Fantastic wines! Whatever your preferred taste, you will find it here. We love their dry whites and reds, but if you prefer sweet wines they have that too. The Riesling is wonderful, as is the Grüner Veltliner. Also, don’t miss the Bayou Blanc! An amazing collaboration with Voodoo Brewery that has a fantastic hoppy nose. The staff is the best! Lori, Chris and Geri made us feel right at home.

My wife and I are Brazilian and we had the honor of finding a silver wine that pays homage Brazilian word "Saudade". SAUDADE means “the grateful memory of someone, some moment or something”, As for the taste of the wine, it is exceptional! Truly excellent!

Very negative experience with purchase of wine making supplies from them. I placed 2 online orders in July. Received a small portion of supplies by mail. Never received most of the supplies, including tester ($605.99), testing kit ($95.99) and some more and for 2 months I am trying to get a refund from them. Do not ever buy from them. Very irresponsible people. They don't care about even checking what they shipped, what they didn't. Ignoring customers is their attitude.

The people are so nice, friendly, and helpful - Sam and Lori are awesome. Their Eskimo ice wine and Blushing Heron (concord + Niarlgra blend) were so delicious. I ordered a few bottles.

Great little winery. Really enjoyed the wine selection. Staff was very knowledge on the selection of wines. I enjoyed tasting the pepper wine very unique

Do not buy from this company! We ordered grape skins about a year ago, we paid for the order online in full and then were informed the product was on back order. After we paid. Months went by and we were told it was still on back order. Last spring we called and asked for a refund, they told us they would mail a check. Weeks went by, we called a couple more times, check is in the mail. By midsummer without a refund we called again for a refund. This time the same person claimed they had no record of our transaction! We talked to her a dozen times! So they basically stole over $200 from us. Do not order anything! Horrible!

Don't order from this place!!! I have been holding off on a review for almost a year now. That's how long I have been waiting for a $200 refund on a product I paid for and they never provided. To this date I am still waiting. No one returns calls, no one knows how to issue a refund, no one is taking responsibility for stealing my money. Bad business! Bad customer service! I will post this everywhere.

Visited 6 winery’s this day on a guided tour, and by far this one was the best. They were busy but everyone was taken care of in a timely manner. Their food was good. Anyone who complains about it not being family friendly or having limited menus, ITS A WINERY.. they serve alcohol!! (Don’t bring small children while you’re out drinking. ) Our group purchased over 30 bottles of wine to bring home. It was a wonderful Adult experience. We celebrated my grown daughter’s birthday and everyone agreed that Arundel Cellars was the most enjoyable part of our day.

Nice location with a view of the lake and the vineyards. There is also a train line running close by. Wines we tested were ok. They have both red and white wines. Did not know they had food also but we did not try it since we had already eaten lunch. Pleasant service with a smile and lots of inside and outside places to sit.

This is the worst winery we have ever been to. We stopped in for lunch. And the chicken salad was pretty good. The wine was terrible. Since we wanted to eat our lunch outside we were told we had to drink out of plastic cups. I don’t like to drink any wine out of plastic cups, but I don’t complain. Every single winery allows grown adults to drink out of wine glasses inside or outside. Never again.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere wraps around you like a favorite sweater—warm lighting and a layout that invites both intimate conversation and celebratory laughter. The decor blends rustic charm with modern touches, giving off the kind of energy that says, “You’re exactly where you need to be.” It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time—in the best way. There’s a buzz of life without the chaos, and the staff seem genuinely happy to be there, which makes all the difference. Whether you’re on a date night or catching up with friends, this spot hits every note just right. There’s a nice variety of wines to choose from so you’re likely to find something to please everyone in the group. Not a wine drinker? No problem! There’s plenty of beer choices to pick from. The food has great, fresh flavors with nice sized portions. Did I mention the outdoor courtyard has a fantastic view of the lake with live music playing on some nights? We met up with friends here and had such a great time together. Would highly recommend and will be back next time we’re in the area!!

Arundel Cellars and Brewing Co. was a perfect stay, as there was plenty of parking for our large 46’ rig. The scenery was lovely, the host was great, and the drinks were excellent. The hostess had to close the establishment early, so we didn't try the food, but that didn't hinder our stay, as she gave us notice once we arrived and parked. Ensure you pull in at an angle, as the entrance has a slight slope.

Wonderful setting especially in the summer Great food and spectacular bar staff The wine is on the sweeter side but not all Their Chardonnay is the best PA Chardonnay I’ve had, not “buttery” very fresh The grüner veltliner was my favorite rivaling those from Austria

This place is great! The girls working the bar are wonderful and so personable! Even with a bus load of winos, they took time to explain the beer/wine, were patient, and inquired about us and where we were from, etc. Although I didn’t have wine this trip, I know it’s good. I got a sampler beer flight and glass of my favorite beer as well as the turkey pesto panini and the pricing was decent. My husband shared the nachos with my toddler (kid friendly place) and they seemed to like it too. They have nonalcoholic options. It’s a really cute venue for photos and has an outdoor are with ample parking.

An excellent wine tasting at Heritage wine cellars. To start it is beautiful inside the building. It is decorated beautifully. Be warned there are some steep steps to go up .

Stopped here for live entertainment, which is available every Saturday from 3 to 6 during the summer. We enjoyed a bottle of wine on the back deck while listening to soul music by Jessica Royer, singer and guitarist. We had a very enjoyable afternoon.

Very knowledgeable! Tiffany and Dina in mill creek mall were super helpful and fun! I had great conversations with them and left with two bottles of some of my favorites! Loved the combinations they introduced me to! I will be back!

I first tried their wine at a wine and music festival more than ten years ago and have been wanting to visit for about as long. Finally did and am pretty happy. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a wine there that I didn’t like. They are all light and fresh. You can tell there are no artificial flavors in their fruit or specialty wines. If I lived nearby, I’d be buying their wines often and exclusively. My rating is for their wines. The atmosphere? My rating would be about a 3/5. The person working was so nice and easy to talk to. He told us all that he knew about the wines and the area, and recommended that we come back in the summer to enjoy the deck. It is a very large building, which is great, and the deck is also huge, but it is very rustic and dark, making it feel like a really old dive bar, but maybe that’s the vibe they’re going for. A more modern rustic look and, at the very least, a good scrub/cleaning would make the interior so much nicer, in my opinion. Entering through the deck is so much easier.

Love this Rustic winery, super nice staff, wines are great, and complimentary samples.. One of my favorite wineries in Northeast 🍷❤️

Ivy gave us an amazing experience because of her exceptional customer service! The facility is gorgeous, rustic, and full of history. It's well maintained, clean and warm. We tried some of their many wines and had such a great time! Ivy was knowledgeable, fun, had great people skills, and provided information about the facility and about upcoming wine trail events that we're now interested in! We had a great time chatting and learning from Ivy. Ivy is a valuable member of the Heritage team and she adds so much to the PA wine culture, hospitality and tourism industries. Thanks so much Ivy, we'll remember fondly on our experience here with you!!

This winery is okay, definitely rustic, the staff is friendly, the wine is okay, honestly it’s just kinda boring - nothing going on, nothing to do there, no entertainment, etc.

Patty was absolutely outstanding as a server! So friendly and welcoming! The wines were excellent as well! I loved the Chocolate Temptation wine! My friend, Gina, and I will definitely be coming back!

Is an awesome place, very pretty and comfortable. Service was exceptional and Patty was a joy to speak with sharing info on wines and just connecting. She made the experience that much better and the wine so yummy! Thk u! 💖

OMG great wine .. bought 3 bottles and can’t wait to have some shipped home .. Patty was great .. And into the mix other patrons were great company .. Ben and Christin it was great meeting you .. definitely a return trip ..

I have been to this winery a few times, great wine, and it was one of my favorite places, until this weekend. We had a group of 11 on a small bus for my bachelorette weekend (not all drinking) and we were met at the door with “we don’t take busses, you need a reservation” which okay, I get that, and they did end up accommodating us after we asked the lady if we could go outside to sit. (They were not very busy, maybe 2 groups of 2-4 people). Upon entering, my mom told the lady that this was my favorite winery and that we were here because I was getting married and the lady said “I’m sorry”. Who says that to a bride?? It left a bad taste in my mouth and I couldn’t even enjoy my wine flight knowing that we really weren’t welcome there. I don’t know if I’ll be able to come back to Willow Creek after being met with such negativity and unwelcomeness.

Cute local winery. We stopped by on our way through the area. We made a reservation ahead of time just as a precaution. During covid the winery is doing a lot to keep everyone safe. There are sand sanitizer stations at the front door for everyone to use upon entering. There is indoor reduced capacity and bar stools are spaced out. No outdoor seating when we were there. The indoor space isn’t too big but the tasing shouldn’t take anyone very long. Definitely good to call ahead for a reservation in case it’s busy. Everyone must wear a mask until they are seated and the staff wears them as well. There are plexiglass shields at the bar as well. There were a lot of wine options to choose from. I am not usually a huge NY state wine fan but I found a few that I liked and even found some to take home. There are enough options that there is something for everyone. There are 2 tasting options for $3 and $5 which include some generous samples and a snack to cover the current food requirement. The $5 option includes a glass to take home. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend coming. Good wines, and beautiful grounds.

Great wine, great atmosphere. Friendly and accommodating, this winery is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy.

Easy to find the location, and easy to find parking and entrance. Very friendly tasting staff. Very nice tasting room with plenty of space. Several varieties and blends, mostly sweet, to test. All were great! Their dessert wines were where they really shine, and have been voted among the best in the area.

Port Colborne is a great place for a day trip. The promenade area is nice to walk, enjoy watching cruise ships on the lake, little cute shops, cafes etc. Later, take a history walk in this town covering areas of friendship trail, old fashioned bridge, downtown, railway marine museum, well land canal etc.

We stumbled onto Port Promenade via TripAdvisor. It's a nice small port with a cool looking bridge (that is remotely controlled). The water is calm and there are plenty of quaint shops along the port/pier. Grab some fish and chips or some small treats and walk along the port.

Port Promenade is a great place to visit in Port Colborne, It was an excellent location to spend and enjoy time with family and friends.

Port Promenade is a charming waterfront walkway along West Street, offering scenic views of the Welland Canal and a front-row seat to passing ships. The promenade features benches, flower beds, public art, and easy access to local shops and cafés. It’s ideal for a relaxed stroll, people-watching, or pairing with a visit to nearby Lock 8 Gateway Park. Seasonal events and markets add vibrancy in warmer months. Clean, accessible, and well-integrated with the downtown core—this is Port Colborne’s social and scenic heart.

Was a great place... very peaceful and quiet. Got boats, transport ships and street shops. And a diner that has the best blueberry pancakes in Canada 🇨🇦

Lovely to see ships pass by! Small town shops and restaurants near so you can get an ice cream and enjoy the view.

Beautiful spot to sit and enjoy the view and a coffee

Safe, clean, beautiful, regulated. Clean bathrooms/change rooms Paid parking ($5/hr) with a short walk to beach. Paid life jackets. Dog zone (Beach rule: must be on leash at all times)

Great beach.. been to other's in the area, but they had horrible bugs, and the water smelled, so we kept coming back to nickel ., It never disappointed

Nickel Beach is one of Port Colborne’s most popular summer destinations, offering a wide sandy shoreline and drive-up beach access (seasonal permit required). The shallow waters of Lake Erie are warm and ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, or relaxing with family and friends. Portable washrooms are available, and food trucks occasionally visit during peak times. While amenities are basic, the convenience of parking on the sand and the laid-back vibe make it a favourite for locals and tourists alike. Best enjoyed on weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds.

Beautiful beach/ lac , still can’t believe this is in Canada. However get ready to pay 60$ for parking, oh but if it’s too much you can go to cedars beach and pay 35$.

I recently visited Nickel Beach in Port Colborne for the first time, and I was absolutely blown away by its beauty and tranquility. This hidden gem offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and family-friendly amenities. The sandy beach is expansive and well-maintained, providing plenty of space to relax, sunbathe, and play. The water is clean and refreshing, making it ideal for a swim on a hot day. What stood out the most to me was how dog-friendly the beach is! I brought my dogs along, and they had an absolute blast running around and splashing in the water. There are designated areas where dogs are welcome, ensuring everyone has a great time. Parking was convenient and reasonably priced, and the facilities were clean and accessible. There are picnic areas and plenty of spots to set up for a lovely day by the water. The atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, with friendly locals and fellow visitors enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Whether you're looking for a serene spot to unwind or a fun place to bring your family and pets, Nickel Beach is a fantastic choice. I'll definitely be coming back soon!

August 2022 5* This is our first visit to Nikel Beach and I am already planning to visit again. The most important thing, Reservation is must specially on weekend. You will not get entry otherwise. Will cost around $50 per car. The beach is super clean and water is clean. Best sand (white) I saw in Ontario. You can enjoy swimming and water support with kids. Make sure to carry your tent and umbrella as there is no natural shading. You need to have some space. There is permanent toilet on the beach but have installed porta toilets. I did not use them so not sure if it was clean. The sand dune can be high for car at certain point and your vehicle can stuck if it is not 4X4. Don’t get panic and feel free to ask help or remove little bit sand before moving vehicles.

Parking is extremely pricey. We came at 5 pm and only gave us one option. $35 which is ridiculous because nobody would be staying here until midnight anyway. The overwhelming sewer smell as you walk closer and closer to the beach. Water looks dirty. The sand is nice but that's the only good thing about it. I wouldn't waste money again to come here. We brought the kids to do splashtown on the lake and were given 2 different times it closes. On the website it says it closes at 7pm but when we got here we were told 6pm. They have one inflatable boat that takes you there or you have to swim to it. Not worth coming here in my opinion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have been been to a number of Frank Lloyd Wright masterpieces around the NE including Falling Water and Polymath Park. I have to say, Graycliff was my least favorite project. First, our docent was mildly annoying but whatever, she was knowledgeable and probably works for free or nearly free. The grounds were under construction and had to park in the mud as there was no space. Porta potties on site, smelled and were leaning over. Gates and dust all over... in my option just fully close it and finish visitor center and do repairs on maintenance on HOUSE duriing downtime. The grounds and exterior elevations of the house are impressive but the interior is stoic and depressing. Boring, lacking any charm or impact just looked like any old cottage I could buy. Upstairs is easily the most drab, horrible string of spaces of any hour tour I paid for. Small, cramped and all the flair of a medium security prison. The grounds are in shambles, huge weeds and trees obscure any lake view they reference evey 5 mins. Overall, it appeared run down, shingles, paint, rot, warped wood... even FLW didn't care about his Graycliff renos after clients changed aspects.

Mike C our tour guide was personable and knowledgeable. This Frank Lloyd Wright space is a little different than some of the other typical ones you may come across on tours, but just as viable and interesting historically as well as design aesthetic. Definitely must see for many Frank Lloyd Wright fan.

For now, by appointment only, but they're building a new visitor's center over the next year, so that should be great! Wonderful how it is now though and the Docent was extremely nice and informative. Definitely worth the visit.

A must see for Frank Lloyd Wright fans. Sited on a beautiful lakeside lot, the house is currently mostly empty with a bare minimum of furniture to show the rooms’ potential. Many design details typical of FLW including custom windows, oak built-ins, and beautiful views from each room. Volunteers who clearly love this place offer guided tours, so reservations are a must. Though still in the throes of a multi-million dollar restoration, the grounds are exciting. There is no lake access. Definitely worth the drive from Buffalo.

We had an amazing docent who was very knowledgeable about the property. I was more intrigued by the history of the property, its ownership and how it came to be, not that it was designed and built by a famous architect. The stories told by our docent made it come alive and I could feel the history and presence of tranquility that the owners achieved and must have felt when they enjoyed their summers on such a marvellous property. We will be back again and cannot wait to see the annual changes with the restoration efforts of dedicated volunteers and new visitor center next year!

A walk along a visionary legend this is a incredible tour. A guided tour that passes along a lot of information on Frank Lloyd Wright his work and life. A must when visiting the western area of New York

Our tour guide, Marion, was a wealth of knowledge. Having seen the Martin House the day before, and knowing some background of the family, this was a natural next stop on our trip. What a delightful contrast, just 20 years or so after the completion of the Martin House. Shows the tastes of his wife, Isabelle, with the wonderful, light feeling. Although the visitor center was under construction, it didn't impact the tour. Wonderful visit!

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

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

Such a lovely surprise near the lakeside beach — a fun little activity for kids! Our kids had a blast. It’s just 5 cents per child, and you can donate whatever you feel like. Such a sweet gesture for the community! 🌞💛

Date of visit: June 28, 2025 A Magical Ride Through Time in Port Dalhousie Step into a piece of living history at the Lakeside Park Carousel, a beautifully restored LOOF treasure that’s been delighting visitors for generations. For just 5 cents a ride, you can hop aboard one of the hand-carved wooden animals and enjoy the charm of this century-old masterpiece. The craftsmanship is stunning, the setting by the lake is picturesque, and the ride is pure joy—whether you’re five or fifty. It’s a popular spot, but don’t worry: lines move quickly thanks to the efficient and friendly staff. A must-visit for families, history lovers, and anyone who appreciates a little old-fashioned magic.

Timeless treasure in the Niagara Region. Many beloved childhood memories here and I am delighted to return as an adult. Everyone can enjoy a piece of history with the Lakeside Park Carousel – and please consider donating so it can be enjoyed by future generations 🩷

The carousel is right by the beach, surrounded by trees and picnic areas, so it’s easy to make a whole family outing of it. The music and hand-carved horses give it a nostalgic feel, and it’s always well maintained thanks to the city and volunteers. Parking is available nearby, and washrooms are close by in the park. It’s busiest on sunny weekends, but the line moves quickly. Whether you’re visiting with kids or just want a bit of old-fashioned fun, this is a must-see stop in Port Dalhousie — timeless, affordable, and full of heart.

This carrousel I believe is the oldest one in the country. It is iconic and a wonderful piece of history still cost only a nickel and it’s situated at Lakeside Park the popular Rush song it talks about Lakeside Park, beautiful beach, and park and a lot of amenities around there from dining to exploring solid five out of five in Port falhousie would highly recommend once you’re finished navigating around the park you can walk the pier to have a great vantage point of some of the best sunsets around. Great place to visit whether you are a local or a tourist.!

First, I do love the atmosphere of the place. The lights and ambience is beautiful. Last time I was here though was right before covid hit, so things have changed since going back. First I noticed, more eating places and less actually shops. The one place I would shop for clothes at, I see is gone and taken over by the expansion of the casino. Second, one of our main reasons for going is always the buffet. It was seriously one of the best! After walking aimlessly trying to find it, we asked a worker who told us they got rid of it 2-3 years ago. We were crushed... so we left to find a restaurant outside of the building and would come back to play at the casino. Well! The person saw us come into the parking lot and knew we were only there for 15 mins at that. Made us pay the high fee for parking for 15 minutes even after we said we would be back too.... so we had to pay the parking fee twice!!! 🙄 it was really not an enjoyable time, from what it used to be.

Incredible Experience at Niagara Fallsview Casino & Shops! My visit to the Niagara Fallsview Casino in Canada was nothing short of spectacular. The casino itself is stunning—Vegas-style excitement with breathtaking views of the falls right from the gaming floor. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, making tourists feel right at home from the moment we walked in. But the experience didn’t stop at the casino doors. The surrounding shops added so much charm and convenience to the visit: Fallsview Market: A cozy souvenir spot right inside the casino, perfect for grabbing keepsakes. Canada Trading Company: A must-visit gift shop with a great selection of Canadian-themed items and friendly staff. Grand Bazaar Niagara: This place was a hidden gem—beautiful souvenirs and a welcoming vibe that made browsing a joy. Niagara Duty Free Shops: Convenient and well-stocked, ideal for travelers looking for deals before crossing the border. Wine Rack: Located inside the Fallsview Galleria, it’s a stylish spot to pick up local wines and enjoy a relaxed shopping experience. Roots: Classic Canadian fashion with attentive service—great for grabbing quality apparel. Hershey's Chocolate World: A sweet paradise! The staff were cheerful and the treats were irresistible. Canada One: A short drive away, this outlet mall offered great deals and a wide variety of stores. Every interaction felt genuine and kind—locals and staff alike went out of their way to make sure tourists had a great time. Whether you’re there to play, shop, or just soak in the atmosphere, Niagara Fallsview Casino and its surrounding shops deliver a five-star experience.

This review is for the concert venue. I recently went to a fantastic concert here. Every interaction with staff was great, super helpful and plenty of them. The sound system is great, perfect size venue in my opinion, big enough to see great performance, and small enough to enjoy them! Seats are on the large size and they also have cup holders 😃 Beer and wine overpriced like at any other concert venue, 20dls for a glass of wine and 18dls for a beer after tip. Please DO NOT PAY for the overpriced parking they have. There's plenty of parking lots walking distance from this place and at better rates.

From the moment we checked in, Jessie made us feel truly welcome. Since it was a birthday stay for my wife, she kindly upgraded our room from the 6th floor to the 22nd. The view was absolutely stunning—especially at night with the falls beautifully lit up. We were also surprised and delighted by a thoughtful cookie treat for her birthday. The room was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. This was our second stay at the Fallsview, and we’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you for another wonderful experience!

Went to a show at the olg stage to see mark Normand, stand up comedy. Great show extremely funny .seating had plenty of leg room and very comfortable .Good view of the stage .The actual casino was really busy. . Didn't bother with the gambling. Super facility. Recommended.

Didny stay in the hotel but used the casino a couple of times. Lovely staff smoke free and a good selection of slots and table games. Had a couple of decent wins on huff and puff and big win on three card poker. A guy won major jackpot on texas progressive 209k we go to a good few casinos and would come back to niagara just for this. Had a great time. Its been a while since we came out with more cash than we took in!

I recently visited Casino Niagara and had an enjoyable experience overall. The casino offers a wide variety of games, from slots to table games, catering to all types of players. The atmosphere is lively and exciting, making it a great place to spend an afternoon or evening. The staff were friendly and helpful, which added to the positive experience. Additionally, the dining options were impressive, with several restaurants offering delicious meals. However, I felt that some areas of the casino could use a bit of updating, as certain sections appeared a bit worn. Nevertheless, the location is fantastic, right near the breathtaking Niagara Falls, which makes for a perfect day out. I would definitely recommend visiting Casino Niagara for a fun and entertaining experience!

I went on Journey on the Falls on a hot Thursday morning and there wasn’t a wait or any crowds in the tunnels or the elevators. It was interesting to get up close to the falls, especially the tunnel area with a bigger area near the top. I didn’t feel the price fully justified the experience. You won’t get very soaked unless it’s windy, so no need to fuss over a poncho. Overall, still fun, but if you’re on a budget, it’s okay to skip and prioritize the boat tour.

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

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

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

A lovely activity where you can see the waterfalls up close from below, making them even more spectacular. Definitely 5 stars for that. However, since it's really just a tunnel with 3 exits, it's over very quickly. For just 15 minutes of fun, I think the price is a bit too high. I'd recommend the boat tour and the Power Station instead.

Behind the falls was great. I'd say the viewing platform was the best part, as the portholes inside the tunnels, while interesting, were not worth the short-ish lineup. They were basically bored-out squares that had a seemingly solid block of water in front of them, so there wasn't much to see, but that's not their fault, haha.

It’s a really nice Tour to see behind this giant masses of water running down the cliff, make sure you do it when it’s warm because there will be water all arround you. They provide coats that you don’t get wet, the tour it self is not guided I believe and you need aprox 30mins to get it done. Make sure you buy tickets in advance because the lines can get long on a busy day

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

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

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

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

We went to the buffet dinner for $55/person. Expensive but beautiful view, food not so good. The rolls were rock hard, the steak/beef was dry and chewy, the chicken had a strange texture. The desserts were basic and slightly bland. The food was very disappointing especially for the cost. We couldn’t get out fast enough. I think we ate about $5 worth of food. None of us finished our plates. I didn’t want to complain because the help was very nice and sweet and I know they didn’t cook it. I would never go to the buffet ever again there but would try the other restaurant instead. The view on the observation deck was amazing! Really fun for the whole family.

How can you describe a revolving restaurant hundreds of feet up in the air with breathtaking views of Niagara Falls?!?! Outstanding service and food for a relatively good price. This is an experience NOT to be missed in Niagara Falls! My dinner companion and I were blown away!!!!

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

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

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

I've seen the falls a few times now, but this was the first time seeing them outside of winter. Waterfalls are mesmerising any season, and autumn is no exception. Incredible sights, beautiful views, absolutely recommend visiting them at least once in your life.

Niagara Falls is absolutely breathtaking — no photo can truly capture its power and beauty. The sound, the mist, and the sheer scale of the falls make it an unforgettable experience. Whether you see it from the American or Canadian side, it’s mesmerizing. I highly recommend taking the boat tour — feeling the spray up close is amazing! 🌈💦

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

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

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

This Ferris Wheel was awesome. My wife and I always love to go on these for the views. We were not disappointed. The views were incredible. Even though the Horseshoe Falls were at a distance, the view was still amazing. Fortunately for us, the sun was starting to get lower so everything was glowing. The views of Ontario were also gorgeous. Often, rides like this can be quite pricey, especially in popular tourist areas. This one was $15 Canadian which is about $10.50 in US dollars. For that price, we were expecting two loops. We got five. Every time we went around, we gave each other a high-five. Overall, we both highly recommend it.

Riding the Niagara SkyWheel was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. We went during the day, and I can't recommend it enough. Seeing the Horseshoe and American falls lit up in vibrant colors from 175 feet in the air was just breathtaking. The whole experience was smooth and comfortable. The line moved quickly, the cabin was fully enclosed and climate-controlled, which was a nice touch, making it a cozy and peaceful ride despite the buzz of Clifton Hill below. The ride lasted about 10-12 minutes, giving us plenty of time (about 3-4 full rotations) to soak in the 360-degree views and take some incredible photos without any glare from the windows. It felt very safe and steady the entire time. If you're trying to decide when to go, definitely choose the afternoon or the sunset! The glittering lights of the city and the illuminated falls create a truly magical experience. It's well worth the ticket price for a perspective you just can't get anywhere else. Five stars all the way!

Absolutely loved the Niagara SkyWheel! It’s such a fun and unique way to see the Falls and the surrounding Niagara area from above. The views are absolutely breathtaking — you get an incredible perspective of both the Horseshoe Falls and the Niagara skyline, and if you go around sunset or at night, the lights make everything look magical. The cabins are fully enclosed, clean, and spacious, which makes it comfortable even on cold or windy days. The ride is smooth and relaxing, giving you plenty of time to soak in the scenery or take amazing photos. You can really see how vast the area is from up there — it’s a perspective you just can’t get from the ground. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. It’s also perfect for families, couples, or even solo travellers looking for a unique view of the Falls. Definitely a must-do attraction if you’re visiting Niagara Falls — it’s quick, fun, and absolutely worth every penny. I’d go back in a heartbeat! 🎡🌊

Had been to Niagara Falls many times before but always ignored it. Decided to check it out this time and it was a very good experience. The view of the Niagara Falls and the city from the top was very unique and beautiful. Gives a different perspective. Definitely worth it.

We decided to try out the sky-wheel on a whim on a recent visit to Niagara. It was a fun little experience, albeit somewhat expensive for a short ride. Neat to experience the Falls from above! Not for anyone who is afraid of heights though (it took me a little bit to feel comfortable at those heights, especially when it stopped!) :). Once everyone is loaded you go around a few times before they unload everyone again. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!

The Niagara SkyWheel was such a beautiful experience! The view of the Falls and city lights was absolutely stunning, especially at night. The ride was smooth, the cabins were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly. Totally worth it a must do in Niagara Falls!

This is included with the Clifton Hill Fun Pass. The gondola was comfortable and spacious for the 3 of us. The views were great of the surrounding area and the Falls were not too far away. We were lucky as it was not busy, no wait, car to ourselves.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We spent less than an hour here and it was walkable from our hotel so a huge bonus. There are several floors consisting of a variety of museum-type displays, small bird aviaries and select other creatures. The stunner was the actual main aviary itself; saw so much beautiful birds. Favourite was the blue jay, what a spectacle! Buy tickets online in advance to save a few bucks.

This was fun for the whole gang, adults and our children. We had a great time and would definitely come visit again next time we are in the area. Tip for families, leave your jackets in the car because the temperature is set to mimic the birds natural habitats, so it gets hot. If you're wondering whether you should pay extra for the bird feeding experience, yes, you definitely should. So worth it.

The Bird Kingdom was such a beautiful experience. We saw birds we didn't even know existed. Nature is fascinating and those birds were so colorful and beautiful. The way they have decorated this aviary was stunning too! Seeing those birds flying around freely was fun and the staff is taking good care of them. I have to say though that if you want to take an option with your entry ticket such as feeding the birds or taking a picture with a bird, the price will be a bit expensive. It cost me around 80$ for my girlfriend and I with the photo with a bird option. But at the end of the day, this is for a good cause. It was worth every penny ! Animal lovers, if you're in Niagara Falls, you need to visit the Bird Kingdom. PS: The parking ain't free.

Out of my weeklong stay at Niagra Falls, this was one of the best stops in my travel. This place offered an up-close encounter with hundreds of birds, some that I've never even heard of. It was wonderful to see the majority of them outside of cages, and each bird was treated with such love and respect that is so inspiring to see. Each worker there knew the birds by name, and you could easily tell they cared deeply for them all. The building itself was 4 story tall aviary with multiple rooms, and massive enclosure with a waterfall. You can easily spend two or more hours here before you even know it. Some sections had other animals including turtles, sugar gliders, and a skunk! I have no clue why others would leave any bad reviews. The place was clean and beautifully maintained, and perfect for families and children. There are restrooms, a gift shop, and a parking lot right at the front entrance. You can pay additional for feedings and pictures, but even with the basic entrance the birds can be found flying all around you. Out of every zoo or bird sanctuary I've ever visited, this was the closest I've ever been to the animals. If we ever come back to this area, this would be my first stop!!

Had a blast of a time at the Bird Kingdom. Was a last minute add on while we were on our trip. Bought tickets online and was fast and easy. From the start to the end, it was fun seeing the history and all the animals (not just birds at the Bird Kingdom). Got passes for the kids to feed the birds and they loved it. Also did the scavenger hunt and the kids had fun looking for all the answers and clues. Definitely would recommend going and explore.

Visited this place in October. The place appears close by from Oakes Garden Theater park but it is a 5 min walk from the major intersection. But it was fun walking under the bridge and seeing the border up close. There is a Presto discount you can get in person and it cost us around 18$ per person. At first we were expecting disappointment as the place was a little cramped and felt claustrophobic. But the shows kept coming. There are three levels, you climb up the levels and watch the exhibits and then you enter the final aviary which was all three floors combined. There were lots, I mean lots of birds and you can experience them close by. If you are a bird photographer, this is your Disneyland! We really enjoyed this place and felt it was a well worth of the money and time. It does feel hot and humid inside (for the birds) so you might get used to the sweating. Have to talk about the bathrooms of the first level, it was like a time travel back to 1950s and using the bathroom. Wonderfully maintained that I had to take a picture of it. Also another gotcha, there are many birds hovering above your heads, so what you think may happen and did happen. Just be cautious what’s above your head :) Would definitely recommend this place for older seniors as there is not much walking or waiting involved. But since the place is tiny, I would not recommend in summer when the crowds are high. May be in winter time or less seasoned weekday would do. Took us about 2 hours to leisurely see this place. Definitely recommend this place.

Great spot to spend an hour or two with kids. I went with my 10-month-old and we had a great time. We walked through in about 45 minutes, but you could easily spend closer to two hours. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Never been inside this historical site before. To my surprise it's a very peaceful place to walk. We saw deers and ducks. Mirror lake inside is beautiful tiny. My recommendation to visit this cemetery.

Beautiful place for a walk! So many unique and gorgeous gravesites. Even got to see a hawk perched on top of one of the memorials with a bird statue. We saw several herds of deer throughout the cemetery as well

Forest Lawn Cemetery, located in Buffalo, New York, is not only a place of rest for the deceased but also a significant historical and cultural landmark. Established in 1849, it spans over 269 acres, making it one of the largest cemeteries in the United States. Forest Lawn is known for its beautiful landscaping, impressive sculptures, and notable monuments, embodying the rural cemetery movement of the 19th century which sought to create cemetery parks that were as much about the living as they were about memorializing the dead. The cemetery was designed with the idea of creating a peaceful and scenic environment, moving away from the earlier, more crowded churchyard burial grounds. This concept was part of a broader movement that influenced the creation of public parks and green spaces across America. The layout of Forest Lawn includes winding paths, gentle hills, serene lakes, and a diverse collection of trees and plants, designed to reflect a natural, park-like setting. Over the years, Forest Lawn has become the final resting place for many prominent individuals, including U.S. Presidents, inventors, artists, and business leaders. This has made it not only a place of historical interest but also a site of pilgrimage for those wishing to pay their respects to these notable figures. Among its famous residents are President Millard Fillmore, singer Rick James, and inventor Lawrence Dale Bell, founder of Bell Aircraft Corporation. Forest Lawn is also known for its commitment to education and community engagement. It offers a variety of tours, events, and educational programs that highlight the cemetery's rich history, art, and architecture. These activities provide insights into the lives of the individuals buried there, as well as the cultural and historical contexts in which they lived. The cemetery has evolved over the years, adding new sections and embracing modern memorial practices, yet it remains committed to preserving its historical legacy and natural beauty. Forest Lawn continues to serve as a vital part of Buffalo's heritage, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty to residents and visitors alike.

Beautiful setting. Rolling hills the way the city was before it was flattened for neighborhoods. Great wildlife.

We decided to go here since we had a few hours to kill before our flight out if Buffalo. It was worth it. This cemetery is over 200 acres and has a lot of history. Rick James is buried here...but more important historical figures are as well. The monuments are so huge, varied and beautiful. Don't miss the big memorial that has the mother, the father looking down on their son...all marble figures in glass and concrete.

Art , our guide , provided an educational and enjoyable one hour tour. Extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Interesting tour and info. Beautiful cemetery.

Laid my father to rest at the West Falls Forest Lawn almost three years ago, and pre-paid for a plot of my own. Very sorry now, as I found out that they are permitting events related to a festival (nothing to do with those laid to rest there) IN the cemetery, albeit on an unoccupied section. I would never have done this if I'd known they'd be so disrespectful! If you want your loved one to rest in peace, don't bury them there! I spoke with them before posting here and they absolutely refuse to change the plans.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

I had never been here and I live not super far from it. It is really cool and a nice place to walk around and check out with a lot of cool history. It was worth going through and seeing the buildings and reading the history. There is a tour. We just did not make it LOL.

Attended a two day workshop for making a stained glass panel-- loved it! Beautifully maintained historic building & grounds. The gift shop is a destination in itself; garden/sculptures/paper/print art/glass/pottery/jewlery-- a little of everything!

Beautiful place that looks like a castle! It has entertaining events inside the building as well as in the courtyard. The shade from the trees makes it pleasant to be outside even on a hot day.

Its a beautiful place, art building open every day of the week.

Very beautiful didn't go in but loved architectural design enough to stop and take pictures Do note there is a face in the stone in peek of the roof.

It's such a beautiful place. I am participating there for the Fall Art festival. It's so professionally organized. Curated with high values and good tast.

The Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, New York is the best preserved and most complete complex of buildings remaining in the United States of the "guilds" that evolved as centers of craftsmanship and philosophy during the late 19th century. The Campus is designated a National Historic Landmark. The Roycroft Campus founded by Elbert Hubbard in 1897 was the birth place of the American Arts and Crafts movement that was a direct response to the Industrial Revolution. It was more than just a art movement...it was a way of thinking. Many of it's ideas are still relevant today. The Campus started off as the Roycroft Press which printed many of Elberts literary works. He previously worked at the Larkin Soap Company in Buffalo, NY. His wife Alice Hubbard was a noted women's suffragist. Elbert and Alice would eventually die aboard the RMS Lusitania. Fun Facts: A famous Roycrofter named W. W. Denslow illustrated the children's book The Wonderful World of Oz that would become adapted into the legendary film The Wizard of Oz. If you walk around the Campus and East Aurora you can see where he got his inspiration from. The lion head located on The Chapel is widely believed to be the inspiration for the illustration of the Cowardly Lion for W. W. Denslow's children's book The Wonderful World of Oz. The similarity is still evident in the iconic film adaptation The Wizard of Oz.

The old school five and dime. You'll find things that you never knew existed and things that you haven't seen in years. Prices are decently reasonable and service is good. True old fashioned building adds charm to this landmark. Well worth the 2-hour drive for me. Like the ads used to say, follow 20A to East Aurora and look for the Vidler on the roof.

always a fun stopover to wander around when passing through, you never have any idea what you're going to find! great for kids and adults alike, and extremely reasonable prices!

I’ve been here numerous times, every time I’m in Buffalo I head to East Aurora for Bar Bill wings and a blast from the past Fidlers. I love this store, I can spend an hour just pursuing the aisles.

A very interesting and amazing place to visit. Especially the drive out during fall. So many different items. Gorgeous snow globes. Candles, candy and toys. The people who work here are so friendly and helpful. You cannot be disappointed visiting Vidlers.

Wonderful store to browse. Lots of vintage things, huge selection of candy, toys, kitchen essentials. Friendly staff.

Great service! The lady at the other end of the store was able to check us out (it is actually a big store!) She was very kind. We explored all the toys they had there and all the smells at the candle/smells room. Lots of toys for kids there.

A HUGE 5 and dime, biggest in the world,I hear. They have everything from pots and pans to models and toys and candles and Buffalo Bills collectibles and candy and stuffed animals and the list goes on and on. There's an elevator that will hold two people in case you don't do stairs so well. Street entrance is to the second floor, entrance in the back is too the first floor. Plan to stay a while if you like to browse. Prices are a bit high for many items, but that's to be expected in a tourist attraction. I enjoyed my visit.

Jennifer led a great tour of the locks. We also checked out both the museums, the smaller one at the lowest lock, and the main one up on the street level. The main museum has a fun video that mimics the experience of being in a boat from way back when, and there is an impressive gift shop too.

If anyone is wanting a non-adult opinion…hi there! I’m a 17-y-o boy, and I loved this place. The museum is pretty cool if you’re into historical things and is even better if you love water engineering. If you don’t like either…it can get a little boring, but that is easily remedied by actually walking out to the canal.

The actual visit was mid-April. First off, the intro movie was excellent! This was a great stop for kids to learn how locks work through their interactive wall model. The kids would follow the instructions to move a boat through a series of locks. Beautiful models displayed throughout. There were outdoor sites to see the original locks and another smaller museum with equipment! Beautifully set up and maintained. The little gift shop is also great! All in all ... I highly recommend supporting this museum!

The museum is fantastic and the staff of top notch, their enthusiasm and passion for their town and the Canal made this an excellent stop.

This is a small museum, but you do learn about the Erie Canal and how it came about. The staff was polite and friendly and full of information about the museum and what to do around the town.

Incredible place to stop enjoy a cup of Joe and explore the canal locks. Great family experience with a taste of history

Absolutely loved it! Ray did a Great synopsis of the history, why it was built where it was. The interactive movie is fantastic! So creative! Lots of interactive displays for young and younger. Also got walling tour info which was very helpful. So glad I stopped.

Had an amazing time exploring Antique World and Flea Market! 🛍️✨ So many unique finds, vintage treasures, and great deals around every corner. The vendors were friendly, and the atmosphere was lively and fun. Whether you’re a collector or just love discovering hidden gems, this place is a must-visit! 🧳🪙🪞

I love the place but not the fact you went and raised the price for parking on garage sale days to $2. Otherwise good selection and always find something interesting there

What a wonderful treasure trove! We stopped on the way to Niagara Falls to look for old jewelry, and they have an amazing selections with excellent prices. Pieces range from costume jewelry to gold and precious stones. I also bought a couple of lovely teacups and saucers. The ladies working were so kind and friendly. Great stop!

Wonderful antiques. Most prices were very fair. Geared more towards actual, high-quality antiques and not just vintage stuff. Worth a visit. The wall art(paintings etc) selection was very nice

This place is really big so the mix of items is massive and most likely have what you want. The people here are kind and helpful. The only thing I wish was the system of units wasn’t so confusing you get lost trying to find one specific one

Was a great market and still had its moments. Too many storage units and stupid $2 parking fee.

I love this place! I always find something wonderful.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You could only see it from the river about a mile down the road They wear working around it

My relatives, sister and I have taken an Erie Canal cruise through this bridge and the bridge carries Falls Road Railroad over the Erie Canal. The "Upside Down Bridge" in New York refers to the Lockport Railroad Bridge, a deck truss bridge built in 1902 by the King Bridge Company. Its name comes from its appearance, which resembles a through truss bridge positioned upside down. It was built over the Erie Canal in Lockport and is a historic landmark with a notable truss design.

Awesome place for bike trails and dog walks to the nature enthusiast

It’s a bridge, but it’s upside down.

What's not to like about an old metal bridge that they don't build anymore

Fun to see.

I grew up in the small town the bridge is in

I have never seen anything like this! They are closing the doors to this store and the line is around the building. We have attempted 4 different times to enter the store. Finally after waiting out in the rain we got our CHEESE 😁.

Kutter's is great place to visit. They have a great selection of cheeses and they will let taste before you buy. They have a small selection of Hunts wine. Our favorite is sweet gus. Named after a dog that used to greet visitors when they came to visit the vineyard. We have been here many times. Visit Kutter's cheese factory. You won't be disappointed.

I haven't been to Kutter's since pre-covid times. Nice small store with a variety of cheeses. Purchased my favorite cheese curds along with sharp cheddar, bacon horseradish and a small stick of pepperoni. Good 🧀.

Great selection of cheeses and spreads and prices lower than the big supermarkets. French onion dip is awesome, so strong that I can add sour cream and still be better than common store brands. Buffalo wing spread is terrific and spicy.

First time visit here today and we were pleasantly surprised. When you walk into this quaint little shop, you are greeted with a table of testing goodies. They had about 5 different cheeses to sample and we enjoyed every one 💛 If you haven't visited this local gem, take some time to come out and give it a try. I'm sure you'll love it too 👍😀

They have a fifteen-year-old cheddar that is absolutely amazing. Do I really need to say anything more? Lol, well I really could say a lot more about this place. The variety of cheese available is very nice, the prices are very reasonable, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It may be a long drive for me, but it's really worth it every time!

For those of us who like cheese this small Town cheese factory is a hidden gem. From a sharp cheddar that gives your mouth that little bite that cheddar should along with a full favorite of cheese curds you will never go wrong when entertaining or simply enjoying a glass of wine with you own favorite. And don't forget their homemade dips and cheese spreads. Kutter's is the best for quality and price. Stop in once and you'll return again.
