- ashishbCary, NC130 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.

It was required to have a staff member guide us through the place, however the gardens and war museum which are included in the ticket are self pacedWritten December 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Allyson NToronto, Canada94 contributionsI visited on the weekend as one of a group of descendants of Canadian Lancaster aircrew who served overseas in World War Two. The museum operates one of only two airworthy Lancasters still in existence (the other is in England) and the sight and sound of the Lancaster on the runway and in the air is one I’ll never forget.
We were guided on this visit by Frank, who is a walking encyclopedia of the aircraft and the crews who built and flew them. Frank is just one of many dedicated volunteers who make this museum a treasure. Everyone we met was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and learning some of the finer details of flying the Lancaster from pilot Leon was a treat. Thank you to Al, Frank and Leon for making sure our group had an amazing visit!
I have visited this museum many times and there is always something new to experience, this time a collection of interactive life-size avatars to help bring the past to life. The museum’s café is a great place to grab a snack and watch the aircraft come and go and the gift shop is excellent. If you haven’t visited the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum yet, do it! It is an absolute gem!Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alicia MMonticello, MN125 contributionsOnce you pay for your tickets to get on the ship you are allowed to go to most places on the ship but not all places are easy to get to. There was staff or educators throughout the ship the day we were there. I don’t know if I would take small children or if you struggle with heights or dizzying effects ad you might not want to use many of the ladders on the ship which are not all for the faint of heart.Written August 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AntoniaHamilton, Canada1,900 contributionsBayfront is a great place to come with friends, couples or family. The scenery is very soothing and appealing to view because it is surrounded by water. I usually come here for exercise in the spring and summer time. It has long paved trails for you to take a walk or jog around. In the summer it also has food trucks. There are washrooms located at this park and a large parking lot to park your car free of charge. I recommend this park for people who live in Hamilton and for people who live out of town and want a change of scenery. This is my favourite park to walk at in Hamilton, it has many wildlife critters for you to see.Written July 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David PDover, UK63 contributionsVisited on a coolish June Monday afternoon. We enjoyed walking through time with the buildings that come from different eras, but sadly no buildings were open to visitors. But we still spent more than two hours there, including some walking on trails outside the village center.Written June 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Try2TravelSustainablyHamilton, Canada406 contributionsOften there is a festival of some kind in the summer. Other times of the year it is good to visit for a walk or quiet afternoon.Written October 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bryce K1 contributionWe wondered if seeing reptiles would be interesting to our grand-kids (3 1/2 and 7) when we took them away for the afternoon from their screens and lego. It was heartening to see that Nature fascinated them. My spouse and I were fondly reminded of own childhoold encounters with nature. We sat in on two presentations by Sierra who was cheerful, energetic and shared good information about the critters she introduced and their species. All the staff we met were polite and helpful. Little Ray seems to operate a pleasant work environment. His staff deserves to be well paid and treated with as much care and respect as his reptiles seem to be.Written December 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- L14RHSalisbury, United Kingdom76 contributionsWe visited the winery on a Saturday night and had a fabulous evening. There was live music and fairly lights along with delicious wine. We sat outside and had a lovely view of the sun setting over the vines. The staff were very friendly, but it was a busy night so service was a little slow at times. However, I would definitely recommend visiting on a summers evening either as a couple or with friends and family.Written July 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AnLil934 contributionsThe old Copps Coliseum is in downtown Hamilton between Main Street East and York Street-Catherine. FirstOntario Centre’s not a very walkable area. The best thing is that it’s just 45 minutes from Toronto or Niagara. Seating 219 or 115 is directly under the box. Seating @16(208-09)/17(107-08) and 19(210-11) is probably cheaper—in the middle where the screens are. It’s accessed by stairs descending from FoodWorks poutine ($10-14) past PizzaPizza & the ATM. They directly face midway seats 55(228-29) and 53(121-22) by the Lounge. The nearest parking, by the bottom of the Centre escalators, is adjacent—under Jackson Square next door (flanked by Tim Horton’s coffee shops)—South-East of York’s one-way on Bay St. The other (W) side of the intersection at York-Bay is a grey Canadian Forces /government building without public parking there nor at the old red-brick Macdonald High School. From the sidewalk, it’s a bit confusing finding FirstOntario Centre (not to be confused with ‘Ontario Place’). The “Ontario Insurance” branding or Box Office sign is your best bet to enter the hockey arena/concert venue. Carry your own water bottle, which can be bought at the Nations Fresh Foods store with min. $30 supermarket receipt /parking validation (& washroom), just inside JacksonSquare’s Bay doorway. For wheelchair access there’s mainly one pay lot: on the other side of York Street (with RBC bank machine & BMO ATM beside Jackson Square’s Sheraton Hotel rear Starbucks /Pita Pit), past Anchor Bar fried pizza. For pickup/group order: 905-527 -7383 or ca208 @mypitapit.ca. Except holidays the ground level accessible door is open at the TekKlinic-Dollarama /food court corridor of Jackson Square. The Tim Horton’s (without washroom) is always open at the other end of the Square below Hamilton City Centre & college too. For Atkins dieters, Subway salad bowls (besides Pita Pit halal) is hidden behind Royal Shawarma. York Street is one way though. If you need to stop while driving East toward Toronto, in reverse, turn left off Bay onto Cannon Street and veer right along the water past Dundurn Castle; it’ll turn into the York Street ramp to access highway 403 that changes names (by highway 407 toll North or 403-Niagara S) to Queen Elizabeth Way E-Gardiner Expressway, toward downtown Toronto. Without the perks, FirstOntario is more conveniently located than one would think in SW Ontario!Written April 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike from Rival TownNiagara Falls, Canada1,142 contributionsNot your most beautiful looking beach, but my finance and I always enjoy walking/roller-blading in this area, especially with the dog. Lots of affordable things to do such as mini-putting, beach volleyball, an average water park etc. The bugs (flies, mosquitoes) can get brutal at times, so bring bug spray!Written February 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sheriffCarterVancouver, Canada359 contributionsGreat little family farm. They have pumpkins and apples, and you can buy a pie made right there which is pretty delicious. Also, the entrance fee is quite low and makes sense unlike other farms. Even though a playground they have on premises is paid separately it's nice to spend some time.Written December 29, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
