Beautiful Trails near the Niagara River.
If you're up for a more challenging walk in nature and some forest bathing, this is your place to go! Please know there are a lot of steps to get down and back up to the trails but it's totally worth the priceless views! You will be immersed in a beautiful forest. Parking is $5/hr.

This is a cute nearby parkette with docks along the river where you can go enjoy a nice walk or picnic on one of the many picnic tables. There's a little play area for children here as well. Parking is free or you can follow the trails near our home to get there (following the trails would take about 33 minutes to walk there).

For an amazing aerial view of the Horseshoe Falls and surrounding areas (including Clifton Hill and the casino), the ticket up to the tower to the observation deck is worth the price. The entire experience will probably oniy take you about a half hour. There is also a fun arcade for the kids at the ground level inside the tower.

The tour in the power station is AMAZING and absolutely worth the price. You get to learn really cool information about the falls + the history of harnessing the power of the falls. In summer of 2022, Niagara Parks opened a viewing platform that you can only access through the Tunnel at the Power Station. This viewing platform has an INCREDIBLE view of the falls, absolutely breathtaking! This alone makes it worth the admission to the Power Station. You take a glass-walled elevator 180ft down to a the Tunnel, which is 2000ft long to access the viewing platform. Definitely and experience you will always remember.

I have come to this place for years, all the way from when I was a child, to very recently. It is a historically preserved apothecary, set up like a small museum containing old medicine, vials, and tools of the trade. The ladies that run it are retired pharmacists themselves and are super knowledgeable with a friendly chat. They used to sell licorice root that you can chew on, but I didn't see it at my last visit.

If you feel like doing something that is a typical tourist attraction, the Maid of the Mist boat ride to the fall is it! Did it many times with visiting family growing up and recently with friends visiting from abroad. An adult ticket was $32.75+tax, and the boat ride lasts about 20 minutes. You will get wet from all the mist, but they do provide you with a plastic cape.

This is my favourite local Italian restaurant. Everything I've tried is delicious and great portions (Chicken Milanese, Seafood Platter, Charcuterie Board, Johnny's Pizza, Calabrese Pizza, Cannoli Kit, Sangria Kit, Chicken Milano Family Bundle). Their pizzas are made in a wood-burning stove, which you can see in the restaurant. They have 20% off Takeout on Tuesdays and Tapas Thursdays. They have a Surf & Turf Date fixed price dinner. They also have Family Meals at a great price, that will leave you full! Parking is free. They do delivery.

But what they're really known for are they Beereritas - a Margherita with a beer bottle (Corona or something else) coming out of it - and their gigantic 45oz Margheritas!

Oh my goodness, this place has the best chicken sandwiches and crispiest fries ever! Everything is made by hand, from scratch - the breading, the sauces - no wonder it's so tasty! The owner, Harmeet, is so kind and sweet and came to check how we were enjoying our meal and took great care of us. He explained how he marinates the chicken for 16 hours and there's 10 different spices in the chicken seasoning, so even without the delicious breading, the chicken has great flavour! Their dining area indoors is modest and casual, as they are new and still growing, but they have a great patio. They even have a fantastic convenience store and incredible selection of cold drinks, snacks, ice cream and basic grocery items (bread, eggs, milk, butter, cheese, cream)

If you're heading back towards the Greater Toronto Area, Buvette is the perfect restaurant and bar to enjoy a fantastic meal. It is a higher end restaurants - I'm only mentioning this so you know what to expect price-point wise - but the quality of the food and the experience is absolutely worth it. We always have an amazing experience at Buvette! Alex and his team always go above & beyond from their warm welcome at the door, to the impeccable service (we usually have Chris taking care of our table), to the delicious food and fantastic wines and drinks. It would be very hard to recommend just one favourite dish, as everything on their menu is wonderful - from their fresh seafood to their grilled meat platters to their pasta dishes and phenomenal appetizers (you gotta try their seafood fritto misto and Korean Fried Cauliflower). Dessert wise, their tiramisu and mascarpone cheesecake are on another level. The restaurant itself is beautiful with perfect lighting, great music and classy, elegant decor and vibes. You gotta try their prosecco pops on a nice summer day! Great place for a special occasion, event or date night! Ample parking right across the street.

The service, wine, food and overall experience at Bella Terra Vineyard is outstanding! Andrea, Breanna and Catherine are so warm and welcoming, fun to chat with and give amazing wine recommendations based on your preferences. I’m more of a red person, but I must say the sparkling brut is so pleasant. You don’t notice any dryness and it goes down so smoothly and really opens the palate. The pinot noir and merlot are also delicious and rich. And the appasimento is one-of-a-kind! This was my first time trying appasimento wine (made from dried raisins), and it is such a beautiful celebration wine definitely for sipping and not for everyday dinner – it is really special, had to pick up a bottle and save it for a special day with my husband! The Cabernet Franc icewine is comfortably sweet and delightful. The charcuterie board is so generous and large. Everything is made with such care – the prosciutto is real parma and sliced so thinly, the way it’s supposed to be (they slice everything by hand to perfection in the kitchen). The cheeses are delicious. The wine jelly is phenomenal and the cute little red pimento peppers are adorable. It’s such a generous board, packed with various meats, cheeses, and Italian antipasti, this board could easily be a lunch for 2. The atmosphere is so cozy, love the fireplace and the barrel tables. I have also ordered Pondview wines in the past and they are wonderful as well.

Adult ticket is $11.99+ tax , children up to 4 years old are free, and children 4-12 are $8.99 + tax.
This is a fun outdoor activity (weather permitting of course)! And it's right on Clifton Hill, right in the fun zone of Niagara Falls! You can probably spend a good 45 minutes here. Adult tickets are $11.99+tax, children 12 & under are $6.99+tax.

If you are looking for a fun and silly activity for yourself or the kids, this is the better of the 2 mirror mazes on Clifton Hill. It has 2 sections of mirror mazes as well as a couple of other fun sections.

This chocolate factory is on your way to & back from the wineries in Niagara-on-the-Lake. You might be able to catch one of their free tours if your drop in at the right time. They explain how they make everything (you see the factory behind the glass), the events that they host, and you get to try a few of their different chocolates and warm melted chocolate. And of course, you get to shop all of their items in their store.

Shopping
I'm not big on malls, but if you're looking to do some shopping while you're here, this is the place. It's an outdoor outlet mall, so you get to enjoy some fresh air, and also has a food area and outdoor food trucks. Prices are reasonable, but not cheap. The Aritzia does have better sales than most and the Lululemon is also decent. Free parking.

This is my favourite bakery nearby! There is no place to sit and eat inside, but they make amazing fresh bread, pizza slices and Italian cookies. They also sell cheeses, deli items, and jarred antipasto items.

This is my favourite grocery store in the Niagara area. It's an Italian grocery store, so has all the stuff I grew up with. They also have a little coffee shop/cafe inside. Espressos there are great. They also make pizzas there. It's about 17 minute drive, but the quality of the produce, the selection of the things I like and the fairly reasonable prices make it worthwhile for us.

The entire experience in the store is wonderful! As soon as we entered, we were warmly greeted by Melissa, who offered us a lavender chocolate to try. She then took the time to explain and give us samples of their 2 different types of lavender, rose geranium and lemon balm extracts, including their benefits. They have their own farm and grow them all on Niagara Stone Road, in Niagara on the Lake! If you are looking for a shop with locally produced products with locally-grown ingredients, this is it! Ended up purchasing a couple of their lavender plants, a large bottle of the lavender and rosemary shampoo (it is to help with hair growth) and a bottle of sparkling lavender water (which was absolutely refreshing and delicious). They have a very extensive assortment of skin care, hair care, household products and snack items.

This is such fun, quirky store. As suggested by the name, they only sell Christmas items all year round, and it's a BIG store. I LOVED this store as a kid, it was so magical walking around it (the colours, the lights, the sparkles, the Christmas magic). It's just a fun, cute place to stop by if you're already in the area, and your kids will love it.

Beer Brewery & Food
Absolutely loved the service, the beer and the food was awesome! We shared the wings with the Texas Gold sauce to start. This has to be one of the best wing flavours ever! It's like a honey garlic with a spicy kick to it. Then I had the Paisano sandwich with Quebec Poutine as a side. Both were so yummy and such big portions! For beer, I had their Bad Blood dark lager and it was so nice and smooth.

Had a great time with here a group of friends! Their selection of beer is fantastic and I loved that that they had 3 different dark beers/stouts that I could include in my flight. I also ordered the Bahn Mi sandwich and fried cauliflower. Portions are big and the food is tasty!
