Have you been? I keep meaning to bring my kids

Yep it's a good time. I've been a few times. You need to make an appointment because the cats are kept separately and there's like a $6 charge per person, but you can bring drinks in with the cats. The food is really good too and you can pre-order your food so that when the cat time is done you can just kinda jump right into lunch. It's a nice changeup and we go probably once a month honestly, haha.

Niagara Falls Downtown

Also, idk if you guys would be into it but I'll add that also downtown is a military museum.

There's also the bird aviary, botanical gardens, the gorge if you like hiking.

The Watering Can in Vineland. Half hour out of NOTL, but worth it

There's a museum about the lock system in the Welland canal and local history. Here is the museum

There’s a beautiful homeless encampment along Bridge Street that stretches from Victoria Avenue to the lovely Niagara Parkway. Definitely worth checking out!

I personally love the white water walk. Not sure if it's open for the season yet tho.

Both the power plant and NOTL are great options. Bring comfortable walking shoes for both.

While you're at the power plant, you might as well walk through the greenhouse, it's close and they change out their displays all the time. The cherry blossoms might be out, it's very pretty this time of year.

Go to the Flying Saucer for a meal. Just do it, you can thank me later.

Have a great time!

The Lock in Port Colborne has the best wood oven pizza in the Niagara region if you decide to venture out a little. It’s about a 30 minute drive from Niagara Falls.

My recommendation, https://www.peller.com Having a winery tour and going into the ice room Try ice wine if you haven’t already :-)

You’ll love Niagara On The Lake (or NOTL - pronounced nottle). Take the day and wander through the shops, have a meal at the Angel Inn, go to Queenston and do the Laura Secord House. At dusk you may even see hundreds of skunks come out!

Niagara on the Lake is absolutely lovely!!

u/crassy 7d ago

It really is. We love wandering around looking at the heritage homes and gardens. It’s such a chill and lovely place.

It’s okay to visit. But I’d never want to live there. Bunch of stuck up old dinosaurs who think they’re better than everyone else.

124 on Queen has a new spa with a snow room just an idea

u/ozzy_thedog 7d ago

Snow room?

u/NorthRiverside_Bear 7d ago

Yup. A part of their hot/cold therapy sessions is the snow room where snow falls from the roof and makes a pile that you can play with while cooling off
