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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an amazing experience river rafting here! The staff were super friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having a blast. The guides were knowledgeable and kept the energy high throughout the trip. The scenery was breathtaking, and the rapids were the perfect mix of thrilling and manageable—even for beginners. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to add some adventure to their day. Will be coming back for sure!

We did the family rafting. Included a delicious lunch of sandwiches, veggies, and fruit. Lots of opportunities to jump out and swim, body surf, and cliff jump. 4 hour duration. We also did the half day tour, about 3 hours. Lots of fun rapids and hiking. Was able to enjoy the pool, jacuzzi, and showers afterwards. Extremely friendly staff. Lots of fun!!!

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!

Had an amazing time. Worth buying the photos! It's very safe but can be a bit scary, there are guides watching over everyone and a kayak following in case anything happens. My buddy fell out a few times and he was fine. Some of these 1 star reviews are pretty silly.

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!

We stayed one night in a pod in the village from a Sunday to a Monday last week and went through the park two days of our visit. Our family had a wonderful time. The pod was clean and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Our kids liked staying in the loft. Staff were friendly and provided clear information. We had our dinner by the campfire and were visited by many deer. Be sure to bring plenty of carrots for both driving through the park and for the visitors to your pod if you’re staying here. Highly recommend going to the morning wolf education session if you stay overnight. It was far less busy than the one we attended in the daytime within the park. The staff at the educational sessions were knowledgeable and answered our kids’ questions following the session. The animals here seemed well cared for and their enclosures were big enough that you might not necessarily see them all, for example to see the wolves you are likely best to attend one of the educational sessions where they come out to be fed. The elk you will most definitely see a lot of approaching your car for carrots which is very entertaining. We enjoyed the little trail around the trout pond. We hope to return again someday.

A Truly Unforgettable Experience at Parc Omega Parc Omega is a must visit for any animal lover! We stayed for two nights in one of the 1400 square foot chalets located in the wolf area, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. The accommodations were spotless, spacious, and fully equipped with everything we needed,it honestly felt like a home away from home. We brought our own groceries from Metro and enjoyed cooking some delicious meals right in the chalet. It was the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern convenience. As for the Parc itself, it’s very well maintained and offers a great variety of animals to see up close. From elk and bison to arctic wolves, every encounter was memorable. The hiking trails were a nice bonus, peaceful, scenic, and a great way to stretch your legs after the drive-through portion. Overall, we highly recommend Parc Omega. It’s a unique experience that blends nature, wildlife, and comfort beautifully. We’ll definitely be back!

Love this park!!! The ticket is totally worth it! The views of the park itself is beautiful, very spacious. There are couple of stops that you can hike and enjoy the view, also some tables for picnic. The animals are well taken care of, they look happy and have enough space to run around.

it is one of the best safari parks I've ever been to - an amazing experience for all ages who love animals and nature. The whole park is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully divided into different zones for various animals, making each part of the drive exciting. Deer are basically everywhere, even right from the entrance! We arrived before 11am., and it was already packed with friendly deer eagerly waiting for carrots. But don't let them fool you - save your carrots, because there're plenty more deer throughout the park. Or you could buy carrots later in the shops in Zone 11. We brought about 10 pounds of carrots and found it best to cut them into halves or quarters so the smaller deer can eat easily. Zone 4 is where you can take a trail walk by the lake and we also went to Zone 11 to watch the wolf presentation, which was both fascinating and educational, and enjoyed some surprisingly good poutine at Zone 11,too. another quick tip : when you reach the first gate that says "Parc Omega", drive straight in - the ticket check comes afterward. If you're staying overnight, then you turn left at that first gate for the accommodations. It's truly a full-day adventure, and if your budget allows, staying in the Deer Cabin or Wolf Lodge makes it even more unforgettable.

Written in September. Wonderful place for kids. The animals come to eat right from the car. It's recommended to buy 2 large bags of carrots and bring them. It's worth buying tickets on Black Friday when the price is lower. The fall foliage was very beautiful- with a great short hike.

I tried to buy tickets in advance for a discount, but the website was having issues. I ended up having to pay the regular price at the entrance. The park lets you feed deer which is a really funny experience. You can buy your own carrots at the supermarket for cheaper. There is a drive-through safari where the deers are and we also saw boars and bison. Some animals are caged in like the wolves, coyote, foxes, bears, wolverine, prairie dogs and horses. The arctic wolf enclosure wasn't visible due to construction work and the grey wolves werent near the lookout so we couldn't see them. The wolf presentation at 12pm didn't happen for some unknown reason. For a safari of this price, I find the variety of animals to be a bit lacking. Also, the cart ride to the farm was closed without notice, and people were lining up for 20 minutes just to be told it was closed. The farm only had alpaca, and the feeder was broken and ate a woman's coin. If not for the deer feeding part, it would've been a worse experience overall due to management issues.

As a first-time visitor to a park like this, I was amazed by how close and interactive the experience was. It’s a perfect mix of adventure, nature, and comfort. highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone who loves wildlife. it was absolutely unforgettable! Parc Omega is a self-drive wildlife safari located near Montebello, about an hour from Ottawa or Montreal. You drive through 12 km of beautiful landscapes forests, lakes, and open fields while getting incredibly close to Canadian wildlife. * You can feed deer and elk right from your car window bring your own carrots (lots of them).We also saw moose, bison, wolves, bears, and arctic foxes. * The park is open year-round and offers different activities each season like dog-sledding and snowshoeing in winter, or bird shows and walking trails in summer. * They even have unique overnight stays,glass-fronted cabins where you can sleep next to a wolf enclosure! * Family-friendly with picnic spots, a small farm, play areas, and well-kept facilities. Tips: * Arrive early to avoid the crowd and enjoy the peaceful environment. * Be cautious when feeding animals, some have large antlers and can bump your car. * Plan 3–5 hours for a relaxed visit and to explore both the drive and walking trails.

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.

The beer is absolutely delicious here! Great staff and vibe. Highly recommend.

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. Définitivement une expérience extraordinaire que j'ai très hâte de répéter. Merci Beaus! Merci Laura! . . #beer #craftbeer #beerstagram #instabeer #beerlover #beergeek #beers #party #cheers #brewery #ipa #beerlovers #drinklocal #love #instagood #beerblog #beergirl #craftbeergirl #craftbeerlife #beergirl #drinkbeer #ladiesthatlovethecraft #beerlove #craftloyal #drinkcraft #goodbeer #beausallnatural #beaus #ontariobeer #ontariocraftbeer #ontario

Delicious squeaky fresh made same day curd cheese which wasn't salty and tasted so good. We also bought Aged Cheddar Cheese 5 Year reserve and oh wow.... the little cheese crystals are very refined. No bitter taste. When we visited, it was past the summer visitor season so the snack bar eating area was closed. Nevertheless we visited for the cheese and it was well worth it. Took some videos for all to see.

What a delightful stop! 🧀✨ Fromagerie Montebello was one of those unexpected gems on our drive to Mont-Tremblant — the kind of place that instantly makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. The variety of cheeses and jams here is incredible! From rich, creamy local favorites to unique flavors, everything looked (and tasted) amazing. I especially loved the orange and pineapple jams — they were so delicious that I genuinely wished I’d sampled them earlier... I would have taken home a few jars of each! 🍊🍍 The gentleman behind the counter was wonderfully patient and knowledgeable, walking us through the different cheeses and helping us choose just the right ones. The shop itself has such a warm, welcoming vibe, full of local charm and authenticity. And then there’s the patio — a lovely spot overlooking the lake, perfect for enjoying a cheese board or just soaking in the peaceful surroundings. 🌿🧺 If you’re driving through Montebello, this place is an absolute must-visit. Great flavors, friendly faces, and a beautiful setting — a perfect little stop that captures the heart of Quebec hospitality. ❤️

Fromagerie Montebello is such a nice spot to visit! The cheeses are absolutely delicious and full of flavor. I also tried the coffee — it wasn’t extraordinary, but I still enjoyed it. What really made the experience special was the environment and the beautiful view. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the charm. A place worth visiting if you want to relax, enjoy good cheese, and take in the scenery.

I loved this place, I used to drive from Montreal and buy products there and sit in the patio and have lunch sometimes. I went Saturday and a little note at the door saying that the restaurant was closed. I got inside and asked the service woman there the rhetorical question: Is the restaurant closed, expecting a little conversation like “ Yeah, it’s closed for the summer and we are doing some renovations and stuff like that. The lady there noticed my French wasn’t perfect and answered, we got only cheese and sandwiches, and whispered to her coworker something like: why they are asking is written on the door, my son overheard. It looks like she was bothered and not very happy to be there. My daughter wanted to buy some cake and my wife some cheese, but I told them I wouldn’t spend a dollar in a place i don’t feel welcomed. It’s a shame, because I’m not going there anymore, only because of some poor service and unhappy employee.

Such a wonderful spot in Montebello! It has made our trip here! Kind and patient service, and super fresh and delicious cheese and bread. We really enjoyed everything we have purchased. All the staffs were kind and helpful. I highly recommend their bread with cheese and tomato sauce: the outside bread is crunchy, the tomato sauce has generous garlics in it; every bite was enjoyable! The squeaky cheese is the most squeaky one we have ever had! Again, very fresh and yummy.

Excellent choice of cheeses and condiments At this time of year the restaurant is closed but they still serve a good variety of sandwiches and beverages to eat in.

Fromagerie Montebello is a delightful stop for anyone visiting the region, especially for food lovers and photographers who enjoy capturing artisanal craft in action. This charming cheese factory specializes in locally produced cheeses, combining traditional techniques with a modern touch. The rustic setting, with wooden accents and open production areas, makes for excellent photographic opportunities—think golden wheels of cheese, staff at work, and the textures of aging cheese on racks. Visitors can watch the cheesemaking process firsthand, from curd to wheel, gaining insight into the craft while experiencing the rich aromas and flavors. The tasting area is equally inviting, offering a variety of cheeses that pair beautifully with local products such as honey, charcuterie, and fresh bread. For photographers, Fromagerie Montebello provides a mix of still-life and lifestyle opportunities. The warm tones of the cheeses, the craftsmanship on display, and the friendly staff create a welcoming environment to capture both detail shots and candid moments. It’s a small but memorable stop that combines culture, taste, and visual appeal, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring Montebello.

Papanack was never an incredibly amazing zoo, but the last time I went, about 7 years ago, it was a lot nicer looking than it is now! When we walked in to pay, the woman working the cash was incredibly rude when speaking to us. My client has a disability, and this woman looked at us as if we were not wanted. She also couldn't understand why a group of 6 of us were paying separately instead of together. We are all adults... We weren't holding up any lines either because there was no one else in the store. However, what's the point in acting up like a Karen, right? Hopefully, she had the day she deserves. The paths were rocky, and the rocks were sharp! There was mud and uneven ground everywhere. Some of the pet enclosures look like they need to be redone. There is no picnic area anymore either. The poor animals were baking in the hot sun. What happened to shaded areas? One of the animals got out of their enclosure, and we told the lady at the front, and she said it always happens and not to worry about it... and the goats were putting their heads under the fence. They could definitely get stuck or hurt. I'm sad about how horrible it looks now.

We have loved visiting this zoo for years, making wonderful memories with our children and parents. It's a beautiful place where we've enjoyed seeing and learning about the animals, especially in the summer and fall. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was rather disappointing. About 30 minutes in, our young children became fussy. Understanding their needs, we asked the staff at the counter if we could leave to feed and nap them, then return later in the day. The person at the counter assured us that they would be there all day and that re-entry would not be a problem. When we returned an hour and some before closing—well within the zoo’s stated policy for last entry—we were denied re-entry by the same staff member who had earlier confirmed that we could return. We were surprised and disappointed by this inconsistency. We understand that policies are in place for a reason, but clarity and consistency are essential, especially for families with young children. A simple acknowledgment of the misunderstanding or a willingness to honor what was initially stated would have gone a long way. We hope this feedback helps the zoo improve its communication with visitors, as we have many fond memories here and would love to see it continue to be a welcoming place for families.

I don’t know why this place is still even running, to even call this place a “zoo” is crazy. these animals are stuffed in wired fences with nothing but mud and sludge to walk around in, their “shelter” is literally just half assed wood huts & shipping containers. they have little to no entertainment or quality of life. not to mention how ugly this place is, driving by, it’s so ugly and it literally looks like someone ran to the hardware store, bought some chain wire fence and wood and locked some animals in their backyard. also just was extremely taken aback by the female lion that was locked in a SHIPPING CONTAINER with bars on it to keep her from getting out? this place is disgusting and id extremely encourage not letting them profit off of you and your children. we should not be giving these people any money, because even being open for YEARS they clearly haven’t used a penny of it to expand and give these animals a better life and environment. sickening to see that it’s even still up and running.

1. Availability of Maps: When I asked the front desk for a map of the place, I was informed that none was available. It would be very helpful to have a map at the front desk so visitors can take a picture of it with their cellphones to help navigate the area more easily. 2. Path Maintenance: The path to see the animals could use improvement. I suggest having at least 4 inches of gravel above ground level to prevent visitors' shoes from getting destroyed by muck, water, and slushy soil. 3. Quick Responses to Urgent Questions: There should be better efficiency in providing directions to essential facilities like washrooms. When I approached the front desk to ask for washroom directions, I had to wait for 5 minutes, which could have been answered in 2 seconds. This is particularly important as some visitors may have urgent needs. 4. Signage and Visitor Information: The signage for directions could be larger to improve visibility, especially for those who have difficulty reading from a distance. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the front desk staff provided a brief orientation, especially about the washroom locations, to every visitor during payment. 5. Washroom Facilities: There is a need for clean, well-maintained, and permanent washroom facilities on-site to ensure a comfortable experience for all visitors. Overall, these improvements would greatly enhance the visitor experience.

Animals are in a very poor condition, no food, no water for them to drink, super small spaces (the space is very poorly used.)we can feel and see how stressed they are. I do not recommend this place and I demand an inspection. This animals deserve to be well care.

Went today, yes some of the enclosures are small but what the hell do I know about their care, maybe they're just viewing enclosures and they're moved to other enclosures at different times. There seemed to be other much bigger enclosures that weren't accessible to the public. All of the enclosures we saw had little dens and lots of greenery for shade and to hide. As for water, I noticed a lot of natural source water. I thought the animals looked healthy, they were curious and interactive so they can't be that sad... ultimately it has greatly improved. There was also a bear and cheetah show where a handler was right there with the animals and the animals obviously loved her. I saw no signs of abuse. The cheetah was purring away and looked very healthy. Also there were people doing work on some of the enclosures. It's improving, and that's what matters. Portapotties were clean, gift shop is cute and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. My 8 year old and 6 year old had an amazing day out. Thanks Papanack!

Very nice small zoo. Ottawa should be grateful to have it. African animals section is amazing. Wolves are really huge and awesome. Most of active animals have enough space. Maybe only birds like parrots should have more space to fly inside. Lions, wolves, bobcats and other big mammals have big open spaces for running. In overall, the impression is good. In rainy weather wear boots because some roads can get a little muddy.

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!

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

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.

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

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!

One word can describe the factory...YUM! My children and I love overseeing the factory in operation. Its all around just a wonderful visit and we also enjoy bringing some home with us.

It feels magical with the open Bay Area of Wakefield down river. It’s only accessible by foot or bike, you’ll need to park on the road or local parking spaces. There is a set of stairs to get down to the water. There are also areas to sit on the rocks and go into the water, with rapid areas where people practice kayaking.

Biked to the Wakefield Covered Bridge — such a peaceful and beautiful little town. The ride was scenic, and the town itself feels like a hidden gem tucked away in nature. Perfect for a relaxing afternoon escape.

This a nice wooden bridge over the Ottawa river. Has lots of signs around explaining the history and build process. There's a walkway along the water where many people chill or have picnic. The parking lot is across the street, a minute walk from the spot. But there are no signs for the guests to know.

A very beautiful and charming bridge! Amazing views of the river, especially at sunset. A perfect spot for a walk and photos. Peaceful and romantic atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting!

Hidden gem, very beautiful and relaxing place with nice cafes, walking, canoeing and dining options

Nice, historic recreation. The original bridge burned down, and has been replaced by this version. Still a great place to visit. Beautiful scenery. Very impressed the bridge was replaced and in the fashion of the original.

It’s just beautiful, there are also some shops and cafes in the town centre you can hangout there!

Peaceful surroundings. Clean lake with soft sand. The facilities are new and well equipped. Free rentals of canoes, kayaks and pedalos for card carrying locals. I try to come here every weekend in the summer. We’ve seen deer, eagles, birds, frogs, lily pads, and dragonflies. Life guards monitor lake, and bbq areas have charcoal pits available. Super family friendly. ❤️❤️❤️

Small and the water is not very clean. Nice set up, kids area lots of parking . Close rot the city few trails that are boring. I didn’t really like it much the beach is small .

One of the best places for a walk or cycle in Gatineau that's not within Gatineau Park. Plenty of easy trails for mountain biking for those with less experience and plenty of walking space, with the chance of encountering deer as you walk. Unfortunately there can be broken glass here and there, and some patches of poison ivy so be mindful of straying off the trails.

We visited the place twice, two days apart. We loved the trails, both O/T1/T2 with hills fun for kids to tackle, and a long loop on E, which is mostly flat. The rental gear was comfortable and the staff was very friendly.

Beautiful, well maintained trails for walking, snowshoeing, fatbiking or skiing. Even on weekends it isn't overly busy.

Free activities with city Gatineau Access Card. Prices included in one of my attached pictures. Clean place. Lots of parking. Great indications with maps can be found all over the different sites.

Beautiful scenery. Great paths to walk. Go and enjoy.

This hill holds a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, they lost a lot of their sole when their chalet burnt down. And they’re still recovering from it. The new roadway makes accessing the hill/parking lot much safer, and easier to navigate. The new chalet is great, but is missing several key factors and functionalities I’ve come to expect in my 30+ years in the skiing community at every ski hill I’ve been to.

Great water park. A handful of rides for kids and adults. The park was packed the day we went and we had to rent a gazebo for 90 CAD to get a decent spot for our group. But this was probably not the norm. Plenty of food options around. For some reason most people were going on to the outside one, but if you go to the building on the right side of the resort they actually have pizza sandwiches and snacks and there was hardly a line up there because I doubt people knew about it. There are also changing rooms in multiple locations in the resort. Lineups move relatively fast. Service was good and tons of parking. Overall a great time

The Hills were in great condition and the skiing was amazing. The lifts went up and not too bad of a speed. The food was a bit more expensive than I would’ve hoped for but still quite good for ski hill. Prices 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Came here with my family on December 22 and had an enjoyable time. Although some runs were closed, the conditions were good for a fun day of skiing. Given that this was my first trip here, I wasn't sure what to expect, but after a positive experience, I would come back.

I live just around the corner of mount cascade but I still think it is an amazing little park.They recently opened their new chalet,which I think is spectacular. I’ve just tried the food for the fist time and it was delicious but just a tad more expensive then other places. But for for a ski chalet pretty good!! The employees are really great they can help you whenever you need! I recommend the chili and the pasta! I’ve been coming here a long time and I think they really stepped up their game this year! Edit: At the place where you can buy pastreys a good deal is to get the pastreys from yesterdays as they are cheaper don’t for get to tip the staff!!!

This is the best family water park ever! They don't make you wait in line with your tubes. The strictly enforce weight limits and that rides designed for 2 are actually for two. This means that two adults can't typically do certain rides or go down on their own. There are plenty of shaded picnic areas with tables. They let you bring your food. There are also 3 distinct zones for kids, toddlers, young kids and under 10. Not to mention it's fairly well maintained.

Great slopes, the chalet burnt down so there is a temporary one. The staff are friendly and the poutine was good. It’s a cute spot, they also have water slides for the summer time. Great for families!

The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa is definitely worth a visit. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere feels calm and welcoming. You can find everything from famous Canadian artists to thought-provoking modern art, plus the amazing Indigenous art collection. It’s a place where you can spend hours exploring and always discover something new. I have been there two times but still feel i haven’t seen the full.

A beautiful building with convenient parking on site and small coffee shop in the building. 2 floors of art mainly contemporary, indigenous and European art. You will need at least 2-3.5 hours to finish. Very spacious. Clean bathrooms and nice staff.

The National Gallery of Canada was excellent, with loads of Group of Seven, indigenous, and other Canadian artists, plus lots of European artists too (including a well-thought-out wall of Van Gogh’s progression as an artist). The restaurant inside is great as well, with lots of ready-made and made-to-order options.

A must-visit for art lovers and anyone visiting Ottawa. The grand, high-ceilinged architecture and automatic doors left us in awe, making the exhibition space feel even more elegant and enjoyable. It took us about 2–3 hours to explore the entire building and exhibitions. The museum features an excellent collection of contemporary, Indigenous, American, and European artworks and installations. It also offers a beautiful view of Parliament Hill. Inside, you will find a cafeteria, a café, a library, and a gift shop.

Such a beautiful gallery with a WIDE variety of art styles and artists, from contemporary to european to indigenous artists! It was only 2 stories but the floors were MASSIVE. We spent 2-3hrs but defo would’ve spent more if we visited every single room. It has a massive open window panel so the natural light is super beautiful on a sunny day. Would definitely recommend!! There’s also a summer promotion going on right now, so I definitely wouldn’t miss it.

Many wonderful exhibits to see - I always find contemporary art interesting. With that being said, the Canadian art is what I enjoy the most. Plenty of excellent examples from the group of seven and indigenous artists. Be sure to visit the Rideau Chapel while you’re there. Absolutely stunning.

I love how the buildings architecture makes the overall art experience even more incredible. Experiencing art is one thing but have it mixed with another form of art (architecture) and colored walls made me really enjoy this visit even more. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves art and architecture.

We came here to learn more about the indigenous cultures of Canada and for the children's museum. They have a great set up here, we were able to go to the children's museum right after getting our tickets to wear out our daughter a bit before going to the main museum. The children's museum is really interesting, much more than we had expected. It is really great that they have so many interactive and educational displays about different cultures around the world. Following the path from Asia, to Egypt to Mexico was a lot of fun. They have the room to rent marbles and other things to build as well. Definitely a must stop if you have kids. After she got a bit of her energy out we went upstairs to see the main exhibits. The long hallway with the mirrors telling the stories of places around the country was really interesting, a bit tricky to read, but very unique. The layout to walk through is fantastic. Walking through history from the indigenous communities, to the invasion from the French and British, to the modern day is so well laid out. Not too many interactive displays to keep our daughter entertained, but just enough. It was absolutely fascinating to basically walk through the history of Canada. Going downstairs to the great room/hall was incredible, the totem poles are enormous. Getting to see them in person and read about how the people carve them out was really impressive. I'm really glad we made the trip here and feel we got our money's worth.

What a great museum! I learned so much about Canadian history, with loads of surprises (and fun interactive features) throughout. I loved the layout, where on one side you wind through the history of Canada from ancient First Peoples to modern times. I loved learning about early French Canada and seeing Rocket Richard’s jersey. The other part of the museum was a massive First Peoples exhibit with buildings, totems and modern artwork. Super impressive. This museum was a great visit and would be perfect for families too.

I love this museum. There was so much to learn. It is so creative with its presentation and so informative too. Everyone must experience this and the war museum. We have so much to learn from the past. This museum made me feel connected to the people and their successes and struggles. The story of people migrating to Canada from different countries for different reasons. Anybody visiting Ottawa should definitely not miss this.

I took my kids to the Canadian Museum of History and had a fantastic time. The whole place is well-kept, clean, and thoughtfully designed for families. There are plenty of clean bathrooms (always a plus with kids), a cafeteria, and even vending machines for quick snacks. The highlight for us was definitely the Children’s Museum inside — my kids absolutely loved it. It can get a bit crowded and overwhelming during the summer holidays, but still totally worth it. I’ve also been during the school year and found it much calmer. We also explored the main history exhibits, which offer a fascinating look at both old and modern Canadian history. Beautiful displays, engaging content, and something for all ages. Highly recommend it for a fun and educational day out!

🏛️ Canadian Museum of History A museum that feels less like “reading plaques” and more like walking through Canada’s story. The Grand Hall is stunning — totem poles, Indigenous art, and that sweeping window view of Parliament. Exhibits span everything from First Peoples to pop culture, with immersive setups that pull you in. Kid-friendly zones that don’t feel like an afterthought. Visitors tip: Start at the top floor and work down for the best flow — but expect crowds in the Grand Hall. Bottom line: A beautiful, layered look at Canada that sticks with you.

Great place to visit, especially when the weather isn't great. Free coat check, a kids museum to let the littles run wild, and such an expansive collection of early Canadian history! I was also impressed with the very unique artifacts and the museum's commitment to return certain items or not display based on the requests of Indigenous groups.

Very well laid out main exhibits and you're able to go at your own pace depending on your group. Younger children will enjoy the great hall and the children's museum side of things. Cafe on site with a good selection of snacks and great views from the gardens

Night shot of illuminated Library of Parliament, Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada The beautiful architecture of the Library of Parliament makes for a great photo op from across the hill as well right from street level

Best free tour in Ottawa! I am biased as librarianship is my field of expertise but truly the library of parliament is one of the most beautiful libraries I have ever stepped into. The tour of Parliament is a great way to learn more about Canadian history especially how the government and legislative branch operates, I highly recommend it!

We couldn’t go inside but amazing building.

Area under construction but still a nice walk around the building.

It is always been a pleasure to take a walk after dinner behind the library

Library it's closed till 2032 due renovation at the building. What a boomer.

The place where you can feel the history! And panoramic view over the Ottawa river is amazing!

I recently visited the Canadian Museum of Nature and had an amazing time. The museum is well-organized, informative, and filled with fascinating artifacts and exhibits that appeal to both adults and kids. Each section offers something unique-from ancient fossils and minerals to wildlife displays and Indigenous stories that beautifully capture Canada’s natural history. What stood out most was how well the information is presented-clear, engaging, and easy to follow. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into curating each exhibit. The building itself is stunning, with a perfect blend of history and modern design. Overall, it was a fun, educational, and enriching experience. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Ottawa or simply curious about the wonders of nature!

I visited the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa not long ago, and overall it was a memorable experience — especially for anyone interested in natural history, fossils, and wildlife. The museum is housed in the stately Victoria Memorial Museum Building, which combines heritage architecture (stone, stained glass, carved details) with modern touches like a glass central tower added during renovations.  Walking through the galleries, you move through diverse themes: fossils and dinosaurs, mammals, birds, geology, marine life, and Arctic environments. The Fossil Gallery was a highlight — seeing dinosaur skeletons and ancient marine creatures up close gives you a tangible sense of deep time.  The Bird Gallery and Mammal Gallery also impressed me with their detailed dioramas and species variety.  I appreciated how many exhibits include interactive or “hands-on” elements: the “live” insect / invertebrate displays, touch stations, and immersive storytelling exhibits add energy to the space.  Also, temporary and feature exhibits (such as The Man Who Planted Trees) offer fresh perspectives and variety beyond the permanent galleries.  On the downside, when I was there the noise level rose in busier rooms, especially with children in tow, which made some exhibits harder to absorb fully.  I also found that a few sections seemed slightly dated or in need of refreshment to maintain visitor engagement.  I spent around 2½ to 3 hours exploring. For a casual visitor that’s enough to see the highlights; for someone keen on pausing at every exhibit, more time is justified. Overall, the museum offers a rich, educational, and often moving experience. If you’re in Ottawa, it’s absolutely worth a visit.

The butterfly flight was definitely the highlight-such a magical and calming experience! 🦋 Loved how friendly and welcoming the staff were throughout the visit. The museum perfectly blends architecture and nature, offering both beauty and learning in every corner. A must-visit spot for anyone who enjoys exploring science, wildlife, and art all in one place.

I just went today to go to the laid exhibits...the butterfly exhibit and the immersion "The Man Who Planed Trees" exhibit. Both were amazing. I will be going back in a few days to see all the free exhibits. The museum is amazing! All the staff were very friendly and helpful! I can't wait to see the rest of it!

I had so much fun at the museum. It wasn’t what I expected but exceeded my expectations for sure. Buying the tickets online makes your life so much easier. We were able to sign up to both the butterflies and man + trees exhibitions and it was surreal. I honestly would recommend it to everyone to have those visits this summer before it ends because it was so much fun. Take a look at the photos and videos below for more context and a sign for you to pay those tickets and see for yourself

There were some aspects of the museum that were incredible and very interesting such as the dinosaur exhibit and the blue whale, however some of the rooms were not very interesting or well done. There were some rooms that felt thrown together just to fill space such as the tree and arctic exhibits that was a quick walk through, but it is worth visiting for the other exhibits. It is easy to just go up and buy tickets so no need to buy in advance.

A great family experience. We especially enjoyed the butterfly exhibit my daughter (3) loved walking around with them fluttering around and landing on her, it was a small exhibit but very impactful. We also really enjoyed walking through the Dinosaur fossil exhibit and "real life" section. It was a great day out for us.

$5 tour is worth doing if you have a short time to visit but definitely could spend a whole day here! The cafe is affordable and the outside patio is a good break from the intense subject matter. The veteran's exhibit is a quiet place to contemplate in between learning about war as well. The building itself is a work of art along with the many pieces inside. Go downstairs to see the Viny Ridge plasters for sure and talk to others to gain insight!

After so many years living in the Ottawa Gatineau area I finally decided to visit this museum. I was very much surprised and impressed because I thought it might be a stale atmosphere because of the theme of the museum. I can honestly say it’s very well set up and very nicely organized. If you’re interested in the history of war, this is the place to come. 👍😎

The Canadian War Museum is one of those places that stays with you long after you leave. It’s not just a museum — it’s a powerful journey through Canada’s history, courage, and sacrifice. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels calm yet deeply emotional. The architecture alone tells a story, with every corner designed to make you reflect. Each exhibit is beautifully presented, combining personal stories, photos, artifacts, and multimedia in a way that connects you to the people behind the history. You don’t just learn about wars — you feel what Canadians went through. Couldn’t see The Memorial Hall. It’s also a great place for families; children love seeing the tanks, planes, and interactive displays. The museum is spotless, well-organized, and easy to explore at your own pace. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, always happy to share insights or answer questions. Whether you’re visiting Ottawa or live nearby, this museum is a must-see. It leaves you with a sense of gratitude and pride for those who served and a reminder of how precious peace truly is.

The Canadian War Museum in Ottawa offers a powerful and immersive look into Canada’s military history, from early conflicts to modern-day missions. Its exhibits are well-designed, combining artifacts, multimedia, and personal stories that make the experience both educational and emotional. Visitors especially enjoy the impressive displays of tanks, aircraft, and weapons, though the museum can feel overwhelming due to its depth and emotional weight. Overall, it’s a must-visit attraction that inspires reflection and appreciation for Canada’s sacrifices and contributions in war... 🇨🇦

I visited the War Museum last summer and can’t believe I missed writing about this fantastic experience! 🇨🇦 The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, deeply moving, and give a powerful glimpse into history. From the artifacts to the stories behind them, everything is presented in a way that makes you reflect and appreciate the sacrifices made. 🕊️ It’s both educational and emotional—a place that leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommend for anyone visiting, no matter your age or background.

A great place to visit if you want to learn more about Canada’s war history. There are many weapons and artifacts on display that vividly tell the story of past conflicts. The environment is clean, spacious, and well-organized, making it an engaging and educational experience.

Absolutely incredible museum from an information and visual perspective. It starts with four separate rooms explaining each era of Canadian war history with incredible artifacts and detailed descriptions of what occurred. Each area is very well down and then as you move to the end there is a whole floor filled with tanks and other military vehicles throughout the years of both Canadian and international origin. The museum does an amazing job of bringing war to life and helping you appreciate the scale of the wars and the equipment used. A can't miss if you are in Ottawa, however be prepared to spend a good three hours here.

It’s a canal of historic importance to Canada. There’s not much to do about it though, especially if it’s not frozen for skating. And I was only really able to get subpar pictures from the sides

Tourist in ottowa ! You need to see this . This is a place you want to see in summers and in winters. The vibe here is very nice - full atmosphere for a family outing plus amazing food options by the street . The walk around canal is amazing , you can take a walk by water , by the canal , you can walk over bridge to Quebec. Whole area is scenic and beautiful. You can also go for a run or ride a bike here . Additionally - these all places in Rideau Canal area are pet friendly too . So you can go for a walk with your pets on amazing trails . The o my struggle you may face is parking - which you can find if you drive around for 2-3 mins . Overall , this is the place to start your day in ottowa as a tourist and your day will pass by itself . If you are interested you can see when canal goes down and how water is balanced too.

It was an interesting tour, we learned some history. They use an electric boat. The way it's built does not allow you to enjoy the view, the seats face each other. Our guide had a good sense of humor, kept making jokes. There's is a toilet and bar on board.

Looking for the ultimate Ottawa experience? The Rideau Canal is a must-see, no matter the season! This UNESCO World Heritage Site winds through the heart of the city, offering a picture-perfect backdrop for every kind of adventure. In the warmer months, set sail on a boat cruise, cast a line for some fishing, or simply stroll or cycle along scenic pathways-don’t forget to pack some snacks for the ducks and enjoy a picnic by the water. When winter arrives, the canal transforms into the legendary Rideau Canal Skateway-the world’s largest naturally frozen ice rink! Glide across 7.8 kilometers of sparkling ice, warm up with a hot chocolate, and treat yourself to a classic BeaverTail pastry from one of the many stands along the way. If you’re visiting during Winterlude, Ottawa’s iconic winter festival, you’ll find the canal buzzing with music, art, and family-friendly fun, including giant snow slides and dazzling ice sculptures. Insider tip: Many of Ottawa’s top attractions-like Parliament Hill, the National Gallery, and the bustling ByWard Market-are just steps from the canal, making it easy to blend sightseeing with your outdoor adventures. Whether you’re walking the dog, skating with friends, or savoring local eats at cozy canal-side restaurants, the Rideau Canal is the place to be for unforgettable memories all year round!

Must visit place when in Ottawa. Boat ride or cycling whatever you prefer is a good way to spend time around the canal. There are not many places to park so look for parking options.

This is a 202 km long canal linking the Ottawa River in Ottawa to Lake Ontario in Kingston. It was constructed between 1826 to 1832 and includes 46 locks, raising boats 83 metres upstream to Rideau Lakes & lowering 50 metres back down to Kingston. The Rideau Canal is a UNESO World Heritage Site and considered to be the best preserved 'slackwater' canal in North America. You can view locks 1-8 directly from Plaza Bridge. This is a great spot for picture taking and to look at the mechanics of the canal from up close. Really neat bit of sightseeing in the the city centre of Ottawa, convenient to include along with intended attractions around Parliament Hill.

This was one of the prettiest places in Ottawa to sightsee, the view was most extraordinary.

Original machinery grinding flour on certain days. Historic gristmill located in Manotick, a charming village just south of Ottawa, Ontario. It’s one of the few working water-powered mills in Canada that still produces stone-ground flour today.

Manotick area as part of Ottawa - bearing historical background identified by the water powered turbines (manufactured in Ottawa) supplying power for mills - an outstanding example of mill architecture in Ontario - a good legacy of beginning of industrialization - a n awesome place to be visited - a combination of nature & legacy.

Worth visit! We and kids - all enjoyed it a lot! Hope to come next time and see how they mill the grains :)

Beautiful historical mill bring the traditions of the pioneer to live. Very well kept and cared for.

Beautiful mill!! The history is amazing..if you are in the right spot at the right time they will offer you to start the turbines...

Super cool place and even got to see the Mill in action. Impressive.

Historically very cool. The moving parts of the mill were amazing. A walkway outside pays honor to our fallen soldiers. Very nice.

Decent arena, showing its age. Quite a distance outside the city, reasonable parking price. Security is better than many arenas in the league. There is a discrepancy between what the website says in regards to bags (website says no bags at all) but in practice, bags seemed to be allowed within certain dimensions. Signage for food could be improved. Various foods were advertised around the concourse without any indication as to where these foods could be found (what sections these concessions were at). I was with my hangry girlfriend who wanted one of these foods and we walked around half the arena trying to find this particular food that was advertised and we couldn’t find it. Food and beer line ups were reasonable and quick. The egress after the game was a bit of a pain and took a lot of time. Traffic management could be improved for getting out.

Came to the home of the Ottawa Senators for their 2025-2026 Canadiens season home opener against the Predators. Great arena - it's a relatively new place, and what a crowd of fans! The arena is located in Kanata, which is west of Ottawa, so might help to have a car if you're planning a visit, like we were, from out of town. Overall, a great place to watch hockey and looking forward to a return trip. Recommended!

For being 30 years old, this arena is pretty great. The updates and amenities mean this is a really fun spot to watch a game or go to a concert. Parking lots are another story and the fact they still have not figured out how to get people out in reasonable time is hard to believe. That’s the reason for the 4-star review.

Excellent arena ... over the years, I must have been there 20 to 30 times for hockey games, conerts and other shows. This time it was Cirque de Soleil and their OVO spectacle, and every part of that experience was excellent. The parking was easy, the event was well staffed and the food/drinks were exceptional. The facility is well managed and maintained. The process of hosting visitors is well organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I remember when this place first opened as The Palladium in 1996, then as the name changed, how the letters on the sign were auctioned off. Living in Kanata, this stadium is both practical and sufficient, plus it's the home of our Ottawa Sens.

The Bryan Adams concert was absolutely amazing — such a great show! However, the experience was disappointing when it came to the disabled seating organizers. I called weeks in advance to ask for information and guidance on what to expect and how to prepare for the concert seating, but no one ever returned my calls or voicemails. Better communication and support for guests with accessibility needs would make the experience much smoother.

Joanne at guest services was an angel and sent Spartacat to our section because we were desperate for a photo on our Canadian hockey tour! Shari, our usher was so helpful in telling us where to get first game certificates and helping us with Spartacat. The whole staff at the arena was so kind and helpful. Entry to the venue was so easy, it was great we could be inside right away and hit the store before the game. Even leaving, staff was so great to find us the best location to be picked up at. Food was reasonably priced for a hockey venue and the crowd was so kind and lovely to even the visiting team and their fans. They have a fanboni and a band?! 10/10 would hockey here again.

Beautiful venue....lots of friendly, helpful staff when I was unsure where to go...food and drinks a little pricey but lots of choices. Went to see Darius Rucker and seats in the 100 were awesome!

Very interesting and informative museum that was once used during cold war and has jot been used since the early 90s. It has level 4 underground, seems simple from outside but it will bring you to new dimensions.

The amount of Canadian history crammed into this facility is amazing. It’s extremely well laid out and very very informative. We learned a lot about the Cold War era from the Canadian perspective. I highly recommend this facility. The staff were very friendly and the price is quite reasonable.

I’ve visited some pretty unusual places before, but this one ranks near the top! The sheer scope of this “secret” facility — built in less than 18 months back in 1959 — is absolutely mind-blowing. The Diefenbunker offers a fascinating glimpse into Cold War history, and it’s incredibly well-preserved. Our tour guide, Graham, a retired CSIS IT professional, was a superb storyteller. His anecdotes, humour, and passion really made the experience come alive — the perfect guide for a place that was never supposed to exist! If you’re anywhere near Ottawa, this is a must-see.

This is a great activity. An amazing piece of Canadian history. More than a museum considering the facility was actually in service up until early 1990s. It is a huge complex and there lots to see, and get lost. I would recommend a guided tour, but planning enough time before or after to roam around on your own too.

Great museum, I've been coming to this area for decades and only last year found our how close the bunker was to us. If you like history museums then this one is a must see. Mostly intact and well preserved, it will take about 3 hrs to walk, see and read the contents of the 4 floors. Lots of free parking and you can go have an awesome lunch at the Cheshire Cat just down the road.

This is trip to the past to understand better today’s events. Exiting walk trough the rooms where could be made so important decisions. It has much information about Cold War and the world of those years. Great museum which has to be attended!

Absolutely awesome tour! The bunker is in a time warp and the guided tour was extremely insightful on how soldiers and high command dignitaries as well as commanders operated in the bunker. The technology of running air and water systems was out of this world for the era of time. I would highly recommend the tour and a must see when visiting the Ottawa region! 10 stars if I could give it!

Small theatre however you can clearly see and hear from any point. The plays are very entertaining and professionally done. Small canteen offering drinks and snack food during intermission. Free parking.

July 2023 We went here for the first time. Easy to get to, free parking. We paid $40 for a ticket, but they are cheaper if you have an annual subscription. During intermission, you can buy drinks, non-alcoholic and alcoholic (local beer, local cider, wine, coffee) in the foyer.

Very nice theatre. It is well build : the scene is almost at ground level and there is an ascending slope starting from the first row so you got excellent view from any seat.

Love the comedy plays at the Upper Canada Playhouse. We saw Maggie's Getting Married and it was very comical. Nice small theatre so all seating is great to watch the plays

We've been to see a couple of plays and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even though it's an hour drive to Morrisburg, it is worth it to enjoy the high quality of the live theatre performed here.

Hurry Hard was one of my favourite live performances I've ever experienced. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon

Hurry Hard was mainly about relationship at a curling club. Funny parts, but would not recommend if you're a curler. A little disappointed

Visited this apple orchard recently and had such a great time! The place is well-maintained, with plenty of trees full of fresh, juicy apples to pick. The staff were welcoming and helpful, giving us tips on which areas had the best apples. The atmosphere was peaceful and perfect for a family outing—kids especially loved running around and picking their own apples. They also had a little farm store with fresh cider, baked goods, and jams, which made the visit even better. Prices were reasonable, and the overall experience felt very authentic and fun. Definitely worth visiting during apple season, whether you’re going with family, friends, or even just for a relaxing day outdoors.

Mountain Apple Orchards 🍎 We had such a great family day at Mountain Apple Orchards with our two kids (11 and 4 years old). No tickets or reservations needed, which makes it really easy to plan a visit. The farm was absolutely packed today - almost every parking spot was full, but that just shows how popular this place is! The tractor ride was a big hit with our kids, they loved every minute of it. We originally came for Honeycrisp apples, but the trees were already picked clean since it was only the second day of the season. That tells you how much everyone loves this farm! Luckily, we were still able to buy Honeycrisps at the farm store, along with other varieties like McIntosh. The corn maze was another highlight — our kids had a blast, and even my husband turned into a big kid playing hide and seek with them. Such a fun memory. The farm store had lots of goodies like donuts and other treats, but the lineups were pretty long, so we decided to save that for next time. Overall, it was a really fun day out with the family. Yes, it was busy, but that’s part of the atmosphere during apple season. We’ll definitely be back again! 🍏🍎🍂

One of the absolute best things to do in Fall! Beautiful orchards, delicious apples, fun for the whole family. They have tractor rides, a large corn maze, and various other activities for kids. The mini donuts are delicious as well!

A great local business and operation! Tons of stuff for your kids to do, amazing warm apple cider (or cold), butter tarts, donuts made on the spot and other apple based products. There is no admission fee and you can walk the whole place or take a wagon ride to and from the orchard. There is a corn maze and a quiet, beautiful forest hiking trail. It was short, sweet and we highly recommend this location to anyone looking to do something during the September or fall weekends !

Great place to bring the kids. I took a group of seniors. Some used walkers and was easy to get around. Even have wheelchair accessible portable toilets. Loved the fresh cooked donuts.

Upon arriving there is a choice of plentiful free parking on either side of the road and no admission fees. Arrived hungry? No problem. There’s a sausage and hotdog stand as well, apple donuts that may be purchased, pies, cider, etc. It appears they have thought of everything. Well facilitated with outdoor washrooms and bags for pets poop. You can choose to walk to the orchards or wait for a free wagon ride to and from. On the way, you’ll pass a sheltered playground housing bails of hay the kids play on and past that will be a corn maze. There are benches along the way as well as more washrooms and dog bags. Lots of picnic tables at the food stand and closer to the wagon drop off. You can easily spend a couple of hours on a weekend outing. We go every year!

We love going to this orchard. It is a yearly tradition we started with our kids whe they were small. Now they are young adults and we keep going. Wagon ride is still fun. We bring a picnic lunch abd always buy the apple flavored doughnuts and the apple cider is a must

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.

We wandered into this wonderful shop full of surprises. Oh the mustards are fantastic! and made local. Chocolates, teas snacks galore ! Its a must drop in while in Merrickville....

Very nice shop with so much selection from amazing mustards to cheeses, home decor, jams, spices, chocolates, cooking and baking tools... Take your time to browse and don't miss the upstairs selection as well. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Great selection of unique products. I find it difficult going in this store without buying something. Always something new to try out.

This charming shop offers many treats and gifts for yourself or the foodies in your life! There are 2 floors of epicurean and locally made delights: award-winning mustards, jams, soup packs, and sauces... and so much more. Plus utensils, pottery, drink mixes, beautiful kitchen towels, aprons, imported chocolates, and gift sets that would be the perfect gift... a feast for the eyes!! Merrickville is a lovely village, just 40 minutes from Ottawa, great eats & shopping

A nice shop with a variety of foods and gadgets. You're bound to find something you like. Like the way it is decorated and laid out, lots of different seasonings, and mustards.

Awesome little fine food shop with award winning homemade mustard and many other unique finds!

A museum we do not often hear about, and which happens to be tucked into a quiet corner of a quiet township. My wife and I have been to Smiths Falls on more occasion than once, but this was the first time we really noticed this museum. And I'm glad we did. This is supposedly a railway station converted to a museum, which retains the flavor of the original railway station. The museum is well-maintained, with a wide array of exhibits from way back then. They have train engines and compartments sitting on the rail by the museum. And the interior of those too are maintained well, and preserved in a state that's as close as possible to their original. There is a gift shop in the museum, which is pretty well-stocked with various souvenirs, mostly related to the Canadian National Railways. However, I found those to be a bit pricey. The staff in the museum are very cordial and helpful. And, there is ample parking in the premises. Finally, what surprised me, and what I didn't know about is that a train compartment or two are also rented out as Airbnb.

We got to stay over in the 1945 train caboose on the RMEO grounds. We booked it through Air BnB. It was such a fun experience and we loved every minute. The staff were so lovely, the stay was peaceful and quiet. We had the best time. If you’re into staying at unique places, add this to your list!

This place is such a gem. We have been here multiple times, their holiday events are the best. Today, we discovered that they put in a Steam Train Children’s Learning Center. My daughter didn’t want to leave!

Amazing!!! The kids absolutely loved it. We also stayed overnight in the arbnb and had a magical experience having the place to ourselves.

A wonderful place for both adults and kids. Each train has its own unique character, making it a real treasure to visit.

Staying overnight in the caboose was such a unique and memorable experience! The beds were very comfortable, and everything was spotless — the kitchen and bathroom were clean and well kept. The staff were friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. The railway museum itself was fascinating and so well done — we could have spent hours exploring. An outstanding stay that combined comfort, history, and a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fun for any who love trains! You can see the inside of a caboose from the 20's and 40's, and go into the dining car, circa 1875. There is the old station to explore and the telegraph office with loads of artifacts. There is a very creative train related area to keep children from 5-10 year old interested for a while. Washrooms and a limited amount of free parking are available, as well as a gift area.

Really beautiful museum and gardens! The staff were very kind and knowledgeable. A great place for a visit if you haven’t been yet.

An absolutely amazing mansion, preserved as if the owners had just stepped out for a while. Our guide told us the fascinating story of George Fulford and the Pink Pills which paved the way to international fortune.

Beautiful place rich with history. Every single thing in there is art, even the ceilings. That’s amazing. Cassie is also amazing! She has a lot of knowledge about the space and made visiting Fulford Place lively and enjoyable :)

We had our wedding ceremony on the beautiful balcony of Fulford Place for 70 guests, and it was absolutely perfect! The backdrop of the St. Lawrence River and the stunning building created a breathtaking setting. The gardens provided perfect spots for our wedding photos. The staff and volunteers were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. From the beginning, the communication of expectations and guidance was clear and professional. They accommodated our guests' needs and assisted with setting up and tearing down tables and chairs. Thank you to everyone at Fulford Place for helping our ceremony become the most perfect moment of our lives. We highly recommend this venue for any special occasion!

Nice House! Possibility for guided tour or self-guided tour with tablet. Very well maintened and lot of history.

Travel from Montreal....What a nice guided tour...very interesting and not expensive at all. I usually don't care that much to visit museum like that ... but this time I really enjoy it. It was around an hour tour and it pass fast. The man doing the tour was dynamic and interesting to listen to. I recommend this guided tour.

Arrived shortly after opening on a Sunday but didn't know about the guided tours that start on the hour, so we did the self-guided option and it took a good hour to explore the place at a leisurely pace. The house itself is beautifully maintained and a feast for the eyes. The garden, perhaps because we were visiting in the dog days of summer and because I had higher expectations of Olmsted landscape architecture, was looking a little wilted but still pretty enough. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Brockville!

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.

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:)

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.

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.

Absolutely fabulous historical find - and it’s free! Great tour guide, fabulously restored mill with some really cool original pieces. I highly recommend this place and it’s worth a detour as well!

Visited Wednesday June 26, 2024. Really interesting mill here. Fantastically restored. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the mill’s history and heritage. Thanks very much.

Lovely historic mill. Had a great visit, the explanation and signs were very clear and informative.

Friendly staff with great interactive show cases! All free too look at as well.

Gillian gave us an entertaining and highly-informative tour!

Fascinating journey into Ontario's past. Tour guide was very articulate and well-informed.

We are so happy that we stopped in Delta to check out this historic place. The staff were very well informed, dressed in period costumes, and charming. You may see a couple of folks just hanging out in the gift shop near the entrance, they're usually members of the restoration group, and full of fun facts. The exibits are well labeled, and well explained. The building itself is the star of the show. One of the volunteers had made brownies and was giving them away to us visitors. The gift shop had some fresh all grain flour we bought.

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.

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! My only complaint was that the gift shop was kinda lame. I definitely want to renew my vows here in a few years.

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!

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!

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-

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.

Had a wonderful dinner and gambled! Walked out with extra money and a very full satisfied tummy! Spent the night in our rv, very quiet area. Thanks for a terrific evening😊

a terrific casino and entertainment center. it's always a good time. the staff are super friendly and courteous. the place is always neat and tidy. the security team keeps everything in order. a great vibe here. we had our emotional support dog and she respected the place while being quiet and sitting or laying down

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic museum showing the history of wooden boat building. Many finding example examples to admire. spend the extra three dollars and take the tour of the bolt house boat. It’s well worth the time and money.
