We have SO much to do and see when you enter via Niagara Falls!
SO much that without knowing what you two are interested in, it is hard to make recommendations. Likewise without knowing how much time you are wanting to spend, how far are you willing to trek!

Here are some of the typical tourism websites that might help you start your planning. I didn't check each out as to their differences, though I suspect that they present much the same info, though perhaps in a different manner that might give you more on one site than the other.

If you are interested in wine/wineries, there are many in the Niagara area that you can tour or just stop by for a visit. Many have places to dine as well. Friends went on a guided bike tour last summer, going from one winery to the other and were quite impressed with their tour. Lots of options in the Falls area for accommodations, from traditional hotel stays of all levels to bed and breakfasts and quaint inns. I don't think you will find any cabins in this area of our province ... though there are lots, if you want to head further afield.

Kindred Spirits in St. Catharines and The Quilting Bee in Fonthill are definitely two quilty stops you will want to include!

If you are wanting to come further into Canada, around Lake Ontario and you are in Toronto, with oh so much more to explore. A big city ... so if you are looking for laid back and quiet, perhaps you are not interested.

Head the other direction from Niagara to follow the shores of Lake Erie for gentler, quieter areas and you'll not be disappointed. And we could send you to many other great spots within our province ... near and far!

At that time of the year, you will find many Fall Fairs, that can make for an interesting visit.


Some things to note ... following Labour Day, many of the tourism spots are either closed, or go to reduced hours, mostly weekends. Some will keep their regular hours til our Thanksgiving (mid-October). So if there are specific destinations that you are wanting, it is best to check into that before you come, in order to plan accordingly and not be disappointed.

Not to worry ... Niagara Falls flows 24/7/365 ... and is truly quite a site, no matter the day of the year. One of my favourites is in the fall, with the autumn colours ablaze. The other time is mid-winter, with the snow and ice effects ... again quite outstanding!

We have a great province to come and explore ... and it really does come to life with all the beautiful autumn colours.

Tell us more ... and I'll gladly help you further, as I am sure other Quilty Ontarians will too!
