I think we can! Check it out and PLEASE toss in a quick reply if you or your family members may be interested Adventure Room (Escape Room) http://adventurerooms.ca/real_life_escape_games/ This I am going to need a FOR SURE count of people of there is interest. it is $23 a head with groups of 14 or more. If we have more than 18 people they suggest a tournement mode for bragging rights. The maximum for anytime is 24 players, If we have more we will have to book 2 time slots, This one is important to get booked if people are interested! Check the website and let me know please. This is about a 10-15 minute drive from the Hotel area Niagara Go Karts!! https://www.gokartsniagara.com/tickets/ We dont NEED to book ahead but it is smarter to as they have over 40 cars they say but if more than 10 people booking there is a discount. This is about a 15 minute drive from the hotel area Hornblower/ Maid Of the Mist Boat Tour https://www.niagaracruises.com/tour-options If there is interest of 20 or more people they do a Group Rate, if not then it is just a go and do type thing. Its about a 20 minute boat ride right down in the river close to the base of the falls. I have been on it and if you have never done it it is a staple tourist thing to do. There are many different packages you can get with a tour behind the falls and everything. May be more of an individual family time thing if not enough interest Casinos There are 2 Casinos in the Niagara area. One right downtown by Clifton hill about a 5 minute walk from the main XI hotel. and the newer one up the hill, 30 minute walk or if i remember correctly they have a shuttle you can get a cheap day pass to go back and forth from the 2 casinos, I will look into it a bit more on my days off. I know both have a fairly cheap and actually not too bad buffet, not lobster and steak, but sustainable food that aint gonna kill ya LOL. Remember though, ALL CASINOS HOTELS BUILDINGS HELL EVEN PHONE BOOTHS ARE SMOKE FREE THIS SIDE OF THE BORDER!!!

Are they friendly to English speaking tourists who only know really basic French? Definately ! In Montréal it's now almost half-half compared to Québec city where it's French everywhere. You will have no problem at all ! They're friendly too, just not as much as in Québec city But, really, if you two go in Montréal, just drive 2 and a half hours more to spend at least 2 days here. It would be a pleasure to give you some spots to not miss. People are even nicer than in Montréal and the city is more beautiful and clean (sorry people from there !! lol) . I could give guys some hotel links to not go for the most expansive ones like the Château Frontenac, even if it's really nice And in Québec city, we're used to tourist and English is not a problem at all either. We're very welcoming ! Edited January 11, 2017 by AthenA AyaqGuyaq 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
