2. Niagara Falls

Three magnificent falls, two American and one Canadian, mark the point at which the Niagara River rumbles over the Niagara Escarpment.
Reviewed By J&J913 - Maryland
The fall are beautiful! We went in March 2018 and all the side walks say not in service during the winter but they were clear of now. We stayed on the main strip. I recommend going to see the falls before 10am. After that it’s just crowds. We paid for the creation of the falls that was dumb and then behind the falls which was crowded and really not worth it. If u are claustrophobic avoid both of those.
Basically we loved the falls but there really is not a lot to do in the winter unless u like Casinos which we don’t.
3. St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre at Lock 3
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 294 reviews
Reviewed By Coljac - Caversham, United Kingdom
We intended only to visit Niagara Falls whilst staying in this area, but luckily discovered this Centre and spent an interesting couple of hours here. The museum was informative (but we by-passed the Lacrosse section as this was not why we came here). The highlight was being able to view close-up a ship going through lock 3. Because of its size the vessel took a long time to move into the lock and it virtually filled the whole, extremely large space between the two sets of gates. The high viewing gallery was great. (NB The gift shop served coffee, but apart from this there were no catering facilities)

5. Lock 7 Viewing Complex
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 43 reviews
Reviewed By Dean S - Alberta
I was in Niagara and looking for something other than Falls. Lock 7 is on the Welland Canal and about 20 minutes away. The "museum" and education center is a small building that house some historical artefacts and information on the history of the canal. Best part - the friendliest person answered my questions and provided some hiking advice (and let me use the washroom!)
A good parking spot and "refreshment" center for the canal!
6. St. Johns Conservation Area
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
Reviewed By Robby G C - Toronto, Canada
I liked St. Johns Conservation Area. They have several trails. We went first walking around the lake. It was gorgeous. An old couple were relaxing on a bench. There were lots of ducks and geese.
Then we walked into the woods. That was fun too and we ended seeing a spring-fed pond. It was completely pure. No movement could be seen in that pond. It was truly beautiful!
We came back revitalized. We had fun and had a good trek!
7. Morningstar Mill
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 112 reviews
Reviewed By KathleenR_28 - Port Dover, Canada
Morningstar Mill offers not only a glimpse into the past but also a place to hike and enjoy the Waterfalls. There are information boards that provide brief backgrounds about the heritage buildings. There is one board that explained that in the winter, those who worked here in the early years even collected the ice that formed at the Waterfalls. The ice was then packed in saw dust and transported to the cellar of a nearby building. This was was used to cool perishables in the summer. I found this really interesting.
During the summer months, there is a volunteer that gives a talk about the mill.
The view of the Waterfalls is better in spring or winter, when the trees are bare.
Take your time in this heritage site. There is a lot to learn and appreciate.
8. Chateau des Charmes

Reviewed By jess R - Hamilton, Canada
We really liked Galina our tasting host. She had lots of information and knew the wines well. She treated us with respect, acknowledging our personal preferences and palettes. We were asked what we wanted to try instead of being told what to try. Lots of choices in white and red wines, 4 per tasting.
We had not previously tried any wines from this winery. Their white and rose sparkling were both refreshing. Only tried one white, their Riesling. Tried a variety of their reds, with the 2012 Merlot being our favourite. Their signature Euccheleus was like the Meritage we have tried at other wineries, with complex and unique flavours. Only a few of their wines are available at the LCBO. Worth a stop at this St. Catherine's winery.
9. DeCou House

Reviewed By Peter M - Niagara Falls, Canada
This waterfall is picturesque, however in desperate need of some cleanup. The hike down to the falls is very nice and not too brisk. However the entire way there you will find empty beer bottles and other assorted garbage. It is sad that people feel the need to ruin such a nice place with their garbage. I would not return until I have heard of a major cleanup taking place.
