This place hasn't changed since the early 50's. It's always busy for a reason; great food at really cheap prices. Don't worry about the crowds though, the staff hustles and the guests don't linger. A great start to a busy day.

This is the store at the actual bakery. They have shops in other spots but this is the only one where you can get your bread with the warning of not to close up the bag until the loaf cools off! Their biscotti is to die for. If you can't get to Niagara Falls, you can pick up DiCamillo's at Bloomindales in NYC.

Here is where you safely wrestle with the falls.
You lose but you don't mind.
New since September 2017 - a room with interactive displays and another space with a movie about the transition of the brink from industry to park. These two items are worth the price of the whole attraction.

The trail around Goat Island is great for a morning constitutional or a romantic stroll. Best times are early morning for the views of the sun coming up on the skyline of Niagara Falls, Ontario or sunset for the same reason. It's reminiscent of Central Park for being in the middle of lush nature and seeing an urban landscape in the distance.
