Must See Sights and Landmarks in Burlington Area

"This park is probably where i’ve spent the most time shooting, so many sunsets and sunrises, it’s a great place during the summer to take a stroll and catch some views. If you happen to find yourself in the area on a Wednesday , Hamilton’s very own Jonny Blonde sets up the food truck and has amazing food with an amazing view. But don’t take my word for it here’s a video i created for “Dinner with a view"

"This park on the edge of the city’s escarpment or “Mountain Brow” offers a panoramic view of the entire lower city from east to west and north to Hamilton Harbour. Picnic among rock and wild flower gardens and prairie grasses."

"One of the most famous waterfalls in the Dundas area, the curtain waterfall flows over tiered rock formations with beautiful panoramas. For the best view, visit during fall when the leaves start changing. To get to Webster Falls, park at Christie Lake Conservation Area and take the free shuttle (parking is $10 per vehicle PLUS $5 per passenger)."

"The number 3 waterfall on our list is the second of two waterfalls that makes its home in Dundas’ Spencer’s Gorge. At 72 feet (22 metres) Webster’s Falls is far from the tallest but it is of incredible beauty. The creek meanders and flows over the edge before crashing into Spencer Creek."

"Other noteable waterfalls nearby: Darnley cascade, Borer’s Falls. Nearby trails: Bruce Trail (Some access across private property is restricted). If you’re looking for a great two-for-one, Websters Falls and Tews Falls aren’t too far apart."

"Built in 1933, the Cathedral of Christ King is quite popular amongst the locals. It is decorated with stain glass windows that give the whole place a spiritual incandescence. The marble altar and the organ are two noteworthy features of the interior."

"Frootogo in Waterdown is a favourite simply because of the extensive play yard they have for the kids along with the delicious food options for the adults. Be sure to pick out a pie, eat some delicious soup and biscuits for lunch, pick your own apples and pumpkin!. Cost for the play yard is $3.50 per person."

Keep the kids active and entertained for hours at the floating FunSplash Sports Park with more than 25 inflatable obstacles. Don’t leave without trying the coolest new attractions - Boarder Pass Wakeboarding (like water skiing without a boat) and nearby Treetop Trekking Hamilton, an adventure park with a zip line and aerial games."
