Looking for an inexpensive getaway closer to home? Escape into the quiet atmosphere, relaxing scenery, and rich history of Niagara Falls - a fun alternative to the hurricane prone Caribbean.

Stay: Spend quality time with your family at a cozy Bed and Breakfast by Lake Ontario. Niagara-on-the-Lake B&Bs have a historical and serene ambiance unlike hotels in the city.

See: Climb aboard the Maid of the Mist and experience the Falls closer than ever.

Eat: Take in the Falls’ nightly illumination and seasonal fireworks over dinner 775 feet up in the revolving Skylon Tower.

Play: Tour and taste award-winning wines and paired cheeses at local vineyards. Learn about wine production and seize the chance to purchase a local wine you won’t find elsewhere outside the region. Later, experience Mystery on the Lake: an interactive theatrical performance that challenges you to walk around town meeting characters for clues to solve historical mysteries.
