Small amusement park aimed at younger children offering a vintage atmosphere & old-fashioned rides.
It’s a nice place for a day out with your family. The carousels are for small kids. They can enjoy the magic show here. The beach side walk is wonderful. There are small shops. There are enough parking spaces surrounding the place. People visiting Niagara Falls can keep this in your list if you have small kids.

Run by charity organization so the prices of each ride are dirt cheap - literally 40 cents! It's cute and cozy, really nice place to go with your kids. They have a good variety of rides for kids and ice cream shop and also the sea. A nice little inexpensive family day trip. Plenty of parking too although can get busy. Kids love!!!

This is such a beautiful park and it definitely is underrated. The volunteers are so kind and they make this place feel more welcoming. There was a nice old timey feel to this park that made it feel nostalgic although I had not lived in the time period which this park is based on. The park is also surprisingly dog friendly, they had a box with milk bones and a dog dish with water.

I give it 5 stars all day. if you have little ones, this is the place for you. it's like stepping into the past. all the rides are geared for the kids. the price is great. you will not be disappointed. we will definitely be back.

I love this lighthouse so much ! The view is so stunning here even in the winter time. One of our favorite places to stop by when we stay in Chaumont Bay.
Whitley S — Google review
A quiet and peaceful place with an amazing view. While most of the lighthouse grounds are open to the public, the light itself is off limits, as it is still in active use, though you can peak inside. There is a small visitor center where you can pick up free maps of lighthouses in the area and the fog house is open to the public for viewing. There is a small observation deck where you can look out to the St. Lawrence River and have a clear view of the Canadian side of the river.

Sackets Harbor Battlefield

I was there attending they're 1812 Grand Tactical Weekend. A Charming Town with lots of History packed into it. Famous for its Ship building during that time period. Now the Town totally envelopes the Old Fort that was there in 1812. Lot's of interesting sites to see, with a trail down by the Lake. Plenty of shops and restaurants, plus some great pubs! Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

Nice area to walk around and get a history lesson. Parking was a little confusing, didn’t really see the signs in front of the building until we were walking up.
Karla K — Google review
Picture yourself enjoying this view on a breezy summer afternoon, walking around a cozy harbor. Seagulls flying, sailboats off in the distance, and plenty of space to enjoy your own experiance. Lots of history, the walking path is easy to negotiate, and a variety of parking is available. Truly a Hallmark experiance.

Beautiful park overlooking the harbor. Some historical building and small museum, alas, closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
David M — Google review
We have always loved the charming construction if Sackets Harbor but never took time to explore some of its unique historical sites. We were impressed by the guided walkway that led you on a self guided tour with beautifully detailed maps and signs about the historical facts of each location. There was a "secret" trail down one side that led to a hidden rocky beach and 'sea caves' as dubbed by my niece who enjoyed adventuring along the rocky outcroppings with the dogs looking for "treasure" haha. All of the monuments were thoughtfully plaved and respectful. The walkways made it an easy path for anyone who may struggle on more rigorous hikes. There were plenty of benches to stop a d admire the scenery and views of the lakes and islands. We just wish it hadn't been such a rainy day but we still enjoyed our spring explorations.

I haven’t taken the tour since I used to give the tour in the late 90s, but the view is beautiful!

If you're looking for something to do and enjoy little bits of history knowledge or even just a nice scenic walk, this place is quite nice. I'm not huge into history but it was rather nice learning about all that happened right here! I'm a little bummed that we didn't look more at where horse island was but it was neat learning about all of it. It's a nice walking path around and the view on the water is lovely too! Stroller friendly!

Nestled along the scenic shores of New York's historic landscape, Fort Sackets offers visitors a breathtaking backdrop for memorable experiences. During my recent visit, I was immediately enchanted by the captivating sunset that graced the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky. It truly stole the show and left a lasting impression. While the sunset was undeniably the highlight of my visit, I couldn't help but wish for a more immersive experience within the fort itself. The walking path, adorned with informative signs indicating the location of various points of interest, provided some insight into the fort's history. However, I longed for more tangible remnants of the past to explore and engage with. Nevertheless, despite the lack of extensive fort exploration, the panoramic views offered from Fort Sackets are unparalleled. The serene beauty of Lake Ontario stretching out before me, coupled with the warmth of the fading sun, created a truly magical ambiance. It's a place where time seems to stand still, inviting visitors to pause and appreciate the natural splendor that surrounds them. While Fort Sackets may lack in-depth historical immersion, its enchanting sunset vistas make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike. Whether you're seeking a tranquil spot to unwind or a picturesque setting to capture the beauty of nature, Fort Sackets delivers an unforgettable experience.

Restaurant
Located in Gananoque, the Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands is a popular spot for those looking to try their luck. With over 500 slot machines and various table games like Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, and Texas Holdem Poker, there's something for everyone. The casino also features the Windward Restaurant offering a range of dining options. Visitors can easily obtain a player's card for added perks and excellent customer service is provided.
We went on Friday of the Easter weekend. We ate dinner in the restaurant there. I asked about gluten-free food, and the lovely waitress brought us a piece of notebook paper with handwritten food they serve. Mostly desserts. I ordered plain chicken wings. Very clean. I'd give our waitress a 5 star if I could. She has been working there for a year. Anyways, she was so lovely, personality wise. We headed to the slots, and my guy won some. His winnings totaled $666, good laugh with the super friendly cashier about that total. When I went outside for a cig, the security guards were present and quite courteous. I felt safe going outside by myself. Great place to be if you want to get out.

Today my partner and I went on a double date with our mutual friends to the Windward Restaurant (the restaurant attached to the casino). I’m new to the area, so it’s only my second time dining at the Windward. The prices are super fair for the food quality and portion size. They have a moderate selection of food with lots of comfort food choices. Their selection includes pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, salads, appies, and a few other items. They have a large selection of cocktails as well. Additionally, our server Mark W. was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and had great timing. He would check in with us at all the right moments without feeling overbearing. Overall, I would say this restaurant is a hidden gem and a must try if you’re visiting Gananoque, ON.

To: Management, Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands Subject: Formal Complaint – Unacceptable and Unprofessional Experience on July 20, 2025 Dear Shorelines Casino Management, I’m writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment with the unacceptable level of service I received during my visit to your Gananoque location on the evening of July 20, 2025. I have been a loyal patron of your casino since the day it opened. Over the years, I’ve witnessed a steady decline in both the professionalism of your staff and the overall customer experience — but what happened during my most recent visit crossed a line I never thought I’d see in an established gaming facility. At around 7:30 p.m., I approached the cashier’s cage to cash out $125 in chips. I waited for over 12 minutes with absolutely no staff in sight. Eventually, I noticed a sign saying someone would return at 7:45 p.m. — meaning a single guest, at the end of their evening, is expected to wait 15 minutes (or longer) just to cash out. This is not a corner store — it’s a casino. And leaving a cashier’s cage unattended during operating hours is not only unprofessional, it’s absurd. When I flagged down a manager — a woman with dark hair and heavily tattooed arms — her response was equally appalling. Rather than apologizing or making any effort to assist, she became defensive and dismissive, telling me the cashier was on her 15-minute break and that they “don’t have the staff.” I told her I had already been waiting nearly 20 minutes, and that this was simply unacceptable — to which she offered no solution, no accountability, and certainly no professionalism. Let me be clear: it is not the customer’s responsibility to adjust to your staffing shortages. And it is not acceptable for a guest to wait half an hour to cash out, only to be met with attitude and excuses from a manager. If this is how your leadership handles a simple service breakdown, it’s no wonder the experience at this casino has deteriorated so badly. The message this sends is loud and clear — your staff’s time matters, but your guests’ time does not. That is a fatal flaw in any service industry, let alone one that relies on customer loyalty. After decades of visiting your casino, I will not be returning. I hope you take this feedback seriously, because what I experienced was not just poor service — it was a complete failure of basic operational and managerial competence. 0/10 D-
Alex K — Google review
I recently visited this casino, and I’ve never had such an unpleasant experience. The security guards, Jay and Nicole, were extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Instead of ensuring guest safety or providing assistance, they seemed more interested in trolling guests and making snarky comments. What’s worse is how contradictory their behavior was to the casino’s own policies, which are clearly posted on the signboard at the bottom of the front desk. The board states that guests will be treated with respect and that all concerns will be handled professionally. Yet, Jay and Nicole did the exact opposite — dismissive, rude, and completely lacking in customer service skills. When I tried to address the issue or speak with a manager, I was met with attitude and zero accountability. It’s disappointing to see employees who act above the rules the casino itself claims to enforce. If management truly cares about their reputation, they should retrain their staff or reconsider who represents their brand at the front line. Until that happens, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere — and I suggest others do the same.

Went here with a friend and the vibe isn't what it used to be. They seem to be missing key features to attract people. Before there were buffets available, more tables open and when it has more patrons, the place becomes more upbeat. We went to one in Ottawa and it was night and day in comparison.

A completely controlled casino, with zero chance of winning on slot machines (bonuses don't even pay you half of what you've bet) or on tables (the machine that shuffles and deals the cards), plus very few tables open (only one table for 3 players playing doubles) and stifling heat inside. It's supposed to be on the highway and a pleasant stop, but it’s a complete disaster experience.

The Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, New York offers a fascinating experience for boat enthusiasts and history buffs. The museum showcases a diverse collection of antique boats, including racing crafts and the impressive La Duchesse 1903 houseboat. Visitors can explore several buildings housing various types of antique boats, from speedboats to rowboats and canoes. During warmer months, guided tours of the historic La Duchesse are available. Additionally, seasonal skiff and speedboat rides provide an opportunity to enjoy the scenic surroundings.
Absolutely fantastic boat museum. This was my first time visiting Clayton NY and so many people recommended a stop here. They have a huge collection of boats including a Boatcar, which I had never seen in person as it is very rare. They have some beautiful wooden boats that are well maintained and you can even book a ride on a classic boat! Which is exactly what we did. This was a great way to see the St Lawrence River and many of the islands there. I bought postcards to send to family & friends & promptly sent them out! The gift shop has some nice items available. If you are in Clayton NY, stop in and don't forget to book a boat ride!

Gorgeous gorgeous boats – the place defies words. If you like boats, it's a must see! Took us about three hours - do the La Duchesse houseboat tour...she's pretty special and only adds $3.00! 🙂

We stopped at the Antique Boat Museum, a sprawling complex featuring everything from small leisure vessels to impressive speedboats. The speedboat building was a definite highlight. ​We opted for the river ride (an added fee) aboard a Hacker Craft, which lasted about 45 minutes. Though the water was a little choppy and windy on the day we went, it was still nice and relaxing. Our captain shared some local history along the way. While the weather is out of the operator's control, this ride would be even better on a calmer, less windy day. Be sure to check the forecast, as the river ride is seasonal.
M. K — Google review
For boating enthusiasts, this is a must-do when the 1000 Islands area. On a recent visit, I was offered a fabulous ride on a late model Hackercraft piloted by Captain Mike. The tour was scenic and informative, at a cost of only $25 per person!! Their displays of historic vessels document a historic period of recreational boat development, featuring extensive inventory of classic wooden boats, including world famous racers, and Iconic builds like the 48 foot Hutchinson “Pardon Me”. The gift shop features apparel, books, posters, caps, has something for every enthusiast!

What a place! I grew up on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, when there were wooden boats everywhere. Big and small, fast and slow. Walking into the Antique Boat Museum was a trip down memory lane. We expected to spend an hour there. We stayed for over four. The variety of boats and engines and gear is mind blowing. I have never experienced a finer collection of antique boats anywhere. The multiple buildings of the museum are expansive, clean and bright. The virtual boat ride is notable. Seeing so many wooden boats in the water under the shed is really special too. Gives you the opportunity to see the boats as the are supposed to look. That is floating. There must be over 100 canoes from birch bark on up. Something incredible is the race boat building. Boats from the beginning until they stopped using wood. You can see the evolution of race boat design from the dozens of relics they have displayed. If you have even a flicker of interest in classic boats, go visit this place. You can even sign up for a ride in one of the beautiful woiden runabouts they have.

A must when visiting Clayton. My boyfriend surprised me with a trip to this quaint little town. This was definitely a highlight. We made the last river boat tour and the weather was perfect. The river boat can only take 6 passengers and tour is 45mins long. It’s a fast, smooth ride! The museum was nice with multiple areas to explore. We called ahead and the staff was able to accommodate us with a La Duchesse tour. Highly recommend doing this as it’s one of a kind!

This is the type of place you can spend hours reading and viewing. It is overwhelming how much info there is, exhibits, and just content to read about. If you are into the trades of boat building, boating in general, boat racing, canoes, or just general history this is a no brainer to visit. Recommended to stop in and a great job by the staff!

Murphys Point Provincial Park is situated on Big Rideau Lake, which forms part of the Rideau Waterway. The park offers visitors a chance to explore several historically significant areas, including the Silver Queen Mine - a mica mine from the early 1900s that provides tours and interpretive programs throughout summer and fall weekends. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the diverse habitat available in Murphys Point, with forests, wetlands and old fields providing ideal conditions for various species.
A very beautiful provincial park. We stopped here for the day. Started with the Murphys point loop hike. A very gorgeous trail. The trail was well marked and most of the trail was under the beautiful canopy of the forest. We stopped for lunch at the point and watched the boats drive by. We spent the afternoon paddling around hoggs Bay. We were lucky enough to catch a few fish from the bay. There are lots of activities to do here and the park staff were all super friendly.

Get back to nature park You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Best park store I have ever been in has everything you need even fishing rods. Very clean park that gets you back to nature. Had a no hydro site 129 that back on to a pond it was very wide and private. The beach is back to nature not man made with sand all over. You think you are in the middle of nowhere Can’t wait to go back. Best fishing I have ever had. All fish went back in. My shoe is a size 12.5

We have frequented many of Ontario’s Provincial Parks over the years, as do many of our friends and family, but no one had any experience with Murphy’s Point Provincial Park so we arrived not knowing what to expect. The park is gorgeous to hike and bike around. There are countless places to paddle, and every campground had nice forest coverage. We ended up meeting the Warden after a minor after-hours arrival issue (resolved) and he was so helpful and interesting to talk to; a tremendous representative of the park. We would definitely go again. One pro-tip though: Many of the sites were small, had significant slope, boulders, and/or roots, which would make pitching a tent or tents difficult. When searching for reservations, list your equipment (1 tent, 2 tents, RV, etc) as being bigger than what you actually intend to bring so that you end up with a campsite that will better meet your needs.

Murphy's Point Provincial Park is a lovely park in Eastern Ontario, only a short drive from Perth or Kingston. The trails are lovely, with easy walking with some designated safe for biking. Three main attractions are within the park; The Silver Queen Mine, the McParlan House, and the Lally Homestead. All have easy access trails with no additional entrance fees. The Silver Queen Mine is a mica and apatite mine. The entrance is gated. Guided tours are held during the peak summer months. The Lally Homestead and McParlan House are self-guided. Canoeing and kayaking is excellent. The main route starts at the main beach or boat launch and takes paddlers through Hoggs Bay, Big Rideau Lake, Noble Bay, Loon Lake and back to the starting point. There are two portages with easy walking. Swimming is excellent too at the main beach or even the hike-in beach. The Park Store is well equipped with essentials. The comfort stations are clean and have showers with ample hot water. There are coin-op washing machines on-site. Staff are super-friendly and welcoming. If you are a birder, you are in luck. In the campground you will see several Red-Bellied Woodpeckers, a variety of warblers and Scarlet Tanagers, even the Towhee can be found here. One can easily find the Grey Rat Snake too. We had an excellent 4 day vacation here!
Ken H — Google review
The sites are spaced out great, ample room between most sites which is nice for privacy. The boat launch was perfect for setting off on your paddle board or kayak with access to Big Rideau Lake, Hoggs Bay, and also Nobles Bay. Nice hiking trails, the washrooms would benefit from more frequent cleaning as other campers don’t seem to respect the communal use but that’s an issue at most car camping sites. Overall would recommend camping here.

We took a Prolite Profil into Fallows campground, I'd recommend a 4x4 since there's one really steep hill that my Caravan almost didn't crest. Good thing the soil was dry 😬. Bring lots of deet bug repellent and check for ticks. On a clear night, you can faintly see the milky way; in early July, you'll need to stay up until after midnight to see it (look east). We also saw a deer just a couple of meters from our spot at night. Lots of other wildlife to observe! Also, the water at the beach glimmers because of the mica. Quite a sight to behold!

Loved the campsite! We visited in early fall last year, and the Silver Queen Mill was a fantastic addition that really enhanced the whole camping experience.
Eranga D — Google review
Was a great part to spend a night camping! We unfortunately got rained out, and we’re unable to do the cave tour, and I recommend you take a look at if your site has good drainage, or if it is downhill! Luckily, we woke up just before the rain started to hit, And packed up before our site was a tad bit flooded. With that being said, we really loved doing the trail the day before! We can’t wait to come back and get a more dry experience!

Stewart Park

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Park
Nature & Parks
Stewart Park in Perth is a hidden gem offering well-kept green spaces and a peaceful atmosphere, making it an ideal escape from city life. The park's natural beauty and local history make it a must-visit for both locals and tourists. Despite its size, the park caters to everyone with opportunities for leisurely strolls, picnics, or quiet reading spots. Its proximity to downtown Perth allows for enjoyable walks along decorated sidewalks lined with traditional buildings and unique stores.
Beautiful and immaculately kept park with a cool story behind as it was donated by a rich individual who wanted everyone to enjoy it free of charge and donated it to the city. Beautiful trees, relaxing waterways and beautifully kept lawns and gardens. Highly recommended to everyone who wants to relax and immerse themselves in the beauty nature had to offer.

Great Central Park, plenty of parking spots near by. Bathroom near the north end or you can use the city hall. 2 hour free parking is enough for a picnic and walk around downtown.

Great place to visit with family, approximately an hour to hour and half drive from Ottawa depending upon traffic towards west and then take Highway 7 towards Toronto in the picturesque town of Perth, warm, welcoming and friendly local folks. The park has picnic benches and the park has Accessible parking. The park is very pristine and well kept with lots of photo-op places with a little ravine going through the park. A must visit place.

This small park in Perth is truly a hidden gem. With its well-kept green spaces and peaceful atmosphere, it provides the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, the park’s stunning natural beauty, coupled with its rich local history, makes it a must-visit. Despite its size, it offers something for everyone - a leisurely stroll, a picnic spot, or simply a quiet place to read. Can’t recommend it enough!

Really pretty park with lots of bridges and small streams. Conveniently connected to 2 other smaller parks and located right beside the Best Western Parkside Inn and Spa. Lovely area to walk around, sit and read a book or just enjoy being surrounded by nature. Very picturesque and relaxing with areas of beautiful gardens. One flower 🌺 was larger than my hand!!

I have been to this park a number of times, and enjoyed the experience every time. It's pretty big, with mature trees and quite a bit of shade. It's close to the Perth downtown area, and which also makes for an enjoyable stroll down its decorated sidewalks lined with traditional buildings and scores of exotic stores. But what takes the cake is the Tay Rapids in the middle of the park, and the constant murmuring of which is calming and relaxing. Two beautiful bridges over the water-body add to the overall ambience of the park. The restroom facilities on one side of the park, across a narrow street, are quite adequate. The only downside of this park is the dearth of parking, that gets a bit dicey on weekends. Overall, a visit to this park is highly recommended.
Chowdhury Z — Google review
What a beautiful park. There's a river running through it, lots of benches to sit and enjoy the view, outcroppings of rock, and interesting gardens. Take the path to the bottom of the park, cross the street and see the amazing dry stone built bridge. There is also a children's playground and picnic area at this end of the park.
Michelle W — Google review
Wow, we had such a fun time there! What a perfect place for family to spend time together. Play ground, picnic, shopping and so on just right in downtown Perth with lots of parking spot plus have public washroom so convenient. If you go to Perth this place you must visit.

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Zoo New York, located within Watertown's Thompson Park, spans 32 acres and is the only zoo in the world dedicated to showcasing the native animals of New York State. The zoo offers visitors an opportunity to observe a variety of North American wildlife, including black bears, wolverines, and lynx. In addition to its focus on local wildlife, Zoo New York features a Butterfly House and Olmsted Pond surrounded by wildflowers.
This is a great zoo to visit,we visited here during a weekday and it wasn’t too busy. They have a good variety of animals to look at and the butterfly house was one of our favorite spots.
Whitley S — Google review
Visited mid-week so was very calm and pleasant. The heat kept most animals in the shade staying cool, but some were active nonetheless. Never seen a black bear so close, and one of the zookeepers was playing with the wolves. He'd run back and forth by the cage and they would watch him and do it too! And the otters....! I could watch them play all day. They actually seemed to ham it up for a camera, lol. Can't wait to come back here!!!
Angelia A — Google review
Fun little zoo. My wife and I were visiting with no kids. Keep in mind Its a small zoo. While you wont see any monkeys, camals, giraffes, hippos and animals like that, you will see Bobcats, wolverines, bears, elk, goats, eagles, and some reptiles. Admission was only $12 which I felt was fair for what it is, and was well kept and we enjoyed the walk. Deducting a star due to the butterfly house (didnt actually see any butterflies in there) and the petting zoo being closed. Wasn't a huge deal for us, but I could see it being disappointing for families with children. We didnt check out the park that its actually surrounded by, but looks like you could spend a nice day there and I noticed walking paths and playgrounds.
Eric M — Google review
Small but we knew that. A gorgeous day. Very well kept up. Wish all the animals had companions. Took our time. 2 hrs seeing all the local animals. Sci tech bldg was cool. My hand magnet was off the chart! What does that mean..lol! Always see and learn something different. Always buy a gift for the kids and donated. Thank you. Great, friendly staff. Prayers for the sweet animals that we saw. Not the best pics but I tried.

We enjoyed walking around here very much and seeing the local animals of the state. My favorite would be the Wolverine and the otters. Canadian Lynx were great too.
Rkjnfl — Google review
We’ve been members at Zoo New York for two years now and between the zoo itself and all the events they have it’s well worth the price if you live in Watertown and have young kids. We come at least once a week most of the year. My only complaint is that the Halloween things they put up for most of October are way too scary for young kids. I just wish that it were at least set up in a way that you could avoid the spooky things when walking around the zoo, especially since it seems to me that most zoo attendees have pretty young kids.
Kayla V — Google review
This little zoo and science center in Watertown, NY, is an absolute gem! People can be unfair expecting a big-city zoo, but this place has a calm, pleasant atmosphere that’s perfect for families. The kids love visiting the science center, and the butterfly garden was a delightful addition. The wolverine was an adorable little show-off, and the otters were playful and engaging. We also never miss a game at the giant chess set—it’s always a hit with the kids. It’s not huge and doesn’t have many exotic animals, but it’s educational, welcoming, and easy to explore at a comfortable pace. Many of the animals are rescues—injured or unable to survive in the wild—so every visit has a meaningful side. There’s also a playground, and we stumbled upon a black currant bush—such a fun little find, and the currants were delicious! Just across the parking lot is a pool and splash pad, with another playground and a city overlook up the hill. It’s the perfect spot for a full day of family adventures. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Watertown!

This is a good place if you are wanting to just go in and buy apples and other apple related products. They also have some handmade items for sale everything from signs made from horseshoes to hand sown items to soaps and lotions. There isn't a tour of the orchard or anything like that. It's a very small place, however there is a nice set of falls behind it that makes a nice place to take pictures!

They make the best cider in the north country and their cider donuts are exceptional! The store itself has so much to offer and the waterfall out back is beautiful! We local Northerners look forward to their opening every year and they are always busy, especially weekends. If you’re in the area during the fall I highly recommend this as a place to visit. You won’t be disappointed.

Cute place but it's really just a gift shop. I expected to see cider being made but there's nothing to see but the waterfall. Our family of 9 bought several donuts and other treats only to stand outside and eat them near the parking lot. We saw several places that there could be picnic tables. Don't know why there aren't any.

Boldt Castle & Boldt Yacht House

Mentioned on 
+23 other lists 
Temporarily Closed
Museums
Castle
Boldt Castle & Boldt Yacht House is an impressive stone castle situated on a 5-acre island in the St. Lawrence River. It offers tours of its interior, formal gardens, and grounds. The castle was built by George C Boldt, the original owner of New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Visitors can take cruises from nearby operators like Uncle Sam's Boat Tours and Clayton Island Tours to reach the castle and explore other attractions in the area.
I recently visited Boldt Castle and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment you arrive by boat, the castle feels like something out of a fairy tale. Highlights: •The grounds are beautifully maintained, with vibrant flowers and lush green lawns, perfect for photos (as you can see in mine!). •The stone tower and the castle architecture are breathtaking and so fun to explore. Every corner is rich with history and intricate details. •Inside, I loved the restored rooms, the grand organ and the historic kitchen really transport you back in time. •The views of the St. Lawrence River and surrounding islands are stunning from every angle. The boat ride to and from the castle adds to the adventure. • It can get a bit crowded at the dock, so plan to arrive early if you want a quieter experience. Tips: •Bring a camera, you’ll want to capture every angle! •Wear comfy shoes for walking around the grounds and towers. •Take your time and soak in the romantic history behind Boldt Castle, it’s truly a gem in the Thousand Islands. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area. It’s a wonderful day trip for families, couples, or anyone who loves history and beautiful scenery!

We had a beautiful day for a boat ride to Boldt Castle, and it did not disappoint! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The Castle itself is breathtaking — it’s been preserved in pristine condition. I didn’t see a speck of dust or dirt anywhere. It was so nice to explore at our own pace with the self-guided tour. Tip: Once you pass through Customs but before your ticket is scanned, grab one of the program guides available in both English and French — it really helps you navigate and learn about each area. The Gift Shop is also a must-visit for a great selection of souvenirs. Walking through the Castle was a humbling experience. It’s incredible to see the love George Boldt had for his wife, Louise — keep an eye out for the heart motifs throughout the décor. Wherever he could, he included them, and it adds a really touching layer to the visit. This tour is best suited for adults or interested young adults. There isn’t much to engage children under 13. Overall, I highly recommend making time for this excursion. It’s a perfect blend of history, romance, and stunning views.
Stephanie — Google review
When you go online to buy the tickets the very short ferry from the yacht house (where you park the car) to go to Boldt Castle (which is on its own island) is free. Do not be scammed by hotel people saying you can get a discount if you buy the tour. Unless you want to do a tour of the other island and go up and down the water. Otherwise the $32 entrance fee to the castle includes the yacht house, the ferry and the castle. All self guided. Download app to listen. The upper level still are not complete, but renovations are planned. The low levels and some rooms on the second level are renovated and looked really nice reflecting the actual blueprint. The grounds are gorgeous flowers everywhere, and beautiful colorful plants. Every window you look out of in the castle you can see a view of the water, which is amazing. You do get to go to the unfinished upper levels just to see what things look like, but really not much there. A small gift shop on the second floor… relatively moderately priced items. A nice way to spend the afternoon. I think the entire thing took maybe around two hours. Parking is also free. You do have to walk on gravel from the parking lot to the yacht house. So if you have walking disabilities, please note that it’s at least six 700 yards away. You can buy tickets online and save the QR code for each ticket purchased. The little fairy that goes back-and-forth from the castle comes every 15 minutes. When you’re at the actual castle, there’s a very small store that sells things like hotdogs/hamburgers if you are hungry. A very lovely home and will definitely be returning in the future to see what other renovations they have.

We visited Boldt Castle and the Boldt Yacht House on June 29, 2025, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the views of the St. Lawrence River from the castle are absolutely stunning. We took our time exploring each floor, and the restored rooms and historical displays gave us a fascinating look into the Boldt family’s story and the castle’s unique history. The Yacht House was a surprise highlight – the collection of historic boats and the architecture itself were impressive, and the staff there were friendly and knowledgeable, answering our questions with genuine enthusiasm. We enjoyed walking around the docks and seeing the craftsmanship of the old wooden boats up close. There is plenty of space to wander, take photos, and enjoy the river breeze. It never felt crowded, and we appreciated the relaxing pace. The ferry ride to and from the castle was smooth and added to the experience with scenic views of the islands. If you are in the Thousand Islands area, Boldt Castle and the Yacht House are must-see attractions that offer a perfect mix of history, architecture, and natural beauty. Highly recommend spending a few hours here to take it all in.

It was so beautiful!! The staff were extremely nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. We even came upon a proposal at the shell fountain and she said yes! They looked so happy. The boat ride is very short and the docks easy to navigate. The paths are kept clear of debris and the map was easy to follow. I would highly recommend!!!

This place was so amazing. Every single staff member was so sweet. It was just breathtakingly beautiful!!! The gardens, the inside, the outside, you could easily spend an entire day here!

We visited Boldt Castle in the summer, and it was beautiful. We loved the landscaping and the architecture, but the true story behind the "home" was heartbreaking. Walking through the castle felt like trespassing in a shrine to a life that never got to be lived. If you're a Downton Abbey or Gilded Age fan, you don't want to miss this one!
Abigail K — Google review
Such an amazing piece of history to visit and story to learn. They have restored a good portion of the castle and other buildings and the grounds are also beautiful. What a wonderful way to spend a beautiful summer afternoon. We were lucky it was not too busy and were able to appreciate the beauty of Heart island. We did a 5-hour excursion from Rockport which included a 3 hour stop at the island. Well worth it!

Our visit to Mrs. McGarrigle's Fine Food Shop in Merrickville, Ontario, was a delightful experience. The shop is a treasure trove for anyone looking to indulge in quality goods. We picked up some British goodies, which brought a taste of home to our kitchen, along with a selection of beautifully crafted soaps, an apron, and a stylish tote bag. One of the standout aspects of this shop is the incredible selection of spices, oils, and vinegars—not to mention their impressive array of mustards. Each item is carefully curated, and it's clear that the shop takes pride in offering only the best to its customers. The name "Mrs. McGarrigle" sounds like a character straight out of a Harry Potter novel, and that would make sense given the magical experience this shop offers. On top of the great selection, the storekeeper is the nicest and most pleasant person you could hope to deal with, making the shopping experience even more enchanting.Whether you're looking for specialty foods, unique kitchen items, or just want to browse a charming store, Mrs. McGarrigle's is definitely worth a visit. It's a must-stop destination for anyone in Merrickville.

Discover the Aquatarium at Tall Ships Landing, an indoor discovery center in the heart of Brockville. This interactive attraction offers educational programs, animal habitats, and hands-on exhibits that promote curiosity about the ecology, history, and culture of the 1000 Islands region. Get up close with otters, beavers, and fish from the St. Lawrence River while learning about their natural habitat.
This place is magical! ✨ If you have kids or just need someone to spend the day I highly recommend the Aquatarium. There is something to do for everyone, all ages. There's also a restaurant and cafe so you don't have to worry about leaving to get something to eat or to enjoy a cup of coffee or a latte. The staff is so friendly and helpful, you can tell they really enjoy their jobs. I would definitely suggest visiting during March break because they have mermaids swimming in the tanks. It does get quite busy over the break but if you visit in the morning or late afternoon you can beat the crowd. The mermaids are definitely worth stopping in to see. This place is educational without being boring.
Brooke S — Google review
Very nice place for kids. Very interactive and lots of things to see for everyone. I personally love the otters and the beaver! There is also a free ropes course within the building. If you have little kids, an adult should be with them since they can't attach themselves by themselves. Make sure you aren't afraid of heights! The planetarium was also great and interesting for older age groups.
Jette H — Google review
Nice place! But honestly, it’s a bit overrated. Sure, it’s not bad, and probably fun if your kids are under 5, but the price still feels quite high, especially for an adult ticket. On the bright side, the otters were super cute and active, and the beaver was really entertaining! Though I have to say, I felt a bit sorry for the beaver — its enclosure seemed cramped, with just a small pen and a tiny one-metre-by-one-metre pool. So yes, there are things to see, but I’d say it’s more of a one-time visit… or best if you’re five:)
Diana D — Google review
This place is awesome!! I visited this weekend with my 4 children 15 to 6. They all had a blast. I myself was amazed and learned so many things. I love the hands on experience touching the stars and the shells and learning about them. There are games as well and presentations, a pirate ship, cord climbing etc. In the main entrance, there are multiple games for the children and a souvenir shop. Aquariums were fantastic with a wide variety of fish, shells, separate ones for otters, a beaver, turtles, a snake etc. Entrance was about 26$ per adult and 21$ for children 3 - 15 years old. Paid parking available underground or outdoor parking. Washrooms were clean. Staff was great and super patient and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this place! Definitely worth the visit!!

The Aquatarium at Tall Ships Landing offers a unique waterfront experience, nestled within a condo complex. While the admission fee of $26.25 for adults and $21.20 for children (3-17) is on the pricier side, a full-day pass allows for return visits, making the otter feeding a highly recommended way to maximize value. Younger visitors will find plenty to engage them, from a large ship climber and interactive water power displays to well-maintained aquariums showcasing local marine life and a supervised touch tank. Although the beaver feeding was a bit sleepy, the highlight for many, including myself, is the captivating river otter exhibit, featuring three to four playful residents. The gift shop offers standard souvenirs. Staff are notably friendly. While a pleasant visit, it didn't quite reach the heights of Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. Several restaurants are conveniently located nearby.
Rose D — Google review
Awesome aquarium and more! It's fishes aren't numerous but they have many other fun and interactive activities. From watching the beaver do tricks and eat to watching the Otters playing and get fed. There's an indoor suspended wood obstacle course, slide in a ship, target launchers, make a weather broadcast with costumes ans so much more! If you like drawing and technology, color in a robot and see it come to life on a big screen. You can touch some sea creatures, like star fish, sea slugs, crab, etc. A fun place for all ages!

It was so great, I almost want to gatekeep this little adventure spot! Visited with 4 and 1.5 year old kids. We went for the otters, and also loved the interactive water tables, Port of Johnstown exhibit, touch tank, animated sandbox, aquariums, and amazing staff. Before we'd even left, we were talking about getting membership to visit on repeat! Looking forward to visiting when the kids are older too so that they can enjoy the ropes course, green screen newsroom etc.

Super cool aquarium. Come through this town twice annually, wish I knew about it sooner. Otters were excited when people walked up to their enclosure, which was also very large and well made. Definitely worth a visit if you like fish and animals.

There are tons of interesting historical facts, and the open layout means it never feels too crowded. Each exhibit has several items on display, which kept things engaging. There are also lots of interactive features that make it fun and exciting—especially for kids! The bathrooms were clean, the gift shop was lovely, and the café was nice, with a good selection of snacks and drinks and lots of open seating. The pricing was also very reasonable! Overall, a really enjoyable visit. I’d definitely recommend it!

Amazing day at this museum: plan to stay the day, bring a lunch (minimal options at cafeteria). The museum offers demos even on quiet weekdays - we attended 3 shows and they were very engaging, bilingual, and great learning opportunities! The train exhibit is captivating and there are some wooden trains to play with. Most of the exhibits have interactive activities, cycling through times allows you to ride and race on a bike, several microscope, height comparison, etc. A whole zone for under 8 years old allow kids to explore on their own - truly engaging. Parking with Indigo is 9,50$/day We will return. The membership (which allows you access to 2 other Ingenium museum) is a good deal.

Canada Science and Technology Museum — Family Visit Review We visited the Canada Science and Technology Museum last weekend with our family, and it was a fantastic experience. The kids had a great time exploring all the interactive exhibits and activities, and the adults enjoyed refreshing their own science and technology knowledge. The ticket prices were reasonable, and with the Strong Pass, you get additional discounts, which is a nice bonus. At the entrance, after check in, they provided us with maps, and each exhibit room was clearly labeled, making it easy to navigate from one gallery to the next. The museum layout is very intuitive, with rooms connected in a way that lets you flow naturally through the space. The amount of information and hands-on learning available is incredible — truly a brain gym for kids! There was so much to learn, from basic scientific principles to complex technology concepts, all explained through simple and engaging experiments. This interactive approach really makes science come alive. There were plenty of activities to keep the kids engaged, including hands-on stations, games, and even demonstrations. Adults will find it equally fascinating, with opportunities to revisit and reconnect with science and tech concepts they might have forgotten. The museum is quite large, so I would recommend planning for at least 4 to 6 hours, depending on how deeply you want to explore each area. We hadn’t fully planned our time and ended up having to skip the last block of exhibits, so be sure to allow enough time if you want to see everything. I didn’t notice a dedicated refreshment area or café, so if you have kids who might need a snack break, it’s best to check with the front desk about food and drink options before you start your tour. Parking was easy, and the staff at the entrance were friendly and patient Overall, this museum is absolutely worth your time. It’s educational, entertaining, and suitable for all ages. Highly recommend a visit!

This was a fun experience. We had not been to visit in years so it all seemed very new and exciting and a great learning experience. They also have a massive building adjacent that has a guided tour of the exhibits that are not on display.

Very fun to walk around and learn about the advancement of the technology we see everyday, the the technology we left behind. We loved the Sound section with the fun gadgets we could play around with. The Kitchen section felt the most informative and the steam power section was the most fun to walk around due to the absolute scale of the trains. The building also looks quite nice.

This is a pretty big museum. Great for children to explore and learn about technology and science. The museum has some science experiments to explain concepts to children. There is a big room close to the exit to play and booster the children imagination. Paid parking area. Big area for eating.

Upper Canada Village

Temporarily Closed
Historical place museum
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
Upper Canada Village is a historical site featuring over 40 well-preserved buildings, costumed staff, and interactive demonstrations that offer a glimpse into rural Canadian life in 1866. Visitors can explore the village and engage with the staff to learn about various aspects of daily life during that time period. The site hosts both summer and winter events, such as the Alight at Night event, which offers a unique experience for visitors.
Spent a full day exploring and immersing ourselves in this world. So much fun and can't recommend it enough. Come with an empty mind, ask questions, be curious, you won't regret it. Grounds were very unique and staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. 5 stars.

Upper Village Canada is truly a hidden gem. The neighborhood feels peaceful and welcoming, with clean streets and a calm atmosphere that makes it perfect for a relaxing walk. What I really enjoyed was the sense of community—people are friendly, and it feels safe and comfortable to spend time here. There are also some lovely spots to sit, enjoy the surroundings, and take in the charm of the area. It’s not overly crowded, which makes it even more enjoyable if you’re looking for a quiet place away from the hustle of the city. Overall, it’s a beautiful area that combines nature, comfort, and a warm atmosphere, and I would definitely recommend visiting or even considering it as a place to live.

Pumpkinferno at Upper Canada Village is such a fun fall experience! The pumpkin displays are incredibly detailed and creative — you can tell so much work goes into them. Walking through the village at night with all the glowing pumpkins feels magical and festive. It’s perfect for families, couples, or just a cozy fall outing. Definitely worth the drive and the ticket price! 🎃🍂 There’s a train ride for the family for additional 8$ per person. This event runs select nights from October 3 to November 1, 2025. So hurry up if you haven’t gone there yet. 🤩

Visiting Upper Canada Village is like stepping back in time to the 19th century. The atmosphere is both peaceful and lively, filled with the sounds of horse-drawn wagons, water-powered mills, and costumed interpreters who bring history to life. The village is beautifully preserved, with gardens, farm animals, and traditional workshops that make you feel like you are truly walking through the past. What makes this place so special is the way it allows families to experience history together. For children, it’s an incredible opportunity to see how kids their age lived more than a century ago—without screens, technology, or modern comforts. Instead of video games and tablets, they discover the joy of simple play, helping in gardens, or learning how bread was baked in a stone oven. Parents can use this as a moment to reflect on how daily life has changed, and how community, hard work, and creativity shaped people’s lives before modern conveniences. Upper Canada Village is more than just a museum; it’s a living classroom. It offers families a chance to slow down, connect, and appreciate both the challenges and the beauty of the past compared to today’s fast-paced world.

I had a great time at the Pumpkin Festival! 🎃 The atmosphere was festive and family-friendly, with lots of creative pumpkin displays, delicious seasonal treats, and fun activities for all ages. The live music and food stalls added a nice touch, and it really felt like the perfect way to celebrate fall. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it got a bit crowded at peak hours, and did not felt like worth driving from Ottawa. Still, overall it was a wonderful experience — definitely worth visiting if you love autumn vibes and pumpkin everything!

I went with my daughter and her boyfriend. Line went pretty fast to get inside. It took about 45 minutes to walk through with enough time to take pictures. Found a lot of people don’t pay attention if someone is taking photos. A lot of great pumpkin carvings was very enjoyable.

Quite impressive and interesting! We loved to watch the blacksmith, cheese maker, tinmaker, shoemaker etc. at work and to see an historic sawmill in action. Just awesome! The horse-drawn carriage ride was for free and a nice way to get an overview of the area. We were happy that we've dicided to visit this place.
Nadine B — Google review
We LOVED the experience. This place takes you back in time, to the 1800s. People that work there were amazing. It felt good to be a bit disconnected from today’s society and see how people lived 200 years ago. The village is well managed and big enough you can easily spend half day just walking around.

St-Albert Cheese

$$$$affordable
Cheese manufacturer
St-Albert Cheese Coop is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling between Ottawa and Montreal, making it the perfect gourmet stop in Eastern Ontario. This charming spot features a delightful restaurant, an inviting ice cream bar, and a lovely patio where you can relax. The friendly staff enhance your experience as you explore their impressive market filled with local goods, including their renowned cheese.
Great place to visit and eat, food was delicious, cheese curds were super fresh and the ice cream was some of the best I've had if not the best! The dairy they use for the ice cream and cheese is very fresh so everything tastes amazingly fresh! I will definitely be coming back! There's also the opportunity to see how they create the cheese curds and process it which is super cool!
Aladdin D — Google review
Absolutely loved the cheese sticks and the ice cream! St-Albert Cheese Co-Op is such a fun and tasty stop. The cheese sticks were super fresh and full of flavor — definitely the best I’ve ever had. And the ice cream? Creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. You can also watch the cheese-making process and shop for lots of local goodies. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!
Inna — Google review
Absolutely loved my visit to St-Albert Cheese Co-op. Their poutine is outstanding- served with generous portions of gravy and fresh cheese curds that squeak with every bite, a true sign of quality. The curds were incredibly fresh, and the entire dish was perfectly balanced. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or taking a tour of the factory, this place is well worth the visit. Highly recommended for any cheese or poutine lover! They also have a gift shop and ice cream but I didn’t try any of those
Aidan T — Google review
If you are traveling between Ottawa and Montreal this is a must stop. It was great to see where the curds are made and how it is processed. A welcome stop off of the highway. The self guided tour is a nice touch since you can just come in and enjoy the entire facility. It is a cool spot with plenty to see inside and out, lots of seating and a very welcoming vibe. Good food, good ice cream, and a great market. The market was definitely my favorite spot with how many local goods they featured other than just their own dairy. The history of the place was fascinating and it was really great to actually watch the production floor putting out all of the delicious cheese. Of course, the highlight for our 4 year old daughter was the ice cream shop. Their service was super quick for food and ice cream.
Nathan D — Google review
Fries are unique, i liked them i see some didnt. Cheese too ofc. But i find it odd that you buy poutine from the poutine cheese people. And it barely has any cheese in it. I am here to buy a poutine with your cheese as the highlight not the minor/small component It shows frugality. Greed. Cheepness. Its very odd. Won't come back here. And won't buy your cheese at Costco again. When you go to factory locations of others brands for chocolate or other stuff. They are generous to reward yoy for driving an hour to visit them or more. Very dissapointing The gravy btw has a slightly bitterness to it. Like a bit overcooked. But this is personal preference and bias. Maybe that's the way it should taste here. So no problem. If the cheese was generous this would be a higher rating. Ciao

Best fresh burger! The cheese curds were fresh and delicious. Highly recommended. The ice cream was okay, but the gelato looked a bit melted
Sb S — Google review
I've only been here once but it was obvious that St-Albert Cheese is an institution in eastern Ontario. Families flock here for dinner, long weekend trippers make this a dedicated pitstop, and folks looking for a cone after work are frequent. The vegetarian "Vegetastic" poutine (large) was massive and fantastic, as was the vanilla soft serve cone with butterscotch dip (large). Getting a bag of curds to-go was a must. Thank you St-Albert Cheese!

Robert Moses State Park - Thousand Islands

State park
Nature & Parks
Parks
Robert Moses State Park - Thousand Islands offers a variety of activities for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can explore the trails that meander through forests, fields, and wetlands, providing opportunities for hiking, biking, and running. The park features a beautiful beach where guests can relax, swim, and enjoy picnics with picturesque views of the river. Fishing is also popular along the riverbank. The well-maintained beach is monitored by lifeguards and offers a safe environment for water activities.
Cabin 1 at Robert Moses State Park offers a serene retreat, tucked away from the other cabins, providing ample privacy and a sense of seclusion. However, the river view is partially obstructed by trees, which may disappoint those expecting an unobstructed waterfront vista. Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy occasional sightings of deer grazing at a distance near the cabin, adding to the natural charm.During hot summer days, the cabin can become quite warm, especially at night. Bringing portable fans is highly recommended to stay comfortable, and fortunately, the cabin has plenty of electrical outlets to accommodate them. A basic charcoal BBQ is provided outside, but consider bringing your own grilling equipment for a better cooking experience. The cabin has both hot and cold water, though it's unclear if the water is potable, so bringing bottled water is advisable.Overall, Cabin 1 is well-maintained, clean, and ideal for a peaceful, quiet vacation. Highly recommended for those seeking a tranquil getaway in the Thousand Islands region.

Very nice beach monitor by life guards. Electric sites with asphalt roads, kept really clean. Plenty of trees and sun sites for RVs and tents. Good fishing spot too. Dump station is a bit inconvenient for the new camp area near the beach but not big deal to make a short detour on the way out.

The Massena, NY one btw: Loved going here! So many things to do for free. Fun, learning center, live and stuffed animals, well maintained grounds, walking trails, beaches, picnic tables, a small gift shop/camping supplies, and a playground. You can even bring your dog. Come say hi to Jabba the Toad. I really enjoyed the large aquariums. They have touch and smell stations for kids along with an inside look to a bees hive. A LARGE chess board inside, various sitting areas, restrooms, and a water bottle refill station. Highly recommend

Beautiful beach ! I went in October on a Thursday morning - no charge to enter park . I arrived at 720am and all fields had a solid number of cars; still plenty of parking as there are 5 fields . I parked in field 5 with an extremely short walk to the beach . The beach itself was clean and well taken care of . Some fishermen present . Most people wearing masks . I felt safe and park rangers where frequently making their rounds . No bugs , very windy . got to see deer making their way to the water :-) . Found my first ever sand dollars !! Stunning rocks and plenty of shells as the tide rolls out . Water is dark brown looking . I didn’t have a chance to walk the nature trail / lighthouse but have heard good things . Tons of local there ; all extremely nice & welcoming. Beautiful drive in and out. Highly recommend .

Great post summer camping with only 12% of sites occupied. Beautiful weather w/ 70°s during the day and upper 40s at night. The site 55 that I was in had a side view of ships and barges going into and out of the lock from the west side. Lots of areas to hike, bike or run. Lots of water for boating,etc.

This is will be a long review about cabin 4. We stayed for a week over July 4th holiday. We are a family of 6 with four young boys. I'd say overall it was a fine cabin. Not necessarily clean but also not gross. I had to wipe down surfaces and clean the fridge before I felt comfortable but it was ok. Fridge, stove top (didn't use oven), and sink all worked well. Beds and bedrooms were great. Shelves and hangers and a rod for clothes, shelves by the beds. Bathroom was not great. Floor was peeling up and sink was old. Shower was small and leaked onto the floor but it did have great pressure and hot water! The water tasted awful in the cabin though, not sure why. All the windows had screens and worked very well. Bring fans for the summer!! It gets stuffy in there. I saw some cabins had window AC units too which I wish we had brought. The backyard was so huge it was kind of silly. Picnic table, fire ring with grate, and grill. There was a sewer access in our backyard that sometimes smells quite bad. Just a small view of the water, nothing spectacular especially since the dam was there so it wasn't very pretty. There was a bit of water access but again not much and the current was strong there. There was also a nightly skunk. We smelled it once and saw it twice around twilight which left us unable to enjoy being outside after dark! It was such a bummer. I saw no signs of mice in the cabin and we had only a few flies inside, no mosquitos at all really even outside. Where the cabins are you have to drive to everything within the park. The beach was nice though! Clean clear water, soft sand, plenty of lifeguards on duty who were attentive. It's a walk from the parking lot though which I did not like. Plenty of shade by the picnic tables and playground. The staff were all friendly enough and helpful. We rented a pontoon boat from the marina one day and that was excellent. The boat was brand new and beautiful. Barely used any gas but were out all day. Marina staff was very nice. Overall we had a fine experience at the park but I wouldn't say it was spectacular. Mostly because the views are so encroached on by the dams and the lock. But the water in the river is so clean and clear and it was a good time for our family. I would also say the unique things like the nature center and the lock center and lock really made it a more special trip for us.

Nice casion in a small town. Exceed my expectations. Staffs are very friendly and they will surprise you if you ask them how to play a new game that you are not familiar with. You might win big for that as well. Overall, I love the environment over there.

Nice casino. The table games are limited but at least they have some. Slot machines are spaced well and there are plenty throughout the gaming floor. They also have a bingo hall and a few places to eat so all in all it's a decent casino. There isn't much to choose from in the area so it's worth a visit.

Fun place to lose money. LOL Clean, smoke free casino. The games are newer and fun to play. The restaurants have pretty darn good food at reasonable prices.

We just returned from a three-day stay at Akwesasne Hotel Casino. Originally, we booked for two nights but it was so enjoyable and relaxing that we decided to stay an extra night. We have been Marriott members for more than 30 years however our ADA room was nicer than any Marriott room. It was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Folks at the front desk were polite and cheerful as were the people who worked in the casino. We are supportive of the Native America community and spending time and money at the Mohawk Casino Resort was our pleasure.

Horrible place. If you book online, next thing you know you're stuck in a room at a tiny shack NEXT DOOR. One Google listing, for a casino hotel AND PLAYERS INN. ITS A DIFFERENT HOTEL, next door and not anything I was expecting. Want to use the nice pool at the casino you see in the photos? NOPE. Wanna come downstairs to play? NOPE. You'll be driving across a parking lot and no access to the amenities you see online. This is a HUGE SCAM. NO CLARITY ONLINE AND NO WAY TO CHANGE IT. Edit: I'll add, Let this review be a PSA. They know about this as an ongoing issue. They do nothing about this. The whole check in took almost 1 HOUR, and no resolution by the end of it.

Rooms very clean and elegant, if not simple. Had a fridge, no microwave for example,but shower and bed were great. Pillows had me, and my friends in another room, sleeping a bit hot, fyi. Toiletries felt nice 11a checkout was pretty strict, housekeeping was at my door by 11:02 as I was looking for my shoes :) they were polite and kind about it though. Casino itself was fun, and didn't have the depressing nature some can.

We visit this casino once a week. It is far for us to travel (200 km round trip), but we enjoy ourselves there. The people are friendly and there is a good selection of slot machines. They also have a lot of perks. They used to be open 24/7, which I prefer, but since Covid, they are short of staff and had to change their hours. Unfortunately, I have eaten in 3 of their restaurants, and I find that the food is never hot enough, especially their French fries, even when I specify that I wanted my fries hot. But I would recommend this casino.

Beau's Brewery

Brewery
Food & Drink
Delicious beers, amazing location, and awesome staff! I was able to visit here on a Tuesday afternoon while in town for the Limitless retreat. Since it was a weekday, it was a quiet afternoon, but I could tell the place gets hopping at the large patio space out front. Next time I'm in the area, I'll plan my trip around time to be here for an event (or two). Enjoyed a flight with a tasty range in beer styles and flavors. Hard to pick a favorite as each had their own unique high points. Although the crème brulé stout was a delicious treat. My favorite part was chatting with the team about the area and the history of the brewery. Come in once and you'll be a regular!
Andy A — Google review
I had been wanting to visit this brewery for a while and finally went and some things were great others a little disappointing. First off the most disappointing aspect is that the brewery was recently acquired by Steam Whistle so nothing is brewed on site anymore, it's all done in Toronto, so you can't see the brewing operation. They did however have 8 beers on tap including this time around the iconic Lugtread, a Lugtread light, a sour, a stout, a red and a few IPAs. All of them were quite good and you can order by the pint or sample in flights of 4. They had several of the bees in cans also so you can take some with you. They also serve snacks and food. They have nice Beau's schwag for sale too including Ts, caps, hoodies, beer glasses and mugs amongst other things. They had a few hot sauces made with their beer and the one we bought was amazing. On the cool side too now is part of the area has been taken over by Dunrobin distillery and you can try and buy their products on-site. They had vodkas, rhums, whiskeys, and gins, etc and the ones I tried were quite interesting. There is a small parking, clean washrooms and In the summer they make an outdoor terrace area.

Beau's is a perfect place to stop for lunch with plenty of interior and exterior seating. They offer limited sandwich options but there are extremely flavorful. A wide variety of uniquely named beers to drink onsite or bring home. A live band entertains some afternoons. You might get lucky and meet Magna, their sweet rescue dog.

Beau's has been my favourite brewery for the last decade. Finally experiencing the brewery in-person was an absolute pleasure. The bar staff were attentive and detailed in their description of the beers, making appropriate recommendations based on my stated preferences. The highlight of the day was tasting the beers which are not widely available (& not sold in any LCBO or Beer Store). I sampled a flight of 4 which included: Night Märzen, Double Juiced, Curse of Knowledge, and Gravity Well. My ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE was Curse of Knowledge. This is one of the best brews I have ever enjoyed! Beau's was unfortunately sold out of this brew (but I can understand why) so I purchased my go-to beer, Wonder Crush. Looking forward to finding an opportunity to go back to see if I can get my hands on some Curse of Knowledge. I highly recommend spending an afternoon at Beau's Brewery.

Came here on our way to Montreal to break up the drive a bit. What a cool stop off of the highway. The staff was very friendly and their outdoor patio is extremely inviting with the vines growing all over it. Our daughter loved the tractors and that she was allowed to play on them. Beer selection was pretty good, though I was hoping for something darker. Their artwork on the beer labels is pretty good, made it pretty tempting to buy a shirt. We got an amber and a Juiced AF. Both were quite good, perfect for the warm weather. I definitely would come back.

Awesome pit stop. Had some food like chips and sandwiches but maybe there is more on the menu. Patio was great. Nice facilities and staff too. Oh and Beaus on tap is 100 percent better than cans in store speaking personally. I can't explain it but their beer in house tastes so fresh.

Today, Beaus. Need I say more? Beau's had us over for a full tasting and experience at their brewery and it was one of the most incredible brew-day I had in a long time. Laura, their taproom manager was so friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and service oriented, she herself made the experience a 5 star one. The products are amazing. Beaus really worries about the quality of the beers they brew and are very cautious about how the whole process in their facilities. The brewery is impeccable, super clean. Their Halcyon Barrel aged beers are very creative and unique in taste. I am so happy I spent the afternoon at Beau's with my peeps. Definitely a top experience I cannot wait to repeat! Thank you Beaus! Thank you Laura! ///// Aujourd'hui, Beaus. Est-ce que j'ai besoin d'en dire plus? Beaus nous a reçu pour une expérience et dégustation complète à leur brasserie et c'était de loin une des meilleures journée-bière que j'ai eu depuis longtemps. Laura, leur gestionnaire de bar était gentille, accueillante, informée et orientée à fournir un excellent service client. Son service a rendu l'expérience une journée 5 étoiles. Les produits sont extraordinaires. Beaus se préoccupe de la qualité des bières brassées et fait prend de grandes précautions tout le long du processus de brassage. Leurs bières Halcyon Barrel barriquées sont créatives et toutes uniques. Je suis heureuse d'avoir passé mon après-midi chez Beaus avec les miens.

Had a wonderful river rafting experience! They took us on about a 20 minute bus ride to the rafting spot, where we were given all the necessary safety gear and clear instructions on paddling and safety. The boat had about 8-10 people plus an instructor who guided us throughout. The whole experience was exciting, well-organized, and so much fun.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Leading up to the event, some of my friends were concerned about the weather so I reached out and the communication was quick and clear. All our questions were answered. Facilities are nice and the whole experience was smooth, we all had a great day! One issue however is some of the jokes felt inappropriate for the crowd (there were kids). In addition, some of my friends didn't feel comfortable with the comments that were made to them. Other than that everything was great.

Unforgettable Adventure with Nouveau Monde – Jonathan Was Exceptional! What an epic experience! Our day with Nouveau Monde Rafting was nothing short of exhilarating, and the memories will stay with us forever. The rapids were wild, the scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience was incredibly well-organized and safe—yet full of adrenaline. But what truly made it next level? Jonathan. From start to finish, he was an absolute legend—calm, funny, encouraging, and deeply knowledgeable. You could feel his passion for the river and for giving guests the best possible adventure. His energy was contagious, and his leadership turned a great day into an exceptional one. If you're even thinking about rafting in Quebec—stop thinking and book with Nouveau Monde. And if you’re lucky enough to get Jonathan as your guide, prepare for a ride you’ll never forget. Thank you for the thrills, the laughs, and the pure joy. We'll be back for more!

We had an amazing experience at Rafting Nouveau Monde! Our guide, Arine, was absolutely fantastic. As the only English-speaking group in our batch, we really appreciated how she made sure all the briefings were done in both French and English so we felt fully included and comfortable. She struck the perfect balance between fun and safety, making sure we had a great time on the water. The hospitality at the facility was also top-notch. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, which made the whole day even better. Highly recommend this place for an unforgettable rafting adventure!

Great ski resort. The best part of it is ..very less crowded as compared to rest of the famous ones. The prices are affordable too as compared to others. They have bunny hill and learning center to practice as well as high mountain ranges for pro skiing. They also have snow tubing, snowboarding activities. There is a cute lodge where you can enjoy food, coffee after tiring activities. Definitely recommend this place

Nice family ski area, with reasonable lift tickets. 1,200 vertical. Lift system is dated, but it helps keep the lift ticket prices down. Good snowmaking and grooming. Nothing challenging for advanced skiers, but it is just a fun area. Skiing the way it was meant to be and used to be, a throw back area and that is what I loved about it. I now ski the west, but Titus is like going back in a time machine to my roots in skiing and that is not a bad thing.

Great place for beginner to intermediate skiing / snowboarding! Good size mountain and lots of groomed trails. Not many natural bumps to jump off (my favorite), but the terrain park is great! Definitely worth the visit!

Area was wide and had plenty to do. Staff was friendly and terrain park was good. Wish lifts had rests for your feet but it's not too bad. Make sure to get a good look at the map as it tends to get flat here and there. Overall good I'd recommend.

Lots of nice trails. Lifts are a little rough and fast , staff was ok, but not so friendly as you would expect from the "most family friendly ski resort"

Brought the family up from Florida and had an awesome experience. Everyone was super kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. Ski school was perfect for our kids who never skied before. Had them up and running in no time. We stopped at Whiteface the day before and it was beautiful but super crowded and busy. It would have been very difficult with 2 novices. Overall awesome experience at Titus, we would definitely come back.

Finnegan's Market

Flea & Street Markets
Iconic seasonal Saturday flea market featuring vendors selling crafts, produce, antiques & more.
Great for the curious and the curios. People watching delight and a great way to spend an afternoon with friends family and pets. If you collect anything you'll probably find something to add to your collection. Everyone is friendly as well and enjoy explaining their items to you. Bring cash! Although a short distance away you can find an ATM at the garage, and some merchants will accept debit or visa but best to have cash. And tones of cash if you're anything like me.

I use to come here every summer but it has been harder the last couple of years. Finally had a chance to return and the market has changed so much! I prefer what it was like before. More great antiques and less over priced junk.. and I noticed that there is a lot more newer crafty items than past years... Some of the crafty items are super original and really well made. I was truly impressed. Overall, if I compare it to the times I went a few years back, I was a little disappointed but over all I had a pretty decent time.

Love this market ! Great way to spend a day out of the city. If you enjoy antiques, vintage things, old kitchenware or furniture, handmade products, homemade food..or even dogs (cause they're everywhere♡)... The owners are amazing too. You will love the place! Go check out Pete in front of the cantine. He has an impressive collection of kitchenware and deco !

Very nice place to go. The view is magnificent. You have lots of stuff to see if you want to go there for the first time. My suggestion, choose early morning because if not you'll suffer from heat. There are lots of nice things to see. The prices are mostly affordable and the people there are extremely nice and easygoing. You'll have fun there.

Can't wait to go back. Today was my first time. I didn't get to see all the kiosks but what I saw I LOVED. This would be a 10 out of 5 stars. Get there early as parking fills up really fast. Wear proper shoes for walking. Bring lots of $$$ YOU won't regret it. There are bathrooms and out houses. Food, gems, and treasurers to be found. When your done take a scenic drive around Hudson qc. Beautiful!

Sommet Saint Sauveur is a popular ski resort in Eastern Canada, offering a variety of runs suitable for all skill levels and night skiing. The area features more than 13 ski resorts, including Ski Morin Height, Chantecler, and Belle Neige. The resort is well-maintained with friendly staff and great lodge facilities. It benefits from its location surrounded by three lakes, allowing for ample snow production.
We went to hike the mountain in the fall to see the colours. The trail is easy to find and well maintained. It is about 30 for adults but we dit it in 45 minutes with a 2 and a 4 year old. It is also accessible in chairlift at a cost during the weekend. The top offers a great view of the surrounding area the viis also. Ice going up.

The conditions for night skiing were pretty good. Lighting is excellent. It was snowing so there was fresh powder over hard packed but lots of mogul because end of day which not good for beginners. This is getting more common in the last few years. Washrooms cafeteria boutique parking and other facilities are good but for ticket purchase there was a 40 minute lineup at 5 PM as 1 booth only was open.

Had an incredible experience at Le Sommet Saint-Sauveur! The online booking process was seamless, and picking up our lift tickets and gear was quick and hassle-free. I absolutely loved their automated card reading system on the mountain—it really adds to a smooth, streamlined experience. The gear quality was excellent, and everything looked brand new, which was a pleasant surprise. Even though not all the trails were open, there was plenty of snow for an amazing first visit this season, so I can’t complain. I’m excited to come back again after exploring a few other resorts. Highly recommended!

Absolutely the worst experience at this water park. Their rules are completely inconsistent and discriminatory. First, they told us shorts and a sports bra weren’t allowed (even though nothing about this is mentioned on their website or at booking). Then, we bought clothes for swimming directly from their own shop after specifically asking for swim-appropriate wear. Shockingly, they still refused to let us in, claiming those clothes were not allowed either. Meanwhile, countless other people inside the park were wearing the exact same type of outfits, but since they were in big groups, staff didn’t dare say anything to them. This is blatant unfairness and bias. If you want to run a professional establishment, make your rules clear upfront, update your website, and most importantly, apply them equally to everyone. Instead, this park chooses to harass and humiliate people randomly while turning a blind eye to others. Total waste of money, zero professionalism, and an experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Avoid this place unless you enjoy being singled out, mistreated, and ripped off.

The parc is totally chaos and unorganized. They sell unlimited number of tickets for a day, while their capacity is limited. And when they cannot provide the service for the sold tickets they say you can come back another day!!! Like the parc is behind our house everyday we go and use our ticket. You buy online ticket to not waste your time for staying in line, but here you have to stay one hour in line to get your bracelet for your online ticket!! At 6:30pm they told us we cannot use our ticket for the L'Odyssée du Viking and should come back another day to use it 😂😂.

I was having the time of my life until I sprained my knee! I thought I could get off the hill but I definitely couldn’t! Antoine and Emma came to my rescue and I couldn’t be more thankful! Antoine was so reassuring and nice to me! I was really embarrassed and upset by the whole thing but he made me feel a lot better. The rescue service was 10/10 and very professional! I wouldn’t have wanted to sprain my knee anywhere else 🤣 Thanks so much to both of them!

I ski at Saint-Sauveur at least once every year and it always has been an amazing experience. There’s lots of tracks available with various difficulties. They also have many lifts once of which is a 6 seater. On a sunny day, skiing at Sommet Saint-Sauveur pure fun.

Zoo
Nature & Parks
Located in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, the Ecomuseum Zoo is a year-round nature park showcasing 115 native animal species from Quebec's Saint Lawrence Valley. This outdoor zoo offers a unique and natural experience for visitors to observe animals such as Black Bears, Woodland Caribou, River Otters, Turtles, Canada Lynx and Eagles.
Is a great place to walk around; wasn't too busy when I went for 10am. All doors were big enough for a double big bike stroller. Great place for learning and little play areas. They also had a picnic section which was really nice.
Maygan V — Google review
My family and I had a great visit. We were happy to see a zoo, where animals were living in habitats very close to their natural environment. We were able to see a large amount of the animals on a very hot day. Some of the animals were trying to cool off in the shade and we were unable to see them. I am thankful that the zoo has the animals in habitats where they can avoid the rain and the sun if they need it. Great location I would go again. There are also a ton of swings obstacles and things for young kids to play while walking through the zoo. My kids absolutely loved seeing exhibits getting to climb a jungle Jim seeing exhibit getting to go on a swing seeing more exhibits than going through a maze.

This zoo is a well-maintained facility with a thriving ecosystem that prioritizes animal welfare. Many of the animals are rescued or adopted, and the zoo's location is both family-friendly and entertaining. The staff takes great care of the animals and wildlife, making it a must-visit destination.
Mr. A — Google review
This place is nice but i feel like some things need to be added to enhance the visitor experience. The one animal we really wanted to see that day was the bear, and unfortunately after around 30 mins of waiting we never saw one. I understand that this isn't a typical zoo but maybe giving out information to visitors about the times each animal is more likely to be visible would be nice. Or offering discounts when some animals don’t seem to be visible for a long time. At the end of the day, yes this zoo is not like other traditional zoos but visitors come mainly to see the animals. We didn’t see a couple more animals but oh well it’s okay. Once again this zoo lets the animals rest whenever they want so it’s okay to not see all animals but maybe having a schedule for the most probable times animals aren't asleep would be good. On another note, It’s one of the best kept animal places I've been to. They really seem to care for the animals. With all the play stations i feel like it’s perfect for families with kids. I personally didn't see one but maybe adding a cafe or a mini snack station would be nice for visitors, if there isn’t already one. Over all, it was nice to visit this place but once is enough. My favorite section was the reptile section. I have never seen so many different species of turtles in one place.

The Ecomuseum has the greatest staff with some beautiful wildlife and exhibits to see. It takes about an hour and a half to see all the exhibits, but my partner and I stayed longer as we doubled back to see some animals like the racoons, wolves, owls, otters, ravens, and lynx. I had no idea that racoons loved to snooze in trees so much! There is also an array of animals throughout the walk that you can see as well; there were cardinals, chickadees, juncos, swallows, and squirrels. This is a trail that you can free-roam, and going on a Saturday morning proved to be very quiet and peaceful. We met an employee on the trail named Natalia and her personality and kindness was greatly appreciated. She ended up sharing some information about local wildlife and the zoo itself before showing us the racoon exhibit. Natalia, along with the entire staff were so friendly and it really meant a lot to us. We can see from their attitude that they truly care for these animals. The exhibits themselves are also very spacious and open. All the wildlife here from what I understand are rescues, and it's comforting to know they're in good hands with a clean, open environment to safely habitate. The zoo also has demonstrations and sessions on specific days, so keep an eye out for that if you ever decide to take a trip there. There's plenty to do for children as there are multiple playground areas and the zoo makes it very easy to gain information and learn about the wildlife in Quebec. The kids who came across our path during our time here were very respectful of the animals, which is great to see as we need more of that. We didn't have as much time to take in the reptile and amphibian exhibit, but from the quick pass we made, they had some beautiful snakes, frogs, newts, salamanders, and turtles. Their gift shop was also very nice with an abundance of selection from clothing to jewelry, and books to art - a fantastic way to support the zoo and raise awareness about the wonders of nature and wildlife. This is an amazing place to visit and a very quick drive from downtown Montreal.

Visited Ecomuseum Zoo with my family. You can either buy a ticket on-site or from MTL passport. We bought MTL Summer 2025 passport for 2 adults and 3 kids. We just showed our MTL bar code at the reception entrance and we started our journey with my family. We were lucky to see Canada Lynx (sleeping when we saw), Fisher, American Black Bear 🐻 (video attached), Raccoon 🦝, White Tailed Deer 🦌, Common Raven 🐦‍⬛, Wild Turkey 🦃, some birds 🦢, Turtle 🐢 pond, Coyote, Golden Eagle 🦅 (video attached), Barred Owl 🦉, American Crow, Turkey Vulture (video attached) and North American River Otter 🦦 (video attached). My kids loved this zoo. Staffs were kind and helped with navigation of the zoo. They also have a gift shop to buy Ecomuseum zoo merchandise. Worth visiting this zoo with family during summer time.

Fun place to visit with kids. The enclosures are large and realistic to actual Quebec environments and the animals seem well treated, although you may have to look harder for them than at the typical zoo. Tickets are a bit pricey for the zoo's size but it remains worth a visit nonetheless.

A great zoo 30 min drive from downtown, the enclosures all seem fantastic. While many animals were asleep I still saw nearly all of them. Even saw the lynxs hunting. Worth the visit and support. Seems like a great spot to bring kids

While the selection may not be vast, it offers enough variety to keep you engaged as you stroll through its clean and inviting spaces. Families will find plenty of options for all ages here.

I visit this mall at least twice a year, and in my opinion, it surpasses the shopping centers in the city, offering better discounts. However, I've noticed that sometimes prices are higher than those found online for the same brand. For instance, Coach bags are often cheaper and more diverse when purchased online. Nevertheless, there's something to be said for the tactile experience of browsing in-person. The atmosphere, especially during the New Year's season, is electric. While you may not find exceptional discounts, the excitement and energy of the crowd make for a truly enjoyable and spectacular experience. It's definitely worth a visit.

I really enjoyed visiting Premium Outlets Montréal! It’s a clean, modern place with lots of great stores — everything from Nike and Adidas to Coach and Levi’s. The atmosphere feels nice and open, and it’s easy to walk around. What I thought was super cool is that they even have a little train for kids that goes around the outlet — it costs about $7, and the kids looked like they were having so much fun! It’s such a nice touch for families. Parking was easy to find, and the area felt safe and well-maintained. Prices vary by store, but I did find some good deals. It’s a great spot for a day trip, especially if you go during a sale or nice weather. I’d definitely come back again

Spa Le Finlandais is a large Nordic spa in North America that offers a multi-sensory experience with various saunas, thermal baths, Arctic baths, Nordic waterfall, and a unique bubble experience. The spa provides a secluded and modern atmosphere perfect for romantic visits during sunset or at night when the lights come on. Guests can enjoy saunas, steam rooms, pools, and resting areas as part of the thermal experience.
Affordable and beautiful spa! Me and my boyfriend came here after hearing my coworkers rave about it, we were not disappointed. Clean facilities and many different saunas with differing temperatures and experiences so you'll definitely find one to enjoy. I came thinking I wouldn't enjoy the saunas since I've never been a fan of them but I loved the one where you go into the rock sauna with the audio and projection as well as the Japanese and Scandanavian saunas. The only problem we encountered was in the morning with the pipes not working but it was quickly fixed. We went for 4 hours for roughly for $62 each with taxes which was the perfect amount of time. We left feeling rejuvenated and destressed. Highly recommend!

I’ve been coming to Spa Finlandais for years and I really do appreciate the new additions and upgrades, they’ve done a great job modernizing the space while keeping the relaxing vibe. That said, one thing that’s become an issue is the overbooking. It often feels overcrowded, especially during peak times, which takes away from the tranquil experience. They really need to consider capping the capacity or managing bookings more strategically. Another point is cleanliness,while the spa is generally well kept, having more staff dedicated to maintaining the common areas throughout the day would make a big difference especially the changing rooms. Lastly, the tea offered is a definitely a hit but the food options are quite limited and not the best in terms of quality. I’d love to see more variety and healthier, better prepared meals in the future. Still a beautiful spot, just hoping for a few improvements to bring it back to its full potential.

I absolutely love this spa! Toronto/Ontario needs to do better and incorporate more variety like this at the spas there! I love all the different styles of the rooms here, the Temazcal was my favourite! There’s just so many different sauna rooms, hot tubs, cold plunges, relaxing rooms with different themes! So worth it!

✨️Beautiful experience✨️ A lot of people recommend me to try this spa location and didn't regret to finally give a try ! It's worth the trip to have a relaxing activity because this location offer several different kind of pool. From Antarctica cold pool to hot sauna, I had the opportunity to try them all during my few hours stay ! It's a clean well maintained place, they always make sure that it's all clean and there is no trash ❤️ I absolutely love the decor there, the beautiful fountains, the mini lake, the furniture / the swimming pool they had to offer and that each pool had different heat/cold 🫶 The food on the other hand, it taste average imo. For the price it costed, it's not something that I feel like it's worth to try. The pokebowl tuna taste ok, portion wise I feel like they weren't so generous barely had any fish or salad which was a bit of a bummer 🥲 The charcuterie plate was good, portion wise was ok 👍 The soup of the day was pretty delicious ❤️then the quiche was yummy, the pizza mageritha taste alright didn't had much cheese/ mostly felt like if I was eating bread than a pizza, the chicken sandwich was great but again wish had a bit more proteins in it 🥲 the salad & couscous was delicious ! Really like it!! 🥗 the tartelette lemon was a such nice light dessert 😋 The coffee, cocktails and tea was great ❤️ However, for the price we paid for , I don't think it's worth it personally. Overall, lovely activity to go at but the food is just average for me (*´・ω・) Will come back again for sure !! Mainly for the sauna & the spa 💧

My friend celebrated her birthday at Spa Finlandais and we had such a great time! Even though we didn’t arrive together, the receptionist somehow knew I was the guest my friend was waiting for — super attentive! Since it was her birthday, they even offered us complimentary robes, which was such a thoughtful touch. The spa itself is really nice, with so many options and experiences inspired by different cultures. The staff were also really patient and understanding, even when things got a little loud (birthday energy 😅). They still managed to keep everything running smoothly and made us feel welcome the whole time. Thanks to the Spa Finlandais team for the amazing hospitality and helping make my friend’s birthday so special! 💆🏽‍♀️🎉

We really loved our experience at Spa Finlandais. It is more expensive compared to other spas in the Montreal area, but it has the largest selection of pools, saunas and relaxing rooms. Our favorite rooms were the eucalyptus steam rooms. The day beds by the main pool fill up at noon. We definitely recommend this spa.

Rodo S — Google review
I visited Spa Le Finlandais today with my partner, and I left feeling deeply disappointed, frustrated, and honestly a bit ripped off. This was my first time, and it will without a doubt be my last. For a place that positions itself as a premium wellness destination, the experience was shockingly underwhelming and far below even basic expectations. Let’s start with parking. We arrived before 10 a.m., thinking we were early enough to avoid any hassle, but there were only a handful of parking spots on-site. All were already taken. We were forced to park nearly a 10-minute walk away, which would be mildly annoying at a shopping mall but is absolutely ridiculous for a spa that claims to offer relaxation. Not how you wants to begin a supposedly peaceful spa day. At reception, things went from inconvenient to outright cold. The hostess didn’t even look us in the eye. No greeting, no warmth, no directions, and certainly no welcome. Her tone was mechanical, as though she was reading off a script she didn’t care about. “Do you have a booking?” That was it. When we responded that we did, she simply asked if we needed towels and how we wanted to pay. She handed us our bracelets and that was the end of the interaction. No explanation about the facilities, no recommendations, no orientation. I’ve had more pleasant and helpful interactions renewing my driver’s license. I was genuinely shocked to find out that towels and bathrobes are not included in the price. For a spa, this felt cheap and unprofessional. These are not optional luxuries; they are basic necessities at any self-respecting spa. Charging extra for them felt like nickel-and-diming guests in a place that already commands premium pricing. We made our way to the outdoor area, hoping to salvage the experience with some fresh air and a snack. Unfortunately, the bar outside was closed. When I politely asked a staff member if it would open later in the day, he barely acknowledged me and simply said “No” before walking away. No further explanation, no alternative suggestion, just pure indifference. Now let’s talk about the actual spa facilities, which were in poor condition and frankly unhygienic. The baths had floating cups and a couple of them even masses of dead leafs and I spotted more than a few dead flies. Some pools had rusted bits on bars and else, which was just disturbing. The whole place felt neglected and poorly maintained, which is not only off-putting but unacceptable for a place that markets itself as a relaxation retreat. There was little ambiance, no sense of care, and certainly no attention to the customer experience. It felt more like a neglected public pool than a luxury spa. For the price they charge, you would expect at least the basics: cleanliness, hospitality, and a serene atmosphere. Sadly, none of those were delivered. To sum it up, Spa Le Finlandais failed on all fronts. Poor service, lack of amenities, dirty facilities, and an overall sense of indifference from the staff. I will not be returning, and I absolutely do not recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing or high-quality spa experience
