This Roman Catholic Basilica is built on the highest point in Guelph and gives you a great view of the surrounding area. The architecture is stunning with intricate carvings and two imposing towers on the outside.Inside you'll find a very peaceful space with a very high ceiling and stained glass depicting many religions scenes. I'm not sure if the public is allowed up into the towers but I'm sure the views would be spectacular!

Gorgeous church. 😍When we went there, there was a wedding tho, so we weren't able to go inside and infront of it so we had to stay aside. Luckily, it's beside the Civic Museum and Garden of Grace

One of the most impressive churches I have ever been too. A must visit when visiting Guelph. Got lucky and the organ was being played. Make sure you look up and see the impressive pipes. What a gem.

An iconic landmark of Guelph. Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate is extraordinarily beautiful and the architecture is something to marvel at. Located at the heart of the Royal City, it is hard to miss this majestic building. Attended a friends wedding ceremony here and it was absolutely magical. The pipe organ inside sounds incredible and everything looks truly immaculate.

Beautiful architecture. we did not step in but it is very well maintained and is a cool spot to visit if you are in Guelph.

Basilica of our Lady has been one of the most beautiful cathedrals that I ever seen in Ontario just the history behind it gives off a amazing look and view we last came here in 2021 to check it out during the summer months amazing just amazing!

Magnificent architecture in classic Roma-Catholic Churches, surrounded by gardens on the right and left, as well as Guelph Civic Museum right beside it. Doors open long before the mass starts, so anyone can come in and find their own peaceful moments.

Visited on a rainy sunday. The church is breathtaking inside and out. Lots of parking spaces. Seating capacity is good. Great place for attending mass in Guelph or nearby areas.Apparently, there are supposed to be spires that were removed due to safety concerns. Overall, the church is still breathtaking.

An iconic landmark in the city, and beautifully placed atop the hill overlooking the downtown core. It's a very impressive gothic-style building on the outside but feels more modern on the inside, but is still beautiful

It's a grand beautiful church in a small town, definitely visiting worthy .

A lovely quiet place.Went there couple of times but saw it closely for the first time today.Haven’t visited inside so can’t speak about it.

A beautiful church, grand and imposing. We attended a wonderful organ concert by Ukrainian virtuoso Dariia Lytvishko.

Cathedral is, like, really impressive. You walk out and, boom, there's this big old building staring back at you. The walls are all fancy with carvings and stuff—like, really old-school craftsmanship.You can sit on these old stones and feel like you're in, I dunno, a history book or something.Overall, St. Cecilia's Cathedral's outside is worth a look if you're into old buildings and stuff. It's got that classic church vibe going on, and yeah, it's pretty cool.

I was in Guelph for an unrelated matter and went to visit the Basilica (note I didn't buy actual tickets but only walked in and visited the public areas). It's a beautiful church, nothing to compare to french cathedrals.of course (I'm from France) but very beautiful nonetheless. I was lucky to be there a Thursday afternoon while an organist was playing. It was amazing... I would love to go back to attend an actual organ concert if I get a chance.

Such an incredible piece of classic architectural wonder. From the incredible limestone to the Christian stained glass windows, this place is a sight to behold. Inside the church, its splendor is breath-taking.I was here setting up for a wedding with #blackpinefloral and her gigantic floral arrangements seemed so small when placed near and behind the altar.Beautiful place to be married!Congratulations Alexandra!

Your environment has a great deal on your being. Visit Basilica is a special Divine space where all your senses are affected in the highest good. Beautiful energy. A stunning site to visit.

From ages 3. 7. 12. 14 all were excited and impressed as well as the rest of us adults. Dropped by on Canada Day and was surprised to see the door open. Going in made to read the sign to enjoy looking around and taking photos but also asking us to be respectful by being quiet, removing our hats and not bringing in drinks or food. Fair. The stain glass was a treat as well aa the interior architecture which was impressive as the outside. My 14 year old daughter was in awe. Very nice church indeed. I wanted to break out into verse of Holy Holy Holy lol.It was a beautiful stop and a memorable one which cost us nothing.

I went on a Saturday. The village homes and shops only open on Sunday but there was still plenty to see while walking by the old building and hiking the trails. The old shops and locomotive made for a very picturesque walk. Lots of parking and the washrooms were open and clean. There are 3 trails, each between 1-2km, flat and wide paths. The majority of the trails go through meadows but there are some denser forested patches as well that had some nice fall colours already starting. It's a good spot if you want to do a bit of trails and see the old village as both don't take very much time to do.

This was an amazing place it’s too bad that it’s not open more times than just Sundays and holidays especially in the summer. Either way it was a great experience! The walking trails were awesome and I will be going again!!

I would definitely recommend you to see a very important museum for Canadian history. And the volunteers working there were very helpful. I was honored to know him. We went with my wife and daughter and we liked it very much。It is a small but useful museum. I would like to thank everyone who contributed.

Excellent experience at the Westfield Heritage Village, Maple Syrup tour. Volunteers are the key element to keeping such an educational and fun environment for all of us. The two demonstrations were interesting. We tasted freshly made syrup and bought a few goodies from the sugar shack. Highly recommended.

Westfield Heritage Village is a beautiful way to spend a fall weekend. It should definitely be on everyone's autumn bucket list. Great for families, a first date. We had a lovely time showed up kidless for the Halloween party but had a wonderful spooky time ( we didn't realize there was an event). The staff and volunteers are amazing. Picturesque 🍁🍁 call ahead for parking reservation just in case .

My family and I truly love this place. Over the years we have had many great experiences. From pancake breakfast for maple syrupfest to the fairy forest event. We are hoping to get to the halloween pumpkin festival this year. A truly fun place with an awesome staff. They are very knowledgeable on all the trades and traditions of the past. Even though we have gone there many times, we still always find something new and fun to experience. Well worth the trip. Keep up the good work.

Christina and Sandra were wonderful to work with, throughout the 2-year process of actualizing our wedding day and the challenges that came along. The venue is absolutely stunning, definitely a hidden gem, and I would highly recommend visiting during regular times throughout the year for the history, education, and charm. We will definitely return if we ever plan a vow renewal or anniversary celebration! (Photography by Emerald & Fox Photo)

Had a great family outing for Maple Syrup Time! Stopped in at Ironwood to enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast. Fed a group of 10 for $50. Excellent and friendly staff. This place is a gem.

Great place for a school trip. The interpreters are great, they dress the part and know their stuff. We’ve been here for three end of the year trips. Highly recommended.

One of our favorite places to go for a walk year round. Well maintained trails.

Really nice heritage village! It is very well maintained and the people working there have endless knowledge and are so happy to share it. Easy walk and there is also a bird scavenger hunt.The gift shop is great!! Lots of selection and also cold beverages.. would definitely recommend.

Revisited Westfield after years of wanting to visit again, I went as a child with school and really wanted to bring my kids to see. Loved going through all the old houses and revisiting history. The only downfall was most of the houses weren't open, I remember as a kid sitting in the church and just memorizing how small it was compared to churches nowadays. The house was open but couldn't go upstairs, which was a bit disappointing as I wanted to show my kids how they used to sleep back then. Loved tasting the maple syrup, my kids really enjoyed themselves. They range between the ages of 9-4.We will definitely go back again once my youngest is older.

We went yesterday for March break/Easter event. The volunteers are friendly and helpful. Wagon ride about 8 minutes. The whole ambiance was lovely and informative about Canadian heritage and how they lived. Maple syrup sample was delicious. The trail to sugar shack has facts about maple syrup. Presentations were informative and fun. Also maple syrup process

Great old time village with lots of seasonal activities. Maple syrup time especially good.

This is a must visit place for all history lovers.. Great effort put together by the team to recreate the ambience and atmosphere all around you which will surely take you through a time journey. Amazing story telling and great presentation of the past will make you believe that every bit of it is real and as if they are living the same life like it used to be in the 1900s or 1800's. Enjoy the beauty of nature while walking through the trails and don't forget to taste the original, fresh, hot maple syrup on your way. Restaurant is also there to serve you hot fresh breakfast items. Overall it will definitely going to be a day we'll spend with friends and families.

It's worthwhile to visit this place. You can spend 2-3 hours here depending on how interested you are in aircraft and Canadian aeronautics history. Kids can also have some fun as they get to sit in the co*ckpit of real fighter planes and if you are 12 and above they have a flight simulator as well.

Girlfriend took me here for a visit. It was a great experience overall. It's beautiful and a true staple of real world history. The volunteer guides are also great and provide you with a great deal of knowledge and expertise. The older gentleman, Mr. Alex, in particular was great and really enthusiastic to share his knowledge of the place and the history attached to it. They even let you sit on some of the planes and when the weather is good, you can fly in them.

I haven't been there earlier this year but went yesterday. I have found that they have added some new attractions that is educational to both young and old. There were several planes flying and they had tours to airplanes parked outside with guides that were informative about each plane. There facilities are clean and tidy. I was very impressed when i went as the planes in the hanger were spaced out so people could walk around them and we're not crammed together. I am looking forward to there up coming event this month.

This has been the most amazing experience I’ve ever been to in Canada. Every single person that works there interacted with nothing with positivity and love and care about the place and also educated. I won hundred percent recommend this place but also to bring your kids to teach them.Thank you for an amazing tour and I cannot wait to go back again.

This place is always fun. Lots of classic planes and the staff are friendly and always willing to provide information. We have never done it, but they also offer paid flights on classic aircraft which would be awesome. There is a good selection of classic warplanes and training aircraft. Well curated with lots of info on displays. The Lancaster is so impressive up close.

This is one of the absolute best things to do in Hamilton. It's a fascinating look at the aviation technologies and hardware throughout the RCAF history, and to be able to get a good look and information about the planes.The staff is VERY knowledgeble and also very friendly. You can book flights on some of the historic planes, but we chose not to. Also on dry days there are some other planes outside the building, we missed out as we were visiting during a downpour.A great place to take kids too.

Probably one of my favourite places to visit; I go often alone just cause I’m fascinated. Last time; they had vintage wheels and wings, which was super fun! Definitely recommend checking this place out; there’s so much to see at the museum as well!

Excellent! We were met at the entrance by Mr. Tony Houghton, a volunteer at the Museum who guided us around the Museum for a couple of hours. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The boys, aged 4 and 8, enjoyed his attention to take them on a private tour of numerous planes where they could sit in the co*ckpits; and, he provided them with interesting and fun facts about the planes. We also enjoyed our lunch at the Museum’s Runway Cafe. The Museum is well-kept, the volunteer staff is courteous and the historic planes a must-see! We recommend this as a great place to bring kids of all ages, especially on a rainy day.

Excellent place to visit with all ages. Knowledgeable volunteers answer questions and are a wealth of info on all the planes.The cafe has reasonably priced and tasty lunches.We also visited the gift shop for a souvenir plane for the kids.

A small but beautiful warplane museum with many different types of warplanes from world war 2 and so on. There is outdoor space for bigger planes show as well . Don’t miss to go to the 3 D virtual reality goggles . Some foods and snack are available inside the museum. Overall it’s a nice experience for everyone and family . Annual membership is good option for frequent visitors

It’s a lovely museum. I would say for plane enthusiasts and those interested in the history of Canada’s war efforts, this place is amazing. The staff are doing a great job restoring the old planes and the guides are very knowledgeable. For the average person it’s worth a visit.

This place is next level. It went beyond expectations. Service was so good everyone was so polite and welcoming.It has a great history pilot was so experienced they explained everything in detail.My son enjoyed this place very much he use to point aeroplanes in sky, he was excited to sit in one.Overall we had a great family time together here.In summer we are going for a ride in one of the plains.Enjoy your visit.

The Canadian Warplanes Heritage museum is a fantastic place to go to. Seeing these vintage aircraft on display is amazing. The hangar is full of Canadian military aviation history that everyone should go and see. The staff and volunteers are so friendly and have lots of stories about the history of these aircraft. The hangar is very clean and you can even go for a ride in one of their vintage aircraft.You can jump into the pilot seat of some display aircraft, look at the avionics instruments, learn about aircraft technology, like engines/ ejection seats/ armament, and see how museum staff and volunteers are restoring these vintage aircraft back into an airworthy condition.You may like seeing the beautiful art pinups girls or wacky characters that was painted on the aircraft's nose to boost morale of airmen and airwomen who served in Canada's armed forces.I loved going here and you will too. If you like my reviews, videos or photos let your thumb soar high in the sky.

A truly outstanding area, so unique and rich with history. There is something special about this museum, the volunteers who work here are full with enthusiasm about the planes.This is a fantastic learning experience for all tourists or enthusiasts in the local area. I definitely recommend this place.Big thanks to Rick and the Scottish gentleman (sorry, I didn’t get his name) who educated me on the history on the lancaster plane and many others. Amazing.

Amazing museum, a must visit! And they are extremely sweet and helpful. They give u ana amazing tour and tell h stories of how the planes went through the war and were rebuilt. The cafe too is really nice good portions very wel priced. Lastly you also get to sit in 3 of the planes. It’s a very cool experience! And they have a flight simulator too. Must go with kids.

You will enjoy your time here if you like airplanes and history. You will learn a lot from these airplanes. Some are still air worthy and some are just for display. You can also go up to the co*ckpit of certain airplanes. If you really like to experience flying with these vintage airplanes, you can buy a flight from 20-60 minutes depending on the aircraft. Check their website for details. Don't forget to check their gift shop on your way out.

My son and I visited in June 2023 and absolutely loved it! Great staff and a beautiful collection of aircraft inside and outside. Well stocked gift shop. Going again soon! I'm a ham but nobody was in the radio room, maybe next time!

Nice museum a bit smaller than expected. The gift shop is pretty good, there’s a runway cafe you can eat and if you’re lucky you may get to see planes taking off / landing. The key part of the museum is you get to sit in the co*ckpit of about 3 planes… that’s pretty cool.

What a fantastic experience that’s absolutely worth it! When you walk into the museum, you’re awestruck by the history, sheer size of the planes and the effort that goes into preserving history. The volunteers are so passionate and proud of Canada’s legacy, which made my family’s visit that much more memorable. We visited on a Sunday around 10:30am and we got there just in time to catch the planes taking off and flying around the airport. The tour guide was also quite knowledgeable about the planes outside of the hanger. Will definitely be back!

Support the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum which has a lot to offer. Get up close to various aircraft and see some taking off for a flight. Flights available for purchase. Virtual combat flights available - Maverick for the day. You can host your birthday/retirement event here as an option. If in the Hamilton area, it is worth the visit.

Our kid would love to provide his review on his amazing experience on Saturday , Feb 17 ( over the Family Day Weekend ) at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum .I visited Canadian Warplane Heritage museum during the Family Day weekend in 2024. The place was busy and lots of families were visiting. They had lots of things to do and a ton of planes . The gift shop was near the entrance and was very big . There was quite a few build up airplane models to choose from . I picked an F-119 model. There was an astronaut session followed by autograph line up .The various country flags displayed at this centre denoted the countries participated in receiving training in flying.I came across a model of a plane showcasing how and where it carry’s its missiles on the plane. Also, I got a chance to hop onto a passenger plane which on warmer weathers takes flight. I saw the co*ckpit . It had loads of navigation related set ups . This plane takes a round of Niagara Falls at 35,000 ft height .There was also a giant inflatable planetarium . It took me on a ride to the moon also explains how the craters are formed and every few million years lava arises from inside of the moon .Overall the experience was really good . The only issue was parking was full and we parked in the over flow parking area.The staff were very nice and explained how the planes worked . Kuddos to the team for organizing such an exciting experience .If you are 12 years and above you could also take part - Flyzone at Canadian Warplane Heritage museum . I look forward to this next year as well !!

Recommend this place to anyone flying from the airport that day as gives free entry. A lot of staff walking around who are very passionate to share stories or the aircraft.There was ample parking and a great gift shop

Loved it. My grandfather shot down Luftwaffe Bombers during World War II. It was exhilarating here.My father was born in 1939 with bombs dropping around him a year later causing much destruction and death.We need to think long hard on funding American led wars in Ukraine and the South China Sea. Stopping Global Warming should be where war is shifted to. If the ocean levels keep rising we will be swept away like little ants fighting over ant piles by a flood.They fought and died for freedom to think and create. To save ourselves and make a better humanity.

THE VERY BEST AVIATION MUSEUM IN THE WORLD! Time to arrange your visit! Most museums you see the planes asleep. At airshows you get to see them alive. In the Hamilton Warplane Heritage Museum, not only are the planes alive, but you get to live the experience of being up in the air flying in them. Trust me! There is nothing in the world like it.Book a flight as soon as you can. You will never forget it! I loved it, and I don't normally like flying! But wait, that's not it, while most museums have between 1 and maybe 6 different planes to fly in, the Hamilton Warplane Heritage Museum currently has an incredible 12 different classic WW2 planes to fly in, some of which you can't fly in anywhere else in the world!!!If you just want to visit the museum, you will get to see all these planes up close and personal, as well as taking off and flying overhead! All for the price of a regular admission ticket. Wait until you hear the Lancaster and the Firefly! There is even a restoration section in the museum where you can watch a plane being restored live! Upstairs there are very realistic flight simulators where you can take on other museum visitors in a great aerial battle.We were there for 2 weeks and can only say that every single person in the museum was so incredibly friendly and passionate. Put it this way, we left with a much bigger family than when we arrived. Marsha, you are the best! Dave, super big thanks for taking the time (even when we were delaying you from meeting your family), and my Stearman pilot Liam, for being such a great pilot when I was super nervous about going up in such a small plane, and, of course, to all of you there that I don't have time to mention.If you want to visit a great museum, then what are you waiting for? The Hamilton Warplane Heritage Museum is the best by far.

I recently visited the Canadian Heritage Warplane Museum, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were immersed in the rich history of Canada's aviation contributions during WWII. The highlight of the visit was definitely having a tour guide. Their passionate storytelling brought the planes to life and moved us emotionally with tales of bravery and sacrifice. Learning about the restoration efforts behind each plane added another layer of appreciation for the museum's dedication to preserving history. Without a doubt, this museum is a must-see for anyone interested in aviation or WWII history. Highly recommended!

It's always fun visiting the Warplane Heritage Museum on a rainy day. They have loads of aircraft used by the Canadian military from World War II and later. If you're lucky, you can see the engineers working on the aircraft, you can walk around the hangar, step aboard a few of the planes, and in the spring to autumn months even pay for a flight on one of the classic aircraft. They have a cafe onsite if you're hungry, and also flight simulators if you are interested. Great for young children.

I visited this museum with my 20 month old who's into planes. He loved watching them.And I personally loved learning a lot about Canadian planes. It's a fascinating place with friendly staff.

We went with a group of 30 seniors. We had called ahead, so we had 3 tour guides. Wonderful tour guides, highly recommended to add to your experience of the museum. We have seen the Lancaster bombers fly overhead, now we were able to see how massive they are! Take your kids and grandkids to learn about the sacrifice many young men made for our freedoms. We were gratified to see a display about Operation Manna where food was dropped into the Netherlands after the hunger winter of 1944.Thank you to your amazing volunteers!

My scout group spent the night during the museum’s Night-Op event and had a blast. Well restored and maintained war planes; knowledgeable and passionate volunteers and staff made the visit fun and educational. Plenty of free parking.

A very good place to learn about the history of planes.Kids will love itA nice place to spend some quality time with family

Great place to go with family, lots of planes, parts. Lots of interaction. Also besides airplanes you can se staff which explains everything and assists you.Duration around 1-1,5 hours

It's quite fun for everyone. Kids really enjoyed it, and so did I, but kids need more interactive stuff for kids to do and be more interested and aware of the history of these beautiful planes and the magnificent people and what this country has done for the people. also more information about all the planes, like guides telling people about what aircraft they are admiring and information about it. I found that alot of staff were just standing around or sitting around talking to each other and not actually doing anything like answering questions.

Such a fun and informative museum. This Museum featuring dozens of Canadian military planes, plus aviation exhibits & flight simulators.The planes are beautifully restored. The exhibits are excellent, so much history, and so many great personal stories. A good experience for any age. Every single person that works there, interacted with nothing with positivity and love and care about the place and also educated.

Highly recommend visiting. Seeing the planes up close is a great experience. Plus, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic place. On holiday from the UK it was great to drop in and see the other flying Lancaster again. Personal thanks for Brant for the tour!

I was stunned to see the actual warplanes in the museum. We were team of 10. Special thanks to our genius tour guide "NIKITA". He was awesome throughout the visit. He explained everything very well and even answered our questions. During our visit, he never seemed to be tired and was very eager to show us everything about almost all the war planes. If I were the owner, I would have given him raise. Keep on saying same things is sometimes annoying, but it seemed that he was enjoying his job and guided us the way like a professor. I really appreciate him and whole team of the museum.

Big place with lots of planes to look at. They work on the planes right there so you can watch. A lot of the planes still fly. Wonderful displays and hands on activities. The simulators are fun to try. The cafe closes an hour before the museum, so if you want food, get it sooner than later. Speaking of the food, the buffalo chicken and chicken bacon ranch wraps ere amazing. The fries were crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Very nice meal. One combo is enough for two moderate eaters.Friendly and helpful staff are located all around the building.

What an incredible piece of history! Filled with accurate artifacts and furniture from the 1800s, the once largest house in Canada is sure to be a History-Loving-Tourists dream stop. Very affordable hour long guided tours with tour guides who have immense knowledge for even the toughest of history questions.Dozens of rooms to visit and endless sites to see. Be sure to go take a peek at the Kitchen Garden in the back as well, where they still garden with time period accuracy.A wonderful place to stop!

Awesome place to visit in both summer and winter. There are multiple hour long tours running all day. The house is beautiful, full of history and when you get to the servant quarters they give you a small treat to have (short bread). Lovely gardens and a military museum which is great for children to have fun in their discovery room. The gift shop is excellent with local goods for all types of people.

This is an interesting place to visit. There are so many rooms to see and history to think about.The only reason I'm giving it only 4 stars is because the group is pretty big for the size of most of the rooms. For us, we had this group of 5 who thought it was their own personal tour. So they would take their time looking at the rooms and taking pictures while the rest of us would have to wait. Then the tour guide would start explaining the room before everyone was in.I would definitely recommend visiting.

Stopped by with a group while visiting Hamilton. Totally worth visiting if you have a couple of hours spare. We did the guided tour with Mike and it was great. His knowledge was very good and he kept everyone engaged. You also get free entry into the war museum but we missed it because it closes at 4pm and we got distracted with the kitchen garden.

If you live nearby Hamilton, this is such a nice and interesting stop. You will need just to go to the Museum, around 1 hour and half.When you park, go directly to the Gift House and from there, they will check you in and you will start the tour at your arranged time.Our Tour Guide, Sapphire, was sooooo cheerful, knowledgeable and passionate that made our experience a great one.I visited with my elderly mother and I was delighted to see that there were enough chairs to seat between rooms. Be aware, that there are a couple of stairs that might be uncomfortable for an elderly person but I think this doesn’t mean it will disrupt your experience of the tour.Great experience in this “mini- Casa Loma” 😎You can also access for free the military museum.

Their guided tour is amazing. It's every 20 minutes or so. The cute gift shop has water fountains and washrooms (for all) which are very much needed in hot days in the summer.

Dundurn Castle is so worth the visit (and only about $15/person)!The tour lasts about 1 hour.Parking is free.You'll have to book tickets online — but you might also be able to walk in and book in person (if it's not a busy day). You can also see (online) how many others have already booked for each tour guide sessions.We went at 2pm on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy. Parking was easy.Our tour guide (Michael) was excellent!When we went, they also had a "cook" that gave us small shortbread squares.The castle itself feels like a big, old mansion — rather than a "castle". But it's still fascinating.

Absolutely amazing experience with a tour guide booked in advance, we're able to travel back in those times when Hamilton just started to emerge and establish as a newly built community. Having a tour guide at this place is absolutely necessary as you're going to learn a lot of facts and history, as well as all the questions answered. Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to provide the best experience.

Well worth the time effort drive and cost. Cameron showed us around the magnificent castle and he was dressed in clothes of the 1830s. The Castle is in excellent condition inside and out. A fine lady was dressed in the clothes of the same period cooking some excellent food of this period in history in the basem*nt, which we were allowed to sample. A very important place that every Canadian and American needs to visit.

Dundurn Castle was a fantastic place to visit. You do have to pay for admittance and can have a large tour group, I just had three people in my group. We did the tour and saw every aspect of the castle/mansion. History buffs would enjoy this and it's just a fun thing to do during a free day on the weekend.

Great place for history lover to visit.You would understand how things worked back then and technically it was built before Canada became a country officially so it will give you a different perspective about life back then.Overall a great historical site and tour guide was really helpful.

Lots of history! Take a walk into the past and learn about this historic relic through the evolution of Canada. Well preserved, clean and original, I felt transported into the past. This is a guided tour but You get to tour the kitchen garden and military museum for free by yourself. The park is a beautiful place to picnic with family

We had the amazing opportunity of shooting some pictures for a wedding here. The castle’s neoclassical architecture and layout was absolutely beautiful and made for some stunning photos which the couple were pleased with. Would definitely recommend shooting here as a photographer for any wedding or engagement photos, it’s well worth the drive even if you live an hour or 2 out.

I visited here yesterday, I haven't been here since I was a kid in school. The tour I went on was great, the young woman guiding the tour was very informative, and answered everyone's questions. All the rooms were very nice, and displayed like they were frozen in time. I learned alot of new things about the history of the Castle, and the family associated with it. All the staff here were very friendly, and accommodating. I would definitely recommend going here to learn some hamilton history, and it's a great tour.

Great experience, and I definitely remember visiting when in Hamilton.Only guided tours are allowed, so you can't go into the Castle on your own. But worth it. The tour takes about an hour and 20 mins. Very fun. We had a wonderful guide.The Castle has an interesting history, and lots of character. Our group was small, which I learned later we were lucky to have. Our friends had 12 in their group, and they said it was too crowded. We had 8, including 3 kids. Perfect size.I recommend checking if the kitchen is open, because it generally is and you get to taste some yummy things prepared in the Castle kitchen from old recipes.We all enjoyed the tour. I honestly recommend it.

Great day trip for family. Affordable tour that includes a kitchen demo. Staff are in period attire . Military museum and interesting kitchen garden that lets you smell and taste some fruits and herbs. Kids had fun playing in the military room and trying military clothes on the first floor. Great location for photoshoots. Saw some doing engagement shoots.

If you are visiting Hamilton, you should add the tour of Dundurn castle to your itinerary. It was easy booking the tour online with different time slots available.When you get to the castle, you can pick up your ticket inside the gift shop and meet your guide there too. The inside of the castle is well preserved in that time period and it gives you a good sense of how life was back in the 1800s if you were as wealthy as the MacNabs.

We stopped here on our travels while in Canada. The place is absolutely beautiful. Can not post all the pictures I took. It would take away the fun of someone else enjoying the place.

Wow! We went for a tour at Christmas and it was lovely to see it decorated. Much nicer than some of the estates I've toured in England. The basem*nt was very impressive and the guide was great. Great gift shop with local crafts. Weird hours but worth making it work - give yourself atleast two hours. Will go back in summer to enjoy the grounds and garden.

We did not enter the castle as it was late. The grounds were steeped in history and were breathtaking. The huge expanse of the sky, the lake down below, the rolling grasses, all made for a picturesque place to spend a day. We will surely visit again to explore the castle.

This place is absolutely gorgeous! Perfect for a day picnic in summers, watching the season change in fall and winters too. Perfect spot for clicking memorable pictures, weddings and even first dates. It's a popular location for film shoots, particularly hallmark movies. This place has my heart.

Great History and brilliant architecture. During Christmas time the Castle is even grander. We went on the first day of Victorian Christmas in the month of November when it is a free tour. Rest of the times it's a paid tour.

Highly recommend for photoshoots. It is a huge park with the castle there and also has a small walkway with cute wooden stairs. Perfect for a picnic. Free parking too, it’s a huge lot

I’ve been here a handful of times and did the tour of the castle. I had such a great time, the castle is beautiful inside and now I need to go again since they are done with renovating one of the main rooms. The area around is also very nice, even for a picnic and a nice trail walk.

A beautiful place, went here after hours just to hike the Dumdurn park and castle loop. Just under 3k and took about 30 minutes. The outside of the castle and surrounding building were beautiful.

Pretty cool place to tour. Not sure it is a "castle", more like McNabb's Mansion, but so be it. Fascinating to see how the wealthy lived so far back, almost 200 years now. Big place, so many rooms, nothing terribly large. Great staff, the guides really know their stuff and make it easy to understand and see how people would have lived. Fascinating family, didn't know that he was a pre-confederation equivalent of Prime Minister, and his daughter is an ancestor of Queen Camilla. Stuff you don't learn in school!

Really impressive on the tour guide and the costumed staff gives a vivid picture of the world where a well-known family lived in 19 centuries. You may easily find historical traces of those modern housing facilities we use today such as toilets, bath tubs and even cabling system for internal communication.

Wow.What a tremendous learning experience it is to take a guided tour of the inside of Dundurn Castle! An amazing glimpse into what life was like (for those of wealth and privilege) nearly two hundred years ago.Our guide, Frank and his colleague Julia, looking after the kitchen, were so knowledgeable and informative!If you have a Hamilton Public Library card, admission to Dundurn is FREE (not just Dundurn, but lots of other Hamilton museums - get a library card - it's free too)!We had just missed the Christmas decorations - from other reviews, this is an extra special time to tour, so we'll definitely be back!Admission to the Hamilton Military museum (located a short walk across the grounds) is included with tickets to Dundurn. Online tickets are easy to arrange whether you are paying or getting free tickets with your library card (you need to show your library card when you come for your tour).Highly recommended!Visited January 13, 2024Cynthia and I.

Went for the tour today and it was fun and very cool to see how they lived back then and seeing all the old furniture and pictures and stuff. It was great.Here are some photos from inside.

Love to go there everyday on summers even someyimes in winter for a walk.City added perfect new rides last year for the kids. Splash for kids in summers.Great spot for picnic in summers and for out door kids parties.Tube slides in winters are icing on the cake!Fireworks on some of the static holidays.

Highly recommend going in for skiing and tube snow slide experience.Tried this fun activity for the first time. Amazing experience!! Staff was friendly and quick. Short waiting and well organized. Awesome environment.There is a café on site where you can buy hot chocolate and some snacks, with both indoor and outdoor seating options, so that's a nice option to warm up if it's especially cold out.Free marshmallow and hot chocolate during Family day.Staff is super friendly and experienced!

Great park with lots to do with kids. Good amount of picnic tables. A little pricey for carousel train and petting zoo but seeing as everything else is free I can understand the price point. $40 for 8 tickets. Both train and carousel take 1 ticket each ride. Ice cream truck sell $6.50 and up for most things. We brought some snacks and drinks from home so highly recommend this to save some money from concessions. Overall kids happy and willdefinitely be back

It's a magnificent park and so lively in summers. It has a splash pad and various rides for kids. Carousal, train and gives all picnic feel .Very well connected to public transport and it's a go to place for all ages. There is a small pond where I have also seen people boating. Overall it's a good place where you can have a good one day picnic and on weekends you will also find ice cream trucks. Washrooms are a bit unclean , rest all things I found good .

Very beautiful, very tranquil, nice play area and splash pad for the kids. Beautiful lawn for picnic, seating area. A duck pond and beautiful garden. One of my favorite parks to visit. Absolutely love it! Wedding chapel and petting zoo.

We celebrated my first Canada Day at Chinguacousy Park, and it was an unforgettable experience. The park had an amazing vibe, full of joy and celebration. The atmosphere was vibrant, with lots of activities and a great sense of community. It was a fantastic place to mark such a special day!

A large and very beautiful park great for having a picnic and parties with family and friends. Play areas are great for kids of all ages. It also has a splash pad and a train ride for kids. The trail is also very beautiful perfect for a walk or cycling. Kids can enjoy riding bikes or scooties on the trails as well. It also has a nice pond and some benches nearby to sit and enjoy the beautiful views. Entry and parking is free and has ample parking space. Overall it is a great place to spend a day in the outdoor with your friends and family.

I visited here last weekend with my daughters and their mother. We all had an amazing time. There is so much to do! A really nice park for the kids to play on, a small park for the little ones and a zipline! A fairly good sized splash pad for when it gets hot out and you want to cool down. You can go paddle boating on the pond for $10 for half an hour or play some mini golf for $2 a person! There's a wading pool as well and a greenhouse to look at some plants. There is also small petting zoo and pony rides as well and a Mary Go Round but the tickets are a little too expensive... $40 for 8 tickets. Not worth the 2 minute ride. You can also visit here in the winter to go skating and tubing down the massive hill on the property as well! They do sell food at a very reasonable price if you get hungry! Overall this place is amazing for friends and families to visit for a couple of hours or for a day for a picnic and just to get together and make some memories!

Chinguacousy Park is a wonderful destination for families all year round! Whether it's enjoying the peaceful atmosphere during a leisurely stroll or engaging in outdoor activities with the kids, this park offers something for everyone. From picnics in the summer to skating in the winter, it's a fantastic place to connect with nature and make lasting memories.

Perfect place for families with kids to chill out and have some fun! Less busy in the mornings. Pony rides and the petting zoo are a big win for the kids. You can rent scooters inside the park for $5. Pony rides are $4 and entry into the petting zoo is $2. Refreshments are reasonably priced too. Paddle boating is $10 for a boat for 30 mins. Overall a must visit!!

I would love to give a 3.9 rating to the park. It is a nice place to hang out with family and friends. The best part is that it is spacious so one can have a picnic with family and friends, for children there are distractions like swings, fountains and little zip lining. For winters they have a small area for skiing. A place to enjoy peace and nature time to time.

My 3 year old loves this park so much! The park has huge playgrounds and splash area, as well as petting zoo and pony rides! The pony rides is around $4 and it’s a good price for young children to enjoy the experience. I saw one kid was too scared to ride on the pony, the staff was able to refund the ticket which is very nice. And also you can buy food there such as chicken fingers, pizza and drinks. We will definitely come back again!

February 2024 5*Enjoy outdoor if weather is good.August 2023 5*I am regular visitor to Chinguacousy Park and it is the best place to visit with kids in all seasons..Winter- Enjoy tubing and slideSpring- Enjoy outdoor activitiesSummer- Best picnic spot with water activitiesFall- Enjoy coloursThere are lots of activities for kids. There is slides and outdoor activities for all age kids. There is mini outdoor animal areas but it opens only in summer.There is also carnival merry go round but it is not open right now. There is sufficient free parking space but you may face issue during peak time. The place is fully accessible so everyone in the family can join.

Really very nice park to visit in core Brampton. Very big park where u see animals and horses. You can even ride electric scooter which is paid but worth to give a shoot. In winter they also have snow tubing and skies. There also a play ground for skating.

I'm ashamed 😞 to say that I've lived in Brampton for many years and this is the first time I've actually gone to this park. What a great experience myself and my husband had, and it's not even summer yet. We had a nice walk on a beautiful day and saw numerous water fowl hanging around the lake. And it's baby time! So we were able to see some of the first goslings of the season! What a nice rebooting experience and I'm going to make it a point to go back and see other attractions they have to offer.

Beautiful park and so much to do especially for kids!Even for a stroll it's simply lovely.$6.00 for 6-8 mins of train ride which is decent but they did charge for a year old as well.Ample space for picnics and seems like they have so much more to offer even in winter.Definitely going to visit again and again!

It was super spacious and super nice to walk around. Nothing much around except for playground and pond. Lovely stroll tho on a day off

Chinguacousy Park is a wonderful place for families to enjoy. It comes alive in holiday times like Canada Day. My kids go to camp there in summers.When there nothing going on there is still lots to do and enjoy like kids splash park and play areas. Also a small animal area to view. You have mini golf, kids train and a beautiful flowered park area to peacefully enjoy. There is a water paddle boat area also.Many more things I have missed to name also. We are lucky to have this park near where we live.

It's an all in one park. They have a zip line for kids, big slides with built-in rope climbers, swings, splash pad, petting zoo, carousel, picnics, and barbecue areas. Older kids can even rent electric scooters available there. For the carousel, you need to purchase tickets.There is a shop serving drinks, chips, fries, pizza slices, and other snacks for kids. However, on the weekend when the crowd is more, they're usually sold out on the pizza slices :(It's a complete entertainer for kids while parents can relax keeping a watch!

Love coming here with my son!He LOVES to go in the pony rides which open on the long weekend in May!He LOVES the little rides they have . It’s Amazing!! There is a Little barn / petting zoo and pony rides,Miniature golf with dinosaurs !A wake pool and 2 different splash pad areas, the have a zip line and it’s just a beautiful place to walk around! I come here often during the spring and summer

Chinguacousy Park in Brampton offers a wide range of activities for all ages, including playgrounds, splash pads, sports fields, picnic areas, and a ski hill. It's a great place for families to spend a day outdoors enjoying nature and recreational activities. The park also hosts events and festivals throughout the year, adding to its vibrant atmosphere.

Too rushy on weekends and car parking becomes a challenge. Good place for kids. However, seating for elders and family is neither plenty nor comfortable. Overall good

Beautiful park!! Lots of activities for all ages.Weather you are looking to enjoy brisk walking in summers or want to do snow tubing. Weather you have kids that you want to bring outdoors to make new friends or you are open to make some new friends yourself, its very lively place! Such childhood energy around the park that you can’t have enough.Beautiful sunset by the pond, or just enjoying trails. Looking for some time with nature or spending some time with your thoughts, you find all in here.Update:- Visited the park again and discovered yet new treasures of nature at this park!Park had wedding Chapel, Green house, pony ride, tropical garden!Will definitely go again :)

Area was packed when visited on weekend.Kid friendly park with multiple activities can be done here

It's was an amazing place, especially for for water activity and playground for kids.

Haven’t got a chance to go into the park but I did visit during fire works for Canada Day.The parking was crazy and rush was too much. The cars were parked on the bicycle route and everyone stood by the side to view the crackers. It was amazing to view.Highly recommended but plan well ahead!

Parked at the Jack Darling Memorial Park, it was a busy and crowded place in the weekends. There are a number of parking lots, but all were filled up pretty quickly. Walked along the trail to the Rattray Marsh Conservation Area, the area was well maintained. It seemed Ontario has poured millions into the area, new boardwalks and all. The view was stunning. Liked the wetlands, the boardwalks and quietness in the conservation area.

A very nice area, great for a short hike, almost completely covered with a boardwalk. It's connected to a larger park with beach access, playgrounds, and splash pad. We were there early morning and left before lunch at which point it just started getting crowded with few parking spots available.

Great to go for walks along the boardwalk and was all easy trails to take. There was plenty of maps so it was easy to navigate. It is quite a popular place that it does get crowded sometimes especially near the grass lawn areas.

I came by with my family today under the recommendation by other Google user that this boardwalk is one of the longest within the GTA region. We started out around 3 o’clock and the weather was so nice. There was wind and clouds and the sun wasn’t too bright on us.I read that there is no parking lot for this conservation area and people usually park at the Jack Darling Memorial Park parking lot. However, if you come over the weekends, you may find these parking lots jammed with cars and people all there for the beach front and BBQ.If you’re only here for trail walking you can choose to park at the Green Glade Sr Public School on the other side of the path, which is much less stress and the entrance to the conservation park is right there opposite to the school.We quickly found the boardwalk, which was very clean and well-maintained. It was such a pleasant walk because of the weather and the way the trails are nicely built with wide walkways and boardwalk built over the watery wetland. We saw lots of people walking the dogs. We saw different kinds of birds. Some of them were taking a nice bath in a river and we said hi to many squirrels and chipmunks along the way. Some reviewer said they have met deer or coyote or the kind of animals in this park but we didn’t see any perhaps because is during the daytime. If you like boardwalk you should really come and try it out at the Rattray Marsh Conservation Park!

I've been to Rattray Marsh on quite a few occasions and at different times of the day. Personally I find that the best time is very early in the morning as the birds are out and about and it's still nice and quiet without too many people.The trails and raised boardwalks offers some great views over the marsh. If you're lucky you can catch some of the local wildlife that call this marshland home. I didn't see any deer or beavers but I did catch this hawk in action.It's one of the last remaining lakefront marsh on western Lake Ontario and a great spot for birdwatching and enjoying the fall colours.Right now (October 2021) they are doing maintenance so some of my favorite portions of the boardwalk and, as a result, they're now closed off to the public. Those areas provide some of the best views of the marsh and construction is slated to go into 2022.

Nice getaway in the city!Went on a Tuesday. Parked at the Jack Darling park and took a short walk to the marsh.The boardwalk was really nice and easy to walk on. Lots of maps so you’re never lost.Took about an hour to walk around and come back to the parking lot.

This so wonderful place to spend entire day with friends and family. Take food, water, games, barbecue, beach access is so easy. Washroom facility is available. Splash pad for every one as well. Lots of picnic tables available. If you are choosing public holiday try to reach around opening time by 8 am as there are 4 parking lot but all are full. Do not park anywhere in parking lot as there is penalty tickets we seen on random park cars. Parking is free for whole day. It was so nice experience

Rattary Marsh (Conservation Area) and Jack Darling Memorial Park (A Dog Walkers Paradise) strive to create a park area for Families, Nature Lovers, and/or for those who enjoy walking their dogs for both off leash or on leash activities.The nature area trails in and between the park and conservation area cover a total distance of approximately 6.1 km. with ample walkways, play areas, lookouts and access to Lake Ontario. There is access to a number of washrooms as well as parking in the park side of the area. Some of the walkways are wet and muddy so it may be advisable to wear hiking boots especially when there is melting snow or when it is raining.Both areas are fairly well maintained, and the Conservation area has received a new walkway which allows for comfortably walking around the edges of the marsh.My wife and I were there on a weekend, when it was moderately busy. We were somewhat annoyed by the occasional garbage, cans, and excrement left behind by some irresponsible people. It might be useful if there were a few more signs encouraging people to properly dispose of their garbage (not throwing it to the wayside), and to clean up after their dogs.Putting aside the exceptions mentioned above, we really enjoyed our visit to the area. There are many opportunities for observing, photographing and enjoying nature and its wild life.

A real hidden gem. Definitely worth a trip, has a nice area of beaches and some rather enjoyable walking paths. The conservation area is really great to experience. Marshlands are an extremely important part of the ecosystem. Public benches, bbqs and washrooms are available to the public. Parking was a little full during our trip today.

Beautiful lakeside park There is a promenade along the coastline. You can enjoy the beautiful view of the lake. Breathe in fresh air that fills your lungs Listening to the sound of the waves and the wind helps to relax. There is ample free parking. I walked under the shade of a tree. and meditate i feel great if you have free time must visit this place

This Rattray Marsh Conservation area is a hidden gem. I wish I could find it earlier. A very good place to go for a short or long walk. It is a cool place to picnic and barbecue since the Jack Darling park is near by. The sceneries here are perfect. A lot of benches to sit and rest and the park is beautifully maintained. 💕

The paths were well maintained and well marked. We stayed along the main trails and boardwalks which were easy terrain for walking or running. There was some construction going on so somebpaths were inaccessible but they were well marked as auch. The scenery was beautiful. Lots of red winged black birds and Trillium flowers growing. The parking situation was a disaster so I suggest going early on to avoid the rude, impatient people.

It is a lovely park and it is quite huge! As you enter, they have an off leash dog park section! We even saw a fox randomly at the entrance as well!!As you continue driving, drive until you see the playground and ice cream truck. Park there to access the trail. They have a nice long trail and it is wooden, so it is stroller friendly! I love that bikers aren’t allowed on the trail! So it’s safe for running toddlers and your pups. The plus side is you get to see a nice view of the water and downtown Toronto! Such a nice place to take photos! They have two sets of playgrounds, one near the trail and one at the parking lot by an ice cream truck.Always bring a sweater with you! It can get windy since you are by the water! It was a nice place to spend the day! We went here for Mother’s Day!

This park is a unique experience for nature lovers and is a must-see for avid birdwatchers. This environmental gem along Mississauga’s Lake Ontario shoreline features a shale beach and pedestrian boardwalk overlooking a natural wetland.Once you walk pass the waterfront area, it will lead you to multiple small trails to discover wildlife including herons, rabbits, beavers, deer, foxes and more. One can easily spend 1.5-2 hours exploring the area. Have amazing lake view with waves.The park has almost 4 different parking lots, still it gets full during weekend as it is free. Quite busy park, you will see people celebrating birthdays and much more.

Wonderful place to walk. Great pathways and boardwalks. It changes every week. If you’re lucky you might spot some wildlife too. Extremely well cared for.

I had a lovely experience at Rattray Marsh Conservation Area, as it had all of the elements that I needed for my photography. It was local. There was bird life. There are endless trails that you can do on a warm afternoon. The pathways are scenic and did I mention all of the natural elements involved.It was a bit chilly in March but definitely worth the go at any time of the year.

Rattray Marsh is a small urban park on the lake shore of Lake Ontario. It's a great place to come for a short walk where you'll have the opportunity to see some wildlife (especially birds) if you keep watch for them. There are a number of woodpeckers and other song birds but there are also owls, hawks and even Bald Eagles that frequent the park.

This conservation area was a lovely surprise! It's an easy walk along a boardwalk through beautiful marsh land. I saw several different birds during my visit, making it a great spot for some birdwatching.Heads up about parking: There isn't any parking available right at Rattray Marsh itself. But don't worry, you can park at Jack Darling Memorial Park nearby and access the marsh through the waterfront trail. It's a short and scenic walk to the boardwalk.Overall, I'd definitely recommend Rattray Marsh for a peaceful and nature-filled walk!

Super green and peaceful! Strongly recommended if visiting nearby. Google map location is misleading, ideally one should park near Jack Darling park and walk towards the boardwalk from there. It’s a beautiful nature walk, especially the boardwalk. Spotted a swan near the shore which was a bonus.

Amazing nature trail with board walk leading to a beautiful view of the lake also has a beach with sand . If you’re lucky you might find deers and other wildlife animals.

The trail is well maintained, with plenty of trail marks and information. Depending on the path taken, the stroll can be enjoyable. The boardwalks are safe and offer plenty of space for busier days. It's a great place to take a walk and get some fresh air.Parking is only available in Jack Darling Park, but the walk overto the conservation area is rather quick from the park.

Beautiful board walk, visited during early October when there was nice fall colors. Did the trail, probably around 1-1.5 hours worth of walk. Recommended

Great boardwalk trails. Not entirely handicap accessible. But elevation is fairly minimal and is great for even beginners. Definitely recommend venturing on tot he waterfront trail to enjoy the great views of the Toronto Skyline which I imagine are even better on clear days!

Pretty conservation area, quite busy, not big, but i can easily spend 2+hours here in a relaxed pace and sit on the beach watching waves and the toronto skyline. Nice long boardwalks, well maintained. The marsh offers great place to watch for birds and other wildlife.I parked at the free parking lot at Jack Darling Memorial Park, and walked here in around 10min.

We parked at Jack Darling Park, walked along the shoreline path to the Rattray Marsh. A well kept boardwalk through the marsh, easily walkable with plenty of birds, bees and fall colours just starting to emerge. Some shade provided by the tall canopy. Benches are available to take a rest and admire the scenery. A little gem.

Quiet, peaceful, amazing, love this walk and spending time there. The park has a good vibe and you could walk and enjoy the nature as you would not hear the noise from roads.

Well maintained trail with lots of trail markers and info. Enjoyable walk and hike depending on the paths that one takes. The board walks are safe and have lots of room for busier days. It’s a good spot to go for a walk and get some air. Parking is only in Jack Darling Park but the walk over to the conservation area is fairly quick from the park.

Finally!, I found this amazing pedestrian boardwalk in Mississauga. I started walking from Jack Darling Memorial Park towards the westside with my dog and it led me to Rattray Marsh Conservation Area. It's a wow! It offers a unique experience to see critters, birds, plants and I enjoyed my walk with the pedestrian boardwalks overlooking the wetlands. It was such an inspiration.

Nestled in the busy Mississauga GTA area, this is serene place for the whole family. A great picnic spot to spend the entire day, with lots of activities that one can do from barbecue to cycling walking, you name it. This place has brilliant unobstructed views of Toronto downtown with endless photo opportunities. The Boardwalk was not fully open when we visited but the walk had breathtaking views and overall a great experience. A must visit for enjoyment for the whole family, with free parking and washroom 🚻 facilities onsite.

Great spot for family outings! The play area and beaches are perfect for kids, and the water views are stunning. You can go in the water, have a picnic with available grills, or just relax on the benches. There's ample parking, clean restrooms, and it's dog-friendly too. Whether you're into cycling or skating, this place has something for everyone. Highly recommend!

I went there with my friends and it was splendid. The weather was nice and the view was so relaxing. Best option for people who love a long walk. The place is also good for doing barbecue, benches and tables are available for public.

Huge, clean park in Mississauga for family picnics. The washrooms are clean and that deserves a thumbs up. On weekends the park is pretty full and you have to wait to find a parking spot. There's a kids play area, splash pool, walking trail and lots of picnic tables, to set up your BBQ. It was my first time there and was impressed with the number of times I saw the garbage collected and how well maintained the park is. Definitely worth going again. 👍👍

Beautiful place for picnic. Many families come here for BBQ day out. Lakeside is amazing. Washrooms available. Mosquitos need to be controlled though. Parking is little difficult when crowded.

Jack Darling Park is an absolute gem in Mississauga! 🌳🏖️ It's a stunning waterfront park with picturesque views, walking trails, and a beautiful sandy beach. Whether you want to go for a leisurely stroll, have a picnic, or soak up the sun on the beach, this park has it all. It's the perfect place to unwind and connect with nature. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture the breathtaking views! 📸🌅

It’s just the same as Richard’s Memorial park.Quite close to it, Jack Daniels Memorial Park stands as a testament to the legacy of a whiskey pioneer. Nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery, the park offers visitors a tranquil retreat from the bustle of everyday life. As you wander along winding pathways, you'll encounter serene ponds reflecting the sky above, benches inviting contemplation, and majestic oak trees providing shade on sunny days. Plaques scattered throughout the park share anecdotes and historical tidbits about Jack Daniels, his distillery, and the impact he had on the community. Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast paying homage to a legend or simply seeking solace in nature, Jack Daniels Memorial Park promises a memorable experience.PA- washrooms are questionable topic.Pictures clicked for references.

Good place to relax, but weekend are just unbelievably occupied and portrays a picture of flea market instead of park. Beach area is very small, though ok for kids only. Park is huge and better to find spot away from the beach to be peaceful and enjoy

Awesome place in Mississauga. A great water shore to rest your evening or to spend it on weekends, fall is an awesome time to visit as there are multiple trees changing and adapting them to fall colors. Benches kept well planned and away from each other so that every one privacy or their peace is not disturbed. Sound of waves on a cold day relaxes all the stress. Huge parking available. Some small water fountains for kids to enjoy and also a beautiful view of Toronto downtown from the shore.

Park is very popular. Has picnic areas, beach and a leash free zone. Toronto skyline with CN tower visible across the lake. Fall colours just setting in. Will look great by next week. Just remember parking can be a challenge and I saw people getting tickets for not parking in a regular spot.

Jack Darling Memorial Park in Mississauga is a stunning destination for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike. It offers visitors a variety of activities, including jogging, walking, picnicking, barbecuing, and enjoying the boats docked at the marina. I had the pleasure of visiting this park recently and was impressed by the beauty of the surroundings and the amenities available.Firstly, the jogging and walking trails at Lakefront Promenade Park are fantastic. The trails offer breathtaking views of Lake Ontario. Whether you're a seasoned runner or simply enjoy a leisurely walk, the trails are suitable for all fitness levels. The scenery along the trail is stunning and you will undoubtedly enjoy a peaceful and calming atmosphere.The park also has ample space for picnics and barbecues, making it a perfect location for a family outing or a get-together with friends.One of the enjoyable experiences at Jack Darling Memorial Park is watching the Toronto downtown skyline far away, its really eye catching. You can see the boats and jet skis coming and going, and it's a great opportunity to admire the beauty of the lake.Overall, Jack Darling Memorial Park in Mississauga is a fantastic destination for anyone looking to enjoy the great outdoors. It offers visitors a variety of activities and amenities, including jogging and walking trails, picnic and barbeque areas. The park is well-maintained, and the scenery is breathtaking. I would highly recommend this park to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable day out.

Cool little park with an abundance of grass and tables for family picnics. Expect encounters with mallards, Canadian geese, and swans. Don't be surprised if they come towards you; it seems others frequently feed them so they aren't as wary of people. Also, check out the marsh just 5-10 minutes to the south!

Amazing park!!!! Well kept, clean, gorgeous mature trees, flowers, beach, playground. The perfect park for kids to play and at the same time perfect park for a nice walk. This park connects to the Rattray Marsh Conservation Park which is lovely to walk.

If you love nature and peace , or want to heal your soul and inner cells, you should come to Jack Darling Park at least once. come early on weekdays before 11:00 am is best. Long walks beside the water front, 2 restrooms 2 parks and, pets, bicycle, picnic areas and tables. Turquoise and clean water in some spots if you want to go in the water. At least 4 parking areas but the closest ones by the water, you must come supper early.I love this place! Good bless to all.

I had the most wonderful experience visiting the beautiful park!The lush greenery and well-maintained pathways made for a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.The serene atmosphere and the chirping of birds created a tranquil ambiance that allowed me to unwind and reconnect with nature.

One of the best park in Port credit. Great park for kids, too, and walking,running, or biking by the lake.

Today was the first time I visited this park with my baby and mother. It is such a beautiful place. It’s beautifully maintained as well. Good place to talk a short or long walk by the shore. There is benches throughout the park and places to picnic and barbecue. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Love love love this park. Definitely would visit again and again and again.

It was a lot bigger than what I thought it was going to be, dog friendly, and all around a good place to go if you ever feel alone and need to be near the water to think.

We visited weekend of 19th May, it was very good and nice place to have family get together.Pros: Nice lake view and beach.Can barbequKids splash padKids play areaCan use public transportation if you don’t have carCons:Parking is very difficult, I have to search for an hour to get parking spotLot of parking fights ( ladies and gents don’t come behind and stand on the parking bay, )Toilets are very dirty and long queues. Had very difficult time with kids (be prepared)Tip: Avoid public holidays and long weekends

Great place to spend lazy afternoon alone or preparing your own food.There is ample sitting arrangements for large groups and families.Parking is free and available most of the time.The park has nice view of the lake.

The jack darking memorial park is very beautiful with lots of scenic views all over the place. It’s having a special unleashed area for dogs and multiple trails are connected, there is water mash area to save the wet land. The trails are good to walk.

I loved coming to this place with my adorable pomeranian dog and this park is huge with a dog park, playground, splash pad, picnic areas, bbqs, beach that offers many great facilities for families and individuals who want to spend time outdoors.I started walking from Jack Darling Memorial Park towards the west side and it leads you to Rattray Marsh Conservation Area. It offers a unique experience to see critters, birds, plants and walking to the pedestrian boardwalks overlooking the wetlands. It really amazes me to see the beautiful scenery and inhale the fresh air during Spring time. Looking forward to Summer! Yessss!

Beautiful park with awesome view, beach side, barbecue, ice cream truch around 6-7 pm, Long walking trail, Awesome for kidz very nice playground. Perfect to hand out with friends. Spent quality time with friends and family. Look for photos & Videos for better understanding. There are 4,5 parking spots if you go on the side road till you see the lake.

My boyfriend and I came to Jack Darling Park and did some paddling last week. It is very clean and family oriented place. If you are looking for a nice family get together and have some barbecue going on it’s perfect spot for you. Also, big playground a water sprinkler spot for kids as well. Two separate beach sections. Even if you get hungry there’s a nice lady with clean hot dog stand! Also ice cream man comes around too… this park has everything! It is very big and has different areas kinda little bit for everyone.Please note: If you are coming on weekends come really early to get your parking spot. Park is huge and has 3-4 different lots but they all get filled fast to the point where people park on the Main Street. It gets crazy… or if you have truck come with one so you can park on grass..

Beautiful. There are multiple beaches. Splashpad for kids. Multiple BBQ. So many benches. Very spacious. Perfect place for picnic.

I recently visited this park and had a fantastic time! The free BBQ facilities were a great addition, making it easy to enjoy a nice meal with friends and family. The splash pad was a hit with the kids, providing endless fun and a great way to cool off. The beach area was clean and well-maintained, perfect for a relaxing day by the water. Overall, a wonderful place to spend a day outdoors

Beautiful lake view. Beaches are available to sit down and also restrooms are available for use. I saw few benches in some areas of the park as well

Along the lake shore with pathways, benches, picnic tables and barbecue stands. Not meant for cycling. Open grass areas. Limited unsupervisd swimming venues and spread out parking. Hordes of flying insects when we visited (mid Apr).

Jack Darling Memorial Park is located in Mississauga, Ontario, along the shores of Lake Ontario. It's a picturesque waterfront park offering stunning views of the lake, walking trails, picnic areas, sports fields, and a playground. We can also have family and friends get-together parties with music and barbecue lunch picnics... the lake shore is very cold even during June.. can't step into water.. much cleaner shore without algae would have been better. Great place.

Great waterfront park in Mississauga. Sandy beaches, walking/ biking trails, BBQ areas with picnic tables, pet friendly, lake swimming and a great view of Toronto’s CN tower. Great place to relax, free parking, public washrooms and ice cream trucks. One of the best lake front parks in Mississauga.

Good place for a day picnic with family and friends. Kids love this place. Lots of place to play and run around. Clean and maintained. Lots of outdoor activities and fun. Plenty of free parking. Busy place. Safe and secured.Very busy public park! We enjoyed the green space and access to the water. Free parking and clean bathrooms made it stand out compared to somewhat similar parks (ie Spencer Smith park). The playground and splash pad were quite basic despite the space clearly being a family destination. So many birthday parties and family gatherings going on. Definitely not a park to go to in the peak season if you want a tranquil, quiet park.

Such a beautiful park loaded with greenery and beaches, lots of benches and splash pads. Wonderful experience

Wow nice place park with lot of optionsBarbequeBeachKids play area splash pad and other optionsGreat view CN tower

Best place to visit if you need a day off to relax . Lake front with sandy beach / trail leading to rattray marsh conservation area / benches / tables / washrooms available / lots of room to bring your family, set up camp for the day / great kids playground. SUMMER TIME REALLY BUSY.

Gorgeous patio experience overlooking the vineyard and escarpment. Meghan was our server today and she was an absolute gem. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the wine menu was very versatile. I highly recommend the waffle mess - the basil added an intriguing twist to a very sweet food palette. The frozen wines are also a must-have for summer. Whether it's a day out with the girls, or a romantic date, this patio is the place to be!

Beautiful dinner at Megalomaniac.Yes this place has a stunning restaurant with a beautiful view of the winery.Perfect casual seating and atmosphere we were seated on time and promptly.Our waitress was really nice and friendly.We got our orders in and everything came out on time and plated beautifully.Every dish was very tasty and perfectly prepared.The four of us took the tasting menu which was 3 courses. Under $100 with wine.My favorite was the short rib which was one of the best I have had in a while.Dessert was a yummy cheesecake or chocolate cake for us and we were all so happy with my meal.Unfortunately there is no full bar for dinner and a selection of only around 10 wines to have with dinner.Another disappointment was that there was no coffee, espresso or tea with dessert.Overall the food was 5 star, 5 service, atmosphere was 5.For a casual seating dinner I was very impressed.Highly recommend and I will be back.

Its a blessing to have such beautiful bounty right at our finger tips in Ontario. The vineyards are lined up with such care and attention to precision...Reminded me of cornrows (the hairstyle). The tour guide Jeff was so nice and amicable...I recommend visiting. They also make award winning wine...the only nit picking otem is that I think they should have top class French fries and coffee to go with there top tier Porketta sandwich and Chocolate Cake 😋

The food FANtastic! Everything was really fresh and delicious, the portions were perfect and prices were reasonable. The wine choices are abundant and the pairing suggestions are also cleverly made. The shops sells a variety of products other thank drinks and the staff are very friendly and helpful.The only unpleasant thing was that we visited on the weekend and it was really crowded. Specially if you want to sit in the hall to eat, there's too much noise and echoing because of how the hall is built. Everything else? Class A!

Great view, good food,Orecchiette was great,Shrimp tacos went damp and soggy in very short order but still tasted great.Average wines, wine by the glass, is a tad overpriced. I guess you are paying for the location.Would go here again.

My partner and I had planned to celebrate our anniversary at Megalomaniac Winery, but unfortunately, my partner fell ill during the limo ride there. What could have been a ruined evening turned into a memorable experience thanks to the exceptional staff at Megalomaniac.Will, the restaurant manager, was not only charming but incredibly empathetic to our situation. He made us feel welcome and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Pat B, the chef, personally came out to speak with us. He asked about our plans and preferences so he could pack our takeout perfectly.Thanks to their thoughtful service, we were able to enjoy a delicious meal in the comfort of our home.We are definitely looking forward to our next visit to Megalomaniac Winery. If not for the stunning views, then certainly for the outstanding service. Thank you, Will and Pat B, for turning our evening around.

We had a late lunch at Megalomaniac Wines a few weeks ago and it was such a beautiful experience. We sat on the patio, what a breathtaking view. The food was delicious and service was great. Will definitely be back.

The winery is amazing with stunning views, the restaurant is fantastic with delicious food, and the wine is delicious and indulgent.My wife and I stopped to have lunch and then did a tasting. We were seating on the patio overlooking the lake with Niagara Falls in the distance. I had the Braised beef dip which comes with a salad and my wife had the ahi tuna tacos and we each had their recommended wine pairing. Service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend both dishes.Once we finished, we did the tasting. The tastings are held in a private glasses room at a long live edge table. There was only my wife and I and one other couple so it was a very small group.I would say the tasting portions were very generous, not your standard 1-2 ounce pours.They have many different wines and you can’t taste them all in one visit so more the reason for repeat visits. I will definitely be back.I highly recommend the to be frank cab franc!

Celebrated a friends 30th birthday at Megalomaniac this past Saturday and the food was incredible! The Bubble Bread was easily the best garlic bread I’ve ever tasted. The shrimp tacos were delicious and the co*cktails were so refreshing! The view off the terrace is stunning and a great spot to take some pictures. The only complaint we had was that the service was incredibly slow.I will certainly be back!5 stars!

What a beautiful space outdoors! Food was flavourful and fresh. We loved the Rosé with the meal! Seemed perfect for the rather warm eve. Views were gorgeous and service was great!

Amazing food and service. Every single dish ordered was incredible. Our server Catherine took care of us and was super attentive. Will definitely be returning for the amazing food…We tried the dumplings, bubble bread, bubblehead salad, burrata, tuna tartare and gabagool sandwich… 10/10. We also tried 2 of their desserts. Every dish was extremely fresh, super flavourful and well balanced.

Great views, friendly staff and delicious food! You MUST order the bubble bread!! Lobster roll was a perfect pairing with the rosé. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Niagara.

We did a wine tasting with a larger group of 11 people. We were sat upstairs in a private board room with sweeping views. It was a gorgeous spot to sample and learn about the various wines they make. Jasmine was really helpful with going over the different wines and answering our questions. It was the perfect last stop to our wine day. The grounds are also beautiful so take a little walk around. Jasmine said they have walking tours where you get to check out the grapes so next time we’ll try that too!! Thanks Jasmine and team.

We keep going back because it's such an outstanding place! The food is great. The wine is great. The views are exceptional. The service was great. It's a beautiful place. Such a great experience. Hard to duplicate. Reservations recommended. Oh my gosh..try the Foie Gras appetizer. It's a shareable. Decadence.

Always a great time and great food at Megalomaniac! The view is the best out of all the regions wineries and on a clear day you can see Toronto across the lake. I’ve visited here during the summer and the fall, absolutely love the patio in the summer, the colours in the fall are gorgeous! Inside seating it’s very nice as well with the chandeliers. The service is on par and the “frose” wine slushy is a must have in the hot summer time. Mimosas are amazing as well. Their food menu is great and has alot of options. Never disappointed when I come here.

Dined here on the weekend. Had the brie and dumpling starters which were both good. Both of us had the beef short rib and unfortunately both were tough, chewy and difficult to cut off of the bone.Short rib at other restaurants in the region are either fall off the bone or so tender that you can cut it with a fork.Very disappointing. Don't recommend the short rib.Desert (choco cake and cheesecake) were good.

Beautiful and luxurious!Pulling up with the vineyard on both sides and the venue above on the hill was stunning.Interior was modern and beautiful.We had a large group and sat on the patio. There is no wine tasting or wine flights available there but we ordered bottles and the waitress so kindly brought enough glasses for us to do our own tasting.Delicious wine was a bonus!

Went here on Thanksgiving day with my family. They were so accommodating and added on a wine tasting to our walking tour. Our host, Alan, was so amazing and made the whole experience so much better. The walking tour was the highlight of the day with getting to taste the ripe grapes from the stem!! Thanks again Alan (hope I got the spelling of your name right!)

Delightful visit to Megalomaniac Wines this afternoon. Each of us had a flight of three wines, covering most of the tasting menu. I really loved Sparkling Personality (I have a great fondness for sparkling wines like Cava from Spain). Today's foggy conditions obscured the views, and it was a tad chilly for the patio, but I'm imagining a return in warm weather to enjoy the view from the patio.The menu had some delicious sounding options at the restaurant, which might be on the return visits agenda as well.The tasting room and retail space are very spacious, bright, and welcoming.A great place to visit all year, and it's sure to be even better when summer returns.Summer sun, sparkling wine and a patio - sounds perfect.

Totally, the service was so chaotic and the main food and the desert didn’t worth the price. We had a bubble bread, the Wedge salad for the starter, hunter’s chicken and Seafood Orecchiette for main, and chocolate cake for the desert. The wine was absolutely grate and so the starter. But the main courses were both awful like we couldn’t finish them! Also, our food didn’t come together and they had delay while they brought us another food at the beginning.

Wonderful experience. Beautiful view from the dining room overlooking the vineyard.Mimosa and Bellini were both very good.Bubble bread is to die for!Waffles were amazing, and Vegan Shakshuka was very tasty. Only thing we didnt love was the Coconut Pannacotta. It had a ton of cherries and crumble on top that took away from the Pannacotta itself.Would definitely return.Beautiful spot with impeccable service!

INCREDIBLE experience!! Cannot wait to return.Great service, great wine, amazing views, and the most incredible food!!! Went for a wine tasting during the day and decided to go back for dinner. The bubble bread was to die for and so was the lobster crusted salmon. A must visit for sure!!Went back two weeks later to have the bubble bread AGAIN!!! It was worth the 2.5 hour drive. Will be back in the fall to view the beautiful fall colours from that amazing view. Amazing place

What an amazing winery and restaurant! Beautiful view. Also, Emily was great. She always made sure we were okay and happy.It was my bday and this place made it very special.

Kacaba Vineyards and Winery came highly recommended but left us slightly disappointed. The outdoor setting is beautiful, and the winery offers a good selection of Shiraz. That being said, the indoor decor, tasting setup and wine descriptions (staff knowledge) left us a bit underwhelmed…

This place is excellent. My wife and I are not big wine drinkers but we checked out Kacaba Vineyard as we were visiting the wine region of Ontario; wow!! The place itself is serene and the staff are passionate and knowledgeable about the product. A special acknowledgment must go to Charles who shared his enthusiasm for wine with us and helped us appreciate the craft. A must see in the Niagara region!

I had a fantastic experience at Kacaba. The wines were exceptional, offering a great variety and depth of flavors. The staff were knowledgeable and made the tasting enjoyable and informative. I especially enjoyed the beautiful view during the wine tasting.

My husband and I booked a tasting here back in Oct 2021 as a wedding anniversary gift. Everything from our host to the wine yard to the wines themselves, was amazing! We got our membership right on the spot and have been enjoying the tastiest wine being send to us every month ever since.Would recommend without hesitation and would go back for another tasting as soon as we can travel again.

We chose the self-guided wine tasting and enjoyed a flight each on the Adirondack chairs in the vinyard.We thought it was very relaxing and good value. The flight with four 3oz glasses was $15. There was also the option to do a guided tasting for $25 each and you can then subtract the cost of the tasting from your two bottle purchase.

The wine and the service were amazing! Jess knew the wines inside out, and tailored our tasting to our preferences. All of the staff were kind and accommodating.

Charles gave us an outstanding wine tasting today! All the 2020 wines are fantastic at Kacaba. I recommend anyone who want a great wine tasting to go to Kacaba.

My friend and I came upon Kacaba Winery after a visit to the Watering Can as it’s very close. I’m so HAPPY we stopped in. We were greeted by Charles who was anything short of fantastic! Very insightful and funny!! He sat us outside in the perfect spot where we both enjoyed 2 flights, with little added bonuses. Highly recommend a visit here! Next time, we’ll be doing a wine tour (hopefully hosted by Charles) and not spending our time at other wineries!

Went to try a few wines after having their Syrah wines recommended by a friend. Dave took care of us. Of the 10+ years I've been going to Niagara this was one of the best experiences we've had and the wines were absolutely top shelf. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent reds, especially the Syrahs. Their tasting menu is a little pricey for the pour that you get, and really forces you to buy two of the wines to make it worthwhile. While the product is good, I don’t get the welcoming feel that we’ve had at other, small boutique wineries in the area. The server was very good, and knowledgeable, and didn’t push too hard. Not sure we’ll be back.

The tasting experience is amazing. Joe is an amazing person and keeps a very interesting conversation while shows all the wines they have.All the staff at the winery is helpful and if you do the tasting, then you get a discount at purchasing their wine.I will always come back with friends.

Awful experience - would give 0 stars if I could. We came on Sunday during the rain storm. The staff was not interested in helping us even though the place was empty. We ordered 3 flights of wine and then were escorted to a random back room in their facility that looked like it was used for events. Room was a hot mess - tables and chairs kind of everywhere, very cafeteria like. We were not seen again by a staff member. We were told nothing about the wine. My friend got up at one point to ask for water and see if there was food available to purchase and we were told there was zero food available to purchase anywhere at the winery. Literally not even a bag of pretzels. We did not finish our flights and when we were leaving, we noticed other people enjoying tastings out in an open room. Unsure why we were not offered this. Wine was mediocre, maybe would have enjoyed it with better ambiance.

We had an amazing experience with wine tasting. The gentleman that served us was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. Their wine is good to. I don't drink red but he found one that I actually would drink. Thanks

Great Winery to visit for friends. Guided wine tasting 7 days a week from 11 am to 5 pm. Different kinds of wines to taste. Wine tasting fees are redeemable with any 2 bottle purchase of wine. I recommend everyone to visit this vineyard and winery. Close to major highway easy to access. Enjoy it.

Our previous visit to Kacaba was during a period of covid restrictions, so it was super to be back when the full great experience was available. They have a spacious bright tasting room/event space on two levels in the main hall, and a private room is also available. Lots of outdoor spaces for visits on the warmer months.Our visit this time was related to our membership at another nearby winery, Commisso, whose club includes partnerships with a number of nearby wineries for tastings. Kacaba has a lot to offer! Among the three of us, we tasted most of the menu and had a lovely visit with the staff member. My top two were the Reserve Reisling and, of course Joanne's Blend (sparkling!). My partner and our companion were both quite pleased with multi-award winning Syrah Reserve and Meritage Reserve.All in all, it was a great way to have spent a dreary December afternoon.

We went to our reservation for a tasting January 11. Cathy Roy had such nice manners to meet us out front and welcomed us inside for our tasting. The wines we tried, mostly red, and the Chardonnay were delicious! Cathy had time, knowledge and friendliness to give us a very pleasant experience. Thank you Cathy, you made a difference.

We had an excellent experience here. Colin was our server and talked us through every wine in detail, while also being super friendly. He gave us some great recommendations for other wineries. Amazing service and overall made our experience in the Niagara region 10/10!

We were extremely disappointed with their "vegan food and wine event". The photos showed these big portions of food on plates, and this is what we got :/ We didn't eat before hand intentionally (and spoke to others who said the same... that they were super disappointed that they had to pay to go for dinner after). The food was room temperature, the wine was okay, but my partner doesn't drink and just came for the food. Very misleading advertising. Left after 20 minutes. Could have been so much more- a big meal where vegans could eat and chat. bummer!

You know it’s going to be a fantastic wine tasting when the host walks towards you to greet you warmly to their winery. Jessica was an absolute gem, and was so very knowledgable and friendly. I would highly recommend you give this place a visit!

I became a club member a few months ago, and couldn’t be more pleased. The winery treats club members very well, the wines are delicious, and if you’re lucky enough to have Colin to guide you through your wine tour, you will never be disappointed! Colin’s expertise and outgoing personality make you want to come back again and again!

Kacaba is absolutely lovely! Their 2020 Syrah is excellent and their wine sommelier, Michael is exceptional! He's very knowledge and an absolute delight. Thank you Michael!

A awesome wine tasting experience. From the knowledgeable staff to the very helpful and friendly wine maker who went out of his way to show us what batch he was working on currently. Even let us have a taste of his most recent creation, not yet available, only on preorder. Great wine, Good prices, very scenic...

A great experience was had this oast weekend’s wine tasting. Excellent food pairings with Irish fare that included potato leek soup, cabbage latke/pancakes, and brazed beef. Serving staff were excellent, highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

Picturesque food, wine and view. We booked the patio for a group of 6, ordered 5 glasses of wine and 2 dishes (even after a full lunch). 5 star for all food, wine and service! We’ll be visiting next time for a flight tasting. Recommend the reserved risieling for sweet wine lovers. 2019 pinot noir has a complex flavour as European wine. We bought 5 bottles of takeaway.

We stumbled onto Port Promenade via TripAdvisor. It's a nice small port with a cool looking bridge (that is remotely controlled). The water is calm and there are plenty of quaint shops along the port/pier. Grab some fish and chips or some small treats and walk along the port.

Port Promenade shore is an ideal spott to see ships in to the watherway, yoy can find some sits around the área and take some snack too.

Good place to watch ships entering and leaving the Welland Canal.

Really nice, I enjoyed my whole visit to port colborne it is a very pretty area. It was nice to watch the ships come through the locks

A clean, well maintained promenade that is lovely for a stroll or to just sit back and relax on a bench. There are boutique stores just across the streets were you can find unique gifts, artisan chocolate or a bite to eat.I enjoy making a visit to the promenade wherever I come to Port Colborne. Been going here for several years, eaten fish and chips on the bench and had delicious gelato a number of years ago when the small building attached to the promenade was a seasonal gelato/ice cream shop.

Beautiful spot to sit and enjoy the view and a coffee

Great place for a walk, or just sit in the shade and enjoy some ice cream from Candy Safari across the street, as we did.

Best place for a walk in downtown Port Colborne. Clean and lot's of nice shops and restaurants.

Beautiful part of the city. Nice place to eat, shop and enjoy passing ships in the Canal. I would recommend to City Hall to make West street foot traffic only and increase pedestrian traffic.

One of the prettiest locations in the city. The wide boardwalk, seating and tables are welcome spots to spend some time and watch ships from around the world pass by. The city does a great job planting flowers, trees and puts Christmas lighting up. There are shops and eateries along the length of West street as well as others located close by. A jewel in the city for sure.

Foot tour of the wonderful Welland Canal one week before we sail through, from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie🌟

Great place for any age!! The trail is a great place to go on a nice day out!! The old canal also has some trails you can explore that bring you along a really historic area!! Love going here to relax and just go for a peaceful walk! Great place for a bike ride to the pth is all paved and ready to go! These pictures are from the old canal trail just a few minutes away from Glendale Bridge!!

Great place to walk the dog.

We loved looking at a passing ship and enjoyed eating our lunch by the canal. Great place for the grand children

These canals are always interesting. Such a great idea of moving ships up or down. Nice to walk around when it's not that busy and watch the ships pass.

We had no GPS but we drove around till we found it and it was so cool. A ship was going through.

Enjoyed this very much, it has restrooms, a picnic area and also some educational items. Oh and ships too

Just an FYI the directions for this pin are incorrect it will just take you to a dead end street. Search for the Welland Locks instead.

Do find the Canal system very interesting and worthwhile. Some of the ships exhaust is very black and the smell is terrible. The bridge notification system is terrible. This is causing people to waste fuel by racing to the next bridge because there was no mention that the bridge was about to go up. Can be hard to cross for work or appointments and also emergencies.

Gorgeous spot to walk, ride your bike, rollerblade, run etc. Long trail that goes from St. Catharines to port colborne! Gorgeous scenery and you can see ships going through the lock systems. Lots to see and do along here - water sports, sight seeing, museum at lock 3, viewing at lock 7. Very accessible. Beautiful spot in Niagara. Highly recommend

I really love this place, nice to take a walk or ride a bicycle.

I have to say it’s one of the most fun rides I’ve had watching the big ships go by in the locks and all. I did half from east to west ,welland.. before the end of this week I will do the other half going to Lake Erie and continue to push shirkston area and come back should be about 80 km or so. A wonderful bike ride for a day.

Great place to spend time with your kids and loved ones

Great day at the beach...The water was clear and the sand was clean.However,Parking meters are non functional unless you download a stupid app.

We visited on a rainy day and it was not busy at all. The carousel is covered, so it wasn't an issue. There is a combination of moving and stationary animals. Also, for 5 cents a ride you can't go wrong.

Amazing carousel 🎠 ❤️ & it has so much history.

Very cute carousel! A St. Catharines tradition. 5¢ per ride donation recommended. You can only ride one person per animal, so if you have a small child you'll just be standing beside them.

Quite the piece of History, Still 5 cents per ride, the Horses actually have Real horse hair tails. It's amazing

This entire area has been completely restored in the last few years, and it is one of the most fantastic places in the city! The beach and the green are both beautiful! The concession is expanding if you don't like the concession, the restaurants are also fantastic!The carousel is the star of the show! It's a 200 year old lovingly restored showpiece that works the cost is one dime per ride, and it takes debit in case you don't have change in your pocket. The staff are incredibly friendly, especially if you consider it must be pretty mundane for them to run the show all day. Stick around for a couple of rides. There are lots of fun facts about antique carousels. There are about 200 hand-built and hand-painted animals on the carousel, and it's a great place to take photos.This is not a great place to bring your car. If you are from out of town, consider parking in the grocery store or drugstore parking lots, and taking the bus down. They're only 30 or 40 parking spots, and the streets are very narrow.I consider myself extremely lucky to live here and to be able to get down there with my kids three or four times a summer.

Beautiful, clean, kids-friendly beach. I felt like I am in east coast. The sunset it amazing.

Five cents a ride for the carousel, and there's a great little playground right beside it.Note on the playground... not much shade, so be sure to bring sunscreen. That said, there are a number of trees nearby, and the carousel's pavilion also provides shade. (When you need breaks.)Short walk to the water and pier, a large pavilion just steps away for lunching, lots of parking (paid), a concession stand, and public washrooms.A number of great restaurants are a short walk from the main parking lot, including establishments that sell ice cream.

It's 5 cents for a carousel ride! You can't go wrong. It's all donation based and we put in some extra money. The only thing is if you are driving, you'll have to pay for parking. But you are also going there for the beach and they have a nice playground there for kids as well.

5 cents a ride on a lovely, preserved, historical carousel. A must do for young and old. It is in a pretty beachfront area ( or it will be pretty again once all the construction is complete) Ride the assorted animals then swim picnic and take a stroll in the little Main Street for some ice cream

The carousel is fantastic. It is a labour of loved I truly think it's one of the best things about St Catherines. It's free, but I highly recommend giving a small donation to help with the maintenance.We absolutely love this park. Parking is not free, but side roads are if you don't mind a short walk. (You won't regret it,there are lots of cute homes around) Great play equipment, snack shops and bars around. Beach is well maintained and there are washrooms from May-oct, and porta potties all year. The peer is beautiful with spots to sit and look over the water.And if you are not familiar with the band Rush- they have a song about the park- lakeside park... Sums it up if you don't believe this review.

We're very enjoy the moment no matter how many times you visit & walk on the beach or the sand never gets old. The beach is not a place to work; to read, write or to think, It’s a place where all worries melt away in the summer heat as you lay under your beach tent or go swimming, fishing or seating on the boat is very peaceful as well.

Absolutely loved it!! Beautifully restored. Operates entirely by donation. Nice playground for children and only steps to the beach on Lake Ontario. Restaurants within walking distance. Ample parking ( paid) port-a-potties on site

Always fun for kids and adults. Beautiful sceneries, nice beach and playground. I love walking along the beach, they also have nice trails for bikes. Carousel is lovely and we'll maintained. Returning there regularly.

Great park and beach. Enjoy the carousel and take a walk on the beach. If you aren't from St Catherines there is paid parking during peak season, but also free parking on the surrounding streets. Definitely worth a visit!

Oh my goodness!!! What a joyful experience that was 😁 I haven't been on a carousel in ages!! So much fun!! The Carousel is 5 cents a ride or admission by donation, we gladly paid $5. It is a stunning piece of art and history hand carved from 1898 to 1905 a Charles I.D. Looff original.

Grandsons really enjoyed the ride! We stood beside them on it, too, and had fun. Only 5 cents a ride, they will take any donations. We went on it 3 times. Short line for waiting.

Beautiful, well kept. Employees are nice. Not long lines.

The kids love this place… especially the .05 carousel per rider was definitely the biggest hit… the washrooms were clean and a lot of options for food …

I love going here. For kids and grown up kids. All will enjoy.

The Yorkdale Shopping Centre is considered a high end mall. It definitely is that. There are a lot of stores here that scream high end. However, as we were looking for clothes for our 5 year old daughter we didn't visit many of the stores. Not as crowded as I remember. It could be the pandemic. It could be before tourist season. Overall, it was a fun trip here with the family.

Nice place, a lot of brands and good selection of shops.The prices you might find even cheaper than in many countries for some luxury brands. Even though they don’t do tax free anymore.There are also nice cafes and restaurants.Be ready and got enough power, they don often also big sales. Be prepared!

Trying to decide if you should come? Yes, there's much when you need a bit of posh in your life. Just know parking traffic can get busy during peak times. Lots of great shops. Underground parking is great in winter.

In my opinion this is the best mall in GTA. The Yorkdale shopping centre is considered a high end mall and it's definitely is that. Almost all luxury brand shops are located here. There are many different type of restaurants and cafe in the mall. The ceilings are high and the mall is vibrant, colourful and spacious. Huge brands like zara, Nordstrom, Luis Vuitton, Chanel, Parada, gucci, guess, Nike, Tesla, lucid, venfast, indochino, Harry Rosen, Ovo, Aritzia, lot more have their presence here. Shopping experience is fantastic. Subway station, go bus station and bus stops are accesible. The mall is very well organized and kept clean and lot of security present in mall all the time.

We always love to go there for shopping, food and finding new stuff. It is one of the best place to shop and staff for every one, it expensive but worth spending money wisely. It is very clean, organized, visual screen to find your store, cooperative staff and safe environment. Parking may be issue but inside parking is free and very safe. Moreover easy access via public transport and in a minute on highway 401 or local roads with your on car. Love to visit again and again. Plan your summer 2023 to see this mall.

One of the best shopping malls in Canada. Can be an equal standard to the famous shopping malls in Dubai. The mall has a wide variety of brands, restaurants and entertainments. The location of this mall is convenient it’s not far fron downtown and offers a large free parking lot for shoppers. Restroom are very clean and the entire shopping mall is well maintained.

Yorkdale Mall is the premiere shopping mall in Toronto, one of the trendiest, among its high end stores and restaurants, you’ll find one you might like such as The Cheesecake Factory, % coffee, and RH, a furniture store and a restaurant. Of course, there’s Holt Renfrew and designer stores, Earls and Joey’s, Starbucks and Michel’s baguettes and so many others. Parking maybe an adventure but coming here to Yorkdale is really an adventure. A walk through its hallway will show you new things like Vinfast, an EV made in Vietnam. So I say, be adventurous and visit Yorkdale Mall.

In summary, I can say that I do not want to criticize some people in general, but if there is a rule, it should be applicable to everyone.Update02.04.2024The same security guard came and wrote me the fine on purpose, and he wrote only to me when there were so many vehicles. I call out to the Yorkdale authorities, please teach the municipality parking rules to such personnel who do not know the rules. Please be careful of such cool security personnel when there are vehicles in the same place every day. It is obvious that he discriminates because he only wrote the penalty to me.Update01.04.2024Same fır parking. You can dateUpdate:31.03.2024Today I came across a security guard wearing glasses. I parked my car temporarily and went in to order. So I'll take an order and leave. The officer said that this place was prohibited. I told him that I went inside to order. But the officer said, "If I see your vehicle again, I will write a ticket." However, I told him that I was here every day and that if he wanted, I could show him a picture of where the cars were parked here every day. He did not accept this and tried to warn me even more. I think of sharing the image of this here every day. I told him that I saw the parking sign for the first time and there is something he needs to know more than his cool style. Rules are rules if they are applied to everyone.After 30 minutes, a vehicle arrived again. you see.again again ever time.As you can see there are pictures from different time periods and obviously only the staff on duty treated me this way.You can also see the vehicle in the pictures, which has been there for 1 hour.Old:When I review the comments, I cannot agree with most of them. One of the security personnel has a very rude and commanding attitude. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SEATING PLACE. Instead of finding a solution, they come and tell you that if you sit somewhere else because the place is full, you cannot sit here. It's a heavily guarded shopping mall. I went to Vaughan Mills shopping mall, you can find many things you are looking for even though it is far from the center. And I saw that many people went there by metro and transfer.

York dale mall is one of the beautiful malls in Canada and well decorated mall I ever have visited.its not the biggest mall but have your favourite brand name retail stores.Inside and outside parking available and likely parked, be prepared to see lots of people especially on the weekends.Highly recommended. Don’t take my word for it.

2022.02.08 Last visit was in the year 2020. It is good to see that the mall is back and vibrant. People walking, shopping, eating, and drinking. We had a short stop of 2 hours. Had a quick meal at the food court with some of my favorites Chick-fil-A and New York Fries and this time we topped it with Hamburger from Big Smoke Burger.

Yorkdale is the hight end mall, clearly every store speaks that. Customer service desk was very helpful. Lots of parking place, yet lots were full. Luckily every lot has indication whether its full or there is parking available. Underground parking is also available. Loved the shopping experience here. Be prepared to walk,walk and walk.

After having a meal at the Cheesecake factory we decided to access this place for a bit of retail therapy:- this place is massive, so I suggest to take a map and learn where you want to go- a good mix of international designers where staff wants to know your name even before purchasing something and cheaper shops where everything is very accessible- I was pleased to discover that Lush has a presence in Canada, just like in the UK as I could not find it in the USA during my travels - I love their bubble bars they keep surprising me with- clean cut place with lots of nicely done toilets too, lots of chocolate shops and anything you fancy- we came here during the week and apart from the above mentioned restaurant, the main mall was not busy - I suspect at the weekend could be madnessMost surely we will be back

Amazing shopping centre, ever busy cause you find all the stores here. Very elegantly designed, clean, shiny, decorated. All forms of accesses for everybody.

Love this shopping center. This center has almost all luxury and normal brands available in one place. The parking lot is very big with ample parking space. Food court is neat and clean. But most of the brands have no discounts as they are luxury one's. Good to go with family and friends for shopping. A must visiting shopping center.

Beautiful mall with high end stores like Pottery Barn, Create and Barrel, etc...Plenty of choices to eat in the food court and lots of parking.The reason why I'm only giving two stars is the gender equality bathroom across from Pottery Barn. I fully support gender equality bathrooms but I just don't feel comfortable using them. If there is a gender equality bathroom, then there should be a male and female bathroom there too.I had to go to the bathroom badly and had to go to the bathroom in the food court.

Rainy afternoon, I went to Yorkdale Shopping Center looking for a particular small item I can find here - Google , my Favorite search engine -Big, Wide Mall, Bright, Clean, high end multiple stores, brand designers' names ...Security staff and I also saw two police officers : SAFE big place!Good to have a long walk, while watching these stores, then buy what I came for.Upstairs, at D3 the Food Court, a Little stop at Booster Juice ...

Has higher end stores with some unique ones too. The mall seems to always be under some kind of renovation. Parking is always difficult to find. Snow removal in the winter is done well. Good amount of natural light. Nice food court. Free WiFi but cannot always connect easily. Washrooms are clean. The mall is clean. Security is seen.

Nice place to shop around with many apparel brands in one place. Spacious car parking and environment also nice with gorgeous interior design.

This mall is one of my favorite! In my opinion this is the most luxurious mall in Toronto. It has a good vibe for spending time there and browsing stores. Food court is good as well. Free parking spots are available for everyone. I strongly recommend this place.

Lot's of shops & botiques.Great Indoor climate.Ample parking. Tolerable traffic coming & going.

Great shopping mall with so many stores. The parking lots are huge and full of car (we have to take a picture to locate the car).They have a lot of Dragon decoration for the Lunar New Year. Some traditional music band is performing as well. Our kids love to play around and join to build small stuff in Lego store. We can try the cinema next time.

One of the nicest malls in the world. Beautiful layout, amazing stores, and has anything your looking for.Also home to one of the only Octobers Very Own stores in North America

Luxury shopping mall in Toronto. High end brands as well as lower end brands are present in this mall. There is nice coffee shops and bakeries as well as restaurants.

The best shopping centre in GTA. You can find all the brands. Cineplex makes this mall more useful. The perfect food court helps the customers to enjoy the food as well. The staff are nice and friendly. The interior and exterior parking spaces are great for winter and summer. I highly recommend this place

Fantastic and futuristic! Definitely well thought out.The atmosphere inside feels like strolling through an art gallery while enjoying shopping.Huge selection and options. Some fine restaurants as well.Definitely recommend a visit!

The place was too big to only have walking as the way of getting around. I loved the shops tho especially at christmas season

Is this the best GTA has to offer? Okay, maybe I have been spoiled by American and Dubai shopping malls but short of a variety of stores (yeah that's not bad), this place still looks the same it did 30 years back. Yeah, I am that old. And so is this place (older, in fact).And in other words, really nothing to write home about.

A world class shopping centre from Medium to High end products. Very pleasant environment, despite being one of the busiest places the management and employees all over the stores have been very polite and welcoming. Must visit, just get a cup of tea and stroll! :)

The staff makes the experience! They’re very knowledgeable, professional and experienced. They put a special protocol in place for my dog’s neuter with megaesophagus, and everything went perfectly. I’m very happy with my experience and we’ll definitely continue to trust them with both of our dogs ❤️

I've been bringing my pets to this veterinary clinic for two years, and I cannot recommend them enough. The level of care and affection they show to all my animals is truly heartwarming. Specifically, I have a 13-year-old dog who requires extra attention due to her age, and the team here has always made sure she receives the care she needs to stay comfortable and healthy. It's also a huge plus that they have Brazilian veterinarians on their team, which adds a touch of familiarity and ease for those who prefer to communicate in Portuguese. Their professionalism, combined with genuine care for animals, makes this clinic outstanding. Highly recommended!

We’ve been using Yonge Street Animal Hospital for close to 12 years now. They’ve taken excellent care of our Milo— seizures and all. Reception is punctual and friendly and the team of technicians and veterinarians work together to provide the most pleasant and efficient experience for both the pup and the ‘pup parent.’ The doctors consistently attend clinics and workshops to update knowledge about innovative treatments; highly recommend you tap into their expertise!

A huge thank you to Dr. Crozier, Philippe, and the rest of the team for taking such great care of my Lady. Was able to have her examined within less than an hour of noticing her facial swelling and everyone was so gentle with me while I was panicking and fearing the worst due to past trauma of losing my other babies to cancer. I was updated every step of the way after her check in and even sent photos of her to put my anxious mind at ease. The most amazing team that goes above and beyond for not just their patients, but for their clients during stressful times.

I am always impressed with the special care and attention that my cat Sophie receives at Yonge Street Animal Hospital.The "team" is comprised of dedicated, professional, caring individuals who excel at what they do. They always take whatever time is necessary to explain treatments and procedures , and to answer questions and address concerns regarding the health of my pet. I have total confidence in Yonge Street Animal Hospital.

Had an emergency with one of my cats (Toes) and was able to get him looked after by Dr Frankel. She was very professional, helpful and patient. The staff (and Alex) were also very helpful.This is the place where I feel very confident that they will provide us (Toes, Tails, and I) with the necessary/required care.Too bad they don't have 7x24 emergency service

Our kitten had been ill for several days. I called in the morning and Angelica was very polite and willing to assist us on short notice. Upon entering the hospital, the staff were receptive to me, my wife and our kitten, Sushi. She was well attended to and the doctor was very thorough and professional throughout. Thank you team

I found this the most positive vet visit since my former vet of many years retired.Dr. Frankel gave a thorough examination along with an explanation of the procedures, including the cost involved.I sincerely recommend this Clinic.

Oliver is always greeted with the warmest welcome and receives the best, most loving care from the team at Yonge Street Animal Hospital. We always leave feeling great and so very thankful that we have their team taking care of his health! No question or concern is ever to small.

I just have to thank this clinic that always took such good care of our dog. yesterday we had to say goodbye to our friend and even though it was one of the worst moments of our lives we had the best experience. an experience that left us at peace and with the certainty that we did our best for our furry friend. Dr Bastos is not only an excellent veterinarian who has taken care of Azeur for the last year, he is an incredible, competent and kind human being. This is not goodbye, because know that we only trust this clinic to continue caring for our other dog Amora. I highly recommend this place ❤️‍🩹

Amazing clinic, full of kind and compassionate professionals who love animals. Dr. Frankle takes care of our dog Frankie, and she treats him as if he was her own. She is so knowledgeable, thorough, and takes her time to make sure we understand and are comfortable with every step required in his care. I could not recommend her or this clinic more!

Not only do they provide the best possible veterinary care for your pets, but Yonge Street Animal also has the absolute best bed side manner. Patiently explained what my pet(s) needed and why.LOVE Dr B & Staff!!!!Thank you for taking such excellent care & after care of Georgia!!!!Nadia

First consultation. The entire team from receptionist to vet techs and doctor were incredible warm and knowledgeable. Very respectful of choices and are willing to work with you on the plans for your fur family. They are open to hearing you and very patient with you and your pet. Very happy experience

I've always had an exceptional experience at Yonge Street Animal hospital. Dr. Belovich, Dr. Cozier and all the staff have consistently provided stellar service! Thank you for taking such great care of Bella at such short notice.

I was truly impressed with the level of care and service from everyone involved in Nacho's appointment. The technician, vet assistant and vet himself were so patient and caring , making sure Nacho felt at ease going through the stress of being there. I highly recommend this hospital for all your vet needs.

We love our vet, Dr Bastos. Our senior dog seems to have a new issue every other month. Dr Bastos takes the time to really assess him and answer all our questions. He even has gone out of his way to research an alternative route to surgery as our dog is very old and surgery isn’t really an option. The front desk staff is also great, always answering questions or getting back in a timely manner, online or in person. And the vet techs are super professional and skilled as well.

I really appreciate the excellent care and kindness we receive from your amazing front desk team, Alex and our veterinarians.

I've been a client of Yonge Street Animal Hospital for almost 20 years now. The vets are knowledgeable and caring, the technicians are careful handling my cats, and the administrative staff is always on top of things. Even now that I've moved farther away, I'm still bringing my cats to this clinic because they are the only ones I trust to care for my feline best friends.

Everyone was so friendly and so quick, but still thorough. The vet was extremely knowledgeable and kind. The staff were excellent at handling my cat.

Beautiful winery - we loved the classic, gorgeous building. Our visit didn’t include a tour, just a tasting & food pairing. We were welcomed by a very friendly face and walked inside the tasting space. Once seated, unfortunately we were a bit disappointed by the service. The guy in charge of the tasting was pretty dry and didn’t seem very knowledgeable. We had to ask all the qs to try to get anything from him and he didn’t even know the year of the wines serving us. The wines were pretty good, thankfully. Yummy snack too. Could have been a 5* experience if the service was a bit more professional and knowledgeable.

I recently visited here for a wine tasting, and overall, the experience was a mixed bag. Priced at $40 per person, we had the opportunity to try four different wines, all of which were genuinely enjoyable and showcased the winery's expertise.However, I was disappointed with the use of plastic cups for the tasting. Additionally, the same cup was used throughout the session without any change, which detracted from the otherwise high-quality experience.Another letdown was the lack of a vineyard tour. I had anticipated a stroll among the grapevines as part of the tasting experience, but this was not included.On a positive note, the girl who conducted the tour was very nice and knowledgeable, providing an informative and engaging presentation about the wines and the winery. The view from the winery was also stunning, which added a positive aspect to the visit.In terms of price and performance, I feel that the experience fell short of expectations, especially considering the cost. While the wines and the guide were commendable, the use of plastic cups and the absence of a vineyard tour left room for improvement.

Beautiful winery. We weren’t able to get same day reservations hence decided to call them and they told us that we can walk in (first come first serve). They were able to seat the both of us which we really appreciated. We enjoyed our tasting experience (peach wine is what they are famous for and it was enjoyable!) and I did like the dessert wines. Our server was also nice and checked in with us to see if we have any questions. We were told that they don’t have ice wines for tasting but the shop may have some. When we went to the shop, the lady was pretty rude and said that the tasting room could have let us try and just left it there…. What a let down at the end of our visit.

Beautiful estate with wonderful wine. Our tasting consultant, Gabriella, was so pleasant and knowledgeable. All of the wines we tried were delicious. Bottles to take home were very reasonably priced!. The top floor has great views of lake Ontario (one of the few wineries actually on the lake!). We will absolutely be coming back whenever we are in ON. Can't recommend this place enough. Their talented staff like Gabriella will make sure you are taken care of an teach you so much, all while trying some fantastic wine!

We recently enjoyed a nice tasting at Konzelmann. Four samples, my favourite was definitely the peach wine - a must-try. Our server, Colin, was polite and helpful. Will definitely return for a different experience next time - those outdoor pods certainly look intriguing!

We did the “Dome experience”Great unique experience.This was a great experience!The wines selected by our host Alex S. were fantastic!He also surprised us with a great selection of cheeses and charcuterie.He was a great host and also gave us a couple of recommendations of other wines we might enjoy based on what we told him we liked.The view from the dome is fantastic and quite comfortable even if it was 30C outside!

With a rich family history of winemaking dating back into the 1800's, Konzelmann Estate Winery is a must stop. It boasts the only winery on the lake, proudly run by a multi generational wine making family. It was the first winery in the area. This is one of the better ones in the region for sure.The tasting cost is reasonable for the area, with a nice selection of wines. Reservations are a good idea, but we were able to get in (off peak weekday) with a wait. That gave us time to check out the main building, including the overlook at the top of the stairs. It was cool to get a view of the vineyard and lake.They have an outdoor fire pit and tasting area, as well as an igloo that can be reserved for tastings. Great staff, friendly with great wines and prices that are very competitive.

Thoroughly enjoyed our wine tasting experience with Alex S. Beautiful view from the cozy dome! Some lovely wines, a fantastic wine guide, a lot of laughs and great discussion, while enjoying the charcuterie board. Well done Alex S. and Konzelmann. Much thanks and we will be back. Cheers!

My husband and I were traveling from New Jersey and were given the recommendation to visit Niagara-on-the-lake because of the beautiful wineries and lay of the land. I did a bit of research and found Konzelmann Estate Winery to be a must-see in the area. We arrived shortly before 5 p.m. and unfortunately missed the wine tasting events held for the day. Alex went above and beyond to ensure that we were given the best experience possible and took the extra effort to provide a tasting for us anyway- it was because of him that we had such a memorable time and made all the difference. His patience, kindness, and knowledge of the wines were appreciated and remembered. We loved the wine, especially the peach & Cabernet! We will definitely be back visiting in the area and look forward to returning. Thank you!!

Hit it 👍🏿! Have a very beautiful winery with some quite delicious wines. Paired with a nice little charcuterie board. One person in our party was needed to show up but we booked for five. Would have liked to maybe make a choice on the extra glass we got instead of having just 1 extra set.

We did a walk in on a long weekend and were fortunate to have a tasting. Gabriella was our wine specialist, she was warm, welcoming, kind, knowledgeable in her wines, asked us what we liked and made the experience so lovely. I didn’t know much about the winery and she gave us great information. You can tell she is passionate about her job and knows her stuff. This winery has moved into our top 2 wineries because of the on point customer service and their wonderful selections of wines, price points and how kind the staff are there.

I have had wine like once in my life and it felt like taking swigs of cold medicine that would out hair on your chest. My husband and I were on vacation in Niagara and I wanted to try a wine experience because it is a bucket list item.These are amazing wines and they are smooth and taste like the fruits they are made from. I would recommend the dome experience. Alexi was amazing and we bought a lot of wine. I hope some of it makes it home. I recommend the dome experience.

This was the final winery we visited on Feb 25, 2023 and we did get their hours confused. The restaurant stayed open later than the wine tasting area. However, we each got one free sample at 5:30 as they stopped sampling at 5 but closed at 6. The server was very friendly and informative. I bought a bottle and some chocolate.

We had a wonderful time doing the dome experience at Konzelmann. Alex I was an amazing wine specialist who informed us about the history of the winery and helped us with wine and food pairings. This is one of my favourite wineries in Niagara and I 100% recommend visiting here. Try out the Dome experience! Totally worth it with the gorgeous views.

My boyfriend and I had the opportunity to do the dome experience with Alex S.. It was a remarkable experience with extremely knowledgeable staff. Alex S. specifically was extremely friendly and enthusiastic, he went into depth about the wine culture in Niagara and gave us wonderful wine recommendations based on our taste. Alex I. in the building was also extremely helpful explaining wine preferences and gave a wonderful recommendation of a wine to get for my grandpa for Christmas. Overall I would highly recommend this experience, the wines themselves exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t have asked for better staff.

Busy Winery with great ideas. There is about 5 different tasting areas. Reservations for all are highly recommend. There about 3 areas inside a bar side for large groups another 2 formal sit-down areas and another stand up are (for those last minute people). Outside there is an outside casual patio area partially covered and the more romantic dome area.

Came by for a fireside wine & s’mores tasting.The whole experience was a breeze and we were seated in no time. Portions of chocolate were generous which made for a delicious mess. Who knew Marshmallows, chocolate and wine were the combination we’d been missing out on this entire time. Definitely recommend this for a first and who knows , maybe we’ll try it out on our next camping trip. Gold stars for team Konzelmann!

We had a very disappointing experience at this winery. We had a 4 pm reservation for a wine tour and arrived around 3:30 pm to check in and ask some questions about the place. The registry staff was incredibly rude. The lady at the front desk curtly informed us that "4 pm is 4 pm" and didn't even bother to suggest how we could spend our time until the tour started. When we asked about where we could drink or eat something, she was unhelpful.We drove all the way from Toronto to Niagara and paid $160, only to be met with such poor service. The wine tasting itself was underwhelming. The amount of wine they gave us was very small, and we had to use the same plastic glass for tasting four different wines. For the amount we paid, we expected a much better experience. We were very dissatisfied with our visit and wouldn't recommend this place.

Konzelmann was our choice for our wedding ceremony and reception where we opted for a package in their lakefront lounge.This area was perfect to accomodate an intimate wedding. In our case, we were a party of 26 and it was very comfortable for everyone.The staff at Konzelmann were always courteous, professional and very attentive towards our guests.A special shoutout to Vanessa who has been an absolute superstar going above and beyond as our events coordinator. Her involvement was instrumental in the success of our special day and we cannot thank her enough for it!This winery was already a favourite with their delicious and affordable wines, but their expert handling of our wedding will certainly make it a go-to when we have other events to host.

I liked a lot of these wines. Many good dry reds. The place was rather busy, but they were able to fit us in for a tasting without a reservation as the groups moved quickly. The wines were very well priced also. The only downside is that you couldn't sample all the table wines, so it's a guessing game if they are any good. We ended up getting a few anyway to try.

Fireside Flights was an incredible experience! Very highly recommended!! Wine and s'mores? YES PLEASE! Amazing pairings, wonderful ambiance fantastic service! There aren't enough superlatives to describe the awesome time we had!

An absolutely breathtaking winery, with delicious wines. We had a great time and look forward to seeing you again.

We had a great tour today at konzelmann. However there are a few points i want to mention. We arrived a bit earlier than our tour time and were expecting to be told where we can spend 40 mins while waiting for the tour. We asked the old lady at the register that and she rudely said it’s 40 mins early and gave no information about our actual question. After 40 mins, when we went again for the tour she was like “it’s 3:57 still 3 mins early” which we didn’t get because she might have the intention to joke but her attitude/face/mimics were insulting.. second thing was the cups. I would prefer to have separate glasses for each wine not a single plastic cup for all kinds. Because it’s not a cheap tourist activity, it should be an experience and the brand should take it seriously. If all kinds of wine leftovers are mixed in the same cup, it can’t provide the actual quality of the wine i assume. There are lots of good wineries and konzelmann is one of them especially with their peach one, but it’s not worth spending your time overthere and paying extra for a tour.

My mother and I came here as part of a Tour De Vine wine tour and we had an absolutely wonderful time. I would like to give a special shout out and thanks to Leanne, who guided us through the wine tasting. She was very knowledgeable, and so friendly and welcoming, she's a credit to the company. Thanks Leanne! We had a great time

We did a fireside flight with S’mores! Baptiste was an excellent host! Very knowledgeable about the wines we were drinking! Highly recommend this experience! Konzelmann has an excellent selection of lovely wines!

We did the biking and wine tour with Tour De Vine and Konzelmann was one of the stops. Donna was amazing and made the experience ten times better. You can tell that she really cares about you enjoying your experience. She was extremely knowledgeable and told us several facts. I’ve been to many tastings where they just pour the wine and ignore you and that’s what I was expecting with this but I was truly blown away. I would come back just for Donna because she is extremely passionate. She had everyone else in the room who were also on the tour, laughing and having a great time. Thank you Donna for changing my views on a tasting and realizing that not every sommelier ignores you.

I did the sip and sizzle experience here with staff member Donna and she was absolutely incredible. She was so knowledgeable about the wines and how it goes with the food pairing. She was so engaging which made it my favourite stop out of the 8 we did for sip and sizzle. The wine was incredible too, I will definitely be back to try the other wines.

My husband and I visited on a summer weekday and we were able to do a tasting without reservations with only a 5 minute wait. The winery is gorgeous and without any frills. They do not have a wide selection, but everything that I tasted was delicious. The young lady serving us was very knowledgeable, describing the different wines perfectly. I especially liked their peach wine and baco noir. We had a great experience!

If I could give more than 5 stars for my experience, I definitely would. We did the private dome experience, in which our absolutely amazing wine consultant, Alex, walked us through the history of the estate, showed us different wines and even helped us pair them with personalized charcuterie boards for me and my two guests.The wines were all excellent, and we were given a short tour of the wine store where we could purchase some of the delicious wines we tried. We left with around 6 bottles of different wines which we are all very excited to try.Within the wine store, there was an amazing experience with Donna who was kind and patient. She was extremely friendly and very funny which was the perfect cap on a perfect day.All in all, I highly recommend this experience and wine estate. It is absolutely stunning and we had a great time.We will definitely be visiting again, and thank you to Alex and Donna for going above and beyond to make our experience even more special.

I haven't been to the Science in years, but our Godson just turned 5 and they have never been before. It really hasn't changed as in hands on and exhibits to see. Some of the new exhibits were really good. He loves space, so level 4 was visited a couple of times. Excellent place to take the kids so they can learn, touch and experiment. We arrived there just after 10 and left after 3. Staff great , exhibits and everything else was really good. Thank you for a good day.Bubba.

Absolutely great place. We loved the space section, a lot to learn in a fun and an intuitive way. Kids had a lot of fun learning. It would take half a day if you intend to take your time to see, learn and interact. There is easy access via transit, enough parking and accessible washrooms. Kids might get tired walking. But over all a great place to take your kids. Imax theatre was also cook.

The Ontario Science Center in Toronto is good for kids and families. It offers a wide array of interactive exhibits that engage and educate visitors of all ages. The facility is clean, with well-maintained spaces and restrooms.The center's emphasis on interactivity and educational experiences make it a memorable destination. It has a restaurant that provides standard fare like pizza and burgers, it serves its purpose as a convenient dining option.

I haven't been back here for a while (a decade +) and forgot how fun and educational this place is! It's definitely a great place to spend the day with kids. There are plenty of interesting things for the adults as well. Did you know there's a big plant called Tulip Tree? I didn't. I like it that the entire place is spacious with high ceilings. There are so many interactive & interesting things strategically placed not too far from each other so visitors don't crowd into one place. Can you spot the dragon lizard?

Really fantastic place to spend a couple hours or more! The parking is $12 which is pretty reasonable and you catch a shuttle to the entrance. They like it if you get tickets ahead of time and if you plan on going a few times, definitely get a year pass. It’s very hands on in almost the entire place so it’s the perfect place to go with kids and toddlers.The staff are all very friendly and they are constantly changing up the rooms to showcase different forms of creativity and innovation.I prefer the weekdays because I could see the place being quite busy on the weekends.

Came in on a weekday morning, the place feels dead as you walk in with many staffs just stood around. Until you went to the actual science centre where you find out it’s packed full of school kids of all ages. You can easily spend the whole day here with kids.

This is the most recommended place for kids. Visited the science centre with my 4 Years old. They had lots of fun and learning experience. There are 5 levels - we could visit only Bugs hall and Space one. Kidzone is super fun.Experience and recommendations:1. You can not cover this place in one visit so better to buy membership pass - Planetary pass.2. Should plan full day as there are so many activities and level. Ticket says 30 minutes but it is an amazing place to spend days.3. Also plan to see IMAX movies as kids will enjoy it.4. You need to walk a lots so you may carry stroller for toddlers.5. Weekends tickets are sold out quickly so plan in advance. The only hack is that members have special slots so you can find some slots if general category is booked.6. There are experts available at each level and can share their knowledge.Have fun and teach science.

A good place for Science lover and curious. So much to explore in a day, I'll say you'll need minimum 3 days to explore this place and appreciate everything. I took the annual pass to make sure I'll get to enjoy the place. With the pass you get to bring guests and free parking, 12 movie passes. It's hard to give details here, I think the experience is well worth it.

We came here as a year end event with the kids and kinda disappointed to see that a lot of things has been taken out. Especially the space area so little to see now. The gift shop is also gone just a small little both in the way out. They have 2 dinning area one with nicer tables and seats. The other just like high school lunch tables and seats. The kids had the most fun running around in the great hall as there was nothing there just open space. Not too sure if this was due to renovation of the bridge.

I came here with my 2 kids as tourists from Israel. We came in the summer. There were many kids there because of summer break. A lot of noise, very crouded. This place feels more like a playground than a science museum. The kids had fun. The place is nice, the staff is very helpful, but I feel this place is not as educational as it is playful.

I took my 6 year old boy, but I am trying to assess from the lens of all kids from 6 to 66. I can agree with the opinion I hear a lot, which is that the place could use some revitalization. The exhibits are good - they really are. But I don't think they have the initial appeal to hook in the youth who have so many distractions and other things competing for their attention. Same for the adult who will readily assume they know what the exhibit is about on a surface level, not realizing there may be more there, just a little deeper. The fact that it has stayed mostly the same for so long plays well to the nostalgia of the 30+ crowd; that makes us better tour guides for the next generation. Hoping to see things evolve with the times, regardless of the address of the Ontario Science Centre.

There are a lot of activities for small kids. My 5 year old and 4 year old kids loved the experience. We needed more than 3 hours to truly experience the whole place, which unfortunately we didn't have.The exhibit halls have to be accessed from the rear entrance, and there are frequent shuttle busses that run between the main and the rear entrances.The family center was really fun and engaging for us. It's a great learning experience.

Fun place, especially if you have a young child who needs stimulation- as a dad I had fun too engaging with my son. There were alot of things and they can find 1 thing they enjoy and stick with it for hours. Although the weekends can get busy with all kids running around, will feel like a daycare with no parental supervision. Other than that it is advisable to go on a weekday if possible.

A mixed bag.I’ll start off by explaining that I haven’t been to the Science Center in well over a decade. But when I was a kid I would come all the time and would attend summer camps and would have some amazing experiences. But SO much has changed.Start off by the bridge being closed for no posted reason which is really a shame because that entrance really immerses you in nature and starts your journey off right at the Science Center. Instead, you wait in line for a shuttle to take you down the hill to the rear entrance. (Is walkable, but we went in Mid November with a 4 year old and a 7 week old).Walked in the rear entrance and the place seems empty. Lots of empty spaces and missing exhibits. The areas seemed unorganized except for the original Space and Living Earth exhibits. The way the exhibits were laid out really had so rhyme or reason and it was a really odd layout.The food in the cafeteria is WAY overpriced. Bring your own food!Now for the positives.The exhibits themselves are great! Amazing information for all ages and lots to explore and get your hands on. My 4 year old loved the rainforest and the interactive Dino exhibit. And loves playing with other kids at the interactive floor in the lower level main hall.

I will say the content of this centre is very extensive and can really be enjoyable and informative to folks of all ages. However, having parts of the centre closed was not what I was expecting such as the outdoor area which was odd to me since a lot of people didn’t have issues walking outside to get to the rear entrance instead of taking the shuttle due to long lines, and having the space planetarium closed without an explanation posted was very disappointing since I was looking forward to it. The OMNIMAX movie experience is very neat and a cool experience for seeing a movie on such a big screen. There are also a lot of interactive exhibits which help you appreciate the science behind it. One last thing, I understand that this is place is mainly for kids, but parents please look after your kids, I have seen so many without supervision and causing a disturbance which made it hard to enjoy certain attractions and can really make the time there enjoyable with so much screaming. Overall, not a bad place to go for the first time.

Best place to bring Young kids as well as inquisitive adults.The whole theme of this place will motivate a person to explore science.Recently, a new exhibition has been installed explaining the ecological system in city areas.It has an IMAX 3D dome, which unique to this place in whole GTA area.Parking space is ample. Currently some renovations are underway.

Always a fun time for kiddos. The large children area just re-opened.There are dinning areas for people that bring their own food right across and a bit past the entrance to the cafeteria. Very busy on weekends.The kiddos thoroughly enjoyed the temporary exhibit with the bugs

Science experiments on the go .. beautifully presented concepts and so so many things to explore . The ground floor had many sections where there are properties of magnets , fulcrum, pulley and so so much of physics with reasoning. The biology section has such pretty demonstable skeletons . The second floor is more of Watch and learn. The fourth floor has the kids of the toddler section which was so well maintained and equipped. . There are pretend castles and. play area . The planetarium lies on the same floor where a few cool display are present . I feel it’s a must visit .. my 5 year old loved it ❤️❤️

Аn excellent place to relax with the whole family. your children and you will be happy to get to this amazing place. There is a restaurant on the territory of the science center, so you will not go hungry. For an excursion to the science center, you need to allocate a whole day, since you will not be able to quickly get out of this labyrinth.

Loved my first visit to the science centre! We could not even complete the ground floor in three hours and aim to go again! Highly interactive with the kids experiencing sound by playing on drums or just going into a silent zone! Excellent exhibition on the developing embryo inside a mothers womb! Fascinating actually !The small rainforest with its colourful frogs etc etckids can have their run recorded and test their rowing skills as well !Enough said.. go experience

Since my family and I have a membership, we decided to come and visit the museum today. The bus ride was about 20 minutes. We walked instead of taking the shuttle bus because the line was too long. Previously, we have had experiences of food poisoning from the cafe, so we packed our own lunch and were able to get seating. This museum is amazing. There are exhibits for all- from deep water exploration to bat caves to the reproductive system. Came with kids and explored the play area on the second floor. Had a blast. Overall a great experience and would come back again.

Great place to take children for a fun day out. You need to take a shuttle bus from the ticket area to the exhibition hall. The facilities are a bit old, but quite interesting.

Our experience at the Ontario Science Center with four kids was nothing short of phenomenal! The center's interactive exhibits and engaging displays captivated the children's curiosity, turning learning into an exciting adventure.The variety of hands-on activities catered to different age groups, ensuring each child found something fascinating. From exploring physics concepts to interactive biology exhibits, the Science Center made education enjoyable for kids of all ages.The staff's enthusiasm and willingness to assist with explanations added to the overall positive experience. It was not just a day of learning but a fun-filled exploration that left a lasting impression on the kids.The highlight for our group was the IMAX film, a captivating visual experience that complemented the day's educational activities perfectly. The Ontario Science Center is a haven for families, providing an enriching blend of education and entertainment. Highly recommend for an inspiring and interactive day out with kids!

Incredible museum that enchants young and old. The explanations for natural and scientific phenomena and the exhibits are made so interactive that you want to see them all!!! It is worth spending a day. If you have children they will appreciate it. You too. Parking costs 15 CAD. It has a cafeteria inside where you can eat or drink something. But you can also have your own food and sit at tables outside the dining room.

An outstanding place to view witness and explore science. Even as an adult there is still more to learn. Great experience.

This place is in downtown Toronto..The ticket prices are appropriateYou can book online with discount coupons from your corporate officeThis is a place for inquisitive people and little curious gorges as in they have hands on science experiments for all ages from nature to human body , space, maths and physics..Highly recommend as such places are rare in India. And we get to learn in detailsYou need atleast 4 to 5 hours minimum to explore I would recommend going in the morning as soon as it opens so that you don't miss out its different section'sAnd its build underground too

this place got stuck in the 90s… everything except one exhibition was so old! some stuff were out of order some were sooo oily probably they haven’t cleaned it after the weekend (visited on monday). also there’s no info that this is strictly for kids, very boring even for young adults - elementary knowledge! huge disappointment, the place has so much potential!!!

Great experience to re-learn the basic knowledge of Science.Wish I took a picture of the planetarium but I was so busy following the comets ☄️ 🤣 plus the Human anatomy is something that I’m always fascinated about.Not busy during the weekdays but planetarium is packed. These were taken during Spring time (April 2023 if I’m not mistaken) Wish I took my time to read the boards and comments and explore / observe / experience what the kids were doing with tools and machine etc etc kinda wanna go back! 😕

Such a great educational experience. You can go there with your family, too much fun for kids and adults. The staff was friendly. If you are visiting during winter better to know that when you arrive and get your tickets you have to wait for shuttle buses around 5 minutes so don’t take off your jacket ( if you have strollers or wheelchairs you will take accessible buses)There are 6 levels. The best for me were levels 6 and 4. There is no level 1 actually. (the shuttle bus will drop you off in level 6)Level 4 is great for kids they will play music, do gardening, bakery, building and other activities they can also play with water and build dams and … the good point is that level 4 has nursing room too.There are sanitizers everywhere. Clean washrooms with changing table.Better to bring your own snacks and water bottles. But there is restaurant and snack bar inside the building as well.Parking lot costs 12$Admission fee is:22$ for adults16$ for seniors13$ for child 3-12Under 3 is free

Good place to visit with kids!Big parking space, fee is 12$.Tickets are 22 for adult, 13 for kids.We were there for 3 hours and see only 2 levels, so definitely will visit again.My children like the kids area.

A totally immersive experience.Set over so many aspects of science, our Son, my Wife and I truly enjoyed the day.Having travelled from the U.K. and combining many, many trips and excursions on our break away from home, we were always tired but, the Ontario Science Centre gave us a real boost!Thank you!😎

This is where I have been taking my kids for over 10 years. We love this place. So much fun. The scientists are amazing and ready to answer questions. The updates to the exhibits are always a wonderful surprise.

So much to do, so little time! You can spend a whole week in here and still probably not see everything. There are so many exhibits and activities for young and old. It's a huge building with many different areas so be prepared to do a lot of walking. It's great for tiring kids out!!

Love this place every single time, such a great and nostalgic place. Everything is almost Identical to how I remembered it and that was super cool to just know what I wanted to see and where I wanted to go, so it was really nice. I missed this place, and it's crazy that this facility will be moving soon, but overall, great experience. We also watched an IMAX movie and that was super nice so yea!

Interesting place to visit at least once. It’s not big so you can see everything in 2hrs. I loved the fact that they offered free coat check but no one was there to supervise it. If you have an expensive coat/jacket don’t leave it there!It’s a really beautiful place, and I enjoyed my time there.However, I was not happy with the lighting of the whole place as I found it dark and not the best type for a museum since we are there to observe the items and read description.The place could of used some nice music but didn’t have any. The security guards were good.The items placed too close to each other and it didn’t have any specific order to follow. Lots of scripts, paintings and old books to look at.If you love museums you should go but if you are looking for a fun museum definitely not the best to be at!

It was a nice experience.There are so many artifacts and the layout inside the museum was marvelous.We were lucky to get a tour. To get someone to show you the history of different materials.Also state of geography of different areas from the middle East and Asia.You get to know different cultures and lifestyles.There is a Cafe if you wish to rest and take a bite.The staff were helpful and welcoming.It is a good place to tour students from Middle schools or High school to it.There is a lot of parking space as well as outdoor space if you enjoy.

Aga Khan is an absolute treasure trove of culture and history. This immersive experience left me in awe of the rich heritage and contributions of the Islamic world. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, providing a deep insight into art, science, and spirituality.From intricate calligraphy to awe-inspiring architecture, Aga Khan showcases the remarkable achievements of Islamic civilization. The interactive displays and informative guides make the visit both engaging and educational.What truly sets this museum apart is its ability to foster understanding and bridge cultural gaps. It's a place where people from all walks of life can come to appreciate the beauty of Islamic art and gain a broader perspective on a diverse and vibrant culture.Whether you're a history enthusiast, an art lover, or simply curious about different cultures, the Aga Khan is a must-visit. It offers a profound journey through time, leaving visitors with a renewed appreciation for the contributions of the Islamic world to human civilization.

The Aga Khan Museum, nestled in North York, is truly a hidden gem. Although reaching it by transit presents a bit of a trek, the journey is well worth the effort. I ventured there alone to experience the "Light: Visionary Perspectives" exhibition, which delves into how light influences our perceptions, emotions, and understanding through an array of immersive and captivating artworks.Upon arrival, I purchased a reasonably priced ticket—made even more affordable with a PRESTO Card discount. The staff were exceptionally helpful, providing detailed guidance on what to see and how to navigate the museum. Their knowledge, friendliness, and professionalism were commendable.The museum is fully accessible, with both elevators and stairs leading to the second-floor exhibition. The thoughtful selection of artworks truly embodies the Aga Khan’s mission to enlighten its visitors. The exhibition was spaciously arranged and thoroughly engaging. The ground floor also boasts a collection of Islamic antiquities, impressively curated and extensive for a museum of its size. Additionally, the museum offers guided tours and even serves as a picturesque venue for weddings.Facilities include a dining area and a gift shop, enhancing the visitor experience. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to anyone looking for an enriching cultural experience—it’s a remarkable institution indeed.

This is a pleasant visit for the family, Sunday's are good with children as they have some craft activities from 12-4pm. The main exhibition was well laid out and plenty of manuscripts to see. The special exhibition had many beautiful garments. I enjoyed learning Islamic history from Persia, South Asia, China as well as some Christian and Jewish history. Quite amazed by the historical manuscript collection.I'm Really Very Happy to See that Museum 😊.

The museum itself was set in a beautiful green area, with modern buildings and sculptures. The collections on display were truly amazing, offering a wealth of opportunities to learn. However, I must admit that the staff at the Esmaili Center were not very polite, which left me wondering about their behavior. While they tried to create a visually appealing environment, I believe more effort should be directed towards fostering a friendlier and more courteous team.We visited on a door open day, and I'm not sure if it would be worth paying for a ticket on a regular day, unless you have a deep appreciation for Islamic art and culture.

The museum has a nice architecture, a warm vibe, and interesting collection of some artifacts which are mostly from middle east.It is worth visiting as comparing to Toronto’s museums this one is more concentrated on one area. However, the provided data is scratching the surface most of the time.The Rumi exhibition is nice, but again mostly scratches the surface of such a deep world of poetry.Anyways, a good start.

Visited this museum yesterday. It’s a must visit placeFor 20 dollars, it’s worth itI learned a lot about Rumi and the impact he created. The poems he wrote as well as the ability to impact so many people. Celebrities are influenced by him, students are, everyone else are tooAlso learning about the Islamic culture, I realized it’s a culture that values peace and love. It’s also a culture that values godAmazing visit. I recommend it

A must visit place to get insights into ancient Islamic culture and it's connection with other cultures. You can see rate Islamic manuscripts and arts here. In addition, museum holds various exhibitions regularly. Staff here is helpful and always there to assist you in case you have any questions.

This was my second time at Aga khan museum. The first time was for a concert. Both the times, the hospitality of the staff were extremely warm and kind. I’ve never seen that kind of vibe from any of the museums before. Thank you for that! :)The night in the garden of love exhibition was spectacular and made me learn some new things such as ‘Autophysiopsychic’ which very much resonated with me. Now I am digging the music of Yusuf Lateef!Loved all the pieces and the huge wall mural depicting history with lights! (For the lack of better words) I was looking to see more on Sufi dance and the like but didn’t find much. Overall, loved it! Would love to visit again!There is a nice restaurant and a cute little cafe in. The cafe thankfully has plant-based milk options for coffee! The cute little gift shop had exotic jewelry, scarf and lots of books on Sufi!

A beautiful, peaceful, historical experience!As soon as you walk up to this marvelous architectural landmark you are immersed in and welcomed into the world Islamic art, history, and culture!Each exhibit is well arranged and laid out with emphasis on each curated piece of history. You can follow the islamic heritage through the lineage of the empires prior!The symbolism of nature, light, humanity and spiritual awakening is seen throughout.There are various areas of reflection in and outside the building and overall an amazing place to visit and explore!

Peaceful and calm walking around this museum. Learnt so much. Everyone working there from security to gift store to coat check and in exhibit staff were incredibly friendly and willing to offer suggestions on how to move through the museum! Can’t wait to return in the summer to see the grounds in full bloom!

A must-visit serene and educational spot in Toronto as it gives you an interesting insight into Islamic history/art/culture. The lighting is perfect for taking pictures too! Sometimes it's easy to get bored with museums. This was not the case! Some of the item are so rare and valuable, I felt lucky to see them in my lifetime.I also visited the Museum's Temporary Exhibition Gallery, AfghanistanMy Love which highlighted Afghanistan as a place of cultural richness, diversity, and deep love.

Excellent museum. We got to visit as part of Doors Open Toronto. They should advertise that they have underground parking clearly, so not everyone is lining up for the limited outdoor spots. The grounds of the museum are very clean and serene. It's calming walking around especially at night. They had live music in the courtyard, which was very nice. The exhibits are also great with lots of history. There are beautiful artifacts from all over the globe on display. The auditorium is very beautiful. We really enjoyed our visit.

The museum has good architecture. Good number of religious artifacts however not great amount of collections. This is one time go and watchable place. But, it is must go place who are interested to learn civilization and to know about Islamic traditions. Religion means the way of life. So, anyone can go and explore the different cultures. Good time to visit this place is in Summer. As the garden has lavender farm and other nice flowers.

Definitely a great spot to spend a Saturday or a Sunday afternoon. The museum has a cafe and a restaurant attached to it. I found the tickets to be a bit pricey considering the exhibition it had going wasn’t that expansive- but this is a personal opinion. Definitely worth a weekend or a few weekends in a year with your friends and your family.

The Aga Khan Museum is a truly stunning institution that is absolutely worth a visit. Its architecture is both impressive and beautiful. The museum's mission is to showcase and curate art from historically significant Muslim civilizations, as well as contemporary Muslim communities worldwide. This diverse collection spans across a vast geographic area, encompassing regions from Spain and North Africa in the west to the Middle East, South Asia, and even China in the east.

I visited a very quiet, large, and clean museum with interesting historical pieces from different cultures. It was great to see some parts of a book by Avicenna, as well as beautifully painted calligraphy pieces. The museum also had different objects from Islamic culture, such as columns and beams from a building, each with a fantastic and short description. The personnel were very welcoming giving advice and helping to make a great experience and I really liked it. Hopefully, I will visit it again

The museum is wonderful and the person at the cafe is very friendly. And the museum is overall. The exhibition called “The night in the garden of love” is amazing. I strongly recommend this museum for anyone.

Great museum! You do have to pay for parking and the lot can get full quick but in my opinion the price of parking and admission is worth it. I do recommend paying for buying your ticket and paying for parking online so you can just enter the museum.The exhibits were fascinating and is a good mix of traditional and modern.

We found this place when we were looking for a place to go on a Saturday. Turned out to be a very modern Museum. So much about islamic history, artifacts, culture. Parking was on site and had to pay $10 for it. Staff is helpful and informative. So much to explore and learn for a curious mind.

I was quite excited to visit as a middle eastern landscape architect and I have to say the architecture and design of the museum is very beautiful and an exceptional modern take on traditional Perso/Islamic architecture. The museum and gallery itself was a bit disappointing and lackluster. The whole exhibits took around a half hour. The temporary exhibit depends when you go I guess. Admissions are free Wednesdays from 4 to 8 pm.

This museum is a gem: the architecture, the permanent collection, the gardens. It was our first visit and we truly enjoyed our time there.We were welcome by a very friendly staff member who was generous in explaining the museum to us. It was thus easy to roam around and appreciate our time. There was even live musicians in the main hall! We were visiting between temporary exhibitions so only had the collections to visit. It was not a problem for us because that’s what we wanted to see. Plus, the price was adjusted accordingly.The visit was very informative and interesting. The objects shown are quite impressive. The gardens and the architectural elements are just a masterpiece. You feel at peace visiting.Really, a must see!

small museum but very quiet and suitable for family with children. easy parking $10 and you can pay it by scanning the barcode at parking lot. you can take as much pictures as you like！

This museum showcases an impressive array of antique items, predominantly hailing from Iran, India, and Spain. Despite its smaller size compared to behemoths like the Metropolitan Museum in New York, plan to spend a solid three hours to take in everything it has to offer.However, it's important to note that the basem*nt and second floor lack the captivating exhibits found on the main floors, which may leave some visitors wanting more.Nevertheless, for those with an interest in exploring artifacts from various cultures, this museum provides a fulfilling experience, even within its more intimate setting.

The Aga Khan Museum is an absolute treasure. Its stunning architecture and beautifully curated exhibits offer a deep dive into Islamic art, culture, and history. The collections are diverse and thoughtfully presented, with artifacts ranging from intricate textiles to ancient manuscripts. The museum’s serene atmosphere makes it a perfect place for reflection and learning. Additionally, the staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply looking for a unique cultural outing, the Aga Khan Museum is a must-visit.

A beautiful museum with a great building. The museum items are from the middle east countries, like Iran, Turkey, Egypt...They are really interesting, and the upstairs of the museum usually has a gallery.

Serene aesthetic environment. Museum displays provided an insight into the art and culture of Middle East. The photo panels in the manicured gardens provided breathtaking experience.

What an absolutely stunning building and outdoor space. Love the minimalist look both inside and out. The grounds are beautifully kept and impeccably clean. The tranquility engulfs you especially with the water features.The minimalistic look that carries out throughout the museum is exceptional. There were zero distractions…just timeless artefacts filled with awe inspiring history. A very calming experience.The bathrooms were exceptional. Again spotless. I especially loved the fact that there are no massive gaps on either side of the toilet doors.The only issue that burst my bubble were the staff at the gift shop (women). They were snooty and uppity. I think they’re forgetting that they are working at a museum shop and not friggin Buckingham Palace! They need to come off their high horse and smell the roses.Please employ staff who are welcoming, friendly, non judgmental and trained to work in a diverse and customer focused environment.

I love this place. If I want to relax, I'll come again!All of materials which are shown are mysterious and interesting. I could have stayed so long time if I had had more time.The salesperson of the souvenir shop was good person and I bought a pen in this shop.It is a good memory for me to visit here!

Beautiful museum show casing Islamic history. It especially gives detailed look into various Islamic erasYou would be enthralled by sheer magnificence of old manuscripts of Holy Quran, whereas at the same time u will observe items that were used by people and nobility in olden times in Islamic caliphates of bygone erasThe large exhibit showing historical timeline of various Islamic eras on wall through a projector, was specially liked by my kids. It was captivating to keep on looking at it and read about different eras.On upper floors of museum there are constantly changing exhibition galleries.Everytime u go, you will find something new. Which adds to aura of this place.Live Islamic musical presentations by artists also take place especially on weekendsNice gift shop for souvenirs.Ample parking spaces. There is a canteen too.All in all, a fine place for connoisseurs of historical art and craft.Only thing which me sad was, that this museum is so interesting, time flies and you are left wanting for even more.It's so good. I hope they can somehow add more exhibits. Because my thirst only increased once I finished my visit. 😀

The museum itself it beautiful and I like how they have free tickets on wednesday nights. Also the little pools outside are stunning and make for fantastic pictures. There is however no free parking anywhere nearby and its kind of steep for the price (~$10). But its not gated so you could technically risk if you just want a quick photo op outside the building.

Very beautiful museum, architecturally, with informative displays about the history of Islamic art. However, I was really disappointed to find out there is no prayer room available within the premises. I hope the management will consider implementing an Islamic prayer room, within an Islamic art museum - it’s only right.

Interesting exhibits and very informative. A beautiful building and space. It does feel as if they could add more here, but overall very worth a visit.

The Aga Khan Museum is really cool. The building looks amazing, and the stuff inside is interesting. You can learn a lot about different cultures and art. It's a nice place to visit and relax.

I went with a friend on a Wednesday evening and had an amazing experience! We got to enjoy live music and see some innovative art. The location is amazing for taking pictures as well!

First time visiting the Canadian Canoe Muesum in Peterborough. I found it very informative and interactive. Lots of items to see and work with. Worth visiting the workshop as well. Any of the staff we talk to were quite helpful. Definitely take the time if you're ever in the area and go to the Muesum. You will not be disappointed! ☺👍☝☝

The new museum location and architectural building is definitely more than a five star 😃✨️Nice store for shopping with original products.Their Silver Bean Cafe.Had a delicious tuna sandwich with pears and pecans, including a rose hibicus pop.The varieties of canoes, shapes, sizes, and materials are amazing to see.Met Carolyn Hyslop, the Executive Director. By coincidence was at the museum during our weekend visit and took some time to meet with us.Staff at the museum are welcoming with gracefulness and great energy.Museum is located by water canoe launch, public beach, volleyball courts, kids park, many soccer fields, and parkings.

Pretty niche museum but as a someone who does a lot of canoe camping it was cool to see how the technology and designs have developed over the years. There is also some great info on how Canoes were used commercially back in the day which we found interesting.We didnt know they still had a mask wearing policy. They gave kn95 masks to walk through which I know a lot of people dont like. Id consider bringing your own mask.

The new museum is stunning. A beautiful location, with an incredible display of canoes. We are lunch at the cafe and it was one of the best meals we have had in a very long time. We also took our canoe and went paddling around the rivers. I would go every week if I was a bit closer.

I had the pleasure of attending an event at the brand new location of the Canadian Canoe Museum and I was impressed by the stunning architecture of the building. The parking lot is across the street but a short walk over to the building. The event space was upstairs in a private room with floor to ceiling windows that offered a podium, projector and tables with decor.

I never visited the old museum so can’t comment on that but I do know the new location is stunning. Right on the waters edge in a lovely location. The museum was very fun and lots to look at and learn. The cafe is also nice for a coffee or lunch. Would definitely recommend if you love water and the outdoors!

The new location is stunning!!You definitely need to come see this place and experience this piece of Canadian history as it’s brought to life with this amazing museum and its beautiful exhibits.And the silver bean café in the same building is fantastic. You can enjoy delicious treats and really nice local high-quality coffee and their famous strawberry lemonade for a great price.

Wonderful journey through the history, legacy and creativity of the canoe in an outstanding building. Interactive videos, stories of the working and recreational use of these boats. Silver Bean Cafe excelled with their cafe delights! Good for all ages, all mobilizes too!

The newly constructed facility is truly remarkable and provides a serene ambiance. It effectively presents the profound history of Canoes and the communities that have played a significant role in its growth.The staff members were exceptionally courteous and accommodating.

The Canadian Canoe Museum is awesome! Anyone who has a love for canoeing will enjoy this museum. They have a very impressive collection of canoes. My favourites were Bill Mason's, Pierre Trudeau's, Gordon Lightfoot's, The royal family, and The Starkell's canoes! I will be returning for another visit once the museum moves to the new location on the river. The current building looks a little depressing from the outside but once you get inside you realize how amazing this place is. The only complaint I have is that while I was there, the Gordon Lightfoot plaque with the music wasn't working, so I couldn't hear what the song Canary Yellow Canoe sounds like. This song is hard to find because it is not on Youtube or Spotify or anywhere else on the internet and the only way to hear it is by buying the 4 CD box set that costs $55!. Hopefully they get the speakers fixed soon. When we arrived the person at the front desk gave us a great introduction and he was very excited to see us. We also had the whole museum to ourselves as we were the first to arrive all day. Other people did show up throughout the day. I hope you enjoy the museum as much as I did!

Never really knew that canoes had such a huge contribution to what we are today!Must visit this museum at least once. It's so informative, will definitely widen your perspective.The whole place is beautifully maintained with staff who have a very good knowledge on the subject. Each & every object has detailed information and explains the historical impact & importance.Being an immigrant myself, this place helped me gain so much knowledge about Canadian history. Definitely worth the time for people all ages.Their is also a memoir shop inside with things such as miniature canoes, books & magazines, collectables, t-shirts and so on.Price for an adult is $14 but you can avail a discount if you're a student. My friends definitely did. We paid $28 for the three of us.Totally worth it!

Our visit was fantastic! This museum has wonderful exhibits and attentive staff plus a top notch café.

The Canadian Canoe Museum has become an iconic focus of interest for visitors to Canada, and for good reason. World class displays, nothing like it anywhere else in the world. I'm glad it's in my hometown!

Amazing place. Great displays and the historic canoes and kayaks were fascinating. Just loved the bark canoes

This is a great museum of canoes and kayaks. The self guided tour takes you through the history of these water crafts. There is a nice gift shop as well.

The fact that this museum was only about canoes and nothing else made it a kind of boring and after a while you have the feeling of already having seen everything already. On the other hand it's an awesome service to get in for free on thursdays and the souvenir shop has many things to offer! I think I actually spent more time in there than in the museum itself.

Outstanding !The property is easily accessible. The grounds are still being completed but on the water, walking / biking paths are incorporated. The interior of the building is magnificent. The displays are extremely well done. Keep your eyes open, there are hidden 'gems' throughout. Very impressed and it's well worth the visit.

It's quite an amazing new facility that just opened on May 12, 2024. You can see the history of Canada through many of the old canoes.

The history of indigenous culture was quite interesting and educational. A must see

Amazing museum! The amount of information to learn is great for the avid learner while it can also be consumed in bite sized chunks if necessary.Highly recommend a stop here if visiting the Peterborough area or Southern Ontario.

The Canadian Canoe Museum presents how indigenous peoples and their creation of canoes and kayaks allowed this country to be discovered, mapped, goods transported and communities built. The Hudson Bay company giant transport canoes were mind-boggling!The display on recreational canoeing (and sail canoes!) was great. It was and is a way to see this magnificent country from angles it could not otherwise be seen.The differing styles of dugout, birch bark and wooden strip & plank canoes and seal skin kayaks was amazing. I especially appreciated the extensive information on how different indigenous communities shaped them differently to suit the kind of water they were dealing with.It is also the story of the passion and vision of people who collected & preserved this important part of our history.The gift shop is also wonderful and I bought several gifts - and a comfy Canadian-made sweatshirt for myself. The volunteers were extremely helpful & COVID-19 protocols carefully observed.It was a wonderful outing for myself and my niece. She actually got married there a few years ago. I recommend it if you are in Peterborough.

The new building is amazing and well organized. Brand new building close to water on little lake Peterborough is right location for this museum. Building has well designed and has a lot of open spaces. It’s an excellent place to learn about history of canoeing in Canada. Building surrounding by a lot of green space , water and you can walk around. Also, you rent a canoe and paddle the lake. I’m very excited to visit building more , also, the have a nice cafe you can enjoy food and drink.

Wonderful new building, nice exhibit space. Well laid out, grouping of canoes and other vessels into different subjects/areas. Canoes & similar vessels around the world, Canadian canoes and kayaks, exploration, transportation, recreation, competition.Love the opportunity to see the long-term storage area on the way to the exhibit hall. Books, toys, and some activities for children.Visited just after opening, a few ongoing exhibit improvements are still being made. For example, not all information cards are fully installed yet.

This place is fantastic in the winter. The ice is great, lots of room for everyone to enjoy and its blocked from the wind as the ice is down in the waterway. The ice is maintained well and lots of parking around for everyone. Plan to visit next winter for sure.

More fun than I expected - pretty cool to see the locks in action, but just in general it's in a nice spot, plenty of green space, picnic tables, ample parking, and not too far removed from town. Definitely a good spot for a summer afternoon

We had a good time on the Lift Lock Cruise in Peterborough. Seeing the World's highest hydrolic lift lock was amazing. Being over a hundred years old and still working. Over 77ft lift up in total was epic to experience! Definitely recommend seeing this historical wonder of Canada 🇨🇦 👌 👍 😀

I have been there twice and it’s a must watch . Kids find it intriguing and love to watch the lifts going up and down. You can do picnic as well as watch boats.

The lift lock, itself, really is amazing and I loved watching it in action as well as admiring the design and history of the locks. The reason I didn’t give this site a 5/5 is the parks building that welcomes visitors from the parking lot. Looks like they had to close the building down and it has fallen into disrepair. And I watched as visitors circled the building looking for the washrooms (there are washrooms at the top of the lift locks on the same side of the Trent as the parking lot). There are also picnic tables and lots of places to sit and the parking lot is good.

Well worth a visit even if only as a spectator and not "locking through". Quite a marvel of engineering considering it's age of over one hundred years. Some decent geocaching too if that's your thing...

Don't come to this area often enough but when I do I have a blast. Great area to visit and see how the locks work. It's amazing. I lucked in this trip and got to see about 60 kayakers taking a trip up the Trent.

What an experience! Must stick around for 30 min or so, so that you can see boats going up as well as coming down, and do do this from both levels. If you have more time then you can take the paid (no advance online booking possible) waterway and locks cruise.

Amazing place , worth waiting and watching the Locklift hydronic lift

A truly distinctive piece of architecture. The history is well-preserved and narrated. Although I was unable to visit the museum or theater, it is an incredible location to visit if you are interested in waterway structures and lift locks.

Amazing feat of construction. The Peterborough lift lock was completed in 1904 and is the worlds highest hydraulic lift lock. I recently participated in the lock and paddle ‘23. It was an awesome experience. The staff are super friendly. They answered all my ridiculous tourist questions. Lmao.

Captain Jody is very entertaining during his commentary & interaction with passengers! Whole crew is friendly & attentive & helpful with my mobility & passengers in general. I would highly recommend this cruise for everyone including disabled persons.

Amazing experience to see lock lift in action. Town of Peterborough has a nice charm to it. Good day trip.

Stopped here to visit this landmark on a road trip. The facility was closed for the season however the park was beautiful and we enjoyed a picnic. The waterway is impressive and we enjoyed walking around. The only thing missing were garbage cans anywhere in the park.

Really cool piece of history to go see. Amazing architectural design and engineering..The park is a wonderful place to go for a walk. Not sure if it's wheelchair accessible though.We have the opportunity to climb up all the way to the top. Very cool

Over 100 years of history wrapped up in this mechanical marvel. Tallest lock in the WORLD!! The speed of the links is much faster than I expected and it's a great place to bring a picnic! GORGEOUS view from up top!!

It was my birthday and was an incredible experience, learning about the locks,how they work, the hydronic cylinders,and the system. My partner was right it was better than having balloons, flowers and just sitting blowing candles . It was the first time I have ever seen such a system. Best ever birthday !!

Very exciting lock to travel through. It lifted us quickly. The crew were super helpful and reassuring. The wait to exit caused me a bit of anxiety.

Pretty remarkable that this was built so many years ago and still operates today. Lots of people come from around the world to see it. There's a tunnel underneath that you can drive through and it's a must to blare your horn and accelerate as you pass through.

We took the tour cruise, Google liftlock Cruise for more information. It was a nice experience in my get away trip 😀 love it ❣️

It was inaugurated in 1904 and it took six years to build. After 114 years, it still functions. It is an amazing engineering project.

What a great experience at the lock on Saturday. It's such a marvel! Almost 70 kayakers went through together as part of an event. The staff were so kind and also funny! They were very accommodating to us. Thanks for a great time!

The gentlemen who are operating the locks were amazing folks. They went out of their way to explain to us about how these locks operate.They also had little gifts for the children.Will definitely visit again.Such a beautiful location

Must go at least one, once you go you don’t have to visit the other Lock of Tren-Severn Waterway

Great history of engineering in Canada and the world. 120 years old, largest in the world and still working strong!

What a great place to bring the kids and spend the day! Large open playground with a great selection of activities for all ages. Splash pad is small but lots of fun. The stroll along the woods to see the animals was amazing. the train ride was a bit further away but worth the walk. there is a small $2.00 fee There are mosquitoes neat the snack bar so have bug spray. plenty of picnic tables around to sit and lots of shade from the tall trees. There were washrooms all around and were very clean.

My kids loved it. There are quite a collection of animals and they looked really well taken care of. The area is clean and I would say kid friendly. The playground is really good as well as there’s an option from toddler to big kids to use. The kids enjoyed the splash pad as well. The kids love the train ride and the payment for the ticket is very affordable. You just need to go to the very end of the zoo to ride the train. There is a picnic area and a lot of free parking. There’s a washroom at the entrance of the zoo and at the end as well right pass the waste water treatment plant.

I still can't believe that the zoo was free! It has everything! Animals, craft area, snack shop, little train (that costs $4/adult), 2 playgrounds and a splash pad. If we lived in Peterborough, this would be our go to place. My kids when asked me to move to Peterborough purely because of this place!

Fun family activity. Free parking and admission. We did opt to make a donation, though. Kids enjoyed all the attractions: playground, splash pad, animals and the train ride. Snack Bar was closed for the season (2024), but we brought our own snacks. Lots of shaded picnic tables. We were told the otters are fed at 1:30pm, so you’re guaranteed to see them.

Really nice place. Some nice animals to see. Free entry, free parking. Cant go wrong.

Visit by donation. Very nice park. Lots of clean washrooms. Picnic areas . Train ride to your Right at the end of seeing all the animals near the airplane . Walk down and back to entrance. Park and snack bar , water splash pad. Great zoo for all ages . Best suited for families with younger children. My friend and I took 2 teenagers . They had a good time as well ! Recommended ❤

Fantastic place, you can tell all the animals are so well looked after. Excited to watch the baby dwarf crocodiles grow up over the next while. Snack bar is now open as of Victoria day 2023 and has very fast service.

Beautifully maintained ground and adorable animals. Perfect for an afternoon visit. The canteen is delicious, just be patient with the staff. The train is too cute and honestly refreshing on a really hot day as you cross the water at some point. It’s worth the trip and please don’t forget to donate!

It was our first visit to this park and zoo with our kids, and they were all thrilled. The zoo featured adorable and popular animals that delighted the children. They enjoyed playing in the playground and splashing in the water area. There was also an exciting small train, but the line was long. After 20 minutes of waiting, the kids were too tired to stay, so we decided to leave. The parking was free but it was very crowded.

This is a nice small zoo that all, including families with young children will enjoy. The parking is as is the entrance.

We loved our visit. Very well maintained and free! The landscaping is well done. A great place for a nice walk and the kids enjoyed seeing the animals. The train ride ($2 per person) is amazing - I highly recommend it.

Amazing time. I grew up nearby and I was so happy to be able to bring my own daughter and husband here 💓 we loved seeing the animals and learning about them. The splash pad and playground were great fun! The train ride broke after we waited close to an hour for it but that happens it was out of anyone's control we got a refund and didn't take away from the fun we had. Great place for kids and adults it can get hot and crowded so water and hats are helpful.

Amazing place to spend a Saturday morning. Neat animals to see, great park and splash pad, snack bar and train to ride... all for free! Amazing.

Amazing time at this free zoo..kids loved the camels, llamas, peaco*ck, lynx etc. The splash pad was a hit and kids went crazy! A bit of a drive but such a well maintained zoo and a good spot for a laid back picnic and cheap train ride! Worth a visit with kids.

100% recommend! We visited here as family of 3 (with a 20month old toddler). Cannot believe this gem is for free. Lovely zoo, great splash pad, and a massive playground. There's a $2 fee for the train ride and such a wonderdul experience. We had a great day here and will definitely come back.The zoo has limited amount of animals but still great. The area is very spacious and well-kempt. Thank you so much, Peterborough for this gem!

This is a wonderful place to enjoy with kids. It has a zoo, a train ride, an accessible playground and a tranquil setting that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. The zoo allows free admission.. however, donations are welcome. The entire place is very clean and the animals and birds are well maintained. There are plenty of picnic benches as well.

Awesome zoo. Animals are well taken care of. There's playgrounds hiking trail and open all year. It is also free.

Great experience for my toddler.Lovely place and free visit.Maintained well.Nice area for family gathering

This is a small, accessible, happy place.Great for kids as it's easily walkable to see it all even for little ones. There is a great splash pad and playground. Also the train ride. It can be a quick 1 to 2 hour visit or an all day thing if you wish. A great place.

My family and I went to the zoo with my grandson. I enjoyed the zoo, more than I thought I would. I was very impressed with the knowledge of the staff pertaining to the new bird to the zoo, who was still getting socialized.

I've lived in Peterborough for over 4 years and I just went to the zoo for the first time this past weekend with my boyfriend. The zoo was very clean and there were lots of animals to see. It's completely free of charge to visit and there is free parking. There is a canteen to purchase snacks and refreshments and a train ride for "kids" that cost $2/ride. I went on it and it was a cute date.Also brought my nephew here with my mom and he had a blast.

Playground has something for all ages and even adults. Absolutely loved that it was an accessible playground with interactive play and fun games. They even have a slide that goes into the forest.One of the cleanest parks I have ever seen.The zoo had a great selection of animals and could tell the animals are cared for. Clean grounds and ample amount of picnic benches throughout the property.

This was a excellent zoo to go to with family!Free parking and free admission.They have a little train ride that is $2 per adult, kids under 2 are free. It took us about 3 hours to explore the zoo.Great shade area for lunch with a snack bar or bring your own lunch, and a splash pad.Highly recommend.

Was crossing by the city of Peterborough and noticed this place. Kids loved the animals and it was a nice little break on a long road trip. They evenhave a train ride for kids for a small fee. Overall a great place with no entry fee. Clean and well maintained.

You can watch everything for free. It's such a good park with wild animals and birds. This place is very much enjoyed by the children. There is a train ride available here. Very peaceful. I liked it specially the dancing peaco*ck.

A fun place to spend a day near Peterborough. Entry is free and is open almost all days. There are not many animals to see but the train ride was awesome and kids enjoyed it. Splash pad was a nice touch to cool of the summer heat just before you head out from the zoo.

Amazing experience for a free zoo!Even on a wintery day, we saw a python, camel, otters, monkeys, a giant tortoise, and so much more.The play ground is large and washrooms are available.It was small enough that it was easy to do with a toddler!

This is such a cute place, small but interesting. Its also free, and you can make donations at your discretion. It's especially great if you have kids. There's a good park right next to it! They have cool animals like reindeer, camels, peaco*cks, and meerkats! But also more common animals like pigs, turkeys, tortoises, and snakes. It's definitely stroller or wagon friendly, and there's lots of parking. There isn't an incredible amount of walking to do, so if you want a nice short day out it's perfect.

Absolutely magnificent family spot! We stumbled across this zoo in our search for family-friendly outings and were shocked that it was absolutely free! Lots of friendly animals to see, a large park for those of all ages, a splash pad and even a mini train. The trails are well indicated, the habitats look new and very clean. Thanks for all your hard work!

All this for free?? Thank you to the community for sharing this beautiful park and zoo with us! If I lived in Peterborough I'd be there every week. I didn't get to ride the train so I'll be back!

We love coming here with our daughter. Especially at feeding time. The animals are well looked after and the staff is also around to tell you about the animals too.Plus the train is so cute. We are taking our daughter on her first train ride this summer!Also FREE

Today visited the Riverview Park and Zoo in Peterborough, and it was a delightful experience! This zoo is a fantastic place for families, offering free admission and a variety of animals and attractions that can keep you entertained for hours. The zoo is well-maintained with clean facilities, and the animals seem well cared for, which is always a priority for me when visiting zoos.The layout of the park makes it easy to navigate, and there's plenty of signage to help you find your way around. The highlight for me was the miniature train ride, which offers a fun tour around the park — a hit not only with the kids but with adults too!The park also has excellent playgrounds for children, and the scenic setting by the Otonabee River provides a perfect backdrop for a family outing.Whether you're local or just passing through Peterborough, I highly recommend stopping by the Riverview Park and Zoo for a day of fun and education. It's a great way to enjoy nature and learn about wildlife without breaking the bank.

This is a great place to go when you're tight on a budget as entering the zoo is donation only. There is ample parking that is close to the entrance. The animals look well taken care of and I loved the meerkats. The snack bar and train were not open when I went but I'm sure in the following weeks they'll become available. It was fun for a few hours and entertained my little one. Will definitely come back again!

Wonderful place, good selection of wines, affordable prices. Bought the Cressy Mustard too, tastiest mustard spread ever. Couldn’t explore the vineyards since we visited on a rainy day, but would definitely go back soon!

The winery itself was gorgeous. Lots of space to sit outside and enjoy some wine and lounge. They have swings and other games and some toys for the kids. My only complaint was the fondue experience was a little over priced for what it was. It was cute but would have been nice if it came with a tasting or glass of wine that they paired with the fondue. The barrel room at the back of the property is cute and worth a visit!

A boutique winery with traditional and interesting blends, nice friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff. A nice place to visit on a Sunday drive through Price Edward County..

Great experience at Sandbanks Estate Winery. We were able to get a tasting without any reservation or hassle, and no major line ups. The price is great - $10 for 5 tasting of your choice; there's red, whites, rose, and sweet (ice). Definitely recommend coming here on a trip to the County.

I like wine tastings with food so I went for it. Honestly brownies with wine is meh to my taste, salumi was probably the best snack. I would prefer to pay twice more for better food pairings, not snacks.Wines are not bold enough to my personal taste.Otherwise any winery visit is a pleasure.

We went here mid April therefore I’m sure there is lots more to offer come warmer weather. We loved our experience the lady who assisted us was very kind and knowledgeable. They have an array of snack options too (we choose the popcorn which was amazing). Overall great experience easy to walk in and get a wine tasting. Reasonable price.

Amazing. We purchased a taste tour at the winery. Even though it was during covid, Sandbanks Estate made it just perfect. Our host z Stephanie, was just perfect. Very knowledgeable of the product, very customer expectations oriented, we enjoyed it from first second until the real end. The Sandbanks Estate products are great, well balanced, fairly priced. Two thumbs up to the whole team. We are hoping Quebec SAQ will finally hold the complete product line. It is way too hard to tell which was our favorite, it all depends of the mood you feel and what you are eating. Summer Rose is definitely a wow, the red Shoreline is a safe value. Thanks again for that experience and cheers to Stephanie who made our tour something special.

Nice location.We were offered the self guided tasting, so we didn’t really learn anything.Instructions were confusing…waited at one of the tables, but eventually asked what to do as no one came to see us.The pours were pretty small. 1 oz does not give much of a chance to really taste…but it’s reasonable for the price.The grounds are nice with plenty of chillax places.Having charcuterie and cheese you can purchase is a big plus.In the end…it just wasn’t very welcoming.

Stopping in for a tasting was one of the highlights of our trip. Sandbanks has it so organized on how you pick your wines and the staff are amazing in leading you through the tasting. We were fortunate enough to have Susan leading our tasting. She was the loveliest person and just a joy to spend some time with. Honestly, we want to come back just because of how amazing Susan was!The wine is really quite good and the bottles are super reasonable in terms of pricing. We went home with 7 bottles we are super excited to enjoy over the summer months.

Went here last week of May and enjoyed the wine tastings. They have a very nice patio. The weather was pleasant and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We tried some of their winery exclusives and quite enjoyed Piquette, b17, noir, and Prosecco (favorite). Others were decent. Wine tours start in June.

Spacious, helpful/friendly staff, and dog friendly. Several different areas on the grounds with tables and chairs; one area even has hanging chairs which is cool. There's a dog park right next door where you can bring your drink. The staff were very helpful and informative while I was deciding on what wines to order. There was even a food truck on site that day with things like grilled cheese sandwiches, lobster rolls, and charcuterie boards. Highly recommend this winery for groups of all sizes!

I found the wine tasting to be very expensive for the quality and quantity of what you receive. The tastings are $10 and you only get 3 options to try. They waive the fee if you buy THREE bottles. That's a bit extreme. The check out experience was also very slow as all the prices were incorrect in the system. The lady had to change them all, then the wine tasting showed up as $6 and she sat there doing the math of how much to charge us to bump the price up to $10 for about 5 minutes. This was after our group spent over $100 at the shop.The whole experience was not great, I wouldn't go back.

A beautiful and well kept winery where it’s easy to spend a few hours wine tasting and chilling in the sun.The staff is quite friendly and the setup to taste the wine is really nice.Whether you choose to sample a few glasses on the large patio or to go all in with the snack and wine dégustation , there’s options for every budget!I will definitely go there again eventually

LOVE Sandbanks! We end our yearly tour here. Great wine, friendly, fun, knowledgeable staff and many places to sit, sip, and relax!I've ordered wine online as well! Very quick and convenient.See you next year!!

We visited this place while we were camping at the sandbanks this summer. I have tried their wines before at the LCBO but always wanted to visit this place. They have wine garden and patio as well. Unfortunately they were not doing the tours that day but we did the sampling. You could do it outside in the lawn area or you can just sit inside. We choose the outside option as the weather was great. We did 3 samples each which was i think 5.99 or 6.99. They also have some exclusive samples that can only be tried at the winery. Oh and I have to say that their toilets are very clean and they also a giant jenga at the entrance that anyone can play. We spent about a couple of hours their. Overall nice aesthetic and environment.

This was a charming winery. I did the guided tasting for a bachelorette, as well as a mini self-guided tasting. It's great for being dog-friendly and the outdoor area is clean and comfy. The selection of wines for the tasting is impressive. However, our guide, as lovely as she was, spent more time telling us about her personal life than the wines. I wish it were more educational!

Loved that this place had an EV charger so we could relax with some wine while charging. They do not have food service during the week but they have a fridge with some meats and cheeses with crackers in the store that you can purchase to create your own charcuterie board. They provide knives and boards for you to prepare your meats and cheeses on. They had wine flights with 3 tastings of your choice for $6 which I thought was a decent deal. The wines are good but I didn’t have a favorite to where I wanted a bottle to take home. Friendly service and lots of outdoor seating. Would recommend!

Lovely grounds to enjoy a flight and sample some great wines. They have a large selection and the service is friendly and helpful. Their store is also nice with several winery exclusive bottles to purchase. There is lots of outdoor space for kids to run around. Do not expect to have food options when you come. Best to eat beforehand.

We had an amazing time sipping wine and enjoying a nice fire pit over looking the vineyard. We also tried a selection of curd cheese, banana chips, cured meats and truffle and Parmigiana popcorn.We had a beautiful sunny warm Saturday by enjoying the simpler things in life. Service was spot on and lots of great food items to enjoy as well. They have a great selection every time we pass through. The service was great and everything was nice and clean inside. We also enjoying stopping in and stocking up for the season!

My wife and I decided on a St. Patrick’s Day visit to Prince Edward County. Marcus, a friend of mine, strongly suggested we visit Karlo Estates. We booked our time and arrived to a classic old barn, with an intimate setting inside gorgeously decorated!Our hostess who directed us through our wine that day was Sarah. After she introduced my wife Andrea & I to the local celebrity, Little Bug the 14 year old cat, she told us some of the history of the barn, the winery, as well as the vegan focus of the production.She walked us through flights of wine, and was very knowledgable about each one of them sharing her personal descriptions of their character.After chatting for a while with other clients, and Sarah, we purchased some beautiful wine and then finished off the visit by wandering through the property.We will most definitely be sharing our experiences with friends, and will certainly be back.Thank you Sarah for a wonderful experience.

Very unassuming place for wine tasting in a good way so in terms of atmosphere it was a neat place. Service was friendly. They don’t really have a food menu - I would say more snacks. Wine was okay (reds were not affordable to buy by the bottle and their cheapest red was a Pinot noir for $39 which was too youthful).

We came here for a wine tasting as a small group and were seated in the speakeasy which was really beautiful! The wine and service was really good, as was the cheese tray. The only complaint I have is the $15 corkage fee they charged when we bought a bottle to share. I've only ever been charged corkage fees with bring your own wine so I found it strange that a winery would charge one when selling their own wine, to be consumed on premise.

I had a fantastic time with my cousins yesterday at Karlos Estates Winery. It was my first time seated in the Red room ..what we called it and it was such a cozy space. The owner came to our table and explained the pairings from the nibbler platter perfectly and offered us complementary nachos with salsa until it arrived... a personal touch that made our experience even more fantastic! This is always my first stop with visitors on my wine tour!

Me and my partner went to Karlo Estates for our anniversary and were blown away by the experience. We are vegan and were excited to try out a winery with various food options. Not only was the wine and food delicious, but the location was stunning and everyone we met was super welcoming and accommodating! The inside has a speakeasy vibe and there's a lot to explore outside. We loved the experience and will definitely be coming back in the future!

Had a great time here with my friend. We went on a Saturday night and there was a live concert. We had a shareable plate and it was enough for the both of us. Both the wine we tried and the food were good!

Wow! What an experience in the speakeasy wich I thought was a door to a cupboard.You have to go. Even if you think you are lost, go.The wines are miam, and staff so friendly.And the ambiance, the place, just go.

This winery is more than a winery. It’s a place to come home to. My sister and I visited three times throughout our weekend in the county, and we felt so welcomed and cozy. Doug, LA and all of the staff were so lovely, caring and welcoming. We had an awesome chat with Doug and LA about wines, travel and just some other stuff. By the end of the weekend, it felt like we’d known them for years. The wine is exceptional and the people are even better. We will definitely be back. Thank you Doug and LA for making our weekend fabulous. Oh, and Friday night trivia with Ethan, the county queen, was so much fun and cozy. Definitely recommend!

Karlo Estates was legitimately the highlight of my trip to the county. I had a great time visiting them and I already look forward to the next time going back!When we first got to the winery, at the parking lot, we had a little fun encounter with a dog owner who was trying to get his new puppy out of the cars she was hiding underneath in. After we successfully got the puppy out (thank goodness!), us and the dog owner just had the most amazing time chatting inside the bar area of the winery. It was such a beautifully decorated speakeasy. Not only the wine collection was tasty, the hostess LA was super friendly + attentive. We felt like we were just hanging out with some long time friends there and hours gone by just like that!Thank you LA, thank you Karlo Estates for giving me such an incredible + memorable afternoon.

Not to be missed. Rustic, yet rich, elegant, and unique with old-world charm. A sensual pleasure. The choices of wine and food pairings were not only well thought out, they by far exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was a step back in time to an era of decadent delights afforded only the most discerning.

Lovely wine tasting atmosphere! I wouldn’t say these are our favourite wines in the world, but they do a great job given Ontario climate.

This was the most unexpected but beautiful winery we've been to. The exterior may look like a run down old barn, but interior is so beautiful. They've really done a fantastic job putting it together. There are 3 areas where you can do the tastings. Bar, back patio, and a speakeasy bar. Very tasteful. The staff is very friendly, inviting, and knowledgeable. My suggestion: stick to the wine and avoid the food. Three witches white wine was our favorite. Van Alstine fortefied white wine was also good.

This place is just amazing. This old barn does not disappoint, probably the absolute best tasting room experience. Unique and memorable wines, paired with knowledgeable staff to enhance your experience. Go check it out.

Karlo Estates was amazing! We went there for a 5 wine tasting and found the experience incredibly memorable.Rather than try a few wines by the bar we were brought down to their speak easy and had a seat on a couch where we were treated to multiple wines each explained by very friendly and knowledgeable staff (thanks Doug! You were awesome!)We also got the vegan cheese platter and as non vegans - it was delicious!Definitely recommend this place for wine tasting as opposed to many of the other “traditional” spots.

We had a really fun time visiting this winery. The service was a tad on the slower side, as they were very busy, but they more than made up with their recommendations. Their sweeter port style fortified wines were terrific, some of the best I've had.

Wonderful wines, fantastic vibes. The wines themselves may be the best in the area (imo).HOWEVER, watch out for the extremely aggressive sales tactic. The lady first introduced their most popular wines, as wineries usually do, but then she proceeded to pour one for EACH of us without asking if we all wanted to try it; that’s $4/pour. And for each wine one of us mentioned, she assumed all 4 of us wanted one.And towards the end, it was blatantly obvious that we have to keep track of our tastings. When we checked out, as expected, we were quoted 2 more tasting than we expected. She even half pretended to be confused so we might possibly buy a third bottle.A word to the owners: your wine is great, they will very likely sell themselves. The environment was very much enticing us to stay and spend more money. The sales tactics completely turned us off. If you sense your customers are not liking what you’re doing, just stop it please. You won’t be getting a repeat customer from us, which is unfortunate.*edit* thank you for the kind words from the owner. We truly appreciate the effort from such a successful establishment

Corinne and Paige had all smiles on when we walked in and greeted us with a very friendly attitude. The facility is very cool with the old barn and the red velvet couches in the secret room! There’s so much Character to this winery make sure it is a must see. The property is amazing and the wines are truly well-made. Lots of wines from their estate, which we like to see on menus. It felt family run rather than commercially overpowering which my wife and I seek.

First winery experience and it was a good one! Be aware all snacks are vegan. The snacks were as good as they could be- hard to replace real cheese and charcuterie meats!Staff were attentive, warm, and knowledgeable about the wines on offer. “Speak easy” room was cozy and full of character. The perfect spot to warm up on a windy fall day. Definitely worth the visit !

I had an absolute wonderful time here all by myself. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the wine was absolutely delicious. I loved the environment and I truly did not want to leave. I look forward to going back!

Stumbled upon this gorgeous winery. Went on Father’s Day (Sunday) without a reservation for some wine tasting.They have a fully vegan brunch and food menu (including different kinds of cheese) which is an added surprise.The staff were very very courteous and we had a memorable time.

A very attractive place to taste the best wines. 🍷👌Very good behavior of the staff, especially Joel.Being very hospitable. In addition to its first class wines, it also had good food.I ordered the veggie burger and the blueberry pie, both of which were delicious.To taste any wine (from the cheapest to the most expensive), you only need to pay 4 dollars.I recommend this place to everyone. Be sure you will not regret going here.

One of the best wine experiences I’ve ever had! Nothing short of spectacular. LA was an amazing hostess and provided detailed insight on each wine offered. The place has an unique barn vibe to it with a beautiful trail towards the mini bridge. I’m definitely returning after today’s experience!

Went for the mimosa and pancake brunch.Such a great vibe and good food.Can't wait to return.

I'm not going to review the wine other than to say all of the wines we tasted at Karlo's were excellent with a wide and interesting variety.What I'm going to review is everything else around the wine. Firsty the 1800s barn this winery is set in is spectacular visually and very well set up with vintage furniture. Then off the main bar is the speak easy, cozy, inviting, and homely.An unexpected surprise.Next and as importantly are the people that work there. Wonderfully personable, knowledgeable, friendly, and non intrusive.The atmosphere in the speakeasy is family, warming, and whimsical.They have local artists play in the speakeasy regularly, but it doesn't need them. It's a perfect way to spend time with great company, great surroundings, and great staff.If you are within a 3 hour drive, go, please! You will not be disappointed! But reserve! It should be busy.

Came here Sunday afternoon with 2 guests for the first time. I've been to several vineyards in PEC since moving here in the spring, and this was hands-down the best experience (customer service, amenities, wine quality). The setting was very charming and the converted barn was just the right balance of rustic and upscale. Paige was an incredible host and led our tasting with just the right amount of information. A big bonus is the fact that it's a vegan vineyard, so anyone can enjoy fully. Between the 3 of us we purchased 6 bottles! I've never had a Chardonnay I loved as much as Karlo's. I can't wait to bring future guests back.

Beautiful little spot to go for a walk especially if you are staying in the Ramada hotel nearby.The park has a really nicely maintained cement path as well as a large fenced dog park area.

The dog park is great! Dogs & people like it there. Dress warmly because wind off the bay is cold!

Hands down one of my favorite trails to do in Belleville! Especially for cycling and at dusk!🌌🖤💜💙🤍This trail is smaller than some of the other ones around town but it's still gorgeous nonetheless and a decent ride and pretty big walk if you do the entire Zwicks trail. For light walkers or strollers I suggest starting with this side and if it's not enough then do the whole loop. This side is the opposite of the children's park so it's normally not as busy and more quiet, but it depends on the day and if anything is going on down there. There's also the dog park on this side but it's all fenced off and is only a fraction of it.During the winter the top of the main hill is one of us locals favorite spots to toboggan too!Overall for Belleville it's a perfect little park on both sides of Zwicks with a little bit of everything for everyone of all ages. If your visiting Belleville and want one in town I highly recommend this one and Riverside Park as well. Both have beautiful trails along the water and both have parks for the kiddos

Say what you will about Belleville. Yes it’s a small town but it’s location more than makes up for it! What can be so bad when you’re right next door to Prince Edward County? 🥳The area by the bridge is full of plentiful green space and waterfront. It’s very pleasant. 👍😎

This is a pretty big park and is also dog friendly. They can go off leash. I went for a morning walk and there were several dogs and their owners walking in the park. The surrounding area is picturesque too and there are some area where there nicely landscaped, making it a very nice place to exercise. The path is wide and the place is well maintained. I did not see any homeless people so I assume it is safe too.

I mainly go down to the dog park with my boy, Bogan. The lighting at the park makes it almost useless at night, because there us none. On our walks around zwicks, the trail is well lit with many benches and picnic tables to stop and take in the views.

It is a beautiful large park for walking and relaxing with the family. I went in autumn and it was beautiful with all the colors. Parking is free. Several portable toilets and soccer fields. Scenic picnic spaces and a playground.

Good for small time break.- Includes dog park.- lake view- great sunset view- really good bicycle trail- parking- Did not find park washroom easily

Great trails for walking or biking. It connects over the bridge to the Waterfront trail in Belleville which goes all the way to the east of Belleville as well as to the North. Very safe way to get around Belleville. The trails are well maintained and all of them are very smooth except for one section behind the hospital.

We did a 450km day trip to visit the park, after watching a TV documentary about it. The park facilities were not open yet but we could walk the dunes. We practically had the dunes to ourselves and spend a good 3 hours walking around and had some lunch on one of the higher dunes with some good views. It was very windy so didn't see much animal life. Overall feeling I think the TV show was more impressive but we still enjoyed the silince between the dunes.

View-wise it is breathtaking! Anyone who enjoys beaches or swimming or open views or fresh air from the lake won’t be disappointed! The water is not deep, perfect for family with kids. It’s already warm in the shallow end at the end of June.Facility-wise, the park has campgrounds with shady and open surroundings, washrooms and showers with hot water as all provincial parks do in Ontario. The water temperature and faucet can use some work, but generally functional and useful.

Just a spectacular place to explore, relax, and do great outdoor activities. Did a nice 40km gravel bike ride a bit through the park . . . Perfect for out and back. The next day did a huge hike over the dunes to the highest point that offered an amazing 360 view of all the scrub. Went down to the beach on the south side and had some equally great views. Dress for sand. They're not joking with the name.

It can be about three hours of driving to Sandbanks Provincial Park from Toronto, especially if you're off the 401 (which I prefer for a more relaxing drive). But I like to visit at least once a year because the sand dunes on the namesake beach make this different from any other beach within day trip distance. Dunes beach is a dramatic setting and fun to hike. However, the Outlet beach is much better for hanging out with its deep sand shore and for swimming with its long gradual drop off into the water. My favourite amongst the three is Lakeshore beach. It's amazingly long although there's not much space between the back sand mounds and the water but the drop off in the water is also long and gradual. It feels like I'm on a real vacation with the expansive view of the lake. I didn't go on a weekend and it wasn't too many people. Keep in mind that there are NO lifeguards and exercise appreciate care. Share a car to get the best entrance value. Enjoy!

It might be a good place to enjoy the beach, but not friendly with hikers especially when it is a sunny hot day. No tall trees, shade along the trail. We were like dying hiking.

We go camping every year, and Sandbanks is one of our favourites.We went to Cedars campground and it does not have electricity, which is fine for us. Free water supply is nearby, and shower+washroom facility and within a 1-minute walk and clean.The beach is beautiful and long.There are also hiking trails that are not difficult.There is a convenience store and restaurant on site. Prices are fair.You will not be disappointed.

We spent three nights at Sandbanks in the Woodlands section. As the name implies this area is heavily wooded providing lots of shade. The outer rim provides more privacy. The comfort station was well maintained, as well as the campground and beach. If you’re into kayaking or canoeing, I highly recommend doing the channel that connects East Lake to Lake Ontario. The one disappointment was there was very little wildlife, accept for beautiful Swans. If you’re into bicycling be sure to bring your bicycles, as the roads through the park are paved. There are no lifeguards.

One of the best provincial parks by far! Only 3:30h from Hamilton, we were a group of 10ppl and we had a blast! Areas were clean, and bathrooms and showers were always clean! noise at night and the rangers were always around making sure everything was good and safe for everyone!

My recent visit to Sandbanks Provincial Park was an enjoyable experience with some areas that could benefit from improvement.Pros:Spacious Campsites: The Woodlands site area features excellent, large wooded sites that provide a great level of privacy and a serene atmosphere.Dog-Friendly Beach: The park offers a friendly dog beach where pets are welcomed. It would be even better if dogs were allowed off-leash at this location.Great Showers: The comfort stations have great showers, providing a refreshing end to a day of outdoor activities.Water Activities: The park has some beautiful spots for canoeing and kayaking, especially the outlet channel. The dunes are also a highlight, offering a stunning and unique landscape.Cons:Park Signage and Information: There is a noticeable need for better park signage and a detailed campground map. Clearer information on bike paths, including their length and level of difficulty, would be very helpful if when more accessible.Rental Information: The wording regarding rentals, including days and hours of availability, needs to be posted.Staff Training: The staff could benefit from better training to ensure they can provide accurate directions and information to campers.Comfort Stations: The floors in the comfort stations can be dangerously slippery. This is an area that needs immediate attention to ensure camper safety.Overall, Sandbanks Provincial Park is a beautiful destination with much to offer. With a few improvements in signage, staff training, and safety measures, it could provide an even better experience for visitors.

Really loved Sandbanks park. We were fortunate to visit on a warm October day when the park was virtually empty. The beach is stunning and my wife and I had it virtually to ourselves. We also walked one of the hiking trails and we’re very impressed. I understand this place is jam packed in the summer so recommend visiting off season!

Sandbanks has always been one of my favourite beaches to go to! It's gotten more and more popular over the years so it gets quite busy. I recommend buying a reservation online because in the summer months the park will close early because it's at max capacity. Great beach and water! The hiking trails are great too!

Loved this park! It is HUGE! The beach is massive with a great dog beach as well. Can get very busy however we didn't have any issues. We had a site in a forested area, which was great, however some of the field sites not in the forest didn't feel as private.

Very beautiful and serene beach, and clean too. Impressive shoreline almost competing against Caribbean beaches. It’s advisable to book the parking online in advance. Get there early to beat the rush on weekends.

Had such a wonderful time here, there’s three different sandy beaches to have a great picnic, watch sunset, play games and good swim. Highly recommended, Better buying parking pass in advance.

Sandbanks is beautiful! We stayed in Outlet-A and had a wonderful experience. We were close enough to the bathrooms and I was super happy about this park having showers! All camping spots are pretty decent in size, ours wasn’t super private and backed onto another site so we parked one of our cars sideways to create more privacy. The beaches are dog friendly which was another plus! The only downside is that you have to keep your dogs on-leash; I recommend the long 50-ft+ ones so your dog can actually run and enjoy the water. We had guests complain numerous times about dogs being off leash… crazy but maybe don’t go to a dog beach if you don’t want to see dogs off leash 🤷🏼‍♀️ Besides that, it’s a wonderful place to camp with friendly staff. The water on the beach is SO clear and you can walk out pretty far before it gets deep; great place for families that way! The sunsets on the beach are also super pretty. Would definitely camp here again!

We stayed at Sandbanks in mid-October in the Woodlands Campground for 3 nights. Because it was late in the season, we chose a full sun site in order to stay warmer. The site, 608, was spacious and was easy to get our 30’ travel trailer into place. The one strange thing about the electric (30/20 amp) was that the pole for the site also serviced the adjacent site. In our case, the pole was on the curb side of our trailer. Although it worked because of our long cord, I would have liked to choose a site based which side the pole was on. I am not sure this information is available specifically on the reservation website or if it is an look e too o be discerned from the pictures of the site. Of the campgrounds that were open, this campground was the best suited for larger trailers and RVs. There was another campground that was not open that looked promising. The older campgrounds would have been fun for me back when I was tent camping many with some direct beach access. The restrooms and showers were clean and had plenty of hot water and pressure. The one drawback was the button that needed to be pushed to continue the water flow. We really enjoyed exploring the park and the surrounding area. I really appreciated that the park provided dog friendly areas at the beaches. The beaches were expansive and the dunes were beautiful. The area has a large number of wineries, 35 in Prince Edward County. There was services such as a grocery store, bank, and gas station with diesel in Wellington about a half hour away. The cell service at the campground was not reliable. 1 bar of Verizon. I would definitely return to this park although I suspect that it is a much different place in the height of beach season.

Great park to visit and walk around. It’s quite big so having a sense of where things are will help with navigating. Very clean and well kept.

Un parc très agréable, une immense plage de sable et une eau chaude et cristalline, les emplacements pour le camping sont de bonnes tailles.Seuls les blocs sanitaires pourraient nettoyer un peu plus régulièrement mais avec l'achalandage estival, on ne peut pas vraiment espérer mieux.En plus, les chiens sont les bienvenus et une plage leur est ouverte.Si j'avais cependant un bémol, il faut un véhicule pour quasiment tout ici, Picton est à 20 minutes de route, même la plage pour les chiens est relativement loin des emplacements de camping.(Translated by Google)A very pleasant park, a huge sandy beach and warm, crystal clear water, the camping pitches are a good size.Only the toilet blocks could be cleaned a little more regularly but with the summer traffic, we can't really hope for better.In addition, dogs are welcome and a beach is open to them.If I had a downside though, you need a vehicle for almost everything here, Picton is a 20 minute drive, even the dog beach is relatively far from the campsites.

Wonderful trails for 3-wheel cycling, with a diversity of landscapes and ecological zones!! We ride recumbent tricycles, and with the exception of a few very sandy spots on the road-side multi-use path between Outlet and Woodland / Dunes, the trails were firm and sufficiently wide for our trikes. The only place where surprisingly there is *not* a proper and safe bike/trike/walking trail, was the 200+ metre distance across the front of the main Park Office, information building (closed), and the staff parking area. Caution along that portion is recommended, as one is forced to ride on the pavement and there is a blind corner on the vehicle road before regaining the designated trail through the woods. All trails away from the main connector roads, however, were excellent, although a little centre-overgrown (for 40”-wide trikes) across some of the former agricultural areas. Our visit was quite early in the Park’s season (May 30, June 01), and hopefully some trail grooming is still to be undertaken. Overall, a great Park, with lots to see, do, and enjoy!!

Very beautiful park, quite large and though we stayed relatively early on in the season it was busy but not at full capacity so I can only imagine how busy this place gets with over 800 sites

Had a great time at Sandbanks Provincial Park. Lots of room to move around and everyone was well behaved. It was very clean and not that noisy even though there were a lot of people. I would tell people to either go early or pay for the parking if you’re going late. A lot of people got turned away around noon on a Saturday who didn’t have a paid parking pass. Also, make sure to read what you can and cannot bring. The park rangers came around and handed out tickets for bringing the wrong type of bbq. Bring a tent or something that will provide shade, as the sun was very hot and the sand as well. Other than that, it was a great day and time and look forward to going back.

Lovely beaches, shallow shores, clean sand. Great way to spend your weekend on the beach, relax with family, enjoy the sun while you can. Protip: get your day permits online and that'll save you from waiting in lines at the gate. Clean restrooms, changing stations, cafes and ample parking. Perfect getaway.We also camped at one of the sites, loved it. Will be back soon.

Stretches of long white sand beaches, beautiful clean water and dunes to play in, hard to believe Sandbanks is in Ontario. Off season a quiet place to walk dogs off leash and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Sandbanks provincial Park was absolutely beautiful! I went during the peak of the summer, when it was one of the hottest days of the month, so the beaches were incredibly busy! If you want to get a good spot, I do recommend to go early! I didn’t end up spending that much time at the beach, I decided to take the trails, and I’m so glad I did! The sandbanks dune Trail wasmostly sand, so make sure you have decent footwear! It was quite the challenge on such a day, but made the dip in the water that much better at the end of the day! The beach was fairly shallow, so great for kids!

The Sandbanks are one of my favourite places for summer camping.The Dunes beach is walking distance ( by trail ) from the far campsites with hydro.There is washrooms / showers on site.The Dunes beach has a playground, volleyball and washrooms. There is parking available.If you have paid for camping your day parking is included.Great place for overnight camping for beginners.

We love going here every summer. Outlet beach is always packed during summer weekends so go by 10 am or at 3 pm. We love climbing the sand dunes at Sandbanks Dunes Beach. Lots of trails and lots to do. I suggest you book a day pass and preregister. This way you will always have access.

I visited during the fall (the last weekend before the park’s winter closure) and it was beautiful to see the blue water contrasted with the warm colours of fall leaves. There are a few shorter hikes you can do, making it a great place to stop for the day. Would recommend the Dunes Trail and Lakeview Trail. Very interesting to see the dunes. I brought my dog and it’s one of the few parks with a significant beach area where dogs are permitted. Use Google Maps to find the trail heads because that’s 1 thing the park map is missing.

Gone camping for the weekend! This park is incredibly beautiful, quiet, clean, and the staff are super friendly. It's a long stretch of clear, unsalty water and the sand dunes are super fun to walk around in! The water is quite shallow, and there are tiny fish swimming with you. 🐟The campsites are cute, with toilets and access to showers a few minutes drive or walk away. The outhouses don't have sinks, but there are water taps nearby to wash your hands, or bring sanitizer or wipes with you.There are lots of parking for day use or camping, and the camping store & adjacent restaurant will have everything you need during your peaceful getaway! Toiletries, beach toys, camping essentials, etc., are available if you forgot to pack something.Park rangers make sure everyone is respectful and having a good time.The 3 hours drive from Toronto is worth the drive, and I will certainly make future trips back!

This is an amazing place for family camping. Soft sand, lots of trails and clean facilities like shower rooms with hot water. Breathtaking views are another benefit for you.

I really love Sandbanks campsite and beaches. You need to make sure you book your campsite prior to your visit and if you’re visiting for the day, make sure to buy the day-use pass online since they sell out very fast during summertime.I love the beaches here. The public use beach is busier than the beach at the campsite, but both are equally enjoyable since they have shallow sandy beaches.The park is well-maintained and washrooms and garbage bins are available.

This beautiful blue water beach was super crowded on a sunny day. The water wasn’t so cold and you could easily swim or play. Outlet beach is usually crowded so we always go to Dunes beach. The campsites were pretty close to the beach and you could easily walk around. Restrooms are not so clean, but manageable. Try to reach early to reserve a good spot under the shades.

Excellent place to camp! The weather was a bit chilly, but I’m sure if it’s August that will be just fine. I would suggest booking in advance as this place is very popular!

First time at sandbanks and went after a rainy camping weekend. It was the first nice sunny day, but extremely windy. To my surprise, it was still full of life and people enjoying the sun, water etc…The park seems great, haven’t have enough time to visit all around, but spent some times at the outlet beaches where you can walk all along the beach. And also decided to go the dunes beach too. The water at the dunes is less nice, but it’s fun and seems a little more secluded.Loved the experience overall, I am def going back next year and recommend going for a beach day with friends

A nice place for a one day visit with family and/or friends. Some days are windy during the spring and summer season.

A cool park where you can see Lake Ontario and then Lake on the Mountain around 60m above that (you really understand the name when you see it). I’d say it’s probably not worth a long drive but definitely worth a stop if it’s on your way. A new viewing deck is being built currently

Perfect little pit stop with quite the view. Pack a picnic or grab a coffee nearby and head back for a little sit or short walk.

Amazing view that a lake is just next to your step though it was cold and windy in early April.

Awesome place to go out for a evening dinner with stunning lake view patio. Should visit this place for a peaceful time and good food. I enjoyed my visit a lot.

Beautiful, but the sign that used to be there is gone.

A favourite spot to relax and catch a breeze off the lake

A magical lake high above Lake Ontario. Clear, clean water. A great stop in Prince Edward County. The only thing is there is a requirement to have a Canada Parks parking permit on your car, but no way to print it from the internet - doesn’t make sense.

Very nice view and interesting historyTwo small restaurants nearby or bring a lunch..there are a few picnic tablesA nice spot off the main grid

Amazing view on the lake! And such a unique lake. Sadly no trail around the lake, as everything is private property

A must visit corner of Ontario. Walk around the lake or drive the roads around with amazing inns and cottages for night's stay. Lots of big enough towns around but make the lake area your hub

We went from Toronto, almost 2 hours drive. It doesn’t worthy. It was just small lake and few tables. It’s exactly the same as photo that I shared. It’s good for local people that not need to drive hours.

It's a nice place to stop, but I didn't find it as impressive as it sounded. I wouldn't recommend making a trip from Toronto to see it, but if you're visiting the area (e.g., at Sandbanks), then it makes sense to add it to your itinerary.The brewery down the road is pretty nice, though!

On a whim we booked brunch … what an enchanting spot! Hands down, the best Eggs Benny (with smoked salmon) ever. Eggs cooked to order, perfectly. Potatoes cooked without pork fat, as requested. Beautiful grounds to explore. Lovely wine tasting.

Thank you for accommodating a 3 year old full of energy within this high end dinner experience. Adults enjoyed the food and views while trying to supervise the 3 year old running around the Vinyard, and visiting all the farm animals a couple of timesThe food was impressive, the staff very pleasant and accommodating. Only criticism is the duck for the main meal being a bit too salty, but otherwise amazing.

We visited this winery three years ago (pre-Covid times) and loved it so much then that we returned this week when we were in the area and we’re pleasantly surprised with the new additions! The main building/store continues to be great with its excellent wine choices, store items and ice cream/chocolate venue. Outdoors is now also set up as a tasting spot where people were having a great time. Further down by the lake is now the greatest food truck with fun wine-based drinks and the greatest view of the water on a shaded patio. We had the smash burger which was one of the best I’ve ever had!! (I’m seriously thinking of driving five hours to go back to get another!!). The sangria was a great choice to pair with this. What a great way to spend an afternoon!!

I recently coordinated a wedding at Waupoos and it was lovely! The staff are efficient and friendly. Not to mention the breathtaking scenery! I would absolutely recommend this venue to clients and would love to work here again!Photos by Kassandra Melnyk

We were the second table to arrive at Waupoos Estates today for lunch and by the time we left, it was beginning to fill up. We loved everything about this place! Chef Scott and GM, Damian were lovely and amazing hosts. The price fix lunch menu was well worth every dollar. That homemade sourdough pita bread and the very special butter was a lovely starter. Loved the fired roasted Swiss chard salad with lemon gribiche, Fifth Town Parmesan and perch roe. To die for!!! This perch was so very very fresh and was caught within a km from where Chef Scott’s team cooked it! I don’t like lake fish but as of TODAY...I love perch! Chef Scott gave me some tips on how to “liven up" the flavour and firm up the texture of a fresh piece of lake fish. The seasonal estate grown squash, goat cheese and pickled red onion soup was so tasty. Not a drop left in all three beautiful shallow pottery bowls. Their rendition of apple pie but made with puff pastry, roasted apples, crême fraiche and my favourite part, freshly picked lavender buds and tiny chiffonade of sage! The flower and herb were HUGE game changers for me. Dessert went so well with Damian’s perfect Americano.Lovely and delicious pairing:GEWÜRZTRAMINER SKIN CONTACT 2020Amazing aromas of lychee dominate the profile. Notes of grapefruit rind, rose water, honied cantaloupe and hints of spice complete the profile. The aromas carry to the palate – refined and not overwhelming with a zesty finish.We enjoyed every single course. If you’ve been to Waupoos, you know how that dining room echos. Well, my moans from all of the deliciousness consumed could be heard throughout I’m sure! I can’t pick a favourite course as they were all equally amazing! This place has it all. Beautiful view of the lake and vineyard too.Will we be back soon? HARD YES!!!

Enjoyed our visit to Waupoos Estates and Winery in PEC. The property has a beautiful view overlooking Lake Ontario. Great venue for weddings and photography.

Very nice building, lots of wine! Sorry for the three stars but just when I entered a winery with hopes of asking some specific questions on choosing a wine, there was only one staff in the room and she was so busy with pouring tastings. And looked much too young to answer my questions. I'm sure if we had come at a different time it would have been different. It could be other staff were occupied with the restaurant and outdoor seating's. It is a winery with lots to offer and I do not wish to dissuade anyone from visiting. It just wasn't my day!

This is a very moce facility, spacious, bright, and modern.Quite a selection to pick from for tastings. However, it would have been nice if the server had (or perhaps just shared) more knowledge of the wines being tasted. If that was the case, this easily would have been a 5 Star reiew.

Had a wine tasting and lunch at the winery. The staff were knowledgeable, interested in learning, helpful and wanting us to have a good experience. The setting is lovely. They are really moving toward a destination winery.

We went for a wine tasting/ tour and lunch, unfortunately it was raining..so we couldn’t go outside for the tour. BUT we had a host named Bill who was amazing! SO funny and knowledgeable he kept us laughing and entertained. We will be back for sure!!

Visited in October 2023. Great winery! The Waupoos area is very scenic and worth a visit. We went for wine tasting and also had a charcuterie board. I would definitely come back to also try their restaurant.

What an absolutely incredible experience! The poutine was unbelievably good—so flavorful and satisfying. The spaghetti was mouthwatering, and every aspect of our visit was perfect. Our server was exceptional, providing top-notch service. A definite 10/10 dining experience!

After doing some research, we decided to go to Waupoos for our anniversary dinner. We ended up being early - about 20 min before our reservation- but they got us in. The menu had a decent selection, and everything we had was delicious. They got my appetizer wrong, but were quick to fix it. The wine we had was wonderful. Would definitely recommend, and would definitely go back! I imagine that the summer with dining outside would be really nice!

1st time having brunch lakeside tasting and amazingly was not disappointed but happily filling. Paired wine goes well with the food we ordered. Thanks to our friendly waitress and her service was well received. Definitely a fantastic meal before leaving this beautiful winery with a satisfying stomach.

Good option for wine tasting. They have really nice backyard open sitting area

Great brunch menu, amazing presentation, view and tastes. Service is very kind and friendly. One of the best places to eat when in PEC.

First time visiting here and it was an experience. Large estate with so many areas to sit and rest and/or eat. Great selection of wines in all colours and types. We took our flights outside and sipped them on the balcony overlooking the estate. Knowledgeable staff who guided us to sample towards our likes. Purchased a number of bottles to enjoy for later. We wandered around and saw bins of apple mash. They have a nice lunch spot near the water with comfortable seating where you can dream the day away. Big white tents I'm certain used for weddings or special events. Everything is so well maintained. If you're in the area, take some time to visit. We'll be returning for certain.

as a wine enthusiast, my best friend and i decided to do a girls weekend and taste some local wine, and experience local farm to table. Waupoos exceeded all our expectations! our amazing server, Abby, was so informed about the wine and the food, had us giggling and her service was above and beyond what we expected. She took her time explaining the wines and food, and we never had our glass empty! I would highly recommend this winery for anyone wanting a lovely day out and enjoy the scenery. I would ask for Abby to be your server :) we will be back again soon!

This is a beautiful place to spend an afternoon! My wife and I started with a tasting of 8 wines - 4 white and 4 red (they through in 2 more later....) we ended up purchasing 11 wines and the manager gave us a 12th on the house! The manager, Patti of the wine shop/tasting area was the absolute best and most helpful! After that we went to the restaurant for our 1230 reservation which turned out to be a wonderful delight. The service was fantastic and the food... Well, the "farm to table" is excellent! We watched the chef attend one of their herb gardens outside to use on our meal... Amazing and delicious! I highly recommend a visit...either for the wine, the food... Or preferably both. Just tell Patti the "salt and pepper beard guy" sent you!

This was our first visit to the restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised as the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, the food was quite good especially the lamb, crispy pickerel, rhubarb pie and gelato. However, I would say the salmon was a bit too salty for our taste and the steak was slightly over cooked.The staff at the wine store are also friendly and helpful.

This was our first visit in PEC and I chose The County Cider Company as the first stop. So happy I did! My husband and I really enjoyed the scenic views of the vineyard and the lake. Is was quiet enough to soak up the sun and enjoy the surroundings. Nice service too. We shared a pizza and each tried a cider - pear and blackberry peach. Delicious all around! We bought a 6-pack to take home. Thanks for a great experience!

Lovely cider company with great drinks! We had the feral cider which was good but would recommend their peach which we had previously.The staff is lovely and the view is beautiful! Their food is a bit basic but fun to enjoy alongside trying their drinks.Overall a good place to visit if in prince edward county.

I dropped by as a recommendation I received and it was amazing!! I highly recommend. Lovely scenery, location, everything… there’s nothing not to love. Also, Cole was incredible with us. Kind, knowledgeable and super nice. Super patient, I didn’t like my cider choice initially and he happily took it back and brought me a new one. He was amazing. I will be coming back!

Scheduled a tasting here and was not disappointed. They have a variety of ciders and we got to taste 6 with a very enthusiastic guide for 30 minutes. It was really inspiring to hear the little details on the cider creation from someone who really loves what they do. My personal favorites were the cider/wine infusion, the pear cider, and the blackberry peach. Make sure to make a reservation before hand as they are quite popular.

Such a wonderful spot! The service was exceptional and the tastings were fun and delicious. That view is so beautiful and lots of food choices. Wood oven pizza was crisp and lots of choice for toppings. A big hit all around!

Best cider of the trip with lots of varieties to try. Gorgeous outdoor views and dog friendly. We actually went twice we liked it so much!

Very simple menu with excellent wood fired pizza and a great variety of local ciders and some local beers. All set in an idyllic setting overlooking the orchard with a backdrop of Lake Ontario. Service was relaxed and efficient and we highly enjoyed a leisure afternoon. Recommended.

The staff here are so friendly and knowledgeable and are excellent at reading people. Based on what we liked and didn't she was able to make suggestions for other items we might like and she was bang on. The old barn is such a beautiful location. The views outside are stunning. And they had a lot of neat merchandise. Enjoyed our time there.

We had a lovely afternoon and lunch. Amazing service and food. Bought fantastic different ciders from the tasting room. We look forward to visiting again very soon...

A MUST!Was on my list of places to visit. Turned on the GPS without a word to my husband and let him follow the directions given to him. His reaction was priceless to say the least.The views and the beauty of the business are what catches your eye as you drive in. The walk into the resturant and the views take your breath away.The young man serving us was friendly and knowledgable. Especially when it came time to ordering our the ciders.We ordered pizza and were brought back to our trip in Italy.Took a walk over to the store and bought a few more ciders to try, including the ones we had for lunch.We will be back.

Amazing experience! The landscape and views are phenomenal. Excellent pizza, cooked well in the oven with healthier cheese and lower salt, easy to eat the whole pizza per person. The salads were delicious with locally fresh ingredients. Pet friendly, dogs love their time there too! A must see when checking out the taste trail road in the county.

Enjoyed their cider flights and wood fired pizzas! Beautiful property with water views. Lots of indoor/outdoor seating.

We drove out here on Holiday Monday for a late lunch. There were 6 of us including 2 children. Everyone had plenty of yummy food. The adults had 2 Flights of Cider which we really enjoyed.Service was superb ....and you cannot forget the view. We will be back for sure.

We have been coming here for many years and we have always had a great time. The location overlooking Lake Ontario is absolutely stunning. The ciders they make are some of my favorite and definitely worth taking home to enjoy again and again. The wood fired pizza has been impressing us for all the years we've been coming here. This place is worth the drive and we love telling friends that this is a must visit place in PEC!

I love the location, the view, the pizza and the cider. Always will recommend coming!

We had lunch here as a family and it was fabulous! The pizza is outstanding, excellent salads too! My husband had the pickerel and it was very fresh and tasty. The ciders are also excellent. My favourite is the blackberry peach cider. The blood orange is also great. We haven't sampled them all yet but will! Gorgeous view and great service too!

I'm not a cider fan but there are options to the tastings. 8 1oz tastes of cider and 4 5oz glass tastes. They run from dry to sweet. Obviously you can buy all the samples In bottles. They are not that expensive.My main disappointment with this place is that there is no tour or even description of how the cider is made or brewed. That is the reason for only 2 stars. The staff are very friendly and competent but do not have the knowledge of the process of making cider.Others in our group were not impressed either. They expected a tour of the cidery.

This is a lovely place for a great view, drinks, and food. The food menu has a wide variety, including gluten free options. The grounds are truly picturesque and there are plenty of outdoor tables for large or small groups to enjoy it all. They also have a nice store to purchase bottles and souvenirs. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to enjoy Waupoos and its beautiful surroundings.

What a sweet find! Location /view is outstanding, staff are friendly & patient, cider is delicious🍏🍎Highly recommend making a stop at this great spot in Waupoos!!

5+ stars. Highly recommended. Very friendly staff. Amazing people. Sunny hot day. A beautiful patio with both grapes and apple trees side by side overlooking the lake. Can't get better than that. But it can apparently. Their food was just excellent. Enjoyed a good patio lunch date with kids and a nice walk through apple trees after.

Had an amazing lunch here. I had BBQ Chicken wood fired pizza which was delicious! I decided to have a black berry peach cider with my pizza and it was very refreshing. The location of restaurant is on a hill and the patio provides great views of the surrounding area and Lake Ontario. You can walk through the vineyard and orchard too. The cider shop is directly across from the restaurant on the ground floor of an old barn converted to a store. Other pizzas we ordered were the Margarita and the Funguy which were enjoyed by others at my table.Side note,We almost didn’t get to have our lunch here as staff were turning customers away do to the internet going down. I would recommend having hand written receipts on hand for these situations, lots of customers will still pay in cash.

Amazing place. Went there just to try out some ciders and see what's happening there. Was pleasently surprised to see a stage and live music. Enjoyed a nice set of small pints of different ciders. Also, visited the store there to buy some extra ciders in bottles to take home. Vibe was amazing and staff was great!

My visit to the Lemon Point Conservation Area was an absolute delight! Nestled along the picturesque shores of Kingston, this hidden gem offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility.The conservation area boasts stunning views of Lake Ontario, with walking trails that wind through lush forests and meadows. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a birdwatcher, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Lemon Point has something for everyone.I was particularly impressed by the diversity of wildlife that calls this area home. From vibrant songbirds to majestic waterfowl, every step of the trail offered an opportunity to connect with nature in its purest form.The facilities at Lemon Point are well-maintained, with clean restrooms and informative signage along the trails. I appreciated the efforts made to preserve the natural habitat while still providing amenities for visitors to enjoy.Overall, my experience at the Lemon Point Conservation Area was nothing short of wonderful. It's the perfect destination for a leisurely hike, a family picnic, or simply a moment of solitude by the water's edge. I highly recommend adding this hidden oasis to your list of must-visit spots in Kingston!

This is one of the best parks around, its totally accessible to wheelchairs , walkers , strollers you name it anyone and all ages can enjoy a walk in a forest , bring some bird feed cause the chickadee's and nuthatches as well as a few woodpeckers have no issue landing on your hand to get some. and if you stop for a minute just inside the beginning of trail to the right you will see a couple of big rocks then your in the right spot to possibly see an albino chipmunk, he's shy and wont approach but is a very cool sight for sure

A nice area for a long walk or riding a bike. You could visit some wild life of Kingston there as well.

This place is a nice place to go with kids, family, and friends. The walking paths are not too long and would not take more than an hour of your day. There are a lot of animals to meet along the path and if the weather is nice there is a place to swim just off the trail.

Great trails! We loved it. It had a mix of trails along side Lake Ontario, hidden beaches, trails through woods. The trails have good viewing and photography points. Animals especially squirrels are very accustomed to humans and come very close to you. People do feed squirrels here.It was a short trail and within Kingston. Would definitely visit again. We enjoyed it!

Great trails to walk on and see nature. Some trails could use more signs. Especially trail 4 when it gets further in and you don't know where you are.

Love this place! Great trails and plenty of wildlife! Love feeding the 🐦 's etc as well! Highly recommend, great for the whole fam jam!

I enjoyed taking a walk on the trail. Quiet and peaceful. ✌️

It's always a pleasure to come. Very peaceful, and nature is always around you. Highly recommend for a fun day out.

Such a beautiful walk. Amazing trail well marked, lots of spots to rest, and some beautiful fenced-in lookouts. Wildlife and beauty love it

Lemoine Point is an amazing place to go on walks, me and my family love coming here, there are so many ways you could go, through the forest, along the water, near fields, it's huge. A lot of the time you can put your hand up with food and a bird will come sit on it! We've also seen turkeys there so many times and they're nice! They won't attack you. Along the water is beautiful, there are even some trees you can sit up in. And you can feed the ducks! You might even see some bunnies too. Anyway, if you were thinking of trying this place out, you definitely should.

Lemoine Point is a go-to if you’re local or visiting Kingston. The trails are flexible for all kinds of people, along with being in different areas with the waterfront and spectacular forest atmospheres. You can interact with friendly animals and sightsee spectacular sightings (don’t forget bird seeds and peanuts for the chipmunks and squirrels— they love it). I highly recommend if you are seeking time in nature.

It's a great place to go and be with nature. Relaxing and Wildlife is in abundance, if you like geese, squirrels and ducks. On the negative side, there's not enough garbage pails. Bring your own beverages there are no Outlets.

Such a beautiful place, whether you're by yourself or bring someone. One of my favourite spots!

Lovely area to go for a nature walk. Free parking. We live in Toronto but make sure to visit every time we're out in the Kingston area visiting family. Be sure to bring bird seed and unsalted peanuts.

Lots of birds will eat straight out of your hands if you bring bird food - chickadees, white breasted nuthatches and downy woodpeckers have landed in my hands. You can also expect to see owls, turkeys and deer sometimes. The trails are bike friendly.

Saw lots of squirrels, chipmunks, birds, and a turkey around. The water is not swimmable (full of geese droppings and smells horrendous). Only saw 1 picnic table near the water and the table was quite old. But overall, we enjoyed this trail.

Great conservation area with wonderful family easy trails. Loads of wildlife and very friendly people as well.

Very serene and well maintained trails that are great for walks and runs. Beginner-friendly and appears to be dog-friendly, too, since there were multiple people walking their dogs around. Cycling isn't allowed on some paths, but is allowed on others.

this place is breath takingly beautiful! the animals are like pets begging for snacks, bring peanuts etc

Both entrances have extensive parking. There 5 trails, connected to each other, only one is for bikes and has rubble. They are all very easy going and stroller friendly They are properly signalled once you enter the park. It is very well maintained though the bathrooms are closed due to COVID. Different spots to sit with benches and tables and some spots reach the beach. The beach is mostly covered in stones but dogs seem to enjoy going into the water. The view is also great. Plenty of squirrels, ducks, chipmunks and ticks, but it's ok as long as you stay in the path.

One of our favourite places to bring our dog for a serene walk. Bring bird seed - the chickadees will love you for it!

Really nice, large area to explore and get out in nature, easily accessible from kingston.Free parking/entry which is great, washrooms. No maps available however and the signage wasn’t great on the trail so there were a few times I didn’t know where I was. One part of the trail was particularly overgrown so I ended up turning around. It was way too dense with long grass- tic city for sure and wasn’t risking it for me and my dog. You can see it in my last photo.

Very beautiful! Cute birds, wild ducks, big geese, beautiful sunset, snowy scenery!"

Calm and peaceful place, best to enjoy nature, suitable for an evening walk, for trailing and pet friendly place.
