Absolutely worth the trip. This was a wonderful experience. There are so many beautiful animals. Some were not visible as they were hiding or sleeping. There are many parks and lots of shade! My kids and I agreed it was a wonderful experience. The staff were extremely friendly. Dakota who checked us in was extremely helpful patient and kind a great employee!
Plenty of animals. Nice place to visit with children. Lots of walking. There's a hop on hop off tram that keeps moving about the place. Animals are in enclosed spaces though (unlike Cambridge African Safari where they roam around freely) and sometimes they won't show. Lots of interesting birds too. Best to avoid going when it's too warm.
Celebrated my daughter's 2nd birthday with their wildest birthday package and it was fantastic. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Being on the giraffe deck and being able to see them up close and having a private feeding time was incredible. My daughter absolutely loved it. Lots of activities to keep your little ones entertained as well as the adults. All of the parents in the group had a great time, some even more than the kids. Highly recommend visiting. Get there early as there are lots of activities to partake in and the walk around the safari to see the animals does take some time.
I had such a great time on this safari! There isn’t a guide, but that actually made it fun to explore at your own pace. Be ready to walk a lot, but they also have a little train/shuttle that takes you to different sections which was super convenient. The highlight for me was definitely feeding the giraffes — such an amazing experience! I also enjoyed the food stalls; they had nice options that made the day even better. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and memorable visit.
We had such a wonderful time at Niagara Safari! The place is clean, well-maintained, and very family-friendly. Our little daughter (just 17 months old) absolutely loved seeing the animals and was so excited throughout the visit. It was such a joy to watch her reactions. The staff were kind and helpful, and the overall experience was relaxing and fun. Highly recommend for families with young kids – we’ll definitely be back and get seasonal pass next year
What a beautiful place this is. Wonderful place to take kids and for adults as well. It will take one full day to see all the animal species. They have tigers, bears, giraffes, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, kangaroos, ostrich and many more. It is also equipped with splash pads and many other kids activities. Ticket price varies from season to season and if you want to skip the line, buy tickets online. If you are bringing kids and forgot your stroller, you can rent strollers and other carriers for smooth ride. There is a toy train that takes you on a tour of whole park. If you want to walk, that is also an option. For adults, there is paddle boating activity. It is extremely beautiful. Parking lot is huge and is free. Depending on what time you get there you might have to park at a distance. If you want to walk inside safari it might be around 2-3 km loop if you want to see all the animals. You can also do partial on train and partial on foot or you can view everything from the train.
Was our first time, walked the whole park. Definitely need a wagon. Its a big safari, my daughter had a great time. The splash pad was probably her favorite part ha. Though I wish they had showers, or even just a shower head on the side of the building. Would be good to rinse off. Looking forward to our next visit.
It's the best place to visit with kids. I would recommend to check he schedule for the events like Keeper Talks and Shows. The Pedal Go-Kart and Pedal Boat is another attraction. Also, it's has a big plat area for the kids with splash pad. Also recommend to go as early so as to spend maximum time here.

What a great Fort, and way to learn about the War of 1812. My grandmother used to bring me here in 1968. Fort is still as historically relevant and charming as ever. Great way to teach children about an often forgotten war.
Old Fort Erie is a national historic landmark located on 350 Lakeshore Rd. in Fort Erie, Ontario. The fort is very well preserved and in immaculate condition. There are daily tours, musket demonstrations and annual special events like the Siege of Old Fort Erie reenactment and the Speaker Series. There is a historic monument commemorating, the fallen soldiers of the war of 1812 in addition to a museum with much historical information relating to the Ford as well as the war of 1812. The site is a true pleasure to visit. Tickets are required and parking is free. The Fort is located on an elevated area overlooking the Niagara river and Lake Erie and the city of Buffalo absolutely spectacular views and wonderful visit to this historical landmark. I highly recommend.
Really cool historical site and totally worth visiting! Old Fort Erie gives you such an interesting glimpse into Canada’s history and the War of 1812. The staff and guides are amazing — super friendly, knowledgeable, and really bring the stories to life with their passion and details. 🏰🇨🇦 The re-enactments and demonstrations make it even more engaging, and the layout of the fort is well preserved, so you can actually picture how soldiers lived back then. There’s a nice mix of indoor exhibits and outdoor areas to explore, plus great views of the Niagara River. It’s quiet, educational, and surprisingly fun — great for both history buffs and families. Definitely recommend stopping by if you want to experience a different side of Niagara beyond the waterfalls!
My boys and I had a great time and experience here at old fort Erie. We watch an episode of ghost adventures that was filmed here. They were super excited. The musket demonstration was fantastic.
Well worth a visit. Under 18s free. Staff excellent. Information video to start and then a costume dressed guide takes you round. We had Ethan and he was so good. Very informative. My kids loved it here. Lovely gift shop area and small cafe. Excellent parking, loads of space, even for RVs. Easy to get to. We visited before we crossed into the USA on our road trip. It's a great stop on this route as it's so close to the customs border. Great place to soak up some history.
We had an excellent time at the fort complex. It began with a ~20 minute film on the fort and war of 1812 followed by a tour of the entire fort. The tour took over an hour, and our guide”Sarah “ did a great job and patiently answered our questions. We also saw a musket firing. There were other displays set up in fort buildings to see on our own. Reenactors dressed in period clothing. After that walked through a very modern and well laid out museum with artifacts and soldiers stories. Has a nice cafe and gift shop. Good, free parking onsite.
This is a beautiful War of 1812 fort with adjacent museum. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to take in the reenactments. Be prepared for loud weaponry demonstrations. There is a gift shop and small cafe. Perfect for history buffs.
Excellent place for stunning views of Lake Erie & a superb historical experience at OLD fort erie where it feels as of you are actually in that time period and place, plan in advance for the weather as the attraction is outdoors.

15 mins tops! Several lanes were open. Efficiency is clearly important. It was even a weekend day, during su.mer season.
Very cool bridge! When we went, back in late May, there were prom pictures happening on it so it was quite rowdy and crowded! Very cool views though.
Great views of crossing over lake Erie. Coming back home to Canada 🇨🇦 is great. Border security personnel at our Canadian side are more welcoming and humble. Love my home Canada 🇨🇦
It was ambition to cross the Peace bridge which is between USA and Canada by foot. Well, the day i selected was not favourable as it was too windy and cold. I didn't get much time to record videos as my cap was blown away. The area I wanted to see was the sea barrier between these two countries and it was awesome. Scenery was studding and bit feary too...
I had an exciting experience crossing this bridge on foot. It took me about 15min.
It is cool to see Lake Eerie to you left and the Niagra river headed towards the falls on your right. You can also see the Canal. The border at the time if our crossing (about 5:00pm on a Saturday) into Canada was quick. It may be helpful to add that it was the same night as game 7 of the World Series in Toronto and the very next day was a big game against the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs. We came back the next day over the rainbow Bridge crossing and that took about 45mins.
I've always used this place to cross between the US and Canada. Never had any issues. Both sides have been really amazing. Both sides of border patrol have been great! I've never had any troubles and everything went smoothly
Dear Canadians, I want to share my very disappointing experience at the Canadian border (Peace Bridge) on November 7, 2025. I had driven over 400 km to the U.S. to buy small Christmas gifts for my grandchildren in Florida, since many Canadian stores have closed and our Canadian credit cards are declined when shopping online at most U.S. stores. When I returned to Canada, I declared all my purchases honestly, but was treated with unnecessary rudeness and aggression by a border officer in window 12. I was sent for a full car inspection and spoken to as if I were a criminal — all over a few small Christmas gifts worth $150. I explained to the officers that my husband in usa now and cant order these small gifts online as our cabadian cards are rejected by regulations. I explained nicely that these gifts are coming with me back to Florida within a week with a proof of my teckets. But The officers sent 6 officers to fully inspect my car. And another officers were rude as well , showed no kindness or respect to their own Canadian citizens and the experience left me in tears and shaking hands. I respect the job our border officers do, but I wish they would remember that they are dealing with honest, law-abiding Canadians — people who deserve to be treated with dignity and basic human respect. May be you all are so happy with your job today, but think twice if God is happy with how you are dealing with own Canadian citizens and people overall! Canada is not Welcoming Country anymore!!!

We had a great time loved the horse races. the dog races was a hoot they was so cute and fun. Free parking and free entry We will be back
2 employees at betting counters. Speaking to the male, he was eating a bag of chips and some was spitting out as he spoke. You'd think he would adjust but he kept eating and talking. Later, we approached the lady and she was pleasant and helpful. One table had the pedestal unattached. Could have been disaster with drinks. However, staff was nice and races were on time and fun. We'll go back next season.
It was a first time here for the whole family!! What a great time!! Parking was free, entry was free. The food was reasonably priced. The horse races were great! And the weiner dogs races were super fun/funny as well! We didn't bet any money as we wanted to see what happens first. We will definitely be coming back in August for the basset hound races!!
We had a good time at Fort Erie Racetrack. The kids really enjoyed themselves and it was a fun outing overall. The food was on the pricier side, and the crowd was very scarce, which made the atmosphere a little quieter than expected. Still, it was a nice day out and worth the visit.
What a blast. We went to a food truck race festival. The horses were so beautiful. The roast pig was out if this world. Staff are lovely. Can't wait to go back!
Amazing staff, good food, for holidays they get right into it and decorate!! Not only can you enjoy some food inside or outside but you can also watch some horse races!!!
I have so much fun here. Free parking. All ages welcomed. Betting only for age 18 or more. Have food stall at reasonable price. Nice ticket ladies to help us as we have known noyhing about racing and betting. 'The Beatles' bands live performance after all the racing.
Had a fun time. Food options are very limited, wish more people could visit, I know it will not get back its former glory but it deserves better.

My mom recently got married here and it was such a beautiful experience! We would recommend Kim and her beautiful venue to anyone looking for their own little slice of paradise to be married at. From the beginning of the process, Kim was very clear in her communication and booking was very simple. Day of, she is so organized and directed the ceremony in a sweet and caring manner. Her venue is just stunning, and the photographer captured our day perfectly. Our entire family was blown away with just how perfect the day went! This is the way weddings should be! Stress free, beautiful and entirely focused on the happy couple!
Our wedding was a last minute decision and we were able to plan the perfect day with the help of Kathy and Kim. It all came together in 10 days as we decided that our vacation the first week of July would be the ideal time. We are both in our 60s and had already done the “big” wedding when we were young. We wanted the day to be classy and intimate. Originally we had thought Vegas would be the place but we decided to keep it Canadian. Niagara is the honeymoon capital of the world so why not get married there too! We needed hotel accommodations since we live 800 km away and a hair stylist and a florist. Their list of approved vendors helped make the organization stress free. It was a beautiful venue with all the details well executed…from the vows to the photography to capture our special day. It was easy to select a package that met our dreams. Thank you to Kathy and Kim!
We got married this past Monday and had a beautiful time! We got really lucky with the weather and had a sunny day. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by trees and green everywhere. There are cute signs around the property and the little chalpel fits the space perfectly. We were looking for something private, quick and romantic and got exactly that! Definitely exceeded my expectations! Thank you for everything Kim, Kathy and Jenn!
The gals at Elope Niagara really have their sh_ _ together. lol .. Their years of experience was on full display. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. They had the exact type of wedding ceremony that we were looking for and they executed beautifully. Booking was easy and the service was down to earth, friendly and professional. Kathy was a pleasure. She reached out to us within minutes and was lightning quick to respond to any of our inquires (even on the weekend!). She presided over the ceremony and then expertly directed our photoshoot. The chapel and the grounds were the perfect backdrop for our special day. I would absolutely recommend Elope Niagara Log Wedding Chapel for all your eloping needs. Thanks making our special day perfect!
Elope Niagara was a beautiful spot for our small wedding. The staff were very organized and friendly. Their instructions were informative and clear. The location was gorgeous and the cabin was so cute. The price was very afordable. The day was perfect for us.
I feel like this would be the best place to get married at if you want it in a very intimate way or if you’re like us who are very shy and don’t like the whole big production of a wedding! I would 100% recommend this place to couples looking for an easy and stress free ceremony venue. Also recommend availing the phone photography!
My now husband and I were together 30 years before marriage. We wanted a quick and easy wedding. Kim & Kathy were great. They provided us with exactly what we wanted. The venue is beautiful, cozy and private. Perfect for a small intimate wedding! The photography was excellent, we like it so much, we bought all digital photos taken. Their prices was fair and affordable. I am more then satisfied with the entire experience, and would recommend Elopeniagara to couples who are looking to elope or have a small wedding. Thank you Kim & Kathy for making mine and John's wedding special. It was exactly what we wanted and it was beautiful! Mr & Mrs. J. Martin
We had the most amazing wedding at Elope Niagara. We travelled over from England to elope and Kim and Kathy were so helpful and answered all our questions before we made our trip. They’re also super quick at getting back to you The location was absolutely stunning and Kim’s photography skills were brilliant so I would highly recommend opting for the photography add-on. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!

I love the milk chocolate covered sponge toffee here, it is simply world class phenomenonal. I really like the caramel as well. Staff are always super friendly and amazing. Love the cozy little shop and how almost everything is made in house.
A great stop for chocolate treats. Very friendly employees behind the counter and tons of tasty chocolate options from a local business.
Nigh’s sweet shop offers an extremely wide range of chocolates! I was encouraged to try the caramel caramel corn and oh boy I’m glad I did! It’s definitely worth $5.99 and I will be coming back for more! They have many truffle and buttercream options which were super rich and fantastic. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful!
Hi, I hope you’re doing well! I wanted to bring something to your attention regarding your chocolates. I recently received a box as a gift, and while they were beautifully made, I didn’t realize that all of them contained Irish cream and liqueur because there was no label indicating it on the packaging. Since I don’t consume alcohol for religious reasons, this was quite concerning for me. I believe it would be really helpful if boxes with alcohol-infused chocolates were clearly labeled, so customers can make informed choices. I wanted to share this feedback with kindness, as I truly appreciate the effort you put into your chocolates. Thank you for your time
Lovely people as soon as you walk in the door. And what a wonderful, delicious smell! I make my own chocolates using basic melting chocolate wafers - but the chocolate used by Nigh's is, by far, the nicest and smoothest I've ever tasted (and I happily taste test ANY handmade chocolate). It was dreamy 🥰. And the fillings we've tried so far - DEVINE! Worth a stop if you're in the area. In fact, WELL WORTH A TRIP JUST TO VISIT NIGH'S!
My grandma Marianne Daley used to work here before she passed away, luckily I got the chance to meet all of her cloest coworkers and see how cholocate is made! Seeing the owner Rebecca just made my day today!! It brought back so many memories when my grandma was alive and it felt like she was there with me!! Rebecca and her staff were very loving, happy and heartwarming as always 💖 I was so happy with the cholocate I bought, the experience being in there again and most importantly how amazing the staff were to my son!! Thank you guys for everything!! The cholocate is always so yummy!! You guys brought back so many happy memories!! I love you guys thank you for everything you guys do and more!! 🙏 💖💖 Your number 1 customer 💖 Love Jade ❤️
High quality tasty chocolate treats. Great customer service too.

Small but has some interesting artifacts from the First Nations .1812 war up to the modern Crystal beach amusement park And Free at this time. Sadly free might be less than certain as the present council monitorise anything that the local tax payers like to enjoy For Example . The beautiful beach in Crystal Beach which is off limits to those who cannot afford to pay May as well be a private country club.
Great museum with lots of local history - bigger on the inside! Gift shop with souvenirs & historical books.
Considering the size of this museum, there is quit a bit of interesting things in the museum. The only downside was that it was fairly small as I previously mentioned. I recommended that if you are visiting something else in the area that you stop by this place and check it out, it's worth the visit.
Nicely done .. great overview of the growth of FE and the current Crystal Beach park display
Very small. But very well put together. Overall it was a positive experience
There's not much in it but if you want to know anything about ridgeway the curator will answer every question.

The Sanctuary is a wonderful hidden gem in quaint Ridgeway. I have seen a number of concerts here with my wife and/or friends. It's an amazing venue in every way! Brimstone brew pub is on site, so have a drink and a bite before a show. They have brought in some impressive bands for such an intimate venue, such as The Trews, Skydiggers, Dear Rouge, Hollerado, Reuben and the Dark and Whitehorse. Awesome!
Andy on far right from Revive The Rose and the Texas King band. Amazing show. Not to big of a venue which I liked. Was here before to see Ashley McIsaac, I highly recommend coming here to see a show.
I've held a couple markets in the hall and Nadine is an absolute doll to work with. Super helpful and such a sweetheart, I couldn't imagine working with another venue. If you're looking for a space, you cant beat Sanctuary. Its visually stunning, fully accessible, and a great location in the heart of charming Ridgeway. Can't wait til the next event!
The Brimstone Brewery was fantastic. Great beers to choose from and the staff was on top of everything on a very busy night. They even support local original artists like Jeff Beadle which really shows they understand the value of music and how important it is to the restaurant business. Highly recommend this place!
This was my first time here. It used to be a church from the looks of it. Great place for a concert. The show was amazing! This venue rocks. The acoustics were superb. I loved everything about this place.
Great little concert hall, very intimate. Holds maybe 200 people. Nice that they have local craft beer on tap instead of the mega brands. Would definitely recommend checking it out.
Great show! Nice place!
Great sound and I'm glad there was seating. Some one told us there wasn't. Saw Bootleg Creedance and they were awesome. Very talented group! Only complaint was people in the back talking during show.

Great spot for a walk about. Relocated train station from Ridgeway. Locomotive. And plane in Sugarbowl Park with dog park, pond, walking park and lots of green space. Beautiful
I visited here as a spontaneous stop on a pleasant road trip. Small little gift shop, interesting historical information, learned a lot of information about the area. We paid no fees.
I wish it were bigger and had more info about the history of the place. Great old engine that is sitting there but not much else to discover. I believe the old Grand Trunk Line was not far from this site.
There's a huge locomotive train to see! (Nothing else)😆 but it is worth 👌🏽
We had a great experience here. It was a bit of a short visit, but my son really loved it. Shout out to the gift shop for having lots of toys at affordable prices. My only warning is that the gift shop only takes cash so I can only spend the few dollars I had in my pocket otherwise I probably would’ve spent more to be honest.
If you have a small child, this is one of those places that you’ll only ever leave when you’ve reached the point that you simply need to drag them away screaming (I mean that as a positive, not a negative). It shares a property with the fire station, where they have a small fire truck that your child can get in. At the fire station they gave us a colouring book, plastic helmit, rub-on tattoo, and badge sticker. There’s also a vintage plane on display across the parking lot. We went when it was “closed” on a Monday. This did not matter, as the only place that was off-limits was the inside of the old train station, which has some displays but was not strictly necessary to enjoy the site. All-told: your 3-7 year-old will love it. And there are plaques with information around the train that are also interesting to the grown-ups!
Fun little museum great for kids and railway lovers.
This was one of the places we would always stop at when my family and I would travel to the Niagara Region for our summer vacation when I was a kid. Stopped in to reconnect with my youth as well as with the memory of my dad (he used to work as a fireman on 4-8-4s out of Hornpayne back in the day). It was a bit of an emotional visit. Sadly to to preservation work being done/needed you can't enter the locomotive cab or the caboose at this time.

Nice little spot to hike. Easy walk if you stay on the main paths. No real challenges but very muddy in Spring on the non groomed trails.
Beautiful place to have a reception / family get together! The staff was very helpful and lovely to deal with. The venue is perfect for 80 - 100 guests. Perfect if you are nature lovers like myself and my husband. Our family and friends had a blast! Thanks for the amazing experience Stevensville Conservation Area! Highly recommend booking their hall for an event.
Good for evening walks with friends. Not a great place for walking alone.
This park is a hidden gem. Beautiful trails in all four seasons. Loads of picnic spots. Never crowded.
I was there on Canada day, we were the only people there, I believe everyone was at Crystal Beach, it's very big, only one place with shade and benches, it's suitable for picnics but u must bring ur own chairs, the pond is very narrow with no ducks in
Beautiful place to spend time with friends or family Love the atmosphere Lovely view Amazing trails 👣 Will spend more time there in future It's huge so not able to explore every inch but sure every inch will be Beautiful
Nice place to have a picnic. Short walk around the pond.

Great open space, very quiet, and plenty of information on the historic battle.
Great historical site with a huge shade and benches
On June 2, 1866, a battle was fought here between British/ Canadian Forces and American-based Fenian raiders. On site, there is a monument dedicated to those who fought here and some interpretive boards explaining why this battle took place. Hallowed ground.
Informative historical stop on hwy 3. Read well written panels explaining the battle that took place on the site. Picturesque well maintained grass area for strolling, washroom facilities available.
Very good information provided
Very interesting although it's a minor skirmish
Small and underwhelming battlefield, but nonetheless an important historic site and worth a visit to understand Canada's history.
Such a nice tribute to an incident that has been forgotten about yet was critical in pushing along confederation

Lots of challenges to make the game interesting! Each hole has its own unique surprises! My score was totally out there! It means I need to play it again and again!! I really enjoyed the whole course!!
Pleasantly surprised! Upon arrival the course representatives were welcoming and attentive. Course was well groomed and maintained and loved the satellite golf cart with ball and an iron cleaner! Price was on par to similar courses and found the course not overly challenging and ideal for mid to high handicappers who are working to improve their game. Will definitely come back and next time I’ll make time to try their clubhouse menu.
Played this course for the first time and loved the layout. Fair price per round as well. Loved the club house, good food and well priced drinks. A friend and I are considering memberships next year. Really like this place. Also love having a cart with GPS in it, top marks..
Not that accomodating. Though we are booked through under par, we felt liked second-class citizen. Golfing with seniors and coming from Toronto, we were never informed that power carts are not allowed until that same morning. No alternate arrangement were offered, just a suggestion from the pro shop to play somewhere else. Very un-professional staff in the pro-shop. Will not recommend this golf course!!!
We played a fun round on this well kept and enjoyably challenging course. The staff are great, friendly and helpful. Would certainly be happy to play there again and recommend it without hesitation.
Stopped here for dinner and genuinely had the BEST fish and chips I’ve had!!! The service from the server and the kitchen is outstanding! Sometimes they are open later than 6pm for dinner, I just call to confirm. This place is such a beautiful hidden gem!
The golf was good, course was ok. To expensive for what it is though. 20 bucks per person for a cart so 40$ on top of 35 for 9 holes?!?!? Its cow pasture and farm land . Late for our tee time because we were waiting for a cart. Then they had the people after us already set up at the tee. Pace was ok but this rushed game of golf is uniquely canadian. I don't know if it happened during covid or it's just greed but space groups out more , i can see why it's not a farm anymore.Because good farmers know you need irrigation, this course was like playing in a parking lot.It was so hard ground was so dry that the carry on them was 100 yards or more sometimes. Definitely lost more balls due to this . Greens were super dry and fast. Reccomend irons only if its dry and you aren't a 75 year old guy .
Course was challenging but good....Carts a little to much with the LED screens running it....but nine and dine outstanding the food was top notch so was the staff....8 of us got to enjoy this.....Highly recommend the Food here....

I am proud to have my Sun Life Financial business down town and love all the local eats. The Cookhouse, The Old Bank Bistro, Sub Culture and The Savoury Bean too name just a few. We have great banks, accountants, laywers and tax professionals. Some great little shops and retail shops have been also popping up. Love the festivals, bunny hop and Halloween trick or treat where kids pop in for candy from all the businesses and The Annual stellar haunted house at The Community Bell Tower among one of their many!
It's really getting cleaned up. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Great place for your events

We got married at HMC in July 2022 and absolutely loved having our ceremony at this charming little chapel! Our guests had nothing but great things to say about how beautiful and quaint the chapel is. Cathy was a pleasure to work with, from the moment we first reached out, to the day of our wedding and everything in between. We’re so happy to have chosen this venue for our ceremony and it will always hold a special place in our hearts!
Lovely little chapel along Lake Erie. Summer Sunday services at 10am.
Was there for a dedication of a new baby in the family. First time visiting. A lovely little chapel.
