Canada’s Weekend Getaways

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

On top of the list of weekend getaways should be Niagara Falls, located only 130 km’s from downtown Toronto, making it perfect for a weekend getaway without the major expense of flying.    There is plenty of sightseeing to be had in the Niagara Falls with the Falls themselves plus the many attractions in the area.     From the elegant span of the Rainbow Bridge there are panoramic views over the falls.  The bridge itself crosses the gorge between Canada and the United States.   Here, on sunny days, rainbows rise through the spray from the falls.    Check out the Niagara Falls Museum which houses a collection of artefact and photographs that record the attempts of the adventurous individuals to ride the falls.   Some of the crazy attempts were made in a kayak, a barrel, and a diving bell.    On Clifton Hill this street boasts a range of attractions.  My favourite was the Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum featuring a dog with human teeth as just one of its offerings.    Another attraction to take in would be the Maid of the Mist boat trip.  This intrepid vessel gets very close to the foot of the falls.   Raincoats are supplied as passengers can expect to get wet on this thrilling trip.  You’ll find many Cheap Niagara Falls Hotels on the edge of the tourist area of Niagara Falls.

If your located in Edmonton and your done work for the week and looking for a weekend getaway head south to Calgary.   We have plenty of Cheap Edmonton Hotels to check out before catching your flight the next morning.    Once in Calgary visit the Fort Calgary which was built by the North West Mounted Police in 1875 along the banks of the Bow River.  The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, arrived in 1883, and the tiny fort town grew to over 400 residences in a year.   In 1886, a fire destroyed several of the settlement’s key buildings and a new town was built out of the more fire-resistance sandstone.  In 1911 the land was bought by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the fort was levelled.  Pieces of the fort were discovered during an archaeological dig in 1970, and the well-resorted site was opened to the public in 1978.

Today, the reconstructed fort offers an interpretive center, which houses a re-created quartermaster’s store and carpenter’s workshop.  There are also delightful walks along the river.  Costumed guides participate in dramatic re-enactments such as an exciting jailbreak.    Cheap Calgary Hotels has a guide of some of the best rates online with no booking fees.

The first thing to consider is to have comfortable, convenient and good back pack.   Leaving out worries and stress in term of job is very important to enjoy your outdoor activity and feel free against problems and you are ready to face the beauty of nature.  You must bring multi-tool in your back pack like knife, pliers, screwdrivers, compass, flashlight, blanket, magnesium fire starter and first aid kit.  And also don’t forget to bring Binoculars that are not too heavy and expensive as well.  It’s fine to have a small pair of this with a measure of 7X35 or 8X40.  A disposable camera suits nicely in the pack in order to capture the memories shared together.  Therefore, I do prefer you to have Trail Running Shoes for your feet safety puposes in camping and hiking activity.

The St. Louis Zoo

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Our whole family was excited to visit the St. Louis Zoo, especially since it has been rated one of the top zoos in the country! We set our Adt security in Louisiana and started our forty minute drive to the St. Louis Zoo, stopping on the way to grab lunch. When we arrived at the Zoo we realized it was fairly busy, so we would need to park in one of the designated parking lots. They do charge a fee to park in one of the designated lots, but since admission to the St. Louis Zoo is totally free it’s not a big deal. If the Zoo isn’t busy sometimes you can find free parking along the streets or in other parking lots around Forest Park, but this means you may have to walk quite a ways to get to the Zoo entrance. From the moment we walked into the Zoo my kids were amazed! The Living World building houses huge replicas of sea creatures, and my son especially liked the large Great White shark. The Living World building also has several exhibits, face painting, a large food court, and a gift shop on the lower level. We spent nearly 4 hours at the St. Louis Zoo, and I still don’t think we got to see all of the animals! We all loved the Penguin House, the Big Cat Area, and the Snake House. We also really liked the River’s Edge area, where you can find Hippos, Hyenas, and elephants. In addition to the animals the zoo also has many food options, and we enjoyed an excellent funnel cake. Shopping options are also plentiful, there is even a Build-a-Bear workshop right inside the zoo! Our entire family enjoyed our trip to the St. Louis Zoo and we hope to be able to visit again soon!
