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

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

Great experience and view, while waiting for the game to start I recommend going to the Farris wheel. The seats inside the stadium are very comfortable and quality. The food is great, especially the hotdogs. Overall I recommend going and buy tickets in advance.

I have been to a few Tigers games and man I love this field! There is not a bad seat in the house and the food and drinks along with the little stores inside are so good! If you get a seat on the higher stands the bathrooms aren’t bad to get in and out of either! Overall and amazing time.

Amazing simply a great place for the whole family! Comerica Park offers all types of venues from baseball football basketball concerts Grand events you name it this is the perfect place for so many different venues there are tons of restaurants in the area quick access to the freeway lots of stores and shopping just an amazing place

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

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

This is Quite a Gem in the Travels that I have found. It was a fine Thursday evening with jazz music in the background. It was quaint with all the nice furniture that shown excellence even in the wait staff Very professional top notch and very attentive like I was in a really nice steakhouse. I did sit at the bar and Julia (I think that’s what I remember) was very friendly and made sure I was taken care of and the Italian food was so delicious as I had the pepper chicken with angel hair pasta in a nice creme sauce. It came with soup. I had dessert to end my meal off with a mocha cheesecake to die for!

We had a group of 12 of us that went in for dinner before a show at the Fox Theatre. It was fairly easy to get reservations of that size which was lovely. Andiamo’s is located inside the Renaissance center.The restaurant is beautifully decorated with the view of Canada across the river. It gives off elegant, high-end restaurant vibes. Frankee and Ahmed were our servers. They did a wonderful job with recommendations. I went in with one flavor in mind and ended up picking one of the specials instead, based on Frankee’s recommendation. Instead of Bolognese lasagna, I got a delicious lobster tail, scallops, shrimp with a side of the best fettuccine Alfredo I’ve ever had in my life. Everything was cooked perfectly with delicious flavors and tenderness as you expect with seafood. I’ve been to a couple other locations and in my opinion, this one was the best so far. Every single person at our table was raving about their food and how nice the place was. Highly recommending this for groups, date, nights, and anything in between.

An evening at Andiamo Detroit Riverfront unfolds like a well-rehearsed symphony. Each course, each detail, paced with poise, evoking both comfort and craft. Nestled within the glass-lined expanse of the Renaissance Center’s Wintergarden, the restaurant commands a rare perspective. Detroit’s city lights shimmer across the river, with Windsor just a breath away. It is a setting that feels cinematic, the sort of view one leans into between courses, glass in hand. The meal began with Gamberetti di Andiamo, a composition of colossal shrimp, tender yet assertively seared, bathed in a lemon-tomato broth fragrant with white wine, garlic, and softened leeks. The toasted sourdough, given more than a passing thought, offered a rustic foil to the bright, aromatic sauce. A dish that plays to both northern restraint and southern exuberance in equal measure. Bread service, often overlooked elsewhere, here became something of a ceremony. Warm breads and crispy sticks accompanied by a vibrant olive oil infusion punched up with garlic, cracked pepper, and herbs just bruised enough to release their oils. It set a generous tone, one that carried forward throughout the meal. The house salad was a quiet triumph of simplicity. Crisp field greens, ribbons of carrot, cool garbanzo beans, cucumber, and tomato, all pulled together by a creamy garlic dressing that whispered rather than shouted. Pasta e Fagioli arrived humble in presentation but deeply rooted in flavor. White beans, sausage, and greens melding into a rustic, soul-warming broth. It is the sort of dish that could just as easily have come from a grandmother’s kitchen in Emilia-Romagna as from a polished kitchen in downtown Detroit. The centerpiece, a ten-ounce filet cooked precisely to medium, was as well-executed as any steakhouse might promise. Elevated here by its companions, tender scallops, a meaty portobello cap, fingerling potatoes roasted just to the edge of crisp, and asparagus kissed by heat until its bitterness mellowed into something sweet and green. Dessert was a restrained finish. A tart raspberry sorbet, bright and palate-cleansing, followed by a cappuccino of admirable structure. Dense crema, deeply roasted notes, and no trace of bitterness. The detail that sealed it was almost whispered into the experience. A delicate stick of rock candy offered as a stirrer. It was not just charming. It was considered. The sort of flourish that speaks not to trend, but to tradition and intention. Service, too, deserves its due. Mike H, my server, struck that delicate balance between discretion and attentiveness. His recommendations were unforced and well-considered, and his timing impeccable. Never rushed, never distant. Andiamo Riverfront is no stranger to high expectations, bearing the name and pedigree of the Joe Vicari Restaurant Group. But it is not merely riding on legacy. This is a restaurant that still believes in the ceremony of dining, an ethos built not just on what is on the plate, but how it is offered. The result is something rare, a meal that does not just satisfy, but stays with you. Many thanks to Frank Knox for the recommendation.

Our first visit to Andiamo was made amazing by Mike H. He was attentive, explained everything amazingly, and did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome. My boyfriend and I were so elated to celebrate our anniversary with Mike H and the team. I can’t wait to return for more delicious food and cocktails

Our meal was one of the best meals we have ever eaten out. Everything was cooked to perfection. Our server, Frankie, was so friendly and we spent a little time chatting about Detroit and cooking. She is very personable and added to our enjoyment of the meal. Whenever we are back in Detroit, we will be coming to Andiamos!

Mike P was a great server. He was friendly and paid attention to detail and recommended the best drinks and food. It was my husband and I’s anniversary and he gave us space and only came over when it looked like we needed something. Also, the owner Mike Nowinski was friendly and took the time to visit each table, you can tell he loves what he’s doing. We’ll definitely be back!

Spent my birthday here and was absolutely phenomenal! Service was great with food fresh and hot, along with fast service. 10/10 would recommend! Ask for Jenn as your server, she goes above and beyond!

Absolutely love this place. It's an amazing experience every single time. It's not really family friendly because the pool and most restaurants are in the 19+ tower. There is a great variety of restaurants and casino games. The dealers are welcoming and fun to be around. The rooms are beautiful. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful at all times. I will 100% be returning to this location for future vacations. I recommend asking for the river view.

“I had a great stay at the casino! The room was big, clean, and very comfortable. The service was really, really good from start to finish. The food was delicious, definitely a highlight of the trip. It was also cool traveling to Canada to get there — no wait at the bridge at all. Didn’t have much luck winning, but I still enjoyed my stay overall. I’d happily come back!”

Nice casino, friendly staff. The have a very nice selection of slots and card games. No smoking, but have heated smoking area. Better than MGM in Detroit. Although if you’re looking for a casino to smoke in go to the Hollywood in Detroit. Caesar’s had good food and restaurant selections. My wife and I had a great time. Would recommend stopping in and having a good time.

We got married in the Augustus 27 in May 2025 (ceremony and reception). Can't recommend this venue enough, the view, food, drinks, hotel rooms and everything in between was amazing. Truly the best view in the city, especially at night. The onsite coordinator (Jennifer) makes planning with vendors really seamless. All the staff we encountered were lovely (special shoutout to Ramona and our bartenders night of). We got many compliments from guests on the venue and the convenience of staying at the casino. We are so happy we booked it. Thank you to the team for giving us our dream wedding!

We had the immense displeasure of staying at this hotel over the weekend for a wedding. The parking is a mess. The room walls are paper thin, and so we were forced to listen to men violently expell their insides both nights we stayed. There are minimal amenities on the Augustus tower for families, with apparently no access to a family friendly pool or non-dinner food establishments. Their Tim Hortons is on the Adults Only side, which allowed no access for the children. Granted that oversight was on the Wedding organizers for planning a wedding at a Mainly adults only hotel. The valet attendents are incredibly rude and damaged my vehicle while it was in their care. They claim it was just "wear and tear" and they aren't responsible for damages because the valet attendant "didn't maliciously cause the damage" since he didn't "punch the buttons" when he was using my vehicle. Absolutely ridiculous and wildly inappropriate customer service. The only thing I could POSSIBLY say was nice about this hotel was the riverside rooms had a nice view.

I rented a room on a weekday during home renovations. To my surprise, the room was 330/night including resort fees, although we have players cards. The shower had moldy corners and the bathroom door had dirty finger prints on it that haven’t been wiped in months. I left the room an hour after check in because it was disgustingly dirty. On a subsequent visit I valet parked, and when I picked up my car, both front seats were moved from the original position and there was a strong spray odour in the car. I called management and reported that I am allergic to fragrances and complained about it. Spoke to five unhelpful people. Finally, one ‘manager’ told me that they checked surveillance, and that no one smoked or sprayed anything in my car. Can’t believe I paid $45 for parking (including tips) just to get sick in my own car. Both my mom and I smelled it and noticed the seats. Two extremely disappointing experiences and managers who do not take any responsibility. You can do better than that!

Our stay at Caesars Windsor. It was a very relaxing Wasn’t the overly rush, rush around of a typical Las Vegas casino. The staff for the most part was very friendly. The best part of our trip was at Nero’s steakhouse, the food and service were fantastic. Highly recommend sitting at the bar if Jennifer T is behind the bar. She has a pretty good following of regular customers with some fun and great stories. Being from NH celebrating our anniversary it was a delightful experience!

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

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

I love coming here. Always a calm vibe and plenty of variety of shops. I also love that the mall is dog friendly. Mostly a fashion mall, but there are some other cool stores here as well

Very nice place for shopping! 🛍 Plus they have a few restaurants, and a movie theater for entertainment. Nice place to spend a day out with family or friends 🧡.

Great atmosphere! Pet friendly! Amazing atmosphere especially around Christmas. They are just lacking better stores. At lot of wasted space

Partridge Creek Mall is the most beautiful mall I’ve had the pleasure to shop, go to the movies and take in to excellent restaurants. I hope it lives forever for future generations to enjoy!

Tell me, who can't have a good time here?! Beautiful layout. Wonderful stores to browse through. Kids playing in the water fountain pads. Just a great way to spend the afternoon....walking around...shopping. Fabulous anytime of the year!!

Point Pelee National Park is a beautiful gem! The park offers stunning landscapes, from the wetlands to the forest trails, and the views at the point are incredible. I especially loved the birdwatching opportunities, as the park is a prime spot for migratory birds. The trails are well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and informative. The visitor center is a nice touch, with helpful exhibits and a small gift shop. Overall, it’s a peaceful and scenic park that’s definitely worth a visit, especially if you love nature and wildlife. Would highly recommend!

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

Beautiful, easily accessible national park which should not be missed if you are in southern Ontario. We were there in early October 2024, and there were little to no crowds. There is a free shuttle from the visitor center to the point trailhead, and the hike to the point is very manageable, even for someone like me who walks with a cane. The scenery is quite stunning. Overall, a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our fall break.

The park has lots of things to do, bike, hike, kayak, swim, camp, or just enjoy the beautiful vistas. It is not super large so we were able to do a lot in just one day, the northwest beach was great for relaxing, sandy, no waves and modest incline so it was perfect for throwing a frisbee and a good long swim. Parking, picnic tables and washrooms were all nearby and clean. No reservation is needed for day use, just pay the parking fee (17.50 cad per car) we visited on a Sunday and it was not crowded at all, the only crowded part was the tip, the line for the shuttle that takes you there may get long but it runs every 15-20 minutes so you may wait have to wait on line depending on the time of day or you could spend that time walking there instead.

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

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

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

We visited Storybook Gardens recently and it was a fun day out with the kids. They charge $9 per person for entry, and inside they have a few rides, a splash pad, some shows, and nice pond lookout areas. It’s definitely a good spot for kids to spend the whole day running around and enjoying themselves. They charge $3 per ride ticket, and most rides need one ticket. The Ferris wheel needs two tickets for adults. They also offer an all-day unlimited rides pass for $15, but honestly, I don’t think it’s worth it at that price. Maybe if it were $10, it would feel like a better deal. Some of the rides include a carousel, elephant ride, Ferris wheel, swing, and a mini train. Sadly, the Ferris wheel and elephant ride weren’t working when we went, which was a bit disappointing. It would be great if they had a deal like 10 ride tickets for $15 to make it more budget-friendly for families. The splash pad wasn’t amazing, but it was enough for the kids to have some fun and cool off a bit. Overall, it’s a nice place for a one-time visit, especially if you have young kids. But if they lowered the entry fee to around $5 and made ride tickets a bit more affordable, I think more families would visit more often.

Truly magical! My daughter made enchanting memories. See photos for details of what they have (plus a splash pad). Definitely worth the drive there.

LOVE this place. This is such a cute park for toddlers and young ones especially. The splash pad is huge and I had a hard time convincing my kid to come out to do other things like the rides, small village play area and face painting. We were here for a few hours and still didn't manage to do everything. There are some fun play structures for older kids too. The rides are pretty simple but fun for kids. They had a little race track with bikes and toddler cars that the kids adored too. We will definitely be back. This place is over an hour drive from home for us but we loved it. There are seating areas to eat and you can bring your own food or purchase some from the few vendor areas.

Fun spot for a family day! The kids loved the splash pad and playground, and the little rides were a hit. Some areas feel a bit old and could use a refresh, but overall it’s a cute place to spend a few hours. Prices are fair, parking is easy, and there’s plenty to keep the kids happy

A Magical Day at Storybook Gardens We visited Storybook Gardens today with my girls, and it was truly a magical experience from start to finish. I honestly can't believe this beautiful park has been so close to us all this time—and we never knew about it! From the moment you step through the castle doors, it feels like you’ve entered a storybook world. The kids were absolutely mesmerized. There’s an incredible amount to see and do. The park is filled with charming attractions—rides, multiple playgrounds, pedal cars, a refreshing splash pad, and even adorable miniature villages. Along the way, there are fun photo ops with beloved storybook characters like Moby Dick, Humpty Dumpty, and the Cheshire Cat, which added so much whimsy and excitement for the little ones. What really impressed me as a parent/grandparent was how family-friendly the entire park is. There are plenty of shaded rest areas, lots of seating, and the washrooms were clean and easy to find. For lunch, we enjoyed grilled paninis (which were delicious!) from the on-site café. Overall, I’d highly recommend Storybook Gardens for a fun, affordable, and memorable family outing. Whether you're visiting with your kids or grandkids, it’s a fantastic place to spend the day making lasting memories.

So much fun and soany memories flood backbin here. Things have changed over the years but still an awesome place for family to spend time to get her and having fun. Came here a couple times as a kid myself and now shared Storybook with my youngest 13 yr old daughter. She enjoyed the Gardens emensly! Thanks for having us. Hope to come back again.

Great place for kids! We were here for the first time and spent almost all day there. There are 5 attractions that you have to pay extra for riding on them. Attractions old but still fun for kids. We bought unlimited riding bracelets for our kids and it was great decisions! If you don't want to pay extra for the rides there are still lots to do in the park: jumping pillow, cars rides, splash pad, shows, 3 great playgrounds - for all of these you don't need to pay! Also you have to know that if would be rainy day the train would not work!

Port Stanley Beach is a hidden gem! The beach is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxing day trip. The water was calm and great for swimming, especially for families with kids. Plenty of space to lay out, enjoy the sun, or take a walk along the shore. The nearby restaurants and cute little shops add a nice touch to the experience. Parking was easy compared to other busy beaches. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Over the weekend, I took a trip to the London/Kitchener area and explored some charming small towns along the way. I stopped in St. Thomas and Port Stanley, treating myself to Shaw’s Ice Cream before heading to Port Stanley Beach. I soaked up the sunshine, enjoyed the breeze, and cooled off with that sweet, creamy treat.

Port Stanley Beach is a gem along Ontario’s Lake Erie shoreline, offering soft sand, clear waters, and a charming small-town vibe. The beach itself is perfect for families, sunbathers, and water sports enthusiasts, with ample space to relax and enjoy the scenic views. The nearby shops and restaurants add to the appeal, making it a great day-trip destination. However, the experience is marred by the overzealous parking enforcement. The officers are relentless, issuing tickets for even a minute’s overstay or minor infractions. It feels like they’re more focused on revenue than fairness. Worse, if you try to contest a ticket or explain your situation, you’re met with robotic responses and no human empathy—good luck finding someone willing to listen. This draconian approach to parking detracts from an otherwise delightful beach visit.

It's an okay beach, there are a lot of sticks and stone, semi convenient parking, you do have to pay. The pear is nice, there is a sitting area; Didn't go into the water, but it seems good, and there is lots of space. Beutiful view over the water. It's worth going to if you're close, Its very much a tourist town, but it's cute, it looks nice, and it seemed clean, worth a walk or two.

Great beach for picnic and some family time.. we really enjoyed. Visiting again soon..

Nice beach, parking is free after 5pm. Went on a Wednesday @5pm, not busy at all. Sand feels nice but lots of small sticks and rocks closer to the water.

Nice sandy beach. Lots of parking. Bars and restaurants. Shallow water good for kids.

Canada Life Place is a great venue spot. I have been here for multiple concerts/events and they are always done well. Lights and sound are fantastic. The staff are very kind and easy to talk to. Hassle free process getting in and to your seats. There are lots of places to get food and drinks, as well as many bathrooms. Drink prices are a bit much but other than that it is great!

Best place in London For large Band Concerts. But Beer is Super Over Priced !! Last call is too early. The London Knights Burger is Awesome! No re‐entry is really Sad.the used to have smoker zones, no more.

My wife and I got tickets to go see AEW. The arena was really nice. Had an aisle seat couple times people going up the stairs drop their drinks. Staff had someone come and clean it up right away. Great arena and view to watch wrestling. crowd was amazing. the vibe was good. Highly recommend.

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

I had an amazing experience at Canada Life Place for the Avril Lavigne concert! The security staff was super helpful, guiding me to my seats efficiently; I had friendly interactions with security team members, thank you! The concert setup was fantastic, great lighting, sound, and overall vibe. Everything ran smoothly, and the venue was clean and well organized, the seats for the pit were also comfy. Big thanks to the security team, once again, for making the night stress-free, and efficent at every step of the way. I’d definitely come back for another live event here!

Drove from ajax to London to go see AEW and it was worth it, the staff were super nice, and the fact they had seating for specially able people was lovely

Saw Sarah McLachlan LIVE there Oct 26 with opening act Tiny Habits they were both fantastic 🤩🤩

The Avon Theatre in Stratford is a charming venue, with a classic look on the outside and a comfortable, welcoming feel inside. The seats are fairly comfortable with the sound and lighting being usually excellent. The location is great too — right in the heart of Stratford, close to shops, cafes, and parking. The staff are friendly and helpful. One thing to note is that the seating can feel a bit tight if the theatre is full, especially in the older sections, as was my case when I went to watch Macbeth there recently. Also, some of the best seats tend to sell out quickly, so it's a good idea to book in advance. Overall, the Avon Theatre is a nice place to enjoy live performances, especially as part of the Stratford Festival. The quality of the performances is first-rate.  As part of the Stratford Festival, the productions are top-tier. The Stratford Shakespeare Festival was launched in 1952 by Tom Patterson, a local journalist. Today, it has grown into one of Canada’s most popular cultural events. His vision was to bring Shakespeare's works to life in the town of Stratford, Ontario, a location that shared its name with the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. At the time, Stratford was a small town, but Patterson believed that bringing Shakespeare’s works to the town could not only elevate its cultural profile but also serve as an economic boost, drawing tourists from around the world. The idea was somewhat ambitious, given that Stratford was not known for its theater scene at that time. Patterson's vision eventually gained support from several key figures, with local residents rallying behind the project.

We watched a beautiful reproduction of the Anne of the green Gables in Avon theatre in downtown Stratford. The venue is great with a beautiful layout. The production was also amazing. Strongly recommend watching Anne of the Green Gables.

First time seeing a show here. Seats I picked were wrong for a tall person like me. Avoid seats over a doorway with a ledge, very tight. Beautiful theater, very nice staff

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

Saw Macbeth and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels playing here this season. Superb. All the theatres in Stratford are excellent, with the Avon being no exception. Comfortable seating. Recommend coming here for top quality theatre.

We watched anne of green gables. Loved the production and set. Well executed. The theater is cozy and everything is well managed.

We came to see Macbeth and I don't think I've ever seen a show with better stagecrafting! The theater was lovely, with a really nice shop and a concession area where you could pre-order for intermission! What a great idea! We'll definitely be back again!

Theatre has a lovely outdoor patio. Parking on site is available and wasn't full at all. Good view from all seats inside

Amazing venue designed for stage plays! The staff, architecture, washrooms and maintenance were all excellent. The food and drinks at the cafeteria could have had more variety though.

We went to see Ransacking Troy, and I was blown away. And not just by the play, but by the theater as well. A beautiful building inside and out, with a store, dining and bar areas and not a single bad seat in the whole house. I will definitely be coming back!

Lovely modern theatre with interesting architecture and kind staff! It was a joy to watch The Winter’s Tale here with friends.

Incredible theatre built in 2020. Modern amenities, brilliant architecture, exquisite staging, lighting, and stagecraft. We saw two plays here (The Winter's Tale and Forgiveness) and both were extremely well done and enhanced by their presentation at Tom Patterson Theatre.

A very nice, modern theatre. The stage forms a narrow peninsula surrounded by the audience. This makes for a very different experience.

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

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

Fantastic spot - totally exceeded expectations - the website does not do justice to how great it is. The overnight units (cabins and yurts) are well designed, clean and equipped including bed warming pads for the autumn time. The grounds are well maintained and the view from the trails and restaurant are exceptional esp. at sunrise/sunset. trails are lovely for hiking or biking and they've got some GREAT Rocky Mountain bikes to rent. ziplining was fun & the Joro hot/cold spa/sauna/plunge was really fun - owner was super helpful and kind with showing us how to 'adjust' the cold plunge well. all around fabulous experience

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

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

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

5 of us did the zip-lining. Ages 10-44. Our guides were Tori and Nate. They were both excellent! They played well off each other and always kept us informed, entertained and engaged. Safety always top priority. I was very impressed by Tori when she answered my question on line tensile strength without missing a beat! Lots of fun had by all. Highly recommend. We also had lunch at Marshview afterwards. Excellent food, atmosphere and view.

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

First off, the reservations — you have to book a time slot online and pay for tickets ahead of your visit. They clearly state they may turn away walk-ins if it’s busy. Understandable, since the butterfly area is small, and they don’t want to overcrowd it. On the plus side, parking is free and there’s plenty of it. Inside, there’s a small cafeteria and even a little playground for kids. The entrance leads to a small welcome area, and then you pass through double doors into the butterfly conservatory. The space is kept warm and humid for the butterflies — which feels nice on a cold winter day, but on a sunny day I was sweating buckets. There are lots of butterflies, and if you’re lucky one might even land on you. Now the downsides: the arena is very small. You can easily see the whole thing in under 15 minutes. For the size, the ticket prices feel steep. They don’t allow outside food, which is tough considering many visitors are families with kids, and there’s no designated area to sit and eat your own snacks anyway. If you’re a larger family with kids over 2, expect to spend quite a bit between tickets and the cafeteria. Overall, it’s worth visiting once for the experience, but don’t stress if you skip it — you’re not missing a full-day adventure.

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

I recently went to a wedding at the Butterfly Conservation in Cambridge, and it was such a unique and beautiful venue. Being surrounded by butterflies and lush greenery made the whole day feel magical and intimate. It’s such a peaceful setting — perfect for a wedding which is what I was there for. The staff were kind and helpful, and everything felt really well taken care of. It was such a special experience, and I can’t think of a more memorable place to celebrate a wedding.

Such a beautiful and relaxing place to visit! The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory feels like stepping into a tropical paradise right in the middle of the city. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by warm air, lush greenery, and butterflies flying all around you – some might even land on you if you’re lucky! 🦋 It’s not just butterflies either – there are little birds, fish ponds, and some really unique insects to see in the side displays. The whole place is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and happy to answer questions. It’s a great spot for kids (they get so excited when a butterfly sits on them!) but also really peaceful for adults who just want to enjoy nature and take photos. You don’t need a ton of time to go through, but it’s such a calming and refreshing experience that you’ll want to stay longer. Definitely recommend this place for families, couples, or anyone looking for something different and relaxing to do in the Cambridge/Kitchener-Waterloo area.

I had a pleasant overall experience, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the visit enjoyable. The pricing seemed fair, but it did feel a little less worthwhile because of the limited space and the relatively small variety of species available to see. The place itself is quite compact, so it’s best to visit during quieter times. If it gets crowded, the area can feel congested and a bit overwhelming. There are lots of butterflies, although most of them are of the same species, which reduces some of the excitement. Other than butterflies, there are only about ten different types of creatures to observe. There is also a cafeteria on-site, but the menu options are limited, so don’t expect too much variety in food choices.

This will be such a great place for family with kids, or couples. Lovely garden with tons of butterflies surrounding, and if you take a little peak in the bushes, you might spot some little birds under. Me and my friends spent at least 2 hours there, just in an awe.

This is a great place to learn about the life cycle of butterflies and admire them closely. My visit last weekend was my third time around. There is no extra cost for parking and generally, I get the feeling that I was able to see more butterflies than the other version in Niagara Falls. The staff is very friendly and enjoy interacting with those visiting this location.

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

Such a nice theatre. Comfortable seats. Friendly staff. Free parking.

We went to see Ali Hassan’s comedy show at the Hamilton Family Theatre and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly. The seating was comfortable with a great view from every spot. Perfect venue for a night of laughs and entertainment!

One of my favourite theatres. Due to the size there is not a bad seat anywhere. Even to the fat sides you don’t get a blocked view. There is lots of parking and the staff are very kind. Been to many shows here, they always hire great performers, directors and crew that make every show feel like one of kind.

A group from my church went to see the play Jesus Christ Superstar. The theatre is beautiful and I think every seat has an excellent view. The acoustics were great. Judas was amazing. I could listen to his voice all night.

Friendly and helpful staff, very comfortable seats and parking available. Excellent views from all seats.

Excellent experience. The play was well done (Witness for the Prosecution) and seats are quite comfortable. Parking is adequate and everything is very orderly. What more could you ask for?

Rockwood Conservation Area, located just outside Toronto, is a hidden gem that offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty and recreational activities. This stunning park is a haven for nature lovers, featuring majestic limestone cliffs, caves, and glacial potholes that captivate visitors with their ancient charm. The lush forests and serene river create an idyllic setting for hiking, canoeing, and photography. The well-maintained trails are suitable for all ages and provide breathtaking views at every turn. Camping at Rockwood is a treat, with spacious sites that offer privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff is friendly and ensures that the park remains clean and safe for everyone. Families, in particular, will love the swimming area, complete with a sandy beach perfect for a relaxing day by the water. Whether you’re looking for a day trip or a weekend getaway, Rockwood Conservation Area delivers an unforgettable experience. It’s a perfect escape from the city’s hustle and a place where nature’s beauty truly shines.

We just spent 5 days camping with friends. Clean and quiet this time of year. We enjoyed hiking to the caves and around the old Mill and really enjoyed kayaking the calm beautiful water. Just a little over an hour to putter the nooks and crannies but so good for your soul!

Beautiful and quite easy trail. (We were with small kids so we went to the mill ruins, but then decided to go around and visit the lookout - worth it!!). There are a picturesque mill ruins, the dam with kind of waterfall, cave. A lot of parking places, small beach, picnik area with bbq, drinking water and toilets. Ps From the official site: The conservation area charges an admission fee. 2024 Fees Preschool (3 and under): Free Child (4-12): $3.75 Adult (13-64): $8.50 Seniors (65+)/ People with disabilities $6.75

I must say it was a bit of a let down. Elora is a beautiful town. The gorge and natural surroundings are impressive. So to drive 30 minutes from Elora to get to this beach, I had expectations. It's a small beach on a small artificial bay created by a dam. It has great facilities and parking. And because we camped at the Elora Gorge Conservation Area we didn't have to pay to access this beach. That was a good thing. It's a good day beach for small kids.

We had a great day experience. We have been there on a Long Weekend. I love the grounds. Very well kept. A great family environment. The park was not very crowded, there was grass everywhere even near the beach, the beach was well maintained with adequate amount of sand. For those who like to hike, there are plenty of options to walk around the lake. This park is much better maintained. We rented Canoe and it was an awesome experience. You have Plenty of space for Kayaking. From Hiking, Canoeing, Fishing & Picnic setups this park will not disappoint you.

Great spot for both hiking and kayaking. I've visited several times for kayaking, and it never gets old. The combination of rocks and water always gives it a fresh, uncharted feel. (August)

A great fun weekend spot for spending the whole day with family and friends. The beach is small, but amazing place to take a dip or rent a canoe or kayak. The rental reasonably low priced and get that experience of canoeing right beside the ducks in the lake. Take the short hikes and the lookout point is worth it.

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

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

Excellent place to visit and see the planes and learn how they were helpful to RCAF in defending sovereignty of our country. Interactive videos of decorated airforce personnel, who are not amongst us but the museum has kept them to see and learn about their lives. Place worth visiting.

We had our wedding here in October 2025. Stevie-Jane couldn’t have been more accommodating and easy to deal with. She communicated everything to us clearly and set expectations appropriately!! The day went as smooth as can be! All of our guests said the venue was so unique and fun! If you’re looking for a unique, and classy wedding venue, this is the place to be!!

What an awesome place. My 13 yr old wants to be a pilot and just being there with him was such a great experience. There was a large group of air cadets when we were there so we could not get a guide, but the self guided tour of the museum was fine. Would absolutely recommend to any plane enthusiasts and also anyone wanting to see some really neat Canadian history. Very well maintained, I really loved seeing these planes being restored, just awesome important work! Would definitely go back

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is more than just a museum – it’s an experience. What I loved most was the hands-on aspect. Unlike many museums where everything is kept behind ropes, here you actually get to climb into cockpits and explore the interiors of some of the aircraft. It felt amazing to sit where real pilots once sat and imagine what it must have been like to fly. The collection itself is incredible. Each aircraft comes with detailed stories and history. I was especially impressed that many of the planes are still in flying condition — it’s not just a static display, but a living museum. The museum is also very family-friendly. Kids seemed to love the interactive displays, and adults could spend hours taking in all the history. Overall, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum offers more than just a look at planes — it’s an immersive, hands-on experience that connects you to Canada’s aviation history in a very real way.

The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is an incredible place to visit! You’ll discover so much about aviation and military history through engaging exhibits and displays. One of the highlights is their life-sized interactive avatars, which share fascinating stories and historical details—perfect if you prefer listening instead of reading. The museum also features beautifully restored aircraft, some of which still fly, making the experience even more special. It’s educational, interactive, and enjoyable for all ages—whether you’re a history buff, an aviation enthusiast, or just looking for a family-friendly outing. Recommended 💯% !! 😊

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Whether you're looking for an afternoon stroll, a nature walk, a wedding venue, a concert, good food, or just a place to connect with nature...

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

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

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

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

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

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

Trail is still there folks.

(Translated by Google) Very good, some fun, very good (Original) 很好，有的玩，很不错

I went for a walk to Gage Park in Brampton, and it was incredible! The Christmas lights display was stunning, showcasing Canadian heritage and culture in such a unique way. If you have some time, you should definitely visit Gage Park in Brampton—you won’t be disappointed!

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

Gage Park is an absolute gem during the holiday season! The city transforms the entire park into a winter wonderland, with beautiful Christmas lights that create a festive, magical atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to get into the holiday spirit. Whether you're strolling through the park to admire the lights or enjoying a fun evening of ice skating on the rink, there’s something for everyone. The best part,It’s all free! You can gather with family and friends, take in the seasonal displays, and skate without spending a dime. The ice rink is well-maintained, offering a great spot for both beginners and seasoned skaters alike. Overall, Gage Park provides a wonderful, budget-friendly outing where you can make lasting memories with your loved ones. If you're looking for a joyful and festive experience, this park is definitely worth a visit during the holidays.

Gage Park is a very beautiful park specially during the winter with it's free outdoor ice skating rink. The rink is surrounded by beautiful lighting making it a delight to skate at night. Skate rentals and sharpening is also available. Rentals cost $15 for 2 hours and $10 for kids aged 12 and under, helmets are also available to rent at $5. The rink is open daily from 5pm-10pm and 10am-10pm on Saturday and Sunday. Underground parking is available in City Hall. Overall a nice option for a winter outdoor family activity.

Gage Park in Brampton is an amazing place. Beautiful park with lots of trees and greenery. Personally, I like it during the snowtime. During the winter, the park is illuminated with lights all over, and an absolute delight and treat to the eyes and mind. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience in the freezing cold, worth it, unforgettable and just loved it. Not to miss this illuminated experience during the next winter.

I was staying near Gage Park. I used to come here almost every week. I have seen this park in every season. Now I'm shifted to another place and i miss this park very much. It was such a cute park with cherry blossom tree, Farmer's market, fall colors, tree lightening ceremony, skating rink, beautiful decoration, and jamming sessions by some freelance musicians on weekends. I miss everything. I wish to come here someday to enjoy the charm of this park.

As everyone is visiting places to get the wonderful view of cherry blossoms, me and my friend decided to go to Gage Park as it is in the Downtown hence, very accessible by bus. Although front side of the park was temporarily fenced due to renovation probably, we still got beautiful sight of the white cherry blossoms. We soaked ourselves in the sunlight and the fresh air and clicked tons of nice pictures. The bungalow is a great place to get clicked with. Overall, it was worth of spending time! Made our day!

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

I come in, buy some boots..went home, only to realise i received a size larger ..not only the wrong size..but the wrong boot too ..they didn't fit, they were too big, bring them back to store.. and what does manager Azra say? They are WORN! CANT RETURN, THERES MUD ON THEM. How can they be worn when they never fit? Also, can someone please show me the mud?!?! Ive been shopping here for the last 5 years, buying everything from sneakers to boots, even the wife has bought from here so many times. Never had a problem before. My challenge remains, find the mud! I insisted so many times that they were not worn but she didn't want to listen. All this really goes to show me is that they sold me shoes that had been worn before.

I wanted to buy a shoe for my girl but the attendant is not very helpful. She made me feel like im disturbing her several times when I asked for a size. I’m a salesman, too. It saddens me whenever I witness a salesperson in the store failing to perform their duties effectively. We didn't make a purchase before leaving the store because she did not attend us properly, which amounts to a missed sales opportunity. Having her in your business leads to financial loss for your company. Visited July 13, 2023, qround 12:10…

My daughter and I walked into 5 or 6 different shoe stores on a quiet Tuesday morning in Square One. Not a single employee in any of those stores asked if we needed help finding anything and in one case he couldn’t be bothered to look up from his phone. Not until we walked into Journeys and were greeted by Ali. She was kind and helpful and steered us to a shoe that we would never have looked at. She is definitely a kind soul and a great employee! I would shop here again based on the service alone. Thanks Ali!

I came in to return a brand new pair of shoes and was told I couldn’t return them because they were worn. I bought them online and attempted to return them the same day I received them. They were a simple pair of black vans with not even so much as a spec of dust. Staff were condescending and made me feel like a criminal.

I purchased a pair of heeled Crocs from this store months ago. The cashier from that time recognised me when I went in recently, and asked about me. That made my day. I appreciate it. Also, the Crocs are awesome. I wear them everywhere. The price was very reasonable.

Great shoe selection for men, women and kids. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. I ordered a shoe from them that they didn't have in store and there was a big mix up. When I came into the store to solve it, associates Tashèe and Alex went above and beyond to come up with a solution and I left satisfied.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Such a nice trail, mostly paved. At one point you can take a ferry and join the Niagara trail too. We have done lots of variations of this. There are lots of places to stop and park. Highly recommended.

Amazing trail for cycling and walking.There are nice views around. Safe for family ride.

Great place for any age!! The trail is a great place to go on a nice day out!! The old canal also has some trails you can explore that bring you along a really historic area!! Love going here to relax and just go for a peaceful walk! Great place for a bike ride to the pth is all paved and ready to go! These pictures are from the old canal trail just a few minutes away from Glendale Bridge!!

The Welland Canal is a ship canal in Ontario, Canada, connecting Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. It forms a key section of the St. Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes Waterway. Traversing the Niagara Peninsula from Port Weller in St. Catharines to Port Colborne, it enables ships to ascend and descend the Niagara Escarpment and bypass Niagara Falls. It is the fourth canal connecting these waterways; three smaller predecessors also bore the same name. The Welland Canal eclipsed other, narrower canals in the region, such as the Trent-Severn Waterway and, significantly, the Erie Canal (which linked the Atlantic and Lake Erie via New York City and Buffalo, New York) by providing a shorter, more direct connection to Lake Erie. The southern, Lake Erie terminus of the canal is 99.5 metres (326 feet) higher than the northern terminus on Lake Ontario. The canal includes eight 24.4-metre-wide (80 ft) ship locks.Seven of the locks (Locks 1–7, the 'Lift' locks) are 233.5 m (766 ft) long and raise (or lower) passing ships by between 13 and 15 m (43 and 49 ft) each. The southernmost lock, (Lock 8 – the 'Guard' or 'Control' lock) is 349.9 m (1,148 ft) in length.The Garden City Skyway passes over the canal, restricting the maximum height of the masts of the ships allowed on this canal to 35.5 m (116 ft).

What an incredible place for a hike or especially a bike ride! I’ve done the entire welland in Canal. There are so many different things to see. It’s so wonderful and it’s paved all the way. It’s pretty cool watching the big ships come down the canal.

These canals are always interesting. Such a great idea of moving ships up or down. Nice to walk around when it's not that busy and watch the ships pass.

We had no GPS but we drove around till we found it and it was so cool. A ship was going through.

Obviously this place has an amazing view. I ordered an old fashioned. It was perfectly made. My food was amazing. I got the multi-course meal that included an appetizer, the main dish, and a dessert. It was definitely on the pricey side. For one person with a good solid tip and of course the alcoholic drink. My total bill was about $160. That said the view is amazing. The service was great. The food was amazing. Absolutely worth every bit of it and it was a great evening to myself with a beautiful sunset. I highly recommend getting reservations and I would also recommend to look and see what time is sunset is and get there about a half hour before

I recently visited the CN Tower with a group of friends on a weekday, and it was an unforgettable experience! We decided to buy our tickets online beforehand, which meant we didn't have to wait in long lines. This definitely helped make the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable from the start. The moment we stepped into the lift, the excitement was already building up. The staff in the elevator were not just professional but also incredibly funny and engaging, which added an unexpected and delightful touch to the ride. The fast ascent gave us a sense of anticipation, and the view as we reached the top was nothing short of breathtaking. From the observation deck, the city sprawled beneath us like a living, breathing landscape. The buildings seemed to stretch endlessly, while the cars and vehicles below appeared as tiny moving dots—it's amazing how perspective shifts when you're so high up! The day view was spectacular, offering a clear, panoramic look at Toronto's impressive skyline, and we could see all the way to Lake Ontario. But what really made the experience even more magical was seeing the city transition as the sun began to set. Watching the sky change from golden hues to the deep blues of night, the lights of the city flickering to life below, was truly mesmerizing. One of the highlights of our visit was the chance to see the vastness of Lake Ontario. The enormous water body stretched out endlessly, and you could almost feel the peace that it brought to the bustling city. It’s hard to put into words how incredible it felt to take in such a stunning sight from such a height. While we soaked in the views, we also treated ourselves to some delicious food at the restaurant, which had its own glass floor. Dining while looking out over the entire city, surrounded by the endless sky and twinkling lights, made the meal even more memorable. Everything down below seemed so small and far away—the buildings, the busy streets, even the people—all of it felt like a different world from up there. It was a perfect blend of nature, cityscape, and human activity, all from the comfort of the CN Tower. The whole experience left us with a sense of awe and wonder, and we all agreed it was a memory we’d cherish. Whether you're a local or a tourist, the CN Tower offers a truly unique way to experience the city of Toronto. It’s a place where the beauty of the skyline meets the serenity of the natural world, making for an unforgettable visit. I can’t wait to go back again—this time maybe to see the city from the glass floor! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredible view, great food, and a fun, memorable experience.

We enjoyed the beauty of the tower. We opted for the trip to the top. It's a tad overrated. The clouds at the top made getting good pictures a difficult task. The elevator is super crowded, but very fast. The staff members are kind, respectful and helpful. I think going to the observation deck would have been a better option for us. It is lit beautifully at night from the outside. The glass floor and big beautiful images behind it were fun!

I visited the CN Tower with my family a few years back, and the view from the top is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. You really get to see the city from a whole new perspective. Standing on the glass floor was both exciting and a little nerve-wracking. I definitely felt a bit anxious looking straight down, but it was a fun and memorable experience. It’s one of those iconic spots in Toronto that’s worth visiting once. Whether you go during the day or at night, the view is stunning either way.

The CN Tower is a must-see! A unique place any time of year. The view from the top is indescribable – the entire city looks like a scale model, with Lake Ontario stretching out to the horizon. The biggest attraction? The glass floor, which you step onto with a little trepidation, but then burst into a broad smile 😄 The whole experience was perfectly organized and with very friendly service. It's worth buying tickets online. If you're in Toronto, you simply can't miss it! I recommend it to anyone who wants to see Toronto from a completely different perspective. An unforgettable experience!

My first time experience here was amazing. The walk to the restaurant is a little bit much but once you are in the building it’s actually pretty neat. You go up the sky lift that gives you amazing views of the city and immediately out of the elevator you are guided and seated to you seat. Now I did make reservations that were honored so I’d recommend making arrangements ahead of time, we were there for a birthday and they accommodated my wishes of acknowledging the special with a cute placard and a special desert for his birthday with a cute placard. The food however was 10/10 I had the lamb shank and grits, with a deconstructed Caesar salad. Everything tasted great even my guys food was good he opted for the seafood route with a lobster style meal and Brussels. I can say 10/10 even our waiter was attentive and helped up pick out items and plan our meal accordingly. I missed his name but he was amazing and well wishes to him. I inquired about if there were any semi sweet wines and he recommended me one and even let me sample it ! Of course it was amazing right from Canadian vineyards which was a plus. I’d definitely recommend if you are okay spending a good penny.

We absolutely loved this experience and we're going to come back to do it again. We enjoyed everything about it. We were able to walk up and buy tickets, there was no wait. I was truly surprised by the size of the tower. The views were incredible and there's an art exhibit. I don't want to give it all away but this was worth every penny.

We absolutely loved our experience! It was so much fun for everyone, and truly perfect for all ages — especially the kids. There were so many activities that kept them entertained and excited the entire time. Everything was well organized, clean, and safe, which made it easy for us to just relax and enjoy ourselves. The staff were friendly and helpful, and you could tell they really cared about making sure everyone had a great time. We’ll definitely be coming back — such a wonderful place for families to make memories together!

Ripley’s Aquarium is an amazing place for families. My son loved watching the stingrays — you can see them from above (bird’s-eye view) in open water, just a few feet away. The kids’ section has a small filtration system for play purposes, where children can learn how water moves through the aquarium. It’s educational, fun, and a great way for kids to explore and understand how filtration works. The place is clean, well-organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for both kids and adults!

Its a really cool, fairly big aquarium. It was a little cfowdwd, but other than that, it was fun. There were so many decorations and things to see, and unique sea creatures. The kids indoor playground looked fun, and all the tanks were very clean, and the creatures were well maintained. The only problem was the food. I there were more fikd options. The only cafeteria type food place only had a couple crowded tables, and barely had anything on the menu. But that wasnt enough to bring my rating down to a 4 stars, because the aquarium is so great. I love this place.

Awesome for all ages. Plenty of seating arrangements for elders. Touching the sting ray is the best thing as a climax kids can have. My kids had an amazing day. The aquarium has a lot of variety of sea creatures . Moreover the way it has been presented is amazing. Information display is very clear and simple. Its worth the money. Memorable experience.

9:00 a.m. Toronto My CityPASS said I could visit Ripley’s Aquarium anytime, so with an hour to spare before my CN Tower reservation, I decided to head inside. I asked the girl scanning tickets how long it usually took to get through. She told me about an hour and a half. It was Monday morning, and the place was completely empty. It was quiet, the kind of quiet that hums in your chest. Just the low music and the faint whoosh of water cycling through the tanks. The blue light made everything look like it was breathing. I wandered slowly, taking in the small faces of the fish and the strange calm that filled the rooms. There was even a “quiet tent” set up for anyone who needed a break. I understood why. If I had another encounter with that sawfish staring at me like it was judging my entire existence, I’d need it too. For a quick stop, it ended up being one of the most peaceful hours of my trip so far.

It was nice, but honestly, $56 for adults and $38 for children is way too expensive for what you offer. There were no glow fish, no dolphins, and not even a dolphin show. For the amount you charge, at least include some impressive or unique marine life that makes the visit feel worth the money. They seriously needs to improve its exhibits or reconsider its pricing it feels more like a tourist trap than an educational experience.

One of the best Aquariums I have ever gone to. Great tour of the water life in Lake Ontario, this place taught me a lot about the creatures in the water. They have a great jellyfish exhibit which has glow in the dark jellyfish under blacklight which was an amazing experience. If you have never visited this aquarium I highly recommend you check this place out!

Got a general admission ticket and definitely worth visiting. There are some great Chinese artifacts and statues to view. The staff here is very friendly and will explain certain pieces if you are in the area. This museum has a little bit of everything so you can expect to be there for at least 2 hours if you go through all of general admission. Maybe 3 hours if dinosaurs is open, it was closed when we were there.

Easy to go with the city pass but if you can become a member, there will be many exhibitions that you will also be allowed to go to. You can easily spend 2-3 hrs just walking around. Some cakes, and beverages are also available on the ground floor for a small break. Some sections were really cool. Especially recommend the gems section. Unfortunately, dinosaur’s section was closed until first week of December.

It was an absolutely amazing museum. The exhibits were nicely curated, the artifacts were lovely. The biggest downside was how noisy it was, there was a live performance in the lobby and it took away from the atmosphere that the museum had, I also wish they made it clear as to which area was heavily kid oriented, or else I wouldn’t have spent so much time on the second floor when I could’ve been on the third floor actually seeing the stuff I really wanted to see and learn about. But that being said the areas they have for kids is very well done and the kids there seemed to be having a great time learning. I loved the Greek and Roman section of the museum and paying to see saints, sinners and lovers was very worth it. Absolutely stunning paintings, you could see the brush strokes and the tiny details on the canvases. The ROM was a lot of fun.

We visited the museum on a snowy Sunday afternoon, there was no waiting for the tickets, 35 CAN/adult person. Staff were friendly, ready to explain and direct. The ground floor included marvelous pieces from China and some from Korea. Last floor for the European and Egyptian cultures. We took more than 2 hours, but we could not visit it all. Beautiful experience for a neat museum

My best friend and I arrived here for the free Tuesday night at the rom and where pleasantly surprised by the orderly way I. Which ticket holders entered the museum, it was swift and easy and we were on having fun in no time! The ROM is an immaculately curated space that can actually take a very long time to get through when it comes to viewing exhibits. I was born and raised here in Toronto and I’ve still yet to see all of the ROM in its entirety. This is what makes it worth the price. Every exhibit is thought out and so well put together with care and attention to detail. Every time I am at the rom I learn so many new things about the world and the layout of the rom makes learning to information seamless and easy. Washrooms and water fountains are very easy to find and in abundance so I was never panicked trying to look around for a washroom. The ROM also has new all gendered washrooms which are luxurious and a great addition to this museum. There is great accessibility here and the elevators and seats are always easy to find. I typically avoid the cafes and cafeterias here as they can be quite overpriced but it’s been a long time since I visited the cafe so it could’ve changed… Overall I always enjoy my time at the ROM and recommend you book a ticket weather you are a newcomer or someone familiar to the city, give it a try!

There's a lot going on here. If you are really into museums and want to look at most things then plan to spend four or more hours here. There's dedication to natural history for animals and civilizations. Good assortment of unique pieces. There is a lot of pottery, more than you'd think for sure. The collection of Greek and Roman busts is impressive along with the number of tombs. The dinosaur exhibit wasn't able to be fully seen due to renovations.

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is a spectacular world-class institution that makes for an unforgettable day out in Toronto. Its collection is unbelievably diverse, spanning natural history (hello, incredible dinosaurs and gems!) and world culture (from ancient Egypt to the Ming Dynasty Tombs). The architecture alone is worth the visit, famously blending the grand, historic Neo-Romanesque brickwork with the striking, angular modern glass of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal—it’s a visual feast inside and out. With forty different galleries, you can easily spend a full afternoon (at least 3-4 hours) exploring, learning about everything from the Burgess Shale fossils to African art. The ROM is constantly evolving with fascinating new exhibits and is definitely a must-see landmark for anyone visiting the city.

Beautiful, scenic and relaxing! Stunning views of downtown Toronto en route by ferry to this quaint set of interconnected islands. Lovely boardwalk from Ward’s Island to Centre Island. Clean and lifeguard-supervised swimming area on Centre Island. Cute amusement park and gardens. Spend the day or just a few hours.

Toronto Islands are one of the best places to visit in the city. The view of the skyline from across the water is absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. Whether it’s summer or fall, the islands are stunning. There are three islands, each with its own charm. You can take a boat to any of them (check the schedule), or grab a water taxi near Harbourfront for a more relaxing ride. The return trip from the island is free even if you didn’t take the ferry. The are a few beaches which are clean and scenic, perfect for summer days. I highly recommend going on a weekday, ideally in the morning to avoid crowds (it can be VERY crowdy on weekends). On weekdays it is quiet, peaceful, and you might feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The best way to explore is by renting a bike through Bike Share. There are lots of them available. There is also a nice boardwalk on the opposite side of the islands (no bikes permitted though). But the best part is of course the iconic view from Centre Island. There are also a few cafes for a quick snack, plenty of picnic spots, lots of water stations. Overall, Toronto Islands are a must-see!

We ended up catching the ferry to Billy Bishop Airport (~10minutes). From there, we walked to Center Island. It was incredibly crowded for a weekday. Prices were high for pretty much everything. The highlights for us were the little farm, where we got to pet the ponies, donkeys, and goats. We caught the ferry back to the mainland maybe 40 minutes after exploring Center Island.

I always have a great time on this island—beautiful nature and delicious food. The only thing I didn’t like this time was that some people were going into the fountain pool, which isn’t allowed. Security should take steps to prevent this.

Visited Toronto Island Park around 3 PM in October with friends. We spent about two hours walking around and watched a beautiful sunset. It was a bit cold, and there isn’t much to do during the colder months besides walking, grabbing a coffee or snack at the small café, or checking out the restaurant that was open. The views of the city and lake were great, but overall it’s a quiet, simple experience in the off-season. Also, in winter the ferry doesn’t reach the main island, so you have to walk about 30 minutes to get there

had a great time at Toronto Islands. The place is peaceful and has amazing views of the city skyline. I went during the air show, and watching it from the island was a perfect choice. The planes flying over the water and skyline made it a great experience. We also had a small barbecue there, which added to the fun. The open space, fresh air, and calm surroundings made it a relaxing day. The ferry ride to the island was smooth and easy. Overall, it was a lovely day,good weather, exciting air show, tasty food, and a perfect spot to enjoy nature while still being close to the city.

Beautiful islands to enjoy some quality time with friends and family. It’s an easy ferry ride or water taxi from the harbours. During weekend a very busy place, so a wait for ferry is long. However if you wish to save time, get a water taxi which is quick for some extra dollars. Overall the island is very clean with great sights and activities for everyone. It’s huge with different sides of it. Centre island is the main attraction for a new person or tourist. Easy to walk around or rent a cycle for better experience. Lots of places to get a quick drink or snacks. Lot of signage’s available and its self explanatory. Best views of Toronto skyline from the islands.

Family and I went to this amazing St.Lawrence Market and it was so many shops inside for whatever you need. It had amazing Food options and so many Meats options also. What are the unique thing is how different culture kind of meat and cheese and fruits that were in this Market. The food was so fresh anywhere you tried to eat because it was made fresh right away. We try the pizza place and it was very delicious. The only reason why I give it a four star is because it would have been nice to see some Halal Options in Market as it had None and we had to find Cheese pizza to eat. Also bathroom could been cleaner! Overall Very Amazing and Unique Market to visit.

If you would love to visit local market as a tourist, this is the place to go! It has nice market atmosphere and I see long queue at many shops in the market by locals. It also cater both raw and ready to eat food. So you can buy beef steak to cook in your homestay or buy ready to eat food. Variety range from meat to seafood to fruits to bread to tarts to desserts and even maple syrup! Beautiful atmosphere and nice yummy food.... A nice brunch place and market!

Had a terrific time spending the day browsing St Lawrence Market. Bought an amazingly creative bouquet of flowers to brighten our hotel room. Had a delicious charcuterie lunch made from purchasing items from various vendors. Dessert was the largest berries we’ve ever seen, sweet, juicy, and delicious! Bought some pork belly to bring home after our trip. Purchased wines, a few souvenirs for our kids, generally had a nice day browsing through the enormous market. For reference I’d say it is about six times the size of Pike Place Market in Seattle.

Pretty much every visitor to Toronto knows this market. It's in a class of its own among public markets. Think about the scale, the vibe, the amazing selection and quality of products. You can even eat and drink while you shop—how great is that? On a nice day (if it's not too cold), the outdoor patio is the place to be. It's spacious, with pigeons wandering around, and another market is just across the street. Picture this: you're eating a lobster roll or pasta, feeding the pigeons, enjoying the scenery, and chatting with friends. What a fantastic scene!

A nice place to visit, lots of options for fancy goods, food particularly seafoods, meats, cheese, backed delicacies, sweets and farm produce. Liked the bright, happy vibe and roaming carefree environment. It was Christmas buying time, it added colourfulness. Good for buying souvenirs too.

Wonderful experience of the oldest market in Canada! There was a booth that has been there since before Canadas birth! The main floor is where fresh food is sold. The lower level has all the international flavours… will visit again. Lively atmosphere… need sitting area in winter. Has a mini-museum in lowest level where the jail used to be.

Possibly the best market in downtown Toronto. Full of fresh and unique items. A really great peameal bacon sandwich. Fresh coffee. Fresh seafood, including sushi and pickled herring. If only it opened earlier

What a beautiful and interesting place to learn about the history and how the Welland Canal works. It's also an excellent spot to discover and get familiar with one of Canada's national sports: lacrosse. The view of the canal from the observation deck is spectacular, and if you're lucky enough to see a ship in that water lock during your visit, the experience becomes even more impressive. The facility includes clean restrooms, large parking lot, gift shop, audio-visual room, rentable event spaces, picnic tables, an adjacent playground, and a beautiful memorial honoring the many workers who lost their lives over the canal's 200-year history.

The St. Catharines Museum & Welland Canals Centre is one of those local gems that beautifully blends history, engineering marvels, and quiet charm. I stopped by on a sunny afternoon and was pleasantly surprised at how much there was to see and learn—especially for a museum that often flies under the radar compared to other Niagara-area attractions. The museum itself is well-curated, offering a deep dive into the history of St. Catharines and the vital role the Welland Canal played (and still plays) in Canada’s transportation story. I especially enjoyed the exhibits on early shipping, local industry, and the stories of the people who built and lived around the canal. But the real magic is outside, on the viewing platform. Watching the massive cargo ships pass through Lock 3, right in front of you, is absolutely mesmerizing. You get a true sense of scale and the incredible engineering that goes into canal navigation. It’s great for kids and adults alike—you can spend a peaceful hour just ship-watching. Your kids can borrow a backpack of explorer. It is free and welcome for donation. The staff are friendly and informative, and the building is clean and accessible, with plenty of parking. Whether you’re a history buff, an engineering fan, or just curious, this museum is well worth the visit.

Visited St. Catherine’s Museum & Welland Local Canal with my family. The complex consist of three areas. The museum itself showcasing the brief history of St Catherine & how the region became an important hub for ship commercial passage from the man made welland series of lock canal. The other part is viewing platform where you can see big ships fit into the locks & follow the process of filling up the water into the lock. Lastly a souvenir shops and information centre at the main entrance of the museum. When we reached it started raining, so we were hardly outside at the viewing platform to see the ship’s height rises as the water fills in the locks. A good experience to witness how the ship travels through the locks starting from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie. Overall we spend 3 hours in the Museum and covered all the sightseeing in the museum complex.

A fabulous museum of not only the Welland Canal (impressive in its own right) but also of the town of St. Catherine’s. It’s an absolute credit to the town and the museum founders/staff/managers to have the foresight and dedication to amass such a wealth of history and their culture from colonial times right up to modern history. Excellently preserved classic cars, lacrosse history, but the small stuff too e.g. a display in the towns Soap Box derby which ran I. The 60s & 70s. I could have stayed here for hours. Best to time your visit to coincide with some of the big ships passing through the canal (check the ship tracking apps/websites) and then check out the museum, all of which is free.

A great place to visit in St Catharines. Completely free though donations are accepted. A history of the Welland canal system and the Ontario Lacrosse museum. There is also a nice little park on site.

The museum was interesting and the staff very helpful. We watched a mid size shop go through the lock and another larger one go back through the lock. A great experience.

Awesome experience. Very cool to see the massive ship, the locks, and draw bridges. The museum itself is packed with cool historical items and it's free to visit. For anyone driving to or from Niagara this spot is a must visit. Little kids will be amazed at the sights.
