  A well conserved piece of Canadian history that captivates the era well and imaginatively. On entering, you are greeted at the gates by a lady in period dress and given directions. A demonstration on using a musket is part of the tour which is very well presented. The fort has interesting buildings that give a flavour of what the soldiers lives were about on a day to day basis. The guided tour is very informative indeed. A very worth while visit indeed!

  I remember coming here on a school trip a long time ago and maybe my attention span is better (which I don't think it is) but I enjoyed the experience so much more this time. The guided tour was fun and interesting with just enough history to keep you interested but not enough to put you to sleep. We enjoyed the musket firing demonstration as well. Surprisingly the big gem was visiting the cookhouse behind the officer's quarters. The chef there was so lively and full of information about what it was like to cook at the time the fort was in use. Maybe they're catering to their foodie crowd or just loves his job, but easily could have had a 30-45 minute presentation of his own...he even had cookies!

  We enjoyed the docent doing the tour and liked the fellow giving the demonstration of the musket. Both were well informed and engaging.

  restored British fort right across the Niagara river from the U.S. A lot of history here. Good exhibits and enthusiastic volunteer staff. Outside of Niagara on the Lake and on a small hill above the river. Looks and feels very much the way I expect it did back in 1812. Worth a visit if you enjoy history and are in the area.

  I've been here many times and always discover something new. The great staff are always friendly and happy to share tidbits of information with you if you have time to talk to them. This site is mostly a recreation. Non-the-less it gives you a great feel for what life would have been like for soldiers in the early nineteenth century. Certainly a must-see.

  We enjoyed the costumed pipers who lent atmosphere to this reconstructed 18th Century British Fort. Interesting buildings and history and worth a short detour from the nearby highway.We were favorably impressed by the musket demonstration by a costumed soldier who knew his musket drill well.

  Had a great time at Fort George learning about the history of the Fort and Niagara on the Lake. Loved the musket shooting and drummers. Great place to take kids they have lots of room to run around. Loved the period costumes and the tours.

  The every dimension of pioneer/fort life is richly detailed here. The summer students, paid staff and volunteers (there are a lot!) contribute to making this an experience for grown-ups AND the kids. Pick a re-enactment weekend, with fife and drum parades, gun firing and re-enactors who REALLY know their stuff. This is one of the best historical Parks that Parks Canada has. And the rest of the Town is very good too.

  The family and I blended in as true Canadians (shhh, we're Americans) complete with maple leaf flags in hand to watch reenactments of battles past, cannon fire, period costumes, and fireworks. Such a fun and friendly crowd, a memory we will never forget!
