Mövenpick Marche

Self-serve stations brim with fresh pizza, pasta, soup, and sandwiches.
Mr. Greenjeans

Burgers and hot dogs for the kids, served with fun and flair.
Niagara Falls

While the town itself sends kitsch to new heights, the falls are spectacular – truly a natural wonder and well worth the trip (see Niagara Falls).
Niagara-on-the-Lake

This charming historic town looks much as it did when built in the early to mid-1800s. Beautiful Georgian and Neo-Classical homes and quaint shops reward leisurely exploration. History buffs won’t want to miss the Niagara Historical Museum, with exhibits on the region’s fascinating past. The town is a good base for excursions along the scenic Niagara Parkway and to excellent wineries (see Wineries). In summer, it is home to the Shaw Festival.
North Market

Buy fruits, vegetables, and herbs directly from those who grow them. Organic items and home-baked treats, too.
Old Spaghetti Factory

A perennial favorite, great for groups.
Ontario Place

This family-oriented, summertime amusement park built beside, around, and literally on top of Lake Ontario embraces its waterfront perch with enthusiasm. Water-fun options include giant waterslides and river rides. Visitors looking for more serene activities can paddle around the lagoon in a pedal boat. The Cinesphere IMAX theater, housed in a futuristic Triodetic dome, shows documentary films on subjects ranging from caves to rainforests to auto racing on its six-story screen (see Ontario Place).

This summertime waterfront amusement park is full of fun activities for kids: waterslides, pedal boats, and the inventive Go Zone playground, to name just a few (see Ontario Place).
Ontario Science Centre

No need to reign in the kids at this science-based learning playground. Instead, let them charge through the more than 800 hands-on exhibits encompassing everything from sports to medicine, computers to electricity (see Ontario Science Centre).

Exhibits in this museum are interactive and geared toward youngsters, all in the name of making science education fun. Eleven themed areas cover a diverse range of topics, including Earth’s ecosystems, space, sport, communication, energy, and the human body.
