I ma a huge rock hound, crystal nut- not just because my name is Crystal, I've loved picking up shiny rocks since I was a small child. Quartz and mica are two I remember finding often as a child. Here- they had a huge inventory of various raw and polished stones, fossils, animal bones and such. And that was just in the Nature Exchange! The park is wonderful too, plenty of trails to lead you down by the river, wonderful trees, great overlook viewpoints throughout. As part of the Niagra Parks system, they have bike trails too. We stopped here twice, once to explore and once for me to pop back in with my photos and pick out a raw piece of turquoise! A birthday win for me! Shout out to the young lady who talked to me in the morning, she wasn't there when I returned- and I am pretty sure the 2 young men thought I was crazy (I am), but they were all very helpful for this big kid out playing in nature!

I recently got the chance to visit Niagara Falls for the first time and the itinerary I used…read moresuggested I park at lot #2 and visit Terrapin Point first, so that's exactly what I did. It was very easy to get to, parking wasn't more than a few bucks, and I had a lovely time. I didn't go on a tour or anything, I just explored by foot and navigating my way around was a breeze thanks to all of the signage and information everywhere. I visited one of the restrooms near the parking lot and it was rather clean for being a public bathroom in such a busy tourist area. The paths were paved and they had coin operated binoculars to use to get an even closer up view of Horseshoe Falls. While the view isn't as good as when you're on the Canadian side, it's still breathtaking. You're pretty much on top right as the water spills over and you can feel the energy of the water. I stood there in awe for a good 10 minutes enjoying the mist on my skin. It was a hot day so it was much appreciated. The sound is also so soothing. I could totally have picniced in the area and taken a short nap. I definitely suggest paying this spot a visit if you're out exploring.

If you are not up for a walk you can drive here and park at the nearby lot and it is a short walk. It's a beautiful view and no matter where you are on the walkway you will get a great shot of the falls. If you want to just sit and take it in, you can. On a nice warm day, the mist every so often off the falls feels good hitting your face while the sun is baking you. This can be as quick a visit as you want it to be. Or you can just sit hear all day and watch the hoards of tourist coming and going.

Okay, let's be honest. I would not have ever heard of Lakeside Park had it not been for the song on…read moreRush's third album Caress of Steel. I had love the song, and always thought it would be cool to visit it one day. Well that day had finally come. I was in town last year, and thought what a perfect time to make my pilgrimage and see what this Park was all about. About. I was very sad when Neil passed away in 2020, and had heard they had built a pavilion bearing his name so I had to see what that was. I arrived in this little small touristy town and saw all kinds of cool little businesses and places to park and saw the sign up ahead that said Lakeside Park. As I entered into the park it was a very nice area. Well kept plenty of greenery, and it is right next to the water. It was a pretty warm day so we were getting some nice cool breezes. As I looked around I saw the Neil Peart pavilion. I had made it. As I wandered over to it, there were people hanging around inside. Having some get-togethers, little parties, people working, or just hanging out in the shade. Enjoying the cool breezes. I couldn't help but feel a little bit sad, as Neil's music and lyrics had meant so much to me growing up. In fact, he was the one that inspired me to pick up the sticks and learn to play the drums. As I walked around the park and sat on the benches, and just enjoyed the scenery, I could imagine all of the things I had heard about in the song and how cool of a place this must have been back in the day. Even if you're not a fan of Rush, this is a great place just to hang out and have a picnic or just enjoy a nice day out. Bottom line? I will absolutely make this an annual pilgrimage when I am in the Ontario area. It is well worth the short drive, and is a must see for Rush fans.

And if you're wondering why the pavilion is named for a rock drummer, Neil spent all his childhood in Port Dalhousie after his family moved here when he was two years old.

The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail runs through it, which is used for walking, jogging, and bicycling. There is a large parking lot spanning part of the length of the beach. The parking will be quite full when the day has temperature 18C+ and sunny. There are 4 spots for charging electric vehicles and very few disability spots. An insistution is Hutch's on the Beach, which is an extremely popular restaurant for burgers, fish & chips, ice cream, and milk shakes. Expect long line ups during nice weather days. There is no free WiFi. The park is wheelchair accessible. There are no washrooms, but you could try using the restaurant's washrooms.

I was a little disappointed when I went on June 10, 2025 because most of the flowers are gone, and just a lot of greens + leaves and a lot of cactus lol. I was expecting more flowers because this place was called Floral Showhouse. It would give it that the indoor space and outdoor grounds were well-maintained, and the staff at the admission desk/cashier was friendly and welcoming. I agree with one of the Yelpers that this place should not be a stand alone attraction. The parking was $36, and the admission was $8+tax per person. The indoor greenhouses opened to public was limited to 2 rooms, plus an outdoor garden. We were pretty much done viewing in less than an hour. There was a souvenir area, which was the saving grace because we found some pretty unique gifts.
