    I 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.

    Lots of great information. 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.

    This place can be kind of confusing...lots of trails criss-cross...lots of walking trails in the area. You can walk for miles! It was a gorgeous day but I had another destination to get to....I HIGHLY recommend this area!

    This floral clock is very pretty. It is well maintained with seasonal foilage. It will provide a nice backdrop for a photo opportunity

    This 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.

    What a wonderful surprise to walk down King Street and see this beautiful park. 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.

    The 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!

    Don’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.

    Walked 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.

    A short but very informative tour of the Laura Secord House. The tour guide we had really knew her history. Thank you for a nice time.

    The 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!

    Ryerson 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.

    This is the St. Vincent De Paul Church.

    It is a Roman Catholic.

    There were a lot of cemeteries here.

    There are a lot of trees.

    Outside there is a statue of Joseph and Maria and the child.

    There were flowers.

    St. Vincent de Paul Church started at 1835.

    This was a fantastic experience! 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.
