When many people travel they like to include animal-related activities in their schedules. Families traveling with children are likely to devote a day to allowing their children to interact with animals as part of the vacation. After all, when you’re traveling with children you’re sometimes obligated to let them choose an activity they enjoy.

Depending on your vacation destination animal themed activities can vary widely. It may be a trip to a zoo in a new city or a tour to see local wildlife in their natural habitat. There are many ways to incorporate an animal encounter into your itinerary and Niagara Falls gives you ample activities to choose from.

So, as you’re planning your visit to Niagara Falls consider these five fun animal activities that will have the whole family happy to add a bit of nature to the trip.

Safari Niagara

Niagara Falls doesn’t have a zoo, per se, but they do have an animal encounter adventure that is popular with people from Ontario and visitors alike. This is the unique, park-like atmosphere of Safari Niagara. With more than 1,000 species of mammals, birds, and reptiles this interactive park has been open since 2002.

Guided tours are included in the price of admission, you can watch the giraffes and hippos enjoying their daily meals, and there is a petting zoo for the younger children. Safari Niagara also features an amphitheater where summer concerts and events are held and you can also book a behind-the-scenes private tour, if you want a truly immersive experience. This is one of Niagara’s top attractions and for good reason.

The Butterfly Conservatory

As part of the Niagara Parks system the Butterfly Conservatory is another great way to incorporate some nature into your visit. This exhibit is climate controlled to simulate the tropical environment that the more than 2,000 butterflies representing 45 species would call home. The butterflies are free to fly and flit about as they drink nectar from the tropical flowers and they may even decide to land on your head or your arm, which is always a delight for children.

The Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls is a great way for children and adults to learn more about these beautiful and very important pollinators that are vital to our worldwide ecosystem. The exhibit also has an emergence window where you might be lucky enough to see a young butterfly leave their chrysalis, take a moment to dry their wings, and fly away to join the others.

Horseback Riding

One of the best ways to experience the great outdoors is on the back of a horse and you can easily include this in your Niagara Falls itinerary. Whether you and your family are experienced riders or simply want to enjoy the area from the saddle there are many options to choose from.

Horseplay Niagara is one of the most popular stables in the area and their signature ride takes place along the shores of Lake Erie. Children must be older than 6 to ride, riders may not exceed 300 pounds, and the minimum number of riders is two. They offer a number of rides to choose from that range in length from one to three or more hours and reservations are recommended. If you’d like to add a horse ride to your trip this is the place to do it.

Marineland Canada

Marineland Canada is a combination amusement park and aquarium and is a great place to spend a day enjoying both the animal exhibits and the multiple rides. You and your family can get up close and personal with animals like beluga whales, sea lions, walruses, dolphins, and other sea mammals and fish. Interactive exhibits let you and your children get close to the animals and in some cases swim with them or feed them.

Then there’s the amusement park. With rides to suit people of all ages and all levels of adventurousness you’ll want to spend the whole day here just to take it all in. Roller coasters, Ferris wheels, kids’ rides, and many more rides are available here as well as numerous restaurants and areas to relax. It’s one of Niagara’s top attractions and draws people from all over the world.

Bird Kingdom

Last, but not least, is the home of Niagara’s feathered friends, the Bird Kingdom. Housed in natural habitats these birds represent species from all over the world, including owls, parrots, cockatoos, lorikeets, conures, and more. In addition to birds the facility also houses reptile and other animals.

The layout of the facility means that you’ll be able to see the animals as you would in the wild. The NIght Jungle allows you to see the owls and bats in the dark when they’re more active. Lorikeet Landing allows you to feed these small but beautiful birds. As a Trip Advisor Hall of Fame member this is definitely a Niagara attraction you don’t want to leave out.

Animal lovers will not be disappointed with the attractions in Niagara Falls. Add one or all of these activities to your itinerary and enjoy the fun.

Among the most unrecognized of Niagara’s attractions — and there are plenty of amazing sights, events, and activities that tourists to the area miss — are the Niagara region wineries. While vineyards throughout Italy, France, and California are known the world-over and visited by millions every year, Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries, many of which have won global awards for taste and innovation, do not enjoy nearly the international acclaim they deserve.

Niagara Falls is for lovers, and a weekend of wine tasting is just another romantic way to enjoy the area. However, wineries are also excellent destinations for big groups, especially bachelor and bachelorette parties. Regardless of whom you’re going with, here are a few unique and exciting ways to experience Niagara’s remarkable wineries on your next Niagara trip.

The Traditional Winery Tours

If you are a winery wiz, you have probably already experienced a few group winery tours. These excursions put a group of wine-minded strangers together on a bus and shuttle them from winery to winery, with organized tours and tastings at designated spots. The Niagara region boasts more than a few of these familiar, traditional winery tours, and you can easily sign up for more than one to fill a week or weekend with wine tasting fun.

There are pros and cons to this winery tour format. When you register for a tour like this, you can be certain you will have time to stop at a few of the best wineries in the region, and there will be knowledgeable experts on hand to explain the history of different vineyards and vintages. Plus, the bus itself serves as your safe transport from place to place — as well as back to your Niagara Falls hotel headquarters.

On the other hand, these traditional tours often lump your group in with 10 or more other tourists, whom you may or may not get along with. Further, you rarely get the option of choosing which wineries to visit in a single tour, which means you might have to register for several tours to reach the wineries you care about, and you’ll likely visit one or two you couldn’t care less for. If these sound like deal breakers, you might consider another option on this list.

Self-Guided Winery Crawl

Of course, you can organize your own winery tour using online information about Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries and your own vehicle to carry you from one to another. This way, you see all the vineyards that excite you and none that don’t, and you can move along at your own pace. Additionally, you are surrounded only by those people you traveled to Niagara with.

Still, there are some downsides to this plan as well. First, by choosing your own winery stops, you might miss out on a hidden gem or never learn some fascinating information about certain vineyards. Second, there is no guarantee that your plan will bear fruit; perhaps your chosen winery is booked up for the day, closed for the season, or otherwise inaccessible. Finally, you must consider safe driving practices: Who in your party is willing to stay sober while so much good wine is passed around? A self-guided trip might save some bucks, but it also might dramatically impact your experience.

Wine Bicycle Tour

If you love the outdoors, enjoy stretching your legs, and can’t get enough fine wine, perhaps a wine bicycle tour is right for you. On these excursions, a tour company will provide a bicycle (as well as appropriate safety gear) and a tour guide to lead you through Niagara’s gorgeous wine country, visiting important wineries on your way. The ride is scenic, taking you through some of Niagara wine country’s most stunning grape fields as well as quaint towns and verdant forests. Plus, the ride tends to help you sober up between tastings, so you can enjoy your full day of wine and outdoor fun with a clear head.

Niagara Wine Class

Wine tasting tours tend to provide information on individual vineyards and wines, with precious little background for wine tasting novices. If you want to delve deep into wine culture before you are let loose on wineries, you might consider signing up for a wine-related course. In the Niagara region, some wineries host classes to educate the public on proper wine tasting, pairing, and crafting techniques, but there are also independent courses taught by wine experts around the valley.

Alternatively, if you find it likely that you’ll leave a few wineries with bottles in hand, you can sign up for a wine cooking course. In Niagara-on-the-Lake, Wine Country Cooking School is dedicated to teaching any level of cook about the delicate art of cooking with and around wine. You’ll have hands-on instruction in building multi-course meals around different styles of wine, so you can leave Niagara with a skill bound to impress friends and family — at least those who didn’t attend the class with you.

For many people, a vacation is a time to let loose. They might abandon their diet, drink more than they usually do, and suspend their exercise program. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this because, after all, vacations are meant to be fun, but for others it’s not quite the way they prefer to spend their vacation.

Niagara Falls not only offers visitors the chance to let their hair down but it’s also extremely easy for health-conscious travellers to maintain their usual routine while still enjoying everything the area has to offer. Additionally, this is a great opportunity to explore new restaurants, get outdoors, and experience Niagara in a very different way.

If you have an upcoming vacation to Niagara Falls these are some great ways you can maintain your healthy lifestyle without sacrificing the enjoyment that a vacation should be all about.

1. Healthy Eats

Niagara Falls has no shortage of restaurants and almost every type of cuisine is represented here. This also includes many options for vegetarians and vegans. Many of the area’s top restaurants have vegetarian or vegan options on their extensive menus but if you want to visit a restaurant that caters specifically to your dietary preferences then you’re in luck.

One of the most popular cuisines for vegans and vegetarians is Indian and there are several Indian restaurants in Niagara Falls. Passage to India and Curry Queen Indian Cuisine are two of the most popular. You’ll also find Mediterranean food at Pita Pit and Sahara, both of which offer delicious meat-free options.

2. Spa Experiences

Treating yourself to a spa experience is something everyone should consider while on vacation but visiting one of Niagara Falls spas can be an entirely different experience. Whether you’re in dire need of an expert massage or want a healthy skin treatment you’ll have no problem finding a spa that suits your needs.

However, if you want something more luxurious consider a visit to the Christienne Fallsview Spa in the Sheraton on the Falls hotel. With a priceless view of the falls and a wide range of services including full body skin treatments, massage, nail treatments, and more this is one experience that you’ll definitely want to add to your itinerary. Visit their website to view their packages and special offers as well.

3. Get Outdoors

Maintaining your exercise schedule is no problem in Niagara Falls. Not only can you keep your FitBit happy by walking all over the town to see the sights, but there are a number of other ways to get some exercise in while you’re here.

Hiking along the river is another way to exercise but it might not feel like it as you explore the many trails. Some of the more popular trails are the Whirlpool Trail and Devil’s Hole Trail. This is a more strenuous hike with many steps and stairs. Experts advise that you should be cautious on this trail as there have been instances where people have fallen into the river and you should always bring water and let someone where you’re going.

4. Go Ride a Bike

Biking is not only a great way to get around the city but you’ll burn calories while you’re at it. Bike rentals are widely available throughout the city and you can choose from a simple cruiser to a more robust mountain bike. Rentals can vary from a day to a week or any time that’s convenient for you.

In addition to biking around the city, you can also get out of town and enjoy the countryside. The Niagara Parkway is a wonderful place to ride and there are numerous restaurants and shops along the way. You can also go on a winery tour by bicycle. As you cycle from winery to winery you can sample the wines and many offer hors d’oeuvres as well to keep your energy up.

5. Make Use of Your Hotel’s Gym

If you prefer to exercise in peace and like to set aside time for your workout routine then your hotel’s gym is the place for you. Almost every hotel in Niagara Falls has some variation of a gym with much of the equipment that you’re familiar with:

• Treadmills
• Stair Steppers
• Free Weights

and more are there for your use, so why not take advantage?

Exercising this way also means that if you’re with your family or a group you can your own time to work out without compromising any schedule you might have. This means you don’t have to sacrifice your exercise schedule and can still join in on all the fun.

Whether you book an appointment at one of the many Niagara Falls spas, rent a bike during your stay, or visit one of Niagara’s veggie-friendly restaurants there are many ways to make your visit a healthy one. So utilize these tips and enjoy your vacation without sacrificing your lifestyle.

Niagara Falls is famous for many things. Of course the famous waterfalls are the top attraction but there is much more going on in this little part of the world. Families visit to enjoy the fun and games their kids love, honeymooners are always going to be a fixture, and Niagara is becoming more popular as a destination for conventions and corporate retreats.

However, one aspect of the Niagara Falls experience might be overlooked and that’s its world-class cuisine. At first glance one might be under the impression that Niagara offers only fast food and chain restaurants but hidden behind the neon signs is a growing community of talented chefs who are dedicated to their craft and to bringing Niagara’s exceptional dining to light.

By utilizing local ingredients whenever possible, creating delightful and innovative menus, and tapping into the vintner community to source fine, local wines these chefs and restaurant owners are putting Niagara on the foodie map. And the best place to find these impressive eateries is in the conveniently located Fallsview area.

Let’s explore!

The Keg Steakhouse and Bar

Steak lovers are in a class of their own and will settle for nothing less than a perfectly cooked and seasoned steak. When exploring the Niagara Falls dining scene The Keg Steakhouse and bar is not to be overlooked. Located in the Embassy Suites Hotel, the Keg not only serves up some of the best steaks in town but it also boasts a stunning view of the falls.

In addition to their beef, a few must-try items on the menu are the escargot with mushrooms and the cheesecake. Of course, they offer all the side items you’d expect with a steak and their waiters are ready to help you choose a wine that pairs perfectly with your meal.

The Rainbow Room

Massimo Capra is one of Canada’s most celebrated Italian chefs and he’s taken that talent to The Rainbow Room in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The menu is a creative blend of traditional Italian favourites and local ingredients that compose dishes that will not only pique your taste buds but also just might make you a repeat customer.

Also with a lovely view of the falls, The Rainbow Room features local and imported wines that the staff can help you decide upon. The chef also hosts regular dining events focusing on specific regions of Italy and the cuisine that originated there. Check their website for these events and plan your trip accordingly.

AG at the Sterling

If you want to experience the true nature of Niagara’s agricultural bounty and dine in an exceptionally luxurious setting then AG at the Sterling is the place for you. As one of the most unique restaurants in the city, Chef Cory Linkson personally oversees the growing of all produce and herbs on his own farm and each item is picked in the morning and lands on your plate that evening.

Each item on the menu is appealing, but some of the standouts are the winter carrot velouté with red curry and coconut milk and Lake Huron whitefish with beets and puree of celery root. As one would expect, the wine list is as elegant as the menu and features a wide selection of local wines. If you can only choose one restaurant in the Niagara Falls dining scene this is the one.

Skylon Tower

For something completely different and quintessentially Niagara Falls the revolving dining room at the Skylon Tower is an experience you won’t soon forget. In addition to the incredible views of the falls as you slowly revolve in a complete circle the menu and the wine list are both strong enough to rival the scenery.

One of the standouts on the starter menu is the duck pastrami with a mustard sauce and you can’t skip the rack of lamb on the dinner menu. Exquisite desserts will also tempt you and wine suggestions accompany each dish on the menu. However, you can always ask you server for suggestions.

Windows by Jamie Kennedy

Situated on the 13th floor of the Sheraton on the Falls hotel Windows by Jamie Kennedy is one of the most celebrated restaurants in Niagara Falls. Another proponent of the farm-to-table movement in the area Jamie Kennedy has created a menu that is simply stunning, created a team of experts to assist him, and the view of the falls is not to be dismissed.

Choosing your meal here is incredibly different as everything is near perfect. However, the Prince Edward Island mussels appetizer is an excellent choice as a starter as is the mac and cheese with chorizo and diver scallops. For your entrée, the mushroom gnocchi with romesco sauce is earthy and comforting and the beer braised Ontario lamb shank will satisfy in ways you never thought possible.

As the Niagara Falls dining scene continues to draw attention from food lovers, critics, and other chefs we can expect to see this trend expand, which is great news for all visitors to Niagara Falls. In the meantime, choose one of these Fallsview area eateries during your next visit and see for yourself what everyone is raving about.
