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.

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.

The White Water Walk offers a beautiful and refreshing experience. From the manmade wooden boardwalk, you get an up-close view of the turbulent, emerald-green Niagara River as it rushes through the narrow gorge. The naturally eroded rock formations add a scenic and calming element to the walk. The short tunnel from the elevator to the boardwalk adds a nice touch to the overall experience. While there is some waiting time for the elevator both going down and back up, it’s manageable. There’s also a souvenir shop at the exit where you can pick up gifts and memorabilia. Overall, a pleasant and worthwhile experience, especially for nature lovers and those looking for a peaceful walk with stunning views.

It's a beautiful short walk just the entrance fee seems to be a bit much for what you get. (Also the reason for the 3* rating) Still happy we did it and I can cross it off my list now. Nice views. Sadly the platform closest to the river was closed off. The selfie point is useless couldn't find my picture but was offered (online by the system) to download other people's pictures. Very questionable in my opinion. Would recommend going early when the sunlight still hits the water giving you the most vibrant colours The wait was long. Clean area. Wheelchair and stroller mostly accessible - exceptions are the lookout platforms.

Walking through the White Water Walk was one of the most peaceful yet powerful experiences I’ve had. The sound of the rushing water, the cool breeze, and being so close to the rapids made me feel connected to nature in a whole new way. The boardwalk gives you incredible views of the whitewater and the sheer force of the river is just amazing to witness up close. It’s one of those experiences that pictures just don’t do justice you really have to see and feel it for yourself. I highly recommend it if you’re visiting Niagara Falls.

A great way to see some rapids without getting wet, also very scenic before you hit the main falls area. Did this as additional to my plans in Niagara as I found it on the way to the Whirlpool attraction. Spent about an hour here but a lot of people spend longer later in the day, I assume there more people which means means more waiting for spaces to free up for photos on the observation decks and the more photogenic spots along the walking route. So go early in the morning like I did. The walk talkes place along a flat wooden pathway with observation openings along the way for those who want to get a bit closer or take photos. Overall this was a great calm way to see some amazing views and get a small idea of thebl speed of the falls before doing the Niagara City Cruises after. A must do if your in the area 😁

Walk was nice, but short.. 1 elevator for a bunch of people gets very crowded. Not sure if white water walk gives free parking, but we had to pay the expensive price of $8/ per hour! Staff were nice, lineup to go back up the elevator is very long… Overall a good experience just the elevator thing is very complicated and crowded

We recently visited White Water Walk and it was absolutely beautiful! The view of the rapids was breathtaking — watching the power and intensity of the water up close was truly mesmerizing. It’s a peaceful and scenic experience, and a great spot to take in the raw natural beauty of Niagara. I recommend coming early when it opens — it’s much quieter and gives you the chance to enjoy the views without the crowds. A must-visit if you’re looking for a more tranquil and awe-inspiring stop in Niagara Falls!

Wonderful experience. We were here on August 21st around 11am. Line was about 15 min wait for the elevator. Once on the boardwalk it’s a self guided tour. Wonderful views of the rapids and surrounding topography!

Absolutely beautiful experience! The Butterfly Conservatory is like stepping into a tropical paradise — warm, lush, and full of color. There are literally hundreds of butterflies flying all around you, landing on flowers, and sometimes even on you if you stand still long enough! 🦋 The place is super well-maintained and peaceful, with little walking paths surrounded by waterfalls and tropical plants. It’s perfect for photos and honestly feels like you’ve escaped into another world for a bit. The educational displays before entering are short but interesting, especially for kids. Such a relaxing and magical spot — definitely worth visiting if you’re in Niagara Falls. Great for families, couples, or anyone who wants a quiet break from the busier attractions. 🌿✨

We wanted a kid and baby-friendly activity for our mini getaway and am so glad we opted for this. We’ve been to Niagara Falls dozens of times but had never thought to explore this gem and we were so glad we did. We spent less than an hour here (thank you previous Google reviewers about the paid parking tip and only needing an hour!) yet it felt much longer. Adults, kid and baby were so enchanted by the exotic beauty of the thousands of gorgeous butterflies fluttering around. What a treat it was to be in their domain and admire in awe and wonder. It is humid of course so recommend to come in a t-shirt, regardless of the actual weather outside. We had our baby in a baby carrier and it worked out wonderfully; saw some other babies in strollers and preferred having a baby carrier as it allowed us to navigate easily on the paths. Gift shop was a lovely browse too; purchased a cute hologram butterfly bookmark for our son to remember this conservatory every time he reads. Highly recommended!

Cool small dome filled with many butterflies and tropical plants. I was impressed by the number of butterflies, but expected a little more variety of types. 20-30 minutes is plenty to see everything. Kind of expensive at over $20 for an adult and $8 parking in the lot. I would say it's worth stop if it's part of an included package...probably dont need to go out of your way to see just that unless you are a big butterfly fan.

Butterflies, science, and my inner 5-year-old fully activated! I didn’t expect to be this entertained by butterflies, but here we are. The place is packed with them—so many different kinds that I started naming them like Pokémon. One even landed on my shoulder, and for a brief moment I considered adding “Disney princess” to my résumé. The real MVP was the butterfly caretaker who answered approximately one million of my questions (I basically turned my visit into a field trip). He was so patient and full of knowledge, it honestly made the whole experience that much cooler. If you’re anywhere near Niagara-on-the-Lake, make this a pit stop. It’s colorful, relaxing, and will have you questioning your life choices if you didn’t wear bright colors to attract more butterflies. 10/10 would visit again—armed with more questions and maybe a net (just kidding… kind of).

If I could give this place more stars, I would. This was an AMAZING experience that felt like pure joy and relaxation at the same time. There were so many absolutely stunning butterflies of all different kinds. 10/10 recommend this place whether you’re traveling, just trying to get the family out of the house, or even for a fun date. I cannot express how beautiful this place and experience was. After the experience there’s a cute gift shop, as well as gorgeous gardens and even a cafe! Definitely a highlight of my vacation!

I’ve been here TWO times for my birthday, i LOVE it. I also really love Kyle, one of the workers there. he’s just like me. Tell Kyle he’s awesome. He might not remember me but i’m the pale boy with long-ish brown hair. Anyway, the butterflies are beautiful, the orange ones with yellow spots usually do not like touching me for some reason. remember to look for butterflies who are resting on the floor and pick them up and put them on a leaf so they don’t get stepped on! I recommend this place for insect enjoyers.

October 2025 review. I love butterflies. I been to Key West (Florida) butterfly conservatory as well, I find Niagara is probably bigger, has more variety of plants, trees and number of butterflies. STILL I find experience 45$ including tax for 2 adult people and 2 hour 16$ parking if you wanna enjoy garden and butterflies - way over priced and overvalued! Regardless how beautiful it all is - I still don't think it really worth 61$ for 2 hours being here. Alex Garden or Rosetta McClain Gardens (free parking) (Toronto) are absolutely free and as impressive as Nigara Botanical Garden. The city should cover some cost or at least offer free 2 hour parking. Tourist should not be treated as walking wallets.

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!

Attended the Asian Culture Festival and loved it. Also took a boat tour. Canalside is great except for two things. 1. Not enough information. Ever see those sign poles with signage arrows pointing in different directions? Canalside needs several pf those poles placed strategically pointing in the direction of a. Restrooms, b. Boat Tours c. Picnic areas, d. Information resources. Secondly, the parking situation is abysmal. Either have signs designating where parking is available or list it on the website. Why? I'm 70. I shouldn't have to search blocks and blocks for a parking space and then have to walk 8 blocks on a hot day to get to my destination. Nor should I have to pay $25 to park in the ramp. That's crazy.

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.

We had a wonderful time kayaking! This was a spontaneous date for me and my husband. It was easy to schedule online, and the host was there to greet us and get us into the water. I love the boat launch that is set up and accessible for kayakers because I don't get wet trying to get in the boat. We would go again! Tip - Don't forget a water bottle and possibly gloves, if you tend to grip the paddle too tight, to avoid blisters.

What a great experience working with Erie Canal Boat Company in Fairport. Everything was perfect from the ease of reserving a kayak on line, to parking, launching the kayak and help upon returning it. It was a beautiful, fun day on the canal with friends only made better by the great customer service and accommodations offered.

Rented a tandem kayak for my daughters 13 birthday, she went with our 20 year old. Such an easy online reservation process and so easy once we arrived! They had a great time!

Have rented a kayak from Erie Canal Boat Company for several years for my daughter's birthday and love going down the Eric Canal in Fairport. Very friendly and all equipment is well kept. Would recommend to anyone and come back again!! Thank you!!!

Very fun experience on a recumbent bike. They made sure it fit me ok before I started off. I now know I want to buy my own!

What a great little operation I made reservations online, then easy pleasey when I arrived. The kayak was placed on a clever launch where you can step in and slide into the canal. Just as easy on return. Parking is only feet away right in the heart of Fairport. (Of course a perfect sunny October day didn’t hurt!). Highly recommend!

We rented two bikes at the Lockport location and had a great ride. The woman running the rental shop was very friendly and helpful. The bikes were perfect for cruising the canal on a summer day.

Friendly missionaries there to assist with answering questions and giving a ride to the top of the hill to see monument if unable to hike up. Very clean and informative atmosphere in the visitors center with interactive displays of Church of Jesus Christ History of this sacred site. This is where the plates of gold and of brass were retrieved by Joseph Smith who then translated the writings of the plates from the language of reformed Egyptian to the English language which then became The Book of Mormon. The title for the book was given because Mormon was an ancient prophet historian who abridged the writings and then wrote some of his own words as well. His son Moroni, also wrote some words on the plates and then hid the plates in the Hill Cumorah prior to Joseph Smith being told where they were and retrieving them. For anyone interested in church history, this is a fantastic place to visit! Beautiful too and very family friendly. They have umbrellas to loan out for rainy days!

If you're looking for a hill where an ancient prophet/historian buried a sacred record carved on gold plates and which a prophet of the modern day was led to to find those plates- which he would then translate by the gift and power of God, you have found it in the Hill Cumorah. The Visitor Center here is brand new and is awesome, with a great video. The missionaries are informative, and not at all pushy.

What a wonderful place! The visitors center is informative and interactive, the trails are well kept, and the spirit is strong!

The walk up the hill was enjoyable and peaceful. Great views at the top. Amazing place to learn more about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The missionaries were so kind and helpful. My family loved the stories and tours that they offered.

This place was awesome. Walking trails were very pretty.

What a beautiful building, first and second, everything inside is well thought out and put together. You could feel the Spirit there and on the hill.

Incredibly uplifting experience! Friendly staff, engaging activities, and beautiful art! The short hike up to the precipice was worth it for the view and monument. The rambling hike down through the old growth forest was breathtaking!

My visit to Glenora Winery was just okay. While the view of the lake was nice, it was partially blocked by the hotel/inn on the property, which took away from what could have been a beautiful setting. As for the wine, it was good, but considering the variety of wineries in the area, I’ve had better. The tasting experience left a lot to be desired. There was only one server handling the tastings, and they seemed to be rushing through everyone without offering much explanation about the wines. Having visited many wineries, from California to Italy, I’m familiar with how a tasting should feel, and this one just didn’t meet those expectations. Overall, while it wasn’t a bad experience, I expected more given the reputation of the area. There are definitely better options nearby.

It was my first time doing wine tasting and our server was so friendly and nice. We each did 5 different wine tasting and then we enjoyed glass of wine on the deck with a gorgeous view of the lake . I highly recommend this winery. 10/10

They had so many wines to choose from and the 5 we tasted were all good but the Blueberry was probably the best I have had anywhere! I would HIGHLY recommend getting this if you like sweet wines. The view of the lake was a bonus! It was amazing! The only reason I didn't give this winery a five was the girl that waited on us didn't have much of a personality as when she was doing her spiel about each wine she barely made eye contact with us and it was on to the next one.

My husband and I were able to do a wine tasting and educational class on glassware through the VIP experience offered through the Lakeside Trolley service. This is the oldest winery in the area and it was a beautiful place! The staff was so welcoming and friendly! We got to do a private experience where we learned the importance of glassware and how it either positively or negatively impacts wine! It was so informative and I highly recommend everyone doing it so they can learn about it too! Beautiful view of Seneca Lake too!

We loved it here! We stayed at the Inn and visited the winery. Highly recommend both! The inn was spacious & nice, with a great view from our balcony. At the winery, we love sweets & fruit wine, so it was perfect for us. Great covered patio to enjoy summer. We’d love to come back!

I for one love this place! I am not a dry wine person but my husband swears by their yellow taxi cab, I myself adore all of their fruit wines. Even if you don’t like wine, visit for a slushie, or to just look at the view. The view of the lake is immaculate. I also love that the lady at the tasting counter had a few mins of time and she went out of her way to find my size in one of the shirts I really liked. I will always come back here. 10/10 amazing!

Experienced quintessential Finger Lakes visit on Seneca Lake at Glenora wineries. Enjoyed a fantastic dinner meal at the Veraison’s restaurant. We always choose to sit on the deck to enjoy the view of the lake. started with a seafood chowder, and main course was halibut and the Ahi Tuna. Vegetable medley was fresh and shareable. save room for dessert. We had the pistachio cheesecake with a graham cracker crust ... won’t forget that. Server was excellent and had great sense of humor. Check the website for open/ closing days and times as they may close the restaurant for special events, such as weddings. Drive and park in front of the restaurant and your visit will be handicap accessible.

Beautiful location overlooking Seneca Lake. Nice small shop. They even had a small cheese shop on location where you can get regional delicacies. A decent assortment of wines to choose from as well. We ended up choosing three separate wine flights. An excellent choice if you are unsure or would like to sample multiple offerings from the winery. Have fun!

If you're visiting the Finger Lakes region—especially around Seneca Lake—I highly recommend stopping here. The vibe and ambiance are fantastic, and the food and wine selection is top-notch. We visited on a weekend, and even though it was quite busy, we were lucky to get a table on the deck with a beautiful view of the lake. We ordered a Riesling and another flight—both were excellent. We especially enjoyed the semi-dry, Lake Dana Riesling as well as the Rose. The food was outstanding and paired perfectly with the wine. The chicken salad sandwich, Hawaiian sandwich, and flatbread were all delicious, and the side salad complemented everything really well. We can’t wait to return, try more items, and hopefully do the tour next time! IG: journey_man16

Delicious and delightful Cafe! Bison tacos were delicious and the unoaked Chardonnay refreshing on such a warm fall day. Many desirable items on the menu. Lovely dog friendly back patio but the lake view on front patio would have been cooler in every way. Price we pay for taking our pup everywhere we go. I hope temperatures cool off during our time here and I am able to enjoy a tasting of their reds.

We stopped in here on a whim and loved the place, the staff and the wine! We sat at the bar for a tasting sampler and had an amazing host whom was extremely knowledgeable and informative. The weather wasn’t so great when we went but the views from the front porch are beautiful.

Their flights are well priced and the cafe has a great food selection. Loved all the wines we tried! This was the vineyard we bought the most from on this trip. They invited us to sit in the tasting room with our dog, but we preferred the patio.

Let me start by saying that I don’t write a ton of reviews, unless it is absolutely worth it. We did the wine tour with lunch experience and it was the highlight of our trip to the Finger Lakes. Thank you all for a great experience, up to par to Napa and our European wine experiences.

Dog friendly in their tasting room and patio. Had the dry red tasting, it was good but not my favorite in the area. They are more known for their Rieslings and I didn’t try them but I’m sure they were delicious. They have a cafe area that looked really nice but I didn’t visit due to having the dogs. Very beautiful winery with a large outdoor area!

Hazlitt was by far my favorite winery we visited on our trip to Seneca Lake. I've been drinking Red Cat for many years, so it was cool to see the actual winery. They also have ciders! There was a little coy pond, and you could feed the fish. The overall vibe was very fun and energetic. Will definitely be stopping on our next trip! The little song at the beginning of the tasting explains a lot! If you know you know... 🤭

Our first stop while visiting the wineries — and what a perfect way to start the day! I tried a flight, and my favorite was the dry white wine with notes of gooseberry and guava. You can really taste the flavors as you sip, and the finish was just right. I’ll definitely be picking up a bottle next time I visit. The Oasis across from Hazlitt was also fantastic! The staff were wonderful, and the seating area by the fire was warm and cozy. There were even games and a swing, adding to the relaxed vibe. Such a serene, calming atmosphere — I absolutely loved it.

I know there are a lot of winery options in the area, but if you do not stop here - you are doing yourself a disservice. I visited a handful of wineries throughout my stay but none even stood a chance to providing the same quality wine, staff and atmosphere of Hazlitt. I came for my birthday trip and they were the highlight of my trip. The group of ladies behind the bar feel like friends on arrival. Everyone is so friendly / nice. Ann was an absolute joy to meet and converse with during our wine flight. She had great recommendations and I definitely shopped and ended up leaving with SO MUCH WINE because they all were DELICIOUS. I already can’t wait to get back.

We had a blast tasting wines! $10 per person, 6 wines to taste, you also get water and popcorn to reset taste buds between sips. Great gift shop and overall amazing experience! The have all sorts of wines from Riesling, Sangria, fizz wine to Port and Vidal Blanc - that one is definitely our favorite.

Great wine selection. The tasting was awesome. One of our favorites! The popcorn was a nice touch.

Very beautiful seeing, excellent wine tasting. Lots to taste, work wines. Taste the port and sherry. Amazing

My husband and I stopped in for a glass and were pleasantly surprised when we walked in that for $10 a person, we could do a tasting of 6 wines! What a neat and personalized experience and got to try a bunch of different wine varieties as well as get some information about them from our server! She was wonderful and had such a bubbly personality as well as knew what she was talking about! Really great wines with a good variety of dry and sweet! Highly recommend going and doing a tasting to see what you like...I guarantee you will fall in love with something!

I wish I could give them even more than 5 stars! I work at another local winery and wanted to start checking out the other wineries in the area. I went with my husband for my birthday, just expecting to pop in for a quick tasting. 3 1/2 hours later... we left completely in love with the place. Every single wine, beer, and hard cider we tried were absolutely exceptional and beyond delicious. We also got food and coffee at the café which were also fantastic. The customer service was superb, the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. I told the manager I worked at a winery nearby and he was so great to us. I wish I got his name but whoever you are thank you so much for a fantastic experience! The atmosphere and decor was brilliantly designed, it felt like going to a theme park for adults! This is now one of our new favorite places and we absolutely will be returning over and over. I will also be sending all of my customers to Three Brothers when they are looking for recommendations for more places to visit!

A wonderful experience! Another trip added to my work family monthly outings. We had a great experience from the welcoming ambience to the excellent customer service. It was a day to relax and rewind. We did the $55 deal tasting for two and it was definitely worth it! Don't forget to get the "BIG ASS PRETZEL" Which could feed a small village! We enjoyed the Poutine(shareable) along with the grilled cheese. Take your girlie (or your boo) and have a good experience in the fingerlakes :)

Had a fantastic time at Three Brother Wineries! The wines and brewery are top-notch, and there’s a great variety of tasting packages to choose from. They even offer free slushies if it’s your birthday! The food is delicious, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. With three wineries and one brewery, there's plenty to explore, plus indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy live music. Definitely check out their events on the website! I’ll definitely be back in the future! Highly recommend!

First time coming here and it was really nice! I did the passport which is a sampler tasting for all locations, and for the price you pay ($40 per person), you get a good amount of wines to try, and if it's just two people then there is a shared passport. There's four different areas that you visit for each samplings that have a unique atmosphere to it, and I can say I enjoyed most of what I got so I do plan to visit another day. There is limited seating so be mindful that you may have to be seated outside, and take your time at each one. There is free water located around some areas as well, and some food that you can buy which I got the pork sandwich and it was amazing! Some of the food items are shareable too, you get a great amount of food for the price you pay. One thing I didn't really like, and don't get why, is that kids are allowed and are just able to run around which makes no sense when it's an adult thing so there's nothing for them to do but watch their parents get drunk!

Coming to this winery was an AMAZING experience. I got the single tasting pass (which gave me a flight for each building) and my boyfriend got the non-alcoholic pass (which gave him a non-alcoholic drink in each building). Each building was unique, with excellent service and amazing drinks. We were able to go at our own pace and pick different options. For the price, you get SO much. Each room gave 4, 5 or 6 samples, which gave a lot of different opportunity to try different drinks. My favorite room was Passion Wine because the room was so eccentric and the drinks were delicious. I also loved Bagg Dare, as there was live music and you could sit by a pond. I was worried my boyfriend would not have as good of an experience since he was not drinking, but the non-alcoholic pass gave him really interesting and good drinks in each room and he did not feel left out at all. He even got a soda flight in the Warhorse Brewery room, which he loved. We came here on a trip to the Fingerlakes, as we live around 4 or 5 hours away, and I would honestly take the drive again just to come back to this winery.

Three Brothers was such a lovely experience today. Each tasting “room” had different vibes and themes. The wines were amazing, the homemade soda was top notch. Also the wine slushes were phenomenal . If I could give them more than 5 stars I would, especially since they have an N.A. tasting pass. We love an inclusive environment 🩵

Incredibly impressed with this winery near Geneva! They have four different buildings with different beverage portfolios. I REALLY enjoyed the sangria and cider here. I got a flight of watermelon, mango, raspberry, peach, and original cider. I wish I could buy some cans to bring back with me. Certainly worth a visit. 🍎

I recently visited Finger Lakes Premium Outlet with my daughters for our annual back-to-school shopping trip, and I must say, we left feeling quite disappointed. I’ve been to this outlet many times and always appreciated the great deals I could find. However, this visit felt different. While most stores were advertising 30 to 70% off, we were shocked that the prices were still extremely high, even after the discounts. Items that used to feel like a steal now seemed overpriced, which took away the excitement of finding a good bargain. It’s not just the prices that were off, though. The outlet itself seemed unusually quiet, lacking the bustling energy it used to have. The fewer crowds made the experience less lively, and it left me wondering if this is a new trend. I’m not writing this to give a bad review, but more out of curiosity and concern. I’ve always loved shopping at Finger Lakes Premium Outlet, hoping this was just a one-off experience. But if this is a sign of things to come, it might change how often I visit in the future.

Not bad as an outlet - the set of stores is diverse enough, tho some stores are on the smaller side, and not all of them have really great deal. But you can find nice stuff. The place is super spread out, and mostly forces you to walk through the parking lot to reach different stores, which in the summer is not particularly nice due to total lack of shade, trees or even a water fountain.

My daughter educated me today and said that outlets does not mean that they're discounted to means that they're outside stores. I don't know why but I always imagine that when I go to an outlet place that I'm going to get better deals than I'm going to the regular store places ... And I guess that just makes the mindset one where I'm not expecting to pay regular prices. So outside of our own way of seeing things a little bit different I reckon that the outlet malls did have a lot of shops that people definitely like to shop at!!!

Not a bad place. During the weekends it’s packed. For an outlet I find it expensive. Cheaper deals are available online. Nike are doing well! The queue started right at the back of the store. Wasn’t an issue as the staff were amazing. Bathrooms are always clean. Parking at weekends is tight.

Great place to shop all your premium brands Lots of variety And fair prices

While on vacation we decided to swing up here from Watkins glen area and I am glad we did. I got Tommy Hilfiger shorts on sale. And the Nike Outlet was very well stocked! Food could be better though!

Love it is living up to the discount outlet. Location could be better like closer to waterloo village and bus stop. However not too far away of del largo continously.

Beautiful views of Sodus Bay and the lighthouse from this spot. One of my favorite locations for a summer sunset.

Beautiful place to visit. I've heard so much about it and now got to visit myself. Definitely check it out. Also go to Timmerman Photography on Facebook. His pictures are what made me want to come visit.

Grab your climbing shoes and let’s go! This historic lighthouse is open to the public as a museum. The person who welcomed us was so sweet, he even gave us pamphlets on other places we were going to see on our journey and some we were interested to see. The museum is very small, so don’t worry about having to walk far. The lighthouse isn’t very fall either, but be careful of the steps! Each little room has an amazing story to tell, and when you climb the lighthouse you get a sticker!

A must see. Coolest small town history lesson while there. The view of the bay was beautiful. Maintained to pristine. Gardens I had to take the time to sit and enjoy.

I didn't actually pay to go inside the museum cause it seemed rather pricey (why only 4 stars). The views from here overlooking the bay are spectacular and there's plenty of interesting things to see around the outside.

This was a nice place to get out and visit. Very pretty when the sun is setting during the winter months. It's pretty here.

Sodus Bay Lighthouse and Museum is fantastic. Highly recommend visiting. You can climb to the top of the lighthouse, 52 spiral steps. Very well presented history of the lighthouse and area. The historical society has done an amazing job of restoration and maintenance. I give the historian and librarian special mention as they made our visit exceptional.

We have stayed a few times at del Lago for overnight excursions on our special occasions and del Lago does not disappoint! The rooms are absolutely gorgeous and are quiet! The staff is exceptional and are accommodating in every way. Breakfast was fabulous and the portions are huge! I win more at this casino than any other local casino, so that's a plus! Whether you are looking for that overnight excursion for a special occasion or just looking to play on the game floor or see a show, del Lago hits all of the buttons! You won't be sorry!

My friends and I recently took a trip to the Del Lago Casino, and while parts of the experience were wonderful, the restaurant experience unfortunately turned our weekend sour. We’re from Buffalo, so it was nearly a 2-hour drive — and the sole reason we chose Del Lago was because the restaurant was advertising a tomahawk steak. The first night at the casino was great we had an amazing time, the atmosphere was fun, the dj was wonderful and the hotel was beautiful. Everything about check-in was smooth and professional, and the staff throughout the casino and hotel were friendly, helpful, and professional. I’d easily give the hotel and casino itself a 10 out of 10, clean rooms, friendly staff, great security, and a gorgeous property overall. I want to specifically mention that the check in staff was amazing. I travel a lot but I have to say that this process one of the most seamless, efficient and courteous experience I've ever had. However, our dinner at Portico was extremely disappointing. We were really looking forward to the tomahawk steak that is being advertised. We noted on our reservations that we were there specifically for the steak. When we arrived, we were told they didn’t have any. It was frustrating because that was the whole reason we made the trip. We specifically made reservations for the first available table so we can get the steak. A heads-up would have been appreciated — because would’ve happily made other plans. Then things got worse. The waitress accidentally spilled my friend’s espresso martini in her lap. The staff offered us an appetizer to make up for it, and we chose the garlic bread (which was delicious, to be fair). Unfortunately, when the waitress brought the bread out, she dropped it too — a few pieces hit the floor, and instead of replacing them, she just served what was left. They offered us a free dessert to make up for the issues that we experienced. (Literally A dessert, one tiny cup of pumpkin cheesecake for the whole table) the dessert definitely did not make up for the poor experience that we had. At that point, we were just disappointed and ready to wrap up the evening. So we left the restaurant extremely disappointed and continued to spend the night in the casino. Overall, Del Lago is a beautiful property and we had an amazing time at the casino itself, even the security staff we're friendly. But Portico really let us down. It’s a shame that such a great weekend was overshadowed by poor communication and service at the restaurant. Edit: I have to say that I read a couple of negative reviews from other guests have written about the hotel and casino. I greatly disagree with these negative reviews. I highly recommend both the casino and hotel just don't go to the restaurant.

We visited the casino to see a show at the Vine venue. Bathrooms were clean earlier in the night and pretty. Later in the night a few stalls had no toilet paper, but the staff was replenishing it asap. We ate at a pizza place in the food court for a quick bite and it was good. The venue seats were comfortable and the staff was friendly. They helped us find our seats. The slot machines were mostly newer ones. I’d love to return.

I can't rate the rooms because Ive never stayed in one. I can tell you its a very nice Casino. I love the beverage centers located throughout the casino floor. Nice little eateries there to grab a quick bite. I also love how they have an actual poker room. Sometimes the odds of winning are better when competing against other players rather than the Casino itself. The Machines seem tight and have never win any money there playing my favorite game keno. I have only been there on 3 or 4 separate occasions but have never won anything on the keno machine. Im not really into feeding a slot machine. I am a keno junky. The points earned seem better than any Seneca Casino and they always have given me 10 free bucks everytime I have visited along with other nice chances to win something.

None of the restaurant were open on Tuesday, just a little grill, but not for early breakfast. No breakfast or coffee till after 0800. Nice casino, but not good for buisness traveler's, maybe executives. Then again it is a casino and resort, so it world be really nice for weekend vacations or get aways.

The rooms are high quality! Bathrooms are super spacious and clean. The employees there were stellar! My wife and I went on our anniversary there for the past several years and every year it's worth it! There is a $75 incidental fee/day but you can use it on room service if you aren't going to destroy the room!

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel overall. The staff was incredible friendly throughout the property, and the rooms are well designed. Everything was clean and a good variety of options for food. The electric charging, however is broken in the garage.

Another beautiful day and we decided to take a drive to see the Chimney Bluffs... The hike was very easy a little uphill from the one parking lot. We walked the 1.29 miles to the other parking lot which had 201 steps down. As for the views, they were majestic... Lake Ontario had crystal blue water almost Caribbean like waters stunning Hopefully, you can get out and enjoy this gem.

We drove to the parking on E Bay Road, on the far NE side of the park to walk the 202 steps UP the hill to see the bluffs on the bluff trail and then turned around and went down because it was rainy and we have a 16 month old with us. The trail was well maintained, easy to find and navigate. There are restrooms at the parking lot and there were a decent amount of parking spots. The bluffs are very neat and interested. The views are lovely, especially if it was sunny I would imagine.

Definitely something you should go see if you haven't before. The main draw here are the bluffs which you can see along a 1 mile trail. Very easy walk. Trail was good shape with hardly muddy areas. The spires are gorgeous.b There are other trails you can take throughout the party as well.

The ragged lakeshore is one of a kind! We started out at the main entrance ($5/car) and hiked just a little to the views overlooking Rochester. Then we drove to the east parking lot and hiked more along the cliffs, it was very windy but pristine and nobody else was there. The dragon beach is full of driftwood and pretty cool as well.

Easy 3 mile hike in and out. Easy for kids, beautiful views and leads down to Lake Ontario. Bathrooms at both ends of trail heads. Great place for a fall hike or a picnic! Trails are nicely marked and they are putting in wooden walkways over the low (muddy) spots.

Chimney Bluffs State Park on the shore of Lake Ontario is an absolute must-see destination in Upstate New York. What sets this park apart is its extraordinary geology: towering, earthen spires, or drumlins, carved by glacial activity and ceaseless erosion from wind and waves. These formations rise dramatically up to 150 feet above the water, creating an otherworldly, almost desert-like landscape that feels transported from Utah and offers some of the most spectacular photography opportunities in the region.

We took a trip here to check out the bluffs. It's definitely a cool place, and the chimney bluffs were amazing. We made the trails into a loop, and it ended up being only 3.5 miles. The trails were very muddy and had to venture off trail to get around the deep spots. Bring your boots

Lovely Finger Lake with lots to do and see. Seneca Falls, Waterloo, and Geneva are charming, as are the homes, vineyards, and farms surrounding the lake. We visited wineries, local dairies (cheese tastings were fabulous), Mackenzie Childs, and enjoyed Cayuga Lake State Park. Boating, Swimming, and fishing are available there.

Finger lakes! Nice boat ride! There was live music at the entry which made the place pretty lively.

Beautiful lake and great fishing.

I have been to several of the finger Lakes. I have enjoyed all of them. This one is beautiful too.

An amazing lake nestled in the hills of the Finger Lakes. State parks, boating, swimming, great fishing, vacation rentals, wineries and both seasonal and year round homes. Ithaca is at south end overlooking the water and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge is at the other. Gorgeous all 4 seasons

Nice place very relaxing

I loved being with Simpson's and will be visiting family and friends made through the years.

This is a dramatically scenic set of trails! We hiked the Rim Trail and enjoyed spectacular views of the gorge and the falls. Be prepared for a challenging walk with a lot of elevation change. We did the Rim Trail clockwise, but the park actually advises going counter-clockwise for a more gradual climb. We learned why the hard way: the start of the clockwise route is a very steep rise with lots of steps. Trust the park's advice—it would have been less effort to hike it the recommended way! A quick note: we couldn't hike the Gorge Trail because it closes mid-October, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. The Rim Trail itself is well-marked and fenced, so there's no danger of accidentally getting near the edge. Overall, the views are truly stunning and worth the effort.

This is a wonderful place to get outside and enjoy a hike. The views of the waterfall are magnificent. It was well worth the three hour drive to get there. Another natural wonder in New York State has been crossed of my bucket list! Yeah! 😃😊

This is a great place to visit! It is a beautiful easy hike thru a wide gorge to the waterfall! And yes, you can explore the bottom of the gorge along the way! Popular hike, so best to go off peak times! There is also a nice, quiet hike along the rim. Part of it is fenced off at the rim for safety. There are several views of the gorge below. You can park at the gorge entrance (bathroom across the street) or along the rim at a waterfall view point (bathroom).

Nice place for hiking or walking with kids. Trial to the falls are very easy and flat. Prapobly you need about one hour to complete the hiking, depending on your speed. But is worth it falls on the end are very nice. When I was there water level was pretty low. Will be even better when we get much more water flow.

This park has some nice trails. One of the trails leads to a gorgeous, tall waterfall that is an easy hike. There is an overlook of the falls that you can drive to. There is a small gift shop that dis not have power when we arrived so we couldn't buy a souvenir. That was sad but overall, it was a great day.

Magnificent hike!!! If you have 2 hours, do the full loop that goes around the back of the 215 main falls. There is even more gorge and another lovely waterfall- incredible. (You need to be able to hike stairs.)

Taughannock Falls State Park, near Ithaca in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York, is home to a magnificent waterfall that plunges 215 feet—making it one of the highest east of the Rockies. For travelers, the Gorge Trail offers an easy, accessible half-mile walk that leads directly to the breathtaking falls overlook, perfect for all skill levels. Alternatively, the North Rim Trail provides spectacular, elevated views of both the gorge and the falls from above. Don't forget to explore the park's other amenities, including swimming, picnicking, and access to Cayuga Lake. Parking fee:10$ Entrance: free

This was a wonderful soul storing moment. Being able to walk into the past in the present felt really surreal. I grew up in Mississippi with an abundance of stories about Harriet Tubman. I was honored and humbled , by my visit to her house. The rich legacy of her house and all that it represented. I definitely plan to return once her house is renovated.

Oh my goodness, the tour guide could have his one man show! Very entertaining and such a great informational tour. The first hour is the guide, Paul, telling us about Harriet’s life. In his words, “a home without a story is just a building”. After the story telling, we saw the inside of the Home for the Aged and walked the property. It was a great time! Well worth the visit! I also, a white middle aged woman learned a lot about the PC words to use.

We enjoyed an excellent tour with an terrific guide. We learned so much about the amazing life of Harriet Tubman. She will always be our hero. Loved the huge timeline sign...pics attached.

The tour is 100% worth a stop! Rev. Paul tells the true story of Harriet's life and the importance of preserving her story and legacy. History classes do not teach her full story and it deserves to be told!

I can only echo what others have already said! Paul is truly a one man show, I enjoyed every minute he guarantees that everyone will learn something that you didn’t know, and that is for absolute certain ! Just be sure to call ahead and reserve your tour time because you don’t want to miss it ! (Tours start at 10 am and 2 pm, you should look at the website for more info)

Words cannot adequately describe how wonderful this experience was. Highly recommend. Paul is a fantastic storyteller and walks you through her amazing life. Allow time to thoroughly enjoy this. His presentation and then the walk through of the home took approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours and it was worth it. I learned so much and the space felt very honoring. Make time to visit ABC hear the fulness of Harriet’s story.

Paul is such a fantastic host/decent. He really knows his subject and presents the history in such an engaging way.

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 ❤️

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.

Great place to buy stone and mulch and truckloads and their homemade goodies is always a perk to stop in

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.

Filmore Glenn State Park is a well-maintained park with good staff, costing $8 to enter. It features a great pavilion, swimming, and camping areas. I chose the recommended 1.5-mile Gorge Trail for a scenic hike, but it was cut short by a hazardous, out-of-order bridge; a warning sign at the trailhead would have been appreciated. The park also hosts weddings, with restrooms and another pavilion visible from the Gorge Trail. Overall, it was a good mid-day hike experience.

The trails and waterfalls are beautiful. Well worth a bit of hiking. The road to the upper area is extremely rough so be warned. The Cowshed Falls are a must see. The camping is open field right on top of each other at the road's edge.

Gorge trail was awesome, both rim trails were very scenic. All trails were well maintained. South rim was moderate hike. North rim from entrance is a steep hike up stairs to start then nice trail after. Also appreciate all the tables and benches along the rim trails especially right at the top of both rim trails. Perfect resting spot after the climbs.

Nature's wonderful spot, there's tables & some grills first comes get them 😁, bathrooms n showers, nice playground, 1 hoop but it's located in the parking lot, usually people don't park near, there's camping sites available, there's long & multiple trails to choose, the trails are not leveled, some stairs in areas, multiple wooden bridges, stunning views, you will connect with nature, 1 of the trails you walk most of the time by the water, is so relaxing 😌, they have a seasonal natural pool, no chlorine or stagnant water, with a designated area to jump in while the lifeguards are on watch, is truly a gem, make sure to bring trash bags with you to keep clean this amazing place. There's a small fee for cars. 1 volleyball net.

Fabulous walk and stunning views along the Gorge Trail. Not a difficult hike. Lots of waterfalls and shade.

One of the nicest State Park campgrounds I've been to. Sites are huge but the campground itself is small. Great hiking trails

Fillmore Glen State Park is a very nice state park. The best part of the park is hiking the gorge trail. It has beautiful scenery, picturesque waterfalls, and is nice and cool on a summer day. The gorge trail is a moderate hike, with few challenging spots. If you are just hiking the gorge trail it is a 2.5 mile out and back hike. The trails around the gorge are nice, but don’t offer the same beauty that the gorge trail does. Compared to other similar NY State Parks like Watkins Glen, this trail is easy and much less crowded. Parking here for day use is easy. There are campsites in the park and they looked nice. Add this hike to the list of the most gorgeous places in Central New York.

This winery is part of Farm Fest & I had never been to a winery so, we went today. Gorgeous grounds, wonderful staff & the owner was so nice & informative. We were able to take a beautiful tour with the owner & learned how winery is made. From root to your belly! I thought it was very interesting!

This winery has an amazing view facing the Finger Lakes with a patio to sit, drink, eat and relax . It was my first time vising a vineyard, and I was impress, Beautifully manicured garden and a Relaxing Gazebo seating area to taste the local family owned wine. I had such a beautiful experience just walking through the grapevines and just tasting a few, from right off the vine.

The property and views are great. The sweet Riesling was my favorite, the reds I tried were pretty good.

Anyela's Vineyard is the gem of Vineyards in Skaneateles! It is also the only one I am aware of given the high cost of land in the area. This large vineyard offers some great views, a nice facility and the best reds I have ever had in New York State! All of the (4) reds I tried were amazing and unique. The whites were a hit a well and on par or better than most others in the region. We came at an off peak time of year, but we can see how this location would be packed during prime season. They have a jazz festival with attracts thousands of visitors each year. There is a specialty room (lower level accessed from outside) which is available for parties. Carter was our wine expert on our visit. From the area and knowledgeable not only about the winery but the lake and geography of the area as well. Who knew it is the finger lake at the highest elevation and boasts some of the cleanest water in the United States. He added interesting insight to our experience. We will return again! HINT: If you are looking for an excuse to visit the area (Summer concerts and live music along with a Charles Dickenson Christmas Carol events during the weekend (the later in town). The area is beautiful and somewhere worthy of checking out!

Love this winery! Great staff. Beautiful views.. amazing wine... thank you!!

Good service, nice flight sampler of white wine and beautiful space indoor and out. We were able to enjoy a stunning fall day on the patio overlooking the lake.

The wine is fantastic. Definitely taking a bottle with us. <Edit> Came back to get four more bottles of wine the next day. Well worth 45 minute trip out and back.

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.

This is my go to place when I want clarity and peace of mind!! Walking the 3 mile trail especially now that they replaced all the wood on the boardwalk, it's absolutely beautiful. The fresh air, the different kinds of trees. Just taking it all in. Ohhh n the main building inside is nice too. Clean restrooms, a bird watching enclosed area, a book store. Great place to spend a day at!!

I used to come here as a kid and this was my first time in maybe 20 years. I hiked the bog trail and it was beautiful. I thought it was really neat that there were pitcher plants growing wild along the trail. Just on a short walk I saw a kingfisher, redwing blackbird, woodpecker, and maybe 10 chipmunks, not bad for such a short trail. I also appreciate that they are trying to keep it natural and don’t allow dogs (I love dogs just not on nature trails). Signage was good. The trails were clear, clean (no litter) and quiet even though the place seemed very busy!

Beautiful trails. The lake loop is amazing now! Well done on rebuilding the walkway! Overall, this is a great place to get away for a couple of hours to relax, do photography, bird watch and enjoy nature.

Took a walk around the updated trail around the lake. Beautiful day, dry footing everywhere and finally some safety measures on the raised wooden platforms/walkways. Much harder to just step or fall off them! Low bug day, lol. Very nice improvement to the lake walk. $5 ENTRANCE CASH OR CREDIT

A great place to get back to nature and enjoy the outdoors. Easy to walk trails, plenty of signage to keep you on track as well. Rented canoes for a Scout outing. Great experience, and everything was included from paddles to life jackets.

Lots of interesting paths and plants; some paths have informational signs and some have benches. There is a raised viewing platform (with stairs) along one path. Not sure how handicap-friendly the paths are. Saw few animals, but my companion has seen some on prior visits. Nice staff at main building. Seriously needs trail markers including path names and distances, especially to direct visitors back to the parking lot.
