- laurelrsNiagara-on-the-Lake, Canada29 contributionsI live on the outskirts of the old town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, so obviously I am a little biased.
Having said that, the old town is stunning. When my husband and I want to "get away" for a couple of hours, we hop in the car, drive 15 minutes and then wander around the streets. We look in shop windows (and sometimes stop to buy), we look at the old houses, we spend time on the small beach overlooking Lake Ontario and Fort Niagara, NY.
The town takes great pride in its landscaping and any time of year is a great time to visit.Written November 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Learned about muskets and even got to lift one - way heavier than I had imagined!
Had an outstanding lecture/discussion in the officers' mess.
If you're at all interested in the history of the War of 1812, visit! It's worth your time.Written November 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can walk for miles! It was a gorgeous day but I had another destination to get to....I HIGHLY recommend this area!Written June 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nancy BOhio132 contributionsThis floral clock is very pretty. It is well maintained with seasonal foilage. It will provide a nice backdrop for a photo opportunityWritten September 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen KPuerto Morelos, Mexico1 contributionThis park has become quite pricey. Parking is now $20 flat rate for 4 or more hours! Washrooms are far away and park is not handicap accessible.
Rental of a shared area in the pavilion with a small charcoal bbq is pricey too.
But- our family (52 of us came this year) had a great time and the kids love the splash pool.Written August 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We walked along the trails and just enjoyed the peaceful view of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario--we could even see the outlines of the Toronto skyscrapers in the horizon.Written July 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Climber134966213801 contributionThe grape pie was AMAZING! We stopped on our way back from Niagara on the Lake and had our own little picnic. I am traveling to Canada in a few weeks (not this area) and want to make sure I have grape pie. Definitely a stop I recommend! Never having had a grape pie (or heard of it), I was skeptical but I can say this was one of the best pies ever!Written September 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sandy36 contributionsDon’t miss this if you’re in Niagara on the Lake. It’s like something from The Waltons with an interesting history and full of authentic pieces from a forerunner of modern day pharmacies. Like being on a movie set and fits in so well with the beautiful town.Written September 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- StephToronto, Canada234 contributionsWalked through the park while geocaching. Beautiful park with lots of space and dedicated parking. There's a playground for kids and lots of well maintained grass.Written August 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julie FGrimsby139 contributionsThe lilacs have bloomed early this year (was there today/May 8th) and there were a few that have already turned brown. Most were in full bloom and absolutely gorgeous! The smell when you got between the rows of bushes was absolutely heavenly. Apparently there are 200 varieties of lilacs here. I am not sure I saw that many but definitely a wide range of colours. I saw mauve, white, light pink, dark pink, purple and burgundy ones! I have never seen so many lilacs in one place in my life! Parking was free and it was so beautiful! Highly recommend a trip here! It's across from the Floral Clock area where there were still cherry blossom trees in bloom and beautiful tulips as well. The Floral Clock was all soil sadly but hopefully they will plant the flowers soon. It's always beautiful in the summer. The lilacs were definitely the highlight. It's too bad they don't stay in bloom long!Written May 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jordan MorningstarBurnsville, MN282 contributionsRyerson Park is a beautiful scenic stop while walking alongside the shores of Lake Ontario. We got to watch sailboats pass by. You feel the wind coming off the lake, so dress warmly! It's a lovely time to slow down and enjoy the view.Written November 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was 4 of us on the ride (couples) and the host was very patient with us as 2 in the group had never rode horses before. The horses were beautiful.
A full 2 hours ride in the woods.
I fully recommend this if in Canada.Written October 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
