Today I’m going to be talking about what to do at Niagara on the Lake if you’re trying to save money. Something extremely fun and popular to go to is Dufferin Islands. Dufferin Islands is a span of small islands across 10 acres of beautiful wildlife scenery. Here you will be able to catch and release fish, feed birds at their bird feeding stations, and bring a picnic for the whole family! Dufferin Island is also home to the Winter Festival Lights that debut November through January each year!

Luna Island

Luna island is located just north of Goat Island and at the edge Niagara Gorge. Luna island received its name from the lunar rainbow that was often seen from the view of the island.
