Top 50 things to do and attractions in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Nice to see that this venue is still great and has kept up with the times. Seats are very comfortable for longer performances and the slope of the theatre is great. You have a great view even in the second last row of orchestra. Came to see Anything Goes and the production was excellent. Really high production value. Exceeded my expectations.

We attended a ‘Sunday Coffee Concert’ at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The musical performance was led by Music Director Paul Sportelli and supported by members of the Shaw Festival. Playing to a full house audience, singer Jay Turkey joined the musicians in a beautiful version of La Vi e en Rose. The facility, performance and beautiful surroundings of Niagara made for a precious summer musical visit!

First timer yesterday, the theater is very nice, spacious and clean. A nice lobby café and refreshment available before and during intermission as well as little gift shop! The play we saw was "Wait Until Dark" it was a great night out, actors was amazing, the lighting and music everything was just great! The seats and view were great and comfy! Love the under 35 years old pricing they have available! We will be back!

The play at the Shaw festival what is absolutely fantastic. Niagara on the lake was spectacular. The floral display within the town was in full bloom. All the unique shops we're very busy in the streets were filled with people. It was a wonderful experience!

Had a wonderful evening at The Shaw, we enjoyed the show, “One Man, Two Guvnors”. Looking forward to my next visit!

Took the "behind the scenes" tour. It was fantastic seeing all the operations involved in putting on a show. The guides were very knowledgeable and it was really amazing seeing what goes on!!!

Went to see Murder on the Lake matinee - Friday Oct 3. Loved the play. I didn’t know anything about it, so loved the interactive twist component. Highly recommend! Theatre was packed for the 1pm show! Staff were incredibly friendly. Great experience. There is an option discussion component at the end of the performance.

Interesting information at the site. Really nice area. Great place to visit. Was fun to see the fife and drum muster with multiple groups present with music demonstrations and musket firing demonstrations. Will come again. Nice that it's free to visit this year (although worth the visit even if you had to pay).

Exceeded expectations and spent more time here than originally planned. Plus in 2025, it is free (except for parking). In addition to a number of buildings with so much historical information and artifacts, there were period dressed staff who were there to provide information or answer your questions. While there, there was a parade to raise the flag, a musket demonstration and a talk about the War of 1812 under some trees. And so dog friendly as we were able to carry our smaller pups into the buildings. Well done!

A very interesting historical site to visit while in the town of niagara on the lake. There were live firing demonstrations then which was cool. Its a big site with underground tunnels, watch towers etc and very relaxing to just walk around and learn about the historical significance of the fort. Highly recommend to drop by while visiting the town

My 13 year old sons and I went here and we just loved it! There were several different learning demonstrations and such a great staff. Super cool place to visit! I highly recommend it.

The Battle of Fort George was fought at this National Historic Site during the War of 1812. It was an American victory and, during the Battle, which was fought in May, 1813 the Fort was almostv entirely destroyed. Although the British retook the fort, they put litte effort into its reconstruction. The only original building on site is a gunpowder magazine. The current Fort was reconstructed in the 1930s. The museum at the fort contains many exhibits that oroginate from the War of 1812 period. The staff and reinactors are amazing.

Our first visit and we were totally bowled over by the experience. They have several presentations, and all of them were comprehensive, informative, and fun! Very impressive presenters, indeed. We even got to taste the cookies and cake that the presenter made based on the original recipes. It's great fun for all ages, and it's free! A must visit place!

This was such an amazing experience. The staff were absolutely amazing, friendly and so informative. The area is steeped in the history of the War of 1812. I loved seeing crew in the uniforms marching around. The musket display was an experience. Fully recommend visiting Fort George

The Niagara apothecary is an absolutely stunning piece of pre-Confederation architecture. The building was built in the 1820s and became a pharmacy after extensive renovations in 1866. It remained a pharmacy until 1964. Paid Street parking is available. Excellent place to visit to understand the history of the town.

Most people probably walk right past this place, but if you open the heavy door, you’ll find yourself enchanted by a collection of historic medicine bottles that make you forget the noise outside. It’s rare to see them preserved in such beautiful condition, and they hold great historical value. If the museum happens to be open, consider yourself lucky. Be sure to check it out!

Finally able to stop in for a visit and was not disappointed. So many neat collections from the old pharmacy and preserved how it was back in the 18-1900s. The loveliest gentleman shared some of the interesting history of this place, I would highly recommend taking a peak while you’re in NOTL.

Free to visit or donation. This was once the oldest pharmacy in Ontario. Increible to see how well it is maintained. Nice displays inside for all to see. Some gifts can be purchased inside. It is nice to see what things looked like back in the day. Very interested. No free WiFi. Everything is in English. Come in and look and make a donation.

Very cool to read about the history of medicine at this museum. After walking in, it feels like you stepped back in time with how many pieces of history they have in there. Looks like they kept all the original medicine bottles. Great place to pass the time and it’s free. As we were passing to leave, we saw some very cool coasters and decided to purchase some.

Packed full of history and set up like you walked back into a time long ago. I described it to my mom as the "pharmacy in It's a Wonderful Life"...so beautiful.

The Niagara Apothecary in Niagara-on-the-Lake is an utterly charming little gem that feels like stepping back in time. Quaint and full of character, it’s less about practicality and more about delighting in the experience. While the items inside may not be essential, browsing through its vintage remedies and quirky products is a wonderful way to spend a leisurely afternoon. It’s the perfect spot to splurge a bit—more for the story than the substance—and the kind of place you’ll happily share with friends just to say, “I’ve been there.” A whimsically quaint stop that captures a bit of old-world magic.

Situated in the town of Niagara-on-the-lake, this park is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the town. A stretch of lawn with benches for a small picnic or a small beach area to relax and have fun. A small pathway that is nice with a great view of lake Ontario. Just across the street is parking and it is conveniently located near the downtown area. A perfect tourist attraction, period.

The Queen's Royal Park is a beautiful park in the Niagara-on-the-Lake region where people can walk, sit and relax. The view of the lake is wonderful. People can have picnics with family and friends and enjoy during summers. There are designated parking lots close to the park where one can easily pay for parking their vehicles. Downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake is just walking distance from the park and has some great shops, cafes and restaurants.

Explored this lovely park when visiting the niagara falls. You can see the downtown Toronto from there, especially when the sky is clear. The lake looks really blue, and its so peaceful to walk around. Definitely worth a visit during your trip! :)

We love visiting the picturesque Queens Royal Park whenever we are in Niagara-on-the Lake region. The Gazebo acts as a beautiful and romantic backdrop for pictures! The place is ideal for a picnic or a romantic stroll. We love going there for an amazing sunset view over Lake Ontario.

Very scenic park along the Lake Ontario. Park is maintained well and maybe crowded during weekends. Mandatory paid parking. Washrooms are available and it’s very clean and well maintained. Toronto skyline maybe visible if the sky is clear . Some buildings like old Niagara fort at USA side is clearly visible. This place is something unique.

This was my first time going to Canada. I saw online, when I was planning my trip to Niagara Falls, that Niagara on the Lake was a must see. I have to agree now that I've been. It's a very beautiful place the flowers are so pretty and well kept. We walked around town and to the lake. The lake is very nice as well. Benches in the shade to sit and admire the scenery. I'm very glad we didn't miss visiting here.

A perfect place to sit and look at the Fort, or the GTA skyline on a clear day. Highly recommend to first time visitors. Drive very slow in this area and you'll see tons of historic homes and structures. I'll definitely return to this park if I ever visit Niagara on the Lake again.

We visited the McFarland House, Friday July 25 th. Our visit started in the opulent gardens which were such a treat. They were a combination of Country English Garden that combined a fully versatile Kitchen Garden. What a world of abundance we would live in if we all planted with so much purpose and beauty. As we entered the house there were three hosts were bubbling around. They were full of so much joy and laughter. We signed up for a tour of the house to learn about the McFarland House, John McFarland and his family. That house had interesting features including the brickwork and the methods applied in building the house. Very interesting to anyone in construction or architecture. The guide highlighted many original features including peek holes into the original paints. The main stairway which was ahead of its time. The original locking mechanism on the front door. To one of the original cast iron heaters. Upstairs they have set up the main bedroom, a child’s bedroom, a servants room (Which in all likelihood would not have been in the main house.) and as the house was used as a hospital during the war of 1812 there was a soldiers room. This area is ripe in history especially of the war of 1812. It is the focus of the tour. My only disappointment was there was no mention of the history of of our First Nations and how this land came to be in the possession of the McFarlands. Not to takeaway from the families history. Yet to honour the history of these lands and how our country came to be. Our tour was about 45 mins. We had some wonderful conversations with our tour guide and shared some trips down memory lane. We were able to share living history of seeing some of the artifacts in use in our families homes. My Great Grandmother used a chamber pot and a bed warmer her passing in 1979. My Great Aunt always used a wash stand in her bedroom til early 1980’s There was a clay pipe similar to the one my husband had til 2020. We were then fortunate to stay for High Tea in their beautiful Tea Room in the Conservatory. They were served by the tour guides in period dress. The sandwiches were watercress, cucumber and turkey. The scones cheese and chive, berry and plain with jam , cream and butter. Finished with an assortment of desserts and fruits. You have a selection of teas to enjoy. We loved the Scottish Breakfast Tea. I indulged in a mimosa. My only regret was not taking a picture of the Lady with the Pearls. We are making plans to return for the Murder Mystery event they offer. Accessibility of the fist floor was great. Sadly being a period home the 2nd floor would not be available to wheel chair users. I left my walker used my cane and they did provide spots to sit along the way. If you wish to have high tea I would recommend reservations.

The McFarland House was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! The historic charm, lush gardens, and beautifully maintained grounds created the most romantic atmosphere for our special day. From the moment we arrived, it felt timeless and intimate — like we had stepped into a fairytale. The natural beauty of the property meant we hardly needed extra décor, and every spot was picture-perfect for photos. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning and unique the venue was. The staff was also wonderful and ensured everything went smoothly. We are so grateful to have had such a magical place to begin our married life — it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Historic house with cafe where you can have high tea. Tours are offered as well. High tea would cost about CAD 20 per person and the tour about CAD 8. Closed for rest of 2025, check website for open hours. This site is close to Niagara River and walking trails. Parking is free for paying customers.

Beautiful atmosphere, relaxing, really good tea, and the high tea had delicious food/dessert selection. The server was polite, very well versed and also very knowledgeable about all tea selections. It was a lovely afternoon.

A wonderful place for a picnic in a place of history. Well kept area outside, can't wait to do a tour inside. Found a snake on my walk here.

I had my bridal shower here and it was breathtakingly beautiful. The staff were amazing and so kind. They had setup such a beautiful event that included the high tea setup, drinks, personalized cookies and stationary. Everything was delicious and beautiful. I couldn’t have imagined a better place or team for this event.

Guided tour followed with afternoon tea. For 4 – guided tour $35.00 For 4 – afternoon tea spread $198.00 Guided tour was very informative, with a lovely kitchen garden. Staff were sweet, and the historical home is very well maintained. One of the menu options was the sandwich of the day — tomato with kale salad, both from their garden. I very much enjoyed this fresh garden option. I also selected iced tea and was glad it was more natural-tasting rather than filled with sugars.

Emma was very informative and patient!! She gave us a wonderful tour and we learned a bunch of facts we didn't know existed!! Kudos to Laura Secord! It also has Tesla destination charger!!

The homestead has this genuine, preserved vibe. As you stroll through its rooms, you can almost sense the Secord family’s presence and picture what life was like back in the early 19th century. With its period furniture and peaceful surroundings, it really takes you back in time. However, the real highlight of the visit is the amazing story of Laura Secord and her brave actions during the War of 1812. Her daring 32-kilometer trek through enemy territory to alert British troops about an upcoming American attack showcases the bravery and strength that marks a crucial moment in Canadian history. One of the best parts of our visit was definitely our guide. They were super knowledgeable, with an impressive understanding of Laura Secord, her family, the local history, and the larger context of the War of 1812. They didn’t just spit out facts; they made the story come alive with interesting anecdotes, vivid descriptions, and answers to all our questions. Their enthusiasm for the topic was contagious and really enhanced the whole experience, making the history feel real and relevant instead of just something from a textbook. Honestly, if you love history, this place is a must-visit. It’s not just a bunch of artifacts; it’s a powerful story brought to life by passionate storytellers. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about important Canadian tales, the homestead gives you deep insight into a key moment in the country’s past. In summary, the Laura Secord Homestead provides a unique and priceless historical experience. It stands as a symbol of courage, a glimpse into the past, and is an absolute must-see when you’re exploring the Niagara area. Highly recommended!

I've know a little bit about Laura Secord but this museum goes into more details than what little we learned in history class. Our guide was really good in explaining and reliving the famous journey of Laura Secord. If you like history and learning , this is a great place.

For Canadian history buffs! We loved the guided tour in which the guide was well informed and motivated. The house is filled with artifacts from the time of the War of 1812. Such a beautiful tribute to this Canadian heroine.

A nice stop in Queenston. I had my dog so I couldn't go inside but the outside was well kept. Lots of historical plaques.

Had not been since the candy company owned this Niagara Parks run spot and enjoyed the theatrical presentation very much! Have been following the War of 1812 path lately and glad to see the Indigenous warriors included in the updated history, would like to see more. Got Shut the Box at the gift shop!

One of my Canadian heroes is this lady right here. Was nice to be there on her birthday. Hats off to real Canadian history!

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.

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.

There was no wait when we arrived, which was great. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes — there's so much to see outdoors! The gardens are beautiful and very well-maintained, and there's also a cafe on-site if you want to grab a bite. The conservatory itself isn't very large and was a bit crowded when we visited, so we only spent a few minutes inside before heading out. There's also a gift shop, though it's mostly stocked with souvenirs and items for young kids. The real highlight is definitely the outdoor space. We loved exploring the gardens, and there’s even a golf course nearby. Highly recommended for a relaxed day out in nature!

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! 🎡🌊

Tourist from London, and I highly recommend the Niagara Skywheel, the view at night of the falls and the lights is worth it. The cabin is temp control so it was warm inside. We went around 5 times so the ride was worth it for the price. A nice thing to do with the family.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🎡 Niagara SkyWheel – A Must-Do Experience in Niagara Falls! 🌊🌆 The Niagara SkyWheel is hands down one of the best attractions in Niagara Falls 🙌.

Konzelmann Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake is a picturesque retreat set amid sprawling vineyards, offering a serene and beautiful setting. The vintage-style building is stunning, both inside and out, exuding classic charm that enhances the overall experience. The wine is truly divine—rich, flavorful, and well-crafted. The tasting session was enjoyable, allowing us to savor some excellent selections. However, the experience was slightly marred when our assigned staff member left mid-tasting for their break, leaving us momentarily unattended. For a paid experience, better coordination would have been ideal. Despite this hiccup, Konzelmann Winery remains a lovely spot for wine lovers. Just be aware that while the vineyard views are gorgeous, there’s no access to walk among the vines. Still, a great visit overall.

I felt bad for underestimating this winery. You don’t usually see many varieties of red wine from Konzelmann at the LCBO, but their selection here truly impressed me. All the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our guide, Gabriella, was amazing — she knew so much about wine, had a great sense of humor, and even took beautiful photos of us. Thank you! I can’t wait to try the Malbec barrel-aged red — such a unique and complex taste, like a rainbow of flavors! It has so much more with a sip! Absolutely amazing experience.

Konzelmann Winery in Niagara on the Lake is absolutely beautiful! The view from the upstairs area is impressive. You can see the vineyards and the lake, making it the perfect spot to relax and take it all in. Their peach wine slushies are also amazing! Refreshing, fun, and perfect for a warm day. Cute little backyard area to sit. It's definitely worth a visit!

Nice winery on the lake, with multiple different tasting areas and experiences. Though you can see the lake...the building and seating areas are not on the water. The wine was great and the tasting hosts were entertaining. When we went on a fall weekend, it was quite busy and we had to wait a bit to get a spot for tasting. Best to book ahead if you can. Definitely worth a stop.

We did a tour and tasting. The view from the winery is beautiful. We could see the lake. Tour was okay. She was okay. I felt it’s rushed. It’s a crowded place. So many people were there come and go. We wanted to try other wine too but the staff was too busy to deal with us. Peach wine was tasty. We bought one. Konzelmann is good for the experience and short stop to sample.

What a great tasting, with the joyful Donna as our master tastery-teacher! She told so much that I have forgotten what to remember. What I do remember is why we visited: icewine! Absolutely great taste, not to winey, but more the liquor I wanted and expected. And the view from the Winery to Toronto: priceless! Konzelmann and Donna won me over. But also the other staff members. Lovely place and a joy also for non-drinkers like me!

We had an amazing time at Konzelmann Estate Winery! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Each wine we tasted had distinct, delicious flavors – it was clear how much care goes into their winemaking. We enjoyed every moment of the tasting experience and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake!

We had a fantastic Sunday brunch at Treadwell Cuisine. We shared the seasonal peach, tomato, and burrata dish as well as the charcuterie selection. Both were spectacular. Standout entrees included the Lobster Club sandwich, the blueberry pancake, and the two egg breakfast with the fingerling potatoes and toast. Service was fantastic, everything was delivered straight from the kitchen piping hot, and we did not feel rushed at all. We enjoyed our meal and our visit. Highly recommend.

Overall a decent place for tourists looking for a place to sit down and eat. Reasonably priced for the area, the food comes well presented and in large portions, and they do try to make the taste of every dish interesting in some way. Not sure if the effort was made in the right direction though. The staff were all very nice, and the outdoor dining space has a nice vibe. Overall, I would still recommend this place over many other restaurants in the same area.

My husband and I recently used Treadwell as our catering service for our wedding at Ironwood Cider House and we were very impressed. We have been to the Treadwell restaurant as customers as well as for our wedding menu tasting and we have nothing but great things to say! The service and food was impeccable. We loved sitting in front of the kitchen watching the chefs work their craft. As for our catering at our wedding, the service was still stellar, but the food was slightly below our expectations. Our appetizers weren’t quite on point - the scallop smelled too fishy, and the carrot salad wasn’t seasoned enough. For the entrees, the halibut was a bit dry, but the striploin was just as good as when we tried it during our menu tasting. Overall, we definitely still recommend Treadwell for sure! We understand the logistics of catering is obviously quite different than making to order at a restaurant, which is why we are still very content!

Delicious food and amazing service. Our server, Briar, was so sweet and helpful. We sat at the chefs counter and it was nice to chat with the chefs and watch them plating the dishes. The food tasted so good and everything was plated beautifully. It was a set 3 course menu where each person chooses an appetizer, main course and dessert. Treadwell is a great spot for a nice dinner or special occasion in NOTL.

Came here for my birthday dinner as a solo diner and it was very decent. The food was great, didn’t opt for the wine pairing as I had been drinking wine all day in the surrounding wineries. Definitely recommend the crispy pork belly starter and the steak main. Very tender and flavorful. I also recommend getting a table by the bar if dining solo, that was the only mistake I made when booking my reservation because it felt awkward eating alone!

Stopped here for dinner with a group of friends, we had a large group about a dozen of. James was our server and he was absolutely fantastic. The service was amazing, the ambiance was excellent, and the food was absolutely phenomenal! Everything was cooked to perfection, and tasted delicious. The fresh bread, the home made butter, the appetizers, all amazing. I ordered the filet mignon... this was the best steak I have ever had. The chef did a wonderful job, all of our plates came out exactly as ordered. Desserts were also impressive. I ordered the chocolate creme brulee. We all enjoyed a wonderfully cooked meal and had such a great time. We will definitely be making reservations again. The cost to eat here is about $150 (Canadian.) per person.

The best lobster sandwich I’ve ever had!! You must go here. Lunch was fantastic, service was exceptional. Restaurant is fun. The open kitchen gives you confidence that your food is being prepared the right way. We ate at many restaurants in town and by far this was the best all around experience. Thanks. We will be back the next time we are in the area.

The Whirlpool Aero Car Ride in Niagara Falls, Ontario, was a breathtaking experience! The journey itself was just ten minutes, but the views made every second worth it. Suspended above the swirling waters, the sights were nothing short of breathtaking and spectacular. For the price paid, some might say it’s a little steep for the time spent, but for me, it was absolutely worth it. The perspective you gain from that ride is one you simply can’t experience any other way. And just like that, I can check another adventure off my bucket list! ✔️ This was definitely a one-time thrill for me—an unforgettable glimpse of Niagara’s beauty from above.

7 Whirlpool State Park Niagara Falls The Niagara Whirlpool is a natural whirlpool in the Niagara River, located downstream from Niagara Falls along the Canada-U.S. border. It was formed approximately 4,200 years ago and is known for its powerful, counterclockwise spin during the day, which reverses direction at night when water is diverted for hydroelectric power. Visitors can view the whirlpool from nearby state/provincial parks, such as the Whirlpool State Park in the U.S. and the Niagara Glen Nature Reserve in Canada, or from the Whirlpool Aero Car. Formation and dynamics Formation: The whirlpool formed about 4,200 years ago as the Niagara River eroded the Niagara Escarpment. Daily flow: During the day, the powerful current from Niagara Falls enters the whirlpool, flows counterclockwise around the basin, and sinks under the incoming stream before exiting, as explained by Niagara Parks. Nightly reversal: Starting around 10 p.m., water diversion for hydroelectric plants reduces the flow, causing the whirlpool to reverse direction and spin clockwise until morning. Viewing the whirlpool Whirlpool Aero Car: A historic cable car that crosses the gorge, offering spectacular views of the whirlpool as it travels over the US and Canadian borders. Whirlpool State Park (U.S.): Offers scenic overlooks and trails along the gorge rim. Niagara Glen Nature Reserve (Canada): Provides access to trails with views of the gorge and the whirlpool.

Amazing view! Since we went on a week day only waited 5 minutes. I would have happily waited longer for the scenery! I was concerned about what side we would be on but on your way back they have you switch to the other side so everyone gets the best seat in the house for photos and views. The guide we had clearly didn’t have a passion for what he was doing and was not patient with customers who were more needy but didn’t ruin the trip at all. Gift shop, bathroom and food is available on site! Bus stop right out front. Must see do not miss!

this was a beautiful attraction, i got the 2 adult package on the website and it made it a bit cheaper! the views were gorgeous and the tour guide in the aero car was entertaining, funny and kind. the car takes up to 10 min total to complete and it’s very smooth! the attraction closes around the end of november for those wondering 🙂

Very amazing experience! Things that stood out for me included the sound of gushing water into the basin, scenic views, being air-borne and hearing our guide Nolan's take on the history and the jokes made the trip memorable. Would recommend it 10/10.

Such an amazing experience! The Whirlpool Aero Car is one of those classic Niagara attractions that you just can’t skip. The views from the cable car are absolutely stunning — you’re literally floating over the massive whirlpool where the Niagara River twists and turns below. It’s wild seeing how powerful the current is from up there. The ride itself is smooth and safe, and the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts as you go. It’s not a long ride, but totally worth it for the unique view and great photo ops. Perfect combo of thrill, history, and scenery — definitely a must-do if you’re exploring Niagara Parks. I’d 100% go again! 🚡💨

Our guide Noah made this a fun entry attraction into Niagara. I laughed out loud at his jokes a couple of times, but either I am easily amused or other people were not understanding that they were jokes. It made my day. The attraction itself is fun, I was hoping we'd be able to get out and access the park on the other side, but it is an out and back tour. The view of the whirlpool from above is pretty amazing seeing Whitewater speed boats navigating the area.

Excellent view with a cool breeze, food was quite reasonable with the location considered. Skip restaurant s further inland and treat yourself to this view. You will thank me later. Beware the Thornberry cider! Delicious but I'm lightweight and it has a subtle punch;)

Enjoyed a round of golf on the oldest course in Ontario. It was a beautiful early fall day and the views of the lake were beautiful. Lunch at the waterside patio was very tasty too!

I requested patio seating but apparently that is not available by reservation so we took the indoor table reserved for us. The view was still very nice, looking out over top of the patio umbrellas. Service was good, relaxed and unrushed. We had the Cornish hen and the Vegetarian Lasagna. The hen was a bit dry and under seasoned. The Lasagna was really flavourful.

This has become my go-to breakfast spot in Niagara-on-the-Lake — especially before or after a nice morning walk around town. Not many people realize the Golf Club restaurant actually serves breakfast, but it’s truly one of the area’s hidden gems. The food is fresh and comforting — I usually go for the classic breakfast with eggs, bacon, and home fries, and it always hits the spot. The coffee’s great, the service is warm and genuine, and that lakefront view is just unbeatable. In the summer, sitting out on the patio overlooking the water feels like something out of a travel magazine. During the off-season, they typically switch to later hours and focus more on lunch, so it’s worth checking ahead before you go. Pros: Peaceful lakeside view — one of the best in town Friendly local service Tasty, well-priced breakfast Relaxed, unhurried vibe Cons: Breakfast hours are seasonal (check before you go) Limited indoor seating and patio Be sure to reserve a table during busy hours, special occasions and holidays If you’re looking for a calm, cozy place to enjoy breakfast with a view in Niagara-on-the-Lake, this spot is a must-try. Definitely one of those local gems more people should know about!

Gorgeous 9 hole public golf course with multiple holes on the waterfront. Relatively short, flat, and straight, and kept in impeccable condition. Green fee is very reasonable. Would definitely play there again and try the restaurant next time which overlooks the water.

It's the prettiest 9 hole golf course that runs along the waterfront. Super easy to walk, it runs flat and narrow making it a nice little challenge. The waterfront restaurant is also a great little spot to grab a bite to eat.

Great restaurant. The French Onion Soup is great and the service is even better. Our server anticipated all our needs and was super polite and great smile.

It was a disappointing experience for us . There are not much option in the area so we sat than in this place thinking they should have good beer considering it’s a brewery. We ordered the big pitcher and nachos . It was a pilsner but tasted like a bad ipa. Nachos was a big portion but one of the worse I ever tried. Literally boiled chicken thrown on top with zero flavour . Jalapeños had no taste. I won’t recommend this place personally .

What an amazing experience! My husband and I stopped by The Exchange Brewery on a whim after sauntering around NOTL for the morning. We sat upstairs where Hunter was our server. Hunters knowledge of the various beer offerings was vast and helpful as we asked a lot of questions before ordering. The food was delicious and our beer choices were so good we picked up a few bottles to take home with us. We can’t wait to come back!

It’s good… I think the beer was good, with a wide selection. The food was good as well with standard pub fare (with some extras). I think the ambience is okay, they made it a modern - sports bar kind of theme. For a brewery like this I would ordinarily want to see something more personal, less cold. Overall though when in the area if they have availability it’s a good spot to get some drinks and food.

Local brewery on main street NOTL, you won’t miss it. You can have a quick drink for try the beers or dinner at upstairs. Fresh made pizza recommended to pair with their beers. You can walk around their well decorated brewery. They offer tours and patio in summer too.

We had our Korean wedding dinner/ceremony here two weeks ago and from start to finish, was a perfect day. Rajat the manager, helped us with the planning and coordination probably about a year in advance. He helped set the menu, the pricing, the tables/floor set up, the timing/scheduling of the event etc. He might as well have been our wedding planner! So easy and wonderful and friendly to work with. Being from Toronto, all our planning took place via email and he was very responsive and helpful. The day of, him and his entire staff were amazing. One of his staff even wrote the names of the dishes in Korean writing (which my family absolutely loved!!). They just went above and beyond for my family and my husbands family, most of which were visiting from other countries. The staff were so respectful to us and even knew a lot about Korean culture and foods which made my family even more happy. We felt so welcomed and the service was impeccable. Thank you Rajat and team!

We’ve had an amazing client experience at The Exchange Brewery. I met up with my clients at this place and I couldn’t have picked a better place. We had Braeden as our bartender. He made us feel comfortable and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this spot if you happen to be in NOTL.

Very cool spot. Stopped in to have a beer before dinner. We sat at the bar, also munched on some popcorn. I had the apricot ; light & refreshing. I normally don’t drink beer since it makes me feel full but this one was great!

Well lit and Christmas prepared during winter - otherwise, not much going on here.

Interesting old court house .Well worth a look around it.

The iconic building of Canada's prettiest town.

Exterior is cool to see. Unusual to see such gothic structure in Canada. There's no way to see the interior that I could find. Too bad: I'm curious if the inside has more intriguing architecture too. Check out the faces on the windows!

Amazing Historical Orginality

Beautiful historic building.

If you enjoy history and museums you will love this place!

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

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

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

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

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

An amazing experience for the whole family! Highly recommend. Prices are very reasonable. The staff are really knowledgeable and great, and will help you interact with lots of animals, from turtles to parrots. The whole experience is very immersive and each of my kids loved it, especially the bird feeding.

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

We ordered the 5-course tasting menu, each beautifully paired with a glass of wine. Every dish and wine pairing was absolutely delightful — full of flavor and thoughtfully crafted. The service was warm and attentive, which made us feel truly cared for throughout the evening. The setting is simply stunning: dining while overlooking the vast, serene vineyard was such a peaceful and memorable experience. The interior design is equally impressive, especially the striking wall behind the counter, which adds to the charm of the space. Overall, it was an experience filled with joy, beauty, and a deep sense of appreciation — I would love to return again and again.

My husband and I had the opportunity to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary at Peller Estates with our children. The fine dining at The Winery Restaurant was above and beyond expectation from start to finish. Sybille, their lovely hostess, was so kind and welcoming when we arrived. We appreciate her hospitality and kind demeanour. As we were sat, our lovely waitress Julie made our celebration a night to remember. Sparkling wine for my husband and I and two sparkling apple juices for our children (ages 10 and 14). Our 3 course dinner prix fixe meal was divine. We can cannot wait to return next time. I would highly recommend their East Coast Digby Scallop Crudo and their Signature Lobster Linguine. For dessert, their Mille-Feuille were also excellent paired with of course their Signature Series Oak Aged Vidal. Thanks to you Kayla Wall, hospitality manager for ensuring our special night was one to be remembered. Until next time!

I really enjoyed the tour at Peller Winery. It was a great experience to learn more about wines and how they are made, especially since I am not very knowledgeable about wine. The guide was very friendly and willing to explain even the simplest things, which made the visit even better. The wines were delicious and I loved that they gave us the tasting glasses as a gift because they are so pretty. The only downside for me was that the shop prices felt a bit high but overall everything was beautiful and worth the visit.

Peller Estates in Niagara on the Lake is a stunning winery with beautifully maintained grounds and a touch of grandeur. We booked the guided tour, which began a bit slowly outside as we learned about the vineyard’s history and winemaking process. Thankfully, things picked up and became much more engaging as we moved indoors and explored behind the scenes. The highlight was definitely the 10 Below Ice Lounge. It was an unforgettable experience that was really cool 🥶 both literally and metaphoricallyl! They give you large parkas to wear to warm things up a bit. It was such a fun way to end the tour! The wines themselves were enjoyable and reflective of the Niagara region's charm. Overall, it was a memorable experience that started off a little snooze worthy 😴 and finished on a positive note. Highly recommend adding Peller Estates to your Niagara-on-the-Lake wine itinerary!

🍷🍾The wine selection was exceptional, with a fantastic range of reds, whites, and sparkling wines. The Icewine, of course, was a highlight—rich, smooth, and unlike anything else. 🍴🥩The set menu at their restaurant was simply delicious. If you're looking for a winery experience that combines great wine, fantastic food, and beautiful surroundings, Peller Estate is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back for another round of wine and food pairing!

Our group of six had an absolutely fantastic time at Pellar Estate! The winery tour was informative and engaging. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience so enjoyable. The wines were delicious, and we loved learning about the winemaking process. After the tour, we had lunch, and the food was outstanding! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with their wines. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the beautiful weather made it even more special. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Pellar Estate for anyone looking for a great wine-tasting experience, delicious food, and a lovely setting. We’ll definitely be back! A perfect day out with friends! 🍷☀️

Came here couple of times for celebration. Food and services have been consistently great. Pairing with their own wine brings the Crispy Skin Duck Breast and Ontario Beef Striploin to the next level. Don’t forget to order their signature lobster linguine. Thanks for the meal and will be back for sure 👍

Very picturesque with lots of garden spaces to explore including an arboretum and rose garden. There's even a pond area with lots of frogs and a few painted turtles. Not a long walk but well worth a visit. It is free and located right beside the butterfly conservatory.

🌿 Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens – A Peaceful Oasis Near the Falls The Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens is a hidden gem just a short drive from the main Niagara Falls attractions. This beautifully maintained 99-acre garden is perfect for those seeking a peaceful and scenic escape from the busy tourist areas. The gardens are stunning in every season, but especially vibrant in late spring and summer. The rose garden, featuring over 2,400 roses, is a must-see and smells incredible when in full bloom. The butterfly conservatory, located on-site, is a magical experience where you can walk among hundreds of free-flying butterflies in a lush tropical setting. The entire park is free to enter (excluding the Butterfly Conservatory), with wide walking paths and plenty of shady spots for relaxing. It’s also home to the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture, so you’ll see some impressive displays and rare plant varieties. Whether you’re a nature lover, photographer, or just want a quiet place to stroll, the Botanical Gardens are a beautiful and refreshing part of any Niagara Falls visit. ⭐️ Highlights: • Free admission to the gardens • Stunning rose and herb gardens • Peaceful, well-maintained grounds • Butterfly Conservatory (extra fee but worth it) • Ideal for a relaxing walk or picnic

The Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls is a serene and enchanting escape into a tropical paradise. Home to over 2,000 free-flying butterflies, the lush greenhouse features winding paths, waterfalls, and vibrant plant life that create a magical atmosphere. It’s as peaceful, educational, and perfect for families or nature lovers. Whether you’re snapping photos or simply soaking in the beauty, it’s a must-visit gem along the Niagara Parkway. Great place to take the young ones for fun any invoking curiosity.

Absolutely beautiful! So peaceful. Even though the trees and flowers are not in full bloom because of the season it is still a sight to behold. God willing, I will return in the spring or summer to see it again.🤗🇨🇦🙌🏿

The grounds was very upkept. The flowers were beautiful. We walked through the whole garden was very lovely. It was nice weather out. Couldn't ask for a better day.

Love the Botanical Garden! Every season, every month there's new flowers and plants to discover and learn about! Plenty of area to have a picnic, a nice café with tasty food and clean facilities. Dog friendly which is a bonus for us, we love that they can tag along 😀

Beautiful place to cool down after a long day around the falls. it is on the smaller side so no need to book 2 hours to go through it. I'd recommand it for a picnic or between activities at peak sun exposure. Squirrels are chill.

Anthony gave us a personalized tour and is quite knowledgeable about the different presses. We were just going to take a quick look inside but ended up taking an extended tour as he made it so interesting.

We weren’t sure about seeing the historical sights included in our Niagara Falls Parks Adventure Plus Pass but the Mackenzie Printery peaked our interest so we went and it was worth every minute. Highly recommend you go and take the tour offered. Ask for Anthony, he is the best!!! There is a short tour (approximately 25 minutes) and a long tour (approximately 45 minutes). We started with the short and I think we ended up with the long because it was so awesome. The tour is interactive and hands-on. Our kids printed a Wanted Poster with our name to take home on an old printing press. They also printed bookmarks to take home. We even bought a Christmas ornament so we can remember the best tour of our Niagara Falls vacation. Thanks Anthony.

Interesting place of history. Tour was very informative. You can take photos inside but no video. It was interesting seeing how the early printers worked.

Such a hidden gem! 🖨️ The staff are warm, welcoming, and full of fascinating knowledge. You don’t just see history here — you get to touch it! The interactive exhibits make it fun, unique, and memorable. Definitely a must-visit for anyone exploring the area!

old times, good times!! a shout out to Emma, she was really informative, learned a bunch of new things, we had no idea about the Canadian political system of 1900's!! The highlight of the tour was the old printed poster and the hand made bookmarks!! Definitely recommend!!

Beautiful building but was unfortunately closed today due to unforseen circumstances. Can't wait to come back for a tour.

The printery is very cool!!! Like others, my wife and I stopped by as we were wrapping up a short vacation. We purchased the City Adventure Pass Plus and figured we would check this place out as it was on the drive to another location we were visiting. WOW did we underestimate how much we would like this printery. Anthony took the time to show us around and helped us make a wanted poster. Honestly we would definitely do it again it was so much fun. Mike and Roz from White Lake, Michigan, USA.

A peaceful and charming stop! The Living Water Wayside Chapel is beautifully maintained and known as one of the smallest chapels in the world. It’s a serene spot to pause, reflect, and take some lovely photos. Definitely worth a quick visit if you’re in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area! Not so crowded and evenings are the best and apple picking nearby is an add-on to your trip. Additionally, you can see a lot of winery farms nearby.

A beautiful little chapel at Niagara which should not be missed. There’s benches inside for at least 6 people to sit. Ample parking space around.

Very cute chapel to have a moment of silence. You can also donate and sign their guestbook. 🙂

I enjoyed visiting this small church it’s very lovely. There are benches enough to fit 6 people, a Bible, donation box, Brochures and a notebook to write down your name, where you’re visiting from and anything that’s on your mind. It’s well kept, clean and there is parking. I recommend visiting either to pray, read the Bible, feel connected to God or simply for the history of the church. It is one of the smallest churches in the world after all.

This is probably a must-see attraction in the Niagara region😍The smallest church in the world⛪——The living water wayside chapel⛪ It is the smallest church in the world that is still open to the public⛪. It is no different from other churches⛪ except for its small size. You can worship and pray here🙏🏻, and even hold a special and romantic ceremony here. Wedding💒(If you hold a wedding here💒, you also need to make an appointment in advance. Why is it special to hold a wedding here? Because if you hold a wedding here, you can receive a special commemorative certificate issued by the local department.) There are only a few rows of double seats inside the entire church, which can accommodate no more than 12 people at most. Although it is small, it is really well-equipped and not small as it should be. This is what makes it special. 😎 ⏰About the opening hours: In fact, it does not have specific opening hours, but it is basically open if you go during the day, because it is right on the roadside, so please feel free to go. ⏰ 🎫About church tickets: This is free🆓 to visit, no tickets are required, and no advance reservation is required. 🎫 🚘About transportation: 1️⃣If you start from the Great Falls, there is no bus, but you can buy shared bicycles over there🚲. I see that many people come here on shared bicycles🚵🏻‍♂️, and the one-way trip is about 20 kilometers. (It’s very comfortable to ride along the Niagara River from the Great Falls, because it has a separate cycling lane, and the scenery along the way is also great. I really recommend riding here slowly. 👍🏻) 2️⃣Self-driving, it takes about 20 minutes to drive from the waterfall. Parking🅿️Just park directly behind this church⛪, it's free. 🚘 🏞️About the vicinity of the church: There is a farm next to and behind the church, where you can buy fresh produce or pick peaches🍑, strawberries🍓, apples🍎, grapes🍇 and other seasonal fruits. (The ice cream here🍦 is also good, most of the ingredients come from their own farm.)🏞️ ⚠️The church⛪ is on the way to Niagara on the lake. If you go to the town of Niagara, remember to enter the navigation 📍 in advance on the map 🗺️, then you will not miss this special church ⛪! ⚠️

The smallest church in Canada. Truly small ☺️, only has five seats.

This quaint chapel is a must-see with an option for capturing its charm in a photo. It's fascinating to encounter such a small church on the way to Niagara Falls. Fortunately, photography is permitted, allowing you to explore its interior. While the inside offers limited attractions like a visitor's book and tiny pews, it's noteworthy that only 3 or 4 people can be accommodated at once. Make sure to sign the visitor's guest book for a captivating experience.

It’s okay for the price ($5 as of today), but it feels like it lacks storytelling or a cohesive theme. The exhibits seem a bit scattered, and a stronger narrative could make the experience more engaging and immersive.

Small however pretty positive and curious local museum to discover life of area founders! Recommended!

One of the oldest local history museums in Canada. Beautiful building and a very well curated collection. They are expanding into the property next door which should allow them to display even more of their expansive collection. Very nice staff. Worth a stop in during a visit to NOTL!

I didn't know that NOTL had a museum. We went when it was open doors. I enjoyed the tour, and hearing about some local history. I absolutely loved history through the ERAS, a take on Taylor Swift lyrics. Absolutely genius.

The Past is Present Heritage Festival Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum’s heritage festival brings history to life. Come to Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum for an exciting day filled with historical demonstrations, activities, and a variety of engaging experiences at the Museum's front lawn. This event promises to be a treasure trove of fun and education for visitors of all ages! Best of all, admission is free from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Aug 3-5, 9-11.

Located inside the Historic Old Town, Niagara on the Lake Museum offers the rich history of the whole Niagara region. Would recommend to visit it during the weekdays because sometimes you explore the place all by yourself. Admission is 5 dollars for adults.

I have visited Niagara-on-the-Lake many times, saw the sign for the museum, but drove right by. This time I decided to follow the sign and discovered this lovely museum located in an old house with beautiful gardens. Outside there is a rose Bush called "1812" as well as a terrace with historical cutouts. Inside there is a lovely small gift store as well as historical exhibits of clothes, items and a dress up section for kids. Now they are highlighting when the Polish trained in NOTL around the 1st world war. Highlight for me was to see the hat that Sir Issac Brock wore.

A little piece of history with some fun information about the War of 1812. It is small and doesn't take long to see, but is just a short walk from the road. You have to walk through a golf course to get there, which is probably very awkward during golf season. The other option is from a path along the beach, but the walk will be longer to get there.

Walking distance from the Main Street in Niagara on the lake. Shows the history… definitely worth the visit. Going there in the evening closer to sunset adds some charm to this place.

It’s surreal to see, tucked in behind an active golf course and impressive to enter as it’s not locked behind a gate. Wander the grounds (as small as they are) and squint your ears, legend says you’ll hear the cries of soldiers but the fort was built after the war and never saw any action so listen to the water lapping the shores of the lake instead and tell your friends you heard ghosts.

Have to yield to golfers to walk to it. Not a huge issue. Uneventful for the most part other than you can see a few cities from the point. Toronto looks pretty cool at a distance, wasn’t expecting to be able to see it. Otherwise everything has bars and you can just walk around the outside.

Another National Historic Site checked off! Fort Mississauga is worth a visit if you are at Niagara-on-the-Lake, as it is not too far from the Historic Old Town. This building is full of history and you will definitely enjoy knowing its story and the strategic value it held. I especially enjoyed the views with the fort and the lake side-by-side. The building has recently gone through a renovation in 2020 - 2021, and a walking trail was constructed leading to the shoreline. This is why the building is now in much better shape with the walls intact. A new roof has also been installed on top. I hope one day we could see what is inside or have tours at certain times in the week. Winter is a bit harder to come by as the trails are not maintained.

Great short walk, to a fun fort with a great view. Wish i could have seen inside though!

Not much to see but I believe that the building is rich with History. I hope I would someday see what's inside the building since it was closed when I have visited it. Place is almost hidden and I though at first that it's not accessible since it is located inside a golf club. Place is serene though and not much people are in the area. You can also see the view of Lake Ontario along the walkway and view deck.

It's a nice park to walk around but was expecting more info/interaction regarding the historic piece. Beautiful park

The buildings are in good shape. The historical notices are informative. It's all very low key. There are public bathrooms at the recreation building just East through a small forest. I go there regularly for the 60% of The Commons set aside for leash-free dog walking. The Commons is surrounded by a paved, tree-shaded walkway.

It's basically a large field with a few remaining fort buildings that you can't access. It's mostly used by joggers and locals. These pics are of the annual Scout Brigade.

It's very interesting when you find out more about this location. It's free parking and free to view. Unfortunately you can't enter any of the buildings but it's still a great piece of history.

Great place that I have missed before. Definitely a place to visit. Smart presentation of the history through the see through windows feature stands.

Great place to teach your children the history of how Canada came to be independent. Let's hope our politicians can keep it that way.

Barrack is not open inside but you can see a formered staple and two cannons are sitting beside.

What a blast!! We did this on 7/23/25 at 2:30pm and we couldn’t have picked the better time and weather was perfect. You really really get drenched anywhere you sit so just be ready to get wet. They have lockers where you can store your valuables for free and they also have change rooms you can use after the boat ride. Facility is kept clean and staff was super friendly! Highly recommended☺️ additional note 📝 - if you do not get wet, I mean WET, do not go on this! I expected to get wet but we got completely soaked and submerged into water!! 😆🤣🤩 like you get to be under and In the wave of water for a second. I have NEVER experienced the water hit your face that hard! It is SO MUCH FUN. If you want to do second time, they offer it at 50 percent off!

If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure while visiting Niagara Falls, look no further than the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tour! From start to finish, this experience is pure adrenaline, and I can't recommend it enough! Vinny and Jason were absolutely incredible. Vinny’s energy was contagious—he hyped us up the moment we boarded, making sure we were all ready for an exhilarating ride. He’s the kind of guide that gets you excited about every twist and turn, and his enthusiasm set the tone for the entire trip. Jason, our captain, was an absolute legend behind the wheel. He drove that boat like a NASCAR driver—smooth, fast, and with precision! We were flying over the waves, feeling the rush of the water and the wind in our faces, and it was all thanks to his skill and expertise. At times, it felt like we were on a roller coaster but with the added thrill of being on the water! The speed, the splash, the whole experience was a *do not miss* event when you’re in Niagara Falls. Whether you're seeking thrills or just looking to experience the beauty of the area from a whole new perspective, this is the tour you want to take. It's the perfect balance of heart-pounding excitement and natural beauty, and Vinny and Jason made it absolutely epic! Highly recommend—this was the highlight of our trip!

I highly recommend! This is definitely a great attraction for any age young or old!! I do suggest if you are sitting on the outside of the boat bring an extra change of clothing 😬 they do sell clothing and towels at the little kiosk if you happen to forget. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime

We just went on the last tour of the night with Chris (guide) and Adam (our captain). Overall it was a really nice experience and we would absolutely do it again. They even informed us that if we came back within 24 hours we would get 50% off a return repeat trip. Had we been able to move the next days plans we would have. Let’s start with - everyone is going to get wet. We went with littler kids so we were in row 5 and still were plenty drenched! The only real drawback is I think our expectation didn’t necessarily align with the product. There was lots of talking and only a few actual loops or runs into the water… maybe a dozen or so in the 45 min trip. I think we expected it to be more consistently jet boat adventure - whereas it was probably 80% boating and Chris chatting and playing music and 20%adventure jet boating actually getting wet. We just expected more of the adventure part, but that’s clearly not the agenda. For those more curvy people, note that the ponchos provided are small, so if you are above an XL, bring your own - or just wear your bathing suit and embrace the drenching! I’m a 3x and was a little sausage in the poncho. You can buy a video of your experience for $50. If you had a big group it’s definitely a fun memory - we didn’t get it. There are bathrooms and changing rooms at check-in, along with a gift shop where you can buy any gear you might want or have forgotten. Don’t forget to bring your towel and change of clothes - as everyone is going to be wet. While my top stayed pretty dry from the poncho my bottoms were soaked as we were sitting in inches of water after the big waves. The first 4 rows will be heavily drenched, the remaining rows will all get wet but not weighty wet. We worn goggles and greatly enjoyed being able to see the rapids as we whirled through them. Glasses and hats would definitely be ripped off in the waves crashing in in the first few rows, so be prepared with a string for any glasses you have if you don’t take them off. Honestly - we’d do it again with adjusted reality vs expectations. All of the staff was lovely! The girl who checked us in, Shawnita, was super helpful and answered all our questions and found answers when she didn’t know. All the staff who handed out life vests or picked them up were personable and warm. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re nearby!! We did note that reservations are suggested. While we were able to buy tickets upon arrival (we’re terrible at keeping a schedule), the tour time we could have made on arrival was sold out to a group so we waited around for an hour. Wasn’t bad - and glad we didn’t buy them early because of our personal lack of keeping on time to things - but if there is a time you really want to go and are better at being on time to things, then definitely book ahead!!

The trip was AWESOME. I went in a little nervous and expecting to get rocked in the boat, but it ended up being a BLAST! Our tour guide was Chris and he was such an energetic and witty guy. He definitely made the trip lots more fun. The tour itself was great as well. Getting to see the rapids from the water level is so humbling due to how massive the rapids are and how strong the current is. It was definitely a different perspective of the river. Going over the rapids was SO much fun! You get absolutely DRENCHED no matter what you do. After the ride, we got T-shirts to remember the experience. It was truly amazing and underrated. 100% recommend doing this, even over the Maid of the Mist tour.

Great experience and lots of funn. Book the open boat tour to get the full effect of the speed and agility of the boat. You will get wet so bring the spare clothes, but if you forget you can always buy a set in their gift shop. We had an amazing experience.

The jet boat tour itself was an amazing experience. Exciting, fun, and definitely worth trying. The staff were super friendly and made everything smooth and enjoyable. The only big downside was the changing/dressing rooms and washrooms. They were incredibly dirty and honestly pretty disgusting, which really took away from the overall experience. If the facilities were cleaned and maintained better, this would easily be a 5-star adventure.

White Water Walk is one of the most peaceful yet awe-inspiring experiences in Niagara. The boardwalk takes you right beside the Class 6 rapids, and the sheer power of the water is incredible to witness up close. The pathway is well maintained, easy to walk, and offers plenty of great photo spots. It’s a quieter attraction compared to the main Falls area, which makes it perfect if you want to enjoy nature without the big crowds. The sound of the rushing water and the views along the gorge make it a really refreshing experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Niagara — a short, scenic, and unforgettable walk! 🌊📸

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.

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!

Amazingly designed street with lots of arcades, fun/haunted houses, restaurants and fast food stands. I come here at least once each summer to take in the sights and sounds. It gets super crowded here during the summer. It's a short walking distance from Niagara Falls.

Best place to visit with family and friends. Make sure to take the day pass to save. Have fun!

Great views from wheel, bumper cars good fun and 5D experienced were cool (I won).

Wonderful experience. Very crowded but all the attractions have very quick lines or no wait at all. I would suggest getting a fun pass, there are a few different options.

Pretty cool place to go see! So many gift shops, fun attractions and the falls! Highly recommend this place

Incredibly tacky tourist trap that is fabulous! So fun to roam around and see everything!

You can have fun.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch after being told by friends that we had to go to this 200 year old restaurant and sit in the back outdoor patio. It was magical location and the food was fantastic. Jen our server was so nice and took great care of us. The fish and chips were delicious and I had the shepherds pie wish the darkest Gueness gravy you ever seen. After we ate we found out that they had live music from 2-5 so we sat and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon drink and entertainment. I would highly recommend stopping in and taking a break from walking the Niagara on the lake shops.

Not only is this one of the best places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting in my life, but the history surrounding it is equally fascinating. I encourage you to do some research on your own because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. The food is exceptional, showcasing a variety of exquisite flavors that truly elevate the dining experience. The team running this place is fantastic; they are warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, which adds to the overall atmosphere. The building itself feels like a magical portal, transporting you back in time with its stunning architecture and decor that reflect a rich history. Every corner tells a story, and the ambiance enhances the experience. This is definitely a place I highly recommend; it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food and immerse themselves in a unique setting.

My mom and I stopped in the other day while visiting a few shops downtown because she's been there many times and really enjoys it! Her and my dad have rented rooms, listened to bands and enjoyed the food! I was excited to try it with her but was met with a bit of disappointment. The service was great! Both the woman who served us and the man who brought our food over were very friendly and the service was fast! The issue lies within what we ordered. We got the sausage rolls thinking we could share a few and have a couple drinks. The mustard, really good. The sausage rolls were not. There was 4 fairly small rolls. Were an English family so we like our sausage rolls but these were unlike any we've ever had. Typically they're made with ground sausage meat, these were just a whole sausage wrapped in a bit of a pastry. We both agreed they were more like a pig in a blanket as opposed to an English sausage roll. I do look forward to returning with her in the future to try more items as they've been there many times and this was the first dud she's had! I just wanted to voice my opinion on the rolls but also be clear that the pub itself is awesome, true pub vibes and the staff I met was amazing! And I'm sure the rest of the food is great, we just would opt out of the sausage rolls next time personally! I had 2 bottles of budweiser and she had 1 pint of an Irish beer(i think), and the total for that + the 4 sausage rolls was around $56 before tip

We came for a dinner with our kids. The food was tasty - me and my wife had the sheppard’s pie and steak with the onion pie. Both dishes were classic and tasty. The place had a great kid-menue with good prices. Although it was packed we received super nice and welcoming service.

We had a wonderful late lunch yesterday. Meghan our server was just glowing and beyond great! She was very down to earth, lovely, kind, fun, yet professional. She gave her recommendations for her favourites and why… Meghan had perfect timing for everything. She gave us ample time to sample our selections before returning to see how everything was tasting As well as to make sure we received everything we had ordered. I mention this because the server that delivered our food to the table forgot my side of gravy. My food was still warm and enjoyable when she returned with the forgotten item. The food was delicious and memorable. My other half had the fisherman’s pie which was decadent and I had the roast beef dip which sent me back to a moment when I worked at a place called Vicky’s pork and beef in Welland. It tasted exactly the same and was savoury and delicious! What a delicious experience thank you Meghan!

Stayed here one night for our 59th anniversary, was greeted by Jan she was lovely and welcoming . Room is lovely clean and spacious. Stayed in the Colonels suite. Then dinner we had Maddie our waitress very attentive and friendly . Bangers and mash and fish and chips was delicious but not big eaters do we could not finish it all. Wonderful stay here.

I recently visited this restaurant with my friends, and it was an unforgettable experience. The building itself feels like a step back in time — it has the charm and character of a historical landmark. We were seated in the beautiful garden at the back, which added a magical touch to our meal. The ambiance is truly one-of-a-kind, blending history, nature, and warmth. The food was outstanding! We tried the fish and chips, meatloaf, steak & Guinness onion pie, and the fisherman’s pie — every dish was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was equally impressive; our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique dining experience with amazing food and atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

Pretty. Super service, some great tasting wines can be had along with hummus and/or a variety of 3 cheeses (Brie, goat’s cheese and another hard artisanal cheese) with smokey mustard, sweet pickled onions and Maple syrup. Wine tasting can also be accompanied by other snacks such as potato chips etc. Full lunch menu is also available. Great views of the vineyard - not particularly extensive but gives you a feel of wine country nonetheless. Great afternoon out!

Ravine is my favorite winery in the NOTL region and has been for years! Located in St Davids, the wines are fabulous, the grounds are beautiful, and the service is outstanding. Utkaresh helped us on this visit and he was awesome describing the wines and ensuring we had everything we needed to have a great experience They have a small seating area inside to enjoy your flight or a large patio area outside. They offer charcuterie boards, hummus and other small snacks. There is also a bakery and full restaurant on premise (note the 3 all operate differnt hours) Their tasting flight allows you to pick 4 wines from their offerings. They have a wide range of wines *4 sparkling in both brut and charmat styles, 9 whites, 1 rose, 7 reds, and 1 ice wine were available. We shared 3 flights and a glass of ice wine so we tried 13 of their offerings and enjoyed all of them. My favorites were the sparklers, rose and oaked chardonay. This is a MUST stop on your NOTL visit My rating rationale for beer, wine, or spirits: +1 Service +1 Atmosphere/Vibe +1 Taste/Quality (Flavor, aroma, and overall quality of the beverage) +1 Presentation (Glassware, garnishes, and visual appeal of the drinks) +1 Selection/Variety (Range of beer, wine, or spirit options and uniqueness of offerings

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great place to visit! Amazing service — truly beyond expectations. The staff was friendly, the wine selection had great taste and variety, and the cheese tray was absolutely delicious. Everything was quite pocket-friendly compared to other wineries. What impressed me most was their attention to detail — they happily accommodated my food sensitivities and provided gluten-friendly crackers at no extra cost! Our server, Shennel, was exceptional and made the experience even better. A lovely spot for everyone — even kids can enjoy snacks and sodas from the Greenhouse and play in the huge open field within their parents’ sight while the adults relax and enjoy the wines. Highly recommended! 🍷🧀🌿

After having a number of fantastic wine and dining experiences at Ravine we decided to celebrate our wedding at Ravine Vineyard this August and it was the best decision ever! This venue is like no other and we couldn't have asked for a better experience and a more beautiful day. The venue aesthetically is stunning and feels both upscale but also relaxed. The food and drink is of a very high quality and the patios and event spaces are bright, spacious and very welcoming! In the weeks leading up to our big day our planner (Abby) was helpful, responsive and really put our minds at ease. She was extremely accommodating with requests and provided some thoughtful recommendations throughout the process. Abby and the day of coordinator work with all our vendors on the day and and overall it was such a relaxing day. Most of our guests traveled from abroad and it was clear to us they were very impressed with everything that Ravine brought to our day. Overall a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Ravine for a celebratory event or special occasion!

We stopped in on a quiet Wednesday and had an amazing view of the vineyard. Tons of shaded seating outside but also a cute indoor tasting room as well. A wide variety of wines including some amazing bold reds. The whole selection of wines tended towards being more dry which I greatly appreciate. Staff were friendly and helpful! Highly recommend this winery!

This was our fifth winery in two days and wow what a pleasant surprise! Warm and inviting atmosphere! Loved the seating area…a lot of space to gather. The view of the vineyard is spectacular. Victoria was of great assistance providing us with history and knowledge of the winery. This is the winery that sold me on white wine. I am not a white wine drinker, but when I tasted the Patricia Block Riesling , I was sold! This wine tasted so magical! Then another that I sampled was the Riesling ice wine which again Is something that I have not enjoyed in many years. My colleagues had ordered this as part of their wine flight of testing but I had not. Victoria thought to bring me a sample of the Riesling ice wine with the thought that I may change my mind on ice wine. This Riesling ice wine was pure silk, the liquid just sat on my tongue with just the right sweetness! It was just a wow moment. Thank you so much, Victoria. I cannot wait to sit with my husband and enjoy these Rieslings.

I’m blown away by our experience at Ravine Winery tonight! It was my anniversary with my partner and we had an incredible meal + winery pairing tonight. Wonderful service, INCREDIBLE food, and amazing atmosphere. I’m already recommending this place to everyone I know. THANK YOU Ravine!!

Fantastic pizza, delicous cold drinks..... From the second we came here we were greeted by the friendliest staff. Food service was super fast and the food was delicious. ( smoked meat pizza ) is my recommendation. It was perfect ❤ After a great lunch we all did a tour of the distillery..... A huge shout-out to LIAM! ( our tour guide ) what an amazing character, funny and extremely knowledgeable. Made the tour and the end of the afternoon so much fun. The tour was great, tried some delicious drinks and came out of there buying a bottle of the vanilla liqueur and a bottle of #99 whisky sour . Amazing place to spend a whole day eating, drinking and laughing. Can't wait to come back! Thank you Wayne Gretzky Estates! Wonderful memories have been made here.

We visited Wayne Gretzky Estates for a tasting in the Club Room and had such a great time. Our server, Lisa, was fantastic! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the experience feel special. The tasting itself was excellent, and to top it off we ended with a round of cocktails. The highlight was a fun little murder mystery game that actually earned us a free cocktail for our next visit. Such a unique and memorable touch! Can’t wait to come back.

Wayne Gretzky Estates Niagara-on-the-Lake is unlike any winery I’ve ever been to! The atmosphere was so relaxed and genuinely family-friendly, which is something I’ve never experienced on a wine tour before. It almost felt like a big park in the back, where adults could sip wine and cocktails while kids played and enjoyed the space. The shop was really cool, filled with classic hockey photos and Gretzky memorabilia. I loved the casual, upbeat vibe of the whole place. There’s also a restaurant on-site, which I didn’t get a chance to try this time, but it looked great. I heard there’s even a skating rink in the winter, which sounds amazing! Overall, it was alive, happening, and just a fun place to be, especially for families.

Fun tour to do while in niagara on the lake. The tasting was enjoyable trying red and white wine along with their famous whiskey and whiskey cream. Delicious! They also provided a discount on bottles at the shop after completion of the tour. The restaurant was also pretty good just wish it had abit more shade.

We have come many times and has almost become a tradition to stop here at Wayne Gretzky's to pay homage to the great one and to stock up some of his wines. Today we did a tasting and really liked the ice wine and whiskey . The beauty of doing a taste and gives you a discount at the store!

Canadian wine isn't really my thing, but I enjoyed a pleasant enough visit to Wayne Gretzky Estate winery on a recent trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake. The wine is downright bad (I am sorry to say this, but I would call it completely undrinkable), but the grounds and setting of the winery is top notch. Wayne knows what the people want, and he delivers - just not in the category of tasty wine. The winery itself is modern and welcoming. As a hockey fan, I especially appreciated all of the memorabilia of Wayne's record-breaking days as a professional athlete in the NHL. Take some time to browse so you can see it all. Also, be sure to check out the well-curated gift shop, which features some cute hockey and wine themed merchandise. We arrived in the evening without a reservation, and luckily the hostess said she could find a space for us. The tasting room was very busy, but we had a high top table for two. I noticed the clientele was mostly female / groups of women who looked like those "see and be seen" type of ladies, all decked out in designer shoes and handbags with perfect makeup and hair. This is a great place for a girls' night out, with its welcoming yet chic atmosphere. We opted for two different tastings from the menu so we could have a nice variety of wines. We chose a range from white, reds, and dessert wines, and there was absolutely nothing to our liking. We were also hungry and I was delighted they had a modest food menu (we ordered the warm baguette with whipped maple whisky butter for $10) which was tasty enough, if not Earth shattering). The tasting itself was just okay. The service was prompt and our knowledgeable hostess answered all of our questions (but wasn't much on small talk). The major problem I had is that she was doused in stinky perfume. This is a huge no-no at a winery, and whenever she came by to check on us or to deliver something to a nearby table, all I could smell was her perfume. It's not that it smelled rank or anything, but it really did interfere with the taste of the wine. The wines were very low quality, and I couldn't bring myself to take more than two tastes of each one. I guess if I had to drink something it would be the dessert wine, which was creamy yet the overpowering maple is definitely an acquired taste. Note that tastings are pricey and bottles are as well. There's a separate bar for tasting spirits and a stunning outdoor patio area if you want to come and hang a while. I'd definitely return here for the grounds and setting alone, but I'm going to pass on the wine.

Wonderful experience! Loved learning about hockey history and doing the wine tasting, everything was excellent. Great atmosphere and friendly staff - highly recommend.

Such a lovely surprise! We had a chill picnic right beside this beautifully manicured giant clock, and it made for the perfect backdrop. The nearby monuments added a nice historic touch to the visit, and the pond at the foot of the clock? Full of koi fish gliding around like they were putting on a show. Peaceful, scenic, and a great spot to slow down and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

Amazing. Enjoyed a quick stop & be able to enjoy a living history. The flowers are just gorgeous! Look around the back of it & you’ll see the different arrangement/design they have planted throughout the years.

A beautiful piece of art which changes every year. A quick and easy rest stop. I also noticed a water boat tours booth nearby.

We were worried that no more flowers by the time we visit( thanksgiving - 2025 ) . But its still in full bloom. Love how the clock rings every 15 min. There is a trail to walk or bike , we walked 3 km to reach this spot. D

Beautiful landmark and such a cool photo spot! The Floral Clock is one of those classic Niagara attractions you just have to see in person — it’s huge, colourful, and the floral designs change every season, which makes it even more special. 🌸🕒 The area around it is super peaceful and well-maintained, and it’s a quick stop right along the Niagara Parkway, perfect for photos or a short break during sightseeing. You can even hear the clock chime and see the gears working through the glass window behind it — pretty fascinating! It doesn’t take long to visit, but it’s definitely worth the stop. Great example of how simple and beautiful Niagara Parks keeps everything looking. Totally a must-see when you’re exploring the area! 🌼📸

Nice and unique place a floral arrangement clock running on original products from 1960 it’s free to visit it’s located in the last tourist attractive part of Niagara Falls so even though some crowds are there it’s not as bad as like on theclassic spots From this point you can go on to see different parks and Power stations so if you’re in the neighbourhood or are you tourist It’s definitely worth your time Also don’t forget to go around the clock to see the mechanism.

A charming little stop in the heart of Edinburgh. The floral clock is one of those quirky attractions that makes yousmile the moment you see it. The design is beautifully arranged and incredibly detailed. it's impressive how much work goes into creating a fully functioning clock out of flowers. When the blooms are at their peak, the colours are vibrant and make for great photos. It is a pretty visit, and it's definitely more of a "pause and admire" moment than a full activity. I'd recommend coming during late spring or summer; outside of that, the display isn't always at best. Still, it's unique and it's located right within the lovely princes Street Gardens, so it fits perfectly into a relaxed walk through the city.

Delicious wine and average food in a beautiful setting. Ordered the porkbelly sandwich which was not properly trimmed as there was more fat than meat. The sandwich eventually disintegrated as it was so greasy and I ended up using a knife and fork to finish. When our server asked how our food was and we mentioned the amount of fat, the server only replied sorry about that. When our table was being cleared, a different staff member asked how how lunch was and when we mentioned the amount of fat (and showed the left over fat on the plate), he also just said sorry and indicated that pork belly is like that. In hind sight, I should have asked for a little bowl of pork to replace the fat, but that is on me and a lesson learned for the future. Definitely a great place to have a drink, service was friendly (maybe unsure of handle issues).

it had been several years since we last travelled to this area to take in 1 of their amazing 'Twilight in the vineyard' concerts & it did not disappoint as we watched opener Tarra Lightfoot & headliner Matt Anderson perform on last Fridays starry night. For those that have never been - pick 1 of their many awesome shows & if time & $$ permit we highly recommend the "Proprietors Dinner' hosted in the wineries cellar Regret: we wish this wonderful venue was not a 2 1/2 hour drive !

Visited November 16th. I came here by myself on a solo getaway, and I am so glad I did. First off i get a perk through my work at Jackson-Triggs, so I thought I would use it. First off, When I walked in, I felt welcomed by the two ladies at the Front (sorry i forget their names) But they were lovely and welcoming. They explained what I can get with my perk, and they recommendation of the Bang Bang Shrimp in the restaurant, and I always take up people on their recommendations. I went into the restaurant and ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp (AMAZING SNACK) and the flight of 2 wines and an Ice Wine. My Server, Lexi was lovely. She was bubbly, attentivement, knew her stuff and actually wanted to be there for work. She Made great recommendations for the wine. I am very happy that I stopped by and I will be sure to be back and bring my family. Thank you Jackson-Triggs

Ontario‘s very own winery. It’s a great experience having lunch at such a beautiful place.

Our family had an amazing experience at JT Niagara! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were attentive and friendly, making sure every detail was taken care of. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, everyone in our family loved it! We highly recommend JT Niagara for a memorable dining experience with family.

We just had my sister’s baby shower at Jackson Triggs over the weekend and we had the most amazing experience. Lexi and Angelo were incredibly attentive and took care of our every need. They were superstars that went above and beyond to make our experiment special. They worked so hard to take care of all of our needs. The food was outstanding and so visually appealing too. We were in the cellar and loved the large space all to ourselves. I highly recommend joining the wine club, which offers you a discount, all with exceptional service. Book your next experience now!!! Thank you Angelo and Lexi!!!

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary trip to Niagara, and even our Uber driver told us how popular this place was, he said he brings people here all the time, so I was already super excited! When we arrived, Stevie welcomed us right away, and even though I had booked the wrong date 😅, he was so kind and accommodating. He still managed to set us up for a tour without any issue. Our tour guide, Doug, honestly made the entire experience unforgettable. He was super chill, funny, and so knowledgeable. The tour felt really personal, and he made sure we had time to take pictures and enjoy every part of it, he was incredibly patient with us. Later on, we also met Nick, who was just as amazing, so friendly, cheerful, and welcoming! Overall, this was a 10/10 experience and one of the biggest highlights of our trip. If you plan on doing a tour, if you can, definitely request Doug to be your tour guide, he’s the best! Oh, and don’t skip the ice wine, it’s delicious!

I recently visited Inniskillin Winery in Niagara Falls, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The winery is spacious with a beautiful setup and a stunning location, perfect for enjoying a day out. They offer an impressive selection of wines, and I had the chance to sample some truly great ones during our tasting. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. I went with friends from out of town and even from overseas, and we all had a fantastic time exploring, tasting, and soaking in the atmosphere. Overall, it was an excellent visit filled with good wine, good company, and great memories.

we did tour and tasting. very satisfied and really enjoyed our time in Inniskillin. our tour guide, Yvonne, was amazing. loved ice wine we tasted, ended up tasting more wines and buying three bottle :) beautiful winery with interesting story!

My pup and I had a wonderful visit to Inniskillin Wines. The property is beautifully maintained with plenty of seating options—tables and lounge chairs outside, plus air-conditioned indoor seating that was perfect on a hot day. I especially appreciated how dog-friendly the staff and winery are, both inside and out. I did a tasting of all three ice wines, which costs $40, and learned a lot about their production. If you spend over $50 on wines, then you get $10 off your tasting. Although we didn’t have time to eat, the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, making it easy to see why this winery has such a great reputation.

The reputable Inniskillin Winery is worth a visit. An hour long tour with wine tasting cost $30, on a first come first serve basis. The tour ticket gets you a $10 discount on any wine purchase. We visited today and found out that their signature Gold Vidal Icewine was on sale with $10 off. Along with the $10 discount from the tour, with a total of $20 discount, which was a very good deal.

Came for lunch and did a tasting. Food was good, service was good, wine was good, so nothing to complain about. I had the peach burger and my husband had the brisket sandwich (peach burger was our favourite). Of all the wines, the sparkling ice wine was most interesting that we left with a bottle.

An iconic stop for ice wine lovers. Our first winery stop in the region. We arrived shortly after opening and found a few groups already sipping wine on the lawn. Plenty of parking, and unlike some other wineries in the area, no drawn-out tours or gimmicky tastings. Just a straightforward, well-run setup. We went with their standard three-wine tasting ($25–$30 depending on the selections), which allowed two dry wines and one ice wine. Since it was still early in the day, we didn’t want to start with an all-sugar lineup. Inniskillin is a pioneer in Canadian ice wine and Gold Vidal was where it first started. So of course, we tried their signature Gold Vidal, which was described as bright and peach-forward. Unfortunately, we found the sweetness a bit overpowering. Our favorite was the Cabernet Sauvignon Ice Wine. Still rich and sweet but with a touch of red fruit depth that made it more tolerable. All the dry wines we tried were relatively mundane. Nice bonus: tastings come with discounts on wine purchases over a certain amount. Since we picked up a few bottles, we got $20 off our total (just over $100).

I have tried their wine a few times on restaurant menus over the years, but it was my first time visiting. Lovely winery, friendly staff and beautiful grounds with a picturesque patio. Did a tasting, the standout by far was the Vidal Icewine, this is the best I’ve ever tasted, perfectly balanced, sweet but not overly sweet and not too syrupy like some others I’ve tried. So good I bought 2 bottles, can’t wait to enjoy!

If you're looking for an ice cream shop that goes above and beyond, COWS Niagara-On-The-Lake is definitely worth a visit! They boast a huge variety of flavors, so you're sure to find something that tickles your fancy. I highly recommend stopping by if you're craving an ice cream that's both delicious and picture-perfect. I grabbed my cone and found a bench nearby, and let me tell you, enjoying that sweet treat while surrounded by the beautiful town scenery made it taste twice as good! It's the perfect combination of great ice cream and charming ambiance.

Such a beautiful ice cream shop!! If you come to Niagara-ON-The-Lake, COWS is the perfect place for a yummy snack! Their ice cream feels so natural and there is a great selection of flavours. My favourite was the strawberry sorbet paired with the walnut-covered cone. Although there was a huge lineup, their staff is so quick and efficient which makes the wait time go smoothly. Their staff is also very polite and nice, and their customer service is exceptional, they don’t rush you and will give you good recommendations if you are unsure of their flavours. There are no washrooms inside, but there are very clean public washrooms just around the corner behind the courthouse (less than 1 min walk away). This place is well worth the hype!! I would definitely come back! 🤍🍦

Cows definitely puts the creaminess in ice cream! Stopped by for a couple of scoops and really enjoyed how heavily creamy they were. Tried the Moo Crunch and PEI Blueberry on cones, and liked how the flavours came through and how they weren't overly sweet. Only quibbles were the blueberries were too icy and the cones were a bit hard. But overall, really enjoyed. This is the perfect spot to stop by and grab a scoop to make that walk along Queen Street even more enjoyable.

What a cute shop - there was a pretty big line up even on a weeknight! The wait was quick though… we only waited about 10 minutes to be served and pay. The store is filled with cute merchandise - if you’re an impulsive buyer;m, you might be in trouble slowly zigzagging toward the ice cream counter! They don’t have regular cones but their sugar cones were delicious! We had the chocolate dipped ones. We had a Vanilla cone and a PEI Blueberry cone. Well worth the money!! Be prepared if you’re buying for a family 😉

Went here after seeing so many rave reviews. There was a long line that stretched all the way to the back door, but it moved fairly quickly—we waited about 15 minutes. We ordered three double scoops: the coconut cream pie and maple walnut were standouts—creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. We also got chocolate and vanilla, which were classic and safe choices. Overall, the ice cream isn’t overly sweet, which I liked. That said, it was good—but honestly, a bit overrated.

Cow’s Ice Cream is absolutely exceptional and truly worth the hype! It’s a must-visit when you’re in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area. We tried a couple of samples before choosing a scoop of Maple Walnut (because, Canada!) and the Wowie Cowie—both were outstanding. One of the highlights was watching the waffle cones being made fresh from scratch. Even better, you can have them decorated with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other fun toppings, which makes the treat feel extra special. The staff worked really hard to keep the long line moving, and they did it with such friendliness and efficiency. This spot is basically a souvenir shop and ice cream parlor all in one—the adjoining shop is full of playful, cow-themed merchandise that makes the visit even more fun. There are entrances at both the front and back, which is super convenient. A quick note: there isn’t any seating inside or outside, so be ready to grab your cone and stroll the beautiful streets of Niagara-on-the-Lake while you enjoy.

Of all the flavors we got, the mango sorbet was my favorite! On a very hot summer day, it was a cool breeze! We knew it was popular, but we weren't expecting such a long line. Thankfully, it didn't take too long for our turn, & we got inside the store soon enough. The server who made my sundae was polite & dedicated to offering me all the options without rushing too much. The flavor options were great, like the peach melba.

Amazing place. Can climb the monument step over 250 of them. Been a few time and found out this time his remains are actually buried right were I was standing... nit with family but with his right hand servant....hmmm seemed kinda weird. The views and history are amazing. The drive along the Nigara down river from the falls to the monument is filled with amazing photo opertunities. Amazing to do with your early teens as they will be learning this in school ( if in Ontario,Canada )in the next few years of there life...great?day trip if in southern Ontario.

Queenston Heights Park is an extraordinary destination that offers a blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and recreational opportunities. The park's well-maintained gardens and scenic trails provide a perfect setting for leisurely strolls and picnics, with stunning views of the Niagara River and surrounding landscapes. History enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive Brock Monument and the park's rich historical context. The facilities are top-notch, and the staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant visit for everyone. Whether you're looking to explore, relax, or learn, Queenston Heights Park is a must-visit gem that promises an unforgettable experience.

Quiet and peaceful, away from huge crowds. Great place to spend a summer day! The view is incredible from Brock's monument. Close to floral clock as well!

I have to make a special trip to come back again . I went to this park yesterday because we joined a day trip tour to the Niagara-on-the-Lake and we were there to have lunch at the restaurant. Only have time to take a few photos of the Brock's Monument, didn't have time to see the whole park. I can see good children playground, beautiful flowers and trees, over looking the Niagara River . Should be very beautiful in the Falls.

Visited Queenston Heights Park in late February where the signs state that the walkways aren’t maintained in the winter. You’d never know. The park was beautiful and well maintained. Outstanding views with lots of historical information posted.

Spectacular view. Amazing well maintained park. Rich in history and quiet. You would fall in love visiting this place. It was wintertime during my last visit and the view of the Niagara river is wonderful its more clearer view than summertime🥰 Not crowded. Its a very relaxing place. Its uniquely beautiful in every season 🥰

A nice well maintained park with a view of the Niagara River. Place is peaceful during my visit. Restaurants and food park are closed this time of the month but will be open during summer and peak season.

Charming but prices are not readily available so we did not buy anything. They were fresh cookies and sandwiches but if I have to ask how much I will not purchase. They had some beautifully crafted homemade jams, jellies, relish, etc that looked very good and the prices were underneath the jars. They also had ice cream and fresh fruit. This looks like a great place to stop during a summer drive. Washrooms are also available as well as a tiny church tourist attraction

Our tour bus stopped here for lunch yesterday. It had fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of bottled/canned goods, pies, one cream counter, deli counter with sandwiches and pastries, and candy. We got the Montreal smoked meat sandwiches on sourdough bread for $10 each. The meat inside was a good inch thick and very tasty!

It's a beautiful country market that sells fresh fruits and vegetables. They also have a great bakery section, if you're looking for tarts they have a good selection. Plenty of parking. Always worth a visit. I don't think I'd pay a buck and a quarter for an ear of corn though.

Nice market selling fresh fruits, pastries, ice cream, jams and other things. I really love their gluten free vegan choco chip cookies because they're thin and a perfect combination of chewy & crunchy! We also bought pecan tarts, apples, grapes and corn. Yum😃

I love this market. The staff are friendly and helpful. Everything I've purchased from them has been delicious. The peach tarts, peach scones, various preserves are some of my favorites so far. This is a great place to stop if you are in the area.

Ice cream is the best. Nice place to sit and relax. That small chapel is an added attraction.

Amazing country market besides the smallest chapel in the world, local products, friendly staff, plenty of parking, public washrooms, beautiful scenery. Definitely deserves 5 stars. Closed from November to March every year.

Came here while visiting a friends wedding, and got a turkey sandwich. Was pretty busy, but expected since it was a Saturday around lunch time. Solid choice for lunch in a tourist spot! I'd say if you aren't too hungry, skip the sandwich and just get one of the chimneys with a dip since that's normally much faster.

My husband and I are visiting Canada for the first time to see Niagara Falls and we stopped in Niagara-on-the-Lake for boutique shopping and a snack. When I walked past Budapest Bakery and saw the words "chimney cakes" I had to see what that was all about! I went inside and it smelled like a fresh-baked heaven. I ordered the Sausage Chimney for my husband and I to share and it was amazing! The Hungarian sausage had a robust flavor, but not overpowering, and it went so well with the delicious, soft freshly baked Aged Cheddar Chimney. Also to note, the Sausage Chimney came with a side of sport peppers and yellow mustard packets. I LOVE sport peppers, so that was a pleasant surprise! I highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area! Worth all the calories.

Never had bakery bread quite like this before! The chimney shape alone makes it stand out. I tried the cinnamon, the classic, and two savory options — all turned out extraordinary. If I had to pick, the cinnamon and sausage are my top votes, but honestly, everything was flavorful and so satisfying. This spot is definitely on my Ontario favorites list for a weekend getaway or staycation. I’ll be back next time I’m in Niagara-on-the-Lake this fall.

Great take out spot offering both savoury and sweet options. Traditional chimney cakes with sausage or any sweet chimney cakes. they are all made in house and offered until they sell out. the line could get long depending on time of year and day. Also, it is not uncommon for the shop to get hit with an unexpected tour bus or get busier than anticipated and sell out before their closing hours. We have never had a bad experience here, the fair is always good and fresh. Recently tried one of their walnut rolls and it was delicious.

Yummy and Fresh chimney cakes! We tried the Jalapeño cheese chimney cake and it tasted great. Cute little shop at Niagara on the lake. They have variety of flavors for chimney cake and many options for sandwiches as well. Highly recommend if visit the beautiful town!

Amazing sweet and savory dishes. We had the coconut cheesecake one and the herb and cheese one in a chicken pesto sandwich special. Both were AMAZING. They were so good we picked up a third to go to have the next day. Highly recommend.

Yummy chimney cakes. Very fresh. If you go at the end of the day, they might only have a few flavours left. Go early

Simcoe Park is a serene green space located in the heart of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. This beautifully maintained park offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling tourist attractions nearby, such as the falls themselves and the surrounding entertainment district. The park features open lawns, shaded seating areas, and pathways perfect for a leisurely stroll or a quiet moment of reflection. What stands out is its accessibility and proximity to major landmarks, making it a convenient spot to relax while exploring the city. Visitors often appreciate its clean, tranquil environment and the contrast it provides to the vibrant energy of Niagara Falls. Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind or a scenic location for a picnic, Simcoe Park is a charming choice.

This large and beautiful park has a small fountain in the corner that was delighting many small children on a hot day. There are also many playground equipment spots. Benches abound for tired feet and many are in the shade of large mature trees. An ample sized washroom is available as well.

INSANELY BEAUTIFUL! I arrived a little late in the afternoon but very much enjoyed a present moment in the park relaxing and journaling. My dogs loved the soft green grass.

Great park! And greater if you visit on Canada's Day. They have food, live music, a live band and classic cars that you can take pictures of.

A beautiful park located across the street from the Prince of Wales Hotel. The park offers many picnic tables, a play ground and open areas for family enjoyment. It has a relaxing atmosphere.

Beautiful lake view and walking path; but this year town has done little landscaping and the benches are locked up, all parkometers around for people to park and walk around.

This place was beautiful! Lovely and shaded with a park AND a free small wading pool with lifeguards! The only downside is apparently after 6 they drain the wading pool and they close and drain the pool and there were many upset children there my daughter included when we brought her to play just after dinner.

Pleasantly surprised to see both the group of seven paintings here, as well a renoir. Absolute gem right here in our backyard Niagara.

If you're a fan of art and find yourself in the Queenston area, the RiverBrink Art Museum is definitely worth a visit. The museum has a good collection of art pieces, showcasing the works of Canadian and American artists. The building itself is charming and well-maintained, with a lovely outdoor space to explore as well. However, it's worth noting that there isn't much else going on at the museum besides the art. So if you're looking for a more interactive experience or activities for kids, you may be disappointed. Additionally, it's not particularly stroller-friendly, as there are some steps and narrow passages that can make maneuvering a stroller difficult. Overall, I'd recommend the RiverBrink Art Museum to art lovers and those looking for a quiet, contemplative experience. Just be aware of the limitations in terms of accessibility and activities.

Very beautiful spot for pictures. Located on the bend of the Niagara Parkway going into Queenston. I did not attend the museum.

Cool but the workers weren’t very helpful

Visited for their annual Brink Art Festival and wasn't disappointed!

absolutely amazing gallery in niagra area, cannot reccomend enough for art enjoyers to see. entry is free but donations are encouraged, which i of course highly reccomend one do. the gallery supports local artists, as well as preserving niagra history and artistic culture. there’s a very expansive library, and gorgeous pieces on display. i’m an art university student from the uk, and loved getting to see both local history and art. the pieces are displayed within the homestead, preserving the building, which both preserves art and history. the library is free and an open archival resource, my friend even asked about coming back to read in the library and use its books about history and art as academic reference, which the kind lady was more than happy to say that my friend could. there’s also events and local information at the gift shop/reception desk. i forgot to look at her name and im sorry, but the lady working around noon on 11th may 2024 was incredibly kind and loved to speak to us about art and history, and we of course loved to speak to her. it was great being able to ask local questions, as well as discuss the pieces and history with her. part of me doesn’t want to reccomend this place as a tourist stop as it was so lovely to be there alone with my travel group, but i can’t in good conscience not leave a review 🩷

A hidden 💎 in Niagara— a strong collection, interesting visiting exhibitions and a curatorial and events team that enthusiastically seeks to broaden their audience base with diverse and engaging programming throughout the year— and a gift shop that highlights local artists, artisans and writers. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Cute little shop on the corner. The guy serving us was so nice and very courteous. I love apples, cinnamon and donuts, so these fritters fits the bill. Caution, they are really hot even after 10 minutes. The apple slushy was really good especially when its 30°C. There are a fe tables on the patio and some seating inside. Its small and quaint.

We had the apple fritters with ice cream and they were so fresh and tasty - 10/10 would recommend. The staff were so nice and friendly too. Our fritters had a 5 min wait so we were given a mini sample to try in the meantime. We were offered sauces (we chose caramel) which added an unexpected $2.50, but I could look past that once we tasted the fritters! This is a must do at Niagara on the lake.

Nice specialty pastry shop. The fritters were fresh and warm. We ordered the plain cinnamon sugar and they threw in a free extra one with caramel sauce for us to try. It is literally a fried apple ring. Great to heat the next day for breakfast. The outdoor patio was nice and quaint. Great location to coffee shops and specialty stores. This is a beautiful little town. Walking distance to the park, public washroom, carriage rides and shops.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars for both food and service! The owner was such an incredibly nice man and the fritters are the best apple fritters I’ve ever had, this is coming from someone whose favorite dessert is apples and cinnamon sugar. Next time we’re in the area we will be stopping by again.

Fun, friendly, and delicious. We got fritters every time we were downtown on our vacation. One time we got there 20 minutes after closing time. The owner was just walking out to leave, and he handed me a free box of 1/2 fritters that was carrying.

Shop worker (owner?) was so nice and the apple fritters hit the spot! Fritters were all tasty by themselves or with sauce but my favorite was the fritter with maple syrup. Photos feature the fritters + drinks from coffee shop next door.

We had a great experience at Fritters on the Lake! The apple fritter donuts were so fresh and tasty. The staff were also very friendly, welcoming, and thoughtful. We will definitely be returning again the next time we visit Niagara-on-the-lake!

We were walking through Niagara on lake neighbourhood’s and came across this beautiful area. I leaned a lot and I encouraged my kids to read the information. Very nice and educational experience.

Free to visit. Difficult to find parking in the area during the summer months. Moving experience to talk through this park. Good place to reflect. Some benches to enjoy your time. Well maintained park all around. Plaques all around explaining this tribute.

Couldn’t find parking, so just a drive by. The town is really cute, and amazingly crowded. Everything is high end - looks like a hangout for the very rich. If you want to see how they live, drive through the neighborhood - just don’t try and park.

This was a beautiful experience to visit this park. Thank you for creating something special to remember the men and women who traveled North toward freedom.

Great green space to go and a very important part of Canadian history and those with African descent taught here on these plaques.

It was a moving experience to visit this park and reflect on the past and present. The park showcases important events in Canadian history. It is important to know about the significant Black presence in Canada, and specifically in Niagara on the Lake.

This is the first stop on the Voices of Freedom journey. A great way to begin viewing the history of people of African descent in Niagara Region. The art installation is well done and thoughtful.

Moderate trail level. View after a long trail was just too good. Nice, peaceful and calm near the river. Lush green trees, tiny colourful flowers, clean and clear water just were eye pleasing. Definitely a must try trail. They is ample parking space and picnic tables to rest too.

Views are great. Trails is usually well kept and not too busy, except on hot summer days when there are lots of cyclists. Trail crosses the sometimes busy parkway a few times so beware. Nice to have a place to walk away from the city.

This spot will always hold a special place in my heart. 💜

It's good... losers make you pay everywhere for parking!

I've thoroughly experienced this trail, all the way to Niagara On-the-lake, for the past 27 years, and it never gets old. It's a magnificent place to walk, run, or ride your bike. I highly recommend this trail, specially if you love nature.

Legs will be burning and heart will be racing. All good stuff!! It's a very slippery trail. Make each step count.

Great trail, especially in the fall. Colours are amazing. Lots of stairs, so be prepared to climb down (and then up!!!!). Definitely worth it.

I have traveled all over the United States and a decent amount of Canada, and this store is a true gem! This place is LOADED with AMAZING hand-made things. This man & woman really do have a very special store.

A wonderfully curated shop of Inuit art of all types from Canada’s northern regions. A wide range of objects along with a wide range of prices make it a great place to purchase the works of many native peoples to fit one’s budget.

What a beautiful store! My family and I felt very welcome when we walked in this past summer. The owner took the time to describe the stunning pieces she had on display. My son is very happy with his new dream catcher and the little temp tattoos she gave to him.

The store specializes in Inuit and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) art celebrating and promoting Canadian Native Artisans. The store has stuff ranging from winter gear such as gloves, hats, scarfs to home decor and art pieces. The collection is unique and artisanal but I found the prices a little expensive.

Enjoyed the selection of indigenous art and overall vibe of this store. Spoke with the shopkeep about Morrisseau and Jasper and found him very knowledgeable and kind. Would 💯 return and give this man my business.

When asked what nations are represented the sales person just very rudely said, all over Canada….. Most of the pieces don’t have direct labeling over all really disappointing. I appreciate what is labeled but she seemed very upset at the questions asked.

Upper Canada Native Art is a fantastic and creative Art store! The Supervisor, Alex, was very knowledgeable, professional and personal in every way to share the joy of the individual artists representing at the Art store! We will return for a another treasure!

Fantastic experience! Gorgeous property! Beautiful selection of wine! Yunus & Dot were exceptional, so knowledgeable about the property and the wine selection. Thank you for your superior expertise! Château des Charmes should 100% be on your list when visiting Niagara Wine Country!

I visited Chateau Des Charmes as part of a trip to Toronto/Niagara in July. This was the first stop of our trip & it definitely set it off to a great start. Beautiful property, very spacious and was nice and quiet when we visited. The staff were so lovely & extremely knowledgeable about the wines. We had booked the wine tasting and learnt a lot about each & what paired best with them. I especially want to thank Anywn - she was great, very attentive and made sure to keep checking if we needed anything. Offered to take our photos and just overall made us feel very welcome. She is a credit to your team! If you’re looking for a vineyard to visit, I would definitely recommend this one!

We had a wonderful tasting experience at the winery. The wines were excellent — elegant and well-crafted. The service was outstanding as well, with Galina’s knowledge and warm, professional approach adding a lot to the overall experience. It’s clear she cares about making visitors feel welcome and enjoy the tasting. Highly recommended!

Stopped by Château des Charmes for a quick visit, and couldn’t resist grabbing several bottles including their 2024 Gamay Nouveau, 2020 Equuleus, and a few other selections. Their wines never disappoint! Beautiful spot, friendly staff, and consistently excellent quality. Always worth the stop. 🍷

Our visit to Château des Charmes in Niagara on the Lake was a dream! It's the most peaceful and serene winery I've ever visited! We were lucky to be there on a gorgeous sunny day, and the backyard area was the perfect spot to unwind. Their big, comfy white leather couches made it easy to sit back with our drinks, relax, and enjoy every minute of quiet conversation surrounded by the picturesque setting. The gentleman who greeted us was truly made for his role. He was incredibly personable and professional. He did a fantastic job explaining all of our options when we arrived and guided us effortlessly through the experience. There are plenty of choices, from tastings and individual glasses to cocktails and mocktails. My mojito came out initially missing some mint and muddling, but they handled it beautifully. The bartender immediately made things right, remade the drink perfectly, and even comped it with a genuine smile. The kind of old school, attentive hospitality ( becoming increasingly rare these days), they absolutely excelled at it! Overall, Château des Charmes completely exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere, the people, and the impeccable attention to guests made for a memorable and relaxing afternoon. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing experience! Would recommend. We did the $25 tasting menu and enjoyed all 4 wines. François était le meilleur sommelier!! He was friendly and let my sister try a Riesling to see if she would like it :) thank you

We had one of the most nicest experiences at the winery, Fernanda our tour guide was amazing. I learned so much from her from the history of the chateau to the biology and science behind the process of wine making. She was very knowledgeable about everything. Answered all of questions, and no doubt made our tour easy and very enjoyable. If you ever go, ask for Fernanda 😁.
