We had the burger, shrimp taco, chicken sandwich, and beef dip French sandwich. Everything was tasty and well-prepared. The service was excellent and the staff were all very kind and helpful, which made the experience enjoyable. If I had to mention a couple of small points, the vegetables could have been a bit fresher and the meat could use just a touch more spice for extra flavor. Overall, though, it was a great meal and I would definitely recommend Caroline Cellars.

This was our first time at the Caroline Cellars restaurant, and we really liked it. The restaurant was very busy, so we had to make a reservation two days in advance. Everything we tried was very tasty, but the highlights were the shrimp tacos and the trout—both were absolutely amazing. We also enjoyed the wine; they had a good selection of wines by the glass, and the ones we chose were excellent. The service was good, the prices reasonable, and we will certainly be back next time we’re in NOTL.

This was the first stop on our wine tour, and it ended up being our absolute favourite! 🍷 The selection of wines was fantastic, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the incredible service from Doug Johnston. He took the time to learn our individual preferences and made personalized recommendations that we all loved. We could’ve easily spent the whole day chatting with him about our lives! We’ll definitely be coming back in the summertime — can’t wait!

We stumbled upon this cozy spot tucked away in a cellar and were pleasantly surprised. Despite the place being completely full, we added our name to the waiting list and were seated fairly quickly. The ambiance was charming and rustic, with a welcoming atmosphere. We tried both the panini and the burger. The panini was satisfying—crispy bread and generous filling—but the burger definitely stole the show: juicy, flavorful, and stacked with fresh toppings. The side salad with both dishes was fresh and balanced things out nicely. Service was friendly but a bit slow, and there were a couple of small mistakes with our order. Still, the staff handled it with grace and kept the experience positive overall. Would return for that burger alone, and hopefully next time the service will be a bit more on point.

Caroline Cellars made our visit unforgettable. We enjoyed a wine flight and a birthday lunch that was out of this world. The wines were beautifully balanced, and the food was fresh, flavourful, and generous. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a celebration. I can’t recommend it highly enough, an absolute must visit!

An absolutely wonderful spot in the heart of Ontario! The wine is outstanding — rich, aromatic, and truly delightful. The food is delicious, with portions that are huge and more than expected. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is warm and attentive. A perfect place for anyone who appreciates local products, genuine flavors, and a homely touch. We will definitely be coming back! 🍷✨

I had a wonderful experience at Caroline Cellar. They offer a great food alternative — everything was delicious. The service was warm, attentive, and truly made the visit even more enjoyable. What makes it even more special is the drive to get there — absolutely stunning scenery that sets the perfect mood before you even arrive. It’s definitely worth the visit for the full experience: great food, welcoming atmosphere, and a beautiful journey. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful wine tasting experience! Jae Bum, general manager was very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He not only guided us through the wines but also shared fascinating insights about the history of the winery and the business. His expertise and friendly manner made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended! Incredible time we had.

I visited Pillitteri Estates Winery on my own and had a wonderful experience! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and they explained the ice wine-making process in detail. I especially loved the Vidal Icewine — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The Sparkling Icewine was also amazing, refreshing with a unique sweetness that made it stand out. The winery itself is beautiful and relaxing, perfect for photos and enjoying a peaceful moment. Highly recommend visiting, especially if you’re a fan of sweet wines or trying ice wine for the first time!🥰😍

Amazing experience at Pillitteri! The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. We joined the Chinese tour which was very helpful and informative. The icewine is absolutely delicious!! The best icewine! We bought a few bottles. The best part is that they can ship the wines directly to us, which is so convenient.

The public wine tour was decent, and thank goodness for the three samples to enjoy along the way. The wood fire pizza was absolutely one of the best I’ve ever had—worth the stop alone. But skip the ice wine cocktails; they’re overpriced for the small pour and the flavor doesn’t match the cost

We ordered the guided tour from travel agency. We were originally going to Inniskillin, but I didn’t know why the agency took us here. In any case it was rainy, so the Chinese receptionist asked us whether went outside or not. We thought the outside means the vineyard, so we refused. Then the tour just introduced the family history of the owner in a passage about ten minutes, even not the history of the wine. After that she brought us to taste test, “without mentioning they have wine cellar to look around”. She just wanted us to taste the ice wine and purchase, and asked other type which she likes, she said she didn’t drink wine(Me:??????), so just recommended the best seller. At the beginning we just chose three bottles ice wine. I can feel that she was unhappy cause we brought too less. (I had to emphasize she didn’t force us, just looked really unhappy.) Thus, we requested to taste other kinds, and she say we can buy 6 get 1 free (free was cheapest). The price of ice wine was CAD70 / CAD75 / CAD 85 / CAD100 / CAD150.（Depends on different varieties.) Anyway, this tour and receptionist made us feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Because receptionist didn’t remind us to visit the wine cellar, and just eager us to buy the wine, lead to miss the viewpoint. The ice wine taste good, so the 2 star came from it. But I hope I won't see prices that are much cheaper in other stores.

We joined the wine tour. It was amazing. It comes with wine tasting. Highly recommend. It is actually our first time to try their wine. We like the wine with a bit of fruity and sweetness, so immediately fall in love with them.

Our favourite winery. Best tasting wines and selection (the Rosé and Strawberry Ice Wine were exceptional). Our tour guide was incredibly informative, and provided great insight to the history of the winery. Additionally, the exceptional attention to detail, architecture around the property and in the buildings was a beautiful touch to the experience. Can’t wait to come back!

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

Fantastic pizza, delicous cold drinks..... From the second we came here we were greeted by the friendliest staff. Food service was super fast and the food was delicious. ( smoked meat pizza ) is my recommendation. It was perfect ❤ After a great lunch we all did a tour of the distillery..... A huge shout-out to LIAM! ( our tour guide ) what an amazing character, funny and extremely knowledgeable. Made the tour and the end of the afternoon so much fun. The tour was great, tried some delicious drinks and came out of there buying a bottle of the vanilla liqueur and a bottle of #99 whisky sour . Amazing place to spend a whole day eating, drinking and laughing. Can't wait to come back! Thank you Wayne Gretzky Estates! Wonderful memories have been made here.

We visited Wayne Gretzky Estates for a tasting in the Club Room and had such a great time. Our server, Lisa, was fantastic! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the experience feel special. The tasting itself was excellent, and to top it off we ended with a round of cocktails. The highlight was a fun little murder mystery game that actually earned us a free cocktail for our next visit. Such a unique and memorable touch! Can’t wait to come back.

Wayne Gretzky Estates Niagara-on-the-Lake is unlike any winery I’ve ever been to! The atmosphere was so relaxed and genuinely family-friendly, which is something I’ve never experienced on a wine tour before. It almost felt like a big park in the back, where adults could sip wine and cocktails while kids played and enjoyed the space. The shop was really cool, filled with classic hockey photos and Gretzky memorabilia. I loved the casual, upbeat vibe of the whole place. There’s also a restaurant on-site, which I didn’t get a chance to try this time, but it looked great. I heard there’s even a skating rink in the winter, which sounds amazing! Overall, it was alive, happening, and just a fun place to be, especially for families.

Fun tour to do while in niagara on the lake. The tasting was enjoyable trying red and white wine along with their famous whiskey and whiskey cream. Delicious! They also provided a discount on bottles at the shop after completion of the tour. The restaurant was also pretty good just wish it had abit more shade.

We have come many times and has almost become a tradition to stop here at Wayne Gretzky's to pay homage to the great one and to stock up some of his wines. Today we did a tasting and really liked the ice wine and whiskey . The beauty of doing a taste and gives you a discount at the store!

Canadian wine isn't really my thing, but I enjoyed a pleasant enough visit to Wayne Gretzky Estate winery on a recent trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake. The wine is downright bad (I am sorry to say this, but I would call it completely undrinkable), but the grounds and setting of the winery is top notch. Wayne knows what the people want, and he delivers - just not in the category of tasty wine. The winery itself is modern and welcoming. As a hockey fan, I especially appreciated all of the memorabilia of Wayne's record-breaking days as a professional athlete in the NHL. Take some time to browse so you can see it all. Also, be sure to check out the well-curated gift shop, which features some cute hockey and wine themed merchandise. We arrived in the evening without a reservation, and luckily the hostess said she could find a space for us. The tasting room was very busy, but we had a high top table for two. I noticed the clientele was mostly female / groups of women who looked like those "see and be seen" type of ladies, all decked out in designer shoes and handbags with perfect makeup and hair. This is a great place for a girls' night out, with its welcoming yet chic atmosphere. We opted for two different tastings from the menu so we could have a nice variety of wines. We chose a range from white, reds, and dessert wines, and there was absolutely nothing to our liking. We were also hungry and I was delighted they had a modest food menu (we ordered the warm baguette with whipped maple whisky butter for $10) which was tasty enough, if not Earth shattering). The tasting itself was just okay. The service was prompt and our knowledgeable hostess answered all of our questions (but wasn't much on small talk). The major problem I had is that she was doused in stinky perfume. This is a huge no-no at a winery, and whenever she came by to check on us or to deliver something to a nearby table, all I could smell was her perfume. It's not that it smelled rank or anything, but it really did interfere with the taste of the wine. The wines were very low quality, and I couldn't bring myself to take more than two tastes of each one. I guess if I had to drink something it would be the dessert wine, which was creamy yet the overpowering maple is definitely an acquired taste. Note that tastings are pricey and bottles are as well. There's a separate bar for tasting spirits and a stunning outdoor patio area if you want to come and hang a while. I'd definitely return here for the grounds and setting alone, but I'm going to pass on the wine.

Wonderful experience! Loved learning about hockey history and doing the wine tasting, everything was excellent. Great atmosphere and friendly staff - highly recommend.

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!

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 visited Tawse Winery on a quiet Monday and had the whole tasting room to ourselves—it felt like a private experience! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views in every direction. We chose the flight of four wines and were especially impressed by the 2022 Pinot Noir and the sparkling Riesling—both were exceptional. A peaceful, beautiful spot with fantastic wines. Highly recommend!

We did a wine education experience for 4 with Romena and it was quite delightful! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the winery and wines we savoured. She was also very knowledgeable in addressing all our questions. Just a lovely way to spend an afternoon!

This winery is amazing!!! The wine is the best ❤️ Donnatella was our wine guide. She was so knowledgeable, kind, helpful, she recommended wines according to our liking. She was amazing! Thank you!! Best wine tour I’ve gone on. Book with Donnatella , she’s the best!! 😘

An absolutely gorgeous winery with wonderful wines, a great way to pass some time. AND, the tasting fee is waived if you purchase two bottles of wine. Since we enjoyed our samples, buying Tawse products was not a difficult decision

We had a splendid afternoon at Tawse this past weekend! Donatella was superb as our wine guide, and her recommendations were right in our wheelhouse. She definitely enhanced an already wonderful time!

The difficulty here was making a decision on what to buy and wish we had a greater baggage allowance for our flight home! We'd had one of the wines with dinner on our trip so made an unscheduled stop to visit the Tawse shop. As we had a minor with us we hadn't booked a formal experience or tour. However shop staff were incredibly friendly, both advising on the wine and making suggestions of activities for our next stop. All the wines we tried were lovely, as was the cider and if ever passing again would definitely pop in again.

We have visited Tawse, our favourite winery, numerous times. Not only is their wine outstanding, and frankly world class, you can enjoy your wine on the beautiful patio, or you can choose a more casual spot watchimg the goats and overlooking the stunning Niagara Bench. The customer service is always excellent and they now offer some wonderful and delicious snacks to complement the wine. They also produce an excellent whiskey. 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!

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.

We love the Vieni reds across the board. The Bruce Trail wine is especially good for a reasonable price. We also stayed at the guest house with friends. It was very clean and comfortable, with a fully-equipped kitchen, not to mention being a beautiful refurbished old house. Conveniently close to many other wineries and restaurants. Staff are friendly and responsive.

Working with Mackenzie to plan our wedding was a blessing. She put in so much effort to make sure the day was exactly how we wanted it. She quite literally saved the experience for us. The venue flows very well and is so beautiful. We hardly had any decorations because the natural beauty of the vines and the barn were more than enough to give an elegant and warm mood. Vieni also accommodated our need of having two very different cuisines for dinner. They put in extra work to coordinate with the caterer and make sure everything was still elegant and easy for guests. The Airbnb on the property is the cherry on top. It is so well kept and being able to stay on the property the night before makes getting ready in the morning stress free. We had a 'smaller' half Indian wedding (140 people) and the size of the venue was perfect, but we wouldn't suggest more people than that. The path between the vines was perfect for the baraat and the size of the pergola was exactly what we needed for the Indian ceremony. Shout out to our DJ Shane who absolutely killed the whole day!

We had our wedding at Vieni Estate Winery on July 19, 2025, and it was truly exceptional. The venue was beautiful, the food was outstanding, and all the staff and bartenders were professional, friendly, and attentive to our guests. A special thank you to our event coordinator, Mackenzie Cooper, who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Mackenzie’s dedication and support made the planning process stress-free and the wedding day seamless. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team—thank you, Vieni, for making our wedding day unforgettable. Libby and David

My now wife and I just had our wedding at Vieni…. All I can say is wow. Amazing staff, amazing venue, amazing food and drinks, everything exceeded every expectation my wife and I had for our special day. Mackenzie and Megan were absolutely phenomenal in keeping our day organized and on track, the entire Vieni team absolutely killed it. The BnB was also an awesome feature of this venue, we loved being able to stay on site with some of our best friends and family. Thank you guys so much for making our special day perfect!!

We just had our wedding at Vieni in June and can’t recommend it enough! It really is the most stunning wedding venue. After touring multiple venues, the moment we saw Vieni we knew it would be perfect, and it was!! The whole process and experience was so smooth thanks to Mackenzie and her team. Our guests have continued to complement how beautiful the venue is, how delicious the food was and how flawless the day went!! What really topped it off was being able to stay on the property the night before in the b&b which was the most beautiful and fun space for everyone getting ready in the morning and was perfect for pictures. Mackenzie was amazing during the entire planning process. She is so helpful and patient and really cares about making sure your day is perfect. They are so organized and really know how to make sure everything is flawless. Thank you so much for making our day amazing!! 💕

I could not recommend Vieni enough. We had the most amazing wedding experience there. Mackenzie and Megan were the ultimate dynamic duo. They were so accomodating to make anything we could want happen and truly I don’t think I could have gotten through the day without Mackenzie, she was there for it all, while still providing a calm, cool demeanor. All our guests have been commenting about how perfect everything was, how the food was amazing, the cocktail hour was delicious, the venue was outstanding and the ceremony spot was beautiful. The bar staff were incredible, we just named our signature cocktails and they executed them perfectly. It was truly the perfect day and it was all thanks to Vieni. Worth every second and the months of planning!!

The staff are super helpful and friendly and their wines are delicious!! What makes me really appreciate Vieni are their non wine drinks like the happy hour or facionably late that mix wine with spirits and will be coming back for them!

Beautiful, scenic and relaxing! Stunning views of downtown Toronto en route by ferry to this quaint set of interconnected islands. Lovely boardwalk from Ward’s Island to Centre Island. Clean and lifeguard-supervised swimming area on Centre Island. Cute amusement park and gardens. Spend the day or just a few hours.

Toronto Islands are one of the best places to visit in the city. The view of the skyline from across the water is absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. Whether it’s summer or fall, the islands are stunning. There are three islands, each with its own charm. You can take a boat to any of them (check the schedule), or grab a water taxi near Harbourfront for a more relaxing ride. The return trip from the island is free even if you didn’t take the ferry. The are a few beaches which are clean and scenic, perfect for summer days. I highly recommend going on a weekday, ideally in the morning to avoid crowds (it can be VERY crowdy on weekends). On weekdays it is quiet, peaceful, and you might feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The best way to explore is by renting a bike through Bike Share. There are lots of them available. There is also a nice boardwalk on the opposite side of the islands (no bikes permitted though). But the best part is of course the iconic view from Centre Island. There are also a few cafes for a quick snack, plenty of picnic spots, lots of water stations. Overall, Toronto Islands are a must-see!

We ended up catching the ferry to Billy Bishop Airport (~10minutes). From there, we walked to Center Island. It was incredibly crowded for a weekday. Prices were high for pretty much everything. The highlights for us were the little farm, where we got to pet the ponies, donkeys, and goats. We caught the ferry back to the mainland maybe 40 minutes after exploring Center Island.

I always have a great time on this island—beautiful nature and delicious food. The only thing I didn’t like this time was that some people were going into the fountain pool, which isn’t allowed. Security should take steps to prevent this.

Visited Toronto Island Park around 3 PM in October with friends. We spent about two hours walking around and watched a beautiful sunset. It was a bit cold, and there isn’t much to do during the colder months besides walking, grabbing a coffee or snack at the small café, or checking out the restaurant that was open. The views of the city and lake were great, but overall it’s a quiet, simple experience in the off-season. Also, in winter the ferry doesn’t reach the main island, so you have to walk about 30 minutes to get there

had a great time at Toronto Islands. The place is peaceful and has amazing views of the city skyline. I went during the air show, and watching it from the island was a perfect choice. The planes flying over the water and skyline made it a great experience. We also had a small barbecue there, which added to the fun. The open space, fresh air, and calm surroundings made it a relaxing day. The ferry ride to the island was smooth and easy. Overall, it was a lovely day,good weather, exciting air show, tasty food, and a perfect spot to enjoy nature while still being close to the city.

Beautiful islands to enjoy some quality time with friends and family. It’s an easy ferry ride or water taxi from the harbours. During weekend a very busy place, so a wait for ferry is long. However if you wish to save time, get a water taxi which is quick for some extra dollars. Overall the island is very clean with great sights and activities for everyone. It’s huge with different sides of it. Centre island is the main attraction for a new person or tourist. Easy to walk around or rent a cycle for better experience. Lots of places to get a quick drink or snacks. Lot of signage’s available and its self explanatory. Best views of Toronto skyline from the islands.

Family and I went to this amazing St.Lawrence Market and it was so many shops inside for whatever you need. It had amazing Food options and so many Meats options also. What are the unique thing is how different culture kind of meat and cheese and fruits that were in this Market. The food was so fresh anywhere you tried to eat because it was made fresh right away. We try the pizza place and it was very delicious. The only reason why I give it a four star is because it would have been nice to see some Halal Options in Market as it had None and we had to find Cheese pizza to eat. Also bathroom could been cleaner! Overall Very Amazing and Unique Market to visit.

If you would love to visit local market as a tourist, this is the place to go! It has nice market atmosphere and I see long queue at many shops in the market by locals. It also cater both raw and ready to eat food. So you can buy beef steak to cook in your homestay or buy ready to eat food. Variety range from meat to seafood to fruits to bread to tarts to desserts and even maple syrup! Beautiful atmosphere and nice yummy food.... A nice brunch place and market!

Had a terrific time spending the day browsing St Lawrence Market. Bought an amazingly creative bouquet of flowers to brighten our hotel room. Had a delicious charcuterie lunch made from purchasing items from various vendors. Dessert was the largest berries we’ve ever seen, sweet, juicy, and delicious! Bought some pork belly to bring home after our trip. Purchased wines, a few souvenirs for our kids, generally had a nice day browsing through the enormous market. For reference I’d say it is about six times the size of Pike Place Market in Seattle.

Pretty much every visitor to Toronto knows this market. It's in a class of its own among public markets. Think about the scale, the vibe, the amazing selection and quality of products. You can even eat and drink while you shop—how great is that? On a nice day (if it's not too cold), the outdoor patio is the place to be. It's spacious, with pigeons wandering around, and another market is just across the street. Picture this: you're eating a lobster roll or pasta, feeding the pigeons, enjoying the scenery, and chatting with friends. What a fantastic scene!

A nice place to visit, lots of options for fancy goods, food particularly seafoods, meats, cheese, backed delicacies, sweets and farm produce. Liked the bright, happy vibe and roaming carefree environment. It was Christmas buying time, it added colourfulness. Good for buying souvenirs too.

This is probably the best market in town for fresh produce and so much more. For example, you can indulge yourself in all things protein in many shops on the main floor. If you feel more adventurous, you might want to check out the seafood stalls as well. My vegetarian friends will also find their delights. This is one of the oldest and simply best places in Toronto for the freshest food possible. I feel blessed to live nearby and be able to take advantage of this privilege to get the food of my choice at anytime. I especially love the lamb chops and marinated chicken breasts 😊 Highly recommended to all foodies living downtown Toronto.

Wonderful experience of the oldest market in Canada! There was a booth that has been there since before Canadas birth! The main floor is where fresh food is sold. The lower level has all the international flavours… will visit again. Lively atmosphere… need sitting area in winter. Has a mini-museum in lowest level where the jail used to be.

We had a fantastic visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. An absolute must for any hockey enthusiast or even casual sports fans. The exhibits are world-class, rich with history, and beautifully curated. Standing in front of the Stanley Cup and exploring the interactive displays was a highlight. The only disappointment was that the theatre was closed for a private function, which we only discovered after purchasing our tickets. It would have been helpful to know this beforehand. Overall, the experience was outstanding, and we highly recommend the Hockey Hall of Fame for an unforgettable glimpse into the sport’s greatest moments.

I'm not a massive hockey fan, but this museum was a great way to spend about 2-3 hours. Every gallery is filled with history, epic moments and team superstars. Jerseys covered hallway cabinets and screens showing the best plays were everywhere. I'm sure if your a hockey fan, you'd enjoy it even more. They also had a fairly large gift shop, with lots of NHL merchandise. My favourite section was definitely the hall of masks.

I spent all day here, from opening to close…to give a hint at how much I loved it here. Unlike the baseball and football halls of fame, which feel stuff, self-important, and frankly boring, the Hockey Hall of Fame is bright, vibrant, with loads of ways to explore and interact within the museum thanks to QR codes and “quests” to complete. See Rocket Richard’s 500th goal puck? Scan to QR code to watch the goal! Find a cool artifact and want to learn more? You can watch the conservator talk more about it. Beyond the 100+ year history of hockey as a sport and the NHL in general are also games where you can shoot a foam puck on goalies…or become a goalie yourself! And I haven’t yet gotten to the Great Hall, a former bank turned into a stunningly gorgeous “cathedral to hockey”, with the famous Stanley Cup and other trophies. The old bank vault now holds the most historic of treasures, a fun touch! Absolutely anyone can come in here and have fun. NOTE: the HHOF is in the basement of the Brookfield Building. There are signs all over telling you how to get to the entrance (but you will head downstairs). When you buy your ticket, your hand gets stamped for reentry…the basement of Brookfield Building has a food court with well over a dozen stalls, perfect for lunch or a snack.

What can I say? It's the Hockey Hall Of Fame!! Such an incredible experience. Everything from historical game worn jerseys, tons of classic vintage gear (all donated) all NHL, International Tournament memorabilia, Olympics and country's you just wouldn't expect to love hockey (like Holland) but they do and also have beautiful jersey there. The women's hockey is so rich in Canada and the displays showcasing them is such a point of pride. We got to see (and touch) the Stanley Cup and get a ton of cool info on it and so much more from hhe attendant. Goalie mask display was one of my favourites but the Stanley Cup Ring display was easily the most interesting one of all. A full Montreal Canadians locker room sits in the middle of it all and it really encompasses the love of the game when you go in. Great job over there, entry was only $25 (CHEAP) and you won't see it all in one visit! If you're in Toronto as a Canadian you HAVE to go and if you're not from around here you MUST go! And enjoy. I got to see Sidney Crosbys Gold Medal Winning stick and Jersey but whats even better for me is Jarome Iginla (Calgary Flames) assisted that goal in the most beautiful way. What fun. #gocanadago

It’s not getting any better then this. I’ve you like, watched, played or heard about it. Go there and experience this awesome collection of memorable. It’s interactive and so so nice. Shot pucks or watch the Stanley cup and all the other trophies, a wall of goalie masks and a full lockerroom

I’ve been coming here since I was young, and it never disappoints. There’s so much to do and see, with an incredible amount of hockey history on display. The interactive section with shooting and goalie saves is a blast—always a hit with kids, and big kids like me! The gift shop is awesome, full of memorabilia and souvenirs for hockey fans. This is an absolute must-visit for any hockey fan!

Absolutely brilliant. For me, as a lifelong hockey fan, it's a dream come true. The museum is wonderfully presented and brings back so many memories. It not only contains anecdotes about old players and jerseys, but also all the trophies and pays due respect to the legends of the sport. Highly recommend. The only downside: I participated in the shoot-out challenge on-site and would have loved to take my video home with me. Unfortunately, due to an employee error, it's not available. Even after asking there, they couldn't help me. It's a real shame, as it would have been a great souvenir.

We absolutely loved our experience! It was so much fun for everyone, and truly perfect for all ages — especially the kids. There were so many activities that kept them entertained and excited the entire time. Everything was well organized, clean, and safe, which made it easy for us to just relax and enjoy ourselves. The staff were friendly and helpful, and you could tell they really cared about making sure everyone had a great time. We’ll definitely be coming back — such a wonderful place for families to make memories together!

Ripley’s Aquarium is an amazing place for families. My son loved watching the stingrays — you can see them from above (bird’s-eye view) in open water, just a few feet away. The kids’ section has a small filtration system for play purposes, where children can learn how water moves through the aquarium. It’s educational, fun, and a great way for kids to explore and understand how filtration works. The place is clean, well-organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for both kids and adults!

Its a really cool, fairly big aquarium. It was a little cfowdwd, but other than that, it was fun. There were so many decorations and things to see, and unique sea creatures. The kids indoor playground looked fun, and all the tanks were very clean, and the creatures were well maintained. The only problem was the food. I there were more fikd options. The only cafeteria type food place only had a couple crowded tables, and barely had anything on the menu. But that wasnt enough to bring my rating down to a 4 stars, because the aquarium is so great. I love this place.

Awesome for all ages. Plenty of seating arrangements for elders. Touching the sting ray is the best thing as a climax kids can have. My kids had an amazing day. The aquarium has a lot of variety of sea creatures . Moreover the way it has been presented is amazing. Information display is very clear and simple. Its worth the money. Memorable experience.

9:00 a.m. Toronto My CityPASS said I could visit Ripley’s Aquarium anytime, so with an hour to spare before my CN Tower reservation, I decided to head inside. I asked the girl scanning tickets how long it usually took to get through. She told me about an hour and a half. It was Monday morning, and the place was completely empty. It was quiet, the kind of quiet that hums in your chest. Just the low music and the faint whoosh of water cycling through the tanks. The blue light made everything look like it was breathing. I wandered slowly, taking in the small faces of the fish and the strange calm that filled the rooms. There was even a “quiet tent” set up for anyone who needed a break. I understood why. If I had another encounter with that sawfish staring at me like it was judging my entire existence, I’d need it too. For a quick stop, it ended up being one of the most peaceful hours of my trip so far.

It was nice, but honestly, $56 for adults and $38 for children is way too expensive for what you offer. There were no glow fish, no dolphins, and not even a dolphin show. For the amount you charge, at least include some impressive or unique marine life that makes the visit feel worth the money. They seriously needs to improve its exhibits or reconsider its pricing it feels more like a tourist trap than an educational experience.

One of the best Aquariums I have ever gone to. Great tour of the water life in Lake Ontario, this place taught me a lot about the creatures in the water. They have a great jellyfish exhibit which has glow in the dark jellyfish under blacklight which was an amazing experience. If you have never visited this aquarium I highly recommend you check this place out!

Obviously this place has an amazing view. I ordered an old fashioned. It was perfectly made. My food was amazing. I got the multi-course meal that included an appetizer, the main dish, and a dessert. It was definitely on the pricey side. For one person with a good solid tip and of course the alcoholic drink. My total bill was about $160. That said the view is amazing. The service was great. The food was amazing. Absolutely worth every bit of it and it was a great evening to myself with a beautiful sunset. I highly recommend getting reservations and I would also recommend to look and see what time is sunset is and get there about a half hour before

I recently visited the CN Tower with a group of friends on a weekday, and it was an unforgettable experience! We decided to buy our tickets online beforehand, which meant we didn't have to wait in long lines. This definitely helped make the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable from the start. The moment we stepped into the lift, the excitement was already building up. The staff in the elevator were not just professional but also incredibly funny and engaging, which added an unexpected and delightful touch to the ride. The fast ascent gave us a sense of anticipation, and the view as we reached the top was nothing short of breathtaking. From the observation deck, the city sprawled beneath us like a living, breathing landscape. The buildings seemed to stretch endlessly, while the cars and vehicles below appeared as tiny moving dots—it's amazing how perspective shifts when you're so high up! The day view was spectacular, offering a clear, panoramic look at Toronto's impressive skyline, and we could see all the way to Lake Ontario. But what really made the experience even more magical was seeing the city transition as the sun began to set. Watching the sky change from golden hues to the deep blues of night, the lights of the city flickering to life below, was truly mesmerizing. One of the highlights of our visit was the chance to see the vastness of Lake Ontario. The enormous water body stretched out endlessly, and you could almost feel the peace that it brought to the bustling city. It’s hard to put into words how incredible it felt to take in such a stunning sight from such a height. While we soaked in the views, we also treated ourselves to some delicious food at the restaurant, which had its own glass floor. Dining while looking out over the entire city, surrounded by the endless sky and twinkling lights, made the meal even more memorable. Everything down below seemed so small and far away—the buildings, the busy streets, even the people—all of it felt like a different world from up there. It was a perfect blend of nature, cityscape, and human activity, all from the comfort of the CN Tower. The whole experience left us with a sense of awe and wonder, and we all agreed it was a memory we’d cherish. Whether you're a local or a tourist, the CN Tower offers a truly unique way to experience the city of Toronto. It’s a place where the beauty of the skyline meets the serenity of the natural world, making for an unforgettable visit. I can’t wait to go back again—this time maybe to see the city from the glass floor! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible view, great food, and a fun, memorable experience.

We enjoyed the beauty of the tower. We opted for the trip to the top. It's a tad overrated. The clouds at the top made getting good pictures a difficult task. The elevator is super crowded, but very fast. The staff members are kind, respectful and helpful. I think going to the observation deck would have been a better option for us. It is lit beautifully at night from the outside. The glass floor and big beautiful images behind it were fun!

I visited the CN Tower with my family a few years back, and the view from the top is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. You really get to see the city from a whole new perspective. Standing on the glass floor was both exciting and a little nerve-wracking. I definitely felt a bit anxious looking straight down, but it was a fun and memorable experience. It’s one of those iconic spots in Toronto that’s worth visiting once. Whether you go during the day or at night, the view is stunning either way.

The CN Tower is a must-see! A unique place any time of year. The view from the top is indescribable – the entire city looks like a scale model, with Lake Ontario stretching out to the horizon. The biggest attraction? The glass floor, which you step onto with a little trepidation, but then burst into a broad smile 😄 The whole experience was perfectly organized and with very friendly service. It's worth buying tickets online. If you're in Toronto, you simply can't miss it! I recommend it to anyone who wants to see Toronto from a completely different perspective. An unforgettable experience!

My first time experience here was amazing. The walk to the restaurant is a little bit much but once you are in the building it’s actually pretty neat. You go up the sky lift that gives you amazing views of the city and immediately out of the elevator you are guided and seated to you seat. Now I did make reservations that were honored so I’d recommend making arrangements ahead of time, we were there for a birthday and they accommodated my wishes of acknowledging the special with a cute placard and a special desert for his birthday with a cute placard. The food however was 10/10 I had the lamb shank and grits, with a deconstructed Caesar salad. Everything tasted great even my guys food was good he opted for the seafood route with a lobster style meal and Brussels. I can say 10/10 even our waiter was attentive and helped up pick out items and plan our meal accordingly. I missed his name but he was amazing and well wishes to him. I inquired about if there were any semi sweet wines and he recommended me one and even let me sample it ! Of course it was amazing right from Canadian vineyards which was a plus. I’d definitely recommend if you are okay spending a good penny.

We absolutely loved this experience and we're going to come back to do it again. We enjoyed everything about it. We were able to walk up and buy tickets, there was no wait. I was truly surprised by the size of the tower. The views were incredible and there's an art exhibit. I don't want to give it all away but this was worth every penny.

I went to AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) today, and it is a must visit when in Toronto… Beautiful arts installed from famous artists from here and there! I will not ruin the excitement for you, so just goooo! You can thank me later… Ahhh, what an amazing day! I love love love everything at AGO! I wish they acknowledge senior discount though… Anyway, thanks for being there with all the amazing staff I came across with!

I suggested you to buy a membership as supporting and also you can visit it anytime in a year because i don’t think spending 4hrs at AGO is enough for you. They have 4 levers and each level is like a maze with full of art. Trust me. you think you can spend a day there is good enough?. Nope! Ton of art and events in a year you wouldn’t be miss out if you enjoy art and love spending time walking.

We visited the Art Gallery of Ontario and had an amazing experience! The gallery is huge and beautifully curated, with a fantastic collection of Canadian and international art. Walking through the exhibits, we were inspired by the creativity and talent on display. The building itself is stunning, with modern architecture and well-designed spaces that make exploring the art even more enjoyable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there are plenty of opportunities to learn more about the pieces and artists. A must-visit for anyone who loves art and culture!

I absolutely loved the special exhibition of Jesse Mockrin‘s work! Incredible! But even the rest of the museum was very well curated, such a great range. From African contemporary art, Picasso and Monet, European paintings, modern and some small classic sculptures and carvings, some weirder modern pieces (which I liked least), a mirror room, and more. A little pricey for a one time visit ($30), but very cheap as an annual pass ($40). Spent 3.5 hours here but could have taken longer. Also go up the wooden staircase for a great view of the CN tower and the city.

Love the collections at the AGO. I waited in line for the infinity mirror exhibition for over 40 minutes. I didn't find it was worth it for the amount of time they give you to take photos (1 minute per 4 people). The room isnt large enough to be able to appreciate it as much as I would have hoped.

The museum features a modest selection of classical works and early paintings by Claude Monet and Picasso. However, its true allure lies in the architectural experience—most notably the wooden spiral staircase, which evokes the fluidity of water, reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s organic designs. Equally captivating is the expansive collection of Henry Moore’s sculptures, which anchor the museum’s identity. Beyond these highlights, much of the collection can be browsed quickly. Still, the visit is well worth 1–2 hours.

Totally recommended!!! Thousands of art exhibits which represents the whole ages of known human history - painting, sculpture, craft (includes European Christian legacy), etc. Great cafeteria and customer-oriented service. Must have to take both sides of building steps to look over Toronto downtown panoramas + 🚢 basement exhibition!

The Royal Ontario Museum is truly a gem in Toronto. My visit was such a great experience — there’s so much to see and learn, and every section is beautifully curated. From natural history and world cultures to art and interactive exhibits, there’s something for everyone. What stood out to me was how well-organized everything is. The displays are detailed and engaging, and you can spend hours exploring without feeling rushed. The building itself is stunning, and the overall atmosphere makes you want to keep coming back. It’s a perfect place for families, friends, or even a solo day out. Whether you’re interested in history, science, or culture, the ROM offers it all under one roof. I left feeling amazed and inspired — highly recommend visiting if you’re in Toronto!

I visited the Royal Ontario Museum last week on a weekday, and it was such a fun experience! I’ve always heard good things about the ROM, but seeing everything in person was even better. Since it wasn’t too crowded, I got to take my time exploring the galleries and really enjoy each section. The dinosaur exhibits were super impressive — they’re definitely a highlight. I also loved the cultural displays from different parts of the world, especially the Asian and Egyptian sections. There’s just so much to see that a few hours didn’t feel enough. The architecture of the building itself is also worth appreciating — the mix of classic and modern design makes it feel unique. The staff were friendly, and everything was well-organized and clean. Overall, it’s such a great spot for anyone visiting Toronto or even locals who haven’t been in a while. Whether you’re into history, art, or science, there’s something for everyone. I left feeling both entertained and a little smarter — totally worth it! We will visit again with my family.

The Royal Ontario Museum, Canada’s most famous museum, is located in the heart of Toronto. With its vast exhibition halls and impressive collections, this place stands as a true fortress of culture. Opened in 1914, the museum displays more than 18 million works of art from different regions and time periods around the world. These works are showcased in dozens of diverse galleries such as dinosaurs, birds, the Middle East, China, Egypt, toy soldiers, and world treasures. It’s not possible to explore the Royal Ontario Museum in just a few hours. Therefore, if you have the time, I recommend dedicating at least a full day — or ideally two days — to visiting the museum.

Easy to go with the city pass but if you can become a member, there will be many exhibitions that you will also be allowed to go to. You can easily spend 2-3 hrs just walking around. Some cakes, and beverages are also available on the ground floor for a small break. Some sections were really cool. Especially recommend the gems section. Unfortunately, dinosaur’s section was closed until first week of December.

It was an absolutely amazing museum. The exhibits were nicely curated, the artifacts were lovely. The biggest downside was how noisy it was, there was a live performance in the lobby and it took away from the atmosphere that the museum had, I also wish they made it clear as to which area was heavily kid oriented, or else I wouldn’t have spent so much time on the second floor when I could’ve been on the third floor actually seeing the stuff I really wanted to see and learn about. But that being said the areas they have for kids is very well done and the kids there seemed to be having a great time learning. I loved the Greek and Roman section of the museum and paying to see saints, sinners and lovers was very worth it. Absolutely stunning paintings, you could see the brush strokes and the tiny details on the canvases. The ROM was a lot of fun.

We visited the museum on a snowy Sunday afternoon, there was no waiting for the tickets, 35 CAN/adult person. Staff were friendly, ready to explain and direct. The ground floor included marvelous pieces from China and some from Korea. Last floor for the European and Egyptian cultures. We took more than 2 hours, but we could not visit it all. Beautiful experience for a neat museum

There's a lot going on here. If you are really into museums and want to look at most things then plan to spend four or more hours here. There's dedication to natural history for animals and civilizations. Good assortment of unique pieces. There is a lot of pottery, more than you'd think for sure. The collection of Greek and Roman busts is impressive along with the number of tombs. The dinosaur exhibit wasn't able to be fully seen due to renovations.

Located in the heart of Markham, the Flato Markham Theatre is a renowned performance venue that showcases an eclectic mix of productions, including plays, concerts, comedy shows, and special art shows by Canadian and international artists. This meticulously maintained theatre features excellent sightlines, a spacious stage, and exceptional sound and acoustic quality, ensuring that patrons can enjoy an unobstructed view of the performance from any seat. Private boxes are also available for those seeking a more exclusive experience. With a seating capacity of over 500, the theatre is an ideal destination for families and groups. Most performances last approximately two hours, including an intermission, and the theatre offers discounted tickets for students and children. The theater itself is beautifully laid out with super comfortable upholstered seating. Much thinking of frail seniors went into the design of this theater with handrails at the end of each row. The staff themselves are mindful of the mobility issues with some seniors and extremely helpful in assisting with the seating. All in all it was pure enjoyment to sit in this very well run and modern theater. I had the privilege of attending a phenomenal Japanese drumming performance by the esteemed group Yamato. The production values were exceptionally high, and the theater's excellent acoustics enhanced the overall experience. The performers displayed remarkable expertise, captivating me with their skill. The intensity of their performance was such that I found myself completely absorbed, unable to divert my attention. Furthermore, the performers facilitated audience engagement, creating a unique and captivatingly fun experience. Ultimately, it was a truly exceptional five-star performance.

4 of us very much enjoyed the music of Lighthouse here. The entire band was talented and performed very well. The sound was very good which made the whole experience an enjoyable evening!

Enjoyed a date night with a Chicago tribute band here. Nice setup. Roomy and organized with plenty of parking

Sound system is good, seats were really good view. We seen shipyard Newfoundland kitchen party, they were really amazing and the time flew fast. Would see again.

A nice, very clean theatre with lots of free parking. There is not a bad seat in the house from what I can tell. My only issue, and this is also in so many other seated venues, is that you are expected to sit through the show. Yeah, that's fine when seeing a comedian or a play; but difficult when seeing a good rocking live band. I'm sure it isn't as much fun for the band either, rocking out the tunes, and the crowd is just sitting there through the whole set.

Gone for a few private events and sat in different seats. It seems like every seat is a good seat. Always attended concerts and the sound is amazing. Parking is easy and plentiful.

It's a medium sized theatre. The ambiance is very nice. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed it very much. There is lots of great free parking directly across from the theatre.

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.

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!

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.

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.

A beautiful trail for hiking — peaceful, well-marked, and perfect for a relaxing walk around the lake with some nature views.

:::Beautiful Conservation Area::: This place is huge with an amazing views. If you love walking, you would love to walk on the boardwalk here. Must visit 😊

Beautiful place. Well maintained. The signage for trails are clear. The trails are relatively easy with nice scenery.

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

Trail is still there folks.

(Translated by Google) Very good, some fun, very good (Original) 很好，有的玩，很不错

This is a mist visit spot. It portrays the rich history of the Canadian participation in WWII. Going through the destroyer will give you an idea of the endurance of our brave brothers who served on board. It is the only tribal class destroyer that’s left in the world. Try to visit at 12, when they have the firing of the gun. Also, during summer if the temperature gets above 45 degree inside the ship, they will close it. It doesn’t have air conditioning inside so on a hot day expect it to be really hot inside. Dont miss the engine room. It’s absolutely fascinating!

What a great day trip! The HMCS Haida, Canada’s last surviving Tribal-class destroyer, was an incredible ship to explore—and the best part? Admission was free during our visit. We had a beautiful day in Hamilton, and the staff couldn’t have been more friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They made the experience even better with their kindness and enthusiasm. Exploring the ship gave us a chance to compare Canadian and U.S. naval vessels, which made it all the more fascinating. HMCS Haida is full of history and very well preserved. Walking through the tight corridors and seeing the ship’s layout really made the past come alive. Highly recommend this stop—perfect for families, history buffs, or anyone interested in military or naval heritage.

So nostalgic for me, two of my grandparents fought during WWI and WWII and I get chills being here. It’s a well preserved history, there was also reenactment when we were there. Not a lot of parking so be there as it opens. I recommend getting a ticket, it was free when we were there but still need to pick up our entrance ticket by the booth at the entrance

We went for a day trip and this was a last minute decision. The students/staff were abundant and full of knowledge. To our surprise they had a live gun display. This is a fascinating piece of history. As the ship is so old - my recommendation is to place some charcoal bags to absorb some of the weird smells. I left a donation as the entrance was free.

Exploring HMCS Haida in Hamilton 🇨🇦✨ My first visit here and I have to say, it was such a unique experience. Even with a 45-minute wait, stepping aboard this historic warship made it completely worth it. Walking through the decks felt like taking a step back in time and really brought Canada’s naval history to life. A must-see if you’re visiting Hamilton! 🚢🌊

Had an absolutely fun time wandering around this amazing Canadian War relic. So much access to everything and loved reading all the historical info on posters. Highly recommend this tour it’s super cheap and a great way to spend a couple hrs.

This is an amazing piece of history that is definitely worth the visit. You are able to walk through the warship on a self guided tour and take as long as you want. There is information along the ways as you climb up and down ladders and see what life was like for the soldiers that served our country on the ship and how it contributed to making Canada what it is today

A cool step into the past. Our tour guide Roxanne was very knowledgeable and gave a great tour. So many interesting artifacts to see and a fascinating history. Tickets also included entry to another military museum at any time, looking forward to checking that one out in the future.

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.

Another National Historical Site in the City of Hamilton. Very well-kept and well-maintained grounds. Free entry for those with a Hamilton Library Card. Gift shop available. Decent size parking lot available. Hall rentals available. No free WiFi. Benches around for you to sit and enjoy. There is a playground as well as a coffee shop.

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.

This place has a completely different vibe. It was my first shoot here, and I’m definitely coming back for more. A true photographer’s heaven — stunning architecture, diverse backdrops, serene water, and lush greenery all in one spot.

What a beautiful historic castle. Beautifully decorated and set up. Taking the tour was well worth it, our guide was a wealth of information. We very much enjoyed our visit.

Even just seeing Dundurn Castle from the outside was worth the trip! The architecture is stunning, and the grounds offer amazing views that make you stop and stare 😍. It’s easy to imagine how grand life must have been living here back in the day—like stepping into a history book, only with fresh air and geese for company 🦆. Next time I’ll definitely go inside, but for now the exterior alone gets 5 stars!

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. The trail is also very beautiful perfect for a walk or cycling. Kids can enjoy riding bikes or scooties on the trails as well. It also has a nice pond and some benches nearby to sit and enjoy the beautiful views. Entry and parking is free and has ample parking space. Overall it is a great place to spend a day in the outdoor with your friends and family.

Took a path from fisher mill park, free street parking. has some extremely narrow parts but it’s an enjoyable hike. Got here around 4pm and it wasn’t busy. Walked behind the falls too :)

The best view that you would imagine to see the fall is now blocked by rails. The pictures are older for this fall; it's beautiful but restricted to be able to get to the bottom of the fall to witness nature. The attached pictures were taken from the top through rails, but there's no way to get closer to the fall.

It was really nice and I do recommend if you love hiking and nature,though if you’re going with kids then I wouldn’t recommend as much as there are many steep corners and kids tend to run so it’s a danger but the top view is worth all the climbing so I really recommend it for a like family trip.

I had a great experience hiking from Fisher Mills Park to Webster Falls, and I’m really glad I went with a helpful group of adults. The scenery was beautiful, and the group atmosphere made it even more enjoyable. It’s a fun outing for couples or groups looking for something a little adventurous, though I did find one section of the hike more challenging. It’s probably not the best fit for young kids. Overall, I love discovering spots like this—places that combine nature, activity, and a sense of togetherness. I always look forward to exploring new experiences like this one, whether it’s hikes, local attractions, or even restaurants that bring people together.

Spectacular view in winter! Amazing! I will definitely go back to get down to the back of the fall next year if the weather. PS. We could not get in to the parking lot because the charging machine doesn’t work. Thanks God, someone told us to go to Tews Falls first and use that parking permit to get in here and it works.

Really nice views of waterfall. Decent trail. Seems to attract a safe community. Paid parking. Had a nice time here. Definitely recommend!

Used to be nice to go down to the Falls but its closed off. You pay $16.50 for parking and there's no warning that you can't do that anymore. Its sad because it used to be such a fun thing to do.

Serene, clean and well maintained trails. The waterfall is slightly hidden behind the trees but it looks gorgeous.

Beautiful place, I visited in the fall and the view is incredible. You have to make a reservation and buy tickets online before going, otherwise they won't let you in.

We visited Spencer Gorge Wilderness Area for a scenic walk and to see Tews Falls. We were amazed by the stunning natural beauty, clean environment, and excellent facilities. It’s a wonderful place for walks and a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Additionally, purchasing one ticket grants access to all parks and waterfalls in Hamilton.

The views are stunning — but no beauty can hide the disgraceful management of this park. What should be a peaceful day in nature has become a money trap fenced in by greed, over-enforcement, and senseless parking rules. We paid full admission for everyone, plus parking for one car — already absurd. Because our vehicle couldn’t fit six people, we left another at a closed, empty public library on a Sunday, within the one-hour limit. The result? A $250 ticket. Shame on the City of Hamilton. This isn’t about safety or fairness — it’s extortion dressed up as enforcement. If the city is truly trying to FILL THE SHELTER BUDGET HOLE, then by all means — take my tax dollars, not my dignity. Hamilton turned a day in nature into a lesson in greed and disappointment.

Beautiful spot to go in either the spring, summer or fall - would not recommend in the winter (no maintenance). This used to be a place you could go freely, wasn’t overly packed, and parking was cheap. Now - you have to make reservations, I believe they tell you it’s a 2-3 hour time slot and then you’re risking a ticket, it’s pricey for parking, and pretty crowded. However I do recommend this spot for photoshoots during weekday days (less busy), and the scenery makes for great photo ops!

The forecast today called for moderate rain. I wanted to cancel my reservation but it was too late (You have to cancel at least 48hours before). So glad I was unable to cancel though. It had rained earlier in the day but there was no rain when we got there. The weather man is not always right. The Tew falls side trail is a moderately challenging hike. Lots of steep climbs at some points and because it rained, parts of the trail were quite slippery but overall it was a lovely hike which took us about 2 hours out and back. The high points of the trail are the Tew falls and Dundas peak lookout. Not much else beyond that. Things to note: 1. The Tew falls trail does not take you to the bottom of Tew falls. Getting there is via a different trail which is unmarked. 2. You need a reservation which gives you a 2 hour window. For 1 person you pay $26. 3. Portable restrooms are only available at the Harvest road end of the trail where the parking lot is.

great views and well kept trails. The loop took us an hour to walk at a calm pace with stops so its easy for many to do. Also having porta potty's on site is helpful.

A definite must visit such a beautiful tranquil Sanctuary. It's an absolutely beautiful, wonderful place.so much love and care are given to these beautiful animals. You can't help but fall in love with these Donkeys and gratitude to all the staff vets volunteers who show some much love and compassion

The staff and volunteers were all very friendly and knowledgeable. The donkeys all seemed well cared for and friendly. Very docile creatures. They enjoyed the petting and many would stand by the fence where they could be reached. It was a fun day.

Such a great experience! This place is a safe haven for donkeys and mules. The volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and you will learn a lot. Being around that many donkeys leaves you feeling “zen” since they are so calm and gentle. A great way to spend an afternoon :)

I loved how there are so many volunteers here, caring and looking after the donkeys and so knowledgable too, could answer any questions thrown at them and you could see the compassion and loving nature as they spoke about each donkey. My only disappoinment was that i wish there was more interaction with the donkeys, some kind of space where you could sit with them, feed them, brush them, anything really. I came in from Toronto (1.5hr drive, each way) to spend just 30 minutes at the santuary, i felt alittle deflated but happy i got to see them being so loved.

This donkey sanctuary was impressive. We went to the talk about donkeys and learned so much about them. The donkeys and mules were very gentle. This is a great day trip from Toronto for all ages. I highly recommend it. You can even support this worthy organization by sponsoring one of the adorable donkeys or mules. Just one little warning - the website says to wear closed shoes and long pants. I wore the closed shoes but opted for capri pants. Unfortunately the part of my leg that was exposed came into contact with stinging nettle plants growing close to the fence of the donkey paddocks so be sure to keep away from the nettles or wear long pants!

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our visit to the Donkey Sanctuary yesterday. I am so glad we were able to make it for the last open day of the season and will definitely be back for a longer visit next year. We fell in love with Apollo who came over to say hello when we first arrived. The farm is well organized, the grounds are well kept, and it is a beautiful and peaceful place. You can tell that everyone working and volunteering here truly cares for the donkeys. Thank you for your hospitality!

This is a wonderful place to make many trips to. What an incredible experience and the staff and volunteers were fantastic. It was our first time there but for sure we will return.

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.

A beautiful church (Basilica ) constructed in 1800s . Awasom construction I have checked the mass timings on the church site , so that was able to participate in the mass of 11 am on Sunday Inside the church it's very calm and buetiful.. well lighted (naturally) with colour full stained glass Highly recommended to visit at least once if you pass through Guelph

This is one of my favorite historic site in Ontario. inside and out are so stunning, well detailed. Though I not visiting church like other Christian I would say I will be regular here if I am living in this area. So beautiful, if you see the interior of the church you definitely be in 'awe' moment.

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. 🤭

Beautiful basilica! I love coming here during the weekdays, with no one around to calm my mind in thoughtful prayer. I’m in absolute awe with the artistic intricacy and architecture, both interior and exterior. The stain glass windows come to life as the sun shines through it. Beautiful all year round.

Was here for a wedding and I have to say the place is immaculate, the intricate details, the paintings, the stain glass. I mean it was was just amazing to behold. The ceremony was flawless, and the sound when the organ played...wow, highly reccomend a visit

I love this basilica, very great atmosphere with a small garden on the side. Very serene and peaceful.
