Must visit to see the fort and French castle . So much history from the French and Indian war to WWI. Stay for the musket demonstration and spectacular views of Lake Ontario .

Best Fort I have seen and I have seen a lot.... If you are going to Niagara Falls, make sure have time to visit here...

Andi

Fantastic time at the Haunted Fortress . I highly recommend it, even if it's aimed at 8 year old comfort level. You learn a lot about the history of the place.

Participated in a Niagara tour group trip and this was one of the stops. Only had an hour here which wasn't enough time. Did get to see a very neat historical gun demo though!

Robert James, Jr.

Awesome place to visit, lots to see and take pictures of.

Most famous for "The Headless Frenchman", killed in a duel over an Iroquois maiden, beheaded and his head thrown into the Niagara River .

Hard Rocker

Take the trail with the stairs. On the way back up, count the stairs. It's a good way to forget that you were crazy for going down them in the first place. - Greg Norman
