N	Nurir Rohmah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went here last Tuesday and it was great. It's off season now because the weather is getting colder by days so there were not so many visitors around but it was still amazing to be there. The admission ticket for adult is around 13cad. And it will take you around one hour to finish with the tour. They will start with a movie screening at the beginning and will walk around the fort afterwards. My guide name was Oliver and he explained us many things. The fort was still intact and still in a good shape here and there. We got to see the musket demonstration and there's another young man wearing the American uniform. It's interesting to see the contrast. The kitchen was probably the most fun one. I love how we can see their cooking equipment. And we also got to taste their cookies. There's also an exhibit at the admission center you can check out while waiting for your tour.
M	Mauricio Ramirez on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really interesting visit to the site of the last USA - Canada battle. Good reenactment. I recommend the included guided visit.
I	Ihor Palahnyuk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great historical place to visit to learn about past and Canadian history. The team in the welcoming centre and animators are amazing and very knowledgeable! Amazing experience!
B	Bailey PJ on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic place to visit! We had a great tour done by Travis. The entire staff was very friendly, knowledgeable. Loved the musket demonstration. We learned a lot of new information about the War of 1812 and part Old Fort Erie played and it was nice to be able to do something in Niagara area other than just the usual touristy things around The Falls. I was very happy to share this as a suggestion to friends and family. (And scenery looking out on Lake Erie and Buffalo in the distance was lovely too!)
J	Jolanda Squire on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you like 1812 Ontario history great place to visit! Knowledgeable tour guide, who showed lots of enthusiasm about the fort and it's history. Introduction video is very well done. Friendly staff. Basic concession food available, bought a decent coffee. Clean, modern washrooms, nice indoor information displays! Easy free parking!
L	Lesley Riedstra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Although it was a cloudy day, the weather held off enough for us to take a tour around the fort, the clouds somehow added to the atmosphere. The guides were very knowledgeable and dressed in period clothes. Each room was set up with interesting information and examples of various items from the time. There was also an interesting display about a relevant local archaeological dig. Highlight was the musket fire of course!
D	Dania Hourany on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful way to learn the fascinating history of the heroes of Old Fort Erie. The tour guides are very friendly and very well informed and patient! We loved it ! The tour starts with an informative 15 minute video, then you continue to the guided tour and demonstration of the shooting, and showing of the different rooms and quarters. And at the end you are given time to explore the grounds as you please. Parking is free and right in front of the entrance.
H	Harold Joseph on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We all really enjoyed the Canon firings and Musket shots, make sure you reach before 12.30pm. The guided tours are fantastic and the guides explain the whole battle really well. I encourage everyone to visit this place.
