Taste the Niagara Wine Trail

Watch the Sun Go Down and the Boats Come In
When you visit our wineries and taste all they have to offer, don't forget to pick a bottle and bring it back to the cottage! If your cottage is lake or harbor side, you're all set! If not, there are tables and chairs on The Boardwalk at The Lakeview Village Shoppes. Uncork, unplug, and take in the view over Lake Ontario with your loved one to end a perfect day.

Rent A Lake House
There are many vacation cottages and homes large enough for your entire family. You can even invite extended family for a reunion right on Lake Ontario. Do vacation lodging hunts usually end with the phrase, "it doesn't matter - we'll only be there to sleep"? Not here! Spend less than you would in hotel rooms and treat your family to the charms of a house on the lake!

Take the Kids to the Carousel Park
The Olcott Beach Carousel Park is a lakeside vintage amusement park that offers an affordable day of family fun. The park was restored and is staffed with volunteers, people who donate their time to ensure that all children have access to clean, healthy summer fun. The park keeps it simple, allowing parents to forget about the price tags of over-commercialized corporate amusement parks. The Park has no admission fee and the cost of each ride is one-quarter!

Picnic in Krull Park
Pack up some sandwiches or bring some dogs and burgers to fire up on the grill in Krull Park. There are baseball diamonds, playgrounds, a splash pad, a basketball court, tennis courts, soccer fields, and a beachfront area so you and your family can enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
