Reviews of Fort Mississauga and Mississauga Point Lighthouse National Historic Sites (Tourist Attraction)

Aryabarta Mahapatra

Good place for outing

Sonny D'Mello

Boring. Nothing there. Not sure if the government is interested in maaintaining it.

Ian Turenne

Can't visit due to golf course blocking the way

Andrew Impellitteri

A lot less busy than a lot of other attractions in Niagara. Good views of Toronto and plenty of space to walk around and very cool old fort. Good for a picnic on a warm day.

Tony Chisholm

Fort Mississauga is a very unique and beautiful spot and a "must" visit if you are interested in history when you come to Niagara on the Lake. It is unique that it stands in the middle of a golf course and has never been restored. You DO NOT need permission to visit this property and there is a path way leading to it from the corner of Simcoe Streets and Front. As far as I'm concerned it is one of the best kept secrets of parks Canada in the country. I visit it often and the ramparts around it offer a spectacular view of the lake. Parks Canada is in the process of securing the structure from any water damage and in town we all hope it will last another 200 years.

Anas Khalaf

Under construction for several coming years. Do not waste your time and plan a visit.

Samriti Mishra

Great history reminding us of why we are what we are as a nation! Surrounded by a quaint town with shops representing countries from around the world! ????

Globalpaytech Canada

Great views

Laurin Jeffrey

Neat little historical site. Totally unexpected. Overshadowed by Fort George across the bay though. But check it out if you're nearby. I hope they fix it and open it up for people to see inside.

Dave Greene

Interesting history if you're visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake

Andrzej Trzmiel

(Translated) Military curiosity. Unfortunately I was unlucky because it was all in scaffolding. Well, one day you need renovation :) Nice views of the river and fort on the US side (Original) Militarna ciekawostka. Niestety miałem pecha bo cała była w rusztowaniach. No ale kiedyś trzeba remontować :) Ładne widoki na rzekę i fort po stronie USA

Vijay Sekhu

There is nothing much to visit at this place

Anuj Sood

Nothing special. But it doesn't have an entry fee, so it can be visited.

Ben Settimo

Beautiful scenery

Staycation Guru Take Me to Summer (Burlington Beac

Interesting military compound on the water. Okay for a little walk but rather close to a golf course? Fore!

Hemanth Kumar Namburi

Great place for nice scenic views of Lake Ontario.

Alexandru Tudor

Not much happening as it looks like it's being renovated and it's in the middle of a golf course.

William Catterick

A wonderful spot to spend time alone with a loved one. Beautiful view of the lake. A secluded piece of the past, perfect preserved.

George Demos

Fort grounds open but main structre is not. Good views of lake Ontario and Fort Niagara from rampart. Good for a quick walk through golf course.

Elena Morandi-Bonner

A beautiful location!

Brian S

The extra star is for the historic significance. I don't dislike the place but it seemed like it wasn't properly utilised/showcased/renovated. Fine for a highlight during a stroll. Great if you're not used to seeing things older than a couple centuries.

Hamed Dashtpeyma

Nice place for a short walk.

Thomas McCarthy

It's currently being restored by the Canadian government

Nacer GHANEMI

Gagan Kasana

Did not find anything historical about the place and the golf course is always keep policing this place

Christopher Johnson

The only reason I gave this place a low rating, it that facilities do not exist here at all. The buildings & ramparts still exist, but no employees, you can go into the fort (not the buildings, except some rooms in the ramparts) to get to the fort, you have to go across a golf course, if you would like to visit the fort, it may be an idea to get permission first (you may have to wait until there is space on the golf course)

Musheng Wu

No public access.

Aravind Rajesh

Good view from here . Panoramic view mesmerize you for sure. Fort is under renovation it's just a old build nothing much .

Mohammedrizwankhan Pathan

There is nothing exciting to see here.

Jack 1059

Small but Quiet green space sitting on the shore surrounded by a golf course. Worth the short walk.

Benoit Michel Séguin

(Translated) very nice park to eat and watch the lake. (Original) très jolie parc pour manger et regarder le lac.

samgabor100

Historical place and a landmark you like to visit.

Abhorrent Creature

I don't believe in ghosts, but this place is definitely haunted by something. I hope it retains that vibe after the renovations are complete.

Mark Hammar

This was a nice place for a historic look. Not as redone as fort George, and a bit of a walk, but still great to see.

Liant Torres

This place is in a golf course.. Beautiful views. Its under renovation

Tom Skublics

Will be a cool place when renovating reconstruction is complete. Interesting walk there through the golf course.

Isabelle Lamothe

(Translated) I do not recommend it to anyone. The access you have to cross a golf course was super weird and the place is closed. (Original) Je ne le recommande pas à personne. L'accès tu dois traverser un terrain de golf c'était super bizarre et l'endroit est fermé.

Owen Wilding

This is a beautiful gem on North America’s oldest golf course! It is easily accessible and is very beautiful. Highly recommend taking the time to stop here!

Paul Hickman - Urban Ashes

A wonderful hidden gem. I enjoyed the simple quiet nature of the structure. No tours and no fuss. Leaving it to you to discover and imagine history. A bit sad it is surrounded by a golf course though. We were there on New Year's Day so no golfers to worry about.

Caleb Hunt

The fort itself isn't open to the public, but the grounds are well maintained and worth checking out. Beautiful views of Lake Ontario.

Picasso Friend

A “Happy Stumbling” just beautiful, renovations are taking place but the area is still accessible. The wood walk path is just Beautiful, clean, safe and lots of fresh air. Access to the inside was not permitted, but totally worth a gander!

Alex Bruinekool

Mircea Pana

Good potential but currently closed for renovations. Poorly marked path to the Fort cuting through land owned/managed by the golf club.

Tillmann Braun

(Translated) Impressive place (Original) Beeindruckender Ort

Tara

Some neat history to check out. Would be more exciting if you could walk through the tunnels and enter the building in the center. Great view of the water at the top.

Var

Yeaa mississauga! But it's just an old brick Shack.

Glenn Robinson

A piece of Canadian history.

Doors Up Canada

Beautiful star.

Max K

Lots of history in this area, stop here to read some of the plaques and enjoy the trails around this fort. No staff or admission here, the grounds are free to explore as you wish.

Edward Vastag

Additional information about the history of the site with info panels would be great.

Joachim Koch

Attractive location with great learnings.

Jason Goldston

Under renovation and blocked off.

Charlie Zhang

A hidden little gem in Niagara Falls. A small military fort that not maintained but worth a visit to learn about the War of 1812.

Historical Fort and Light house in defense against USA.

Artod ds

Just small building with nice view on the lake

Lina Di Giulio

Beautiful historical trail close to Niagara on the lake eight hole golf course. Located in the Niagara on the lake region.

Calvin Ngan

Brought a picnic mat with a cup of coffee there, looking over the lake, it’s definitely a good spot to chill

mg mg

Hidden gem but absolutely lovely

Lien De Raedemaeker

Het fort itself is not very special, but you have a nice view over the lake

Michael Corey

This hidden gem has recently been restored and now is a must see on any trip to Niagara. The trail that has been added makes this a lovely walk along the lakeshore anytime of year

Kevin Smith

Really nice. Quiet. Not many folks go there.

TCP 034

Nice view and just a short walk off the beaten path.

Amit Walia

Great place for a quite and short walk and for amazing selfies with sun facing you and Lake Ontario as a backdrop.

Amit Mistry

It was a good scenic place to visit .The fort is closed and we can not go inside just the outside view is okay. The beach near buy and golf course is good for scenic pitcures .... photography lovers...????????????????????????????????????????????

Jean-Philippe Proslier

(Translated) The site is closed there is nothing to see here. (Original) Le site est fermé il n'y a rien à voir ici.

Argentina Cureteanu

Nice view!

kapil bhawnani

One of the historical buildings pf Canada. Its a good viewing spot.

Nagaraj Gowda

Good place with beautiful view point..☺

Fred Downes

U der construction at the present.

Pascal Tanguay

(Translated) Very enriching historical visit with cannon fire and characters on the site who reconstruct the history of the time. (Original) Visite historique très enrichissante avec tirs de canons et personnages sur le site qui font la reconstitution de l'histoire de l'époque.

Madeline Anderson-Balmer

Interesting history and great view of the lake. Walk through the golf course.

Realistyazar “Cansu Yildiz Heo”

It is small but if its your way, you can see. It has amazing view.

Oliver Sandoval

Beautiful place to visit and enjoy and amazing view

Nicolas Desjardins

It's being restored but hopefully they will not only restore the building but replace the faded info pannels. This fort seems to have been abandonned over the years. The only building left of the fort is still standing but the rest of the fort is only visible through the info pannels which are old. To get to the fort, you must cut through a golf club which makes it a little weird. You have to wait for golfers to finish their drives or their puts in order to follow etiquette. When you look across the lake you will see Fort Niagara which is on the US side and see once again that the US has just a little more pride when it comes to preserving historic landmarks. Its a good place to walk by if your in the area but I would not stop just for it.

Yadwinder Singh

Great historical place

Elsie Smith

Besieged by elderly angry white male golfers, this important hisorical landmark languishes on the lake. Brick-lined magazines imbedded in the berm make excellent spots for drunken youthful revelry and the occasional human sacrifice.

Kevin Morandi-Bonner

Great views of Fort Niagara and TO

Mario Villano

Amazing!!!

Darrell English

I can't wait for this project to move to its final stage. I hope the reconstruct the fort as it was rather than how it was hoped to be. Historical accuracy is more important than show.

josie trlep

awesome place neat views

Ben Jerue

Can't really get to the site since it's in the middle of the golf course. More importantly, the light house has been taken down!

Ian Gilham

Not much to see but a decent walk from the centre of town

Phil Chao

Located at the Mississauga Fort historical site, this is a must visit to check out the lake. Watch your step as there is a sharp drop off the cliff into the water. It gets very slippery here especially after it rains. Take lots of pictures as there is barely anyone here so you will have privacy. To get here you have to walk through the golf course, but stay on the path otherwise the golfers will complain. If you find yourself in Niagara-on-the-Lake, check this place out.

binbin xue

Historical place

Nikki Brooks

Cool sight. Amazing to see the history of Canada. Shame you can't go inside.

Ryan Attoe

It's an awesome fort that the kids and i both loved. It's great that it's just there to explore. The kids loved running up and down the earthwork hills, and exploring the tunnel and bunkers. I loved it too! I understand why the fort is locked up, but I still wish I could have seen inside.

Brandi Bee

Park on Simcoe Street, then follow the path through the golf course to walk around the old fortification, built from the remnants of the oldest lighthouse on the Great Lakes, as well as rubble from the burned town of Newark (now Niagara-on-the-Lake).

Allex Burger

Nice view but zero infra structure

Keven Jeffery

It was under construction when I walked by. Kind of hard to find.

Tyler Lee

Beautiful fort and park

Jim Horne

Pretty historic

Colin Prouty

Fort is closed but the views are amazing

sayantan saha

This is a hidden gem. On a sunny breezy day , during sunset it is a great place to be in. Great view with a touch of history

Kyle Stockill

Not much ro do here but it was a nice walk through the golf course along the water and had a couple nice look outs

Steven Lamothe

Not too much to see really during their renovations, construction workers occupied most of the attraction. The views are very nice, but you have to walk across a golf course to get there which was a little odd. However if you’re a history lover it’s a nice attraction!

Jamie Watson

Not much to see here but a small fort. Your can't really even go inside, you just view it from the outside. Still if your a history buff it might be worthwhile.

Walter Rivas

This a nice place to go sit, relax, sip a coffee and watch the the boats, the lake, Toronto skyline and the Niagara Fort in the American side. Go when is a sunny day. Bring a folding chair because there are no many benches to sit. Highly recomended.

Dylan Lampshire

Love this little gem

younes achlouj

Nice place whach out for the golf balls

tiggertgif

Didn't even know this was here. Beautiful day to explore.

muhammad shahzad

New walkways are good but bit tight, nice View if you like history

9,999,999 M

Cool place to check out with family to spend the day or a few hours....

joel kennedy

Beauty sunsets with Toronto on the horizon

Zam K

Very old place since 1830

Melody M

Easily accessible. Great location to chill!

Matthew Hegan

Cool place to visit and it's free

M Rashid

Good for visiting if you know a little bit history but a good lake view as well.

YYC Turtle

Old historical site, typical old brick building with no access to it. It is what it is but good view point just behind it.

Rebecca Eaton

Piece of history that you can walk around and observe at one's own pace.

Manpinder Singh Saini

Not much to see expect a view point to see Fort Niagara in the US. Currently Fort Mississauga is under renovation.

David L'Ecuyer

Small but interesting

Mohmed Anees

Was ok... a lot of mosquitoes when we visited, so had to return before we could spend enough time.

Karthik Ram

Awesome place to have a view of downtown Toronto

Gunjan Gupta

Awesome!!

Rajnish Rastogi

One of the best points to enjoy the sunset view.

K R

The views are wonderful but it would have been better if the reconstruction was complete. Not a lot of foot traffic so you can hear the waves.

Mike Forgione

If you are a fan of history great place to check out!

Mark Hemming

It was nice to see a Fort built so long ago that is still standing today. Unfortunately the fort is not accessible to the public to enter. The fort is located in the middle of the oldest golf course in Canada which was opened in 1875. There is a path you can walk to access the fort

Somia Khoso

Loved it

Bernard Lebeau

Will be amazing to visit when removation is done. I hope one day that the renovation brings the fort the way it was with main building that we can visit inside, with addition barrack buildings outside (we see their foot-prints in the ground) and wood pallisade on top of the bern and all around the berm (like we see on one of the image on the exibit).

Jo H

(Translated) You can experience the tranquility of the lakeside, the sound of the breaking waves, and the vastness of Lake Ontario. (Original) 湖畔の静寂と打ち寄せる波の音、オンタリオ湖の広大さとを体感することができます。

anil sharma

There are lots of surrounding places to visit apart from Niagara falls!

S Hehar

Good view points behind this fort, fort itself was locked and falling apart.

Koray Korkmaz

A beautiful historical structure in an 8 hole golf course in Niagara on the Lake. The fort is pretty small and it's not possible to see the interior. A nice place for a short walk. There is an ongoing construction, so it may not be very convenient to visit.

Gary .gough

Historically landmark but under construction at the moment

Ceazar Torralba

Its ok wish they would turn it into a museum or sort not just an abandoned building

CP Spec

Part of our history. Probably the best sunset in Ontario.

Meinhard Mare

Love the rich history and all the ghost stories associated to the fort

Jade Ryan

Highly recommend to wander through the golf course to this gem. In the distance, on a clear day, you can see the skyline of Toronto. It's a very nice side quest while you're in Niagara on the Lake.

Arthur wheatstone

Old fort with some historical value but, not really worth it. Can't go in and lots of rubish around the out skirts of the site on the banks and in the tunnels. I would not recommend bothering given all the other stuff in town. Only redeeming feature is the view of the lake but, you can get similar views from just down the road.

Blue Sapphire

A historical place. With a wonderful view. We went there before sunset, which was truly beautiful. The parking is in the street(paid). One of Must visit place in Niagara region .
