We know many guests are traveling to join us. If you’re staying near the venue or closer to Hamilton, we’ve handpicked some favorite local spots to help you plan a visit the day before or after the wedding.
If you haven’t seen the falls, the Niagara Falls Lookout is a must-see. It’s the perfect spot for photos and to be amazed by one of the world’s most powerful natural wonders. The decommissioned Niagara power station and tunnel is also highly recommended if you’re interested in learning about 1895 engineering.
Ball’s Falls is a place closer to the venue, located in St. Catherine area. When exploring this hike you might hear the "bird bangers". Don't be alarmed! These are acoustic deterrent to protect ripening grapes in the area from bird predation. This hike is also unique for the overlap of preserved 19th‑century village buildings and two stunning Niagara escarpment waterfalls.

The Gage Park Tropical Greenhouse is one of our favorite places to go! How many turtles and quails can you find ?
Go to the place where the magic happened! This is our favorite coffee shop and where we first met!
This is another great hiking spot we went to when we were McMaster University students.
