Fort George is well worth a visit. A restored British fort from the early 1800s complete with costumed interpreters. The fort is surrounded by a wooden stockade fence. The fort's original powder magazine is intact while the remainder has been reconstructed, including: the officer's quarters, the barracks, the prison, the kitchen, and workshop. Various demonstrations are offered during the day... more

Very informative. Worth wild seeing & visiting. People were very well versed. more

I sincerely hope I have found a site to express the trill I experienced when I visited Fort George in October 0f 2008. I was quite aware, because of a hand-out and a grounds map, that the original fortifications had been destroyed by American "hot shot." The defensive walls and buildings were made of wood I knew what I saw... more

Very interesting history. Only one building is the original; all other buildings are replicas. Fort Niagara across the river is on the American side and all genuine. Fort George was originally made of wood before being burned to the ground, except for one stone building. Fort Niagara was made of stone. This is where the War of 1812 took place.... more

The price is a little higher than I would've liked but it is a federal site, the government doesn't give much funding and staffing is expensive these days. The buildings were interesting, very accurate. The staff was friendly and helpful and really new what they were talking about (even... more

Fort George was a British fort from the War of 1812 and stands across, and somewhat downriver, from Fort Niagara (on the American side). The fort saw several battles and was taken by the Americans in 1813, before being recaptured 8 months later. There are a number... more

My fiance and I visited this site during a recent trip to NOTL. Our entire trip was FANTASTIC (really...everything!) except for our decision to visit Ft. George. It cost $23 for admission for both of us and we were handed a map and brochure for a self guided tour. It wasn't until were inside the fort that we realized nothing... more

The admission is average and conveniently located near Niagara-on-the-lake. I'm not sure why you need to pay for parking in the lot with a machine--inconvenient. Inside the fort, there are park attendants in period clothing. There was a musket firing demonstration. There was a presentation by an actress in period costume talking about the occupations of the fort. (Very biased... more

We took our children to Fort George in Niagara on the lake. When we where planning our trip to Niagara Falls we didn't even consider this attraction for the kids. Much to our surprise our boys just loved it!!! And it is also much cheaper then alot of the regular Niagara Falls attractions. more
