Very cool visit! Worth a stop, lots of interesting schedule activities such as musket demonstrations and other ceremonies.Full of history and a very important part of our history. Plus apparently it's super haunted so if you're into that stuff check out the ghost tours.

It was a wonderful visit. Being from the US, it was fascinating seeing things from the Canadian point of view. The folks there were very informative and answered all our questions. A number of the interns were college students. One was majoring in history and another young man was in medicine (oncology). Another gentleman did a presentation from an American soldier's perspective based on transcripts written for news articles back in the US. He was also an excellent fife player and loved music history.. We spent all day there and would go back again.

This was an absolute joy to visit. Adults will enjoy the history, the kids will enjoy seeing the staff dressed in their historical costumes. Musket demonstration was a lot of fun as well as both the music and cooking demos. The barracks are very well kept and you're free to wander the fort. Chat to the soldiers, very knowledgeable about the Fort's history. Entry fee is around $15. Fun time for kids and adults.

Part of the Heritage Pass Tour...with careful planning you could do all 5 sites. Fort George was our final stop and we needed about 30 more minutes. But it was wonderfully done and needed more than the 30 mins we had left in our day.

Great national historical landmark which served as the principal fortification on the Niagara Peninsula during the War of 1812. There are artifacts displayed inside the fort in officers’ mess.

This was a fun trip, we watched the musket demonstration there's also a demonstration of the army drummers and flutist which was really impressive. The demonstrations are done by reenactment actors all dressed up in army clothing of the 18th century. They gave us lots of information and answered all our questions. They had lots of exhibitions too around the fort. Takes 1 to 2 hours to get around. I would recommend it if you have kids or if you want to learn more history of the area.

We were there in late-June 2022. There's a Parks Canada shelter at the front where you can get your tickets and also some Parks Canada items. We did end up getting some apparel.Overall, it was an educational tour of the historic site and it was interesting to learn more about the history of Canada. It's a big site area with various rooms where you learn more about how people lived in the past.
