Turkey Point Provincial Park

Nature & Parks
Public beach
Nestled in the charming village of Turkey Point, Turkey Point Provincial Park is a hidden gem that offers an array of outdoor activities and natural beauty. This unique park stands out as Ontario's only provincial park featuring a golf course, making it a perfect destination for both relaxation and recreation. Visitors can enjoy spacious car campsites that provide privacy and tranquility, especially during the off-peak season when crowds are minimal.
Perfect Beach for Dog Lovers and Shallow Water Fun! Turkey Point is hands down one of the best beaches I’ve visited, especially if you love shallow water and want a peaceful, low-wave experience. The water stays shallow for such a long stretch, making it perfect for wading and playing, especially with my dog. I love how I can play in the water while my dog swims around—it’s ideal for both of us to enjoy. The calm water and gentle waves make it a relaxing spot for families and pet owners. Highly recommend Turkey Point for a laid-back beach day with your furry friend!

The camping spot we were in at the provincial park was very spacious, providing ample room for our setup. While it's not close to the beach, you can reach it with a 10-15 minute walk. Unfortunately, the comfort station was disgusting and smelled awful, clearly very poorly maintained. On a positive note, there was plenty of area for kids to play around.
Vinisha D — Google review
Turkey Point Beach is beautiful! Great location with calm water, less bugs than expected (fewer flies and mosquitos). Parking can be crowded and isn't free near the main area, but there's free parking near the cottages on the far end.
Jeena K — Google review
A warm shallow beach with medium soft brown sand that is relatively hard packed. It's quite clean, has shaded spots, not a lot of crowds, beach food restaurants across the road, vault toilets etc. The main park and beach are two different properties. The park has decent camping in an established forest.

Turkey Point Provincial Park is located in Turkey Point, Ontario, and is part of the Ontario Parks system. A very nice park for camping with friends and family. Well maintained park and have electricity supply at the campsites, and cars can be parked in the campsite. There are bathrooms and toilets close to the campsites and good, but depends on how people use them. This place very close to Turkey Point beach on the shore of lake Erie. It is a very clean sand beach with clear water, good for a walk or play in the sand or swimming at own risk. There are few restaurants along side of the road, and can a beer with the beautiful view of the beach. Not too crowded, at least when I was here and was very pleasant in the evening while the sun set. Had a very good time and experience at this beach and at the provincial park overnight camp. Prepared our own barbeque with bonfire and lot of talking with friends. Patrolling is done by the park management to ensure safety of the campers and to avoid any issues.

Nice white sandy beach. The water was clear and great for a swim. Many ice cream places nearby. There are portable toilets and handwash stations available.
Han N — Google review
This is a nice and clean campground. The spots are not very private and closer together than average. But they are large plots though with space enough for 3 tents and eating areas. Not enough of the nice toilet and comfort stations, the compost toilets can get gross fairly quickly. Friendly staff and helpful. Wood is wet to buy. But it's biggest attraction is that it is close to an amazing beach with flowing sand and shallow water. Can be crowded but stretch out to find quieter spots. Parking is free for park pass holders which is nice. Great park.

Sightseeing Tours
Long Point Eco-Adventures Resort & Retreat Centre offers a unique eco-friendly experience in Turkey Point, near Lake Erie. The resort provides various accommodation options, including petite pod cabins for two, luxurious Wilderness Suites for four, and a spacious 4-bedroom log cabin. Guests can enjoy activities such as zip-lining, biking, hiking, wetlands tours, apiary tours, and stargazing at the night-sky observatory.
An excellent experience. The Wilderness suites were well equipped and cozy. I was a bit surprised how close together they were - It didn't really impact our experience, but be aware that your neighbors are going to be close. The restaurant was exceptional with a great menu and super attentive and personable servers. The local beers were also a highlight.
Ian Y — Google review
We stayed at the deluxe pod for 2 nights, and overall, it was a great experience! The pods were cozy, and we really appreciated that firewood was provided at no cost - it made the evenings extra relaxing. The property is beautiful, with over 90 km of trails for walking or biking, and there’s a winery right across the street. There are plenty of adventure activities available at an extra cost. Although we felt that they are a bit overpriced (biking, kayaking, zip line, spa, etc) . The food at the Marsh View Patio was fantastic - we had the braised ribs and a salad, and both were absolutely delicious! One thing to note: if you’re traveling with babies or young kids, there isn’t much in terms of activities for them like playground. Overall, a wonderful spot for couples or adults with older kids looking for outdoor adventures and relaxation!
Alena S — Google review
Fantastic spot - totally exceeded expectations - the website does not do justice to how great it is. The overnight units (cabins and yurts) are well designed, clean and equipped including bed warming pads for the autumn time. The grounds are well maintained and the view from the trails and restaurant are exceptional esp. at sunrise/sunset. trails are lovely for hiking or biking and they've got some GREAT Rocky Mountain bikes to rent. ziplining was fun & the Joro hot/cold spa/sauna/plunge was really fun - owner was super helpful and kind with showing us how to 'adjust' the cold plunge well. all around fabulous experience

Had a great experience with my family. Lots of great outdoor activities like hiking. It is also really close to Turkey Point beach. My son really enjoyed the observatory. My wife and I really liked the Joro Outdoor Spa. The Marshview Patio & Bar on site had excellent food. All the staff were really friendly. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for something outdoorsy without the worry of getting soaked in a tent.

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

Nestled in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Long Point Eco-Adventures offers immersive eco tours through the scenic Turkey Point Marsh and Carolinian forest. Visitors can zipline across treetops, kayak down Big Creek, and hike over 90 km of trails teeming with wildlife like bald eagles and rare songbirds. The resort blends adventure with comfort, featuring glamping accommodations such as deluxe pods and wilderness suites with private fire pits and outdoor showers. Stargazing is a highlight, thanks to Ontario’s second-largest telescope, offering breathtaking views of the night sky. After a day of exploration, guests can unwind at the Marshview Patio, savoring local wines and dishes like dill pickle grilled cheese with panoramic marsh views.

5 of us did the zip-lining. Ages 10-44. Our guides were Tori and Nate. They were both excellent! They played well off each other and always kept us informed, entertained and engaged. Safety always top priority. I was very impressed by Tori when she answered my question on line tensile strength without missing a beat! Lots of fun had by all. Highly recommend. We also had lunch at Marshview afterwards. Excellent food, atmosphere and view.
Philip K — Google review
Here is such a hidden-gem place where you find a lot of amusement like zipline, stargazing, hiking, kayaking, ax throwing, you name it. Overall, it could worth five stars. But, program cancellation on-site without earlier notification and full refund but leaving credits on your account instead makes a lot of frustration. Personally, I don't mind making another trip, but just feeling totally unsatisfied with the way of their business practices.

Burning Kiln Winery

Mentioned on

Winery
Food & Drink
Burning Kiln Winery is located in Norfolk County, near Lake Erie and the UNESCO World Biosphere of Long Point. The winery has a rich history, as it was once a tobacco farm before being transformed into an award-winning winery. Visitors can enjoy tasting flights, meet the winemaker, and even stay overnight at the lovingly restored farmhouse on the estate. The property offers stunning views of the vineyards and surrounding area.
We had such a wonderful experience thanks to Mac, whose excellent service truly stood out. He connected with us right away, reading our preferences effortlessly and offering spot-on recommendations. We later learned he had just graduated from teachers college—no surprise there! His attentiveness, ease with people, and natural ability to engage will no doubt make him a fantastic teacher wherever he goes. Mac went above and beyond, quickly offering water for our fur baby who joined us at our outdoor table, and was just as prompt with small touches like extra lemons, limes, and condiments that made our dining experience even more enjoyable. We loved everything we ordered, especially the Fire Grilled Skewer Platter, which Mac mentioned was his favourite—and it didn’t disappoint! The chicken, shrimp, and pork were grilled to perfection and beautifully seasoned, complemented by house-made sauces and a fresh sumac salad. We also enjoyed the Cranberry Blue Salad, a refreshing mix of greens, blue cheese, candied walnuts, and cranberries in a delicious raspberry vinaigrette, and the Chef’s Salad, a bold and spicy mix of roasted peanuts, red onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and chili with a zingy peppered lemon vinaigrette. Thank you, Mac, for your warm hospitality and thoughtful service. We left full, happy, and looking forward to returning!

The wine and Anita’s suggestions were superb. Thank you Mack and Anita for a wonderful evening.

We had an amazing time at Burning Kiln Winery! We started with a wine tasting with Cathy - she really knew her stuff and taught us how to taste properly. The wines we sampled were all delicious! We then walked around the gorgeous property and ended at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the service from Ashley was great as well. Would love to come back next time I’m in the area!

This is the Back Kitchen Restaurant review. We visited this restaurant yesterday for an early dinner at 5 PM and had a wonderful experience. We made a reservation, were promptly greeted and seated, and the staff was amazing. This was our second visit — the first time we stopped in by chance during a road trip along Lake Erie for lunch. Back then, my friend had the fish and chips (delicious!) and I tried the poke bowl, which was ok but not nearly as outstanding as the fish and chips. On our second visit, we all ordered fish and chips and couldn’t have been happier. The fish was perfectly crispy, it was huge!, served with fries, dipping sauce, and fresh coleslaw — everything was just perfect. We also ordered the cranberry salad, which was fresh and tasty. Overall, the food and service have been excellent both times. The restaurant is on the patio, they have shaded areas. Hands down, the best fish and chips I’ve had in Ontario. Highly recommend! Overall the property is lovely with picnic tables, grassy areas and a little pond to enjoy, and wine shop. Lovely little spot to visit.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. What really stood out was the exceptional service. Our server, Josh, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly taken care of. He checked in at just the right times and made great recommendations. It’s rare to find a place that combines amazing food with top-notch service. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others!

We swung by to grab some lunch and tastings and were blown away by how good the Fish and Chips and the BBQ meat platter were. The fish and chips were so light and crispy and I wad amazed by how well the pickerel held up. The meat platter was perfectly grilled and all the meats were still moist. We wil definitely return if we come by that area again.

Bell Homestead National Historic Site

Mentioned on 
20 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Bell Homestead National Historic Site, located in Brantford, is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. It was the former home of Alexander Graham Bell and is where he invented the telephone in 1874. The site offers guided tours, interactive exhibits, and educational trips that provide insight into Bell's life and achievements. Visitors can also enjoy family activities and private rentals at this beautifully preserved house-museum.
Visited the homestead on Family Day 2025 and my family and I had a great time. Brian, the tour guide, was informative and very knowledgeable. He had an answer for every question we had. He also was very patient with our two year old son who didn’t grasp the hands off concept at first. We visited right after a bad winter storm and the pathways around the property were very clear and safe.

We had the pleasure of visiting Bellstead in Brantford, and it was truly one of the most enriching and memorable experiences we’ve had in Canada. Standing in the very place where Alexander Graham Bell lived and where the world’s first long-distance phone call was made felt nothing short of magical. The house is beautifully preserved, and the storytelling throughout the tour brought history to life in the most engaging way. A special note of appreciation goes to our guide — a kind and knowledgeable lady (I believe her name is Katie / she’s also featured in our pictures posted here) — who patiently answered every question and took the time to ensure everyone in the group felt involved and informed. Her passion for history truly made the tour unforgettable. For anyone interested in innovation, history, or simply a quiet, meaningful outing, Bellstead is a must-visit. Thank you for preserving this treasure and for making our visit so special.

Visited the site during 2025 Victoria Day long weekend. We were blessed as it was a beautiful day with no rain but a slight overcast, so it wasn't too hot either! Countryside is always beautiful and a treat for the eyes. It is a quaint neighborhood, and I'm always curious how people in these small towns spend their time. Whereas we living in the main city/downtown literally have everything at a short walking distance! Spring and summer are the six months where most Canadians make the most of outdoor activities.
Munazzah M — Google review
I thought this would be a quick 10–15 minute stop at a small historic place, but I was pleasantly surprised! The visit included a fascinating 1.5 hours guided experience covering Bell’s life, the invention of the telephone, and the evolution of early communication technology. Every minute was engaging, and the stories truly brought history to life. At just $12.50 for admission, it offered excellent value — highly recommended!
Eric S — Google review
We had such a great time. We did the 5 senses program with my homeschooling group. Friendly and engaged staff. We had to guess which rooms were which based on the hints of what was in the room. The story reading part was fun but too long. Definitely needed to be cut down or some how more interactive. Would love to actually have the kids try an old phone system. The Braille section was far too boring explaining the eye and how it sees differently. Kids were at the end of the tour and getting quite antsy. It's certainly interesting but again needs to be far more interactive/ hands on like a model of the eye or glasses that they can wear that shows different ways people can see. The Art station wasn't what I expected. That was the most disappointing. Painting some sort of landscape would be much more interesting just like Eliza would have. That requires much more work but would flow well with everything offered. Overall it was really good and fun to learn and discover about the Bell homestead. I highly recommend making the trip.

Drove by late night when closed. I thought, let's stop. I'm in town and may as well. It was lovely and an opportunity to dream about the past and the Canadian who invented such a revolutionary tool, serving as a launching pad to the device so many of us carry. He would be so blown away! A beautiful homestead lovingly preserved. Antique lovers will appreciate its ambience. A link to the past, history is a journey back in time. Magic!

It's been in my backyard my whole life but I finally got there with my friends. I was so happy I went. It was worth the drive from out of town to experience and learn about the technology that created the number one item in the world - the telephone. Our tour guide Addison, dressed in period costume was FANTASTIC. He didn't just read a script about Alexander Graham Bell and his family and legacy, he TOLD their STORY. He knew his stuff, and he was able to answer all the questions that were asked. It was engaging, interesting, fact-filled and I enjoyed it throughly. Would recommend booking a time for your tour if you on a schedule. We went in the morning without a booking and had to go and have breakfast, and then go back in the afternoon, but that suited my friends and I just fine. Kids area, lovely grounds. Kudos to all the staff we encountered who were pleasant to deal with.

This was an awesome experience, we loved it all. I booked us in for the one hour guided tour and Katie was an excellent guide, super informative and answered all our questions. The history was intriguing and the family stories were so inviting to learn more. We also enjoyed tea and cake in the Exchange Cafe, which was so yummy. A must visit to learn more and see the home preserved with such historic intrigue. Well done thank you for the experience. Spicy Jan, Tasty Road Trips

Brewery
Food & Drink
Ramblin' Road Brewery Farm offers an alternative to wine with its premium craft beers like Dakota Pearl Ale, Country Pilsner, and Country Lager. Visitors can also enjoy fresh kettle chips alongside their drinks. The brewery has a rich history in food, family farming, and beverages, stemming from Picard Peanuts. It's known for its Quick Six pack featuring Pure Bred Red and Ramblin Roads lager family and IPA.
Today my wife and I went for lunch at Ramblin' Road Brewery Farm. This was my first visit to the brew farm. Thank you to a lot of you posting about their food. Mark Williams for giving me his insight on the food and beer, and Daniel Eynon for his insight from a business stand point why he supports them. I would also like to give a special thank you to our server Brooklyn. She was an absolute pleasure. Skilled, knowledgeable and efficient. She really helped make our overall experience even more wonderful. My wife and I started with a flight, wings, onion ring and their house chips and dip. I had the flight as she was driving and I wanted to try and see if I even can handle the taste of beer or not (I prefer whiskey, scotch, dark rum). Brooklyn helped me pick out a selection to try based on my non existent knowledge and likeness of beer lol. She however helped me learn the parts of beer I don't like and recommended 6 samples to try based off of that. I tasted a sip of each beer. Ranked them in order and by the time I was done my meal there. I had finished 5 out of 6 of the samples. The red was the only one I didn't finish. The wings were crispy and tender. Their house mild sauce made with beer(Roost PurebRED BBQ sauce). was flavourful with smokey notes that weren't overpowering. Everything was well balanced and I wish I ordered more. The onion rings were spot on. They're what I want when ordering an onion ring. The Chips & Dip..... Now listen. I have smashed metric tons of chips and dip in my life time. When I tell you to try the chip dip there. I mean bribe them for extra and thank me later. If I find this on a store shelf. All other brands are done. I want vats of that dip. On top of having one of the best kettle cooked chips on the market. This dip joins forces. Lays and Ruffles better watch their backs. Norfolk's very own is coming out swinging. Oh and if you have any extra dip you don't want. I'll gladly take it off your hands. For our main. We tried a pepperoni pizza, the grilled cheese of the day, soup of the day, beer bread, Red Pepper Express Burger and Ragin Bull corned beef on a bun. My wife loves red pepper jelly. So this burger was her first choice. She let me have a bite. It's a solid well rounded burger. Balance of flavours and textures and my wife had dill pickle seasoned fries with it. She was in her glory. I tried the Ragin Bull. This sandwich from reading it gave off some Katz Deli(New York) vibes. This definitely had that traditional NY deli corned beef sandwich soul to it. I got mine with dijon mustard on it and was very happy. This was not what you might remember growing up. The soup of the day was cream of mushroom soup. I paired it with an order of the beer bread. ate what I could of it as by this time I was getting full. The Grilled cheese was mind blowing. The balance of apple butter with, chicken, bacon, brie, caramelized onion and balsamic vinegar. This needs to be a permanent menu item. Then I managed to try a slice of pizza. I can't do it the justice it deserves as by this time I was so full. I drank beer I didn't know I would like and wish I had 2 more stomachs to try more food and beer lol. But that slice was good. If I ordered beer and pizza while sitting there with friends. That pizza would hit the spot for sure. I also had to hit up the store there as well. Had to get more chips, peanuts and some apparel to wear and represent as many great local businesses as I can.

Usually, this place is awesome, and i have always been a happy customer, but unfortunately, today was extremely disappointing. Was really looking forward to having a chicken burger, but the cook was way off or not feeling it today because the burger was pathetic. Hopefully, they step it up, I did really like this place, but after today, I'm not sure if I will return.

A great brewery with a restaurant upstairs. The food was delicious with lots of menu choices. Some very tasty beer and flight availability. The atmosphere is relaxing and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Bonanza was playing on the TV as it had an old western theme. It was very quiet and some subtle (not country) music would be create a nicer atmosphere.

The burgers, beer, and seltzer were great. The burger was cooked perfectly! On the other hand, the corned beef sandwich was very dry and overcooked. Once seated, it took our server 15 minutes to bring over well as take our drink order. Once we placed our lunch order, it took over an hour to receive our meal. I had to look for someone inside to ask if our order was coming anytime soon. Overall, the burger was great, and we really enjoyed the seltzer. We even bought a few to bring home. The service was very poor on that particular date.

Well worth the drive to the DELHI area through lovely farmlands and RAMBLIN' ROAD is a great reward for your efforts. Great selection of craft beers and a well-stocked store on the lower level. A small but great restaurant called THE ROOST on the second floor. Patio areas outside in the good weather but the restaurant is open all year and serving some GREAT food at very reasonable prices. Their GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH is delicious and melty, the CHICKEN BURGER SPECIAL and the SWISS MELT BURGER were meaty, hearty and looked and tasted homemade. A VERY popular spot and filled up at lunch with many locals so this is definitely a good spot. Hours change during these shoulder/off seasons so check their website or phone to confirm hours so as not to be disappointed.

Ramblin road Brewery is amazing. Had the opportunity to meet Hayley who provided us such a knowledgeable experience. The chip dip is next level. The beer is amazing and I learned so much from Hayley and the crew at Ramblin Road. Highly recommend and would tell anyone to stop by and take the time to learn about the brewery and process. Amazing experience and a great group of people working there. 10/10.

We stopped in for lunch on a mid-September afternoon. The darker beers were best. The amber ale was good and the chocolate porter was too. My wife had a potato beer and was a bit disappointed. The pulled pork and sweet potato fries were great and large enough to be lunch tomorrow. I will return. .

Saw Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hamilton last week. Situated in an revitalized section of Cambridge next to the Grand River. Lots of restaurant choices within walking distance. Theatre could hold just over 500 patrons, and was sold out for this show. Great performances and ice cream at the intermission. Will ansolutely visit again.

One of my favourite theatres. Due to the size there is not a bad seat anywhere. Even to the fat sides you don’t get a blocked view. There is lots of parking and the staff are very kind.

HMCS Ojibwa Museum is a must-visit! The submarine's rich history and detailed tours are fascinating. Excited to hear that starting June 19, it's open 7 days a week from 11am-4pm. Don't miss it - be sure to arrive before 3:40pm for the last tour. Highly recommend exploring this piece of naval history!

We booked tickets online (payment due on visit). I absolutely loved the whole experience. Our guide was so knowledgeable and tour of the vessel was as so informative. It was a hot day and their staff had free water bottles at the entrance for visitors. I will highly recommend visiting and experiencing the submarine.
Kanza A — Google review
Went to visit the HMCS Ojibwa submarine tour. Well worth the money. Book online and pay when you arrive. The tour takes a little more than an hour and the guide was very knowledgable. The sub looks large from the outside but there isn't much living space inside. Hard to believe they jammed up to 70 people inside for months on end. There is a diesel smell inside the sub but I didn't find it too bad. You are allowed to take as many pictures as you want, though in one area of the sub, if you drop your phone or camera you might not get it back. Great fun. Very enjoyable time well spent.

Impressive submarine. You can walk it from one end to the other in an organized tour. Approx 20 CAD a ticket. Not a crowded place. Little restaurants around with patios overviewing the sub. Only approx 2 hours drive from Toronto area.

Wow! An impressive piece of history. A tremendous amount of pride is taken by volunteers and staff to restore/maintain this beautiful lady. Well worth the trip for a guided tour of this vessel. With any luck you may bump into a Canadian Submariner who served on this vessel, I've heard they tend to hang around here frequently 😉. Grab advance tickets online, there are maximums for tours and they do fill up fast.

A definite “must see” if you have any interest in Canadian history or the Canadian navy. It’s a submarine that was used during the Cold War. Our guide, Amanda, really made this an excellent experience! She was very knowledgeable; almost as if she had served on this submarine herself. She has had the good fortune to speak with former submariners who have come to visit and volunteer at this museum.

Port Burwell Provincial Park

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Park
Nature & Parks
Port Burwell Provincial Park is a coastal destination offering campgrounds, a sandy beach with a dog-friendly area, and a kids' playground. The park provides clean bathrooms and well-maintained sites, some of which offer privacy. The wardens are helpful and the maintenance crew is friendly. Although the beach area is outside the park, it's easily accessible by driving down the hill. Additionally, there are flush toilets with sinks and soap in the Alzora campground.
Port Burwell is probably my favourite provincial park in Ontario. I know it doesn’t have a ton of amenities but it is absolutely the best park if you want to be in a quiet calm place. The beach is beautiful and has the best sunsets. Personally I have gone during long weekends then stay a whole week after and it is just the most relaxing place to be! Highly recommend this park if you want to relax in peace and quiet.
Carrie A — Google review
This beach is perfection. It is Sandy and shallow, so perfect for kids! I have so enjoyed coming here. You get a nice view of the sunset, there’s nothing negative to say about the beach! BUT, one huge drawback, the bathrooms are absolutely horrific. You can smell them from a good 15 feet away, and it’s just beyond disgusting. Because of the smell, the bathroom itself is absolutely covered in bugs. It is the only drawback but it’s a really big one. Having to bring your own portable toilet is not something everyone can do, and it’s really rotten that you have to pay to enter and then deal with that kind of smell from the bathrooms. I was under the assumption that provincial parks would take care of restrooms with the high entry fee.

Good and quite place for camping. Campsites are pretty big and beautiful..washrooms are clean and well maintained. Park design is little weird so you have to walk a lot.. suggestions is to carry your bicycles so it becomes little easier to explore. There are 2 small trails.. Beach is pretty clean..you can not take anything from park to your home.neither wooden stick nor a stone ..😄 which is a their rule. Few major attractions near this park are- two museums Light house Huge Submarine Trails Simply scoop ice cream Few places to shop.

I stayed here with my boyfriend over a long weekend for a quick getaway together. Check in was easy, a bit busy when we arrived but it still only took a few minutes. The site we was spacious and private, although not a lot of grass. The fire pit and grate was in great condition (kudos to who ever used it before us). We heard some noisy sites up pretty late both nights, but it didn’t bother us. The store had everything you would need to prevent having to leave the property, even some additional things like games and a lot of things for kids. The day use area was a decent size with a couple of trails leading to the beach. The beach was very big and clean, many staff were there picking up garbage and patrolling to ensure of this. Although, the water was pretty dirty. The comfort stations were very clean, I saw staff cleaning them a couple of times each day. The porta potty/out house styled bathrooms scattered throughout the park I can’t speak on because our site was right beside a comfort station so I never used one (in my experience they have not been very clean at other provincial parks). The ravine creek trail was nice for a quick hike, only took us about 20 mins. The hike to the beach is longer, but not as nice unfortunately. They had a big recreation field with a basket ball net, volleyball nets, disc golf baskets, and a playground. We forgot the fishing poles (which they did have available to rent) but we decided to opt out of fishing, so I cannot speak on that either.

Provincial Parks are usually our go to for camping. First time at Port Burwell. Found this park to be VERY noisy. I was unable to relax with all the excess noise in the area. (numerous dogs barking, people speaking loudly, parties and music until late after midnight). They did not enforce the quiet time hours but were extremely strict with the one car per site rule. The bathroom facilities were maintained yet always seemed dirty/messy. They ran out of hand towels and toilet paper was constantly on the floor. The beach was beautiful. I understand that Provincial parks are no longer "raking" the beaches so there is sticks and seaweed everywhere. But you can't beat the sand, amazing!! Even though the beach was busy, you could always find a place to set up and not feel cramped or crowded. It is a bit of a hike to get to the beach but worth it once you are there. I would suggest taking the car if you have kids and lots of things to carry along. The town is close and within biking distance. The submarine is worth the tour. Very much a "birding" community. I could not believe the number of birdhouses and all the different birds. Awesome to see and read on the dunes preservation in the area. Very nice, definitely worth seeing.

Camped here in May which is their off season. We camped with kids and choose campsite 125 near the playground. Our camp site was clean and shady. Lots of privacy and our family had an enjoyable time. Bathrooms where modern and clean. Gate staff where friendly and helpful. We came here for the Dog Beach and we were not disappointed. Burwell had a small town feeling and it was nice. If you get a chance have breakfast at "Beach Patties" it was top notch.
Ashlee's R — Google review
Great Provincial Park - But i likely will not return for the following reasons. 1. The washrooms in the park are disgusting. They need to be upgraded and maintained. 2. The washrooms in the beach are TEN times as worse. I am almost throwing up thinking about it. 3. I wish they had a shower at the beach. They have a few taps in the parking lot, but they were either not functional or next to the aforementioned disgusting washrooms. The park itself has ONE shower. It's not obvious unless you ask or look at the map super carefully. It was backlogged no matter what time we went. 4. The beach is a 5 min drive away, the parking is free if you have a campsite but it's a trek both to the beach parking lot and from the lot to the beach. My boys and I still made a great trip out of it, but I wish it wasn't as badly maintained.

The park has something for everyone: walking trails around Silver Lake, picnic areas, sports fields, and even a small zoo area with farm animals. It’s perfect for families, joggers, or just relaxing under the trees. The trails are well-maintained, and parking is free but can fill up fast on weekends. It’s clean, spacious, and has a friendly community vibe all year round.

Nestled on the outskirts of Tilsonburg, Coyle's Country Store is a delightful destination that captures the essence of small-town charm while offering an impressive variety reminiscent of larger retail spaces. Visitors can easily spend hours exploring its aisles filled with unique finds, from journals and stationery to one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts. The store has a knack for evoking nostalgia and creating meaningful moments; shoppers often leave with special items that resonate deeply, like ornaments symbolizing cherished memories.
I cannot explain how happy visiting here makes me feel. The pecans and cashews are to die for. The spices are beyond reasonable and affordable. Amish popcorn turned me into a popcorn snob. The staff are very helpful. The variety of everything is insane. Store is organized and always clean.

St. Jacobs Country Playhouse is a cozy and well-sized theatre located in the southwest of the province. The lobby features a bar and can accommodate most guests, while volunteers help you find your comfortable seats, which offer great sightlines and perfect sound. The parking lot is spacious, and the tickets are reasonably priced for the quality of performances offered.
I recently saw Misery at St. Jacob’s Playhouse and really enjoyed it! The acoustics were excellent, and the intimate size of the theatre means there isn’t a bad seat in the house. I was especially impressed by the clever set design. The way they created the different rooms of the house was so well done. It was also really crafty how they managed Paul’s movement around the stage in his wheelchair during the scenes. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more shows here. If you want to escape the chaos of heading into Toronto and avoid the overpriced tickets of most Mirvish shows, St. Jacob’s Playhouse is a fantastic alternative - great performances, reasonable prices, and a charming local atmosphere.

City park
Local hub for sports & seasonal events, with a river, playground, skate park & picnic facilities.
Pretty awesome park overall. There are lots of geese and ducks that are friendly, too. Designated baseball and soccer fields, lots of benches, and gazebos. Good parking and a skate park as well. Overall, it's the best city park I've been to.

Lovely park, very large. Lots of baseball fields, skate park, memorial garden, decent river running through and waterfowl, splash pad and playground. They hold lots of special events, and July 1st is a great time! However, there is almost no parking for the size. Most of us park on the grass beside the roads, and create parking spots under trees. And parking on the streets outside the park is difficult. It would be great to have better parking.

This is a beautiful park. The park encompasses so much you could spend a day relaxing there. You must watch where you step closer to the river as there are many Canadian Geese and Seagulls there, lol. Definitely don't let it stop you from visiting. I am not from the area but would go just to have a nice day!

Quiet and spacious park to visit. This spot is perfect if you want to have a more low-key area with amazing views. There was an interesting amount of things to see such as the ducks and geese, the small lake and the waterfall rock. Parking isn’t an issue as there’s a good amount of free parking spots.

It was a nice park . This park has lots of activities for your kids. You can have a family time here. This is a huge park You can enjoy quality time here. You will see lots of Canadian goose and few swans in the lake beside this park. It has free parking and washrooms too! Overall a nice experience!

Nice park. Always full of kids easy for children to play with one another. Just watch out for that rolly slide as it has left marks on kids legs and looks like it could possibly pinch fingers. A lot of different activities for all ages even for the younger ones. Has a shaded picnic area with tables. Baseball diamond. Restroom area. Has a pond area as well and floral area with a mini rock water fall.

Clovermead Adventure Farm | Honey Shop

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Children's farm
Sights & Landmarks
Clovermead Adventure Farm is a top adventure farm in Southwestern Ontario, just 35 minutes outside of London. The farm offers a wide range of activities for all ages, including animal encounters, rides, play equipment, and a splash pad. There are plenty of seating areas for adults and well-placed bathroom facilities. Visitors can bring their own picnic lunch or purchase food from vendors on-site.
Great farm. I picked a sunny warm day to visit. Corn maze is fantastic for exercise. Basketball, bowling balls and slides were fun for a 40 year old. Animals were so sweet and entertaining. Would love to see an adult night with local ciders and beer served. Food was ok but flies were relentless. Bathroom was clean. I always miss the pumpkin cannon show. I would love to see adult bikes (tricycles) for use around farm if possible. More selfie stands would be great especially at the Big Fall Fun sign. I go alone to visit the farm each year and it's very geared towards children. Would love a child free day and night each month with painting, wagon rides, vendors, dance (host a radio station to attend and such. Would be fun to see a few options for the child free demographic. Thanks for the fun day outside. Response to owner: I can't reply for some reason to your response about the children being heart broken over 1 day for an adult only event. Sorry for the suggestion. I'm not from your area to organize this but would attend a child free event if it were available. Example: I enjoy East Park Waterpark Adult only events each month of the summer in London. The attendance was alarming because the demographic is so large and often ignored. Single people looking for a place to happen outside of the city is a suggestion. I'll leave that with you to navigate or ignore

Visited Clovermead Farm in Aylmer, Ontario this past Saturday. Tickets were $22 per person online (kids under 2 are free), and parking was huge—seriously, you’ll never worry about finding a spot! Despite the crowd, it didn’t feel overcrowded, which was a pleasant surprise. This place is a hit with families and schools—lots of activities for kids under 10. Some attractions are small (like the ball-hanging activity) or repetitive (several similar slides), but the kids didn’t seem to mind. They had three wagon rides throughout the day; most were just okay, except the shaky cup ride which was fun—and all of them are included in the ticket price. Food-wise, you can bring your own, or try their on-site spots—we grabbed the 6” pizzas, which were fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced. The main reason for the 4 stars: cleanliness. Some areas are really dusty and not well-maintained, especially the “bear place,” which was the dirtiest. I even spotted an insect nest there—pretty concerning with so many young kids running around. I get the rustic farm vibe they’re going for, but it still needs to be child-friendly and safe. Overall, a fun day out for families with young kids, but I hope they step up the upkeep before our next visit.

There’s no way you can fully enjoy everything here at this place. The smash burger and poutine is amazing. All the animals look so well cared for. The family has put so much work and effort into making this place amazing for the Littles to play. The pumpkin show was quite impressive, the Beanery was absolute sensory overload. We watch a young boy with autism have such a wonderful time in there and his mom was able to just enjoy watching him play safely. Overall I’m just impressed with the unlimited amount of things to do.

We had the most amazing time at Clovermead Adventure Farm! From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly and welcoming. There’s so much for kids (and adults!) to do — giant jumping pillows, farm animals to meet, tractor rides, and endless outdoor play areas. Everything is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up for families to explore. My daughter loved the bee- tracker ride and the zip line and could have spent all day on the play structures. It’s such a fun, safe, and educational place that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend for a full day of fresh air, laughter, and adventure!

I was hesitating to buy the tickets because the admission during long weekend is higher than regular day. I placed order online for a discount eventually. There are so many areas to go to and most facilities are well maintained. For the Fall festival decorations were very eye catching. I love they also have giant selfies pole for photo taking. We had a blast here.

What an amazing experience for the family. We missed many of the events having gone on weekday yet we could have spent forever there. So much fun was still had by my wife and I plus our children. The space was cleverly used. The sites were wonderfully designed and interactive. The train tour guy was great. We spent much of our time telling the kids we needed to move along to see/do everything which we still didn't manage. The kids enjoyed everything and my wife and I were able to enjoy each other's company in a fun, beautiful atmosphere. Thank you for all your hard work. We'll definitely be returning.
Thyne — Google review
Took my 7, 4, and 2 year olds for the first time last week and we all LOVED it! Blown away with how many fun and interactive activities there was to do for the kids. They've never played so hard and were pooped when we got in the car again. The favourites were the splash pad, bean pit, feeding the animals, and playing on all of the cool and unique areas. The food was yummy and large portions. Lots of places and shade to cool off from the hot heat that day, too! We will be back for sure! Oh and also, my 4 year old had a puncture wound on his foot from the day before we visited but he didn't tell me about it until we were at Clovermead when he complained he couldn't put weight on his foot while playing. I asked staff for a first aid kit to clean and bandage it and the most friendly and kind staff member helped us out right away. Half way through the day after that she even came and found us to check on him. Amazing, helpful, friendly, and caring staff! 👏

lots to do for families at this farm. more suited to older children (2+) but still fun to look/feed the animals and take family photos. the honey is delicious, and so we're the Chipotle chicken gyros and donuts. the stones I had in my pay dirt were a nice size and variety. worth 10$ imo. will return when my kids are a little older and can do more activities.

Tom Patterson Theatre | Stratford Festival

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

An amazing experience in a beautiful, light filled and airy theatre. The common spaces never felt crowded. You can see the river from wherever you are in the lobby. There were an ample number of washrooms and no queues. The theatre space is lovely and seats were velvety and comfortable. Be sure you enjoy the outdoor patio and the adjacent garden.

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

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

The Avon Theatre is a real treat. Not a bad sightline in the whole theatre (in my opinion). I often sit in "obstructed view" seats and rarely feel that I'm missing any of the action. The seats are comfortable, the lobby is light and the staff are helpful and kind.

The workers are very rude. Our group was scared so it took us a couple of minutes at start, but not that long and a total of four actors were being disrespectful saying “you’re taking long go faster” “no shit it’s fine cause you guys take forever”. the other actors were fine but the first couple were rude. Considering the first few houses would be the scariest cause we’re not used to the environment, it would be nice if they could be a bit more welcoming to people.

Very disappointing experience. Two of the employees were super nice and in character. The rest you could tell didn't care and we're only there for a paycheck. A lot of buildings were closed, a good portion didn't have much to explore (upstairs locked, side rooms locked). No activities for kids side from some old fashioned toys and one hand blender. I wish there was more for kids and families to due. What the website promotes vs in person are two completely different things.

Victoria Park, also known as Vicky Park, is a beloved 18-acre green space in east London. It's the largest park in the borough and offers diverse attractions such as a replica of the Whitehall cenotaph, a Chinese pagoda, and opportunities for row boating. The park hosts summer festivals and concerts while transforming into a free skating spot with enchanting Christmas lights during winter.
Victoria Park is truly the heart of London! This beautiful green space offers something for everyone—whether you’re taking a relaxing stroll, enjoying a picnic, or attending one of the many festivals hosted here throughout the year. The park is well-maintained, with plenty of benches, walking paths, and shady trees. In the summer, the festivals and concerts bring so much energy, while in the winter, the holiday lights display is magical. There’s also a great play area for kids and plenty of open spaces for activities. The central location makes it an easy stop for both locals and visitors. If you’re in London, I highly recommend visiting Victoria Park—it’s a gem in the city!

Beautiful park in London, stopped here for a quick walk to see the Holy Roller tank from WWII. And it was well worth it. There are some benches to sit and reflect or rest your legs next to the tank. The squirrels are hilarious and will follow for snacks. I didn't spend a lot of time here, but would definitely stop again in my travels across Canada.

The one thing I love the most about Victoria Park is the different events that happen at the Park most weekends. Today, we caught a Hockey Cup final and some other time, it's a music festival. Victoria Park is a pretty large mostly quiet park in the heart of downtown London, ON. It's characterised by a large black gate and a couple of nice sculptures on the Park. It's very lovely especially during Summer. Although our evening at the Park was disrupted by Bees, but we still had a good time walking in the Park. Parking was not really an issue at the Park as we found a place to park easily. Due to the nature of downtown, I won't advise anyone being at the Park till late but it's definitely a good experience to enjoy the Sun. I heard the Park is even more beautiful during Winter, looking forward to it. Ambience ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Location ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

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

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

Great Spot for Swimming and Relaxation This is a great place for swimming the water is clean and you can feel the soft sand beneath your feet while swimming. Lots of nice sandy area where you can relax and enjoy the warmth. There’s a beautiful walking market where you can buy food, clothing, and more. The market has a charming 1950s vibe that adds to the experience. You can also rent boats and jet skis for around $150 per hour. The only downside is parking-it costs $8 per hour, and it can be challenging to find a spot close to the beach.

Street parking is $6 for 2 hours. Beach was pack with patrons but still have walking space. Not dog friendly so please leave furry friends at home. Enjoy a sunbathing here and not needing to fly to Bahamas. Plenty of drinks, ice cream and restaurants to fill your tummy after. The city should banned aggressive dogs on sidewalks.

Grand Bend Beach is a great spot for families and kids, with plenty of shopping and dining options nearby. The beach is clean and has a fun, lively atmosphere. Parking can be a bit tight during weekends and holidays, so it’s best to arrive early. When we visited, it was quite windy and cold, but it’s still a beautiful place to enjoy the views and spend the day. Definitely worth a visit!

Provincial park
Nature & Parks
Pinery Provincial Park is a vast coastal park offering dunes, beaches, forest trails, camping facilities, boat rentals, and picnic areas. The park features three campgrounds with a total of 1,275 sites catering to families and providing a friendly community atmosphere. Its main attraction is the expansive sandy beach along Lake Huron that draws beachgoers and water sports enthusiasts.
My boyfriend and I visited the Pinery this fall for a quick camping trip, and we were absolutely captivated by the beauty of the area! Our campsite was just a short stroll from the stunning shores of Lake Huron, where the dunes and unique shoreline left me in awe. The park itself was incredibly well-maintained, with clean facilities and plenty of activities to enjoy throughout our stay. On our last day, we ventured out for a hike, soaking in the peaceful surroundings and breathtaking views. It was the perfect getaway, and we’re already looking forward to returning to this little slice of paradise!

Winter camping in December was perfect - snow, peace and tranquility. Lots of birds to see, trails are in good shape too. Roads are cleared quickly if snowfall, and comfort station has hot showers👍. The park staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Great place to relax. My boyfriend and I love going here, we are from Michigan but the drive is totally worth it. The people here are so kind. The facilities are fantastic, the restrooms are always clean, there’s a shop where you can buy everything you need basically, and you can rent kayaks and bikes in case you don’t have. The city of Grand Bend is like 15 min away from here and it’s also pretty cute. Definitely recommended!!

Amazing place for camping. My wife has been coming here since she was a kid and now our family camps here every year. The camp grounds are amazing and the beach with the sand dunes are the best I've seen. The park employees are friendly and kind. There are lots of things to do around the park and in Grand Bend. I highly recommend camping here!

We camped at the park for 2 nights and it was a very comfortable stay. It is a beautiful protected forest host to oak savanna ecosystem and freshwater dunes, home to so many species of plants and animals. We had plenty of time to explore the park and soak in the beauty. The camping area beaches are not crowed and we could just relax on the beach and watch the sunset. the whole park is covered with boardwalks and is accessible for wheelchairs.

Gorgeous beaches, lush trails, clean facilities, and friendly park staff! This place was great for my family and I. You can have a legitimate camping experience while knowing if you forgot anything there's a reasonably priced camp store with almost anything you need. There's a wide variety of trails to hike/bike, many dog friendly spaces including certain beaches, easy to navigate maps and so many great places and activities for adults and kids alike to learn from!!

What a stunning area of Ontario. This Provincial Park lived up to its hype. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. What an amazing and large park! Camping sites in the Riverside campground (area 4) were spacious and private despite the large number of sites. Facilities and amenities were all clean and well stocked. The various beaches were beautiful. It was like being down south with the beautiful white sandy beaches and the aqua water! And it's a short drive into Grand Bend, a beautiful little town.
Krista M — Google review
Awesome campsites!! We had 3 campsites for 2 nights and it was so fun! The sites are clean and spacious. They were close enough together but still offered privacy. AND we barely felt any mosquitos!!! The bathrooms and showers were also cleaned regularly. Great place for camping with kids! They can be loud and dirty and enjoy so many outdoor activities. The beach area was beautiful! I can't say enough good things about it. We will definitely go again.

Huron Historic Gaol

Mentioned on 
13 lists 
Temporarily Closed
History museum
Sights & Landmarks
The Huron Historic Gaol, a distinctive building that operated as a jail with a focus on humane treatment since 1841, is now a popular tourist destination in Goderich. Visitors from around the globe flock to this site, often booking tours in advance. Led by knowledgeable guides, these tours take guests through the corridors while providing insights into its history. Goderich boasts rich Ontario history and the Huron Gaol stands out as one of its key attractions.
A Fascinating Step Back in Time – Perfect for Curious Minds! We visited the Huron Historic Gaol as part of our family trip to Goderich, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported back in time. The self-guided tour was well-organized, with informative signage and interactive displays that even kept our kids engaged and curious. The architecture and preservation of the building are impressive. It’s amazing to see how much of the original structure and design has been maintained. The old cells, guard rooms, and courtroom gave us a real sense of what life was like in the 1800s—both for the prisoners and the staff who lived there. The stories of the inmates, especially those involving women and youth, were eye-opening and led to some great conversations with our older children about justice, history, and society. What stood out the most was how the gaol is not just a historical site but also a deeply human one. It reflects the evolution of the Canadian justice system and how rehabilitation and human rights have progressed over time.

The Huron Historic Gaol is a fascinating place to visit and really gives you a glimpse into the area’s past. The building itself is well-preserved, and walking through the cells and halls feels like stepping back in time. What I especially appreciated were the listening tools provided throughout the site—they share the history in a clear and engaging way, making the experience even more immersive. A must-see if you’re visiting Goderich and interested in local history.

Great spot with loads of info about if you take the audio guide. Staff is really friendly as well. Well worth the price ( especially combined with the Huron Museum). Lots of parking but be aware it does warm in there in summer ( lots of fans inside ).
Jean-Francois D — Google review
Informative tour, they give you handheld devices where you punch in the number of the exhibit and you put it up to your ear so only you can hear, it's not loud enough to disturb other people's experience. Some architectural details are very beautiful, especially in the center with the spiral staircase, the upper floor where the courtroom was and the Jail Masters house. Interesting design for the cells, a drab view for the incarcerated, but there were windows to let in some natural light. Outside in the courtyards they have a garden which is now used for growing food for the local community soup kitchens. If you're into history, this is a worthwhile stop.

We came to visit this attraction in Goderich for a weekend visit on a Sunday afternoon. The admission price was fantastic and it is a self guided tour. One can add the audio portion for free, a device that you can listen to on your ear, punching in the 3 digit numbers scattered across the place. The place is clean, well lit on a sunny day, taken care of and preserved well. It was recommended to start at the 3rd floor and work our way down, which we did. The audio was fantastic because you listen to so much history and interesting facts about the belongings, the rooms, the prisoners, and people who ran the jail. The place got busy as the time went one, but not so crowded as it is a smaller area. They have a small souvenir shop at the front where the admission is paid. Highly recommend as a stop to visit in Goderich, ticket price is amazing, the building inside and outside are well maintained and an interesting history to be told. The self tour took about 1-1.5 hour, if taking time to listen to the audio and going room by room.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huron Historic Gaol — Goderich, ON Small but fascinating historic site! The self-guided prison tour was really interesting, and the entry price was very reasonable. I highly recommend getting the combo pass for the museum — it made for a great day of exploring local history. Just be mindful that it closes early (4:30 pm), so plan your visit accordingly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.
Emma P — Google review
Get a piece of Canadian history, the Gaol was built between 1839 to 1842, the Gaol had prisons, small courtroom and a chapel , antique artifacts are displayed showing the piece of history, the entry fee is nominal and lot of parking spaces available free of cost.The Gaol tour will take kind of 20-25 mins. It is located 250 meters to the Huron Museum and near to the downtown.

Menesetung Bridge

Mentioned on 
10 lists 
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Menesetung Bridge, located in Goderich, Ontario, is a historic railway bridge that has been repurposed into a picturesque pedestrian walkway. Offering stunning views of the Maitland River, Lake Huron, and the harbor, it provides an excellent opportunity for a leisurely stroll while taking in the natural beauty of the surroundings. The bridge also serves as a starting point for various trails that lead through the adjacent forested areas.
One of the top places to visit when in Goderich.What a incredible view from the Menesetung Bridge. The Menesetung Bridge was the longest bridge in Ontario at the time of its construction and is a fine example of a typical Canadian Pacific Rail bridge. The seven spans each measure 104 feet in length and 12 feet in width, creating a total length of 750 feet. Parking is available at the base of the bridge.

This lovely trail is well-maintained. Easy to navigate with some amazing scenic views of the area. Unfortunately, the famous Bridge is still under construction and we weren't able to walk across it. Fingers crossed it will be completed by next year when we visit again.

Amazing! It's a well maintained wooden bridge. It's fantastic scenery from the bridge. You can overlook people fishing on the boat and canoeing. Some people rode through the bridge. We were there in a Saturday morning in September. It's not crowded. The parking is free with 3 hours limited. It's close to water front tourist area.
金玫Barrie J — Google review
Part of the Tiger Dunlop trail. Free parking at the south end of the bridge- walk up the gravel path for a stunning view of the golf course on the right/east. Lots of birds. The bridge is amazing and there are some historical signs. On the left/west side, at the north end is a loop trail - no distance but I would say maybe 2km? It is mostly flat and easy to follow. It follows the river at first, so you can see (and hear) the salt mine facilitates. I thought it would bring us to a nice view of Lake Huron, but no. It’s all woods. There is an ancient oak tree with it’s story on a plaque. When you get back to the bridge you can continue north if desired.

I love this bridge💙 Perfect day to walk and see a nice view of Lake Huron, parking is free ( big bonus! )... there are trails that you can enjoy after the bridge as well. We walked here last July 2nd, and the view was super pretty. We even saw a beaver from the other side of the river swimming across. Just perfect for our afternoon delight. xx

What a bless to have the view from the bridge. The fall colour, fresh air, the shady trail, and the shallow river below for fishing. Another must go place in Goderich. Lots of parking on the entrance by the trail to the bridge. Short and easy way up there. Not crowded even on Sunday.

What a beautiful day for a walk on the bridge, they called for rain but we missed it. My friend and I enjoyed the beautiful view and met the sweetest lady who was camping near by, she told us about her travels. I think we were both in awe at her experiences, she was retired and just camping from place to place. Thanks for the wonderful, memorable day.

Provincial park
Nature & Parks
Point Farms Provincial Park, located just north of Goderich, is a hidden gem known for its family-friendly beach and beautiful surroundings. Once the site of a Victorian-era resort, the park now offers a large sandy beach and well-maintained facilities. The area is primarily for RVs but also accommodates tents. Visitors can enjoy clean washrooms and easy access to the gorgeous waters and expansive shoreline.
It was amazing! Great camping sites, great views! Plenty of parking space, staff are nice! If u r here, go to the beach! 100% worth it! They got a playground for kids, most importantly dog friendly! You can bring them to the beach as well. In a word, it's perfect!🥰

Nice park off of the Bluewater Highway (21). Not a wilderness park by any stretch of the imagination, but handy for recreational vehicles to camp and day users for hiking and the beach. The beach is pretty nice with soft sand on most areas, aside from cobblestone rock and driftwood. Great area for rock hunters as the variety of rocks and stones is really astounding, apparently carried by glaciers. We picked a full bag of garbage off the beach, although some of it may have washed ashore from Lake Huron. The water off the beach is quite shallow for the first 50 meters or so, which keeps the water warmer than normal Lake Huron temperatures. There are some decent hiking trails in the Park as well, and a nice camp store. Overall a very pleasant spot, and opportune for those without a cottage or don’t want to afford a resort.
Ian M — Google review
We very much enjoy our stays. There are no quiet hours at the park, and you might end up not sleeping well because of loud neighbours. A small sound machine and/or ear plugs can help if you are a light sleeper. Water shoes are a lifesaver at the beach. It's pretty rocky when you first enter. Water is gorgeous, though, and we spend full days at the beach. The showers, bathrooms and laundry facility make life so comfortable while camping.

Point farms is in a beautiful location. The landscape changes alot depending on where you are in the park. The old farms trail was extremely beautiful and took you all around the park. The facilities were clean and well marked out. The park store was a decent size and had lots of park merchandise to buy. The campsite seemed very nice and clean.
Brent — Google review
Nice provincial park to visit for a couple of nights. The Old Farms Trail is an easy hike through some woodlands. The beach is nice (though a typical pebble shoreline in most parts of the water). The washroom buildings are very clean and well kept. The 'outhouse' buildings were pretty smelly but did have a sink area with running water. Campsites in Huron were fairly private and pleasant.
Mark P — Google review
Red carpet welcoming of tree lined roadways into the park entrance. The drive is equally as calming & vibrant as the park with spectacular views of the Great Lake Huron! White sands compliment the stunning views and miles of outstretched beach. Dog friendly (leashed) and sparse amenities at beach area. Small park store with souvenirs & clothing. No online registration required however, beach area closed due to capacity mid afternoon. No lifeguards on duty & due to rocky shores, need water shoes to battle rocky bottom and the enticing waves! Bring refreshments and enjoy the flavour of paradise!!! 🏖

We reserved group site 403. It has its own trail to the steps going to the beach. This section of beach is fairly private. Campground has a great store for supplies. Washrooms could have been cleaner. Would visit again.

First time visiting this provincial park... although quite busy when I camped here in August on a cycling trip, that was to be expected. I actually enjoyed the busy-ness of families vacationing here, and the truck also of young kids whipping around on bikes throughout the park. I took an early evening jaunt down to the beachfront, and it was absolutely spectacular along the shores of Lake Huron. Only a few folks remaining on this long and vast beach, the air was cool and crisp and the surf was rolling in as I watched the sun set over Lake Huron. You can see Goderich in the distance southward. This truly is a fantastic place to come and play in the water. Point Farms Provincial Park also has some pretty good amenities - if you're planning a longer road or cycling trip, this place has laundry facilities and also a small convenience store where you can stock up on some basics if need be. Laundry was bit expensive to be honest - $3 for a wash and another $3 for a dry (and you'll need quarters or Toonies, the machines don't accept Loonies) - although I didn't really need to do laundry, I took advantage so that I'd have fresh cycling gear on my return trip back home. Highly recommend a visit and a stay at this park.

THE BEST POUTINE WEST OF QUEBEC!!! Seriously this was the best poutine I have had the pleasure of eating in over a decade. Everything is on point. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, delicious delicate gravy and the show stopper was the fresh squeaky cheese curds piled high. We don’t live locally and we’re passing through…it’s been in the back of my mind to make a trip back here just for the poutine.

The food is always amazing! ***** I feel bad for the business... great products, but terrible marketing. Very few people know that Mercado means Market... tons of cool products, frozen meals, deli items, etc available....but little traffic for them. There is a bar area that could be a cool hangout spot, but it closes too early to catch many customers. They really need a big sign advertising an authentic Italian experience - cuisine, gelato, take out, frozen meals to go and a friendly bar as a destination. If the parking lot were paved, I could see it as a great spot for vintage car meets or motorcycle trips. These groups are always looking for a spot to stop, but won't go near the gravel, mud and pot holes. Worth a visit for the amazing food!

Yum! We stopped in here to pick up cheese curds and we’re greeted instead by a beautiful new restaurant with a cheese counter. We couldn’t leave without getting a pizza pie and it was excellent. Quickly cooked and very generous toppings. Very flavourful! Would recommend they serve their pizza with a few fresh Basil for some added flavour. Highly recommend.
