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.
