Sightseeing

The Dufferin Islands are amazing when they're lit up for the holidays, but they're a magical place to go explore anytime of year!

Hiking

Talk about one of the best hiking spots in Canada...NO BIG DEAL. Just minutes away from my Airbnb, I'm so lucky! Located deep in the Niagara Gorge, stairways lead to 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of rugged paths that wind through this pristine pocket of Carolinian Forest, past prehistoric geological formations, wild flora and fauna. The Niagara Glen overlooks the rapid waters of the Niagara River and the natural phenomenon that is the Niagara River Whirlpool. **PLEASE be sure to hike to your ability. Stay on the trail if you're the type to only hike once every few months consistently or a beginner hiker. Be alert. Be vigilent. Don't go climbing out on big rocks in the middle of the rapids if it's beyond your skill level, and you're prone to hurting yourself when trying to get the perfect "social media moment"!!**

Stunning spot with tons of picture-perfect moments just waiting for you at each bend. Please be sure to be safe, especially when it has recently rained or snowed. This is probably my second favourite spot in the Niagara region to go for a wander!

Probably my 3rd favourite hiking spot in the Niagara region. I have great memories here with a couple very special friends.

Food scene

This is one of the few moments that the less I tell you, the better. Cocktails, food, and a surprising atmosphere. It's my local watering hole when I'm at this Airbnb (Kasa Kazam). A dear friend of mine owns it, and you can walk there in 2 minutes from the house. Don't leave Niagara Falls without checking it out.

Who doesn't like Ice Cream? This place literally uses local fruit and ingredients to make their ice cream, and it's AMAZING.

My favourite restaurant in Niagara. Period. End of discussion. Nothing more needs to be said. No seriously. I'm not defending that position. It's the best. That's it. Don't believe me? Fine. You're the one missing out, just leaves more homemade sicky toffee pudding for me.

Insta-Worthy Places

If you're looking for somewhere to take amazing photos, have an amazing view of the water and lots of local spots to grab a bite to eat, or a drink make sure to check out the Queen's Royal Park Gazebo! Did you know: The gazebo was featured in The Dead Zone, a 1983 David Cronenberg film that starred Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen?!

Probably on my top ten list of spots to grab food, and a drink! The staff is absolutely wonderful, and extremely talented. I also think you should check out the amazing graffiti murals done on the walls near Twenty. When leaving Twenty, head towards Mahtay Café and you'll start seeing it. on your right hand side.
