Very nice area. The water was wonderful and my kids really enjoyed it. This is also a great fishing spot. Beach area is small, washrooms and change rooms are available. 3 hour max parking for approx $10. The parking area is a zoo, lol. There's also a park area for the kids to play. There's also a beautiful board walk. I call it lovers lane lol

A beautiful old carousel by the lake! The kids had a great time and it felt like stepping back in time for just five cents. Some of the original animals are still there. We also enjoyed the beach. The water was nice and the kids had lots of fun! Only challenge is getting a parking nearby.

Date of visit: June 28, 2025 A Magical Ride Through Time in Port Dalhousie Step into a piece of living history at the Lakeside Park Carousel, a beautifully restored LOOF treasure that’s been delighting visitors for generations. For just 5 cents a ride, you can hop aboard one of the hand-carved wooden animals and enjoy the charm of this century-old masterpiece. The craftsmanship is stunning, the setting by the lake is picturesque, and the ride is pure joy—whether you’re five or fifty. It’s a popular spot, but don’t worry: lines move quickly thanks to the efficient and friendly staff. A must-visit for families, history lovers, and anyone who appreciates a little old-fashioned magic.

Timeless treasure in the Niagara Region. Many beloved childhood memories here and I am delighted to return as an adult. Everyone can enjoy a piece of history with the Lakeside Park Carousel – and please consider donating so it can be enjoyed by future generations 🩷
Rebecca J — Google review
The carousel is right by the beach, surrounded by trees and picnic areas, so it’s easy to make a whole family outing of it. The music and hand-carved horses give it a nostalgic feel, and it’s always well maintained thanks to the city and volunteers. Parking is available nearby, and washrooms are close by in the park. It’s busiest on sunny weekends, but the line moves quickly. Whether you’re visiting with kids or just want a bit of old-fashioned fun, this is a must-see stop in Port Dalhousie — timeless, affordable, and full of heart.
Ahmad A — Google review
This carrousel I believe is the oldest one in the country. It is iconic and a wonderful piece of history still cost only a nickel and it’s situated at Lakeside Park the popular Rush song it talks about Lakeside Park, beautiful beach, and park and a lot of amenities around there from dining to exploring solid five out of five in Port falhousie would highly recommend once you’re finished navigating around the park you can walk the pier to have a great vantage point of some of the best sunsets around. Great place to visit whether you are a local or a tourist.!

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.

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. 😊
Cinder L — Google review
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.

Very nice modern winery. Built on a hilltop overlooking a very large acreage of vines on every side. Building is beautiful with very high ceilings. There are plenty of tables outdoors and the setting is very beautiful. Service was really outstanding and just the right pace. My wife and i had some drinks and a light dinner. The chardonnay was really good, especially the oaked one. We had the burrata salad and it was really good. The best burrata we ever had. Shrimp tacos were beautiful to watch and delicious. We finished with the strawberry lemon cheesecake. Really outstanding dinner. Highly recommended.

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!

A hidden gem in Mississauga! Rattray Marsh Conservation Area is one of the most peaceful and beautiful natural spots in the GTA. It’s a perfect place for a walk if you want to reconnect with nature without driving hours out of the city. The boardwalk trails are well-maintained and wind through lush forest, wetlands, and open marshland. Being here feels like you’re far from the city. There are also scenic lookouts and benches along the way to sit and enjoy the view. It’s great for photography, casual walks, and even just clearing your mind.

Overall, Rattray Marsh is a must-visit if you enjoy nature trails and want a quiet escape close to home.

A hidden gem in Mississauga! It’s a beautiful conservation area with a long boardwalk over the marshes. You can follow the boardwalk all the way to a shingle beach. The beach is fairly long with lovely views of the Toronto skyline. It’s a peaceful place; even on the weekend it was not busy. One of the entrances to the conservation area is from a quiet, secluded residential area. It’s a great place to connect with nature and get some exercise.
Noor K — Google review
Beautiful park! Took the stroller and did the most of the Waterfront Trail, the Knoll Trail and Silver Maple Trail. I would say the Knoll Trail was best for the stroller as it was almost all boardwalk. The Silver Maple Trail had parts where it was less flat / maintained, with tree roots and such, making it a bit harder without a proper jogging stroller. There was a couple of small steps where the Waterfront Trail connected to the Silver Maple Trail, as well. No entrance fees or tickets needed. Overall the park is gorgeous, the trails are well maintained and it is a great spot for hiking!
Anja M — Google review
No tickets required to enter the place. We can park vehicles at Jack Darling memorial Park as there are no parking at Rattray Marsh Conservation area. We need to be in foot only on the broadwalk, no bicycle is allowed. Get prepared for insects and ticks. It has a good views and many animals to view.
Dhruv P — Google review
A lot of great views. You will have to park through John Darling Park. The view of the skyline and the water in John Darling is worth a trip. And an entrance to the marsh can be found around the back. Alot of nice spots to stop and take pictures on the trail. ~40-60 minutes to enjoy everything. No tickets needed.

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. 🌳💫

What a view of Lake Erie! The water: clear, calm, and vast. Fossil beach is amazing, you can easily locate a fossil on this rocky beach, a great place for children. The lookout is well maintained and has beautiful views. A good place for families to spend a day on the beach which is covered by pebbles, clean and smooth.

Camping here was just like camping at most Provincial parks. The sites are clean, average sized and well spaced out for privacy. The beach was gorgeous though. We loved exploring on the 'rock point' and finding fossils on it. The water was warm for swimming and plenty of space on the beach to set up for the day and play. The day use beach was the better swimming area. The staff was super helpful when I made a booking boo boo and accommodated us no problem! Will return soon.
Jennifer S — Google review
We camped at a different park, but visited this park for the day as it was relatively close by. Sites all appeared to be good sizes. Can't remember the trail name but we did the one that took you to the rocks with all the fossils. It was a beautiful day to be down by the water and have a breeze coming off the lake. The fossils are really cool and I think most curious kids, and kids at heart would find this really cool. The trail continues to a stair case and look out, its worth the hike!
Tracey — Google review
I was so impressed with this provincial park. Campsites are very nice and clean. Sites are big enough for small group to play games. The Site we had was having good privacy and washrooms were close enough. Beach of this provincial park is very clean and water is good to swim during hot summer time. Beach is very good for morning walk and trails are decent.

Absolutely gorgeous and seriously underrated national park! So serene and quiet. The campsites are well maintained and so is the comfort station. The store was great and would recommend grabbing a scoop of grammy’s cupboard ice cream! The beach was stunning and the water was awesome! Wear water shoes because it’s rocky/shelly and filled with awesome fossils. Make sure to check out the lookout point too! Biggest recommendation is to watch the sunset at the beach and rise in the morning - absolutely stunning! Definitely a great camping experience for some peace and quiet!

I planned on visiting this park to hike and explore. I knew there wasn't much hiking here but the beach is stunning. I brought my bike and was about to ride around the camp ground paths as others were doing so. To bike the entire park too me around half an houe. There are few fossils located on the beach. They are not hard to locate either. Seems like a hot spot for trailers. Dunville is close by if you need amenities and there is a very large ontario parks store within the park.

The skating experience here was great! Went on a Saturday night and loved that it was not over crowded. The park was so cute with lights and skate rentals provided on site. There were washrooms and some staff available to help on ice. Skate aids require a helmet rental and are limited to around 4 so it’s first come first serve. We are new skaters and once on the ice, it was manageable but if you need support like rails or barriers then this may not be the outdoor rink for you. There was also ample parking on site. Would recommend.

All times fav park 😌with a lot of activities to do Chinguacousy Park, is the heart of Brampton. It is a nice park which that exemplifies natural beauty and recreational excellence. Spanning over 200 acres, the park features a diverse landscape that includes lush gardens, expansive lawns, and tranquil water features, creating a picturesque setting for relaxation and outdoor activities. It has golf, train ride fountains, farm animals, rides for children and too much to explore. And nice view from the top of the hill. One of the park’s standout attractions is its beautifully maintained botanical gardens. The vibrant floral displays, seasonal plantings, and well-designed garden beds offer a feast for the eyes and a peaceful retreat for visitors. The park's numerous walking trails meander through its natural beauty, providing scenic routes for leisurely strolls and invigorating runs. Families and children will find much to enjoy with the park’s expansive playgrounds, splash pads, and picnic areas. The serene pond and fountain offer a calming backdrop, enhancing the park’s appeal as a place for reflection and leisure. Additionally, the park hosts various community events and activities throughout the year, contributing to its lively atmosphere and strong community engagement. Overall, Chinguacousy Park combines natural beauty with recreational amenities, making it a cherished destination for both relaxation and enjoyment in Brampton.

Ok this park is awesome. We went around 11:30am so still plenty of parking. We did the petting zoo, splash pad, park and mini golf. We had alot of fun although my daughter fell at the splash pad hitting her head, saying it was quite slippery. Will take water shoes next time. Everything else is great though and will go back.

A nice and fun place for family. You can embrace nature even when you live from the city side. It has a huge playground for kids, peacful place for relaxing in the fountain side. There are tables for picnics (Clean as you go). Not too crowded especially on weekdays. Best season to catch here for me is fall. I hope this information helps. See photos for more details. It was all taken during fall.

Perfect place for nature-lovers…one can do brisk walk, cycling, jogging and many more other activities while enjoying the scenic beauty of greenery, water pond, blooming vibrant flowers and cool breeze. So many rides for children, along with the splash pads for kids and adults as well. One can have a great picnic time with family and friends there. If not to do anything, just sit, relax and breathe; you will find yourself in the lap of mother nature there😊😊

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!!

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.

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.

Nestled in the picturesque region of Caledon, Albion Hills Conservation Park offers a refreshing escape from urban life. The sprawling riverfront park features camping, mountain biking, a seasonal pool, and picnic tables. Outdoor enthusiasts can rent bikes, boats, or paddleboards to explore the numerous trails and lakes in the area. Additionally, visitors can unwind at the beach or fishing pier.
Peaceful place! Entry - $9 per person! Perfect place to spend weekend with your homies! Got Volleyball nets to play around. Don’t get fooled by the Lakeview, there is no lakeview, it’s just marketing. But overall a really good and peaceful experience.

Lots of trees and trails, no natural beach, pay to enter swimming pool/splash pad. Many serviced campsites have trees on 3 sides, non serviced sites are more open. Only 1 shower/ laundry bldg, otherwise vault toilets at each camp area. Scout out the trails to get to shower and pool quicker. Serviced site 111 closest to shower.

Had a fantastic hike with friends over the long weekend. The fall colors were absolutely beautiful, and the trails were wonderfully quiet. We paid about $27 for three people, which was very reasonable. A word of caution: beware of ticks! They seem to be extremely active here in October and November. One of the little hitchhikers decided to come home with me. A thorough check once you get back is highly recommended!

It is an amazing place for hiking. The natural habitat and the edifice there makes it an ideal place for weekend picnics, retreat and even recollection of the soul. What amazed me there was the 100 years old cabinet used to produce maple 🍁 syrup. Mind you it's also having a mountain biking trail. It's an amazing place for relaxation and fun.
Tamo S — Google review
October 2025 3* Visited the place with my kids over the weekend. It is good place if you are looking for good picnic spot and splash pad for kids in summer. Also this place offer great options for treking and biking. There are many trek for biking and walking with different difficulty level. The is entry ticket for the park. The park charge $9 per adult and $7 per kids. So quite a good amount if you are big group. However there is not much to see in terms of fall colours. Lake has dried up so you can not experience it. Other big issue is that the place has ticks and need to be careful if you going in the wood. So if you are looking to visit, ensure that you are wearing light colour trouser, tuck in socks, ankle covering shoe, mosquito repellent on feet and use brush to clean yourself. Be careful if you are planning to visit with kids and check throughly after return.

Nice location with water/electric hookups. Campsites are pretty close together. Laundry room with 3 washers ($3/load) and 2 dryers ($2/load). Showers were disappointing. No place to put your clothing + shower curtains were covered in mold/mildew.

I visited Albion Hills Conservation Area on a Sunday, just a few days after my disappointing experience at Sibbald Point. The difference was truly remarkable. Here, the atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and welcoming. The entire park was clean and well-maintained, from the picnic areas to the walking trails. Even the washrooms were impressively tidy — only one of them seemed to have been left messy by visitors, not due to a lack of cleaning. Compared to the chaos and litter at Sibbald Point, Albion Hills felt like a completely different experience. It was clear that the staff are attentive and take pride in keeping the park enjoyable for everyone. A wonderful place to relax, connect with nature, and recharge. I will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, peaceful, and well-managed park.

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.
Natasha H — Google review
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.

The site also hosts events and boasts an arboretum. It's an ideal location for photography year-round, with the Mediterranean Room offering a warm indoor setting during winter. There is a small fee to access this area, but it's well worth it for the stunning photo opportunities.
Beautiful facility! We visited on a weekend and decided last minute to go—buying tickets on-site was quick and hassle-free with no wait time. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially as we had dogs with us and were figuring out where we could go. Clear signage made it easy to know which areas were off-limits for pets, and our dogs loved exploring the outdoor spaces. Overall, such a wonderful and relaxing activity—I’d highly recommend it!

Dundurn Castle National Historic Site

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Dundurn Castle, a stately Italianate villa built in 1835, offers guided tours by costumed interpreters. With over 1,700 square meters of living space and about 40 rooms, this Regency-style manor house showcases stunning Neoclassical design with four grand pillars at its entrance. Once the residence of Sir Allan MacNab, who later became Canada's prime minister, the castle boasted innovative features like running water and gas lighting.
Beautiful, historic place to see. The tour lasted 45-60 minutes and the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of this place and the people who lived here along with servants. The tour brings you back into 1830 with 42 rooms, original furniture, pictures and clothing.. Amazing how things were 'done' 200 years ago, before the industrial revolution. The castle was full of servants and everyone knew their duties. The time very well spent...

We planned on always visiting but something came up so we decided on that day to just go and we did. We loved it beyond words, from start to finish. The atmosphere was incredible, clean, friendly with the staff always greeting us answering anything we needed. The tour guide was the sweetest person very polite and informative as were the other members inside. I would highly recommend visiting and taking a tour. If you’re from Hamilton I would recommend getting your library card to cover the cost. No issues with parking as there was ample space. I would suggest taking the tour twice to fully embrace the experience.

We stopped by Dundurn Castle while driving around and only explored from the outside this time. The grounds were beautiful—we even caught a glimpse of a wedding, which made the visit extra special. The highlight for us was the Kitchen Garden, a large and well-kept space where staff dress in period costumes. It’s a lovely spot for a stroll, and we look forward to coming back to do the full tour another day.

Next time I’ll definitely go inside, but for now the exterior alone gets 5 stars!

Crawford Lake Conservation Area, located at 5234 Kelso Rd in Milton, is a vast park with a rich Iroquoian heritage site and offers stunning views of the canyon from its lookout point. The area boasts 19 kilometers of trails that wind through lush forests atop the Niagara Escarpment. Visitors can explore the boardwalk surrounding the rare meromictic lake and hike through the picturesque surroundings. Additionally, nearby Esquesing Conservation Area features a 1.
The walk around the lake is absolutely lovely — the boardwalk trail makes it an easy and scenic loop, perfect for all ages. The lake itself is peaceful and surrounded by forest, which makes for a relaxing stroll. One of the highlights was the tour of the Longhouses. It was both educational and fascinating to learn about Indigenous history and culture in such an interactive setting. The interpretive signage was informative without being overwhelming. The visitor center is small but very charming — a great little stop with helpful staff and interesting displays. I also noticed quite a few families enjoying the area, including parents with strollers, so the trails are definitely kid-friendly and accessible. Highly recommend for a day out in nature with a bit of culture and history added in!

Why visit: 1) This lake is beautiful but more than that it is a geological gem as it is a MEROMICTIC LAKE . Where the water layers in the lake do not mix . Thus helps scientific research to learn about the generations past studying the lake sediments. 2) Great trails around the lake and towards Rattle snake conservation area. 3) You can picnic the whole day here with family. 4) Being a green belt,even during the highest temperatures in the summer,you will get cool breeze and dense forest cover from the intense sunshine.Perfect respite from intense heat. 5) A good place to bring kids and toddlers 6) Huge wooden statues of various species are fun and entertaining for kids and adults both

A real gem. The 1km trail circumventing the lake is iconic. The 2.5 km escarpment trail is also interesting. The part from CL01 to the lookout is slightly difficult with some rock sections but the part from the lookout to CL02 is easy. The visitor centre closes at about 4 pm and so does the access to the washrooms, which is not ideal.( There is another one near the picnic area which is rustic hole-in-the ground). A good place for a summer picnic with friends and family. Would recommend buying tickets online as the gate is not manned till 11.00 am, making it a little complicated. Also cheaper.

I visited the area in the weekend. I paid online the fees , $10.50 per adult. I purchased the tickets when I arrived. We went in three trails. The one I liked was escarpment trail. The nature is beautiful. However the washrooms don't have soap and water. I recommend having your hand sanitizer and your toilet paper 🧻.

Well, this is truly an amazing place. I recommend a visit here and a visit to the wildlife care centre while in the area. The walk down to Lake Crawford is similar to a hike down to the Don River in Toronto from south Leaside. It isn’t something I would recommend for elderly or wheelchair individuals. The re-created long houses are really spectacular and harken you back to a time when these were community houses for entire families of indigenous peoples. Pick a sunny day, get in the car and head west. Enjoy

What a great museum. First time coming, and I really enjoyed my time there. Full of beautiful historic planes and equipment. I appreciate the volunteers and people who work there, doing what they do to preserve and maintain these amazing machines and honoring the men and women of the time and what they did. I look forward to returning on Canada Day when the Lancaster fires up. We took the tour led by Phil, very enjoyable. He was entertaining and full of knowledge. Thank you.

Great place to learn about Canada's contribution to the world wars. Minus one star for the aged and disabled who wish to visit the open flight deck but have to walk up 3 flights of stairs. Thanks to all the young and experienced cadets who are really impressive with their product knowledge. The restorers and engineers are doing an amazing job fixing up this rare collection. The Runway cafe is really good value with all the usual fast-food you'd expect. And acknowledgment to the pilots who give their passengers an unforgettable experience

What an awesome place. My 13 yr old wants to be a pilot and just being there with him was such a great experience. There was a large group of air cadets when we were there so we could not get a guide, but the self guided tour of the museum was fine. Would absolutely recommend to any plane enthusiasts and also anyone wanting to see some really neat Canadian history. Very well maintained, I really loved seeing these planes being restored, just awesome important work! Would definitely go back
Jessica K — Google review
The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is more than just a museum – it’s an experience. What I loved most was the hands-on aspect. Unlike many museums where everything is kept behind ropes, here you actually get to climb into cockpits and explore the interiors of some of the aircraft. It felt amazing to sit where real pilots once sat and imagine what it must have been like to fly. The collection itself is incredible. Each aircraft comes with detailed stories and history. I was especially impressed that many of the planes are still in flying condition — it’s not just a static display, but a living museum. The museum is also very family-friendly. Kids seemed to love the interactive displays, and adults could spend hours taking in all the history. Overall, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum offers more than just a look at planes — it’s an immersive, hands-on experience that connects you to Canada’s aviation history in a very real way.

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is an incredible place to visit! You’ll discover so much about aviation and military history through engaging exhibits and displays. One of the highlights is their life-sized interactive avatars, which share fascinating stories and historical details—perfect if you prefer listening instead of reading. The museum also features beautifully restored aircraft, some of which still fly, making the experience even more special. It’s educational, interactive, and enjoyable for all ages—whether you’re a history buff, an aviation enthusiast, or just looking for a family-friendly outing. Recommended 💯% !! 😊

A racetrack that is very nice! Big grand stands that are glassed in, lots of lights, food hut outside as well as a bar with a good selection of drinks, a small patio area around the food hut to eat at, small smoking section, and lots of picnic tables, chairs and some patio couches. There is a trackside restaurant, usually you need reservations but they gave us a table in the back we couldnt see the track but they gave us drinks (even doubles, casino wont do that) and took our orders, the food took aome time but when it came it was yummy broccoli soup and the beef brisket with onion rings. It was pricey as expected and the bar tender was our waitress since we were seated so close to the bar, overall it was an ok restaurant it did the job and filled us up..

We were disappointed! Started in the casino, seems to be games with heavy house odds...no craps, no poker. No luck with slots...ever, have gone a few times this year, sadly we won't be going again. We then had dinner at trackside bar to watch the horse racing. Horse racing is always fun to watch and betting is fun, however...dinner was really, really bad! Good service, really bad food. Probably won't go again until things improve alot! So disappointing

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Brantford Twin Valley Zoo Ltd. is a delightful small zoo that offers an intimate experience with over 80 species of animals, including majestic lions, playful bears, and elusive wolves. Nestled within the scenic Brantford Twin Valley Nature Park, this hidden gem is perfect for families looking to spend quality time together. Visitors can enjoy both regular admission and guided tours from spring through fall, making it easy to explore at your own pace.
We had an amazing Thursday afternoon at the Twin valley zoo in Brantford. I honestly wasn’t expecting much when we initially decided to visit. I assumed it would be a few “local” animals in a small area and not much else. I couldn’t have been more wrong! The zoo was absolutely fantastic and we had such a blast for my daughter second birthday. The animals range from deer, pigs to TIGERS! And Grey Wolves?!? The animals have huge enclosures and appear to be really well taken care of. The sheer amount and variety of animals was incredible and I can say with complete honesty that we had more fun than we do at the Toronto zoo. The zoo is family owned and has been for decades, we learned. We had such a lovely day that we fully intent on coming back again soon. It’s just a shame it took my 30 years to find this place!

Plenty of parking and open space to wander around the zoo. Playground for the kids was nice. The enclosures were pretty big for the animals and appeared clean. We also appreciated how much shaded areas there were to get out of the sun.

There’s a nice variety of animals to see, and it’s the perfect size for kids to walk around without getting too tired. The staff were all very friendly and happy to answer questions. You can tell they really care about the animals. A really fun and family-friendly place to spend a few hours!

This is a great little zoo we had a great time seeing all of the animals the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I visited with my two daughters and my granddaughter. My Granddaughter brought her barbie with her. At some point she dropped the Barbie and my daughter's and I didn't notice. However one for the lady staff members remembered it in my granddaughters hand and knew whom it belonged to so she picked it up jumped on a golf cart and began searching for us.....she found us and gave it to my granddaughter totally saving the day Thank you so much Twin Valley Zoo and staff for a very beautiful outing with my family.

Such an incredible time at the Twin Valley Zoo! We brought our entire group of special needs athletes to the zoo a few years ago and it was such a wonderful experience. We went again this past weekend and holy it is even better! Every year that we go this place just seems to be getting better and better. It was extremely inclusive, welcoming and the most wonderful zoo experience that I’ve ever had. Fierce N Fit Boxing cannot wait for our next trip to the Twin Valley Zoo!

Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate, a Gothic Revival-style church, was built in 1888 on the highest point in Guelph. Constructed entirely of locally quarried limestone, this impressive structure is considered one of Joseph Connolly's best works. The renowned Canadian architect specialized in Gothic Revival churches and designed this cathedral to rival St. Peter's in Rome.
I had the opportunity to visit the Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate in Guelph on a weekday, and it was a truly serene and awe-inspiring experience. The basilica’s stunning Gothic Revival architecture, intricate stained glass windows, and beautifully detailed interiors make it a must-see for anyone visiting Guelph. The quiet weekday atmosphere allowed me to fully appreciate the peaceful ambiance and the grandeur of this historic church. Whether you’re there to pray, admire the craftsmanship, or learn about its history, the basilica offers a sense of calm and reflection that’s hard to find elsewhere. A beautiful landmark and a testament to timeless architecture – highly recommended for history, art, and architecture enthusiasts.

just visited the Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate in Guelph, and it was seriously impressive! I'm always on the lookout for stunning landmarks, and this one definitely delivered. Inside, it's so peaceful and beautiful. The light streaming through the colorful stained glass windows was magical. You can really feel the history and the importance of the place. It's the kind of place that makes you stop and just take it all in. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Guelph. It's easy to find, and wandering around inside is a great way to spend some time. It gives you a real sense of the city's character and history.

This is one of my favorite historic site in Ontario. inside and out are so stunning, well detailed.

I visited the BASILICA OF OUR LADY IMMACULATE today, which is in Guelph. It was a half an hour drive from my place in Waterloo and I have been wanting to visit the Bascillica for the longest time ever. Although the website said the Basilica closes at 3 pm, we were able to visit and pray in peace when we reached there at 3:30 pm. The place has a very calm and soothing vibe, it's very peaceful and beautiful. I spent around 20 minutes there talking to GOD. And then witnessed the amazing architecture. One should visit the Bascillica if they need a break from the busy world and want some peace and time to talk to GOD. Don't forget your 3 wishes if you're visiting the Bascillica for the first time. 🤭

Port Dover Beach

Mentioned on 
9 lists 
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Port Dover Beach is a quintessential Ontario resort destination that perfectly captures the essence of summer fun. With its inviting sandy shores, it's an ideal spot for leisurely strolls, fishing, or simply soaking up the sun. The vibrant downtown area is just a stone's throw away, offering charming boutiques and delightful cafes to explore after a day at the beach. This beloved local gem not only serves as a gathering place for community members but also attracts visitors looking to unwind in its picturesque setting.
Port Dover Beach is a charming lakeside spot on the north shore of Lake Erie, known for its sandy shoreline, warm waters, and laid-back vibe. The beach is family-friendly, clean, and walkable, with nearby shops, eateries, and the famous Arbor hot dogs. It gets lively during summer and especially on Friday the 13th biker gatherings. While not as expansive as some beaches, its cozy atmosphere and local character make it a favorite for a relaxing day trip.

Its a small beach which is a great spot for swimming. It is a beach to swim at your own risk. The water seems to be moderate clean and is not survillienced by sea divers. Not a steep shallow beach so swim can be enjoyed with care. Kid friendly. Have a number of tikki bars along the shores. A great number of Restaurants along the entrance. Has paid parking space and crowded during peak holidays.
Anil J — Google review
The water isn’t the cleanest, but people were still enjoying swimming and playing in it. It gets quite crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, so be prepared for lots of people. Parking can be a bit challenging to find, but I found a spot for $4 per hour in a municipal lot about a 4–5 minute walk from the beach.

This is a nice artificial beach by Lake Erie in Port Dover city. The beach is not big, but it has enough space for the fun and relaxing time you want. You can play volleyball on the beach. Also, you can have your boat in the lake. The water is clean, but you may find some algae by the shore. There are many local restaurants around the beach area that you may try. This is a fabulous tourist spot. I would definitely recommend this place for visiting.

A small, quiet beach that’s usually not too crowded—perfect for a peaceful visit. The water is clean, though the sand near the shoreline could be better maintained. One of the nice perks is having some great ice cream spots nearby, making it a pleasant place to unwind on a warm day.

Port Dover Lighthouse

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Port Dover Lighthouse, built in 1904 to replace an earlier structure, is a simple white-painted wooden building with a square iron lantern. It previously had a hand-operated foghorn but now has an automatic one activated by ships. The bustling pier is popular for fishing, especially for the local Lake Erie Perch. Visitors can enjoy the lovely beach and nearby amenities like ice cream joints and restaurants. However, finding parking may be challenging during peak times.
The lighthouse is located where the Lynn River opens to Lake Erie. There is metered parking nearby at the beach. You can walk all the walk out on the pier and get a full closeup of the lighthouse. This morning was super calm so it was a fabulous view. The nearby caption reads, "The first Port Dover lighthouse was a 7.3 metre (24 foot) high wooden structure built on the west pier at the mouth of the Lynn River in 1845 as a small harbour light for the active shipbuilding, square timber trade, inshore fishery and, later, coal and railway shipping. "It burned in 1846 and was rebuilt in 1847. Today's lighthouse is one of the oldest examples of pre-Confederation small harbour design surviving in Ontario. It is a simple wooden square tower, tapered slightly at the top, with a single entrance door, flight of stairs and a window. "Its fixed light with three burners provided visibility for 16 kilometres (10 miles) and functioned in conjunction with a back range light. Around 1900, modifications altered the top configuration of the tower and eventually the wooden structure was completely clad with metal sheets. The lighthouse was moved a number of times, reaching its present location in 1986."

I recently visited the town of Port Dover, Ontario, and I have to say the natural scenery and attractions there are truly stunning. The historic lighthouse and scenic riverside walks were an absolute delight. The views of Lake Erie and the surrounding landscape were breathtaking. However, I was quite disappointed by the condition of the beach on the day I visited. Despite the natural beauty of the area, the beach itself was not as clean and well-maintained as I had hoped. There was quite a bit of litter and debris scattered about, which detracted from the overall experience. As someone who enjoys spending time at the beach, I found this to be a real letdown. The lighthouse and riverside areas were wonderful, but I had been looking forward to relaxing on the sandy shores as well. Unfortunately, the beach's unkempt state made that quite unpleasant. I understand that beach conditions can vary depending on factors like weather, visitor traffic, and maintenance schedules. But I would have expected a tourist destination like Port Dover to have a higher standard of cleanliness, especially in the peak of summer. Overall, I would still recommend visiting Port Dover to take in the stunning views and historic landmarks. But I would suggest checking the beach conditions ahead of time or being prepared to potentially be disappointed if the sand and shoreline are not as well-kept as one might hope. The natural beauty of the area is undeniable, but the beach experience left something to be desired on the day I was there.

Bell Homestead National Historic Site

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Bell Homestead National Historic Site, located in Brantford, is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. It was the former home of Alexander Graham Bell and is where he invented the telephone in 1874. The site offers guided tours, interactive exhibits, and educational trips that provide insight into Bell's life and achievements. Visitors can also enjoy family activities and private rentals at this beautifully preserved house-museum.
Visited the homestead on Family Day 2025 and my family and I had a great time. Brian, the tour guide, was informative and very knowledgeable. He had an answer for every question we had. He also was very patient with our two year old son who didn’t grasp the hands off concept at first. We visited right after a bad winter storm and the pathways around the property were very clear and safe.

We had the pleasure of visiting Bellstead in Brantford, and it was truly one of the most enriching and memorable experiences we’ve had in Canada. Standing in the very place where Alexander Graham Bell lived and where the world’s first long-distance phone call was made felt nothing short of magical. The house is beautifully preserved, and the storytelling throughout the tour brought history to life in the most engaging way. A special note of appreciation goes to our guide — a kind and knowledgeable lady (I believe her name is Katie / she’s also featured in our pictures posted here) — who patiently answered every question and took the time to ensure everyone in the group felt involved and informed. Her passion for history truly made the tour unforgettable. For anyone interested in innovation, history, or simply a quiet, meaningful outing, Bellstead is a must-visit. Thank you for preserving this treasure and for making our visit so special.

Visited the site during 2025 Victoria Day long weekend. We were blessed as it was a beautiful day with no rain but a slight overcast, so it wasn't too hot either! Countryside is always beautiful and a treat for the eyes. It is a quaint neighborhood, and I'm always curious how people in these small towns spend their time. Whereas we living in the main city/downtown literally have everything at a short walking distance! Spring and summer are the six months where most Canadians make the most of outdoor activities.
Munazzah M — Google review
I thought this would be a quick 10–15 minute stop at a small historic place, but I was pleasantly surprised! The visit included a fascinating 1.5 hours guided experience covering Bell’s life, the invention of the telephone, and the evolution of early communication technology. Every minute was engaging, and the stories truly brought history to life. At just $12.50 for admission, it offered excellent value — highly recommended!
Eric S — Google review
We had such a great time. We did the 5 senses program with my homeschooling group. Friendly and engaged staff. We had to guess which rooms were which based on the hints of what was in the room. The story reading part was fun but too long. Definitely needed to be cut down or some how more interactive. Would love to actually have the kids try an old phone system. The Braille section was far too boring explaining the eye and how it sees differently. Kids were at the end of the tour and getting quite antsy. It's certainly interesting but again needs to be far more interactive/ hands on like a model of the eye or glasses that they can wear that shows different ways people can see. The Art station wasn't what I expected. That was the most disappointing. Painting some sort of landscape would be much more interesting just like Eliza would have. That requires much more work but would flow well with everything offered. Overall it was really good and fun to learn and discover about the Bell homestead. I highly recommend making the trip.

Drove by late night when closed. I thought, let's stop. I'm in town and may as well. It was lovely and an opportunity to dream about the past and the Canadian who invented such a revolutionary tool, serving as a launching pad to the device so many of us carry. He would be so blown away! A beautiful homestead lovingly preserved. Antique lovers will appreciate its ambience. A link to the past, history is a journey back in time. Magic!
Skye S — Google review
It's been in my backyard my whole life but I finally got there with my friends. I was so happy I went. It was worth the drive from out of town to experience and learn about the technology that created the number one item in the world - the telephone. Our tour guide Addison, dressed in period costume was FANTASTIC. He didn't just read a script about Alexander Graham Bell and his family and legacy, he TOLD their STORY. He knew his stuff, and he was able to answer all the questions that were asked. It was engaging, interesting, fact-filled and I enjoyed it throughly. Would recommend booking a time for your tour if you on a schedule. We went in the morning without a booking and had to go and have breakfast, and then go back in the afternoon, but that suited my friends and I just fine. Kids area, lovely grounds. Kudos to all the staff we encountered who were pleasant to deal with.

This was an awesome experience, we loved it all. I booked us in for the one hour guided tour and Katie was an excellent guide, super informative and answered all our questions. The history was intriguing and the family stories were so inviting to learn more. We also enjoyed tea and cake in the Exchange Cafe, which was so yummy. A must visit to learn more and see the home preserved with such historic intrigue. Well done thank you for the experience. Spicy Jan, Tasty Road Trips

St. Jacobs Country Playhouse is a cozy and well-sized theatre located in the southwest of the province. The lobby features a bar and can accommodate most guests, while volunteers help you find your comfortable seats, which offer great sightlines and perfect sound. The parking lot is spacious, and the tickets are reasonably priced for the quality of performances offered.
I recently saw Misery at St. Jacob’s Playhouse and really enjoyed it! The acoustics were excellent, and the intimate size of the theatre means there isn’t a bad seat in the house. I was especially impressed by the clever set design. The way they created the different rooms of the house was so well done. It was also really crafty how they managed Paul’s movement around the stage in his wheelchair during the scenes. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more shows here. If you want to escape the chaos of heading into Toronto and avoid the overpriced tickets of most Mirvish shows, St. Jacob’s Playhouse is a fantastic alternative - great performances, reasonable prices, and a charming local atmosphere.

The staff were so incredibly friendly and helped me take down any heavy items I had to be brought to the front desk to wait for me. Some items were way overpriced. I found that particular to that particular vendor and nothing actually wrong with 95% of the other vendors. I will be back and with a bigger amount of money that I can spend. So happy I was able to have gone.

This was a really fun place to show up to. I’m happy that I went. They have tons of options and three huge floors of stuff to buy now in terms of prices. Some vendors are reasonable. Some other vendors are pretty heavy-handed with their prices. The staff is really kind and I look forward to coming back here pretty clean by the way doesn’t have any weird smells.

Always a great time searching for treasures! Many helpful people that will carry your finds and take them to the cash. I found 8 Cookie Jars this time to add to my collection! We will be back on our next road trip!
Debbie R — Google review
This place is as much a market as it is a giant time machine. Prices are very reasonable and the variety and scope of items is huge. You will see things here that you haven't seen since you were 6 years old. The staff regularly walk the aisles ready to assist.

Checked this place out yesterday after seeing it advertised all over social media. I would highly recommend going when you have several hours free. I didn’t even get half way through it and was there for 3 hours. So many things to look at and see! This place has a little bit of everything! It unfortunately isn’t handicapped accessible for anyone not able to use stairs.

City park
Local hub for sports & seasonal events, with a river, playground, skate park & picnic facilities.
Pretty awesome park overall. There are lots of geese and ducks that are friendly, too. Designated baseball and soccer fields, lots of benches, and gazebos. Good parking and a skate park as well. Overall, it's the best city park I've been to.
Donald B — Google review
Lovely park, very large. Lots of baseball fields, skate park, memorial garden, decent river running through and waterfowl, splash pad and playground. They hold lots of special events, and July 1st is a great time! However, there is almost no parking for the size. Most of us park on the grass beside the roads, and create parking spots under trees. And parking on the streets outside the park is difficult. It would be great to have better parking.

This is a beautiful park. The park encompasses so much you could spend a day relaxing there. You must watch where you step closer to the river as there are many Canadian Geese and Seagulls there, lol. Definitely don't let it stop you from visiting. I am not from the area but would go just to have a nice day!
Sue W — Google review
Quiet and spacious park to visit. This spot is perfect if you want to have a more low-key area with amazing views. There was an interesting amount of things to see such as the ducks and geese, the small lake and the waterfall rock. Parking isn’t an issue as there’s a good amount of free parking spots.

It was a nice park . This park has lots of activities for your kids. You can have a family time here. This is a huge park You can enjoy quality time here. You will see lots of Canadian goose and few swans in the lake beside this park. It has free parking and washrooms too! Overall a nice experience!

Nice park. Always full of kids easy for children to play with one another. Just watch out for that rolly slide as it has left marks on kids legs and looks like it could possibly pinch fingers. A lot of different activities for all ages even for the younger ones. Has a shaded picnic area with tables. Baseball diamond. Restroom area. Has a pond area as well and floral area with a mini rock water fall.

Tom Patterson Theatre | Stratford Festival

Mentioned on

Performing arts theater

Theaters
The Tom Patterson Theatre, part of the renowned Stratford Festival, is a contemporary gem that offers an intimate experience with its unique thrust stage design. Originally known as the Casino, this venue has a rich history of hosting legendary big bands like Count Basie and Duke Ellington. Visitors can explore public areas such as the inviting lobby and charming café without needing tickets, but to access the theatre itself for shows or workshops, tickets are required.
The acoustics, stage lighting and effects were amazing. The theatre is beautiful. The only complaint that I have was that because of the remote location by the river, it is difficult for seniors with mobility issues to have a choice of places to eat. Therefore the theatre’s restaurant has a monopoly on food and was over priced.

Theatre has a lovely outdoor patio. Parking on site is available and wasn't full at all. Good view from all seats inside

Amazing venue designed for stage plays! The staff, architecture, washrooms and maintenance were all excellent. The food and drinks at the cafeteria could have had more variety though.

We went to see Ransacking Troy, and I was blown away. And not just by the play, but by the theater as well. A beautiful building inside and out, with a store, dining and bar areas and not a single bad seat in the whole house. I will definitely be coming back!

Incredible theatre built in 2020. Modern amenities, brilliant architecture, exquisite staging, lighting, and stagecraft. We saw two plays here (The Winter's Tale and Forgiveness) and both were extremely well done and enhanced by their presentation at Tom Patterson Theatre.

A very nice, modern theatre. The stage forms a narrow peninsula surrounded by the audience. This makes for a very different experience.
Mel R — Google review
An amazing experience in a beautiful, light filled and airy theatre. The common spaces never felt crowded. You can see the river from wherever you are in the lobby. There were an ample number of washrooms and no queues. The theatre space is lovely and seats were velvety and comfortable. Be sure you enjoy the outdoor patio and the adjacent garden.

The Avon Theatre, part of the Stratford Festival, is a historic venue with a classic proscenium stage for plays, musicals, and concerts. Situated along Downie Street, it originally opened as an opera house in 1900. The theatre boasts a charming atmosphere and is well-maintained despite its age. Visitors can also spot Justin Bieber's star outside the theatre where he used to busk before becoming famous.
Saw Anne of Green Gables this past weekend. The interpretation was incredible; keeping in line with the main story but adding a new, modern twist. As well, there were lots of comedic and heartfelt moments. The acting was brilliant and the set perfectly done to reflect each time period. The Avon Theatre is a beautiful theatre, with comfortable seating, washroom facilities that were plentiful and moved quickly. There is also a good-size shop onsite if you are looking for show merchandise.
Tamara H — Google review
The Avon Theatre in Stratford is a charming venue, with a classic look on the outside and a comfortable, welcoming feel inside. The seats are fairly comfortable with the sound and lighting being usually excellent. The location is great too — right in the heart of Stratford, close to shops, cafes, and parking. The staff are friendly and helpful. One thing to note is that the seating can feel a bit tight if the theatre is full, especially in the older sections, as was my case when I went to watch Macbeth there recently. Also, some of the best seats tend to sell out quickly, so it's a good idea to book in advance. Overall, the Avon Theatre is a nice place to enjoy live performances, especially as part of the Stratford Festival. The quality of the performances is first-rate.  As part of the Stratford Festival, the productions are top-tier. The Stratford Shakespeare Festival was launched in 1952 by Tom Patterson, a local journalist. Today, it has grown into one of Canada’s most popular cultural events. His vision was to bring Shakespeare's works to life in the town of Stratford, Ontario, a location that shared its name with the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. At the time, Stratford was a small town, but Patterson believed that bringing Shakespeare’s works to the town could not only elevate its cultural profile but also serve as an economic boost, drawing tourists from around the world. The idea was somewhat ambitious, given that Stratford was not known for its theater scene at that time. Patterson's vision eventually gained support from several key figures, with local residents rallying behind the project.

We watched a beautiful reproduction of the Anne of the green Gables in Avon theatre in downtown Stratford. The venue is great with a beautiful layout. The production was also amazing. Strongly recommend watching Anne of the Green Gables.
Veria H — Google review
Came here for the first time and experienced the Anne of Green Gables play. To me it was just ok. Our first impression of going to Stratford was a pain because this city doesn't have enough parking for the theatres so we spent 20 minutes looking for parking with every lot full. Then rushed to arrive on time. Small issue: this venue lacks having enough washrooms for the amount of people during the 15 minute break. The play itself was mediocre. The actors/actresses were tremendous but this was a very liberal twist on the story of Anne of Green Gables. They added a gay character. Took a shot at the current USA VP. Among some other things I won't mention. To me, politics should stay out of plays unless it's necessary. The story lacked authenticity in the second hour and I wish I just left at half and explored Stratford. 2/5 ⭐⭐

We came to see Macbeth and I don't think I've ever seen a show with better stagecrafting! The theater was lovely, with a really nice shop and a concession area where you could pre-order for intermission! What a great idea! We'll definitely be back again!

The Avon Theatre is a real treat. Not a bad sightline in the whole theatre (in my opinion). I often sit in "obstructed view" seats and rarely feel that I'm missing any of the action. The seats are comfortable, the lobby is light and the staff are helpful and kind.

We absolutely loved our visit to **Pinafore Park**! It was the perfect spot for a fun and relaxing day out with my wife and son. The park is beautifully maintained, with lush greenery, scenic walking paths, and plenty of space for kids to run around and explore. Our son had a blast at the playground, which was clean, safe, and full of fun equipment to keep him entertained. We enjoyed a lovely day by the water, watching the ducks and taking in the peaceful atmosphere. The splash pad was also a huge hit—perfect for cooling off on a warm day! What really stood out was how well-kept and family-friendly the entire park was. There were clean restrooms and ample seating. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind, play, or just enjoy nature, Pinafore Park is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back soon! Highly recommend for families!🌳👨👩👦💙

We were on the lookout for a perfect spot to have a BBQ, where the kids could run around, and we stumbled upon Pinafore Park by chance. It turned out to be an amazing discovery! The park is absolutely beautiful and so well-kept. There's a fantastic playground packed with fun things for the kids to play on, plus some spacious pavilions where we could enjoy a picnic and relax. We ended up taking lots of gorgeous photos amidst the colorful flowers and stunning scenery. We can’t wait to visit again!

Pinafore park has to be one of my favorite parks. It's always a good time and usually plenty of friendly people. The park has plenty of picnic areas and large covered gazebos to cover your event quite nicely if it rains. The park is clean and there's plenty of parking. If your looking for a relaxing evening in the sunset. Pinafore park is a great place to let high strung children(my granddaughter) burn off all that excess energy just before bed time. Great place for an outdoor birthday party or family reunion. If you've never been to Pinafore park take the pilgrimage, its vast and beautiful, no regrets, no worries. Luv Malcom💪😎💙Stay strong St Thomas.

Springbank Park is a vast and picturesque park located along the Thames River in London. It spans nearly 350 acres and offers a variety of attractions, including 30 kilometers of trails, picnic areas, soccer fields, and Storybook Gardens. The park features well-maintained pathways that run alongside the wide river, providing scenic views over the water. With its mix of pleasant gardens and unspoiled wilderness, it's a popular spot for relaxation and outdoor activities.
I love Spring Bank Garden. One side has a free Wading pool that opens at the end of June and also a beautiful play structure for kids to run back and forth from the pool. Park has a nice soccer field. The other side has a story book garden where u get a ticket to go in and enjoy a fairytale garden with a beautiful splash-pad and a mini water slide. The park has bar b Q stoves that u have to book in advance as told by a worker there.

this is a great Park to bring your kids to. There is a very current up-to-date climbing equipment along with a splash pad. The Pats are well maintained although they can get busy at times. The smell of the river isn't that bad if you stay far enough away. There are ample public washrooms that are extremely clean and well-maintained.

The park is spectacular right now with a superb display of blooming spring flowers and giant blossoming trees. Bring the family and friends for some magnificent photo opportunities. A walk through the Graham Arboretum section will definitely put a smile on your faces. There are about 20 kms of paved multi- purpose trails with some parking immediately adjacent to the paths which makes this one of the most accessible parks in London. The signage is clearly marked and it provides excellent information about the nearest public restrooms, picnic areas, and attractions. The long bridge across the Thames River offers wonderful views and beautiful photo opportunities. The ancient willow trees along the shoreline pathway are fantastic. There is a long staircase from the upper parking lot off of Springbank Drive but the lower park can also be accessed by the paved roadway at the end of the parking area.

Good for walking around the park! It's more like a park for nature sightseeing, so most people come here for picnics and relaxation. I got to see a lot of squirrels as well. The squirrels were really friendly (they even stood up to greet me as well).

Very nice park. In the fall, a variety of colors. The river I think is suitable for rafting, the current is decent. Ducks and geese walking on all lawns and paths leave a lot of surprises))) it's a little uncomfortable. .the child liked it, a large area for running and walking. There are many barbecue areas.
