What I’ve heard about the Niagara Falls Motorcycle Rally
I was talking to my neighhbour the other day. He had originally told me he was going to Safari Niagara on Father’s Day. I asked him how the trip was, and he said that he hadn’t gone as he went to the Niagara Falls Motorcycle Rally (he’s got a Harley and loves to ride). I asked him how it was, and these were his thoughts:
- He had originally hear that it would have more than the big rally in Port Dover (I read one estimate of 50,000 bikers). He estimates there were 300-500 bikers (I can’t say how accurate that is). This is surprising given the publicity, and promotion on Facebook and Twitter
- He felt the ride was too short. He’s used to rides that could be 30km-50km. This one was only around 10-20 km. They started at Rapidsview Park (across from Marineland), went up to the roundabout by Queenston Heights, and then ended at Table Rock Place.
- He said there were very few vendors at Rapidsview Park (he commented specifically that there were no t-shirts available), and very little food or drink available.
- He said he wouldn’t go again. I’ve looked at some of the comments on Facebook, and he may be in the minority. It seems that although many people feel there is lots of room for improvement, they still enjoyed themselves. I’m sure my neighbour will go again.
I realize that these are the comments of only one person, but I still thought they were worth sharing.

Our first trip to Safari Niagara (formerly Zooz) this year
As I’ve mentioned before, our family bought Safari Niagara season passes for Christmas. Last Saturday (May 15) was opening day, so off we went. At some point this summer, I’ll write a thorough review, but for now, here are some random thoughts regarding Saturday’s trip:
- The weather was not that great. There is obviously nothing Safari Niagara could do about that, but it still made for a less enjoyable visit.
- With all of the rain that we’ve had over the last week or two, the first quarter of the zoo looks terrible. There are puddles every where, and the moose pen looks like it is a swamp.
- Unfortunately, since the first quarter looks so bad, we were really thinking that we may have wasted our money. However, once we got past that part, we were thrilled.
- I’m sure once the weather improves and the area can be cleaned up, that part of the park will be fine
- I haven’t been to Safari Niagara in around 7 years, and boy, has it grown! The monkeys are great, but the best part was the “Silent Forest”. This is where all of the cats are. The viewing is amazing for the lions, tigers, cougars, and more. You are at a safe distance, but still quite close.
- We had lunch at a picnic table about 20 feet away from the giraffe pen. At one point, a giraffe was eating some grass, and I walked over to where its head was and could have touched it if I wanted. Very cool!
- The water park looks very nice, but of course we’ll have to wait for warmer weather to try it out
In total, we were there for around 3 hours. We ended up having a great time, and definitely think that the cost of the passes will be well worth it. We’re looking forward to going again!
Note: When you arrive at the park, they give you a map that is part of a newsletter for that month. The picture above is the cover of the May map. If you would like to see the whole thing, I’ve uploaded a PDF/scan to share.
