Fell in love with NEOB Niagara from the moment we first discovered it about 10 years ago. I adore lavender 💜. It’s also a bonus that it’s woman owned. And the products - they’ve truly become part of my life. I can’t live without their tea light candles (burning one now… glorious lavender… yum!). Their lavender linen spray is part of my nightly wind-down. I mist my sheets and pillowcases every night. It’s such a relaxing, subtly fragrant way to signal sleep. I use their lavender laundry soap to wash special items like our sheets and towels. Extra cozy, extra comfort. Bonus: the lavender dryer bags are also amazing for those. Their rose geranium spray is something I always keep with me. It’s light, refreshing, and feels like a tiny self-care ritual. Especially lovely for moms. I keep one in each bathroom vanity at home and always travel with one in my bag. It’s perfect for misting on a plane or at the airport after a long travel day. I also travel with the tea lights. They’re nice and compact, and I pop one into my soapstone oil burner to bring a little calm wherever I’m staying. What really surprised me was how much my son enjoyed the boutique too. Normally when mommy shops, he’s swaying side to side going, “Mommy, I’m bored,” but not here. He was totally into smelling all the soaps and oils. It was such an olfactory delight for the whole family! We also loved trying their lavender cookies, popcorn, and honey. Such a treat. I’ve even ordered some to have at home. And it was really fun to show my son where lavender actually comes from, one of mommy’s favourite things 😍 The boutique itself has a quiet beauty to it. Natural wood, soft lighting, thoughtful displays. It doesn’t feel over-styled or forced. Just peaceful and grounded. You notice the scents, the textures, the light. I hope they always keep making the things I mentioned - the candles, the linen spray, the laundry soap and dryer bags, the rose geranium mist. They’ve become part of my home, my travels, my everyday rhythm 💜. And if they ever add lavender lemonade or lavender soft serve at their boutiques in the summertime - we’ll be first in line!! 😉

We stumbled upon this little boutique shop while on a weekend away in Niagara on the lake. Beautiful little shop with a huge array of products I can’t even begin to elaborate on. Definitely a must see if in the area. The shopkeeper was super knowledgable and helpful, and we picked up the pillow spray and one of the lavender shampoo. They have some fantastic looking gift baskets here that I’m sure anyone would love to receive or give. The smell while in here was incredible. ♥️ the great discovery! Thank you for a wonderful first experience in your shop!

THIS ADDRESS for 38 QUEEN IS THE STORE (Boutique) in the town. This is not the correct address for their Lavender farm which is at 933 Niagara Stone Road. The farm has another page on Google Maps with the correct address and photos. Please update the photos to include the boutique in the town. It’s misleading for tourists to drive all the way to the town and think the address is taking them to the farm.

Thank you Tracey? I visited in late July and you educated me on all the lavenders! I couldn’t decide without you. Thank you so much! I would come in this store every day if I could & just to see you too! I bought edible lavender for lemon cookies and pillow spray. I adore this shop!

We enjoyed our time at the lavender field. The wild flowers are quite beautiful and we.took many pictures. As we're traveling a long way, it didn't make sense to get a bouquet, but we did enjoy all the lovely products in the shop. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks for everything!

Wanted to share this review for about the past month but I was waiting to give some feedback on the products I bought as well. The boutique is very easy to find with a wide range of products focusing on lavender but also combining it with complementary scents. Great options for both men and women but really everything is unisex for the most part. I did purchase the lavender water and ice cream which were both refreshing and delicious. For body I purchased the soap bar which is very refreshing and doesn’t dry my skin out. For home I bought the pillow mist which I love and find very calming. Customer service was great, informative but never pushy. Location is wonderful for taking pictures and gram friendly moments.

Lavender farm is one of the best place to spend a relaxing afternoon. Best bloom time are during early July. Harvest season toward end of July to early August. We came during harvest season to experience the lavender aroma in the air. Staff here are very nice and accommodating. The site boutique is a must see (attached pictures of few products they have) lots of great products to pumper your day. Parking is free. Entrance fee depends on which season. We only paid $5 for 2 adult and one child because it was almost end of season and they always say less bloom left as they are harvesting each day. You’ll be to judge from photos we got. They also provided us $6 credit towards any purchase at the boutique so to do the math we basically got free entrance that day. Take note that lavender flowers are tiny by nature and if ty go there with point and shoot smart phone, you got to plan at its greatest bloom season. For we do photography as a hubby, we tend to not worry about any season to visit as kind of know how to capture an angle to make them look at its best. Staff attitude is really a plus. That’s what makes us love the place. That promotes good moods prior to the start of your visit and it last till you got home. Hope this review helps on your future plans to visit this place.

Such an amazing place, I really want to go back soon. The pizzas were amazing, their white sangria was great, it’s a great romantic spot or to go with friends or family. Also, I really liked that the owner is so involved with the business. There’s plenty of parking but I suggest you to book in advance, it gets busy!

Had an incredible experience here! Our server, Amanda Olivia, was such a joy. Even though she was new, she did a fantastic job explaining the different wines and made the evening feel fun and engaging. The atmosphere was absolutely charming—the ambience and décor captured the essence of a quaint Italian town, with the outdoor setting adding to the magic. Overall, it was a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable visit.

I had a really great time at Colaneri Estate Winery. The place is absolutely beautiful — the architecture and vineyard views make it feel like a little getaway. We did the seated tasting, and it was honestly one of the highlights. It was relaxed, unhurried, and really comfortable. The staff walked us through each wine in a friendly, easy-to-understand way, and what made it even more special was that one of the winery’s family members stopped by to chat with us. It was such a genuine, warm interaction and made the experience feel even more personal. They also explained their use of the Italian Appassimento method, which was really interesting to learn about and shows how much care goes into their winemaking. The wines were fantastic, especially their richer reds (my preferences), and the whole atmosphere just made for a perfect afternoon. Overall, a lovely visit — great wine, great views, and a really memorable tasting. I’d definitely go back and recommend it to others.

Super cool winery with a really great Italian vibe and even temporary palm trees up front. The wines are amazing and so is their pizza. Our server Olivia was amazing.

Had a beautiful afternoon at Colaneri Estate Winery! 🍷☀️ We walked in on a Sunday at 3pm without any reservations and the patio had plenty of spots available. Our party of 4 did a patio wine tasting that included 3 flutes of your choice and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience ( $20 per person ) My favourite wine was unfortunately sold out ( Syrah ) But the views from the patio made me forget that fact! The views are simply stunning — vineyards as far as the eye can see, and the whole property has this charming and authentic Italian villa feel. We tried a variety of wines, all unique and flavourful, and the staff were super knowledgeable and friendly, guiding us through each one without rushing. We also ordered a wood-fired Margarita pizza — fresh, delicious, and the perfect pairing with the 🍷 To top it off, we treated ourselves to vanilla and pistachios gelato 🍨 and it was exactly what was needed on a hot afternoon day! If you’re looking for a scenic and relaxing afternoon in wine country with great food and wine, Colaneri is definitely worth a visit. 🍕🍦🍇 Quick note: you can bring children ( I had a newborn baby with me and paid for my sister and mom to have experience with me ) or dogs only outside on the patio and not inside wine-tasting. I learnt that the hard way the few previous times I booked my reservations for private tasting and was denied access.

We just returned home from a weekend away in NOTL ~ Colaneri Estate Winery is always a favourite! Last year we had Dean as our tasting guide, this year we had Anya ~ we would highly recommend either of them! The information about the wine, the winery, the family was wonderfully shared!

Chris one of the family owners was excellent and cheerful. Tells great stories about the wine and his family. You would think you were in Italy

writing this specifically for the Bravo food truck, the food was so good! we got grilled chicken and lasagna, genuinely the best grilled chicken I’ve ever had. the gentleman running the truck was super nice!! I loved chatting with him, he’s very down to earth, the food is also halal, fresh and healthy. luckily all the trucks outside serve halal food, but this one in particular is my favourite. the quantity is also a lot and worth the price compared to the food inside the building! highly recommend!! thanks again for the great conversation and food!

Niagara Outlet Mall is a must-visit if you’re in the area! The mall is huge with a fantastic selection of brands and stores, from fashion and sportswear to accessories and home items. You can easily spend hours exploring and finding great deals. The food court has plenty of choices, and there are also restaurants nearby if you want to sit down for a proper meal. Parking is very convenient with lots of spots, so you don’t have to worry even on busy days. Overall, it’s a great place for shopping, eating, and spending time with family or friends.

This is a nice outlet mall with stores from all major global retailers. Found the shops in this outlet mall to be better stocked, and the staff was definitely nicer than the outlet mall near Toronto. Hence would recommend stopping by at this mall on your way to and from Niagara Falls. There is plenty of parking across all sides of the mall. There is a children play area, ATMs, food and beverage shops around the mall. The mall does get crowded, however parking is a lot easier to find as compared to other similar malls.

I visited this outlet completely by chance, and I must say it felt very cozy and atmospheric. My favorite stop was the Victoria’s Secret store, because I was really able to shop well there and find great deals for a small amount of money. The only downside for me is that the outlet overall doesn’t really stand out compared to others – apart from that one store, the selection felt pretty much the same as anywhere else. Will I come back? I don’t see much reason to travel specifically to Toronto just for this outlet, but if I’m nearby, I would definitely stop by again. Pros: cozy atmosphere, good variety, great Victoria’s Secret store Cons: nothing major, but overall it feels like a very standard outlet

Niagara Outlet Mall is a big and beautiful place. You can find many brand clothes, shoes, and other useful things. It’s a great mall for shopping.

Great place for shopping! Lots of brand options, good deals, and plenty of parking. The layout is easy to walk, and the staff at most stores are friendly. Perfect for a quick shopping trip or a full day out.

Enjoyed the mall nice deals and discounts having all large brands a good stop while going to Naigara, available Starbucks, Mac Donald and other street food on mobile vans , I suggest all the ages can visit the place. As all the facilities available like wheel chairs wash rooms and mall maintenance was awesome , we have done a good shopping even though not planned it

I visited on a very hot summer day and unfortunately many of the animals were either hiding in the shade or sleeping, which made it harder to see them. I was especially excited to see the polar bears, but they were resting during my visit. The zoo itself is quite large, and it can easily take half a day to explore all the different sections. I think going in the fall would be a better experience since the weather is cooler and the animals are likely to be more active and visible. Despite the heat, I really enjoyed walking through the different areas, and my favorite part of the zoo was definitely the Africa section with its wide variety of animals and beautiful setting. Overall, it was a fun visit and I would recommend it, but the timing of the season can make a big difference in what you get to see.

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

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

I haven't been to the zoo in 30 years! My one year old grandchild was in awe and it brought back wonderful memories of visiting with his mother. I loved how clean it was and the hospital was pretty amazing. The staff were most helpful too. A great day had by all.

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

We hadn't been to the zoo in over a decade. Though we got there relatively early in the day, we ended up skipping the whole Canadian section for two reasons: time, and the sheer amount of walking we would have had to do. The day we went, the Capybaras were also block off (or at least we could not figure out how to get to them). A tad disappointing for one of our party. I think that some of the signs were a tad difficult to follow, even with a map to help guide us. There was also limited staff on the premises with visitors, so there wasn't really anyone we could ask other than other visitors. I strongly encourage the following: 1. Buy your tickets in advance. If buying on location, make sure to show your presto card for a discount. 2. Bring food and water. You will get hungry, and as with all day long trips you will need to refresh and fuel yourself. 3. Bring a good camera. You're not particularly close to any of the animals in outdoor enclosures (understandable), so if you wish to take pictures, make sure you bring your best camera or phone. 4. Make note of washrooms. There are a good number of them, but you do have to walk a good little while between each one.

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

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

Located in Lakeside Park ( willows in the Breeze...yes, that Park) Ride for only 5 cents, if you don't have a Nickel a larger donation is always appreciated. Great Park, take a stroll on the Pier or play in the sand on the beach.

Such a lovely surprise near the lakeside beach — a fun little activity for kids! Our kids had a blast. It’s just 5 cents per child, and you can donate whatever you feel like. Such a sweet gesture for the community! 🌞💛

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

Timeless treasure in the Niagara Region. Many beloved childhood memories here and I am delighted to return as an adult. Everyone can enjoy a piece of history with the Lakeside Park Carousel – and please consider donating so it can be enjoyed by future generations 🩷

The carousel is right by the beach, surrounded by trees and picnic areas, so it’s easy to make a whole family outing of it. The music and hand-carved horses give it a nostalgic feel, and it’s always well maintained thanks to the city and volunteers. Parking is available nearby, and washrooms are close by in the park. It’s busiest on sunny weekends, but the line moves quickly. Whether you’re visiting with kids or just want a bit of old-fashioned fun, this is a must-see stop in Port Dalhousie — timeless, affordable, and full of heart.

This carrousel I believe is the oldest one in the country. It is iconic and a wonderful piece of history still cost only a nickel and it’s situated at Lakeside Park the popular Rush song it talks about Lakeside Park, beautiful beach, and park and a lot of amenities around there from dining to exploring solid five out of five in Port falhousie would highly recommend once you’re finished navigating around the park you can walk the pier to have a great vantage point of some of the best sunsets around. Great place to visit whether you are a local or a tourist.!

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

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

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

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

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

Located in a cozy complex that is modern and chic, Aga Khan provides a glimpse into the Islamic culture and traditional art that is both astonishingly stunning and intellectually inspiring. We spent the afternoon in the museum and learnt a lot of about the culture. The permanent exhibition brings artefacts from around the world into the building, with many approaching a thousand years of age and still preserved in very good condition. We were slightly disappointed from the fact that the collection is quite limited, and I wasn’t sure if there is a particular story telling in how the museum collection is planned. It was by region and I feel like I did not learn a lot about how Islam was developed in each region and the contrast and the similarity. The special exhibition we saw was from the calligraphy and we did learn more about the specifics of it, but some of the information was overlapped with the permanent exhibition. Overall it was a joyful 1-2 hour visit but it wasn’t a whole afternoon activity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nov 2024 Almost 6 km span of road where a number of interesting stores and areas can be found

Good Vibes and pretty cool Colors. Love this place and street.

Hi I’m treated not good by the nurse and other workers the inject Me today, Today they injected me so that my private can’t function niddle they don’t even ask they force me to take it. With group of worker. I’m going to Shue them with a lawyer and court

Nice Area,lovely shops.

Lots of great restaurants and shops

Favorite spot for a walk to nowhere

Beautiful street !

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A beautiful walkway with trees covered with lights, which makes it a wonderful place to take pictures at night. We were coming back from a New Year’s Eve party, and when we drove by Newmarket Riverwalk comments, everyone wanted to go walk and take pictures. And that’s what we exactly did in the first hours of 2024

Riverwalk Commons is truly within the heart of Newmarket. Live concerts, outdoor theatre/movie nights, farmers markets… there’s always something happening. On a day when it’s quieter in the area, there is a beautiful, looping trail that goes around the pond in Fairy Lake. It’s accessible for wheelchair and other various mobility devices to utilize year-round, and even in the winter, the paved path seems to be fairly well-kept and clear of snow and debris. In the summer, there’s a clean and open-access splash pad that’s always bustling with activity. There’s a ramp leading into the water, which is perfect for young children or those using mobility aids. In the winter, it’s turned into a skating rink that’s maintained by the town throughout the day and they (may) have support bars available for those less confident in their skating skills. Along Riverwalk Commons, there are tons of small shops and local businesses within walking distance. Walk 500 metres to Main Street and you’ll find a wide variety of restaurants, some offering live music on certain nights. Like many small town Main Streets, it’s family-friendly and bustling with events and activities during the day, although it’s important to travel in pairs and in well-lit areas at night, especially if you’re taking advantage of the various late-night restaurants and local bars. The older buildings are well-maintained and some have been turned into historic sites to learn more about the rich history of the Newmarket area. There are tons of hidden gems and no matter how many times you visit, there’s always something new to discover.

A great place to walk around and enjoy. It is very next to the Newmarket's Mainstreet, which was part of the first settlement in the area. Several good restaurants, cafes, and bars are on Mainstreet.

They have really done a great job at the Riverwalk Commons and children had a lot of fun playing in the Splash pad. We went to the music in the park from 7 to 9pm and it was a blast. Great music in spite of the rain.

Great place to wander around and easy pathways. There’s a wading pool with change rooms, paved path around the Fairy Lake to stroll around, children’s playground and plenty of free parking.

Amazing place to walk and have a great time with family... it is really huge and so much greenery.. my great idea of spending a Saturday after noon

Imagine walk beside the river and after that you will find yourself in hearth of Newmarket downtown with several good restaurants and bars also there is a great community which has a lot of fun programs such as music festivals and place for kids to play (technically it is water playground)

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

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

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

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

Beautiful and elegant. Spacious for dinning and walk around

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

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

We attended the Whiskey weekend and took the tour. A great place and very informative. Bonus was the live music, BBQ, corn hole game, bottle signing, gift shop and the free samples. Definitely going to make this a yearly event. Well worth it.

Forty Creek has been one of my favourite Whisky’s for a while, since the Tariff’s took away Kahlua is no longer obtainable, I decided to try Bolivar’s Coffee Liquor and it is easily a superior product. I always order directly through the distillery and they always get the package to me the next day. This last order was suppose to come with a free 50ml sample of Pickled Vodka that never came in my package, but the shipping is so quick and everything else was right that I don’t really care. The packaging they send the items in is also really nice and ensures the bottles do not ever touch. I hope to get the 3L barrel they sell soon and maybe in the future, get a chance to tour the distillery in Grimsby Ontario.

Forty Creek is an awesome spot to stop if you are looking to purchase, or sample some pretty nice Canadian whiskeys. Brewed right on premises, they have a nice selection from their popular Double Barrel Reserve to their Confederation Oak, and many unique varieties in between. There is something for any whiskey connoisseur. There were specialty items such as their maple flavored whiskey that reminded me of liquid pancakes. Their cream was smooth and delicious as well. Samples were at no charge, but we would have been remiss not not leave a nice tip as the staff was warm, friendly and knowledgeable. The tasting space has gone though some recent renovations and is clean and relaxing. There is a special tasting room available if you book in advance (best for larger groups). There was outdoor seating and a gift shop as well. Restrooms are also on premises. The location is conveniently located just off the QEW in Grimsby, We were in town for a hockey tournament right around the corner and this made for a great stop with the team, in between games. Quite a few bottles left with us to enjoy at home as their products and selections were worth of their purchase price! RECOMMENDATION:. We did not have time, but heard the tour of the facility is well worth it and very informative. We will definitely do this the next time we are in town.

We had a terrible experience at Forty Creek Distillery after driving roughly 20 minutes out of our way to visit them. The moment we walked in, we were treated like an inconvenience rather than valued customers. Despite arriving 30 minutes before closing time, they immediately shut down the tasting option and seemed annoyed when we asked to try just one whiskey. The three girls behind the counter had a negative energy and made us feel unwelcome. We were the only customers in the store after a few others left shortly after our arrival, yet they still couldn't be bothered to provide decent service. We ultimately decided not to purchase a bottle from them and will be looking for another local distillery to support. Overall, I was incredibly disappointed with the service at Forty Creek Distillery and would not recommend them to anyone.

Had a wonderful experience tasting the different whiskies produced by fourty creek. It is a facility to buy their liqours and other soveniours branded on Forty Creek.

I popped in yesterday morning to ask if they sell a gift pack I saw online, in the store. The lovely girl said "Unfortunately no, but I can build you something similar if you'd like" For me, that was above and beyond customer service! She was very friendly and helpful, I just wish I got her name.. thank you cashier 000105!

Great product. Annual onsite whisky weekend is always worth a visit with tastings, live music and games.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is a great mall to visit! Thanks to variety of brands available along with great deals!!! It’s food court has good vibes except the fact that vegetarians like me, has limited options!

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

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

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

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

Canada's Wonderland is probably one of the most famous Staples in Ontario to go visit, it's lots of fun. Great place to go spend time with the family. I have memories from this place from when I was a kid and now I bring my own kids, Roller coasters are always my favorite and they have some of the best roller coasters I've ever been on. While this place does get very busy and crowded I have yet to found a good day to go where it's not very crowded Prices are very expensive for tickets and if you don't want to wait in line then you have to pay an enormous amount of money in my book for speed passes and then if you want to ride the big roller coasters for the speed pass you have to pay even more money for on VIP speedpass, The water park has lines just as long as the rides. It is very crowded and busy there as well in the summer, Halloween haunt was lots of fun when I was a kid but after covid everything's changed and from what I hear now you have to pay and buy a special pass just to go into all the haunted houses now because the haunted houses were the favorite part of this event in my book. Although riding a roller coaster in the dark is pretty fun as well

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

We are absolutely thrilled with Wonderland! 🌟 This park is a true wonder for the whole family. We visited it with our kids about 15 times this year, and each visit was a unique adventure. The park is incredibly well-designed, with bright and colorful rides that bring so much joy and excitement to both children and adults. We especially loved the extreme roller coasters, which are packed with adrenaline, as well as the calmer, fun carousels perfect for the little ones. Every corner of the park is filled with a magical atmosphere — from the well-kept green pathways to the vibrant decorations and themed areas. Wonderland is a place where you can fully immerse yourself in magic, joy, and fun. There’s something for everyone here: whether it’s thrilling rides, beautiful photo spots, or just enjoying quality time together as a family. We will definitely keep coming back again and again! 🎢🎡✨

A hidden gem in Mississauga! It’s a beautiful conservation area with a long boardwalk over the marshes. You can follow the boardwalk all the way to a shingle beach. The beach is fairly long with lovely views of the Toronto skyline. It’s a peaceful place; even on the weekend it was not busy. One of the entrances to the conservation area is from a quiet, secluded residential area. It’s a great place to connect with nature and get some exercise.

Beautiful park! Took the stroller and did the most of the Waterfront Trail, the Knoll Trail and Silver Maple Trail. I would say the Knoll Trail was best for the stroller as it was almost all boardwalk. The Silver Maple Trail had parts where it was less flat / maintained, with tree roots and such, making it a bit harder without a proper jogging stroller. There was a couple of small steps where the Waterfront Trail connected to the Silver Maple Trail, as well. No entrance fees or tickets needed. Overall the park is gorgeous, the trails are well maintained and it is a great spot for hiking!

No tickets required to enter the place. We can park vehicles at Jack Darling memorial Park as there are no parking at Rattray Marsh Conservation area. We need to be in foot only on the broadwalk, no bicycle is allowed. Get prepared for insects and ticks. It has a good views and many animals to view.

A lot of great views. You will have to park through John Darling Park. The view of the skyline and the water in John Darling is worth a trip. And an entrance to the marsh can be found around the back. Alot of nice spots to stop and take pictures on the trail. ~40-60 minutes to enjoy everything. No tickets needed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Such a beautiful place. Its far from us, but we went for the fall pumpkin trail and it was a wonderful night. Everyone we spoke to there was also so kind. Its like stepping out of thrle harshness of the world and letting this beautiful place refill your heart with joy.

Went here during day time for the pumpkin display. Beautiful decorated. Although most activities are closed for the day time and there isn't much food options, the display was nice to walk through and take photos.

A gorgeous and serene garden. The grounds are well maintained. The rock garden is beautiful. There are trails to walk. You can learn about all of the plays. It’s a great place to read and relax. Overall, the place is lovely. I recommend visiting.

One of my favorite places in Ontario! I’ve visited during summer, spring, and fall, and each season is stunning in its own way. The gardens are beautifully maintained, with peaceful walking trails and scenic spots for photos. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and there’s even a nice café for a quick break. A perfect spot for nature lovers, families, or anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors.

Very beautiful w a waterfall, reflection pool, gazebo however there seemed to be a lot of weeds and various sections were closed for a $17.00 ticket. That was a bit surprising. But overall we got some beautiful photos.

Words cannot describe how beautiful this complex is… combination of Mediterranean Greenhouse, with a nice collection of indoor decorative unique plants and European style outdoor gardens perfect for romantic occasions like weddings, it’s just walking distance from jungle where you can find wild life such as snakes, chipmunks, frogs and even bluejay!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It is an amazing place for hiking. The natural habitat and the edifice there makes it an ideal place for weekend picnics, retreat and even recollection of the soul. What amazed me there was the 100 years old cabinet used to produce maple 🍁 syrup. Mind you it's also having a mountain biking trail. It's an amazing place for relaxation and fun.

October 2025 3* Visited the place with my kids over the weekend. It is good place if you are looking for good picnic spot and splash pad for kids in summer. Also this place offer great options for treking and biking. There are many trek for biking and walking with different difficulty level. The is entry ticket for the park. The park charge $9 per adult and $7 per kids. So quite a good amount if you are big group. However there is not much to see in terms of fall colours. Lake has dried up so you can not experience it. Other big issue is that the place has ticks and need to be careful if you going in the wood. So if you are looking to visit, ensure that you are wearing light colour trouser, tuck in socks, ankle covering shoe, mosquito repellent on feet and use brush to clean yourself. Be careful if you are planning to visit with kids and check throughly after return.

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

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

Fantastic trail for a late morning hike. The scenery is amazing especially in late October!

Our visit to Springridge Farm in Milton was a delightful experience! The picturesque setting, with its vibrant fields and charming barn, created a perfect day out. The fresh, homemade treats from the bakery were a highlight, especially the apple pies. kids will love the little farm animals and wagon ride. we also enjoyed strolling through the pumpkin patch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit feel like a warm, family-friendly adventure. We’ll definitely be back next season!

Springridge Farm is a beautiful spot, especially in the fall — the décor and colours are absolutely stunning and create a perfect seasonal atmosphere. There’s a great selection of pumpkins, and the market is full of unique gifts and fun finds. The food is tasty, though it can be a bit on the pricey side, and the farm gets extremely busy — especially on weekends. We visited on a Saturday and unfortunately weren’t able to take part in many of the activities because of the crowds. That said, it’s still a wonderful place for a fall day out if you don’t mind the busyness and slightly higher prices. Highly recommend for the overall experience and atmosphere

We loved this far with kids. The tractor ride was super cool and farmer J was amazing. He gave us a little tour of the farm. The farm animals were well kept and the children enjoyed watching and feeding them. The farm is really huge.

It’s an amazing place to spend quality time with friends and family or even by yourself if you’re not glued to your phone. Ample parking. Washrooms are pretty okay. There’s some stuff to eat and drink too. All age groups can have fun.

Super cute farm to go with your family and friends! Admission was $18 plus tax to get in and there was a lot to do. We fed animals, took loads of pictures and went on the wagon ride. There were a lot of areas for the kids to play and enjoy. The bakery and market is free to enter and we were obsessed with their tarts. The Apple caramel and strawberry rhubarb was a crowd favourite for us. Would come back again!

An amazing experience. We stopped in here to check out the market and get some pumpkins. So glad we did. By far the best places we've ever gone to get pumpkins. The market was absolutely stunning and the pumpkins were great quality at a good price. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. This place is a must see in the fall/winter.

Cute and picturesque farm, but not much to do unless you enter the farm, or to visit the market. There is an area for the little ones to play but not really for teenager/adults. You can get plenty of pumpkins here during the fall. The market has a lots of fresh and baked goods; as well as some home decor.

Rattlesnake Point is such a beautiful location! 🍂 The views are absolutely breathtaking, especially in the fall when the colors of the forest look magical. It’s the perfect spot for hiking, relaxing in nature, and enjoying the stunning scenery. I also want to highlight the wonderful service. At the entrance, when purchasing the ticket, I was greeted by a staff member named Sofia. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming — her warm attitude made the start of my visit even more pleasant. People like her truly make the experience special and memorable. I highly recommend this conservation area for anyone who loves nature, hiking, and peaceful views. I will definitely come back again! 🌿

I love going here to walk the trails and to see the views The whole experience starts with the drive up that really steep sharp turn and then you get into the park Lots of trails to go on that loop around and back with good scenic views. The pictures that I posted we went down and off trail down along the cliff face walking along the rocks which I truly enjoy Which I truly enjoy There are caves around here somewhere. I haven't found them yet but I am told that there is a local tour company that will take you through them You can see people doing rock climbing on the cliffs here Definitely a favorite!

🌿 Beautiful and Peaceful Conservation Area This conservation area is absolutely beautiful and worth a visit! There are several scenic lookouts where you can enjoy stunning views of nature and feel the refreshing breeze. The trails are well-maintained, offering different lengths and difficulty levels depending on how much you want to walk. It’s a relaxing and peaceful spot, perfect for spending time outdoors. There are also comfortable rest areas, making it great for camping, picnics, or simply enjoying some snacks while taking in the view. Truly a beautiful place to unwind and connect with nature. 🌲✨ . . . ⚠️ Beware of Garden snakes 🐍 (it won’t hurt you)🤞

this was my first ever hike in canada.absolutely loved the experience and loved the fresh air of the forest. the views from the lookouts, the greenery all around, the amazing lake which has two layer of water and the way they NEVER mix and great companions all along the journey made the hike much more memorable. The views were like straight out of the movies .Only problem was washroom and if anybody is seeing my review please don’t forget to bring your snacks(we forgot)😭😂 W TRAILS, W LOOKOUTS, W VIEWS, W NATURE, W HIKING👌

Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area is absolutely stunning! The forest trails, boardwalks, and stair climbs are breathtaking and make for an amazing hike. It’s such a peaceful spot but also full of adventure — perfect for summer and fall visits. Driving through the steep hills was so much fun, and I can’t believe we only just discovered this place. Truly amazing!

Beautiful trails and easy to follow only issue was it was really crowded by 1-2pm, I left around 3:00 and the overflow parking area was full with a line to come in, I'm assuming due to the great weather. Once you are out on the actual trails it was not so bad. Great look out points and mesmerizing fall scenery.

Gorgeous views, especially this time of year! Many chipmunks to be seen too. Washroom had a bad odor that could be smelt on part of the trail as well which we thought was strange - this is my first time so I'm not sure if that is typical for this area. We parked in the lower parking and walked the Vista Adventure Trail, lots of lookouts for a 1.5km trail. Highly recommend.

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

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

Lovely place to roam several trails and boardwalks, around the lake or through the woods, one trail connects to Rattlesnake Point. Visitors centre has souvenirs and basic snacks with a coffee machine, also plumbed toilets. The reconstructed village is excellently layed out.

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

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

Beautiful trail, dont bring bananas because the monkeys in the trees will try to take them from you. The views are amazing. I got to the top, and could see the CN Tower.

A good and quiet place to visit. It has some multiple trails but most people consider board walk trail We bought tickets to experience Board walk around the lake and were not disappointed

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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