I've been wanting to go to a shooting range for a long time, but never had the time. I also wanted…read moreto try a shooting range that lets you use real guns with real bullets, which there aren't too many in the GTA. I came across Silverdale Gun Club through a Wagjag deal and decided to try them out. It was my first time trying something like this, so I had no idea what to expect. Our instructor was Adam, and he was great. He was very nice, gave us clear instructions, was patient and he answered questions we had. You could tell he really enjoys what he does. I also liked that this range was outdoors. I was grouped with a few other people who also had a Wagjag package, which I liked. It made it more fun and interactive. I enjoyed being able to watch others shoot and encourage everyone as a group. We got earplugs (which you definitely need), and we got to shoot four types of guns - handgun, 9mm, rifle and AKS. I was pretty nervous of the recoil, but I had no issues with any of these guns. My favourite was the AKS because the stance we were in with elbows on the table felt more comfortable. It was also cool to aim through the scope! Apparently this is one of the few places that let you shoot with a wide range of guns. It's also open almost every day of the year, except Christmas and New Year's. Super fun experience and definitely recommend if you want try shooting for the first time or even if you just need somewhere to shoot with your own gun.

I would highly recommend going at 10am during the summer time as it can get hot. All the people who worked there were so kind and sweet. We had two tour guides, one in the front, and one that would ride along side of us and would go to whoever needed support. The horses were all well behaved and followed each other without needed too much guidance. For only spending $95 CAD for 1.5 hrs, it was definitely worth it! I will come back soon again for this wonderful experience.

This was my first time and I've never had so much fun doing anything in a long time. They take you through a safety procedure. PROVE and teach you how to make sure a gun isn't loaded. It's to keep a gun "safe" and then they teach you how to hold it and then you go into the range. Again they have officers to make sure you don't blow your hand off. The whole process takes approx 1hr. We went on a tuesday because we dont have gun licenses. It's $15 and just so much fun!!!! I wish it was closer to Toronto...takes a long time to get there (1-2hrs) but def. worth the trip once in a while. Would go back! Staff is GREAT and really fun to hang around ^_^!

Every now and then I get the urge to shoot up some paper targets and a quick Google search told me…read moreto go to Pinecrest on Tuesday for their New Shooter Night where they are open to the public. When a buddy of mine and I came here for the first time, we had second thoughts due to the location and overall aesthetic of the place. However, quick and friendly service got us processed and seated in under 10 minutes and we soon forgot all about those doubts. For $20 cash, picture ID, and an hour (assuming you are in the first group of shooters) you get to shoot 50 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition. Add an hour if you have not completed the club level safety course within the past six months. The club level safety course teaches you how to make the guns safe, the commands you will be given when you're in the range, and smaller things like how to use the sights properly, loading the magazine, and proper shooting stance. As for when you're actually on the range, you load magazines of 5, you shoot off 25 rounds, go down range to replace your target and shoot off the remaining 25. Super simple and some very helpful instructors guide you every step of the way. Tip: New Shooter Night is on Tuesday's 6:30-9PM OR the first 40 people. It is highly recommended you get there ~5-10 minutes early and wait outside for the doors to open as it gets filled up pretty quickly most nights. Remember to bring $20 cash and a piece of ID like your drivers license. There is no ATM inside.

They have both open single and tandem rentals and you probably do t want longer than 2 hours. The paddle is mostly upstream and not my desire when kayaking. 1.5 paddle up and .5 back. Kind of difficult to stay near the edge when the wake from boats causes sideways waves. The boat didn't have much tracking, but it got us to a huge rookery of. Cormorants. Lots of birds active along the waterway and beautiful homes and marinas. Views of USA and Canada for miles. I think the price for a two hour tandem kayak was 100$ in US It was worth the exercise and beauty.

This business used to be called Niagara Kayak Rentals but it is under new ownership and they are…read morenow known as Kayaking Niagara. We found their website during a recent stay in the area and booked a 2PM trip from Queenston Heights, which would take us down the river to Niagara-on-the-Lake. We were told that the trip would take 2-3 hours with moderate effort, and we clocked in at 2hrs 20 mins. Registering and paying couldn't have been easier. Just go onto the Kayaking Niagara site and fill out a few forms. We were met at 2PM by Matteo at the Queen's Royal Park gazebo, which would also be the ending point of the excursion. We loaded into the Kayaking Niagara van shortly afterwards and were driven to the put-in spot 5-6 miles away. During the van ride, Matteo pointed out areas of interest and told us about the area. He was great. When we arrived, he provided our kayak, oars, and life vests; and gave advice on how best to navigate the waterway (e.g. paddling is more difficult close to shore, stay on the Canadian side of the river, etc.). Then he pushed our boats into the water and away we went. The kayaks were sturdy, handled well, and had a waterproof compartment for storage. Since it was both Canada Day and 4th of July weekend, the river was very busy with speedboats and jet skis on both sides of the border, making the water very choppy and harder to paddle through. But it was very pretty and we enjoyed seeing the vegetation and large houses dotting the shoreline. At the end of the trip, we navigated our kayaks back into Queen's Royal Park (across from Fort Niagara) and walked through the Artistry at the Lake tents back to our car. A few thoughts. My wife and I are experienced kayakers but this was a bit more challenging than we anticipated. I chalk this up to the boat traffic on the busy holiday weekend. There were some cool things to see, including the sailboats at Smugglers Cove and the waterfront houses in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Kayaking Niagara also does not set a time limit for patrons to be on the water. This means that if you want to keep paddling after you reach the end point, you are more than welcome to stay on the water. There are other options as well so check their website for details. I'd definitely do this again.

We have been to FunSplash twice to date. Our kids (12 and 14) love it. Both times we've brought a…read morefew extra kids - all around blast for everyone. The first time we purchased a day pass and the kids stayed for almost 5 hours - without coming to shore once. I also participated and really enjoyed it too with a healthy fear of injuring myself - I served as a bowling pin to bendy kids slipping and sliding through the course :-). The second visit, only the 2h pass (peak hours) was available and the kids used every minute of it. We packed a lunch and drinks, blankets for lounging and chilled out for a good portion of the day while the kids enjoy the inflatable course. It's fun to watch them ! We've seen many bring small bbqs and make it a full day. There is a BBQ stand selling food by the change rooms if you'd rather take that route. Tip : If you purchase the Niagara Peninsula Conservation season pass (approx $130 which gives you access to other Niagara Parks) and can make good use out of it, it makes FunSplash more affordable in the long run. If you only plan on going to Binbrook once, park entry is $28 (carload) above the FunSplash access fee ($25 for 2 hours and $30 for all day pass).

The park has a nice paved trail for a walk/run and lots of picnic tables along the shoreline where you can cast off and set up a picnic with your family. While my family settled down to fish, I went for a quick run on their fantastic trail and we all enjoyed our afternoon there thoroughly. The only downside was that there was no public washroom that was open at the time of our visit. There was a facility being used by the YMCA and while there were still some counselors around after the camps let out, they refused to let us in to use the washrooms which I thought was very odd. All in all, the visit to this quiet park was enjoyable and fun for all of us. I look forward to our next fishing outing soon!
