Shoe store
Teen-oriented chain supplying casual, surf-&-skate-inspired clothes, shoes & accessories.
Really great selectin of shoes! If you can't find what you're looking for at Foot Locker, it's probably here with rare limited selections! They staff here are all very nice and friendly. They give quite good recommendations based on what your desires are and are fairly knowledgeable of the brand/inventory they own. Well organized with nice seating arrangement as well.

I had a terrible experience here on January 8th. The shoes I bought were advertised on sale at a specific price and even had the tag with the price on them, but when I went to check out, the cashier cut off the tag with the sale price and I got charged $20 more. When I told the girl cashing me out she said that they didn’t have time to change the tags on the sale items at all that day but it was already 4pm in the day, I’m sure they could’ve had time to change it or at least honor the price on the shoe. Instead she said there’s nothing she can do and couldn’t give me the show for that price.

I come in, buy some boots..went home, only to realise i received a size larger ..not only the wrong size..but the wrong boot too ..they didn't fit, they were too big, bring them back to store.. and what does manager Azra say? They are WORN! CANT RETURN, THERES MUD ON THEM. How can they be worn when they never fit? Also, can someone please show me the mud?!?! Ive been shopping here for the last 5 years, buying everything from sneakers to boots, even the wife has bought from here so many times. Never had a problem before. My challenge remains, find the mud! I insisted so many times that they were not worn but she didn't want to listen. All this really goes to show me is that they sold me shoes that had been worn before.
Fahad I — Google review
I wanted to buy a shoe for my girl but the attendant is not very helpful. She made me feel like im disturbing her several times when I asked for a size. I’m a salesman, too. It saddens me whenever I witness a salesperson in the store failing to perform their duties effectively. We didn't make a purchase before leaving the store because she did not attend us properly, which amounts to a missed sales opportunity. Having her in your business leads to financial loss for your company. Visited July 13, 2023, qround 12:10…
Alma R — Google review
My daughter and I walked into 5 or 6 different shoe stores on a quiet Tuesday morning in Square One. Not a single employee in any of those stores asked if we needed help finding anything and in one case he couldn’t be bothered to look up from his phone. Not until we walked into Journeys and were greeted by Ali. She was kind and helpful and steered us to a shoe that we would never have looked at. She is definitely a kind soul and a great employee! I would shop here again based on the service alone. Thanks Ali!
Nicole B — Google review
I came in to return a brand new pair of shoes and was told I couldn’t return them because they were worn. I bought them online and attempted to return them the same day I received them. They were a simple pair of black vans with not even so much as a spec of dust. Staff were condescending and made me feel like a criminal.

I purchased a pair of heeled Crocs from this store months ago. The cashier from that time recognised me when I went in recently, and asked about me. That made my day. I appreciate it. Also, the Crocs are awesome. I wear them everywhere. The price was very reasonable.
Sara — Google review
Great shoe selection for men, women and kids. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. I ordered a shoe from them that they didn't have in store and there was a big mix up. When I came into the store to solve it, associates Tashèe and Alex went above and beyond to come up with a solution and I left satisfied.

This is a nice little park best during the Christmas season. They have a skating rink with equipment rentals. Its a bit difficult to find the parking. The best option is to park at the City Hall public parking where the first hour is free. Great for Christmas photos

Gage Park in Brampton is an amazing place. Beautiful park with lots of trees and greenery. Personally, I like it during the snowtime. During the winter, the park is illuminated with lights all over, and an absolute delight and treat to the eyes and mind. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience in the freezing cold, worth it, unforgettable and just loved it. Not to miss this illuminated experience during the next winter.
Thonta P — Google review
I was staying near Gage Park. I used to come here almost every week. I have seen this park in every season. Now I'm shifted to another place and i miss this park very much. It was such a cute park with cherry blossom tree, Farmer's market, fall colors, tree lightening ceremony, skating rink, beautiful decoration, and jamming sessions by some freelance musicians on weekends. I miss everything. I wish to come here someday to enjoy the charm of this park.
Archana W — Google review
As everyone is visiting places to get the wonderful view of cherry blossoms, me and my friend decided to go to Gage Park as it is in the Downtown hence, very accessible by bus. Although front side of the park was temporarily fenced due to renovation probably, we still got beautiful sight of the white cherry blossoms. We soaked ourselves in the sunlight and the fresh air and clicked tons of nice pictures. The bungalow is a great place to get clicked with. Overall, it was worth of spending time! Made our day!

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

Our previous visit to Kacaba was during a period of covid restrictions, so it was super to be back when the full great experience was available. They have a spacious bright tasting room/event space on two levels in the main hall, and a private room is also available. Lots of outdoor spaces for visits on the warmer months. Our visit this time was related to our membership at another nearby winery, Commisso, whose club includes partnerships with a number of nearby wineries for tastings. Kacaba has a lot to offer! Among the three of us, we tasted most of the menu and had a lovely visit with the staff member. My top two were the Reserve Reisling and, of course Joanne's Blend (sparkling!). My partner and our companion were both quite pleased with multi-award winning Syrah Reserve and Meritage Reserve. All in all, it was a great way to have spent a dreary December afternoon.

Nature & Parks
Elora Gorge Conservation Area is a stunning natural space featuring a deep ravine and the majestic Grand River flowing through it. The gorge, formed by retreating glaciers, spans about two kilometers and boasts limestone cliffs reaching 22 meters in height. Visitors can enjoy riverside trails, scenic overlooks with breathtaking views of kayakers and tubers navigating the rapids below, as well as camping opportunities. For adventure seekers, activities like zip lining and tubing down the river are available.
If you want to see nature at its best, with rivers that wind around this area with all their glory, and see some amazing things such as the Hole in the Rock, and easy trails, this is a place to be. We went there to go tubing however the whole conservation area was full of great areas including picnic areas (bring your own picnic food like we did), camping, tubing, and trails. I would highly recommend it and strong recommend the tubing (make sure to book it 72 hours ahead of time ideally) as I was such an awesome feeling being pulled by the river. There are even waterfalls there!

*A Natural Wonderland for All Ages Our recent hike at the gorge was an unforgettable experience! The stunning natural rock formations are a sight to behold, offering breathtaking views at every turn. The well-laid paths made the hike enjoyable and accessible, allowing us to fully take in the beauty of the area without difficulty. The gorge was just that! Gorgeous! What impressed me most was how incredibly clean the entire park was—it's clear that a lot of care and effort go into maintaining this natural gem. Despite the rugged landscape, Elora Gorge is very kid-friendly, which made it a perfect family adventure. Even with the steep drop-offs, we felt safe knowing that dangerous areas were carefully fenced off, ensuring everyone could enjoy the scenery without worry. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-maintained place to hike that’s suitable for all ages, I highly recommend visiting!
Nikki M — Google review
It was a short walk from the parking area to the hole in the rock stairs. The cedar tree roots growing around the large rock is magical. We were there on a weekday morning this week and had the place to ourselves. There is a forest trail to a stone lookout where you get a view of the limestone rockface. We were happy to follow a review that suggested going to Victoria Park in downtown Elora and taking the stairs down to the river for a close up view of the gorge. Be careful as the trail is really rough with steep rocky path. The combination of the two trails gives you the best experience.
Michelle W — Google review
*only reviewing tubing on the gorge* I went tubing with a few friends and really enjoyed myself! The tubing price was $54 plus the park entrance fee. For the price I likely wouldn't do this again. For the price I'd expect a tube collection service which there isn't. Also due to bridge construction we couldn't park at the finish line to drive back to the drop off so we had to walk 45mins. I don't mind walking but for the price I shouldn't have to walk with all the equipment. However all that said, I really found the gorge beautiful and the (small) rapids were fun! We all had a good time
Keven P — Google review
There is an entry fees of $8 per person. There are three trails that you can go. They are not tough so can go with kids as well but not with stroller and all. You can enjoy tubing but tickets should be purchased in advance. There are multiple parking lots. You can enjoy a day out with your family but carry your own food and water as there no foods stalls inside that. I didn’t find Look out points much attractive, I think tubing would be fun and that is on my bucket list, will definitely try next time.

Elora Gorge Park is a protected area surrounding a deep gorge, and we visited for a walk through the picturesque landscape. We were amazed by the stunning natural beauty, clean environment, and excellent facilities. It seemed like we paid С$8.50 per person and spent the entire day here with friends and their dog.
Olha K — Google review
Park entry fee: $8.00/person Cars were parked on the grass or anywhere they found the space. Tubing: registration $20/person Plan ahead, the line was long. If you rented the equipment elsewhere, you don’t have to wait in line but there’s no signs up indicating which wasted a lot of time. Once you get the band, follow the yellow steps to the launching area. The hike is steep and long. Once you get into the water, you are on your own, there aren’t life guards. The water flow was steady but other areas, fast. There is a area in between you can stop and dive off into the water. It’s not easy to navigate the where to go unless you paddle in some way(used my water shoes) It’s beautiful along the way, the scenery is beautiful, you will pass a waterfall! When you get to the end, it’s best to step off as it was harder when when you reach the chain. Now the walk back to return equipment (if rented on site) and to the parking is also long but through the trail so just follow the signs. Along the way, I saw many camp sites. Tips, Bring water shoes, rocks Bring water proof case for car keys/phones. I guarantee if not secured, you will lose it. Bring ropes if you want to stay linked to your friends Wear sun screen Wear life jacket Wear helmet

From World War I-era prop planes to modern jet fighters, the museum showcases Canada's aviation history.

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

Great place to bring kids to, lot of different war time planes to see. There are 2-3 different types of aircrafts where the kids can go in and even sit in the cockpit. Lot of historical information related to specific planes and the role they played during various wars. They have 2 propeller planes which offer the opportunity to fly in them as well. They also have free flight simulators which are a lot of fun. There is a small merchandise shop which is nice. There is ample parking. overall lot of fun for kids and adults alike. Overall must visit place for anyone interested in WWII, Canadian history and aviation history.

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

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

One of the highlights is their life-sized interactive avatars, which share fascinating stories and historical details—perfect if you prefer listening instead of reading. The museum also features beautifully restored aircraft, some of which still fly, making the experience even more special. It’s educational, interactive, and enjoyable for all ages—whether you’re a history buff, an aviation enthusiast, or just looking for a family-friendly outing. Recommended 💯% !! 😊

Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory

Mentioned on 
24 lists 
Nature & Parks
Garden
The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory is a 25,000 square foot facility located on a 107-acre site that includes the environmentally-sensitive Kossuth Bog. It features an indoor tropical garden with thousands of free-flying butterflies from around the world, over 100 varieties of tropical plants, waterfalls, streams, reflecting pools, and various animals. Visitors can witness butterflies emerging from their chrysalis and taking their first flight while relaxing among the beautiful water features.
We had a blast as a family walking throughout the conservatory and inspecting all the bugs. My daughter had so much fun. We ordered food at the cafe and my daughter loved the park just outside too. Staff was friendly and able to help if you needed it. There is a cute gift shop inside as well. Try to book ahead, they could sell out and if they do they will not take walk ins. If you look online before you go and there are many open tickets you might be fine but why chance it?
Brittany R — Google review
First off, the reservations — you have to book a time slot online and pay for tickets ahead of your visit. They clearly state they may turn away walk-ins if it’s busy. Understandable, since the butterfly area is small, and they don’t want to overcrowd it. On the plus side, parking is free and there’s plenty of it. Inside, there’s a small cafeteria and even a little playground for kids. The entrance leads to a small welcome area, and then you pass through double doors into the butterfly conservatory. The space is kept warm and humid for the butterflies — which feels nice on a cold winter day, but on a sunny day I was sweating buckets. There are lots of butterflies, and if you’re lucky one might even land on you. Now the downsides: the arena is very small. You can easily see the whole thing in under 15 minutes. For the size, the ticket prices feel steep. They don’t allow outside food, which is tough considering many visitors are families with kids, and there’s no designated area to sit and eat your own snacks anyway. If you’re a larger family with kids over 2, expect to spend quite a bit between tickets and the cafeteria. Overall, it’s worth visiting once for the experience, but don’t stress if you skip it — you’re not missing a full-day adventure.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Butterfly Conservatory. It was quite easy to tour around the facility. The building is very accessible for people who might require wheelchairs too. The variety of butterflies and birds is quite astounding. I really enjoyed seeing the Nicobar pigeons. I’d recommend the butterfly conservatory for people who might be on a date, also if you’re single it’s a lovely place to visit too.

I recently went to a wedding at the Butterfly Conservation in Cambridge, and it was such a unique and beautiful venue. Being surrounded by butterflies and lush greenery made the whole day feel magical and intimate. It’s such a peaceful setting — perfect for a wedding which is what I was there for. The staff were kind and helpful, and everything felt really well taken care of. It was such a special experience, and I can’t think of a more memorable place to celebrate a wedding.
Marcin M — Google review
Such a beautiful and relaxing place to visit! The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory feels like stepping into a tropical paradise right in the middle of the city. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by warm air, lush greenery, and butterflies flying all around you – some might even land on you if you’re lucky! 🦋 It’s not just butterflies either – there are little birds, fish ponds, and some really unique insects to see in the side displays. The whole place is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and happy to answer questions. It’s a great spot for kids (they get so excited when a butterfly sits on them!) but also really peaceful for adults who just want to enjoy nature and take photos. You don’t need a ton of time to go through, but it’s such a calming and refreshing experience that you’ll want to stay longer. Definitely recommend this place for families, couples, or anyone looking for something different and relaxing to do in the Cambridge/Kitchener-Waterloo area.
Dr A — Google review
I had a pleasant overall experience, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the visit enjoyable. The pricing seemed fair, but it did feel a little less worthwhile because of the limited space and the relatively small variety of species available to see. The place itself is quite compact, so it’s best to visit during quieter times. If it gets crowded, the area can feel congested and a bit overwhelming. There are lots of butterflies, although most of them are of the same species, which reduces some of the excitement. Other than butterflies, there are only about ten different types of creatures to observe. There is also a cafeteria on-site, but the menu options are limited, so don’t expect too much variety in food choices.
K C — Google review
This will be such a great place for family with kids, or couples. Lovely garden with tons of butterflies surrounding, and if you take a little peak in the bushes, you might spot some little birds under. Me and my friends spent at least 2 hours there, just in an awe.
Nghi ( — Google review
This is a great place to learn about the life cycle of butterflies and admire them closely. My visit last weekend was my third time around. There is no extra cost for parking and generally, I get the feeling that I was able to see more butterflies than the other version in Niagara Falls. The staff is very friendly and enjoy interacting with those visiting this location.

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

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

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

The resort provides various accommodation options, including petite pod cabins for two, luxurious Wilderness Suites for four, and a spacious 4-bedroom log cabin. Guests can enjoy activities such as zip-lining, biking, hiking, wetlands tours, apiary tours, and stargazing at the night-sky observatory.
An excellent experience. The Wilderness suites were well equipped and cozy. I was a bit surprised how close together they were - It didn't really impact our experience, but be aware that your neighbors are going to be close. The restaurant was exceptional with a great menu and super attentive and personable servers. The local beers were also a highlight.

We stayed at the deluxe pod for 2 nights, and overall, it was a great experience! The pods were cozy, and we really appreciated that firewood was provided at no cost - it made the evenings extra relaxing. The property is beautiful, with over 90 km of trails for walking or biking, and there’s a winery right across the street. There are plenty of adventure activities available at an extra cost. Although we felt that they are a bit overpriced (biking, kayaking, zip line, spa, etc) . The food at the Marsh View Patio was fantastic - we had the braised ribs and a salad, and both were absolutely delicious! One thing to note: if you’re traveling with babies or young kids, there isn’t much in terms of activities for them like playground. Overall, a wonderful spot for couples or adults with older kids looking for outdoor adventures and relaxation!

Fantastic spot - totally exceeded expectations - the website does not do justice to how great it is. The overnight units (cabins and yurts) are well designed, clean and equipped including bed warming pads for the autumn time.

We had a wonderful time at Long Point Eco Adventure's Park. We stayed at #15. & We asked for a wheelchair accessible ramp and it was more then our expectations. The ramp just wasn't a aluminium pull out ramp but a strong wooden ramp that was easy to move. The beds where so clean and the bathroom. Lovely to see fresh towels and bedding. Plenty of space to walk around in the tent with an adult walker. You may need to close the walker a little to walk in the bathroom but it's not difficult at all. It's so nice they accommodate people who use a wheelchair. The walkway to the tent from the car isn't very far especially if your in #15. Monday July 28 -Thursday July 31 are the dates we stayed. It was such a wonderful experience to get away from the city. Beautiful place to come back to with family and friends I'm definitely recommending this beautiful park to everyone I know.

Nestled in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Long Point Eco-Adventures offers immersive eco tours through the scenic Turkey Point Marsh and Carolinian forest.

We also had lunch at Marshview afterwards. Excellent food, atmosphere and view.

Here is such a hidden-gem place where you find a lot of amusement like zipline, stargazing, hiking, kayaking, ax throwing, you name it. Overall, it could worth five stars. But, program cancellation on-site without earlier notification and full refund but leaving credits on your account instead makes a lot of frustration. Personally, I don't mind making another trip, but just feeling totally unsatisfied with the way of their business practices.

Canada Life Place

Arena
Concerts & Shows
Budweiser Gardens in London, Ontario is a versatile venue that hosts a variety of events including sports games, concerts, and family shows. It is home to the London Knights and the London Lightning. The arena provides comfortable seating with good sight lines and high-quality sound for concerts. While parking can be a bit challenging, the overall experience at Budweiser Gardens is enjoyable with easy entry points and wheelchair access. Arriving early allows visitors to explore nearby dining options before catching an event.
Canada Life Place (formerly Budweiser Gardens) is a solid venue in downtown London, Ontario. It’s smaller than Toronto arenas, which makes it easier to get in and out, and the views are good from almost every seat. The steep seating helps you see over the crowd, even when people are standing.    The arena hosts a mix of concerts, sports, and family events. Recent shows include Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, and Sarah McLachlan. It’s also home to the London Knights hockey team, who have a strong local following.   One downside is the sound quality—some say it’s too loud and muddy. Bringing earplugs might help.  Ticketing can be tricky. It’s a cashless venue, and tickets may not show up in the regular Ticketmaster app. Using Google Wallet or the London-specific site is your best bet.  Overall, it’s a convenient place to catch a show without the hassle of bigger city venues.

Have attended this place for various things. The most common and popular one is a good old Knights game. Then who can forget the London Lightning games. So much fun and interaction. Great for the kids. Too bad they don’t exist anymore. I’ve been for private basketball games, which is nice to play on a full size court with a black hallow background. I’ve also been for the good for the Harlem Globetrotters which is a world of fun. Last but not least, I’ve been for some concerts. And who doesn’t like concerts. But the most memorable of them all which didn’t happen inside the arena but just outside it on Dundas street, was Jurassic Park and the Raptors championship gatherings. I have lots of great memories and pictures/videos somewhere and I’ll post them when I find them. But yeah, never a bad time going here. And the way to do that is set no expectations, and live in the moment, then you won’t be upset about the outcome which you can’t control. Your level of enjoyment you can control a big part of it. So yeah, any chance I get to go to Canada Life Place (former Budweiser Gardens).

The Blue Water Bridge is a stunning architectural marvel that connects Sarnia to the United States, offering breathtaking views of the sky-blue water and beautiful waterfront. This border community provides easy access to major markets in both Canada and the U.S., making it an ideal destination for travelers. The bridge itself may not be as visually striking as others, but its functionality and efficiency make it a popular choice for crossing between the two countries.
It is a sight to see! With a raging river below and tons of boats, working their way up that river to escape into Lake Huron. There is a fantastic trail leading down the waterfront, lots going on with the park beside the trail and food trucks, etc.

Beautiful atmosphere in and around the Blue Water Bridge! The people are smiley and friendly! The food vendors are awesome! The current in the river under the bridge is VERY STRONG, I personally wouldn’t want to swim here, but better swimmers than me do!

Blue water bridge, heading to Sarnia from Port Huron. This is my favorite border to travel of the two here in Michigan I’ve been to so far, ambassador and blue water. I think there’s typically less traffic, the border workers are a bit nicer and I think the bridge is a little nicer too. I love taking this way and heading up to London.

The Mall at Partridge Creek

Shopping mall
Shopping
Relaxed, open-air shopping center featuring brand-name retailers, restaurants & a multiplex cinema.
I had a fantastic experience at the B12 Store in Partridge Creek. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the benefits of their products, making me feel comfortable and informed. The store was clean, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. I appreciated the professional service and the quality of the supplements offered. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area and looking to boost your wellness routine!​

I don’t really like going here, and im convinced most other residents of Clinton Township don’t like going here either, and you probably like it more because you aren’t from here. But now with Lakeside gone, this is like the only option and so now it’s 10% better than it was before. My complaints come largely from the fact that this is an outdoor mall in a state which should not have an outdoor mall. Coming to this mall in the winter or fall isn’t a very fun experience the way it is during the summer. I think it’s unnecessary to have an outdoor version of sommerset in what I call a “workers town” because, we are mostly working class residents that commute to surrounding cities. Very few of us actually afford to shop here regularly. Beautiful mall, I enjoy coming here to eat and go to the movies but that’s really about it. I suppose that’s the con when it comes to living in a township that props up big business and punishes the small ones that do exist here.

Beautiful, and well kept. A unique mall experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for year-round entertainment, great shopping and dining. Sola Salons is beautiful. A one stop shop for all of your hair/beauty needs. This mall is safe and secure 24/7.

Point Pelee National Park

Mentioned on 
47 lists 
National park
Nature & Parks
Point Pelee National Park, located in Leamington, is a compact yet diverse park offering bird and butterfly watching opportunities along with sandy beaches. Situated on the 42nd parallel, it provides a habitat for migratory birds and various wildlife. The park features freshwater marshes, woodland areas, lookout tower, and boardwalk over the marsh. It's an ideal destination for nature lovers seeking to explore the southernmost part of mainland Canada.
This park has something in every season and weather. The tip looks different every time we visit so it gives a new experience each time. We came when it was minus 20, incredibly windy at the tip but forest hike was fine. They were offering hot chocolate at visitor centre. Outside the centre, the fire pit was going with an option to roast marshmallows. Very thoughtful. We saw a bald eagle. The park looked like a winter wonderland.
Martina C — Google review
Point Pelee National Park is a beautiful gem! The park offers stunning landscapes, from the wetlands to the forest trails, and the views at the point are incredible. I especially loved the birdwatching opportunities, as the park is a prime spot for migratory birds. The trails are well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and informative. The visitor center is a nice touch, with helpful exhibits and a small gift shop. Overall, it’s a peaceful and scenic park that’s definitely worth a visit, especially if you love nature and wildlife. Would highly recommend!

As the southernmost point of land in Canada and the country’s smallest national park, this place offers truly unique scenery. You can enjoy the views by hiking or cycling. There’s a free shuttle to the southernmost point, but you can also choose to walk there. If you visit during cooler weather, make sure to dress warmly as the winds can be strong. In the summer, you can fully enjoy the sunshine。

Beautiful, easily accessible national park which should not be missed if you are in southern Ontario. We were there in early October 2024, and there were little to no crowds. There is a free shuttle from the visitor center to the point trailhead, and the hike to the point is very manageable, even for someone like me who walks with a cane. The scenery is quite stunning. Overall, a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our fall break.
Roger J — Google review
The park has lots of things to do, bike, hike, kayak, swim, camp, or just enjoy the beautiful vistas. It is not super large so we were able to do a lot in just one day, the northwest beach was great for relaxing, sandy, no waves and modest incline so it was perfect for throwing a frisbee and a good long swim. Parking, picnic tables and washrooms were all nearby and clean. No reservation is needed for day use, just pay the parking fee (17.50 cad per car) we visited on a Sunday and it was not crowded at all, the only crowded part was the tip, the line for the shuttle that takes you there may get long but it runs every 15-20 minutes so you may wait have to wait on line depending on the time of day or you could spend that time walking there instead.

I love this place❤️❤️. It was amazing to walk on the shore and explore the trails. The parking lot closes to the tip will only operate in off season. So during the summer it’s 30mins walk one way from the parking lot next to visiting centres. It’s really calm and sereine place. As usual spotted some poisonous ivy as well during the walk. The lookout is currently under construction. The one side of the shore is calm and the other side is with huge waves literally feel like an ocean. Must visit. Restroom available at visitor centre.

Amazing experience! We went to the national park on a cold February weekend, and the whole park was like a big ice rink! Despite falling multiple times and having bruises all over our bodies, the experience was so unique! The weather was cold, especially when walking on the tip. The trail was a big piece of ice, and the water was completely frozen. The campsite office staff were super helpful and so nice! How they provided all the information and were so kind in such weather was actually heartwarming! The toilets were spotless despite the mud and snow outside. The oTentiks were super clean as well. We stayed at oTentik number 9, which had a gas-operated heater (God bless the National Park!) and a very good grill. It also had plugs and electricity, which was different from the rest of the oTentiks we stayed in. Overall, such a beautiful experience and stay!

We love this place. So much to do if that's what you're interested in. We brought our own kayaks and launched them at the rental facility. The launch dock is extremely easy to use. Exploring the marsh from the water was amazing. Came face to face (within a meter) with my first beaver. Once you boat to the other side of the marsh you access another beach on lake Erie. There were no other people in sight. It was super sunny and very hot. Wear a hat and lots of sunscreen.

We were there on July 6th and the mall’s hallways were very warm. To cool down you had to enter a store, but even then some stores were not very cold. We ate at the Shake Shack for lunch. A lot of high end stores on one side of the collection and then you take the skywalk to the other side to lower end stores. It depends on which garage you enter and there is valet parking.

Great exhibit in the North wing celebrating Detroit! It features over 100 artifacts showcasing Detroit's history, including sports memorabilia, a Marc Bauer dress worn by Aretha Franklin, a Boblo Island bumper car, and a refurbished Tiger Stadium sign. Over in the South wing we stopped at Louis Vuitton and my husband surprised me with a bag he picked out. The gal helping us weaved this gorgeous scarf around the handle…stunning! And I am so impressed by my hubby’s choice! Happy 33rd anniversary to us❤️! I had bought him Oofos sandals which really are pretty amazing but not quite the same level 😂😂😂 The entire mall was packed—felt like the holidays, curious to see what crowds the actual holidays bring! So many amazing shops. My top picks: LV, Tommy Bahama (for men), Aritzia, Reformation, Joe Malone, Garage and Alter’d State (for my daughter). But really so many great options and different price points.
Monica T — Google review
Somerset Collection is definitely worth checking out. It’s one of the nicest malls around—super clean, modern, and full of both high-end and popular stores. You’ve got luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Chanel, but also favorites like Apple, Zara, and Lululemon. There’s a great mix, so whether you’re window shopping or ready to splurge, there’s something for everyone. The mall is split into two sides—North and South—and they’re connected by a fancy skywalk over Big Beaver Road, which is actually kind of cool to walk through. It feels upscale but not too snobby. There’s plenty of places to grab a bite too, from quick food court options to sit-down spots like Shake Shack or Capital Grille. Parking can get a little busy during peak hours, especially on weekends or around the holidays, but valet is available if you're in a rush. The seasonal decorations are always really well done, and it’s a fun place to just hang out, especially when the weather’s not great. Overall, Somerset Collection is one of the best malls in Michigan—great atmosphere, great shopping, and a little something for everyone.
Brenda B — Google review
Somerset Collection is hands down one of the best shopping destinations in Michigan. The atmosphere is clean, upscale, and elegant without being overwhelming. Whether you’re just window shopping or on the hunt for something special, there’s a wide mix of high-end brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci, as well as more accessible stores like Zara and Lululemon. One of my favorite features is the skywalk that connects the two buildings — it’s unique and makes navigating between the luxury and more mainstream sections seamless. The mall is never too crowded, and the overall vibe is calm and pleasant, which makes the shopping experience even better. The food options are decent — the Peacock Cafes offer a few solid choices, though I wouldn’t say it’s the main draw. I do appreciate the valet parking and how clean everything is, including the restrooms. If you’re into fashion or just want to enjoy a polished retail experience, Somerset Collection is worth the trip.

Somerset Mall exceeded my expectations during my recent visit. The layout is incredibly sleek and easy to navigate, and the glass skywalk connecting the two sections of the mall was a standout feature. It added a touch of elegance and made moving between stores a pleasant experience. I was impressed by the variety of stores—there’s something for everyone, whether you’re after luxury brands or more casual shopping. I found the atmosphere to be welcoming, and despite the number of shoppers, it never felt overwhelmingly crowded. The staff in every store I visited were attentive and friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The dining options were also fantastic. After shopping, I had a great meal without having to leave the mall, which made the day feel seamless. All in all, Somerset Mall is a must-visit for anyone looking for a top-notch shopping experience.
Louie S — Google review
Probably one of the best malls in the state but that’s not saying much. It’s big and pretty but the store selections aren’t very diverse, you have to hunt around for the Directories and the bathrooms, and the more popular stores like Zara and Sephora are so understaffed- you’ll be waiting in long lines and fighting for parking spots.

Reasons why it's five stars: • The aquarium, we'll taken care of aquatic life. Clean, free, and informative. • Plant life, the green houses are beautiful well taken care of. I believe it is all volunteer based so that is even nicer. • I didn't use the bathrooms but just like any public bathrooms, I'm sure they are a hit or a miss. • Lots of walking, bike riding, picnic areas. Pretty buildings, ponds, and nature. Worth a check out. Will go again!

The first time I came to the DIA I was suprised to see they had a native American wing. Michigan is home to a few tribes. Was bummed to see nothing about the local tribes there. I asked a docent " you have so many local tribes one being the largest remaining tribe in the united states and there is no mention of them " is there some reason why? I know most museums repatriated a lot so injust said i think your really missing out on showcasing the art of the ojiibwe the rest of the annishinabeeg tribes. Some ofntheor art and embroidery is stunning. That was in 2023. 2025 im on public radio and I hear your opening an exhibit of a contemporary indigenous ojibwe artist? Wow. That's really cool im impressed. I love the DIA but now I really dig ya! Keep on getting better and giving me good reasons to come in. By the way their open sketch is way cool! Thank you DIA your one of a thousand reasons ill never move out of this city!

Beautiful building filled with great art and historic artifacts. Only spent 3 hours in there so I didn't get the chance To explore the whole thing, it's definitely worth another trip or 2 to really take everything in. The Cafe was super busy by the time I got hungry so I skipped it but it looks like a nice relaxing courtyard to take a break in if you're planning on spending the whole day there. The Diego Rivera mural is truly a masterpiece. Shout out the lovely Michelle at the front desk!!!

It was a dream of mine to visit this museum one day. I finally got the opportunity while visiting the University of Michigan and had some hours to kill while waiting for my flight. The access was very quick and the staff gladly took out carry on luggage and bags at the cost check so we could visit the place, something other museums don’t usually do. The place was even more magnificent than I imagined and crowds were light on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The store is also worth noting, since I collect museum catalogues I purchased one and was pleasantly surprised by the affordable prices, compared to New York or Paris, where you can find world-class museums such as this one.

I was super impressed by the museum’s wide-ranging collection—there’s so much to see! The mural in the central room really stood out. Definitely recommend listening to the guided tour for that part—it’s fascinating. The museum also has a mix of functional spaces with different styles and programs, which keeps things interesting. When you need a break, don’t miss the courtyard café—it’s one of the best I’ve seen in any museum and makes you want to linger. We happened to visit on a weekend when they were hosting a Taiwan tea culture lecture and tasting. What an incredible experience! Not only did we learn a lot about Taiwan’s rich tea traditions, but we also got to enjoy some truly amazing teas. Another highlight is the building itself. The size feels just right—not overwhelming, not underwhelming. It’s easy to navigate and still offers plenty of exhibition space.

If limited on time I'd start on floor 2, then do floor 3, then 1. Great vibes! 20$ per person. Wayne County residents are free with ID. Bought tickets there. Parking was 8 $ nearby.

Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Comerica Park, the vibrant home of the Detroit Tigers since 2000, is a must-visit destination for baseball fans and food lovers alike. Nestled in Downtown Detroit, right across from the iconic Fox Theatre, this stadium boasts unique features like impressive tiger statues and a charming 50-foot Ferris wheel. The diverse food court offers an array of delicious options—from classic Detroit-style pizza to mouthwatering hamburgers and international flavors that cater to every palate.
First time at this stadium. We paid the extra for super close parking right in front of the stadium as we had a carload. Man was that worth it! 1 minute walk into the park and no traffic leaving. Bit of advice is to make sure you don’t errantly stand in the bag check line if you have no bag! Walked straight in with almost no waiting. Chili cheese fries were amazing! View was great and the outfielder kept throwing practice balls to kids between innings. My son loved the experience. Would def recommend it.

Loved experiencing a baseball game here. Lots of restaurants and things to see around the park and less than a 10 minute drive to the tunnel if you're coming from Canada. The park itself had so many neat features from the noteworthy tiger statues to the carousel right in the middle of the food court. Seats were great and reasonably priced. We'll definitely be coming back for a ball game here.

Tigers game!! Comerica Park is a great place to take in a baseball game with something for everyone. There is a carousel and Ferris wheel for kids and those young at heart. There are plenty of bars for the over 21 crowd. It is an airy stadium that managed to stay cool in the shade despite a very warm Detroit day. Sight lines are great from every seat. They have a newer type of netting for fan protection that is more transparent and less obstructive of viewing the game. 100% recommend!

Hadn't been in about 3 years and my bf had never been! The baseball ferris wheel was a lot of fun at only 2 dollars! I wish it had a better view / view of the field ideally. There's so much to do outside of watching the game. Come prepared to over spend on food. We payed 6 dollars for bottled water. We went on August 23rd. The tigers played against the KC royals and won 4-2! Great game to watch! Go tigers!!!!🐯

Comerica Park truly stands out as one of the best ballparks in the country, offering an incredible experience from the moment you arrive. Getting in and out of the park is remarkably easy, with clear signage and efficient security checks that keep lines moving smoothly. Once inside, navigating the wide, open concourses to find your seats is a breeze, even for first-time visitors. The design of the park ensures that almost every seat offers fantastic views of the action, whether you're behind home plate or in the outfield. It's a truly fan-friendly environment that makes attending a game a stress-free and enjoyable outing. But what truly elevates Comerica Park is its culinary scene. Forget typical ballpark fare; here, the concessions are a gourmet delight! You'll find an impressive array of options, from local Detroit favorites like National Coney Island and Slows Bar BQ, offering delicious sandwiches and mac & cheese, to fresh Smashburgers and a variety of Mediterranean selections. The craft beer selection is equally impressive, featuring a fantastic range of local Michigan brews alongside popular national brands. Whether you're craving a classic hot dog or a more elevated dining experience, Comerica Park has something to satisfy every palate, making it a true foodie destination within the world of baseball stadiums.

Greenfield Village

Museum
Historical landmark
Greenfield Village is a vast outdoor museum established by Henry Ford, showcasing artifacts and residences of notable Americans. It is often referred to as "America's 1st Theme Park," offering an immersive experience in a carefully recreated late 1800s American village. The village features activities such as riding steam locomotive-pulled trains, hand-carved carousels, and viewing historical mechanical animatronics.
History, hard work, forward thinking, innovative, educational, worth every penny... GO! Henry Ford had a vision and was joined but other brilliant people that shared their vision. Truly, it takes a full day to see everything quickly. Webster's home, Frost's home, and many other iconic figures homes have been moved to this location to be preserved in time. The people on grounds are knowledgeable, helpful, and informative. As an educator, I will take my grandchildren there someday. So neat as you literally step into a time warp!! Tremendous opportunity to stimulate young minds.

Today we were at Greenfield village for the Halloween evening dinner, train ride etc. So todays dinner was cancelled dur to a poweroutage. Some construction crews cut their power supply and it did not come back on until 4 pm. We were really excited to tey the dinner and was sad it was cancelled however we were told they were already working on refunds for the dinner portion of the ticket. We did the train ride and that was fun. The halloween decoration were a bit cheesy and they no longer give out candy. I guess they stopped doing this during covid. They really need to bring it back. They did have several food and drink trucks and sold alcohol; beer and wine. I did not see any liquor. The whole event was relatively expensive but thete were very few activities overall. However there was a large area that was more like a flea market where you could buy alll kinds of things. I kind of felt that i paid to goto a flea market and that the rest was just decorations. If you go, i would definitely go when dark - after 715 pm. Please bring back the trick or treating....

I've been coming here since I was a child. The whole village experience has been greatly enhanced with costumed guides, more rides (love the Model T rides), food choices and seasonal experiences. There are so many fun things to do in every season- something for everyone. So thrilled with Ford 's vision to preserve history so we can continue to learn from it and enjoy for decades to come.

This is definitely one of the best outdoor museums in the country. Lots of historic buildings, cars, trains and things to do. You can check out Thomas Edison's Menlo park, blacksmith demonstrations, other historic demonstrations, but by far the best thing to do is to ride the historic steam engine powered train and also the original model t cars. You really do feel like you are in the early 1900s and riding in a real historic 1914 Ford Model T is awesome. It's about a 10-minute ride and the driver explains the history and you really feel like you are in 1920. Everything is period correct including the cars, the buildings, the street lights, and even the yellow stop signs before they were required to be red. You can easily spend hours checking out all of the buildings, photographing the old cars and trains and still not see everything in one day.

They offered a shuttle service before and after which was great for my grandpa. Paid the extra $5 each for a super cringey train ride ANDS I FREAKING LOVED IT! perfect amount of laughter for the price. It was gaudy, out of pocket, and the perfect way to end a spooky night. One negative thing is that there is A LOT of walking. We’ll rent a scooter for my grandpa next year.

Greenfield Village is like my Disney World. We are members so we support an amazing place and have a safe, fun, educational place to take our grandkids and friends. I would urge anyone to visit at least once and make sure you ride in a Model T, have frozen custard, ride the over 100 year old carousel and see where Henry Ford was born and Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb.

Greenfield Village is a nice step back in time thanks to Henry Ford and his vision to preserve history. The Hallowe’en and Holiday Nights events are wonderful. Great family friendly place to spend some time.

We visited on a Tuesday morning with minimal crowds. (mostly a few moms/strollers and a couple of small school groups) There was no waiting to ride the train, T-Model car or horse carriage rides. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and eager to share the history of the buildings and artifacts. The bathrooms were clean. Some of the food vendors were closed for the season as we visited in September. The highlight of our day was eating lunch in a candle lite inn with recipes from 1850. My husband had a whisky cocktail, bacon wrapped pork with new potatoes and peach pie. I had lemonade, tomato soup and blueberry pie. Both meals included pickles, breads, butter and blackberry jam all served in pottery. We loved the experience!

Museum
Historical landmark
The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation in Dearborn, Michigan is a sprawling 250-acre space that offers a comprehensive look at American life and innovation. The museum features an impressive collection of exhibits showcasing the ingenuity and impact of American inventors and visionaries. Visitors can explore iconic artifacts such as the Rosa Parks bus, JFK's limousine, and the world's most accurate replica of the Wright brothers' Flyer.
I'm from Chicago, home to some world class, and world famous museums. The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation and Greenfield Village is hands down the best museum I have been to in my life. We spent 3 full days there over two separate trips, and still haven't finished seeing it all!!! We'll be going back again in the spring to finish it up. The place can only be described as "incredible". An amazing, and eclectic collection of artifacts from American history that will grab your attention at every turn. Greenfield Village is largely a collection of buildings of historical significance that were disassembled where they originally stood across America, and painstakingly reassembled on the grounds of Greenfield. Simply amazing. I highly recommend buying a membership if you plan to attend more than one day. Also plan to see all giant screen movies (you won't be sorry) , and definitely go on the Rouge Factory Tour. It's AMAZING!!! OH YES, and take a MODEL T ride in Greenfield Village! Worth the wait!

It's been a long time since I been there. Was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is a lot to take in. Not so many hands on stuff for kids tho. If you have a hard standing or walking a long time there are benches everywhere. Everything is very detailed and descriptive. I would go back in the futer. If you are considering this for a family trip or if you are coming in from out of state I highly recommend coming here and checking out it. Also if you want something like a novilty they have machines that make wax molds of cars etc.

A must-visit when you’re in Michigan! 🙌 This place showcases the incredible evolution of American innovation — from transportation to everyday design. 🚗🚂✨ You’ll find everything from cars, buses, and heavy machinery to beautifully crafted household objects that make you stop and say wow. A true journey through modern ingenuity and creativity!

I could have spent five or six hours here. There is so much going on from presidential cars to race cars, the bus Rosa Parks was on to the chair Lincoln was shot in. This is truly a museum of innovation, not just about Ford. If we would have had time I would have spent the time to go to the Ford Rouge plant that assembles Ford F-150s. That takes about two hours. Nearby you have the race car hall of fame. Outside of having a ton of information its just a very elegant building. Its classy enough to be an art museum and some of these pieces are definitely that. Its a must stop in Detroit.

We went to the Henry Ford Museum on my birthday and it was a great experience. Going in, I thought my wife would be bored from it, but she absolutely loved it. There were items from different eras of Americana. We decided on doing the indoor museum upon the threat of rain. I was thinking we'd other be there for a couple hours at most, as we don't dive deep into reading everything, but we literally left at closing. There was JFK's car, trains, old machinery, furniture, Abraham Lincoln's chair, and the actual bus that Rosa Parks sat on. Sitting in her seat, I reflected on how she must have felt. We learned so much. We also ate at the diner that was near the entrance. It was very affordable. I've been here 20 yesrs ago with my father and so much has changed and added. We can't wait to come back for the outdoor museum.
Chris — Google review
We absolutely love this place! There is something for everyone. They have the museum located indoors that has many great exhibits. Lots of hands on activities for kids. There’s also special events that come to the museum. In addition to the museum there’s the outside village (does require additional ticket) that you can walk around. I highly recommend getting a ride pass so you can ride all of the rides (train, carousel, model T) without worrying to buy additional tickets! Custard is a must!!

This is a must to visit museum. So much historic items. Plan to be here all day. There are clean restrooms, restaurants to eat at and easy to walk around. Fun Fun Fun. You will enjoy every turn you make. Henry Ford did things awesome when.it comes to preserving historic items.

Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial

Mentioned on 
28 lists 
Memorial park
Sights & Landmarks
Perry's Victory & International Peace Memorial is a must-visit attraction on South Bass Island. The 352-ft.-tall column commemorates the Battle of Lake Erie and offers breathtaking views from its observation deck. Visitors can enjoy historical reenactments and lessons from park rangers, gaining insights into the War of 1812. The memorial serves as a tribute to those who fought in the battle and promotes peace among the US, UK, and Canada.
This is a must visit if you head to Put-in-Bay for any amount of time. In addition to the monument being an absolute marvel, the amount of history here is incredible. The park rangers are incredibly knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you have. To top it off, six of us got to ride the elevator to the observation deck for around $30 or so. Go and enjoy.

In summer visiting put-in bay feels even better than any of the other very famous places across all of America. Lovely island, beautiful lake all around, awesome food choices in the island and lots of activities.
Debsankar D — Google review
This site was much more than I expected. I had no idea that it is the 3rd tallest monument in the country. The visitor center is quite nice with lots of displays providing background on Perry and his role in the War of 1812. The grounds are well kept and the monument itself is impressive. Going up to the observation deck was fun and the views of Put in Bay island were stunning. Unfortunately the monument is closing soon for major and long lasting restoration.
Kelly R — Google review
The park is small, but well worth the boat ride out to see it. My kids loved the boat ride, taking the elevator up the tower, exploring the top of the monument, and completing the Junior Ranger activity book. The visitor center has a small museum with lots of information and a small store. There was also an art activity happening but we did not attend. It was a fun day, despite the rain.

We really had a great time visiting Perry's Memorial. Half the fun is getting there. Its only open for part of the year because the island of Put-In-Bay basically closes for the winter months. The Island is charming, full of great places to eat. The memorial itself is informative, and the views stunning!

Wonderful visitor center(opens 10am, closes 5pm) with lots of information about the war of 1812 and how the monument was built. This is a seasonal National Monument so opens early May and closes end of September. Buy your tickets to go to the top of the monument at the visitor center. Numerous types of park passes can be purchased here too. 2026 and 2027 the monument will be closed for renovation but enjoy the grounds and visitor center will still be open!

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Cedar Point is a vast amusement park featuring an array of water slides, thrilling rides, roller coasters, and entertainment options. The Cedar Point Museum provides an intriguing look into the history of this renowned park, showcasing its evolution from a lakeside resort to a globally recognized entertainment destination. Visitors can explore original roller coaster models and learn about the park's legacy.
Cedar Point is absolutely amazing! The rides are packed with fun and thrills from start to finish it truly lives up to its reputation as the roller coaster capital. We went during Halloweekends, and that took the experience to a whole new level. The park was covered in spooky Halloween décor, with themed attractions and special activities that made the atmosphere even more exciting. Between the coasters, the seasonal events, and everything else the park has to offer, one day just isn’t enough you’ll definitely want more time to experience it all!
Nijanand S — Google review
Absolutely amazing amusement park! The roller coasters here are top notch and from online info they are consistently ranked top in the country! There are also other fun rides like a 300 foot tall swing ride, a gondola down the middle of the park, and a good amount of little kids rides. There is also an indoor arcade area. Any roller coaster enthusiast will love this park, but families will have fun too! The food is also pretty good, with good portions, and the meal plan is definitely worth it!
Matthew Z — Google review
I came this year for hallo weekends. The best day of all was actually Halloween. The crowds were low and we were able to get on all the rides very quickly. A few rides like the millennium we are able to get right back on as soon as we got off. The amount of effort put into decorating the park is amazing. It really does give you a spooky fall natural vibe. The haunted houses are a lot of fun too. The best places to eat in my opinion are the pavilion and the barbecue place. The mixed drinks are way too sugary and not enough alcohol though. I recommend finding a bar that serves liquor and doing a shot. We got tequila shots at the one place in the pioneer village area and they were basically like doubles. If your time is limited it's a busy day you may want to invest in a fast pass. On a busy day you can wait up to 2 hours for some of these roller coasters. I also visited in the summer. The water park there is pretty nice. They have some water slides a lazy river and a nice beach. Cedar point is definitely the premier roller coaster destination in North America. I love the top thrill 2, The Magnum, the millennium, and really most of the other roller coasters there. If you're staying over I recommend sawmill Creek It is a resort like atmosphere there and they have two pools and hot tubs. I haven't stayed at hotel breakers but I have stayed at castaway Bay and I don't like those rooms there. They remind me of prison cells. Overall I definitely recommend visiting cedar point if you never have. It is in a great location near the Lake Erie Islands and a lot of other fun things that you can do.
Scott E — Google review
Absolutely one of the best amusement parks in the world without a question. I try to make it here at least once a year and especially during the Halloween season because I love seeing everything all decked out. Waits for rides can get long, so I definitely recommend fast pass, or packing your patience and something to do in line. If the weather is bad there isn't a ton inside to do which is a bummer.
Eliott S — Google review
I drove 2.5 hours from Michigan to check out Cedar Point’s Halloweekends, and while the event itself was fun, there were definitely some frustrating parts. Parking was chaotic and poorly managed, and the wait times for rides and haunted houses were painfully long. Fast Lane passes were available, but at over $400 for two people, it felt way too expensive just to skip the lines. That said, the rides were awesome once we finally got on — especially at night with the Halloween atmosphere — and the food was actually really good. The park was decked out in spooky decor, with fog, lights, and scare actors creating a great vibe. Overall, it was a fun experience, but between the long drive, rough parking, and high costs, it wasn’t quite as smooth or worth it as I hoped.

Hallow Weekends at Cedar Point are always so much fun. The Conjuring Haunted House was a really cool touch this year! Great roller coasters, all kinds of good food. I really like this theme park
Karin T — Google review
First time visiting. I went for the roller coasters and was not disappointed. Food was a lot better than I was expecting. I think there needs to be more drink stations, it takes way too long to get a drink most of the time. Parking was good, but I did arrive early. Early entry doesn't get you much because all the coasters that are open immediately have long lines and fast lane doesn't open early.
Matt G — Google review
We went for Halloweekends on Nov. 1st. It was my kids (ages 8 and 9) first experience with Halloweekends, and I myself haven't been to Halloweekends since I was a kid. We stayed until 12am when they close. I will start with the NEGATIVE first: took 3 stars bc it wasn't scary like at all. There were a lot of parts of the park that had no creepy music playing so it didn't feel very Halloweeny and there's weren't any scary dressed up people walking around unless you were in the Frontier Town part of the park and even then there was like only 5 ppl walking around. Anything scary you just weren't allowed to enter unless you paid A LOT of money for in advance. Family with multiple kids just can't afford that. So the kids and I were pretty disappointed they couldn't go into ANY attraction, no corn maze, no haunted houses eventhough we are Gold Pass holders. They're going to lose money this coming year if they go that again I think. The Positive: We still had a great time as the kids are still young. The bands were absolutely AMAZING!! Honestly that was what really made the visit so magical. The decorations were so great too! Wait time wasn't horrible and weather was nice. PLEASE make it scarier and ACCESSIBLE next year. Know your audience. This is Ohio and we don't have money to pay extra when we already spend hundredsss on membership passes. It's messed up.

While our first burger came out uncooked, our waitress Caysh was incredibly attentive, checking on us frequently and quickly arranging for a new, well-done burger. She was fantastic and her genuine smile and willingness to help made all the difference. The classic strawberry shake was a welcome surprise—it was rich and very tasty. We appreciated the great service and delicious food!

Rating Food: 3/5 (The food was okay, but beautiful preparation of the food!) Service: 5/5 (Attention to detail, served with love!) Atmosphere: 5/5 (Beautiful restaurant and great decor!) If you're looking for a great spot to catch a game in Sandusky, Ohio, B-Lux Grill & Bar is definitely worth checking out! With its vibrant atmosphere, it’s a fantastic place to grab a quick bite or enjoy some time at the bar. I was initially drawn in by the stunning food photos displayed around the resort, and I’m really glad I decided to give it a try! The food presentation was impressive, and while the flavors were just okay, there were some standout items. I particularly enjoyed the unique, made-from-scratch burgers. The wings were decent as well, but the care taken in their preparation was evident. Overall, not a bad experience on the food front! What truly set this visit apart was the service. Our server, Robyne, was exceptional—she genuinely made us feel like family! Every time she came to our table, she brought a smile and positive energy. Robyne guided us through the menu seamlessly, and she even made the kids feel special by celebrating their birthday with them. That kind of attentive service really enhances the dining experience! The atmosphere at B-Lux Grill & Bar was also a highlight. The spacious restaurant boasted attractive decor and a lively vibe that complemented the menu perfectly. It was clean, inviting, and perfectly captured the theme of shakes and burgers. Overall, I had a great experience at B-Lux Grill & Bar! It’s a memorable place to enjoy some good food and have a fun time. I would definitely recommend it!

Went here for my partner and i's anniversary and it was AMAZING! Our server, Mel, was really sweet, made sure to check on us every so often, and fixed anything that was wrong. The food and shakes were delicious!! If we came back to Kalahari we're definitely going back to the restaurant!

This was our first visit to Kalahari, and B-Lux Grill & Bar truly exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely incredible, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were lucky to have Robyne as our server—she was exceptional, and we couldn’t have asked for better. Our 4 year old wanted to order her own shake just to get a cherry, Robyne came out after she took our order with a cup of cherries. Although we encountered an issue unrelated to the restaurant, Robyne quickly brought over her manager, Victor, who handled the situation promptly and professionally. Everything was resolved within minutes. Highly impressed!

African Safari Wildlife Park is a large park featuring a variety of African animals, including monkeys and ocelots. Visitors can take self-guided drives through the park, where they are provided with animal feed to interact with the roaming animals. The park also offers walking tours to see smaller animals, as well as opportunities to purchase additional feed. Additionally, there are shows and tours available for visitors to enjoy. It's described as a fun and spontaneous stop that offers an enjoyable experience for all ages.
This place was absolutely amazing. We went here for my birthday and it definitely did not disappoint. All the workers were very helpful and friendly, but one girl who stood out and went above and beyond was an adorable girl named Serena. She made our visit and even took a ton of pictures of me and my girlfriend feeding the giraffes so we could enjoy our experience. Serena deserves a raise!!! We also went through the drive-through safari twice and the indoor sanctuary twice. This place is absolutely worth the money, and we saved a lot buying tickets online. We will certainly be back.

Great little zoo to visit with kids! The selection of animals is nice, the size is just right. A lot of animals are allowed to be fed. I took my kids there, various ages, everyone was happy and excited. We went in the afternoon before they close, and I think the only ones we didn't get to see were tortoises. Walk around and the drive-through took us approximately 2 hours all together. Highly recommend.
Polina S — Google review
This was a great adventure. I'm not sure I would take a really nice car in the drive thru but you might be good. The animals did have our mirrors folded in before we were done. Go when its warm and the giraffes should be out so save some lettuce for the end. The walk through zoo was also very nice. All the employees were friendly. Buy the tickets on line and save a little time and money.
Mark H — Google review
All I can say is wow this place was awesome. We drove through twice just for the experience and the animals had us laughing and screaming the whole way. We also did the walk-through part of the park which I thought was going to be a bit boring, but it too was awesome. Especially the Aviary building. Highly recommend buying the sticks with seeds on them and the birds come right to you and land on your hands and on your should. The staff was also fantastic. We did have to go to the car wash afterwards because we are slobbered so badly but that made it fun. I will do this again during our next visit to Put-in bay. People talk about the price of it and yes, it’s a bit pricey, but when compared to some of the cave and gemstone things out on the island which were totally not worth the cost this place blew them away. The cost helps the upkeep, that bills, and just day-to-day operations. Well worth it.
Thomas Z — Google review
Absolute great time!! Dont take a new car though. Animals will do anything to get to the feeding buckets when in the drive through area. Zoo type area was lots of fun too. Great place for families or even just couples. Took my parents here with my wife and will absolutely come back!
Tommyz T — Google review
Loved it! I highly suggest keeping all windows closed that there isn't a person in the seat, the animals will steal anything they find interesting 😂 Luckily, I had a hesitant little one with me so I only had the front windows open but they come from all sides. They definitely know vehicle= food. We bought the $18 extra food and ran out before we got to the first gate. The highland cattle are VERY persistent, we had to roll up the windows to keep their heads out after throwing food to distract them 😂. The cattle and llamas surround your vehicle making it impossible to move at times. I definitely wanted to bring the alpacas, llamas, and even the rude intrusive highland home with me. They are SO cute! Also just a warning the Highlands bang (unintentionally) up against your vehicle with their horns, and they are messy slobbery eaters 😂, so if you have an option of vehicles to bring, don't bring your best. Also the alpacas like to chew on parts of vehicles, so have plenty of food lol
Jessica D — Google review
drove from michigan and would say it was well worth it!! having such an up close and personal experience with animals you normally don’t get to be that close to was amazing. the food wasn’t astronomically priced and you can go through as many times as you want as long as you have food left. (some of the animals are persistent so i can’t imagine driving through with no food to distract them) **also the walk around zoo was so much fun and it was nice to stretch our legs!!
BrieAnna H — Google review
Was an very nice place maybe back in the day but now it seems alot of the anaimals are missing. Was sad to see that as I thought we would see a good amount of anaimals which is what im use to when going to zoos. The pig looking animal I domt know if they live like that in the wild but I felt bad for him. Some of the anaimals seem lonely and honestly I felt thr price should if been cheaper as there is alot missing. I wouldn't ever go back because it wasnt to my liking but ya know whatever floats your boat.

Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums is a captivating destination that offers a glimpse into the life of the 19th president and his wife, who both resided and are interred at Spiegel Grove. Visitors can explore the stunning estate, which includes an impressive home tour, a well-curated museum filled with original artifacts, and beautifully maintained grounds perfect for leisurely strolls. The house itself boasts over 20,000 square feet of space adorned with remarkable Bierstadt artwork.
This museum is well worth a visit. There is so much history to learn here. The home tour was very informative and gives a lot of insight into the life and times of this family. I guide was a fast talker but very knowledgeable. Could have spent more time here !
Celeste L — Google review
There's no question that the Hayes house and adjacent walks on Spiegel Grove are worthy of a visit, especially if you have any affection for presidential history. The grave is humble, despite the grounds and the property being quite grand. But on my arrival, after driving from Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor, MI (President Ford's Museum/Library), there seemed to be an air of something and someone always out of place, like the man talking into his phone so loudly, on business, that you could hear him anywhere in the grove, including the grave, even as a young girl walked beside him, constantly ignored. Or the other man walking and pumping rap music through headphones as he passed by the grave a few minutes later. It's a public walking area, so it comes with the territory, but it all fed into a larger observation. Because what most gave me pause was our house tour guide, a young man who was clearly (and surprisingly) knowledgeable of the house, the Hayes family, and a wealth of other historically valuable nuggets, but who never once paused to engage with us, to see if we were keeping up, if we had any questions. He spoke a mile-a-minute and checked his phone every time we moved between rooms, hopping through facts like he was in a race to recite a full Wikipedia page before 5pm. At one point, he mentioned that Hayes was the first to host an egg roll at the White House, so I spoke up to mention that Andrew Johnson had actually been the first to do so informally, to which our guide simply deferred to his own belief, insisted he was right, and moved on, prompting me to leave the tour before the second floor. I've been to 25 presidential graves, countless presidential homes, and always appreciate those who give tours with lots of knowledge, as this young man certainly did, but failure to engage with the people on your tour, maybe benefit from or inquire about the knowledge of others, is an unfortunate flaw in this otherwise peculiar marker of worthy history.

Great experience touring the Hayes home and the grounds. Our guide Bill was very knowledgeable and gave great insight to all of the generations of Hayes. The old photos of each room and the authentic updates...amazing experience. You can spend hours here if you tour the museum also.

This has been on our bucket list for awhile and we finally made it there. Tour of the home was very nice and the guides very knowledgeable and friendly. The museum was informative and shows how far our standards have fallen when comparing Presidencies from then and unfortunately now. Those who truly care about our democracy should visit these sites and become more informed as to what real leaders are and then take those lesson to the ballot box.

We have visited all of the US Presidential Libraries and the museum portion was good. However, the Hayes house was very good. Our docent, Sarah, was super! She had a great personality and really knew the details about the house and the people who had lived in it. A few visitors asked questions that Sarah didn't know the answer but she had a tablet that she accessed quickly and supplied the answer. The grounds that surrounds the museum and house are absolutely beautiful and worth the time to walk around them. We spent about an hour and a half to visit the museum, the house tour was about an hour, and to walk around the grounds took about 45 minutes. In our opinion, it's a worth while visit.

This is a great place to visit for anyone in the area, or passing through. The sheer amount of preserved historical items is astonishing. The museum is very well put together. Our tour guide for the residence was very informative, friendly, and kept the tour entertaining. For guests with disabilities, they even restored the elevator so you can see the second floor of the house.

A really fun experience! The people who checked us in were so kind also ❤️ thank you! It’s so full of history for kids and adults. Great mini movie. Definitely worth watching. The ship was awesome. I saw a lot of reviews saying it’s hot on it. But I mean of course it would be it’s a ship in the sun! It was so cool though!! My kids loved it and so did I.

If you want a museum that you can go to from open to close, this is the place. The freighter alone is worth 6 hours alone. The museum is about 3 to 4 hours. There is just so much to see and learn. Being here was worth the trip. The life raft from the Edmund Fitzgerald was really shocking to see as very little had been found when she went down. It's really a nice collection of history of the Great Lakes and learning how important they are to the area.

Shout out to Ellen: Our Edmund Fitzgerald tour guide. Very professional for the theme of the material and very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. All the data that was given, she never forgot the compassionate side of the storie as she stated "let's not forget that we lost 29 people that day." The museum part had some great displays and yes there were noisy kids but kids are noisy. The museum itself was great. Thank you for the 50th anniversary experience of the Fitzgerald

On the last day of our family reunion in Toledo to honor my late father, we discovered the National Museum of the Great Lakes just after lunch nearby. We decided to tour both the Schoonmaker lake barge and then visit the museum next door. After purchasing our tickets, the receptionist advised us to board the Schoonmaker first. I am glad she did since we had only thirty minutes to spare and would have missed out on the barge otherwise. It was our first time on a lake barge and we were impressed by its size, especially knowing it was built in the same era as the Titanic. The scale remains striking even today. Unfortunately, we did not have time to explore the museum itself. We managed a quick stop in the gift shop and also took a few photos by the giant propeller at the entrance. Not seeing the full museum gives us another reason to return on our next visit. We also want to thank the museum for honoring the military with discounted tickets. We greatly appreciated that!

Visited the National Museum of the Great Lakes as part of the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald. We had the tour of the James S. Schoonmaker to start our visit, and our tour guide Tom was tremendous. Fielded many questions and was educated and informed to answer all. Made the tour very digestible and entertaining. Tom was an excellent guide! The museum itself was terrific. Very interactive and wide ranging in its exhibits. We enjoyed our visit greatly and would definitely revisit. Great value, and great for all ages.

The Armstrong Air & Space Museum is a unique orb-shaped museum located in western Ohio, dedicated to inspiring visitors with the history and stories of space exploration, particularly focusing on Neil Armstrong. The museum houses an array of one-of-a-kind artifacts including an Apollo 11 moon rock, Gemini VIII spacecraft, and spacesuits. While there are limited interactive areas for younger children, it's recommended for teens and older visitors who are fascinated by the Apollo missions and lunar landings.
Ohio Pride FTW!! I don't even know where to begin about the nice things of this museum. What a humble, but spectacular mix of aviation - space history on display. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the exhibition. I was moved when I saw a piece of the Wright flyer went to the moon through Neil. I also really enjoyed the art. Thank you.

This place was awesome! It's not big but it is full of information!! Took a couple of hrs. to walk through including a very interesting 30 minute video about half way through the self guided tour. There was a very knowledgeable employee walking around giving information about items throughout the museum. All staff was super friendly. At the end there was a very well stocked gift shop with high priced items. You could get through it a lot quicker but if you're interested in reading about everything then plan on that 2 hrs. If you're flying in as we did, it's about 10mins from the Neil Armstrong Airport.

I love history and we was lucky enough to catch the historian. He shared interesting facts with us. It made it more enjoyable. I am not sure I would take young children. The museum had lots of reading.

Had a great time for $14 each adult while seniors paid $13. The handsome man in the photo was wonderful and informative. All the items displayed had their backstories displayed and they also had a mini theater session were they played the documentary of Neil and Buzz’ journey.

A must-visit museum near Dayton with fascinating NASA artifacts, including a Gemini Space Capsule and Armstrong’s spacesuit. Jeff’s (employee) expertise adds significant value to the experience. His insights enhance the experience with details not found in posted information. Attractions include authentic NASA artifacts like a Gemini Space Capsule, Neil Armstrong’s Gemini spacesuit, NASA AIR plane, Leer Jet, Armstrong’s awards, medals, Russian Space suits and tons of other stuff.

I had such a great time here. I had the privilege of having a worker explain to me the Gemini mission Neil was on, and what a doozy it was. This a fascinating and humbling museum.

Great museum. The staff and volunteer were awesome. So much extra knowledge imparted on us. Wonderful experience and makes me even more grateful for sacrifices many have made in the space program. LOVED that support scientists and physiologists and others were also highlighted in this museum. So many amazing strong women and a time when women really had to break through ceilings. Thank you for all the sharing!
