knowledgeable historical reenactors as well. On top of the well presented history, the fort also offers great views of Lake Ontario. Near the fort on Lake Ontario you can also see a historic lighthouse. Views of parts of the city of Oswego are also possible at the fort. Overall, this is a great historic site to visit. The history here is well presented in an engaging manner. Being able to walk around the fort with its nice views is an added bonus. The fort is an awesome place to visit in Oswego

I don't want to knock it because it was closed thanks to the government shut down. We enjoyed a walk around the fort bur would like to come back in the future to actually get in. Our trip was planned and booked well before the shutdown so just unfortunate timing for us.

Fort Ontario is a stunning historic gem! Watching the Syracuse Symphony perform there last night was magical—perfect blend of history, music, and lakeside charm. The acoustics and setting were fantastic!

You can walk around the exterior of the fort and read about the history for free. There are also picnic tables overlooking the water. There is a nice view of the lighthouse as well. It's great that they have preserved this piece of local history! I stopped over while the fort itself was closed but I would love to visit again to learn more about the history.

This is a beautiful place to relax, to walk, and to fly a kite! Their ghost tours are amazing too! There is such a beautiful view of the lake, especially at sunset. The museum and artifacts are really cool. Be sure to come support this amazing Fort!

If you like history this is a wonderful place to visit. I've been there several times, they dress in period clothes, host reenactments, share the early American historical facts as our country was shaping. There is a small cemetery off to one corner, ask about anything - the staff is very helpful in answering. Great place to bring the kids - especially so they can learn a bit about our country.

absolutely delicious everything!!! of course their cider and apple products are fantastic but their cheeses and pastries of other fruit varieties are so utterly wonderful. 10/10 recommend. also hosts great events on the grounds and supports local vendors. will definitely visit again ❤️

This is my husband's favorite doughnut spot. If your timing is right, you can get freshly made, hot doughnuts on the weekend. Of course, they have tons of other great things as well. Landscaping and bedding plants, abundant produce, and great cheeses to name just a few.

We stopped at this farm market recently on our way home from Oswego. They offer a large variety of items for sale in a somewhat compact space. Besides a large selection of fruits and vegetables, they also have baked goods, ice cream, fudge, honey, maple products, spices, packaged nuts, a variety of vinegars, bird feeders and bird seed, dog foods and dog supplies, house plants, lawn & garden decorations, canning supplies, wind chimes, craft beer supplies, and on and on. They also have an on-site nursery with outdoor plants and shrubs. Something for everyone, and I'm sure I left out some things. Prices were a bit high for a number of items, but that's probably not unexpected. They offer a large parking lot with lots of free parking. A fun place to shop and browse. This property is located on a curve, so pulling out into oncoming traffic as you leave may need some special attention.

We absolutely love stopping here on our trips to our lake house. It is a must! The bakery treats and amazing. The cheese - top notch. Plus all of the fun options for snacks (trail mixes, candies, etc) is second to none.

I met up with my family at this must stop farm shop overflowing with mums, pumpkins, gourds, corn, produce galore and so much more! This is a genuine farm experience, the pumpkins are the largest I've seen for sale this season and the mums are in full bloom in brilliant colors of all kinds! My son enjoyed fresh baked goods and apple cider. No one left empty handed! We headed over to the Fall Jamboree and enjoyed the festivities there as well! Tasty steak sandwiches, Mac and cheese with bacon from the bbq food truck and Wine Slushies from Ashley's were all delish! Pumpkin painting, make your own scarecrows, animals to visit, tons of fun for kids! A must stop farm stand and pick your own orchard! Take the hilly drive through the fall foliage to check out this hidden gem! Jam packed with all fall produce and fresh baked goods with the fresh scent of the pies, donuts, cakes, and giant cinnamon buns and much more, wafting throughout this amazing farm stand as you shop! Many decorative items for fall and Christmas season as well! Fudge, nuts, and all the seasonal treasures you can imagine! I left with a box full of goodies. Help was just a little short even early on a weekday but I can imagine it’s been a super busy season. I was going to go back for a bunch of pumpkins but it seemed they were overwhelmed. I definitely will make the drive again! Ontario Orchard is a staple on my list for Fall Festivities! Another great farm stand with pumpkins, gourds, mums, fresh farm produce, veggies and so much more! Fresh baked goods baked on sight. The lines are long on the weekend but they are fully staffed and move quickly or take a ride during the week. It's a nice drive through the hills and this authentic rustic farm has so much to offer!

Awesome outdoor market with alot of fresh produce and locally sourced meats. They have huge gift section and it looks to be seasonal. Nice staff plenty of parking Price are reasonable. They have a large selection of bake goods which are baked on site.

The store was very well stocked with all types of delicious produce and groceries. We purchased some fresh fruits including delicious peaches and cherries, as well as some prepared foods to stock our pantry. We camped overnight in their orchard as guests of the Harvest Hosts Program. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ontario Orchards near Oswego, NY. As noted by others, the beautiful and secluded campsite is about 5 miles away from the store. The very quiet and serene campsite is located between an apple orchard and Christmas tree grove. The parking was mostly level firm grass, and we were surrounded by birds and wildflowers and were treated to a gaggle of turkeys with their chicks the following morning. We were somewhat hesitant about parking in the grass as there were very heavy rains that afternoon, but the grassy parking area is actially very firm with gravel underneath and we had no problems whatsoever parking and maneuvering our 28ft motorhome. Be sure to bring insect repellent as you are completely surrounded by nature. Fairhaven Beach State Park, and the Sterling Nature Center on the bluffs overlooking Lake Ontario are nearby. We had a very pleasant stay, and I hope to be able to return again.

I drive all the way from Skaneateles for this mall, it’s worth it! I feel much safer at Eastview, and I like the stores and accessibility at this mall a lot more than other shopping centers. It’s easier for someone with mobility issues to get around or find places to rest here.

Nice astonohere, bustling with shoppers but not overcrowded at all. Many unique clothing stores, and an overall nice variety of stores/shops. This is a great mall! Stores for everyone in the family, from Lululemon, torrid, pac sun, fabletics, to the Lego store, minioso, an arcade, and a huge Dick's Sporting Goods! Many food options as well! Very well kept, and very open and clean! Staff was friendly. A plethora of parking. And an easy shopping center for anyone with a mobility assist sevice. I definitely recommend this mall!

We love this mall! Plenty of stores, great staff in the stores, and each store was easy to locate. The LEGO store was great and the decorations were beautiful. The food court was great as well. We did spend at least a few hours at this mall for shopping and had a great time. Worth coming here for some Christmas shopping!

I was impressed with seeing a functioning mall that seemed to attract all walks of people enjoying themselves. The seating areas were set up to allow people to relax and invite people to do so. I saw many families enjoying the carousel and spending time together. It seemed like a very safe place for people to gather and enjoy themselves.

We came on the Halloween kids parade th t u the Mall. All the shops were very festive and such friendly staff.

Eastview is convenient for all my shopping needs as far as gifts, clothing and even optical. I'm seeing more businesses coming back to the mall and even a new kids play center. Dick's Sporting Goods has a real handle on catering to the public as well. I'm sure the mall will be packed over the holiday's as well.

Malls in the USA may not be dead after all. Visited this one yesterday. It was active, vacancy was low, and the stores were of the better end of retail. There were even teens milling about like days of yore. Leads me to believe that there may still be hope for retail shopping in this country. Eat that Bezos!

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 is on the smaller side but it was still a great visit! The animals look well cared for. Being it was November, things were bare and there wasn't as much going on, obviously. I'd be interested to see what it looks like in the summer months. I was actually only here for a conference, and the zoo and being able to walk through it was a definite perk!

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 😖

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.

It was exhausting visiting these vessels on a 90+ degree day in Buffalo, but well worth it. Fortunately, they allow you to leave and come back at your leisure so we were able to tour the first ship, leave to get much needed refreshments, then return to finish the self guided tour. There is so much to see that it took about three hours and we still ended up skipping by some exhibits. Shorts and pants are best with comfortable footware to navigate all the narrow, steep stairs, small passageways and openings. Kudos to everyone who takes care of this park and these vessels to allow us to experience this part of history in such a beautiful setting.

Super cool opportunity to tour on board a naval ship and submarine. Like a walk back in time. Fantastic historical viewing. The volunteers working have impressive knowledge. The submarine is def tight and small in some sections while walking through. Educational and interesting!

We visited the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park during our trip to the U.S., and it was truly an unforgettable experience. As visitors from India, we were amazed to step aboard real American Navy ships and learn about their rich naval history. Walking through the USS Little Rock, USS The Sullivans, and the USS Croaker submarine felt like stepping back in time—it gave us such respect for the brave men and women who served. The volunteers and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They patiently explained everything to us and shared many interesting stories about the ships and their missions. Their passion and knowledge made our visit even more special. The museum inside is very well organized, with displays that highlight different aspects of military life. Even though we come from another country, we could deeply relate to the spirit of service and sacrifice that the park honors. The location by the Buffalo waterfront is beautiful—perfect for a stroll and photos after the tour. We highly recommend this place to fellow travelers, especially families from India or abroad. It’s not just a museum—it’s a meaningful experience that stays with you !

This was the best experience. We toured 3 navy vessels and walked through the memorial honoring those lost in battle. We highly recommend this activity. The volunteer guide expressed this to be the largest naval site for tourists located in the Midwest. We walked through the site in 4 hours.

Awesome spot to check out the US Navy ships! It's a permanent exhibit, but if you wanna go inside the ship and submarine, you gotta grab your ticket by 4 pm. You can see them from the dock anytime, though. Pretty cool !

It's a nice spot for a memorial to those lost at war. It was closed for tours while I was in town, but still had plenty to look at. I didn't see pics of the Huey in reviews I scrolled through so I made sure to include some.

I had a genuinely enjoyable walk through the area, made even better by the perfect weather — pleasantly mild, with just the right amount of sunlight. The scenery was captivating, especially the sight of battleships and a submarine docked nearby. I even spotted a helicopter overhead, which added a dynamic touch to the experience. The combination of military history and peaceful surroundings made for a memorable outing that felt both relaxing and visually engaging.

Canalside in Buffalo is a wonderful spot to spend an afternoon or evening. The area is beautifully developed with a scenic waterfront that’s perfect for a relaxing walk. The views of the river and boats create a peaceful vibe, especially around sunset. The Buffalo & Erie County Naval and Military Park is a highlight, it’s fascinating to explore the historic ships and exhibits. Whether you’re just strolling, grabbing a bite, or enjoying some quiet time by the water, Canalside is a must-visit when in Buffalo.

Title: A Perfect Weekend Getaway from Canada! 🇨🇦➡️🇺🇸 Buffalo was the perfect road trip escape from Ontario! The drive was smooth and crossing the border was quick with friendly officers. We loved the mix of history, local eats (shoutout to the original Halal Food Places!), and great shopping deals at Walden Galleria. Loved the Visit to Canal side, me being the love for Air-force, knowing the history of World War ll was a great experience. People were warm and welcoming, and parking was easy downtown. A peaceful yet fun getaway—Buffalo surprised us in all the best ways. Definitely planning to return soon!

Great afternoon trip down to the waterfront. Take a history boat tour. Visit the naval museum and gift shop. Grab a hot dog and icr cream cone or a Tim Horton coffee and stroll the boardwalk. Hop on the carousel and take a step back into childhood. Make sure you stop by the "waterway of change" exhibit. Its free and very informative.

We were planning a half day for Buffalo before our flight and this was our favorite stop. It’s actually very nice here. As we were driving around we weren’t sure what to expect. But this area is very clean! It has the BUF sign for pictures and has military ships and beautiful views. Definitely worth a stop while in Buffalo!

As we visited to Canalside is a testament to Buffalo's resurgence, blending rich history with modern attractions. Whether you're interested in outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, or simply enjoying the waterfront, Canalside offers something for everyone. Its ongoing revitalization and diverse programming make it a must-visit destination in Western New York.

Short visit but met some nice people. Everything was clean. Giant sandbox for kids. Floating tiki bar, kayaks for adults and the war memorial as well as some more Erie Canal history. Official end of the Erie Canal. I made it!

While on vacation, we had time to take a walk and Canalside was a perfect destination with views of the water, decommissioned naval ships, military memorials, areas to relax and more. It's a well maintained space in the city for families to gather. We were there early in the day so it was pretty quiet.
