Family Business in Downtown St. Catharines located at 100 Welland Ave, Between Lake and Geneva. Come get your DELICIOUS CHOCOLATES, GELATO, COFFEE & DESSERTS. Live music Saturday nights all summer long! Check our website for more info.
We stumbled upon Chocolates, Etc on our way to Niagara--what an unexpected treasure of delectable treats! Between the four of us, we sampled them all. From gourmet Belgian chocolates and European pastries to specialty coffees and delicious Italian gelato--we thought we had died and gone to heaven! Not only were our tastebuds treated, but so were all our other senses, as the store, itself, makes you feel like you've stepped into old Europe. A family run business, we were made to feel right at home and appreciated the love and attention that went into everything that surrounded us. We then went out and enjoyed our desserts on a lovely patio--& because it was Saturday night, there was live music being performed! Needless to say, we got some goodies for the road. Thank you, Chocolates, Etc, for treating us not only to some of the most mouth-watering treats we've ever had--but for treating us like family! We would recommend you to anyone and will definitely be back! Grace Hardy

The museum offers interesting insight into the history of St Catharines and the role that the Welland Canal played in its development. The attached Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame is quirky but engaging, at least to someone who as a teenager watched box lacrosse in Victoria. An unexpected bonus that we were able to watch from the viewing platform as the CSL Assiniboia passed through Lock 3. It fit in well with our timed visit, 1 1/2 hours to allow for cleaning between time slots.

Morning Star Mill and Decew Falls are closed temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020. The City of St. Catharines will update this listing when it is open again.
Nothing short of brilliant how the friends of Morningstar Mill have restored it's working to allow those visitors of all ages to have a glimpse into the past, and unlock the history of how life was in the early years, for those living in Decew. Awesome.

Come and view the historic foundation of Decew House. This was Laura Secord's destination when she set out on her celebrated trek from Queenston over the rough terrain of the Niagara Escarpment in June of 1813 to warn the British military of an impending American attack. The foundation of DeCew House has been preserved as a memorial and a park site. Take the time to stroll down the road to see Morningstar Mill. Take a hike and view the mill and the old homestead.
