Old Fort Niagara was a fantastic place to visit while in the Niagara area. It’s one of the prettiest forts we’ve visited and was one of the most well preserved. Not only do you get to see and learn about tons of history, but you get the most beautiful views everywhere you look. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and did a great job reenacting events at the fort. They also have a fabulous museum and gift shop. My favorite art piece is the giant flag on display and the story behind it. I will definitely go back!

The history is palpable! The staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome. It was off season so we basically had the place all to ourselves. Felt like we were in old England with the stone buildings and furniture. Would definitely go back.
