We had a tasting here and tried many samples of awesome wines . All of the Surahs were amazing . Colin is awesome and the best guy you can get to show you the tastings . Give this man a huge raise ! He made our experience a phenomenal one .

Charles, our server, was incredibly approachable and engaging. He captured our attention with an intriguing and informative overview of the Niagara wine industry, all while keeping things personable and tailored to our experience. We’ve been to many Niagara wine tastings, but this one truly stood out! We learned so much and would definitely recommend it.

Excellent tasting experience. I have done tastings i Australia, France and Canada. This is by far the best wine testing I have ever experienced. Collin was amazing. He really knew the wines and was able to make suggestions for our tasting based on our comments. Superb.

Thank you Charles for an amazing start to a great trip. We loved your wines, appreciated your hospitality and all your great recommendations for us for our trip! We have already enjoyed some of the wines we bought. Never did I expect to enjoy such bold and beautiful reds here in Niagra!

The tasting with Collin was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Had an amazing time and the wine was phenomenal! A must stop!

Decided to tour the vineyards of niagara and happened upon this one. I must say by far the whole customer experience we encountered along the way made your winery the best to visit all due to Charles. He made our group of 10 feel at home. He was so welcoming and answered all our questions without judgment. We will definitely be telling all our friends back in Victoria Bc to come here. Thank you. 😊

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 enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Megalomaniac Wines. If you haven’t been - their views, service and vibe are top notch. For the price paid I felt it was great value for what was received. Generous portions, bursting with flavour. A special place! Didn’t take pics of our stunning view but we could see Toronto, the Lake and the skyline of Niagara Falls from the patio.

Amazing patio, the estate house is far from the road so it is very peaceful. Beautiful view of the vineyards as well as the escarpment . The breeze coming from the escarpment is nice. The Tuna cones were very tasty, and the wine/cocktails were very good. Prices are reasonable. Our server was very hospitable and friendly!

We walked through the little shop, with wine themed shirts, hats, and more! We sat down at the "Sun Patio" Nice stone wall and great view of Vineland, Vineyards, And Lake Ontario, From the top of the Niagara Escarpment. Quickly Seated, Quickly Ordered our drinks. The Drinks Came Quickly as well. Prices Were Reasonable on the menu likewise the drinks. Normal menu size for Winery, but the options all seemed Yummy😋. Our Food came with in 10-15 minutes, tasted very top-notch. Only thing is not much choice for young kids. I'm 11 but most stuff is suitable for me. We would come back if we were in the area again! -Sage the Hyde Park Review Team!

Very reasonable price for a winery restaurant, the portion of food was quite generous and taste was good. The menu was an international cuisine. The dinning room and patio had an expansive view of the winery. The service was also friendly and efficient.

Today was my birthday! Came here with my parents, great meal and great service!! Had a wine tasting afterwards and the bartender was so friendly and very knowledgeable. The views were amazing!

Incredible experience with amazing views! The staff were very friendly and contributed to the overall positive experience. The meal was also fabulous and my group enjoyed the evening.

Great service and good food. Winery is absolutely beautiful with stunning views. Love that pretty much any dish (except the bread and pasta) can be made gluten-free.

Tiffany Falls was honestly such a beautiful experience. The second I stepped onto the trail, I could hear the river flowing, and it instantly put me at ease. It’s only about a 10-minute walk to the falls, and the whole way up is just peaceful with lots of greenery, vibrant colors, and that calming sound of water the whole time. Right near the beginning there’s a spot where you can get close to the river. I went down there and just stood for a bit listening. it really made me feel grounded and connected to the space. The trail itself is clean and easy to follow, and the whole walk just felt like a reset. I was lucky it hadn’t rained recently, so I was able to walk right up close to the falls and sit there for about an hour. The sound, the mist, the fresh air! it was just one of those moments you don’t forget. Even cooler, there were a few ladies painting the falls while I was there, and their work was so on point. It really captured how special the place is. If you’re ever near Hamilton, I 100% recommend checking it out. But honestly don’t just take my word for it. Go experience it for yourself. Let the place speak for itself. It’s a vibe.

Tiffany Falls is a lovely little spot with a short, easy trail that makes it very accessible. Parking is limited to an hour, so it’s best for a quick visit, but it’s worth it if you’re waterfall-hopping around Hamilton. Even though the water flow was low when I visited, the surroundings are peaceful and still make for a nice nature break.

This is a great short walk. It's a tiny fall just after spring into the beginning of summer the fall is more of a trickle. However this is part of the Bruce Trail and when you park and pay for the day ~12; you can access multiple other falls just across the street. The parking is very limited (~15 spots). The trail was well kept when I visited and the water a little murky. The path is for walking/hiking only (no bikes allowed).

Every time I come here, I leave with a clear mind and a full heart. It’s a reminder that you don’t need much to feel rich — just nature and silence. This place makes you realize how powerful simplicity is. No noise, no distractions — just pure nature and peace. It’s incredibly grounding.

Really pretty waterfall, great photo spot. Very short easy trail to get to the falls. Such a jewel in the city. Limited parking but mid day on a Thursday was fine. Parking is a bit much for such a short trail.

Tiffany Falls was an amazing experience! It was the first spot we arrived at, and getting there was super easy, just a 400-meter hike. The trail is gentle, and once you reach the falls, you’re rewarded with a refreshing place where you can actually stand under the water and enjoy the cool, breezy splash. Tip: Don’t forget to bring a change of clothes and sandals so you can fully enjoy the water!

Quite small waterfall, however visit os fully worth it. Paid parking area with very limited spaces. (May be 10 vehicle limit) Trail towards waterfall is quite icy and slippery winter. Therefore, one must wear appropriate footwear.

Absolutely loved my visit to Trius Winery! I did a tasting and spent a relaxing afternoon reading my book on their beautiful covered patio. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and other visitors were so sweet to my pup—he felt right at home! The wines were fantastic, and the whole experience makes this one of my favorite winery visits in New York State. We’ll definitely have to come back for the restaurant, which was Michelin-recognized in 2024. This spot is great for a group outing or solo travelers, very clean, and there’s plenty to explore around the state.

We visited this restaurant in July for dinner and had the two-course meal. The restaurant is so gorgeous but since it was a lovely July evening, we decided to sit on the patio. The setting was absolutely beautiful, overlooking a little fountain, a grassy yard with barrels, and views of the vines. It really set the mood! The meal started with fresh bread and whipped butter, which was absolutely delicious. For starters, I had the beet salad, which was incredible — beautifully plated and full of flavor. My partner had the tomato collection, which was fresh and tasty as well. For mains, I had the beef, which I found a bit under-seasoned compared to the first course, while my partner’s fish was good but slightly plain. We were stuffed so we skipped dessert. I ordered a white wine sampler which came in the rack and since it was warm it got warm quickly so this is something for the owners to consider. Overall, we loved our experience — the gorgeous setting, service, and delicious starters made it so memorable! A wonderful spot for a summer evening experience!!!!

This was my second experience at Trius restaurant. We went for our anniversary this time and really enjoyed ourselves. The food is excellent and they are on the Michelin guide for a reason. I didn’t like that the bread and butter wasn’t included considering with tip and wine, this was like a $400 meal already. It was also served in a plant pot for some reason. My husband got the duck appetizer and I got the ice wine beets. He had the halibut, and I had the Cornish hen. And dessert, he had the blueberry cheesecake and I had the peach pavlova. Both appetizers were very good, the peach pavlova I think was better, but the Cornish hen was the dish of the night. Wow it was so good! Our server was very lovely, and I thought the staff was very impressive coming out with each dish and explaining every component with every course. Overall it was a great experience, and we would consider returning on another trip to NOTL.

The food was delicious, and the wine was absolutely amazing. I was so impressed by how perfectly it was served at the right temperature — I never knew wine could taste this good! It was even better than the pairings I’ve had at Hiramatsu in Japan. I was also delighted to meet the Japanese manager — it made me feel very welcome. Don’t forget to take home a bottle of their wine as a souvenir! 🍷

Trius Winery & Restaurant was one of my absolute favorite stops on my Niagara on the Lake wine tour! It was easily the busiest winery we visited too, and for good reason. I love how multi-faceted it is. They have a beautiful store, a separate fine dining restaurant, and a guided tour (for an extra charge which needs to be booked in advance) that takes you all around the property. The cellar tour was incredible, advertised as the largest sparkling cellar out there . We were able to sample their award winning sparkling wines and the iconic Trius Red for which they have earned so much recognition for. We did run into a huge bachelorette group that delayed our tour, which affected our dinner reservation, but the staff handled it perfectly. Our guide was so accommodating he personally arranged for a private escort for us to the Sparkle Room for the final Insta-worthy part of the experience. Such a thoughtful touch and completely worked out in our favor for a private photo opportunity! Dinner at the Trius Restaurant was outstanding!! It’s actually the only Michelin recommended restaurant in Niagara on the Lake, and it exceeded every expectation. The prix fixe menu was excellent. We were able to choose either 2 or 3 courses. We went for 3 and since we had 3 people in our party we each ordered something different so essentially we tried the entire menu sharing. Every dish was perfection. Service was fantastic as well. Every menu item was presented with an incredible in depth description which was greatly appreciated. Trius is without a doubt a must see winery in Niagara on the Lake!

An absolutely incredible experience! We enjoyed the 3-course lunch at Trius Winery and every dish was perfection — beautifully presented, full of flavor, and perfectly paired with their wines. The atmosphere was gorgeous, the service attentive, and the whole experience felt effortlessly special. Can’t wait to go back and bring more friends next time — it’s a must-visit!

The estate and wine tour is a must if you are visiting niagara on the lake. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The red wine and sparking wine are a must try. The underground sparking wine cellar is one of the largest in canada! Amazing to see all the bottles stacked up. A must book wine tour in my opinion, with many opportunities to take memorable pictures

We put our 3-year-old in the Skate Canada program last year and were less than impressed. The hockey program he is enrolled in this year as a 4-year-old, on the other hand, is fantastic! The coach is great. The drills are fun and the keep the kids attention. The steps to learn to skate are well thought out and very effective. My son hated the Skate Canada program and loves the hockey one!

Uncomfortable seating and cold. Be sure to bring a cushion to sit on as the seats are wood planks and as well, dress warm because the heat probably will be off like I experienced a few days ago.

Beautiful Historical village Worth to visit

The hockey is great but the experience not so much. They need to turn on the heat as it's an extremely cold building in which to watch a hockey game.

No canteen and cold arena - hockey mom review

Nice arena. Cold like the others.

Virgil stampede never been there b4 was good

Visited Wild Water Works for the first time. It was a good experience being there. Went in a weekday still it was crowded, maybe cause of the summer holidays, but it was fun being there. They have a huge wave pool and 2 water slides. Tried 1 of the water slides. It was a wonderful experience. They many lifeguards around every ride and near the pool. Outside the area, they have a huge parking lot, but parking can be an issue on weekends. They have a snack parlor inside the premises but a food truck is there offering wraps, burgers, and pops. They let you out if you want to go out for the food truck then they let you in after you have taken the food. They have lockers that can be used to keep the stuff. I used a standard locker for $14. Parking is free. Must visit.

We attended July 22nd around 3pm and it was nice and quiet. The park was very clean and all the life guards we were around we very attentive and helpful. Definitely some wild teenagers zipping through the lazy river but it’s to be expected I guess.

I highly recommend renting a cabana as this includes park admissions, tubes, locker, free water bottles. Cabana provides good shade and a table with 4 chairs and 2 muskoka chairs. Easy access as early as 10:30am. I noticed that the kids' pool was cooler than the rest of the pools. Little one enjoyed a lot. Lazy river is decently long and was awesome. There are 2 food trucks outside. Not too much options. Ice cream is also available in the Waves shop. Overall a wonderful experience 👍

We had a great time at Wild Waterworks in Hamilton! It’s a fun and family-friendly water park with something for everyone. Here’s what we loved: Attractions & Activities - 5 Water Slides – Fast and fun! Just note: kids must be 42" tall to ride. - Wave Pool – Super exciting! Lifejackets are mandatory for kids, and they’re available for free. - Lazy River – Relaxing and scenic. Renting a tube helps you skip the wait! - Splash Park for Kids – Perfect for little ones! My 4-year-old loved the three small slides and water play areas. Tips & Amenities - Tube Rentals – Not required, but helpful for skipping lines at the lazy river and slides. - Lockers Available for Rent – Great for storing your stuff while you play. - Free Parking – Always appreciated! - Cabana Rentals – A smart choice for big families or hot days. Offers shade and space to relax. Family-Friendly Vibes My son didn’t meet the height requirement for the big slides, but he had a blast in the splash park and lazy river. The park is clean, well-organized, and perfect for a summer day out.

DO THE WORKS AT WILD WATERWORKS!! Being a season pass holder has its perks especially with ice cold drinks for %30 off! Plus you get to skip the lines! & Go through bag check then scan & walk right into the park & have fun!!! Children 3 & Under are free. But what if your not a season pass holder & your a person with disabilities well guess what!!!! People who have disabilities pay $25 plus tax = $28 and if they have a support person they get in for free!!!

I visited this water park and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. The entire park was swarming with black flies, which attacked and bit everyone in our group repeatedly. The bites were incredibly painful, and now we’re all dealing with intense itching and some pretty bad reactions—especially my kids. It completely ruined what was supposed to be a fun day out. I wouldn’t recommend this park if you want to avoid insect attacks and painful bites. Hopefully, they address this issue soon for future visitors.

Great place to cool off on a hot sunny day. Place was very clean with courteous staff. Make sure to bring your own picnic though as many concessions were not operating, I think this place was much more popular back in the day. Would definitely go back.

We ordered the 5-course tasting menu, each beautifully paired with a glass of wine. Every dish and wine pairing was absolutely delightful — full of flavor and thoughtfully crafted. The service was warm and attentive, which made us feel truly cared for throughout the evening. The setting is simply stunning: dining while overlooking the vast, serene vineyard was such a peaceful and memorable experience. The interior design is equally impressive, especially the striking wall behind the counter, which adds to the charm of the space. Overall, it was an experience filled with joy, beauty, and a deep sense of appreciation — I would love to return again and again.

My husband and I had the opportunity to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary at Peller Estates with our children. The fine dining at The Winery Restaurant was above and beyond expectation from start to finish. Sybille, their lovely hostess, was so kind and welcoming when we arrived. We appreciate her hospitality and kind demeanour. As we were sat, our lovely waitress Julie made our celebration a night to remember. Sparkling wine for my husband and I and two sparkling apple juices for our children (ages 10 and 14). Our 3 course dinner prix fixe meal was divine. We can cannot wait to return next time. I would highly recommend their East Coast Digby Scallop Crudo and their Signature Lobster Linguine. For dessert, their Mille-Feuille were also excellent paired with of course their Signature Series Oak Aged Vidal. Thanks to you Kayla Wall, hospitality manager for ensuring our special night was one to be remembered. Until next time!

I really enjoyed the tour at Peller Winery. It was a great experience to learn more about wines and how they are made, especially since I am not very knowledgeable about wine. The guide was very friendly and willing to explain even the simplest things, which made the visit even better. The wines were delicious and I loved that they gave us the tasting glasses as a gift because they are so pretty. The only downside for me was that the shop prices felt a bit high but overall everything was beautiful and worth the visit.

Peller Estates in Niagara on the Lake is a stunning winery with beautifully maintained grounds and a touch of grandeur. We booked the guided tour, which began a bit slowly outside as we learned about the vineyard’s history and winemaking process. Thankfully, things picked up and became much more engaging as we moved indoors and explored behind the scenes. The highlight was definitely the 10 Below Ice Lounge. It was an unforgettable experience that was really cool 🥶 both literally and metaphoricallyl! They give you large parkas to wear to warm things up a bit. It was such a fun way to end the tour! The wines themselves were enjoyable and reflective of the Niagara region's charm. Overall, it was a memorable experience that started off a little snooze worthy 😴 and finished on a positive note. Highly recommend adding Peller Estates to your Niagara-on-the-Lake wine itinerary!

🍷🍾The wine selection was exceptional, with a fantastic range of reds, whites, and sparkling wines. The Icewine, of course, was a highlight—rich, smooth, and unlike anything else. 🍴🥩The set menu at their restaurant was simply delicious. If you're looking for a winery experience that combines great wine, fantastic food, and beautiful surroundings, Peller Estate is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back for another round of wine and food pairing!

Our group of six had an absolutely fantastic time at Pellar Estate! The winery tour was informative and engaging. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience so enjoyable. The wines were delicious, and we loved learning about the winemaking process. After the tour, we had lunch, and the food was outstanding! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with their wines. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the beautiful weather made it even more special. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Pellar Estate for anyone looking for a great wine-tasting experience, delicious food, and a lovely setting. We’ll definitely be back! A perfect day out with friends! 🍷☀️

Came here couple of times for celebration. Food and services have been consistently great. Pairing with their own wine brings the Crispy Skin Duck Breast and Ontario Beef Striploin to the next level. Don’t forget to order their signature lobster linguine. Thanks for the meal and will be back for sure 👍

Konzelmann Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake is a picturesque retreat set amid sprawling vineyards, offering a serene and beautiful setting. The vintage-style building is stunning, both inside and out, exuding classic charm that enhances the overall experience. The wine is truly divine—rich, flavorful, and well-crafted. The tasting session was enjoyable, allowing us to savor some excellent selections. However, the experience was slightly marred when our assigned staff member left mid-tasting for their break, leaving us momentarily unattended. For a paid experience, better coordination would have been ideal. Despite this hiccup, Konzelmann Winery remains a lovely spot for wine lovers. Just be aware that while the vineyard views are gorgeous, there’s no access to walk among the vines. Still, a great visit overall.

I felt bad for underestimating this winery. You don’t usually see many varieties of red wine from Konzelmann at the LCBO, but their selection here truly impressed me. All the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our guide, Gabriella, was amazing — she knew so much about wine, had a great sense of humor, and even took beautiful photos of us. Thank you! I can’t wait to try the Malbec barrel-aged red — such a unique and complex taste, like a rainbow of flavors! It has so much more with a sip! Absolutely amazing experience.

Konzelmann Winery in Niagara on the Lake is absolutely beautiful! The view from the upstairs area is impressive. You can see the vineyards and the lake, making it the perfect spot to relax and take it all in. Their peach wine slushies are also amazing! Refreshing, fun, and perfect for a warm day. Cute little backyard area to sit. It's definitely worth a visit!

Nice winery on the lake, with multiple different tasting areas and experiences. Though you can see the lake...the building and seating areas are not on the water. The wine was great and the tasting hosts were entertaining. When we went on a fall weekend, it was quite busy and we had to wait a bit to get a spot for tasting. Best to book ahead if you can. Definitely worth a stop.

We did a tour and tasting. The view from the winery is beautiful. We could see the lake. Tour was okay. She was okay. I felt it’s rushed. It’s a crowded place. So many people were there come and go. We wanted to try other wine too but the staff was too busy to deal with us. Peach wine was tasty. We bought one. Konzelmann is good for the experience and short stop to sample.

What a great tasting, with the joyful Donna as our master tastery-teacher! She told so much that I have forgotten what to remember. What I do remember is why we visited: icewine! Absolutely great taste, not to winey, but more the liquor I wanted and expected. And the view from the Winery to Toronto: priceless! Konzelmann and Donna won me over. But also the other staff members. Lovely place and a joy also for non-drinkers like me!

We had an amazing time at Konzelmann Estate Winery! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Each wine we tasted had distinct, delicious flavors – it was clear how much care goes into their winemaking. We enjoyed every moment of the tasting experience and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake!

Interesting information at the site. Really nice area. Great place to visit. Was fun to see the fife and drum muster with multiple groups present with music demonstrations and musket firing demonstrations. Will come again. Nice that it's free to visit this year (although worth the visit even if you had to pay).

Exceeded expectations and spent more time here than originally planned. Plus in 2025, it is free (except for parking). In addition to a number of buildings with so much historical information and artifacts, there were period dressed staff who were there to provide information or answer your questions. While there, there was a parade to raise the flag, a musket demonstration and a talk about the War of 1812 under some trees. And so dog friendly as we were able to carry our smaller pups into the buildings. Well done!

A very interesting historical site to visit while in the town of niagara on the lake. There were live firing demonstrations then which was cool. Its a big site with underground tunnels, watch towers etc and very relaxing to just walk around and learn about the historical significance of the fort. Highly recommend to drop by while visiting the town

My 13 year old sons and I went here and we just loved it! There were several different learning demonstrations and such a great staff. Super cool place to visit! I highly recommend it.

The Battle of Fort George was fought at this National Historic Site during the War of 1812. It was an American victory and, during the Battle, which was fought in May, 1813 the Fort was almostv entirely destroyed. Although the British retook the fort, they put litte effort into its reconstruction. The only original building on site is a gunpowder magazine. The current Fort was reconstructed in the 1930s. The museum at the fort contains many exhibits that oroginate from the War of 1812 period. The staff and reinactors are amazing.

Our first visit and we were totally bowled over by the experience. They have several presentations, and all of them were comprehensive, informative, and fun! Very impressive presenters, indeed. We even got to taste the cookies and cake that the presenter made based on the original recipes. It's great fun for all ages, and it's free! A must visit place!

This was such an amazing experience. The staff were absolutely amazing, friendly and so informative. The area is steeped in the history of the War of 1812. I loved seeing crew in the uniforms marching around. The musket display was an experience. Fully recommend visiting Fort George

Nice to see that this venue is still great and has kept up with the times. Seats are very comfortable for longer performances and the slope of the theatre is great. You have a great view even in the second last row of orchestra. Came to see Anything Goes and the production was excellent. Really high production value. Exceeded my expectations.

We attended a ‘Sunday Coffee Concert’ at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The musical performance was led by Music Director Paul Sportelli and supported by members of the Shaw Festival. Playing to a full house audience, singer Jay Turkey joined the musicians in a beautiful version of La Vi e en Rose. The facility, performance and beautiful surroundings of Niagara made for a precious summer musical visit!

First timer yesterday, the theater is very nice, spacious and clean. A nice lobby café and refreshment available before and during intermission as well as little gift shop! The play we saw was "Wait Until Dark" it was a great night out, actors was amazing, the lighting and music everything was just great! The seats and view were great and comfy! Love the under 35 years old pricing they have available! We will be back!

The play at the Shaw festival what is absolutely fantastic. Niagara on the lake was spectacular. The floral display within the town was in full bloom. All the unique shops we're very busy in the streets were filled with people. It was a wonderful experience!

Had a wonderful evening at The Shaw, we enjoyed the show, “One Man, Two Guvnors”. Looking forward to my next visit!

Took the "behind the scenes" tour. It was fantastic seeing all the operations involved in putting on a show. The guides were very knowledgeable and it was really amazing seeing what goes on!!!

Went to see Murder on the Lake matinee - Friday Oct 3. Loved the play. I didn’t know anything about it, so loved the interactive twist component. Highly recommend! Theatre was packed for the 1pm show! Staff were incredibly friendly. Great experience. There is an option discussion component at the end of the performance.

Spencer Smith Park has a well manicured waterfront trail along the edges of Lake Ontario. It’s a great place to take a stroll, bike, roller blade, or jog. Lay down a beach mat or towel, and have yourself a little picnic. Catch a glimpse of the sun during sunrise or sunset. One can catch the fireworks show here during the July long weekend. Plus in early Spring, you can see the blooms of the Cherry Blossom trees. It’s connected to the Brant Street Pier. The Spencer Beach is nearby, and it’s relatively small in size and gets quickly filled in with people. There’s also a memorial nearby honouring the people who fought and died serving our country. Metered parking is available, but the parking spaces are limited.

This park is very beautiful and have amazing view. Park is child friendly and have lot of activity for child to do. At the same time if you want to eat or drink something then they have bench over there. It was lovely to gp there. I recommend this to families and couples. And those who feel alone. Refreshing breezy air will blow your mind.

Great for walks whether alone, or with family and friends. There is a lot of nice photo opportunities, plenty of area to sit down and even have a picnic at. There are musicians who come play here, and some of them are incredibly talented that they do deserve some donations. Festivals and other events are also quite common here. There are benches along the path, but for some of the nicer areas you'd want to sit near, there usually is already someone there. Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful around here, and present many photo opportunities. It's also super safe to walk along the park area due to it being so public, you won't really have to worry about dangerous people or things too much, even at 12 AM. However, I have seen older men creepily looking or staring at me late in the night.. (after 12 AM) but I still feel relatively safe being around so many other people in plain view. A lot of people have dogs off leashes here (even though it's not safe, because anything can happen and provoke a dog) which isn't the best, since someone like me is allergic and also had a bad childhood experience with dogs. So please keep them on a leash, even if it's a long leash. If you see someone is becoming cautious around your dog, please pull them back. You don't know if they're just scared, or if they're allergic, even if you know your dog is good. I believe you, but some people like me still can't be near them without getting an allergic reaction unfortunately.

I recently this park and it was amazing! The park has a lot of green space, a pond, a playground, and a nice walking path. Best of all a nice river ealk. The park is well-maintained and clean. I enjoyed sitting on the benches and watching the ducks swim in the pond. There's also a nice picnic area if you want to bring your own food. Overall, it's a great place to relax and enjoy some fresh air.

Great place to walk close to the lake. Wide mostly paved paths. Tons of dog walkers and families out walking. And those biking were courteous. In summertime there are washrooms mid way down. Otherwise there was a center near the kids park that had washrooms.

Great place for a walk. Went there for cherry blossom. There are like 10-12 trees. The riverside gives you a nice breeze for walking, and a good background for your photos. The only problem was limited parking spaces.

Spencer Smith Park in Burlington, Ontario, offers a picturesque waterfront oasis along the shores of Lake Ontario. With its sprawling green spaces, scenic walking paths, and sandy beach, the park provides a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the lake and the Burlington Skyway Bridge while picnicking, sunbathing, or simply strolling along the waterfront. The park also hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, adding to its vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're seeking relaxation or outdoor recreation, Spencer Smith Park offers something for everyone, making it a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike.

I visited a wonderful conservation area with well-maintained trails and attractions like the restored 100-year-old Spruce Lane Farmhouse, showcasing life in the 1900s. The farm had goats, sheep, and rabbits, plus a playground for kids. Though the swimming pool was closed for renovation, the nature center with turtles and snakes was fascinating. Clean washrooms made the visit even better! I truly enjoyed myself. 😊

This is a very accessible park east of Toronto. Very friendly staff. Facilities were very clean. The tent pitch was well maintained with a fire pit and seated bench. Local electrical supplies were available with a 30A connector and standard 15A 110Vac connectors. The pitch also gives you free access to the provincial park, which is a short drive away. There is some traffic noise, but suspect the rear tent pitches are more sheltered from this. Overall, it was great value and perfectly placed for trips to Niagara or Toronto. Bronte and Oakville are also close by and are extremely scenic areas to grab coffee and walk along the shore side.

Great provincial park in the middle of the city. Plenty of parking, accessible and lots of things to see and do. March is maple festival time. Day use is $18 per vehicle and includes entrance to the maple festival. Great for kids and adults. There is a small farm which you can see and an old house/museum. Place has a seasonal camp area but open the whole year for trekking.

One of my best cycling parks. It is well maintained and organized with designated car parking zones and maintained eating areas. Full of lots of terrain for mountain biking and cycling.Also hiking terrains to river beds and fishing. Farm for the children with some two and four legged friends. Has lots of activities going on through the year. Great experience for individuals and family

This park is a gem for camping and day picnic located in heart of the city. You never imagine you can find a very peaceful and beautiful place right in the buzz of city. Its located off QEW in Oackville and it is huge in terms of green space. We used the day pass and were amazed by the nature and how huge the spce is. You can easily find a quiet picnic spot with lots of benches and washrooms close by. There are a couple fun activities included as well, like the barn and the pool which was still closed, for kids and families. There is also plenty of small playgrounds close to each picnic section for kids. The trails are super nice for hikers and bikers. The parking spce is also very spacious and easy to find a spot. The only thing is washrooms could be cleaner as you pay for a pass and its not free, this raises the expectations of cleanliness. Overall, the picnic areaswere super clean. Overall, this was a super fun picnic exerience we had and I will be coming back here soon.

Bronte Creek Park is huge, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts for a fun family day out. The park has numerous great picnic spots, well-maintained camping sites, and a variety of trails suitable for hiking and cycling. Families can enjoy fishing, exploring the park's beautiful scenery, and visiting the farm where children can engage with animals. Kids will love the playground and the barn, while adults can relax and take in the natural beauty. With its wide range of activities, Bronte Creek offers something for everyone.

Visited in late September and unfortunately a few of the highlights were closed. We knew the pool is closed so no big deal. But both the Nature center and the farm house were closed, so a bit disappointing. The park itself is very nice with cool hiking options. There are few farm animals that are friendly and cute, goats, sheep, lamb, pigs, bunnies.. all great. Plenty of parking and clean washrooms. The play area in the barn was a great success and is great for kids 3-10.

Had a fantastic day at Jack Darling Memorial Park! The free parking is a huge plus, with plenty of spaces even on a busy weekend. The Lake Ontario shore is beautiful, and the fishing scene is lively – tons of people casting lines and having fun. Great for picnics, walks, or just chilling by the water. Highly recommend this vibrant park!

This park is the perfect spot to launch your paddleboard or kayak and enjoy a peaceful sunrise or sunset on the water. It offers convenient amenities like public washrooms, a foot rinse station, and plenty of picnic tables and open space, ideal for a family BBQ or picnic. Just be sure to arrive early; while there is ample parking, it fills up quickly!

The park is pretty, beaches are nice, but it's very crowded on the weekends and we couldn't find space in the parking lots. We saw that many many cars had parked on the right side of the road where there are signs that say parking is forbidden on certain hours and days. However, we saw some of the cars there with fines on their windshields. Does someone know what these signs mean then? Those cars were outside of the days and restricted hours so ...utterly confused

Scenic, family-friendly park by the lake Jack Darling Memorial Park is a great spot for all ages—lots of green space, a splash pad, playground, picnic areas, and one of the best off-leash dog parks around. The lakefront views are beautiful, and One of the best parts is that the park connects directly to the Rattray Marsh Conservation Area via the waterfront trail, making it perfect for a longer, scenic walk through nature. It gets busy on weekends, so parking can be tight, but it’s a perfect place to relax or spend time outdoors with family, friends, or your dog.

🌳 Jack Darling Memorial Park – Mississauga Review 🌳 Jack Darling Memorial Park is truly one of the best spots in Mississauga for a picnic or a relaxing day out 🌞🍉. The park is spacious with plenty of sitting areas, making it perfect for families, friends, or even just a solo escape into nature 🪑🧺. 💚 Nature lovers will be amazed – the greenery, walking paths, and overall calm vibes really make this park stand out 🌿🌸. You can easily spend hours here enjoying the fresh air, the views, and the peaceful environment. 🚻 The only drawback is the washrooms – they are available but could definitely be cleaner and more hygienic 😕. That’s one area that needs improvement. ☕ Luckily, there’s a Tim Hortons nearby, so you can grab your coffee, snacks, or even bring along some food before heading into the park 🥤🍩. ✨ Overall, if you’re looking for a beautiful picnic spot in Mississauga, this park is a gem! Just be prepared for the washroom situation, but everything else – nature, space, and convenience – makes up for it. 🌳💫

Its is a beautiful lakeside park in Mississauga, perfect for family outings and picnics. It has wide open green spaces, a dog park, splash pad, and scenic walking trails with stunning views of Lake Ontario. It gets overcrowded on weekends and parking can be very difficult.

A place of history, nature and spirit . JD memorial captures important local history, connects one to the legacy of visionaries who helped conceive and conserve the Lakeshore at Port Credit. The lakeshore has been landscaped with care and nuance to make it a unique place for rest , reflection and renewal. Beaches and reclamations are good to exercise, feel the breeze and connect with the Universal Spirit

A group of us went to this beautiful park yesterday (Friday, Aug. 23rd). We came here 2 years ago and liked it so much that we decided to return. Both times, it was not crowded and there was plenty of free parking! We had a wonderful walk through the park and by the Lake! The gentle breeze off the water was so refreshing as the day was hot ... and the scenery was gorgeous! Great place if you're into photography! We stopped at the snack bar by the harbour to enjoy a relaxing break while sipping on our delicious coffees! We brought our own potluck lunch and ate it under a large picnic shelter that was surprisingly not occupied when we got there! Then we had a fun time playing a game of Taboo! It was a bit of a drive for most of us, but well worth it!! I highly recommend visiting this park whenever you have a chance!! 😊👍💜

The Lakefront Promenade Park is a delightful spot for a day out. With its scenic views of the water and well-maintained walking paths, it’s a great place to relax or enjoy a leisurely stroll. The park features ample green spaces, which are perfect for picnics or just lounging on a sunny day. The playground is a hit with families, and the nearby splash pad is a fantastic addition for kids to cool off. There are also several benches and shaded areas where you can sit and take in the surroundings. The only downside is that parking can be a bit of a challenge on weekends, and some areas of the park can get quite crowded. Overall, it’s a lovely spot with plenty to offer, making it well worth a visit.

Lakefront Promenade Park is a pleasant place, and our favourite spot for our weekends including many different facilities. No matter if you go for a me time, nature walk, family gathering or water activities, you will find your own way. There are several individual FREE parking lots and well maintained washrooms and boardwalk facilities. There are lots of green spaces and trees around the park, together with a huge gazebo near the Port Credit Yacht Club. Scenic Lakeshore View and clear Toronto skyline are so stunning, and you would like to spend a couple of hours there. It's great to bring our own lawn chairs, but tables and benches are still provided by the park. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely scenic walk. Flat and easy stroll. Free parking. But I wouldn’t call it a beach. Nice to relax on the bench and hear the waves hit the shore. Magnificent sunset, you’ll also catch some ships or boats sailing by.

We had 7-8 friends families get together at this park last month and it was so much fun. The park is pretty clean and lots of parking. Beautiful lakeshore and many activities to do. Kids can uave fun in the water as well as in the park. Lots of green space and trees. Must visit during summer and fall season.

Great spring fishing for carp . Great family space I fish with my oldest son while the wife plays with our youngest at the park or splash pad and we meet for a BBQ lunch then all play at the park or splash pads or just finish off with a walk or bike ride great day spend outdoors

They do a great job of activating the community and helping make the Beaches a destination.

love the planters and the banners thanks!

Love the community

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.

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.

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! 😕

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.

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.

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?

Was very excited to come here, we arrived later in the day due to other plans having been priority. The main entrance- we realized we needed to take a shuttle to the exhibits as the bridge is closed? We didn’t have to wait long for a ride thankfully (each way). The exhibits don’t seem to have an order to follow and sometimes we found ourselves a little turned around. There’s some on different floors as well. Probably should’ve done research on areas to see prior to going but usually museums and things like this have a better flow. we used a city pass to get tickets which was well worth it since this experience wasn’t our favourite. It’s aimed more so at children and families. It has a lot of fun experiments but it seems very dated in some ways and a lot of things were out of service which was sad. I enjoyed the Moderna exhibit- maybe because I’m in health care. I didn’t learn too much- but what I did was fun little tidbits and I really liked seeing the models and human body in action. We didn’t try food court. Parking was 12$ on entry. It’s a lot of walking as well but they have a lot of accessibility options. A little underwhelmed and disappointed, it seems if you plan your day to do the live experiments and events with the staff it would be better. Also staff was super involved and fun.

A wonderful little lake, excellent views and nice hiking trails. Easy access with picnic areas and parking. Did not have difficulties ourselves but for some the hike could be longer to go around. Remember where you entered , eg L1 to L18 markers.

It is very expansive and expensive to enter. Approx $28 after tax for a car of two persons. Trails were hard to navigate and very much nothing. The lakeside is lame. This place wpuld be great for a peaceful picnic. Lots of tables and space. The cost would clearly keep the population out. Its clean lots of parking.

Heart Lake is such a beautiful and wide open park. Everything is really well kept and maintained, and even the washrooms are clean, which is a huge plus. There are tons of picnic benches scattered around, so it’s easy to find a spot to sit and relax. The park has a bit of everything: a splash pad, pool, hiking trails, Treetop Trekking, and lots more to do. The entrance fee is on the steep side at around $28 per car, but it feels worth it when you see how much care goes into keeping the place nice. You can come here for a picnic, to hang out, or just to spend a day outdoors. Parking is never an issue either since there’s a ton of it, and it’s also a popular spot for people to host events.

It’s a wonderful scenic area with easy access for trails n family gatherings. Truly enjoyed a race event there. Treetop trekking is another great activity there.

We had an amazing time here! It’s a great place for a family picnic. The pool was perfect for swimming, and the lake offers a beautiful view. There were also other features we didn’t get to try, like the tree-top trekking, which would be a great option for our next holiday trip..

I did the kayaking by the lake with some friends. Customer service was great--I called a few times in advance for booking changes and was also greeted kindly and provided with support. We had a great time. Would come again.

In Parking lot, there are so many big nails. Why management is not looking into this. I saw around 8 nails in the parking lot. Be careful while parking. First you pay $28 for parking and then end up with a flat tire.

The Aga Khan Museum is honestly one of the most beautiful spots in Toronto. The outside of the building itself is stunning and super peaceful with so much natural light. I felt like I landed in a foreign place. The staff are all friendly and polite, making u feel welcomed into their space. Altough I would wish they can have a staff member at the entrance welcoming in guests and leading them to checkin. The exhibits are amazing — you really get to see the richness of Islamic art and history, and everything is presented in such a modern, thoughtful way for all kinds of audiences to learn and explore. The gardens and reflecting pool outside are perfect for just sitting and relaxing after walking through the galleries. There is a small cafe inside as well. Overall, such a unique and inspiring place. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something unique and meaningful to do in the city.

Aga Khan Museum is a stunning cultural gem in Toronto, offering a deep and inspiring look into Islamic art, culture, and history. The architecture itself is breathtaking — bright, modern, and full of light, perfectly complementing the exhibits inside. The museum’s collection is beautifully curated, showcasing artifacts, manuscripts, and art pieces from around the world. The temporary exhibitions are always engaging and thought-provoking. The staff are knowledgeable, and the guided tours add great context to what you see. Don’t miss the peaceful courtyard and the Diwan restaurant, which serves delicious Middle Eastern cuisine in a lovely setting. A perfect place for anyone who appreciates art, history, and cultural exploration — serene, educational, and beautifully designed.

I was genuinely impressed by the Aga Khan Museum. It features two beautifully curated floors with a variety of exhibitions that are both informative and visually stunning. The surrounding park is peaceful and well-maintained - perfect for a stroll before or after your visit. The gift shop also has a lovely selection of unique items. During our visit, we even saw a wedding taking place, which added to the charm of the whole experience. A wonderful place to explore art, culture, and history.

The Aga Khan Museum in Toronto is a true cultural gem that deserves every bit of a 5-star rating! From the moment you step in, the stunning architecture by Fumihiko Maki captivates with its blend of modern lines and Eastern-inspired elegance, creating a serene and inspiring atmosphere. The museum’s exhibits, focusing on the art, culture, and history of Islamic civilizations, are breathtakingly diverse and meticulously curated. From ancient Middle Eastern artifacts to exquisite calligraphy and textiles, each piece tells a unique story. The temporary exhibitions are always fresh and thought-provoking, offering new perspectives with every visit. The Persian-inspired courtyard garden is a tranquil oasis, perfect for reflection or a peaceful stroll. The staff are incredibly professional and welcoming, and the guided tours are enriched by their deep knowledge. The café and gift shop are also top-notch, perfectly complementing the museum’s ambiance. As a Toronto resident, I can’t recommend the Aga Khan Museum enough. It’s not just a museum—it’s a journey through the rich history and artistry of the Islamic world. An absolute must-visit! Five stars all the way!

Spectacular cultural and social experience! We arrived and were welcomed by a very nice gentleman who briefly described the museum. We took the guided tour of the”As the Sun Appears from Behind,” which was absolutely fascinating. It’s a temporary exhibit from the Al Budra award-winning Islamic art. Adding to the vibe, a duo played Islamic music in the courtyard. The restaurant menu (available on the website) looked very tasty. Since we visited between lunch and dinner, we enjoyed the fresh offerings at the cafe. We highly recommend this oasis. It was about 30 minutes by Uber from our hotel in Toronto, but well worth the effort. Also glad to see that the cafe used cutlery produced from plant starch rather than plastic. Oh, don’t miss the signature museum piece “Your Way Begins on the Other Side.” It’s a contemporary work 18’x6’ made with over one million gold plated pins. (See last of photos.) it speaks to the pitfalls and paradoxes encountered on the journey toward spiritual bliss.

I love this museum! I last came in 2019 before Covid pandemic changed our world, and it was with someone else. This time I came solo & got to enjoy each exhibition room on my own pace. Wonderful place, I love how much Persian (iran) pieces they have & such a warm welcoming environment! The person I even bought ticket from was Iranian so I love having the Persian connection fun! Went in a weekend towards the end of the day, not too crowded & there was an outdoor food event happening, truly a perfect day to be out at Aga khan! I loved being back after 6 years of not being able to visit Toronto & ofcourse when I’m back I’ll come again! The best museum in all of Toronto! ❤️🙏

Not much to see to be honest. The price for the entry is fair, so I don’t feel scammed. It may be good if you know how to read Arabic or the language on display there. Coat check is included or complimentary. There was some good pieces to see, for example, the old books. Mild experience for me. Maybe worth a visit if you are close by.

A Great Day Out at Vaughan Mills I recently visited Vaughan Mills, and it was an experience worth sharing! This shopping center offers an impressive array of stores, catering to everything from fashion and beauty to electronics and lifestyle. Whether you're after high-end brands or great deals at outlet stores, there's something for everyone. What really stood out was the variety of dining options from quick bites to full meals, there’s no shortage of places to refuel between shopping. I also appreciated the spacious layout, which made navigating through the mall easy and enjoyable, even during busy hours. Beyond shopping and food, Vaughan Mills has entertainment and family-friendly attractions, making it more than just a retail destination. It’s truly a one-stop spot for a full day of shopping, eating, and exploring. If you're in the area and looking for a well-rounded shopping experience, Vaughan Mills is definitely worth a visit!

Large indoor outlet mall that is quite unique in design in comparison to other malls in the Toronto area. Some outlet stores will offer better discounts and clearance products in comparison to the same stores in other malls. It can be tough to find parking at busy times. They only have 4 J1772 chargers which is not sufficient for a mall of this size. Tesla owners also use them instead of superchargers - go figure.

Vaughan Mills is a great mix of well-known brands, outlet deals, and a spacious layout that’s perfect for walking around. The variety of stores is impressive — you can find almost anything, from clothing and shoes to sports gear and home items. Parking is usually easy to find, and the mall is kept clean and well-organized. Navigation inside is simple, and there are plenty of spots to sit and take a break. If you’re visiting with kids, there are entertainment areas that make the trip even easier. Overall, it’s an excellent place for shopping or just spending a few enjoyable hours. Highly recommended!

Very good place to shope branded products at reduced prices. Well ranges of various products are there. I would say very best place with your family and spent whole day. A big food court is there to provide different types of cuisine with comfortable seating spaces.

This outlet mall is one of the best shopping destinations around. It’s a huge indoor mall with a wide variety of stores, from basic everyday brands to luxury names, offering something for everyone. The collections are updated and the outlet prices are definitely worth it, making shopping here a great value. Since it’s fully indoors, we can visit any time of the year without worrying about the weather, which is very convenient. We make it a point to visit at least once a month and always enjoy the experience. A must-visit mall for outlet shoppers!

Probably one of Not the biggest mall if ever been to. It’s so huge. But you can find everything there. We spend almost 5 hours in there and easily took 20000 steps. Good selection of everything. There could be more toilettes though. I don’t wanna walk 10min inside for a pee. Anyway, nice experience

It’s huge mall with a great mix of outlets, I really like the variety. Perfect spot for a full day of shopping and dining.

In Toronto, the Zoo is one of the most visited attractions for tourists and locals alike, as its focus on entertaining children and young adults means it's always bustling. If you're planning a visit, I recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance to avoid lines at the entrance. However, you can also try buying tickets at the door and get discounted tickets. The Zoo often hosts events at certain times of the year, such as this one for Halloween, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on their social media for more information on opening days. To get there, there's a shuttle service from Union Station and a bus that runs directly to the Zoo. If you're driving, they have private parking. For food, the park is very well-equipped, with plenty of snack bars, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a Tim Hortons. However, you can bring your own food, as the park has picnic tables. The park has excellent facilities for visitors with disabilities, with paved streets without potholes, access ramps, staff support, and accessible restrooms. The park also has lockers, where you can rent and leave your belongings. Along with all the animal facilities, the zoo also has a splash pad that opens in spring and closes in the first weeks of fall, a zip line, a carousel, and souvenir shops. The tour is very cool, and everyone is sure to be delighted.

Toronto Zoo is a great place for families. Even though there is construction happening right now and a few animals are not available to see, it’s still absolutely worth visiting. The zoo is clean, spacious, and well organized. My son enjoyed the kids’ learning areas and interactive displays. Friendly staff, lots of walking paths, and plenty of spots to relax. A great outdoor experience for kids and adults — we’ll definitely visit again!

We got our family season pass and would come about once every one or two weeks. There would be a lot of people on the weekends and can get quite noisy. We prefer to go on weekdays. There are many animals in the zoo and my toddler love it. There are some animals who are alone and it would be great if they may have a companion for them so they would be less lonely. The staff are usually very friendly and helpful.

Honestly, I love this place, but man, it is a workout. You absolutely need your most comfortable shoes because the zoo is massive and you will be walking all day. ​The enclosures are huge, which is great for the animals, but it does mean sometimes they’re hiding in the back and you can't see them. The polar bears were actually active this time though, which was super cool. It's a solid day trip, just be ready to be exhausted by the end

Overall great place. The only reason I removed a star is because, although I understand many of the animals not being out because November is cold, in the canadian area there were supposed to be 6 animals out and we were only able to see 3 of them. That was definitely not worth the absurdly steep hill we had to climb on our way back. That was the only downside of the experience. Loved the place though.

We were there in early November, I was surprised at how many animals we saw. In their winter housing situations and not available for public to view. I was impressed by the cost, it's very affordable for a family of four. And stayed at a local hotel with a pool. The kids already want to go back.

It is a fantastic place to visit with family and friends. We had a good time seeing all Fall colors and walking around. While animals in captivity is bad, it is still important to understand them and value their importance in our lives. They have so many different species of all kinds of animals. Some animals are always resting so you don't get to see them always. You have to pay $20 for the parking and the tickets are extra. They have plenty of parking though. Definitely recommend visiting once.

This location has many sub locations. It has a park, a beach and also a cliff side- all of these with beautiful views. Rotary park parking takes you to the beach which is breathtaking.

First time visitor on a really hot day. The view is nice not bad it's a very rocky beach so if you intend on walking on the beach don't. The one thing I disliked a lot is all the people on those little scooters that constantly were around almost running us over quite dangerous and I did not like that.

Lots of fun to be had ! Two separate playground areas. One for older kids and one for toddlers. There is also a big splash pad with lots of room. Plenty of outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy a picnic. There is also a beach area to enjoy. Washrooms are close by to the playground and splash pad. Paid parking on weekends 10$ for three hours by scanning the QR code online.

The Rotary park in Ajax is a little gem complete with a playground and a beautiful lakeside trail. There is also a little store on site that sells refreshments, to satisfy your sudden hunger pangs. The most beautiful part of this park though is the long and clean waterfront trail. There are plenty of bird houses on the trees. The air is fresh and the view is amazing. You can walk or run or bike or just enjoy the view with some ice cream.

The Rotary Park in Ajax is a conservation area that includes a beautiful park and a waterfront trail for people who love to walk and jog while enjoying the scenic lake view. The air is very fresh and this place is quite peaceful and relaxing. There are designated parking lots where people can park their cars. Great place to be during the summers!

Do you want to fish with a minimal wave? This place is loaded with fishes, especially catfish. You will enjoy a panoramic view of nature while fishing, kayaking, or paddle boating. Of course, you need to have your personal floating device worn all the time as you don't want to drown here. There's a big trail of bike and picnic area to enjoy aside from fishing.

Ample parkings on weekdays. There are public washrooms. The trails run to east and west. To the west, there is a long elevated bridge, very scenic. The trail continues across the Montgomery surrounding the nuclear power plant. Looked like the city did some Reno works lately. Nice trail.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is absolutely stunning! I visited recently and was amazed by the depth and beauty of the exhibits. It’s not just an art gallery—it feels like walking through Canadian history. The collection highlights Indigenous history, culture, and traditions in such a thoughtful way, with incredible displays of clothing, artwork, and storytelling. Every room felt meaningful, and the paintings and artifacts helped me connect with the history on a deeper level. It’s the kind of place where you leave not only inspired by the art, but also more educated about Canada’s cultural roots. I highly recommend this museum to everyone—whether you’re an art lover, a history enthusiast, or even someone training to be a teacher. It’s both beautiful and educational, and definitely worth the visit. A true treasure in Ontario! Such a beautiful and meaningful place! I borrowed a pass from the library (a great tip if you have a card—you can get in for free!) and the visit was so smooth. The staff welcomed us right away, and inside the exhibits were breathtaking. The museum shares so much about Indigenous history, art, and culture, and every piece felt powerful and inspiring. Definitely worth visiting if you love art or want to learn more about Canada’s past. ❤️😍🇨🇦👍🏻📚

A beautiful gallery nestled in a forested area, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, in the city of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, focuses on Canadian art, especially the Group of Seven and Indigenous artists. The space is peaceful, well laid out and full of natural light with a great mix of classic and contemporary works. There are walking trails just close to the gallery. A relaxing and inspiring place to spend a couple of hours, it is perfect for art lovers or anyone looking for a quiet escape. Besides the exhibits, the museum often hosts special shows, artist talks and workshops for children and adults. There's also a small cafe and a gift shop with art books, prints, and handmade items. One of the highlights of my visit was the Morrice in Venice exhibition - a glimpse into the work of Canadian artist James Wilson Morrice and his time in Venice. The collection captures the light, colour and mood of Venice in a way that feels both dreamy and grounded. The Morrice in Venice exhibition runs until September 25, 2025.

We visited the McMichael Gallery for the exhibition of Canadian artist James Morris and his Venetian cycle of paintings. The show was fairly compact but beautifully presented, with many works on loan from private collections. There was also plenty of additional material about the creation of the paintings and the artist’s biography, which made the experience even richer. The gallery itself always has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The gift shop is excellent, and I enjoy the café as well. You can also take a walk in the surrounding park - it’s easy to spend a whole day there. I usually buy an annual membership that lets me bring guests, and it’s a wonderful place to meet up with friends.

Can easily spend 2-3 hrs here, hike outdoors or admire the art indoors. Also recommend their Cafe the Cabin, the food is amazing. I had the squash soup and it was very creamy.

It's a bit of a trek from downtown Toronto, but the selections are incredible. There are a couple exhibits, including over 90,000 drawings from Nunavut West Baffin Co Op. There are many group of seven painters in this collection. The Morrice collection is fascinating, and it has many study paintings. This helps to understand the creative process.

A lovely place to spend the day. The gallery building, the grounds, and the trails are beautifully maintained. The cafe serves tasty light bites. The artwork is, well, spectacular. The history of the gallery as a private home and the collecting passion of the owners are very interesting. Well worth the drive from Toronto.

There were over 7000 Canadian exhibits displayed at Mc Micheal art Gallery and people are happy to learn about Canadian artists. If you have the time I highly recommended it, it's warranted a try. There are natural trails on the ground and Kleinburg is a quaint town to explore as well.

I have been going for a couple of years whether it be with family or friends and I always have a great time. This year was the first time I went in the fall — for Halloween haunt and let me tell you the vibes, decoration were way better. (Also fewer line ups) this year I went to the conjuring limited edition maze and I loved how interactive and fun it was. They did a great job. Do recommend

Cons: Overpriced and overrated. Parking is expensive, and food options inside are mostly unhealthy and way too costly for what you get. The overall experience doesn’t match the high ticket and food prices. Definitely not worth it for what’s offered; 1 out of 5. Pros: I visited Canada’s Wonderland this past summer and spent a full day enjoying both the rides and the water park. It was a hot day, so I started with Splash Works; the water area was lively but not overwhelming. There are several pools and slides for every age, and it’s a great place to cool off. The wave pool was a highlight, and there were plenty of shaded spots and chairs to relax between rides. After the water park, I explored the rest of the park and went on a few of the main roller coasters. The sight of the massive tracks and loops from a distance still makes the park feel impressive every time you visit. The atmosphere is energetic but family-friendly; with lots of music, food stands, and people having fun. I ended the day near the main fountain and mountain area, which looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. The water and landscaping give it a resort feel, and it’s a perfect spot to take photos before leaving. Overall, it was a great summer day; well organized, clean, and full of energy. If you plan ahead and arrive early, you can easily make the most of both the water park and the rides.

My husband and I went for the first time during Halloween Haunt on Halloween because we purchased a gold pass from a different amusement park. We got to try a Beaver Tail - Avalanche flavor and it was delicious! The level of detail that went into designing the Halloween Haunt was impressive. The decorations were awesome, there was specially named and unique food options, and there were different themed areas with actors dressed up in scary costumes. One area there were all zombies and another had clowns. The actors were clearly having a good time scaring people and it was sometimes entertaining to just watch them scare other parkgoers. It was also possible to bypass these areas if you didn't want to get scared. There was a freak show, a fire spinning show, and music performances throughout the night. We didn't opt to buy the extra pass to enter the haunted mazes - mainly because I'm not a fan. I rode a few coasters because there was no wait, but it was quite chilly. It was still exhilarating and a lot of fun. We will definitely be back when it is a bit warmer.

This place is fun, but a bit scary with the height of the rides. It is not for the doubtful patrons. Rides are going upside down over your head as you walk around in the park. Every one should try going to wonderland at least once in their lives. You don't have to buy a season pass, just a day pass will do the trick. However, if you are a lover of these Rides buy a seasonal pass. You can also add meal pass to the mix. It will work out very well the kids love to go to this amusement park 😀 there is everything for everyone from babies to adults. Sometimes you will be entertained with fireworks. Check it out! 🔥

WinterFest at Canada’s Wonderland was truly amazing! The heated igloo add-on option was the best warm choice of the night — cozy, private, and perfect for taking breaks from the cold. The festive lights, music, and holiday atmosphere made the whole visit unforgettable. Highly recommend choosing the igloo add-on for the most comfortable and magical WinterFest experience

Canada’s Wonderland is fun for kids, but the experience feels more like a money trap than a family park. The atmosphere is designed to highlight thrills and fun, but underneath it’s clear the priority is profit, not guests. Parking is $39.99, food and drinks are overpriced, and water access is limited to old fountains or dirty sinks. You can’t bring in much from outside, yet security checks are inconsistent—sometimes too strict, sometimes too lax, raising safety concerns. Customer service is lacking; staff rarely smiled or welcomed guests. Ride wait times stretch 1–2 hours unless you pay $179.99 per person for Fast Lane Plus, which doesn’t even include all rides despite the marketing. My kids had a great time, but they weren’t the ones paying. For what I spent in one day, I could have taken a family trip down south. The park succeeds at creating a “fun” image, but in reality, it’s a polished price-gouge. If you want true value and enjoyment, a small-town festival will give you more smiles, less stress, and far better bang for your buck.

Excellent experience as it was my 1st time here. Super thrilling rides, had the best time. Wait times are awfully long with regular ticket, highly recommended to get fast track tickets. I am definitely going back, still lots to do. The park is clean, they are doing a great job.

*A beautiful conservation area in Whitby where you can see many birds,feed birds and squirrels.We got lucky n saw a group of swans and deer as well. *The open expanse of grassland there is very beautiful 😍 *Many hiking trails .Feel free to choose as per your liking and trail distance. Parking: * There are 2 parking lots : 1) One for Annual pass holders only. 2) For day pass parking drive 600 metres from there to find the parking lot

BEAUTIFUL!! Would absolutely come back Only 7$ for all day parking so we thought why not. We weren't expecting much other than a walk through the woods but within minutes we were watching deer run through the fields and birds were following us for food. Then we came across a beautiful beach on lake ontario which made regret not having brought my towel and a bathing suit. Would highly recommend, beautiful area to explore!

One of the best places i have been in a while, whoever is planning to go to ajax, this is good spot to be at for a few hours, peaceful trails, sweet small lakes, a bunch of good deers & birds you can feed, never the less, you got a beach here too, which is lake ontario of course. Must visit

A beautiful and peaceful place to have a walk near the water. Deers, birds, fall colors, beach what else do you need. Never had an issue with parking everytime we went. Not a crowded place as well.

Always a great time, beautiful walks during all seasons. So much wild life to see, bring bird seeds to feed the wild chickadees from your hand. It's a beautiful experience always, family friendly fun. We go at least once or twice a month, sometimes more and it's always a new experience..go around dusk to see the deer! Woodpeckers, bluejays and cardinals are among some that will land on you to be fed along with the chickadees 🐦 10/10 we love it here.

Great conservation area with plenty trails and wildlife. Would highly recommend getting an annual parking pass to the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) which gives you access to the lot off Victoria Street which is closer to the head of Lynde Creek.

Although we only really came for the fireflies, well worth the drive! I attached two videos but they’re not the highest quality. Would recommend!

Beautiful conservation area with well-maintained trails, peaceful surroundings, and lots of nature to enjoy. Great spot for walking, hiking, or just relaxing. Loved the scenic views and quiet atmosphere—perfect for a nature break in Whitby!

Great place for cycling. The paved trail from Cullen Gardens is beautiful and the railway trail running parallel is technical at points but mostly rideable with tires of 35mm+. Would be great to explore the whole park on a mountain bike.

Great conservation area in Whitby that has some nice trails to explore and enjoy. Well maintained and quite peaceful. Hiking is easy. Had a wonderful time here.

Stunning conservation area. Trails range from easy to difficult. Inside the woods the path is clearly marked, pretty well maintained (minus some erosion from rain), & have varying ranges of elevation. There is a 750m trail designed for wheelchair & other mobility aid users. Bikers, dogs on leash, & casual walkers will all be found here. Paid parking is 6$

It was a peaceful winter walk with ample paid parking. I had the trails almost to myself, only seeing five other hikers. I spent two hours there but could have easily spent all day.

Heber Down Conservation is a lovely place to walk. There are plenty of trails to enjoy. You can easily walk for 2-3 hours. It's so peaceful, not crowded at all.

Pros: Paved main parking lot, affordable parking fee, lots of picnic tables and a great assortment of trails for any skill level. Beautiful and well maintained trails. I saw lots of families with children which was nice to see. The dog park seemed popular too and there was a garbage recepticle for the doggy bags close by. I didn't encounter any cyclists. Cons: I noticed many people walking on the wrong side of the trail and it was clear they lacked the proper and expected walking etiquette. They expect YOU to move or switch sides which is confusing, annoying and rude. We're in Canada, we walk on the right side, why is that hard to catch onto and follow? Many of the people I encountered here don't say "hello" when you pass them which I found strange. It's you and another person in close proximity on a trail and there is no acknowledgement or response? Next time I'll come earlier in hopes of seeing less people on the trails. The public washrooms are literally a hole in the ground and it's not possible to flush, really disgusting. Thank goodness I didn't need to use it.

The farm is full of amazing fresh produce and local baked goods. We also picked up jerky and my son said it was the best he's had! It looked good, tasted good and smelled good. Also, don't skip the cold pressed strawberry juice!!!

Hy-Hope Farm is a very cozy and welcoming place that gives you a real feel of nature. If I'm not mistaken, it's a family-run business, which adds a warm and personal touch to the experience. The café is lovely, offering delicious cookies, fresh bread, and great coffee. They also have a nice selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s the kind of spot where you can slow down, enjoy the surroundings, and support a local farm. Highly recommended!

Another one of my family’s annual summer bucket list stops - Hy-Hope Farm! There’s something about this place that hits differently every time. We come back year after year. The kids know exactly what they’re doing the moment we park. They head straight for the open space near the orchards to run wild; my husband and I follow the smell of warm pie drifting from the market. What I love most is how beautifully unpolished everything is. There’s an effortless charm to it all. The market is small but filled with the kind of produce that practically glows. Crates of peaches, heirloom tomatoes, homemade jams lined up beside buttery baked goods. The pie scent alone is enough to make you slow down and just stand there for a moment, breathing it in. Design-wise, it’s simple but thoughtful. Rustic wood tables, faded painted signage, flowers in jars that look like they were just picked from the fields. The concession stand is always a hit. We’ll grab something fresh and hot, find a spot at one of the picnic tables, and settle in while the band plays. I always feel this deep sense of ease here. I’ve been meaning to come back in the fall for apple picking. I can only imagine how stunning the farm must be with the leaves turning!

Nice farm and golf course. Beautiful lawn and siting area to enjoy some food. Pretty flowers and fresh produce for sale.

The smell of smoke, a variety of pickles, organic garlic, and unpasteurized honey created an inviting atmosphere. The display of good-looking apples added a fresh touch, and although the apple pie left me somewhat unsatisfied. My next visit is already planned to explore their bread and cakes, as I'm sure they will be equally delightful. The only observation I'd like to share is about Sunday mornings. It seemed like the store or the staff might not be too keen on being open during that time. Considering this, either not opening on Sundays or perhaps leaving the responsibility to younger staff could be a win-win.Noticed that the older staff members seemed a bit impatient and not friendly.

So as for the golf. It’s a beautiful short course. A great place for beginners and avid golfers. Some challenging holes that can test anyone. Small greens so accuracy is key to a low scoring round. Great condition course from tee box’s to green. Then the food at the cafe is great. Fresh produce and baked goods at reasonable prices! You must try the raspberry coconut squares they are heavenly! Also the fresh juices they make will serve you well pre or post round! I highly recommend playing this course or even just visiting the farm shop. Support your local Canadian run and owned businesses!!!

Our "go to place" year round for everything grown in the ground. Also our fridge is always stocked with brown free range eggs. Never go back to supermarket eggs. You can taste the difference.

I love this park. You have it all. It has a beautiful trail along Holland River. Park is specious and you can picnic. It’s great for kids. Great for walking pets. It’s great to spend time with friends and family there. It’s also beside Main Street in Newmarket so you have access to all amazing coffee shops, restaurants and stores. There always some kind of an event happening there during summer. This park has it all. Picnic area, trails, playground, river, restaurants, coffee shops and more

Its a very beautiful park. Just next to downtown. The trees, tracks everything is super nice. Cyclist track is also there. Autumn season colors are the best here.

2022 October 4★ Fairly lake park runs along the river and as such, has multiple bridge crossings. The park is part of the Tom Taylor Trail which runs about 7 or 8 kilometres North to South. Within the park, you'll come across gazebos, benches and Kilometre Trail Markers. There's markers use natural elements, art is inspired by the environment and the native Ojibwe ancestors. 10 trail markers in total will enhance your experience and help track your journey along our trail system. Free Parking within the park or along the side streets. A playground nearby.

It was early December and it was overcast. It was not busy on a weekday Friday. Went along the east side of the lake, continued after the first bridge, to the boardwalk. Crossed the second bridge, then came back from the west side of the lake. The loop was pretty short and easy.

Also known as Wesley Brooks Conservation Area is a great place for everyone. However, need to be careful of the cyclists as a lot of them are just going way too fast even though the paths are so supposed to be shared with everyone. Yet I had to pull my kids over many times because they don't even slow down or stop even for little kids. Some don't even give warnings that they are coming. Still the kids enjoyed the boardwalk and the playground.

A big lake park with so much greenery and biking space. You get to see Canada goose and their poop ( be careful not to stamp on) all around you. Fortunately we saw the Beaver hanging around the pool that connects the two sides of the park. Play zone is quite beautiful.

Beautifully manicured and a trail big enough for walking, biking and other summer activities. There is a lot of wild life around and tree coverage. It's a beautiful spot to walk - dog friendly as well!

This is one of the best malls in Ontario. It is one of my favorite places to go. There are not too many people there and the space is big enough to, not feel uncomfortable. Free and not rushed.

Love visiting Upper Canada Mall! The washrooms are clean, and both floors are easy to get to via stairs, escalators, or elevator. The food courts are good with some halal options, and Toys “R” Us has a fun play area that my son absolutely loves. Great shopping experience overall!

I come here almost twice a week as seniors is incredibly empowering, not so crowded, friendly people and sales person. Everything you want to buy is there at a reasonable price, very clean, bus outside parking big free come and get it. Enjoy the Aircon on summertime.

A short visit to Upper Canada Mall is a major shopping destination in Ontario, offering a diverse mix of retail, dining, and entertainment options. Its convenient location and extensive amenities make it a popular choice for shoppers. Having an huge parking area for visitors.

Beautiful and elegant. Spacious for dinning and walk around

Was told by an employee I can get a refund. Went to the store and was told that I can only get credit. Explained to them that an employee gave me the wrong information. They refused to make an exception. Ask for the name of the store manager and was told that I can't have it. Referred me to concierge. I told them I can't get through for days now. They said they they respond within 24 hours.I told them I contacted them more than 24 hours ago.They told me they're backed up. One BS answer after another. How do these people stay in business?

Upper Canada Mall is a great place to shop. The mall is always very clean, well-organized, and has a wide variety of stores to choose from. Whether you’re shopping for clothing, electronics, home goods, or just want to grab a bite to eat, you’ll find everything here. It’s a comfortable and enjoyable place to spend time.
