My family and I have been coming here for many years, long before it became as well-known as it is today. It’s been heartwarming to watch the farm grow and thrive with the community’s support. Their pastries are absolutely phenomenal… it’s nearly impossible to leave the bakery without something in hand! The service is always warm and welcoming, and in the fall, we especially love coming for apple picking. A wonderful place all around, highly recommend!

Beautiful and amazing! I'm glad they were upfront about it being an apple hunt rather than just normal apple picking because of the weather. It was really slim pickings for apples but we came late in the season. The fresh market was stocked! I definitely bought more than I expected since they have fresh produce, canned goods, jams/preserves, and baked goods. I also got an iced apple cider because it was so warm, wish they had at least one vegan option but the cider was delicious. Love that it's dog friendly too!!

What an amazing place to spend a few hours! Pine Farms was well organized, reasonably priced, and had a plethora of different apples. Staff was extremely friendly and a live musician was on site. After picking apples, make sure to enjoy a treat and a drink from their cafe! it’s both family and dog friendly with lots of room to sit. Would 100% come back!

On Sunday afternoon, I went for a walk here with my family and dog. We had a cup of coffee and some delicious pie and toast. We sat on an outdoor bench and listened to a gentleman playing guitar and singing. At the end of the day, we went into the store and bought an apple pie to share at home for dinner! Thank you for being open until 5 pm on Sundays.

We visited the farm a few years back, it was cozy, scenic, and full of autumn charm! The trees were bursting with color, and the whole farm had that crisp fall vibe that makes you want to grab a hot cider. The farm store was a highlight, stocked with homemade pies, cookies, jams, and of course, their famous apple cider donuts. We also loved the café; the coffee and baked goods were the perfect way to warm up after being outside. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything felt organized and relaxed. It wasn’t overly crowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Visited this Orchard on a Saturday morning in September for Apple Picking. Cost was 10$ a person for entry, then 2$ and change per pound of picked apples. The parking situation was interesting in the orchard but once you get a spot there are stands with bags and staff with information about the apples and orchard layout. The orchard was quite large without about 100 rows of trees, it didn’t feel crowded at all while picking. Afterwards you drive your car out of the orchard with your apples, and pay for them on the way out at a building near the exit. After paying there is another parking lot where you can park and head into the Cafe area. The cafe menu was huge! Lots of food, baked goods, and treats. We got cold apple cider and an apple butter tart. Both were great but the tart was honestly fantastic, I wish I had gotten another!

Such a cute spot! Super fresh fruits and veggies, a cozy little café with drinks and snacks, and a fun souvenir shop with local goodies. The staff were super friendly and helpful—made the whole visit even better. Definitely worth a stop!

This castle is absolutely beautiful and full of interesting history. My favourite parts were the secret tunnel — it was decorated for Halloween and looked amazing — and the basement area where you can see which movies were filmed in each room. The only downside was the spiral staircase to the tower. It gets quite tight and crowded, so it would be great if there were signs or someone to help direct the flow of people. Overall, a really fun and memorable visit!

Casa Loma was fantastic to visit! I could have stayed atop the Norman Tower for hours and enjoyed the views. Inside the castle, the rooms were beautiful arranged with much to read and learn about. Plenty of helpful staff members to point you in the right direction if you get lost as well. The first time I went, I just explored the outside. I decided to return for a proper visit inside as well, and it was absolutely worth it!

It was a lovely experience to visit Casa Loma! The day was beautiful and we visited on a Monday so it made the visit smooth. The views of the city are extraordinary and they history is also fascinating. The first floor is used as a well known restaurant which has converted several of the rooms into modern dining. There are also many places to sit outdoors and enjoy the view. There’s a cafe in the basement and many things to enjoy for a lovely afternoon or date. My only constructive feedback is to care for the second floor and artifacts as much as the first floor. Thank you for a nice visit!

We went here for my best friend’s birthday and the castle is general is majestic and give an old architecture feels in concrete jungle of Toronto. You can also see a whole Toronto skyline from their garden area. I was there for a special event called symphony in gardens, it was spectacular orchestra and it was movie theme night so all the lovely background music of all legendary movies and artists were performed. We also had champagne there which was obviously pricey but given the atmosphere it didn’t feel that bad.

Nice place to take your girlfiend or significant other for a walk and explore around different rooms they have showcasing castle-style history as well as the garden area outside. The price of admission I'd say is quite expensive for the time it takes to get through the place, but it does offer a glimpse into the past with a nice view up top-just be prepared to climb alot of stairs. Also during weekdays the upper deck will be closed at 3pm and 1pm on weekends. There is sufficient parking if you go on a weekday; not sure about weekends. All in all a good place to check out if you've lived in Toronto for awhile now and never been.

I’ve experienced the Blue Blood steakhouse here a few times and always had great experiences. I was here recently for the Legends Of Horror night and would highly recommend!! The actors were amazing there’s something popping out at you at every turn. The decor and production of it all was incredible, a lot of thought and detail. The building itself is stunning. I’d highly recommend spending the day here. 🎃🏰

Really neat place to visit. It's pretty breathtaking just from the front outside, but if you pay the ~$40 adult fee at the door, you can walk all around inside it and in the garden area in the back. Each room has a sign telling you the history behind it. It's all fascinating and beautiful. If you're looking for something to do in Toronto, this place doesn't disappoint!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Outdoor play presented inside the tent on the grounds. Wonderful setting for a great performance by local theatre company, Theatre On The Ridge. Highly recommend! They put on several different plays throughout the summer season -- It's a must do!

This is a pretty nice museum with many of great artifacts and buildings. Not as large as other villages but cute and a nice way to spend your day. The price is great too and not expensive. We all loved it.

We got a personal guided tour and they showed us how to use some of the tools. My kids aged 9 and 11 were curious and interested and asked many questions.

Thank you Kaylie for an interesting tour through the history of Scugog Island. And fantastic information on the Caesar's Cemetery.

Visiting the buildings here felt like travelled through the time machine to the 1800's. Seeing the Blacksmith shop that's still functional. Woodright shop on ancient woodworking crafts. Beef ring in pre-refrigeration era. Lee House, Cabins, the head school and the church. Lots of antiques and history being preserved. Worth the visit.

This is a well laid out museum with lots of great artifacts spread out over several buildings and barns! Price was budget friendly too. Wife and I really enjoyed this look into the past. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to see this, but if you're in the area I suggest not missing it. Caution: I had my hands deep into the interesting items when I was told display items are not to be touched.

I am a huge fan of Dog Days of Scugog. Plenty of events. Great vendors, lots of Rescues

My mom and I attended a Film Tour led by Parkwood this weekend. It was so much fun and so well organized! The tour was for one of our favourite shows, The Way Home, which has scenes filmed at Parkwood Estate. The tour took us to filming spots across Durham region and speakers from each municipality would share information about filming in their city/town. We were provided a coach bus, lots of food, and awesome behind the scenes details. People even drove/flew in from the States to attend. It was certainly a day to remember!

Parkwood Estate in Oshawa is a stunning historic venue — every part of the property feels timeless and elegant. The gardens, stone architecture, and natural light make it one of the most beautiful places in Durham Region for proposals, weddings, and portraits. This photo was captured at what many might think is the “back” of the estate, but it’s actually one of the main entrances — and it created the perfect romantic backdrop for a surprise proposal. The photography permit is very reasonable considering the estate’s history and charm, and it’s more affordable than many other venues of this caliber. Parkwood Estate is truly a hidden gem for anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable setting. 📸 Photos by JennaMorrisonPhotos

Beautiful ground with parking but be there early in the morning as it’s busy on the weekends specially during the weekend. There are guided tours or like me I just walk around by myself. Also check if there’s a scheduled events to help your experience. There’s a Tea House/Restaurant and a Gift shop. Also 2 washroom locations, by the gift-shop and just behind the Mansion. The garden is so beautiful and well maintained.

Really beautiful place! Definitely take the tour — there’s so much to explore inside the house. It’s fascinating to see how the wealthy lived in the 1920s, with features that many of our modern homes still don’t have. What stood out most is how, when you have money, everything can be custom-made exactly the way you want it. A must-visit for history, design, and architecture lovers.

Weekend Getaway | An Afternoon Steeped in Centuries of History** Today, I took the little ones to explore a hidden gem in Oshawa—Parkwood Estate! 🌳✨ This 19th-century historic manor feels gently preserved in time, with ivy-clad brick walls, glimmering fountain waters, and meticulously trimmed hedge mazes that frame the estate in quiet elegance. Running down the corridor featured in *X-Men* felt like stepping right into the movie scene 🎬. Watching clouds drift past the spire of the clocktower, I almost thought I could hear whispers from days long gone. The kids cheered, “Amazing trip today!” 🥳 If you’re around the Toronto area looking for a kid-friendly spot rich in history and photo opportunities, Parkwood Estate deserves a spot on your list ❤️～ P.S. It’s dog-friendly too!

The garden & surrounding areas were nice, well maintained; the washrooms clean ! The tea restaurant was just regular, had other expectations like tea in Victorian times ; the website it said you can enter the house, then when we got there found out there is a fee around $20 per person and is only scheduled for certain times; parking was free

This place is truly a hidden gem. We had a lovely afternoon tea & our server Amit was super attentive and charming. Grounds beautiful and so well taken care of. Staff was super friendly, made us feel welcome and thanked us for coming from Hamilton & Niagara. Was truly our pleasure! 🤩 Wonderful experience all around.

Great collection of vintage and classic cars! The Canadian Automotive Museum may not be huge, but they’ve done a fantastic job managing the space they have. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into preserving and presenting these vehicles for future generations—and we should be thankful for that. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was pleasantly quiet, which gave us time to really enjoy each display. Free parking was a nice bonus too. Admission was very reasonable—just $16 for an adult—and you can easily buy tickets right at the door. There’s also a washroom inside, which is always good to know when visiting with family. If you’re even a little interested in automotive history or just looking for a unique local outing, this place is definitely worth a visit!

A Retro Style Nostalgic Experience , in the heart of Oshawa City, I loved the Collection , The cars in the display were definitely taking us to time travel and check the Old Gems more than 100 years old. The Place is a great feast for car Enthusiasts including Kids and Oldies , We know that Canada has a wonderful history Automotive Industry , This place definitely do justice to it , I want all visitors to spread the words about this place so that It can be well maintained and attract more attention ....I will visit This time to time , I have to see my love Lighting McQueen !!

This is a very distinctive car museum, especially suitable for children who like cars. We saw a one-to-one McQueen here. The parking lot next to the museum is also very convenient, and it is worth recommending everyone to come and play!

As a car enthusiast and from the land down under (Australia) I travelled far and wide to visit this place. There are some beautifully preserved and presented vehicles to admire and read about. While the cars are tightly packed in some places , this museum could do with some extra space. However I enjoyed looking and admiring at the Canadian Automotive Museum’s history and knowledge. Allow an hour or two to take in all that it has to offer.

2025 May 4.5★ A great museum with many historic and iconic cars. With 2 stories and about 50+ cars, this place is worth checking out. Certainly wasn't expecting there to be that many cars upstairs. See the first hybrid gas electric vehicle, back to the future car and others. Adults $16 Street parking. Expect to spend about 2 hours inside. Non profit and great for the community.

Nice muséum with a good diversity of Canadian vehicles. From firsts Canadian carts to Bugatti type 35, going by Flash McQueen, y9u will be able to see and learn about a large variety of historic cars. I also really enjoyed the brochures available at the end of the visit. Thanks

I loved this museum. It's worth a visit. The gearhead and those interested in 20th century Canadian history will appreciate it. The museum is located in beautiful downtown Oshawa, in an historic commercial building. There's free parking on site, as well as metered street parking in front. Entrance fees are very reasonable. The first floor has many first rate, rare and expensive collectible cars, including Lester Pearson's custom Buick staff car, and the exquisite 1914 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, driven by Prince Edward ( not the current one, the King Edward VIII one) during his 1919 debauched jaunts around Montreal. Additionally there's rare treasures like a 1930s Bugatti race car, a Packard Twin-Six, and an aluminum classic blower-Bentley. The upper level has a mix of more ordinary cars plus some rare gems like a early Chevrolet converted to snow use, a friction drive CarterCar, a Brooks Steam car, and Canada's earliest existing electric car. Or, more precisely, the remains of it. One of the features of this museum is many cars are unrestored. They're displayed with the accumulated wear, use, dents and patina accumulated in their actual useful existence, decades or even a century ago This adds authenticity and realism to the displays. Of particular interest is their life-size diorama of a barn -find Buick. This museum is worth a visit, even if you've been there in the past. I last visited in the 1990s, but I found many cars on display weren't present back then. A visit takes about 1 to 2 hours to take everything in. There's some opportunities for better displays. They have both a DeLorean AND a Bricklin, two completely unrelated but very similar cars, in their history, engineering, development and marketing. They're missing a huge opportunity by not displaying them side-by -side with a comparative analysis of their circumstances. Such a display would be a real standout, especially given that the DeLorean is popular, but few people remember Canada's own Bricklin. Otherwise the museum is well done.

I had a fantastic experience at the Our Lady Peace concert! The venue itself was well-organized, with a smooth and efficient operation of both security and staff, which contributed to a positive overall experience. While the sound quality was decent for a hockey arena, the atmosphere was truly elevated by the energy of the crowd. It was vibrant and full of life. However, I did feel a bit let down at times when Raine Maida seemed to avoid hitting some of the higher notes. Despite this, his unique voice and impressive songwriting continue to be a significant part of the band's success, and it was evident throughout the performance.

It’s my first time for monster truck, and it’s a wonderful experience. The only problem is this arena is an indoor environment, so the noise would be way louder than I expected. If you come here for monster truck, you’ve better get your earplugs.

Excellent facility! 2 Ice Pads, best mens recreational hockey league in Durham Region. Not a lot of nonsense on the ice with most needing to work the next day. Also home to the Oshawa Generals OHL hockey club. Great concert events. Whether its recreational hockey, competitive hockey, or a great concert venue this place has something for everyone.

Great place. Brought my kids to an Oshawa Generals game and they loved it! Would definitely recommend. One of the staff members Tyler was very nice and helped us find our seat. Cashiers were friendly with my kids which made them so happy!

The staff from security to ushers and food counters were so friendly and welcoming. The seats were amazing. This is a incredible concert venue would go back any time.

We saw Lynyrd Skynrd here Sept 25. The sound was terrible. 4th time seeing them, always good. Not this time. Quite a low ceiling for a hockey rink. Very little parking available, but no fee after 6pm on the streets.

Amazing place for a night of family fun at the Gens game! Cash and cards are accepted as payment which was great. Not all vendors accepted cards, so it is good to take some cash. There is a bank machine if needed. Clean venue and friendly staff. Someone always willing to help if you needed to find your seats.

An unforgettable experience at Jungle Cat World! This place is absolutely amazing and brought so much joy to my son Samy, memories that will last a lifetime. Samy has a rare genetic disorder, and the generosity, kindness, and warmth shown by everyone here truly touched our hearts. A huge thank you to Candice, who made our Behind the Scenes experience so special ; her passion and care for the animals (and for people) shines through in everything she does. And to Kory, whose big heart and kindness in the office made us feel so welcome from the very start. The whole team is genuine, caring, and full of love for what they do. The Behind the Scenes experience was simply magical we got to feed lions, pet a wolf, hug a fox, and feed lemurs! My kids got plush animals from the souvenir shop that they’ve been hugging nonstop they’re already inseparable with them ❤️ We can’t recommend Jungle Cat World enough. It’s more than a zoo, it’s a place full of heart. We’re already looking forward to coming back and staying at the on-site lodge, especially since guests can visit the park after hours and see how the animals are at night. A must-try for families and animal lovers! 🐾

We had such an amazing time, the behind the scenes experience was a dream come true! If you're looking for a fancy zoo, this is not the place for you. BUT if you are looking for a place where you can tell the people love their jobs and the animals they work with this is the place. You get up close with the animals without spending a fortune. You don't have to hope you will see the animals because they are right there, they even have animals just walking around like Mikey the donkey and beautiful peacocks. This place is definitely a hidden treasure. I recommend this place to anyone that wants a different kind of animal experience.

Had a blast with the kids! We got to watch the lions and wolves be fed, interact with the free roaming alpacas and donkey, and the bunnies were asking for pets. The peahen and chicks were shy but still came around. The playground was a lot of fun for the kids. The food there was good and well priced. I would highly suggest a visit.

*** Access2 Card accepted here *** Support person accompanying the person with disability, who pays, gets in for free. Nice way to spend half a day at a small zoo. Friendly, helpful staff and the zookeepers feeding the animals were informative and entertaining. They mentioned they act as a sanctuary to accept any animals which other zoos did not plan to have and cannot accommodate. Can bring in your own food and drinks hut don’t feed them to the animals. Lots of shaded benches to sit and eat. There are tiki umbrellas providing shade for the tables outside the restaurant. Also there are many tables and chairs in the area next to the restaurant in the covered area. Enclosed areas are small for the large lions, tigers, pumas, etc. but animals looked healthy. Peacocks, ducks, geese, alpacas roam free around the zoo. Can buy food to feed the birds and alpacas. Fun playground for kids with climbing structures, mountain with tunnels, slide and squeaky, vintage metal teeter totters.

Jungle Cat World Wildlife Park is a fantastic destination for animal lovers and families alike. This wildlife park provides a unique opportunity to observe and learn about a diverse range of species, including majestic big cats, playful lemurs, and fascinating reptiles. The park is well-maintained, with spacious enclosures that prioritize the animals' well-being. Staff members are knowledgeable and passionate, offering engaging talks and educational experiences that enhance your visit. The immersive environment allows for close encounters with some of the animals during scheduled feeding sessions. Overall, Jungle Cat World is a captivating place that combines education and conservation, making it a must-visit for anyone in the area.

This past weekend we visited Jungle Cat World for a behind the scenes experience. My father and son participated while my daughter and I followed along and explored the rest of the zoo. The staff were INCREDIBLE in making sure we felt welcomed and educated on the experience we had paid for. The tour guides were exceptional!! They helped to take a ton of photos so my dad and son have memories to share and show the rest of our family. It was so much fun, and a highly recommended gift to give someone!! We picked any 3 of the massive list of animals they had, and the staff were more than accommodating if we wanted to change our minds the day-of. We will definitely be back, especially for another behind the scenes.

Prowl in the Park at Jungle Cat World was an absolutely incredible experience! We, from Shack In The Back Designs, had an amazing time and were thoroughly impressed by the organization and the staff. The dedication to wildlife education and the care of the animals is truly evident in every interaction. It felt like a memorable, up-close encounter that successfully balanced conservation efforts with a wonderful visitor experience. We highly recommend Jungle Cat World to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful night out. We are already looking forward to joining future events to support their important mission! Thank you for a truly wonderful evening. Jacob Shack In The Back Designs

Just popped in during a Tuesday morning to do the self guided tour but was met by the daughter in law of the family and got a full guided tour. She was great with our kids (asking and answering all sorts of questions). She gave the impression that she loves what she does and all the time in the world to show us around. Highly recommended. The products that they do sell are their own (honey, maple syrup, and products made of those) were reasonably priced and of high quality. They offered samples of everything with no pressure to buy.

We have been buying Dare2Dream products for many years now and are extremely happy. In fact, I have never written a review but wanted to share with everyone not only how fantastic the products are but how great the customer service is too. I would give 6 stars if I could. It is great to know I am feeding my family wholesome, healthy real food that is locally sourced. The kids also love the experience of going to the farm and learning about bees, maple syrup and more. Steve is so informative and passionate about what he does. In addition, the Lawrence family continues to come up with innovative products and the introduction of online ordering has been helpful for busy families. I ordered honey and it was dropped off at my doorstep the same day! We will continue to buy honey, maple syrup, honey vinegar, maple fluff and more from Dare2Dream farms.

Gorgeous family farm with lots for the kids to do! Beautiful event barn, we hosted a bridal shower there and we have reccomended several times after the wonderful experience. The best honey and maple syrup products in the world!

What a great place! We were amazed at amount of products they have and we got to taste them all while learning about how each were made. Our favourite product we picked up was the honey vinegar. Honey vinegar has all the same benefits as apple cider vinegar except without the awful taste. Honey vinegar is the perfect heart burn reliever just one shot does the trick, it has become a staple in our home! Overall a great experience.

Learned about bee's and they have a very cool bee hive display. Very fun.

You really must travel here.. I highly recommend this farm to everyone. Even if it's a hike.. It's 100% worth it. The honey vinager is kid approved (so long apple cider vinager, honey vinager is Way smooth!) the honey is fantastic, there are tonnes of different kinds of products available here.. Too many to name.. You must come and indulge in the natural goodness they serve up here. Oh yah.. There's free samples.. Now go get your own!

Their maple floss is to die for. We had a honey demonstration and a maple syrup demonstration on different occasions. The owner likes to share his knowledge of the products they produce.

A quaint theater in the very pretty town of Port Hope. The staff are extremely patient, helpful & friendly! Inside the theater is decorated beautifully, washrooms are easily accessible & the seats are very comfy! Only negative point would be that there was no intermission for the hour & a half show which can prove to be challenging for little ones & seniors. Check their website for upcoming shows!

What a hidden gem! I've seen a few plays here now, and they are top-notch quality. The set designs are incredible. This theatre is quite nice and there are no bad seats. The actors have a long list of credits, and we're amazing. Overall, I'd say Toronto Mirvish theatre quality for half the price. Worth the drive!

I watched the final performance of Waitress here, and it was amazing. From the set, to the cast, to the singing/sound technicians. It was amazing! I have spent a lot more money Downtown Toronto ($100+) and had a lot less fun. Lol I can't wait to come back! Community Theatres are kinda a hidden gem. I have a feeling you won't regret trying them out.

Capitol Atmospheric Theatre is so beautiful. The sky around the ceiling moves. One of three in North America. Very unique.

Beautiful building! We didn’t get a chance to see a show but a whole crowd came out as we were walking by

Love the live shows. Comfortable seating. Bathrooms are clean and lots to choose from. Great location- tons of great restaurants around for dinner before of after the show- but make a reservation.

What a wonderful experience. We were celebrating some special birthdays within my family, came to see a phenomenal show. The staff and volunteers are friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. The Actor's in the performance were above and beyond, talented. Wonderful! Place to visit and see a phenomenal production.

A treasure trove of indigenous art from jewellery, paintings, decor, etc. using various mediums. Artist on site executing their craft add to the authenticity of the pieces. Get your cheque book out to buy art that is unique. P.S.: cheap gas is available on the way to the centre at 2-3 large locations.

Such a cool place to visit! We went today and it was way bigger than expected, the artworks were so beautiful and they had the coolest shop filled with so many different things to buy! We're definitely coming back to visit.

This store is simply incredible, whether in person or shopping on line it is a must for shoppers looking to buy anything indigenous in a good way and with reciprocity. As an ally it is really important to me to know I am purchasing and supporting indigenous artisans. Whetungs carries a wide array of artists, and products. From bead work jewelry, quill work, wood work, clothing, shoes, ribbon skirts and shirts in all sizes, ceremonial items, sacred medicines, and so much more. It’s an amazing place run by local curve lake First Nation people.

A beautiful cultural spot that showcases authentic Indigenous art, crafts, and history. The collection is impressive, from handcrafted jewelry and carvings to paintings and traditional items. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, making the visit both meaningful and educational. A must-stop if you're exploring the Curve Lake area.

Have a good chat with the owner Michael, and get some knowledge of the history of the store. Very nice place, lots of well made hand crafted arts, souvenirs. Come to support the local community.

I very much enjoyed my visit here. They have so many amazing products and items that it’s difficult to not buy anything. I walked out with a few quality items. It’s a little bit out of the way but it’s worth the visit. 👍😎

September 14, 2024 recently visited Whetung Ojibwa Centre after a scenic 1.5-hour drive from Pickering. We spent over two hours exploring the center, which features a stunning collection of Indigenous crafts, including dreamcatchers, jewelry, moccasins, paintings, and much more. The center also offers a museum, totem poles, and sculptures that provide insight into the Curve Lake First Nation and other Indigenous groups across Canada. One of the highlights for me was the beautiful selection of crystals, accompanied by a detailed guidebook. I ended up purchasing a bear claw, three Every Child Matters t-shirts designed by Freddy Taylor, a Residential School Survivor and Curve Lake First Nation member, along with some candy sticks for my kids. My friend gifted me a gorgeous porcelain mug featuring a design by artist Leah Marie Dorion, symbolizing the "Breath of Life"—a reminder that our breath is sacred and our words carry the power to impact the world positively. If you're looking for a peaceful and enriching day trip filled with beauty, positivity, and a deeper appreciation for life, I highly recommend visiting Whetung Ojibwa Centre. Be sure to check their website for special events—I’m already looking forward to visiting again!

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Beautiful art selection and a complete experience by combining it with nature. Calmness and relaxation from the moment we got in, they even offered umbrellas so we could appreciate the art under the rain. The owner is a lovely person. My son speaks about her still today. There were two ponds and she took the time to show them to my son, play with him, and answer all the imaginative questions a four years old could have. Amazing experience!

It's a great place. Not far from ptbo. It's very peaceful and all the art pieces are very good. Takes about an hour but it's worth it. Beautiful stones are carved in Zimbabwe from lava rocks. They are special on their own. I recommend you visit this place once.

Absolutely stunning outdoor Art Gallery with a kind and accommodating host. Beautiful art in a picturesque setting. I can wait to visit again. Thank you for your hospitality!!! My friends and I had a wonderful birthday celebration.

Absolutely stunning outdoor art gallery. Each piece was meticulously crafted and detailed. Definitely worth the drive. Admission is free but donations are accepted and proceeds go to a good cause. All pieces are also available for purchase.

This gallery featuring sculptures and other art created by artists from Zimbabwe is a little off the beaten track, but well worth a visit. Every year, the owner brings in an artist in residence from Zimbabwe. Apparently, he just left yesterday as it’s getting too cold! The 7 day access to the outdoor exhibits closes tomorrow for the winter season. However, the owner is still available by appointment.

We one over 20 sculptures and metal pieces from Zimart and we absolutely love them. Fran is a truly wonderful host, and her beautiful outdoor gallery is something that must be experienced. Can't say enough great things about Zimart. A must see if you are in the region. Can't wait to get our next piece. Here are just a few of the works we have collected over the years.

Awesome! I cannot say enough about this very unique outdoor sculpture garden, set in a quiet, green and magical rural location. The art pieces are stunning, sculpted from very unique Zimbabwean rock. The gentle Zimbabwean artist-in-residence took us on a wonderful tour and explained how he sculpted and "revealed" his pieces.

An awesome museum worth every minute! It's amazing to see such a great collection of canoes through history - ones from famous stories, famous people, and monumental events. Learng about canoe culture is particularly interesting seeing as I'm a travelling Australian. Go check it out.

We loved the tour! It's easy to spend about 2 hours in their stunning new home. With about 100 canoes on display and another 1000 or so in storage, there is alot to see. The history, the craftsmanship, the variety, the stories of the original owners and their adventures add up to a uniquely Canadian experience, well worth a visit!

Beautiful new museum and exhibit overlooking Little Lake in Peterborough! Very comfortable and chill atmosphere. Took the afternoon tour with the kids and felt like they were able to get a lot more out of the exhibit. Very kid friendly with video, listening stations, scavenger hunt, and drawing pages.

Darn! What a nice museum here in Peterborough Ontario. I found out afterwards that this town was the birthplace so to speak of the canoe. So it’s no wonder the Canoe Museum is here in Peterborough. It’s such a nice museum and lots of facts and figures to explore throughout. The only gripe I have is that I thought the price was maybe a little much for what they have but honestly it is worth it if you want to learn the history of the canoe. 👍😎

I really wanted to love this place. With a really curious mind who can be interested in almost anything and a love of canoes (been canoeing since I was 8 years old and own my own cedar-strip canoe built for me), I still found the exhibits pretty dry and the labeling not engaging. The best part of my visit was seeing the canoe vault.

Fascinating museum showcasing both the mastery and beauty of the canoe, but the history of the indigenous peoples and their journeys. Also an astounding piece of architecture, using natural materials to perfection.

What a wonderful experience! Anyone who has paddled or who has an interest in Canadian history with find something valuable here. We really enjoyed it. Plus the butter tarts in the café are amazing !

Fascinating piece of Canadian engineering and history. Watching the boats pass through the lock system is both relaxing and impressive. The area is well-maintained, perfect for a peaceful stop, picnic, or short walk. A great spot to learn about how the waterways connect Ontario's lakes and rivers.

I recently visited the Peterborough Lift Lock, and it was a fascinating experience. The surrounding park is perfect for a picnic, and the nearby visitor center offers informative exhibits and a short film about the Trent-Severn Waterway. Climbing the stairs to the top provides a panoramic view of the area, making it a must-see spot for anyone in the region

A beautiful structure and fun place to be at the annual paddle and lock event in July! Would come again but maybe in a canoe or a comfortable kayak (not a playboat kr white water kayak) as you may be sitting in this for 3-4 hours (specifically for the paddle lock event) depending on crowd sizes and line ups to get up and down the lock!

This year it was on my birthdate n i loved every minutes of my day with a girlfriend then boat cruise with lunch included deluxe motor coach from kingston to peterborough even canadian canoe museam

What an absolutely amazing experience. I've seen photos but when you see this structure in person you realize the photos just don't do it justice.

Travel the beautiful Trent-Severn Waterway. Or the Rideau System on the Kawartha Voyager. It's great multi-day river and lake cruising. Search Ontario Waterway Cruises!!!

Really cool place to see but the visitor center was closed when we arrived. The scale of the lift is not obvious until you are up close. You can walk to the lock and go up the stairs to see it from the top. All in all, with the history of has, worth the visit.

The park is amazing for a day out with family. The kids play area has different sections for different age groups. The splash pad is also very nice for the kids to enjoy. The zoo area is great with a lot of animals to see. I had never seen a sloth before. The parking and zoo are free here. They do accept donations though. All in all a great place to see a lot of things and relax in the park.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Peterborough Zoo. It’s such a nice place to spend a few hours, and the best part is that it’s free to enter. The zoo is not huge, but it has a really good variety of animals, and everything is well looked after. The enclosures are clean, and you can tell the staff care about the animals. My favorite part was watching the monkeys and the big cats – they were so fun to see up close. The walking paths are easy to follow, and there’s plenty of space to just relax and enjoy nature. It’s also a great place for kids, with the playground and picnic areas making it feel more like a family park than just a zoo. Parking was easy, and the whole place felt safe and welcoming. Overall, it’s a hidden gem in Peterborough and definitely worth visiting.

Riverview Park and Zoo is such a great spot, and the best part is that it’s completely free! The zoo itself is pretty good with a nice variety of animals, but what really stood out for us were the kids’ play areas. They’re awesome — lots of space to run around and different structures to explore. My 3-year-old especially loved the long slide, which quickly became the highlight of our visit. It’s a perfect family outing spot with a good mix of animals, green space, and fun for the kids. Definitely worth checking out!

This is a great spot to take the younger kids. Our 4yr old grandson enjoyed the animals and then a little play time in the park. They do have a splash zone area as well. There is no fee to enter and enjoy all it had to offer. A couple public washroom areas however the line up were a turn off. One suggestion if I could offer is to have the screening windows cleaned maybe more often throughout the day. We really had no contact with staff . You are basically on your own . I do recommend it for the kids as it gives plenty of options to entertain them!

Nice park and zoo in Peterborough. Perfect place to bring your kids and family. There are kids play area, water splash pad, zoo and ample parking. Lots of picnic tables as well if you plan to have lunch or dinner after some exciting moment with your kids. This park also has a free zoo with lot of animals to see. Kids will love it for sure. Donation to the park is appreciated as they have to maintain everything for free. The park and every place was maintained very well. Everything was clean. The splash pad water was not too cold which was good and convenient for the kids. There is a parking and access area towards the river but the parking was closed when we visited. Overall very pleased and definitely recommended.

Wow, this place is small but so many animals to see. Plus, there is a train ride. That ride was closed today but we will make sure to go again, the following year. And the animals are so cute. There's otters, camals, sloths, llamas, ducks, snakes, just to name a few. There's a splash pad, play area for the kids, not too much walking. Plenty of pinic areas. The size is really good. Will go again.

Such a wonderful place for families! The splash pad, playground, and zoo are all free to enjoy thanks to the generosity of donors and the community. It’s rare to find a place like this where you can see animals, let the kids play, and enjoy a relaxing picnic—all without an entrance fee. The park is clean, well-maintained, and full of shade for a summer day. We’re so grateful for the donations and support that keep this place running. It’s a true gem in Peterborough. Highly recommend visiting and, if you’re able, consider making a donation to help keep it free for everyone.

We had such a wonderful day at Cobourg Beach! The weather was absolutely perfect — sunny, warm, and with just the right breeze coming off the lake. The beach itself was clean, well maintained, and very family-friendly, which made it an ideal spot for a relaxing day outdoors. The sand was soft and golden, perfect for walking barefoot or building sandcastles. The water was clear and refreshing, and it stayed shallow enough near the shore for the kids to play safely for hours. They had an amazing time running around, splashing in the waves, and making new friends. There were plenty of spots to sit, relax, and enjoy the view, whether you wanted to spread out a blanket, set up chairs, or just stroll along the shoreline. The atmosphere felt peaceful yet lively — families, couples, and groups all enjoying the sunshine without it ever feeling too crowded. We also appreciated how clean and well-kept everything was, from the beach itself to the nearby restrooms and picnic areas. Parking was easy to find, and local cafes and ice cream shops nearby added to the experience — perfect for a quick bite after swimming. Overall, Cobourg Beach is a beautiful, welcoming place for families and anyone who loves the lake. We’ll definitely be coming back soon — it’s one of those places that leaves you smiling long after you’ve left.

Cobourg Beach is a beautiful and well-maintained spot that’s perfect for a relaxing day trip. The beach is incredibly clean, with soft sand and clear water, making it a great destination for families. One of the highlights is how shallow the water is near the shore—perfect for kids to play safely without worrying about sudden depths. The area is very family-friendly, and the nearby washroom facilities are clean and conveniently located, which adds to the comfort of spending a full day at the beach. Whether you’re looking to relax, have a picnic, or splash around with the kids, Cobourg Beach is a fantastic choice!

Nice beach downtown Cobourg. The sand is soft and brown. Beach is very clean. Parking is just beside. It's 5$ / hour. Water is a bit cold, very nice place for young kids. We were there for the weekend. The marina is just on the other side. Also there is a camping site just behind the beach. You can easily go grab something to eat from a restaurant nearby, in a easily walkable lap of time.

Visited here recently for the first time and my kids had a blast. They loved the clear shallow water and clean sand. There is also a park and splash pad to enjoy and wash the sand off. However the water does seem to shut off early in the evening. There's a convenient path for wheelchairs or stroller. My kids say this is their new favourite beach!

For those looking to escape downtown and explore other cities near Toronto and beyond, Cobourg Beach is a great option. The city is about an hour and 20 minutes from Toronto, and has a good road network. There are many paid parking options, but they're all very busy. There are also paid street parking spaces, which are also very busy, so you might have to drive around for a few minutes to find a spot if you're looking for something closer to the beach. Parking usually costs $40 Canadian dollars for 8 hours. Dogs are not allowed on the beach, and there are signs warning you of this, so be aware. Barbecuing is not allowed on the beach; there are camping and parking areas for that; read the instructions on the city website. There are some public restrooms scattered throughout the city, but depending on the time of day, they can unfortunately get quite dirty. The beach restroom has changing tables. The city has many restaurants and tourist attractions, such as the city hall. For those who prefer to stay farther from the main beach entrance, pay attention to the signs indicating a reserved beach or residential area, as homeowners are always there to point this out (I don't know how the law works, but it's good to know). For visitors with disabilities, the parking lots near the beach have designated spaces for those with disabilities. The beach path has a rubberized surface for wheelchairs, canes, and walkers. It's worth a visit, as well as the small waves and crystal-clear water.

This beach has only gotten better over the years! It’s surprisingly clean despite the numerous visitors… we did not notice any litter. Even the porta potties are clean. And even with so many people enjoying the beach, it never felt crowded or chaotic. Police and ambulance are on sight. The sand on the beach is so soft, and there is no seaweed along the shore. There are plenty of food trucks on site now, and they even have bouncy castles! The splash pad was a hit for our little guy, and the two little playgrounds also provide added amusement for kids. Definitely worth the drive from Toronto—we will happily visit here again!

A beautiful and peaceful beach in Ontario, perfect for a relaxing day. The water is clean, the sandy shore is soft, and it’s great for swimming on warm sunny days. Right next to the beach is Victoria Park — a large green space with plenty of picnic areas, a splash pad, and children’s playgrounds. There’s also a wide, scenic boardwalk by the harbour that’s perfect for walking or just enjoying the view. Highly recommended for families, couples, or solo visitors during the summer!

From pick up at the train station, to the care with the induction of the property, to the food, the amenities, the rooms, just everything was relaxing and healing. All staff were well trained and friendly. The food impeccable (and everyone checked about allergies/sensitivities). I have sensitive skin and their products didn't cause any issues (and smell heavenly/are excellent prices). I had a variety of treatments: lymphatic drainage, facial, massage and body scrub... All were excellent. I do want to say thanks to Lorraine who welcomed me and even said hello the next day, remembering my name. She is a gem. (Along with a slew of other exceptional staff but there were a lot of names and I lost track 😔) Note: the website clearly notifies of ongoing construction on the property. I was there for a few days and aside from two separate big bangs and part of the property being blocked off, it wasn't an issue. I overheard a few people disappointed by it but it was clearly listed everytime you log into the webpage & posted around. I am excited for their growth for my next visit!

I am truly disappointed to be writing this review as I had such high hopes for this experience. My friend and I went on Sunday as a part of an early birthday treat to myself. We booked day passes and arrived at 9AM ready for a luxurious, relaxing and fun day together, what we were met with was a noisy, over crowded and wildly underwhelming experience. The staff were all very nice and welcoming and truly were trying their best to help us but there just wasn't much they could do with how oversold the day was. The locker room was extremely crowded and it took us a few minutes just to find an unoccupied locker, let alone have enough space to change. The pools were busy, and while signs are posted saying the area is to be quiet, there was no enforcement of it so the tranquility wasn't really present. The grounds themselves are also undergoing significant construction which greatly detracts from the visual appeal while you wander around. The spa treatments we received were sped through, the products used didn't feel very nice on my skin and overall the facial didn't feel anywhere near $150 in value. The lunch we had tasted nice but again the entire service was very rushed with courses arriving on top of each other. The dining room staff were also very nice but it was obvious they were stressed trying to get through everyone as each sitting showed up right behind the other. I really wanted this to be an experience commiserate of the $1K I paid, but it fell significantly short. Nothing about this felt exclusive, thoughtful, tailored or luxurious. Overall we felt like we were on a conveyor belt being swept along from section to section so much so that we left early.

I try to come to Ste. Anne’s at least once a year (preferably more!) It has always been a constant perfect escape from the chaos of life and provides a much needed reset. From the warm welcoming (often by Sheldon who just automatically makes you feel like you have celebrity status) to the treatments and the food. Oh the food! The only problem the food is narrowing down the selection because everything is always above par. The staff constantly go above and beyond while not being overly intrusive. Even the trails are the perfect addition and not to be skipped. The grounds are immaculate and even with construction and improvements, they make every effort to make sure you get the most from your stay. Definitely can’t wait to come back.

Loved my visit at st Anne’s spa. The massage I got was incredible and I opted in to do a sound bath as well which was so relaxing I didn’t want it to end. I enjoyed the pools and relaxing in the heated domes with amazing views and had an amazing gluten free breakfast of omlette and gf pancakes with blueberry compote. Lunch was Caesar salad and delicious pasta with shrimp and a stunning birthday dessert place. Literally any people with negative reviews should be deleted because this place was a dream. Stunning views, gorgeous property, amazing staff couldn’t ask for more.

Great place, great service, wonderful food. Massage was good and relaxing. I recommend the stone class. For the hot tubs bring waterproof Bluetooth headphones for relax music recommended since there is a few people talking. Overall great experience. A bit expensive but, every good service and great place are now days anyway. I would recommend a night stay if within the budget to get a full experience. Thanks 👍

Feedback on Our Recent Stay Dear Ste. Anne’s Team, We have been coming to Ste. Anne’s for over four years now, always around the same time of year, and it’s become a special tradition for us. Unfortunately, this most recent visit was not quite up to the usual standard we’ve come to know and love. Overall, I would rate this stay a 6/10, when our previous experiences have consistently been closer to a 9/10. This time, we noticed several issues that detracted from the experience. Service during both of our dinners was noticeably subpar — quite slow and not reflective of Ste. Anne’s usual reputation. Breakfast was also underwhelming when it’s typically a highlight for us. Additionally, on multiple occasions, other guests were quite loud and boisterous, despite the posted “whisper only” signs. We did mention it to a couple of staff members during our stay, but unfortunately, it persisted. One of the beds in our cottage was also broken and sagging in the middle, which made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Hopefully this can be remedied before our next visit. On a positive note, we truly enjoyed our massages — all of the RMTs were excellent, and I’d especially like to commend Phuong, who went above and beyond my expectations. The new globe structures were also a wonderful addition, and overall the food (aside from breakfast) was very good. We also appreciated the special dessert that was arranged for my mum’s birthday — it meant a lot. We’re hopeful these issues can be addressed, as Ste. Anne’s has always been one of our favourite places to relax and recharge, and we’d love to see it return to its usual standard of excellence by the time we visit again next year.

Amazing food, lots to keep you busy with throughout the day (or not busy if you prefer that), I have been twice now and had an RMT massage on one visit and a body wrap on the other occasion. Such a local gem. The team is very accommodating. We go on a spa trip annually to spas in the Toronto-Ottawa areas and I can see us returning here over and over again. The scenery is gorgeous, such a serene experience. The price is pretty all inclusive as well so although you pay more upfront, I find that the value is very comparable (and even exceeds) the competition by the time you add on all the extras elsewhere. Worth every penny. Can’t wait until our next visit.

Great experience! Our 4 yr old grandson was excited to see all the reptiles .. snakes, alligators/ crocodiles!! We were under the impression this was a drive through however that is no longer an option. There are roads, gravel to walk through the Dino creatures so recommend good walking shoes. They also have a museum Dino displays building , some Dino’s are robotic, make noises. I’ve added a few photos of just some of the many photos we took! I can’t show all its many fine features this place offers! Price was decent for the experience, would recommend this to anyone passing through ! Clean washrooms upon entering the check in. Not much in the way of spots to stop and rest during the walk of the Dino layout. For younger kids a wagon is a great option as our grandson found it too much so we are glad we brought ours. Staff were very friendly and helpful! There is a mini putt at the entrance and a food truck was also available. Inside has the typical visitor gifts to purchase! And a small ice cream bars to purchase! We grabbed our treat when we departed! Thanks for a great experience!!

Fantastic place!! I went with my 3 year old, this place is also a non-profit reptile sanctuary! I have never veen so close to a black mamba or cobra before!! The dinosaurs were huge the walking path was smooth enough for a stroller. You are able to bring food and there are picnic benches throughout.

Awesome afternoon! The kids really enjoyed all the moving and still dinos! Bring good shoes, lots of walking. Amazing to see all the rescued reptiles, alligators, crocodiles, tortoises, snakes and more! Highly recommend if you love dinosaurs!

From the moment you arrive, the care and dedication of the team is obvious. Every rescued reptile here—from snakes and lizards to turtles and dragons—has a name, a story, and a forever home thanks to the people behind this incredible organization. You can feel the love and respect they have for every creature in their care. The dinosaur exhibits are also impressive—especially considering they’re entirely funded by donations and run by volunteers. It’s part museum, part educational experience, and part walk-through time machine. Kids and adults alike will love the life-sized dino sculptures and fossil displays, and there’s plenty of interactive elements to keep you engaged. ✨ What makes this place truly special: • It’s 100% non-profit, so every dollar supports animal care and education • You get to meet real, living reptiles up close (safely!) • The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate • It’s perfect for families, school trips, or curious adventurers of any age Whether you’re a reptile enthusiast, a dino lover, or just looking for something cool to do off the beaten path, Canada’s Dinosaur Park is worth the trip. Support a local cause, learn something new, and leave with your heart full. 📍 Located in Bancroft, ON 🦖 Visit them, donate if you can, and spread the word—this hidden gem deserves all the love.

We stopped at Canada’s Dinosaur Park on our way from Toronto to Quebec thinking it would be a fun break for our 4 year old who loves dinosaurs but it was honestly a letdown. These are basically large toy models that move slightly with sound effects that are too low to really impress. They no longer have a drive thru option just a walk thru which takes around 20 minutes to complete. They do have a section with live animals like snakes, turtles and alligators which was a bit more interesting. But overall my son got bored just a few minutes in and we expected more for the price we paid. $25 per adult and $15 per child feels too steep for what is offered. Something like $10 and $15 would be more reasonable. If you are local maybe try it once but I would not recommend making a special trip just for this. It is not worth a long drive.

My kid loved it here. Something different and I thought the trailer would be short but it wasnt. Time we'll spent and they are a non profit organization and take care of the animals with what they make there. Check them out, you won't be disappointed.

Canada Dinosaur Park is a very nice place to visit, especially for families. The entrance fee is reasonable, so it doesn’t feel overpriced compared to other attractions. The life-sized dinosaurs and displays are fun and engaging, and it’s a great spot for kids to explore and enjoy. That said, the park could use a bit more maintenance in certain areas. Some of the installations are starting to look a little worn, and a bit of upkeep would really help make the experience even better. Overall though, it’s a good outing that balances fun, affordability, and a unique theme.

Very nice, cool building. “Did you know?” The Big Apple is the largest apple shaped structure in the entire WORLD! I think The Big Apple houses many apple themed products such as apples, (i think) apple pie, apple bread, and more! The washrooms are super cool themed and very clean. One of the sinks in the men’s bathroom, I believe the one closest to the door on the left when you enter, had really strong water pressure like a laser. There’s also a good amount of food trucks and ice cream too outside, as well as a sweets section in the building.

How cool is that? There’s endless possibilities of snacks and treats with apples. The Big Apple is such a vibe, goes to show how much you can do with one fruit. There is every kind of apple treat you can think of, pies, donuts, cider, candy apples, you name it! The petting zoo is cool too and the whole place just feels like the perfect little road trip stop with the family or friends. 100% worth it! 🍏

Everything was nice here from the freshly baked pies, donuts, chocolate, fudge and coffee. Cashier's nice and friendly. Over all the place is kept very nice and clean as well as the bathrooms. I have to admit the food that they serve was not great from the chicken fingers, fries and wraps. I was hungry so I ate the tasteless Caesar wrap. The turkey and cheddar sandwich was super disappointing due to a processed patty. The burger and hot dog was edible for the kids. Not sure about the oil they used, the fries and chicken was not enjoyable, even the kids couldn't eat it with ketchup. I figured the next day to re heat the fries in the air fryer they had a weird smell and taste. I threw them all out. I would not recommend the items I purchased at all. It was very disappointing $70 food purchase for 5 meals.

We swung by The Big Apple for what was meant to be just a quick stop, and wow, what a mistake! This place is seriously fun and has so much more going on than just the giant, iconic roadside attraction. We actually tried to come during the summer for the petting zoo, but by the time we finished with the animals, the big store was already closed. I'm so glad we got the chance to go inside today! I didn’t get as many photos as I wanted because we were too busy running around, but trust me, the main store inside is huge. It’s not just a gift shop; it's packed floor-to-ceiling with local jams, regional treats, amazing pies, and all sorts of fun novelty items. My quick stop turned into an hour instantly. If you're planning a trip, prepare to lose some time! You could easily spend 2 to 3 hours here just browsing, grabbing some delicious fresh-baked goods, and exploring the whole area. It’s a great spot for families or anyone needing a memorable, delicious pit stop. Highly recommend, but definitely don't rush it like we did!

You can really feel the passion of the owner in keeping The Big Apple thriving. The place offers a wonderful variety of food, freshly baked products, candies, and cider — all showcasing its lively spirit. With excellent parking for both cars and tour buses, it has truly become an iconic must-visit stop along Highway 401 heading east.

Great place to visit with your family and friends. They have a little bit of everything, food, gift, bakery, candies and even an pet zoo. The food was super tasty and the portion were very good, we were super impressed and satisfied with the flavour and prices of everything.

This place is a worthwhile pit stop for long travels but I do not recommend it as a travel destination (if that makes sense). The place has got every necessary thing a pit stop station would have but make it all apple. There is also a small restaurant located at the back of the grocery area with outdoor seats. The shop stands outside were closed when we visited on a weekday afternoon, however. 🥐🥪 pastries were freshly made and were enjoyable but some may find it a little too sweet. ___________ Upon exiting the store through the back door, you will see the Big Apple to your left, and next to it are some apple trees. To the left, there is a mini-putt activity for free and a ramp to exit the building. ___________ You can enter the apple through the side entrance. There are a total of 3 flights of stairs to access the very top part of the apple. It is spacious, dusty and ventilated by 2 electric fans on the second floor. There are also a few benches on the second floor. Overall, it is such a beautiful place to stop by and keep the morale of a long trip.
