I only had an hour to explore Morningstar Mill but I'm glad I made a stop. I just happened to be…read morein Canada the same weekend the mill was running (It only operates about three times a year but is a nice place regardless). It's a small place and guests are able to explore the mill, see the process of grain made into flour, tour the home and barns and there's even a little trail. I saw a number of photographers there also, capturing family portraits. (I believe you have to have permission for this). I'm from the Midwest but had never seen a mill in operation. Never one to miss an experience, I hopped into each building to watch the process, ask questions of the volunteers and even brought a small sack of flour home (they did question me at the airport). I'm not sure if tours are provided, but if asked, the volunteers are eager to explain a few things. This is especially great for families with children who are of the age to understand the milling process and it's even cooler you can take some flour home and make something together. Worth a trip, especially if it's in operation! You could easily spend a couple hours or more exploring. A great Fall family excursion for sure. Morningstar Mill is a small, rural industrial heritage site owned by the City of St. Catharines and operated in partnership with the Friends of Morningstar Mill. It features a working grist mill built in 1872, a turbine shed, a sawmill, a blacksmith and carpentry shop and the historic home of the Morningstar family. The Mill provides a rare glimpse back in time to when moving water was used to mechanically grind grain into flour. Admission is free. Donations are encouraged. Check the website for up to date information on milling and tour schedules. Decew Falls are also nearby, as are many beautiful areas, vineyards and I stayed at Omi's Hause, a gem of a bed and breakfast just a few minutes away!

While visiting Niagara Falls in Winter is not for the faint of heart, its a million times worth it…read morefor the breathtaking scenes. Not only was this attraction affordable at $14. It was lovely, gorgeous, and breathtaking. During winter the area is a ghost town making parking plentiful. We purchased tickets and were guided inside promptly. We were given a brief video history of Niagara Falls before we were herded to the elevators and brought down to the main attraction. In winter just watch your step and go bundled. It was definitely misty and plenty of ice on the floor. But enjoy and take tons of pictures. Would definitely come back!

We came the day after they took down the Hurricane Deck, and while I would have loved to go up that…read morenext tier, the water, wind from the falls was so powerful in the areas that we were able to get to. 1) The poncho they give you here, is a waste of time, but regardless of what poncho you are wearing, you are going to get SOAKED. Shoes, Socks, Legs, SOAKED. 2) We went towards the end of the season, the wood handrails and boarding are all SLIPPERY, walk slow. 3) Did I mention you will get SOAKED? Ok so, first time here, but I had read some reviews and we brought our own Ponchos which were far superior to what they hand out here with your entry ticket. I wore shorts, in the cold weather, because that is just what I do, so my pants did not get wet. I wore socks and shoes that were quick drying, so I only walked around in sloshy shoes for a small time, however you are probably best to just bring a change so that you don't have to walk around in wet shoes at all. It is difficult to image the power of this falls, as my wife said to me here 'I thought it would be bigger" Is that the first time she has said that to me? Maybe not. While the falls itself is not super tall, it is massively wide, and the power that is generated by the water coming over the falls is hard to express, without experiencing it from the decks here at the cave of the winds. Oh yeah, also there is no cave.
