Explore the Old Town and The Many Attractions Our Area Has to Offer
Visitors will find many activities available including winery tours, bicycle tours, rollerblading along the Niagara River, 28 golf courses, tennis, swimming, and horse-drawn carriage rides. Just 20 km (12 miles) away, the region is home to two world-class gaming destinations: the grand Fallsview Casino Resort and the lively Casino Niagara. The Niagara Parkway, which runs alongside the Niagara River for 60 km (35 miles) between the old town of Niagara and Fort Erie, is used by cyclists, joggers, walkers, and motorists alike and is considered by many to be one of the prettiest avenues in Canada. More information is available at the Niagara Parks Commission and the Niagara-on-the-Lake Chamber of Commerce.
Shaw Festival Theatre
Discover the world-class Shaw Festival theatre season, boutique shopping on Queen Street, or our favourite local bistros just a short stroll away. Whether you are looking for a historic tour of Fort George, Fort Mississauga, Old Fort Niagara, or have a quiet afternoon tasting ice wine at a nearby estate, there is always something more to explore right in our backyard.
Don’t miss the chance to see the falls from every angle—soar above the mist with a Niagara Helicopter tour for a breathtaking view, or board the Hornblower boat cruise to feel the thundering power of the Niagara Falls up close. After a day of adventure, you can enjoy some of the region’s finest dining at local favourites like Treadwell Cuisine for farm-to-table excellence, Masaki Sushi for authentic Japanese flavours, or the historic Olde Angel Inn for a classic pub atmosphere. For a meal with a view, the Revolving Dining Room at the Skylon Tower or the Winery Restaurant at Peller Estates offer unforgettable culinary experiences that capture the very best of Niagara and Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Looking for picturesque scenery?
Stretching 51 km (32 miles) along the Niagara River between historic Niagara-on-the-Lake and Fort Erie, the Niagara Parkway is enjoyed by cyclists, joggers, walkers, and drivers alike, and is widely regarded as one of Canada’s most scenic roadways.
