10 Free Things to do in Windsor That You Shouldn't Miss
Many tourists know Windsor for its casino. But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find fascinating history here. Once an important stop on the Underground Railroad, Windsor became an important center of whisky production and, thus, a major smuggling port during Prohibition. (Apparently Al Capone liked his Canadian Club.) In summer, catch the enormous fireworks display at the International Freedom Festival.

My wife and I like to eat early in the evening and we liked Panache. She had a salmon dish which she really liked, and I was happy with the Angus burger. We chatted with the bartender/server and he is a good guy— very professional and accommodating, he knows his business. Food was excellent and we relaxed with wine. Very happy with this choice.

I love that many gifts are locally made, or made by Canadian artists. I bought some small gifts to take as host thank-yous to family in Britain, and they loved them. There were enough small Windsor- and Canadian-themed gifts to fit in my carry on and still be nice - especially when added to local flowers or whatever. Check them out before your next trip overseas!

If you haven't visited Jackson Park in Windsor, Ontario Canada...on the corner of Tecumseh Rd and Ouelette St., then you must visit before Jan 7th. The Park is a must walk thru with loved ones and children...stroll thru the thousands if glittering lights and festive decor. Walk thru the dreamy lit tunnels while walking hand in hand with your loved ones. Also take a stop at the many booths for gifts, hot chocolate and other creative items. Don't forget to take pics and video of this amazing experience. You can have that feeling of Christmas Joy forever. You only have 5 days left to feel like a kid walking in a fantasy world...no time like now to go. See you all at the Park...Jackson Park.

I've been to this park many times over the years and each time I go there I always get some ice cream and stroll around to see everything. I enjoy looking at the flowers, topiaries and the floating water fountain in the Detroit River. I find this park to be peaceful. There were even people there taking family and graduation photos with the river or the flowers/topiaries in the background.

My favourite place in the area. The spectacular trails are accessible to those with walkers and wheelchairs which is uncommon in a lot of other places. I love to go see the deer but do wish people would stop feeding them as it's really not a good thing to be feeding them.
