- ashishbCary, NC137 contributionsWe had a fantastic day at African Lion Safari during our visit to Hamilton, ON! The Safari bus tour was the highlight of our experience, giving us a close look at the animals in their natural habitats. The cruise and mini-train rides were fun additions to the day, and the kids especially enjoyed them.
The shows were also entertaining, with the parrot show being the most engaging of the three. It was interactive and kept the audience involved, while the other shows felt slightly less captivating.
Our only suggestion for improvement would be the food menu—it could offer more variety and quality to match the overall experience. But all in all, it’s a great family-friendly attraction and well worth a visit if you're in the area.Written September 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kawaii40San Diego, CA96 contributionsBeautiful waterfalls. Short walk from the parking lot to the falls. $11 for parking all day. Lots of parking space when we got there. Many reviews here mentioned required reservation. We didn't have a reservation. We went on Saturday. No one was policing around and didn't see a sign about limited parking time. We stayed there for about 2-3 hours. Tiffany falls is also in the same area just several meters away. We walked to Tiffany via Bruce Trails, which is across from Sherman falls entrance. It's a bit hard to see the narrow entrance to Bruce trail. There's an intersection by the Sherman falls entrance. Look straight across towards the wooded/forestry area and you'll see a narrow entrance to Bruce trail. It's a super beautiful trail. It makes the journey to Tiffany Falls more rewarding. Bruce Trail is about 1.5 km walk. There's another 3rd falls nearby called Canterbury Falls but we couldn't find it. Maybe you can find it. Get a map by the parking lot.Written August 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Try2TravelSustainablyHamilton, Canada406 contributionsA great trail for biking or walking. It takes a few hours end to end and at some points you can turn off and find a place to eat or dirnk.Written October 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jennifer F2 contributionsThis is a walk through the Vinemount Swamp area. It is sometimes a trail and other times a boardwalk which can be a bit slick if it has rained. It is flat terrain and in the late summer it is filled with the sounds of crickets, grasshoppers, frogs, and birds. It is easy and pleasant.Written September 17, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- kkunuramBrampton, Canada4 contributionsa great visit. friendly staff, and even better conditions. challenging but fun!
All in all. this was a good day of golfing, (not for me mind you!). The club house staff was great the the greeting, told of us the 90 degree rule right away. the starter was friendly and engaging and was goofing a bit but it was nice to start the day. The course was clean of debris, freshly cut and greens were rolling great! good job guys!Written September 13, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carl AHamilton, Canada30 contributionsquietly nestled into a small part of Churchill Park lies the Friends of the Aviary in Hamilton. although not a huge facility the first thing I noticed is how dedicated the staff is to their birds. It doesn't take long to cover the whole place so we took our time and tried to have a chat with many of the lovely birds with some responding. you see pictures of these animals but rarely come this close so the colours were very impressive. I will be back but next time in the summer so we can get a better look at the surrounding grounds. highly recommended.Written October 31, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dwbcaahamilton1,506 contributionsIts funny how even after living in the same city for over 40 years you can still find new places to explore. I have hiked in that area many many times but never wandered over to the Escarpment Rail Trail. I always knew it was there I just didnt know where it went or how long it would take to walk it.But after some Google Mapping I knew exactly where it went. My wife and I parked off Mohawk Rd there is a free parking lot with plenty of parking. The trail runs right by it. To hike the trail from the parking lot to the Claremount Access takes approximately one hour and 15 minutes by foot. So if your looking for a good 2.5 hrs hike this is the place. There is plenty of shade with lots of tree coverage and if your into running up and down stairs you will walk by two different sets of metal stairs to get your cardio up and running. Plenty of people either walk, run, or ride their bikes up and down this trail. Its a nice gentle slope so you dont feel exhausted walking back up towards your car. Your feet might hurt but your legs should be fine! My wife calculates her steps on her fitbit so for those looking for a huge return on getting your steps that day this walk usually gives her around 18,000 steps. It truly is a beautiful place to go for a walk. One of those hidden gems in the city of Hamilton to explore.Written May 29, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Indah EdlightzOntario, Canada4,526 contributionsHamilton Golf and Country Club with another great success hosting the RBC Open. Although the weather was not cooperating, the course was still manageable to navigate, lots of great spots to view the play, lots of covered areas when it started to drizzle, and tons of opportunities to be very close to the players. Tons to do for younger spectators and nothing beats 13th hole crowd. Tons of fun, great job HGCC.Written June 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- trainfan2000Hamilton, Canada2,535 contributionsThis new park is located just minutes away from one of the busiest streets on Hamilton mountain. The large park was set aside by the city to provide a multi use recreational area in the neighbourhood. It contains two playground areas for kids, a splash pad, tennis courts, football field and soccer pitches. Several walking trails are found in the park, some paved, some not. There is a large pond that is the central feature of the park that has become inhabited by some ducks and geese. There is a change house and washrooms and a fair bit of parking available off West 5th Street.
The only problem that have surfaced are complaints that some people are using motorized dirt bikes on the walking trails which poses a hazard to people who are just out walking. Other than this, it is a perfect park for all people.Written October 16, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Update though: During COVID the parking is closed and no place close by to park legally. There were too many people using parking lot as place to park to go to Websters Falls even though it is noted to be closed online. Annoying that people ruin this and got this placed closed because they were sneaking into the nearby falls.Written June 15, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sheriffCarterVancouver, Canada359 contributionsIt's one of the best farms around this area. The entrance prices are fairly decent in compare to other places, apples prices are a bit on expensive side in compare to supermarkets - but quality is good. And there is some stuff to do with kids like a tractor ride, a trail or a sandbox filled with corn.Written September 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- supertzar666Dunnville, Canada1,698 contributionsWe recently played the 18 hole mini put and we had a good time. It's more like a golf course putting green because it doesn't have the traditional mini put themes but is great for practicing putting. I also tried the driving range and it was very good too. I would definitely go back.Written April 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AntoniaHamilton, Canada1,937 contributionsThis park has a nice circular trail for walking or jogging, that also leads down into Rushdale park that consists of a playground and basketball court. It is like having two parks in one almost. TB McQueston also has a soccer field, playground and parking lot. Overall, I enjoy this park.Written June 24, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
