 Farming for Over 100 Years |
3760 Quaker Road Niagara Falls, NY 14067 Canada +1 716 722 2211 http://www.beckerfarms.com |
Operated by the same family since 1894, this popular farm market offers fruit and vegetables grown on their farm, as well as homemade baked goods, ice cream and other products. They even have their own winery, Vizcarra Vineyards, which features fruit wines made from produce grown on the farm. The most popular time to visit the farm is in the fall, when visitors can pick their own apples and pumpkins. There is usually a festival held every weekend during September and October. The farm also has space to cater special events, such as showers and weddings. Group tours by appointment. -Christine Smyczynski Review © 2007, Wcities |

Birds of the lost kingdom |
5651 River Road Niagara Falls, ON L2E 7M7 Canada +1 905 356 8888 / +1 866 994 0090 (Toll free) http://www.niagarafallsaviary.... |
The Niagara Falls Aviary is an indoor free flying aviary and is the world's largest of this kind. The environment created is akin to the birds' natural habitat, which helps in creating and maintaining the up-close and personal interactions that visitors look forward to. Not to mention the little cups of nectars on sale that kids always enjoy. The 500 odd birds of 80 different species are all free flying and the rain forest of 35 foot tall trees and waterfall complete the amazonian experience. Review © 2007, Wcities |
