For the ultimate bird’s eye view take a helicopter ride over the Falls. Not only is this region famous for the Falls, it’s also known for its theatres, golf courses, shopping and of course the many wineries in the area.

This city does not disappoint – everything from world-class arts and culture, shopping, dining 24/7, entertainment and family fun.
