Kid-friendly Caches In The Niagara Falls Area

[J.A.R.S.]

I'm going geocaching with my 10 year old niece and my 6 year old nephew (and their parents) in the Niagara Falls area on Friday.

 

My sweet little nephew trips over his own feet on a regular basis, and of course he runs everywhere instead of walks, like all kids do. It freaks out the adults, especially when we're near cliffs and crevices.

 

So I need to know what caches in the Niagara Falls region would be safe and kid-friendly. I want the kids to have fun and the adults to be able to relax.

Here is a quick list of some caches you can do with kids. I will add a comment after each as well.

 

Powerslave's First

The walk is about 320m and flat, no fear of anything like hills or water.

 

Battle of Chippawa

Easy tour, but hold hands for the final part

 

The Battle of Queenston Heights

Awesome multi, and safe. Plus if you are there before 430 for $1 for kids $2 for adults you can climb Brock's Monument for a great view (235 steps)

 

The Other End of the Trail

The Zodiac Series : Taurus

Both are reachable from Queenston Heights, should tired out the running boy quite well.

 

The Girly Cache

If you are going to visit historic Niagara on the Lake, this is just a short drive (5 min) past there, and great for the 10 year old niece. (DO NOT DO my BLUE BOX 2 - TUESDAY while you are there!)

 

And of course, Niagara Falls Virtual

I haven't done it, but if you are parking in the Falls anyway this can be easily done.

 

Hope it helps, enjoy the trip!
