Dont miss the falls but keep on going!
by mtstranscribe
You have to, of course, see the falls. One of the most awesome sites in the US, but then keep going 15 minutes up the road and the world changes. From tourist traps, franchise hotels and restaurants, and crowds, crowds, crowds the scenery changes to parks, wineries, bicycle and walking trails, and then into the absolutely gorgeous town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Cobblestone streets, horse and carriages, bed and breakfasts, cafes, and of course the Shaw Festival showcasing wonderful theatre productions all over town! It was so peaceful and enjoyable strolling through the town yet there was lots to do. Not one billboard in site. Amazing! And no McDonald's!!!!!!! See the falls and then stay in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Visit a historical fort, shop for antiques, see a play, and eat at a wonderful cafe. Stay at one of the many spas and get pampered or stroll down the street to one of the lovely little B&Bs. Pictures will be loaded soon! One of the first vacations I have been on where I truly relaxed and enjoyed peace and quiet yet had fun and saw so many new things.
Dufferin Islands
by kris-t
Nice trails invite leisurely walks that wind through the 11 small islands, over many small bridges and lead to wonderful areas where it is possible to view waterfowl and other inhabitants. The Dufferin Islands are an excellent location to enjoy a picnic lunch.
500 m. (0.5 Mile) south of Horseshoe Falls.
Eat Fresh Bio Apples
by galeena1
Due to construction work in the central district , we had to take a side road through some gardens to get to the parking lot. It turned out those are used to grow sweet apple. We had apples for lunch and it was so yummy. If you re there in the apple season dont miss a try.
Incline Railway
by Dabs
After finishing up with Journey Behind the Falls and Niagara's Fury we followed the sign to the Incline Railway which was also included with our Adventure Pass as well as the People Mover Pass. There was no wait to get up so we flashed our People Mover Pass and got on for the short ride up the incline. Once up there, take a walk along the walkway towards town for a different view of the Falls.
Look for the UFO
by feline01 about Flying Saucer
We ate here daily because my husband loved the food. It is very similar to New Jersey diner food, good food with huge portions. The restaurant can't be missed, it's the only UFO that I saw on Lundy Lane. Good coffee (a must!)
Breakfast items
Texas Toast (huge slabs of toast)
