I stopped by Screaming Heads in Burk’s Falls during the day, and it felt like stepping into a surreal open-air gallery tucked away in a huge field. The place was almost empty—maybe 10 people total and about the same number of cars—which gave it a strangely peaceful, almost eerie atmosphere. Workers were setting up tents for the upcoming Harvest Festival, so it was clear the space was gearing up for something much bigger on the weekend. Walking around, the sculptures themselves were impressive, but I could tell the real magic happens at night. They had fire bins set up where logs would normally be lit to cast dramatic shadows on the art, but in the daytime, they sat unused. Same with the light displays—I could imagine how incredible the massive concrete “heads” would look illuminated against the dark sky with music playing in the background. Even without the night effects, it was still a cool and unique spot. Free to enter, wide open to explore, and perfect for taking photos of the unusual and haunting artwork. If you’re nearby, it’s worth checking out anytime, but I’d recommend going after dark or during an event to really see the place come alive.

Such an amazing place to visit! I was blown away by all the incredible sculptures and how huge the property is. We were lucky to meet the owner while he was doing some maintenance, he took the time to share some of the history behind the place, which was really cool. We went in October and the fall colors made it even more beautiful. Can’t wait to come back in the summer for some of the fun events! Also no bugs in October;)

An extraordinary and unexpected 40yr effort by an artist on his 350 acre farm. Takes about 1 hour or so to walk through and muse the meaning of the many structures. Free but voluntary donations welcome into a box on your drive out. Free parking too.

Have been looking to visit this place for quiet sometime now and finally did last week and what a unusual creepy interesting place... so beautiful eerie looking sculptures spread across this massive beautiful land.... some sculptures have a different meaning if you look from another angle...cant imagine how amazing and scary it would be during the night with all the lights and firepits lit up. It is definitely a must visit if one is around muskoka or Huntsville area and entry and parking is free only donations...

This is a very interesting art installation. We arrive late in the day on a Wednesday, and basically had the whole place to ourselves. The property itself is HUGE and very beautiful. There was part through the spider we gates that was closed, so we couldn't go in. The trails aren't marked very well and there is no map. We walked to many dead ends and had to turn around, and only saw about 20 heads because we walked in so many circles. We saw more across the street as we were leaving that we had no clue about, which made us realize we had probably had missed a lot, and further investigation on Google confirmed that we indeed had. Most of what we saw was overgrown with grass and weeds. Lots of horse and deer flies, so be sure to spray down with heavy bug spray, and close toed shoes for the overgrown trails. The heads themselves make you wonder what the artist was thinking as he created them, but they are fascinating, and very beautiful in their own way. They might seem creepy and scary to young children, so I would consider that when bringing kids. It would be a good family activity for families with older children though. Personally, I would go back to explore some more, but I would arrive much earlier and plan to spend the whole day exploring.

Pretty cool park, full of whimsical installations. I arrived at 6:45 on a rainy day so did a quick run through, would be best to plan a few hours on a sunny day. The installations are in several fields, not sure if there is a map... lots of different areas, looks like a Frisbee golf course set up too.

Great experience Free admission and parking Information booth by the parking lot. Can make a donation. Lots of local items for sale by vendors. Great property for a walk and lots to see. Great photo opportunities Not far from hwy 11.

Course in great shape. It's a tough track, takes some thinking for shot placement and you must be accurate going into the greens, or you will be punished. We loved it.

Amazing golf course and excellent patio lunch. Enjoyed a delicious Swiss mushroom burger overlooking the 10th hole. Thank you to Madi for the recommendation and friendly service.

We try to eat at the rock a few times a month. It's amazing, the food is outstanding. The staff goes above and beyond. It's a hidden gem! This was my lunch today. Great value as well.

Had an absolute blast at the course. One of the best courses I’ve played on, super scenic, and well worth it. Once we finished our round of golf the girls, (Maddy and Paige) allowed us to still grab food and drinks even though they were closing up. So seriously thank you girls! They deserve a pay raise!

Course is in excellent shape despite the dry weather, huge shoutout to the grounds crew! Staff was super friendly and everything was very well organized from start to finish. No complaints at all. Great value too: $200 for 2 juniors and 1 adult with a cart. We’ll definitely be back!

This golf course is absolutely gorgeous and kept in pristine condition. Insanely difficult track though. Good thing I played like a tour stick, but it was difficult to watch my friends get beat up like that.

Great golf course aslong as you are ok with a challenge. Leaving your ego at that door and playing the proper tees based on your skill level is paramount to enjoying your day.

Went here with my girls for my bachelorette party and had a great time! We did the tour which was really interesting and then enjoyed wine and food. The pretzels were the best!Overall we had a great time and I would love to come back again during harvest season to see the bogs filled up!

The staff were amazing — from the friendly lady at the reception, to the staff member at the cranberry plunge pool, the kind lady at the shop, and the gentleman who gave us great suggestions for places to eat. Everyone was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the cranberry fields. I definitely want to come back again! I loved the time I spent here, and their cranberries are absolutely delicious.

My boyfriend and I visited Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery today, and we had the best time! We began our day with Bob's guided wagon tour of the farm. Bob is worth the price of admission alone - he is hilarious - and made teaching us about the workings of the cranberry farm a lot of fun, as well as informative. Browsing through the gift shop, with its rustic charm and cranberry-themed everything, was a unique and fun experience. We sipped samples of wine and fresh cranberry juice, while enjoying our day in the crisp autumn air at this welcoming and relaxing farm in Bala ON.

Visiting Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery was one of the highlights of my Muskoka trip! Nestled among beautiful cranberry field, the place offers a wonderful mix of nature, local flavor, and authentic Muskoka hospitality. The cranberry bog walk was fascinating — it’s not every day you get to see how cranberries are harvested, and the staff do an amazing job explaining the process. The wines are delicious and different ofcourse as they are not traditional wines made of grapes—yet they are light, refreshing, and full of character and at a very affordable price. The on-site café and shop also have great treats. If you visit in the fall, the Cranberry Harvest is a must-see specially during the Cranberry festival weekend.

You won me over from the moment I spotted the old truck beside your cranberry patch! THEN, a lovely senior playing guitar and singing. Nice first impression! We had just had our lunch elsewhere so we were unable to take advantage of the great little snack shop and stay for a set. We were looking for a red & a white wine to take to our hosts for dinner. One of the lovely ladies spent ten minutes with us explaining the background, preferences and suggestions. We bought two for our hosts, two to take home and a bottle of portage that I plan to use in my famous butter tarts soon. Highly recommend the gem in the forest.

I am giving this place 1 star. I went yesterday and it was the first time I experienced racism in my life and it was by 1 of their employees. Their website is also awful for not explaining the times for the activities when you buy an all access pass. What happened? Boyfriend and I are visibly minorities. There's no doubt about our backgrounds when you see us. I am latina and boyfriend is black. I bought 2 all access passes. The girl at Information was able to get us both for 3pm for the wagon ride (she was awesome). When we got there that's when we found out that since our wagon ride was at 3p the wine tasting was at 3:30p and the plunge was for 4:30p and we couldnt change those times. Our tour bus was leaving at 4:30p. We walked to the plunge. At 2:30p the lady came and asked the 1st couple for their time slot. They said theirs was for 3:30p. Lady said that's fine they can join the 2:30p plunge. We were next. I explained ours was for 4:30 and we cant do the plunge for 4:30 because our bus leaves at 4:30p. Lady said, no. They were all booked up and had no spots. NO SPOTS AT ALL. Just no. (I mean 2 just opened up for 3:30p). I was very shocked. It was clear what was happening. I've never experienced this before and we walked away and I tried to forget it. This was the lady who was thin/average size, black and white hair, wavy/curly, about my height maybe a bit shorter (5"5). I didn't get her name. I should have. I honestly tried to think of other reasons why it was an instant no for us but a yes for the white couple before us. Racism is really the only answer. We should have been able to atleast take that couples time slot if the time slots were full. I can honestly say I will never visit again. I will be reaching out to the bus tour company about the situation as well as I think they should know what their customers are experiencing and should consider another location if possible. Everyone else was really nice and friendly, except that 1 lady. Unfortunately it takes 1 person to ruin an experience. I will also reach out to the company and send them an email and request their employees receive training.

Lovely place but unfriendly service. The woman staff member yelled at the visitor, who had to wash their hands after touching the cranberry, as it had a smell on their hands. That's why we want to wash our hands. No information on where to wash hands, and it's not really 30 minutes in the Cranberry plunge, just 15 minutes. The staff in the shop isn't friendly either.

An intriguing marvel of engineering, in a beautiful rustic setting. Ideal for picnics. Adjacent parkette. Lots of parking. Avoid a visit during bug season.

Cool awesome place! Gotta see it in person to really appreciate the mechanics involved in moving boats

It is only a 10 minute drive from the 400. Well worth the detour. The Big Chute is a very interesting place to explore. We also had lunch at the marina restaurant and the food was very good and the staff were very friendly.

Fascinating Marine Railway boat carrier from a higher elevation to a lower elevation near Port Severn near end of the Trent Severn waterway containing many locks including the Peterborough lift lock, picturesque Fenelon Falls, and houseboat rentals. This waterway makes up part of the Great Loop around Canada and the U.S.

Very beautiful place, nice and quiet , so relax when you walk around the lock.

Fascinating Rube Goldberg piece of machinery. Lots of fun watching them raise and lower water craft.

Once in a lifetime experience. Well worth the visit. We quite enjoyed the hour we spent there

Beautiful lookout, nice city view, river and the forest behind. Fall Colors where wonderful. Parking is tight on weekends. There is one parking lot on to and one at the bottom for those who done want to hike.

You don't need to purchase advance tickets to visit this place. It's free for entry and open 24 hours. You drive all the way upto the lions lookout point on the top of the hill. Their is a small parking place on top. You can also find parking lot at the entrance of the hill near lookout sign. However, I recommend drive all the way to top if you wanna skip 1km steep hike Breathtaking Fall Views at Lions Lookout is a Must-See in Huntsville! 🍁 . If you're anywhere near Huntsville in the fall, a trip to Lions Lookout is an absolute must. I visited during peak foliage season, and the views were nothing short of magical. The entire landscape was painted in vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold — it felt like stepping into a postcard! The lookout offers a panoramic view over Fairy Lake, the Muskoka River, and the town of Huntsville, all framed by rolling hills ablaze with autumn color. Whether you're a photographer, nature lover, or just out for a peaceful walk, this spot won’t disappoint. The short hike to the top is a bit steep, but it’s well worth the effort. There are benches to rest along the way and once you reach the top, the scenery makes it all worthwhile. It’s also a great place to watch the sunset over the colorful treetops. **Tip:** Try to go on a clear day for the best visibility, and bring a camera — you’ll want to capture this view. Highly recommend visiting during the fall. It’s one of the most beautiful places in Muskoka to experience the changing leaves! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Really nice when you got up to the top, you can drive up and park there where space are still available or park below and hike up to the lookout (shuttle train in summer months). Be sure to check out the scenery in various directions; beautiful view of Huntsville and Fairy Lake especially in the fall.

Worth the hike. DONOT take your car up but park at the community centre there, if you don’t hike, you miss the on road fall wonders. Most beautiful pictures ever taken there by us. Will visit again and again. It’s a free point, no ticket required.

A great lookout for Fairy Lake and Huntville downtown. Spectacular view in the Autumn. Parking is limited on the top. It is better to park at the foothill and take a stroll to the top

Do NOT go on a weekend 💀 The traffic was from the bottom of the hill to the top parking lot We luckily made a U-turn and parked somewhere else near by and made the walk up the hill which I wouldn’t recommend for anyone with mobility issues or seniors When I left to walk down the hill people were still in traffic going up the hill that I recognized when I was walking up, they didn’t get very much farther along. The actual viewing area is very over crowded. View is decent.

Lion’s Lookout is a lovely spot with great views over Huntsville, but be prepared for some parking challenges—especially on holidays or long weekends. The parking lot at the top can get quite crowded and there’s often a bit of traffic going up. If you don’t mind a short uphill walk, parking at the Heritage Place lot is a good alternative—it’s not far, though the slope is a bit steep. Funny enough, it always seems to be cloudy or rainy whenever I visit, so I haven’t seen the view on a perfectly clear day yet—that’s my little regret. Still, Huntsville is such a charming town that I always enjoy coming back.

I went to Santa’s Village with my family and honestly, I had never heard of it before. When we arrived, I was really surprised by how much fun it was! The new Yeti roller coaster was a blast — my kids loved it and we went on it many, many times. The whole place has a great family vibe and lots to do for kids of all ages. Just a heads up, there are only a few food stands, so it’s best to plan ahead and line up early for lunch before the crowds. Overall, it was a fantastic family day and we’ll definitely be back!

10 Stars, great place to take the family, likely to be enjoyed by kids under 10 but still great for all, staff at all the rides and venues are super friendly not like most Carneys, only food is extra and a few additional like Elf ID card etc, not constant cash grab , there is a gift shop at entrance/ exit. Food was good, rides were good and Yeti coaster was excellent. Great value for your money, free parking even, went on a Saturday and no wait in any line, absolutely amazing experience. Recommend 100%

We had an amazing time at Santa Village! The natural surroundings are absolutely beautiful — tall trees, fresh air, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it feel like a true getaway from the city. It’s the perfect place for families, especially with young kids. The attractions are really well done and fun for all ages. Our children had a blast exploring all the rides and activities. Everything felt safe, clean, and well-organized. What really stood out to us was the Halloween event — it was magical! The decorations, costumes, and themed activities created such a fun and spooky atmosphere without being too scary for the little ones. It was clear that a lot of thought and effort went into making it special. Santa Village is a fantastic destination for a day trip or weekend adventure with the family. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Spent the day at Santa's Village with the family. An annual trip to Santa's Village is a family tradition and we always look forward to it. The weather was hot today but it didn't bother us at all as we were able to remain cool thanks to the breeze coming off the water and blowing through the trees.That is one of the things I love about Santa's Village, that it is nestled in amongst the trees along the riverside. The rides are great and the natural setting is a beautiful bonus. This visit we were able to test out the new roller-coaster The Yeti! It got two thumbs up from every member of the family except the youngest. We also rode on our family favourite rides like Santa's Summer Sleigh, The train, and the Pepermint Penguin. We decided to give the Yule Log a try for lunch and we're pleasantly surprised. Service was fast and friendly and there was something on the menu to please everyone. Added bonus was the AC and washrooms inside. The highlight of Papa's day was attending Elf School. A fun time was had by all! It is always worth the drive to Bracebridge as every summer needs a bit of Christmas magic!

My wife and I took our daughter. We went this year during the Halloween Spooktacular. She loved the rides had a blast. This is a great family fun park. 2nd time we have gone here, will take her again. Staff was also really friendly. Ohh and got to meet Santa early. Highly recommend for family fun

Fantastic Halloween visit at Santa’s Village—festive, friendly, and perfectly not‑too‑scary for kids. The Pumpkin in the Pines trail, cheerful inflatables, and riverside photo spots made it feel truly magical, and staff kept lines moving and areas spotless. Big thumbs up for the new Yeti Trek coaster: smooth, zippy, and just the right dose of thrills for families without being intimidating. Five stars for a well‑run, memory‑making fall day—we’ll be back!

We stopped here on our way to Huntsville and had such a great time! I visited as a kid, but it was even better coming back with my family. Our daughter loved every part of the day—especially the elf training! The rides were a lot of fun for the whole family, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The lines weren’t too bad, and we were pleasantly surprised that the food and ice cream were very reasonably priced. The Yeti Trek Rollercoaster is definitely a must-do! We’ll most likely be back again next summer for another fun visit.

We had such an amazing time on the Muskoka Steamship "Pirate" Boat Trip! I went with my 6-year-old daughter and her grandparents, and it was the perfect family outing. The experience was so fun and interactive, the crew did a fantastic job keeping the kids entertained the whole time. It was also budget-friendly, with affordable drink options on board. I loved that there were lots of seating choices both inside and outside, so you could enjoy the beautiful views no matter the weather. The boat was also accessible, with washrooms and even an elevator on board, which was great. This is such a fantastic family vacation idea, and there’s lots to see and do in the area before or after your cruise. We would definitely go back ... highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun, affordable, and memorable day with the family!

Today, we had the pleasure of taking a delightful 2.5-hour cruise on the beautiful Lake Muskoka. The weather couldn’t have been better—warm sunshine, calm waters, and fresh air all around. The entire journey was accompanied by captivating stories told by our knowledgeable guide. Lake Muskoka is truly vast, stretching roughly 30 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide, with depths reaching up to 70 meters in many places. The cruise departed from Gravenhurst, just about 150 kilometers north of Toronto—a perfect distance for a day trip. What makes this lake so unique is not just its size, but the sheer number of islands scattered across its waters—each with its own charm and story. At one point during the cruise, we sailed through a narrow channel between two islands, only 9 meters wide. The ship passed so close to the shores that it felt like you could reach out and touch the trees. It was magical. This incredible experience was made possible by Muskoka Steamships, a company that operates two historic vessels on the lake. One of the ships is an astonishing 125 years old and still proudly cruising. Both offer a variety of tours—with or without meals on board—and provide an unforgettable way to explore this iconic Canadian destination. We loved every minute of it. The cruise, the scenery, the stories—it was all absolutely worth it.

A great way to see the Autumn colors around Muskoka Lake. The trip takes about 2.5 hours. The wharf and the boat are clean and well maintained. The staff are nice and the guide is very knowledgeable about the history of the lake and surrounding lake.

Great day! Live stock Blue ribbons for best quilting, Flowers, vegetables, poultry and so much more. The locals were so friendly. Fantastic time!

Reservations made in advance made it very simple and easy to get our printed tickets. The 2 1/2 hour trip was wonderful and the host extremely well versed in the Muskoka lakes trip was outstandingly and humoursly informative.

Went on the 2:30 sightseeing cruise. The gentleman that did the commentary was awsome. Great storytelling about the area.

Nice memorable saturday 11,Oct. Gravenhurst Wenonah II steamship 1hr ferry 4- 5 pm.Muskoka Beautiful nature,lake, scenery.We enjoy.Happy family & friends .Thanks to Team of Wenonah II.

Muskoka Brewery is a great stop if you’re in the area. They’ve got a solid selection of drinks to choose from, whether you're into craft beer or just trying something new. The place has a relaxed, vacation-y vibe — perfect for a casual afternoon. They also have some really cute merch and even a few fun, fragrant hand soaps that caught my attention. All in all, it’s a cozy, welcoming spot that fits right in with the laid-back Muskoka feel. And don’t forget to play a quick round of cornhole while you’re there P.S. — the images isn’t of the brewery itself, it’s from the Muskoka cruise — just wanted to share the overall feel of the place!

Very cozy place with a great atmosphere and delicious beer! Each beer has its own character — it’s a joy to try them all. The staff is super friendly, and you feel like you’re visiting old friends. We’ll definitely be back!

The Muskoka Brewery was a great host for a lunch stop on our scenic tour of Muskoka as part of the MG102Fest weekend. Thank you for your generous donation in support of our event.

A remarkable beer shop and brewery in Muskoka. They sell various beer with different flavours and they also have beer that is almost zero alcohol for young adult to drink with parental guidance.

Detour ISA it’s the best Canadian beer. It’s just perfect. One the best beer recipe around the world. Should be sold everywhere not only in Canada, other countries should know what’s this guy do.

Was a fantastic stop on our way to Algonquin! Awesome beer selection and a cozy, welcoming vibe. The tall guy behind the bar was on another level. I accidentally ordered the wrong drink, and he immediately offered to replace it without any hesitation. I tried the beer flight with the bartender’s choice, and you could tell he really put thought into the selection. It really made my day after a long drive from Waterloo.

This place is truly incredible — I highly recommend everyone to come and try it! It’s the most delicious beer in Ontario. The people who work here are very friendly and professional. After visiting this place just once, you’ll never forget it.

If you have a toddler and don’t know what to do…look no further !!! The whole family had an incredible time at Chappell farm! The animals are so cute and well kept. So much to do! 10/10 will be coming back and highly recommend to all parents. The donkeys stole my heart, they were so sweet🥺❤️

Very cute local spot for people who love animals! Lots of goats, a couple of pigs, and free roaming roosters! Definitely stop by if you are looking for things to do in the area. Great for kids.

Always a wonderful time in this farm. We get to come in here every Fall Festival courtesy of the realtor who sponsors us and among others for the festival. We get to pick our pumpkins, take a tractor ride, feed the farm animals, and eat snacks/lunch from the food vouchers that came with the tickets from the realtor sponsor. Always a blast!

I loved my experience here the pumpkins were amazing. I would recommend going in early October for the best pumpkins. For entertainment there is magic shows bouncy castle for the little kids Animals to feed and so on!

We had an absolute blast here. What a wonderful experience to have with your family. There is so much activities to do with your young kids. Well kept place, and the staff is extremely friendly. We loved chatting with everyone around. We fed the animals, went on the tractor ride around the farm, picked pumpkins, we ate poutine, hotdogs, pizza and ice cream and it was all delicious. The kids loved meet Hank. And My husband and I loved chatting with Mr.Bruce. We will most definitely be back quite frequently.

We had a blast on a father’s day here. Our daughter fed the goats, ran around the maze and enjoyed the wagon ride. Really nice place and totally worth the 50 min drive from Toronto

A perfect fall day at Chappell Farms 🎃🍁 The kids ran wild, picked pumpkins, and loved every minute!

2024 September 2.5★ Located near the port, this beach is small and has a lot of pebbles. A small playground and washrooms are available, but really, It's just an ok beach. It would be better if the beach was combed and rocks removed. No dog signs are around, but you still see them there. People need to be more considerate for everyone and at the very least, pick up after your dog. Otherwise, the waters are ok. Overall, the beach is fine for those in the area. However, not quite a place to venture on to.

It's such a beautiful beach park in Orillia. Water is so clean, almost transparent. Sand was so nice. The water was cold but still we enjoyed this beautiful beach a lot. All the areas in the park, slides, and picnic shelter all were very nice and clean. We look forward to returning here again!!

Couchiching Beach is a charming spot located in Orillia, Ontario, perfect for a relaxing day by the water. The beach is clean and well-maintained, with soft sand and shallow waters, making it ideal for families with children. There’s a large park nearby with picnic tables, playgrounds, and walking trails. The beach area also has washroom facilities and ample parking, which adds to the convenience. Overall, Couchiching Beach provides a peaceful and enjoyable outdoor experience.

After lunch we took a stroll down to the waterfront in Orilla, and to our surprise it was absolutely beautiful. This was our first time visiting the waterfront. There were plenty of trails to walk, a couple of sandy beach spots with public washrooms/change rooms, a fantastic kids jungle gym, splash pad and an outdoor theatre. Plenty of picnic tables and beautiful grounds to have a picnic with your family and friends. There were many options for snacks and ice cream to purchase, and the nearby restaurants are a short walk.

Beautiful beach located in Orilia. A great place for the family. Kids can enjoy the small park, a short train ride and safe swimming for all to enjoy. Well maintained area (clean bathrooms facilities, and green areas). Enjoy admiring the boats along the water horizon. With a welcoming community, this beach park is a must to visit with the family!

The entire waterfront was under construction, part of the Centennial was closed. Managed to find a parking near the railway for kids. The scenery along the boardwalk was beautiful. Still in late May, not many boats in the water yet. A little windy, pretty quiet.

Great beach, very spacious with lot of trees and spacious park, picnic tables, some playgrounds for kids and a train ride for all ages. Great for family. Lot of free parking. It also has a restroom.

We came here on a weekend to shop and it was pretty ok in terms of walk in traffic, not very crowded which I liked. The outlet offers a wide range of stores in almost every category. It has most of the top clothing brands. However, there is a lack of luxury brands which might be due to the further location form main cities. The whole outlet design, in terms of stores, is pretty nice and spacious. There is a small space for food court and sitting, which compared to the outlet size might come out a bit small. There is not enough seats and tables for the amount of traffic they host daily. Also, the variety of food is not that good. This could have had some better food brands to bring more variety. There is a tim hortons, which is a staple in every food court and is good. There is plenty of free parking outdoor and its usually easy to find a spot even when its busy. Washrooms are also pretty clean and stocked up as well. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, however, I might find pretty more well located and more varied outlets around the city than this one, so coming back might not be an option.

Great place to shop with excellent options for name brands and designer clothing. There is plenty of parking and it is ideally located off the highway exit. A cool place to shop.

If you're heading north of Toronto, it’s a must-stop. I always leave with something I love and never regret the drive. Almost all brands have a branch here like Coach, Nike, Puma, Tommy, Calvin Clain ... Parking is free and there’s always plenty of space. It’s family-friendly and feels safe and welcoming whether you're just browsing or out on a serious shopping mission.

A short visit to Tanger Outlets Cookstown is a well-regarded shopping center with a wide variety of stores, dining options, and amenities. Its convenient location near major highways makes it easily accessible for a day trip from Barrie or the Greater Toronto Area.

There are lots of major brands factory outlets with good deals. The collection is good. Space is sparely crowded so one can shop peacefully. The common sizes are easily available and in stock at most stores. Food opts are not much but if needed you can grab a quick bite.

🛍️ One of the best places to shop without the usual crowd & Chaos. Plenty of spacious parking.

I am their customer since 2017. I went there almost 3 times a year. They have very good deals most of the time. They changed the Tanger application recently so new app is much better than the old one. The new customer evaluation and rewards system is much better. The deals in the new app is really fantastic. The Under Armour and Columbia always has a good deal. The Mall is very clean and quiet. The only thing I believe they can improve is the number and verify of the restaurant and fast food. I highly recommend.

Great experience. The vew of the lake was beautiful. Plenty of benches. The kids' play area was very good. Overall enjoyed the visit.

Best place for fall scenic view, about 20-25 mins walk through trails along couchiching lake. We have visited on Oct 20, it was full foliage.

This should be the pride of Orillia. What a beautifully manicured park with recreational facilities, multi-use trails, and tons of benches, right on the shores of Lake Couchiching. Check out the Gordon Lightfoot tributes for some extra points of interest.

Had a pit stop here on the way back to Ajax, nice park with good areas for Picnics, if it wasn't super cold would have had a longer walk around. The beach area looks great too. Need to come back when the weather is better.

Absolutely one of the best family parks I've been to. The Slash On floating waterpark was a blast. 2 hours for $20 and life jacket rental is included in the price. Book/Pay online in advance at splashon.ca and choose Orillia location or Barrie

Wonderful place for walking weather with your dog or a friend. Big beach and splash pad on super hot days like today. Big plus plenty of free parking. Sandwiched between Lake Simcoe and lake Couchaching the views are breathtaking.

Great location, good beach. The water is only a few feet deep and it has artificial sand, so no rocks. Only the one change station, community rooms not private rooms. No wash up pipe to wash the sand from your feet. The chip truck and ice cream store are onsite which helps.

We had a great time! Our room was upgraded to a jr suite, which was awesome. It was huge, comfortable and very nice. The pool area and sauna/steam rooms were perfect after a long day of walking the casino floor. The property was really nice too, lots of apple trees down the walking trail.

Amazing resort. I am not much for gambling, but really enjoy the concert venue. Rooms are beautiful, very clean and spacious. Great staff. Food at Match Restaurant is excellent (we didn’t get to try the others). Tim’s on site is open 24 hrs. Lovely shops as well featuring local indigenous artists. Well worth the drive!

The hotel is very nice, and decorated beautifully. Room was large and clean. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, some at reasonable prices. I'm not really a casino person but it seemed ok but hate to see live dealers replaced with machines on craps and roulette.

Rama Casino is definitely one of the best casinos in Ontario. It’s a great spot for entertainment and enjoyment, especially for spending weekends. The gaming platforms are exciting, and if played properly, there’s a good chance of getting returns and having fun at the same time. The only area I’d say could improve is the complimentary drinks — taste-wise, they aren’t the best quality. Otherwise, everything else is excellent. Overall, I would give it a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I'm writing to express my gratitude for the incredible experience I had during my recent stay at your establishment. I was thoroughly impressed by the beautiful building and event space, the fantastic restaurants, and the sheer opulence of the rooms and suites. The casino was also a highlight, and the complimentary $10 card was a thoughtful touch that enhanced the experience. Thank you again for providing such a high level of service and a memorable stay. I look forward to returning soon.

Loved this place! The casino was lively and clean, and the staff were super friendly. The concert hall inside is amazing — great sound, comfy seating, and such a fun vibe. Perfect spot for a night of music and entertainment! There is also plenty of free parking around the casino!

My family and I recently visited Casino Rama with our children. While our experience initially had a few challenges (through no fault of the hotel), I wanted to take a moment to highlight the outstanding customer service we received from Crystal Wilson. Crystal was incredibly understanding and empathetic when we shared our concerns. Her professionalism and genuine care made a significant difference in turning our experience around. It’s clear that your team truly values its guests and goes above and beyond to ensure they feel heard and supported. Casino Rama is a beautiful resort, and thanks to the exceptional service we received, we’re very much looking forward to returning. I highly recommend it as a wonderful getaway destination.

For my first camping experience, I couldn’t have chosen a better location than Sibbald Point. The campground offered ample space for parking and setting up multiple tents; we comfortably managed with two tents and one car, and still had plenty of room to spare. The site is meticulously maintained, with a variety of amenities that enhance the experience. There’s a beach and a boat area for water activities, designated spots for BBQs, and a food area, ensuring that all your outdoor needs are covered. One of the highlights is the abundance of washrooms conveniently located around each campsite, making the stay more comfortable. The campsites themselves are surrounded by trees, providing a sense of privacy and seclusion, which added to the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the proximity to a nearby neighborhood was a bonus. It’s reassuring to know that if you forget something or need to stock up on food or supplies, everything you need is just a short drive away. Sibbald Point truly offers a well-rounded camping experience, making it a perfect choice for both first-timers and seasoned campers alike.

Overall I recommend this beach. The beach has plenty of parking most of the time. My family has a season pass as we go here often as its close by. The beach is great for young children as they can go out fairly far and it is still shallow. There are also cool rocks to either fish from or snorkel. We camped here one time and it was a decent experience. One down side is the need to pre-register for each day use, although if you can get passed this its not bad. Another downside is because it's close to Toronto it gets many sketchy and disrespectful people. When we camped with my family and children the camper next to our site started blasting evil music with curse words in it and when we asked them to turn it down they didn't care. The park ranger ended up having to talk to these campers and give them a warning. Also almost every time we get a picnic table near the beach and start using it with our stuff all over it some disrespectful people place their belongings on our picnic table that we are using. I think it's a cultural thing and these recent immigrants don't understand Canadian values and respect for peoples space. Other than these incidents, this park is beautiful and fun for my family so we still will end up going here due to it being close and convenient.

Beautiful spot. You can do a lot of beach activities. You need to bring your own canoe or kayak as rentals are not provided in the provincial park. Couple of Canadians and refugees were feeding sea gulls. Please avoid doing that. Other than that lake simcoe is love.

Spent two nights camping here and absolutely loved every minute. The grounds are very well kept as are the facilities. Such a beautiful and relaxing experience. Took a tour of the little museum and visited the shops as well, friendly staff. The water is clean as was the beach, overall a great place. Highly recommended. We left the dogs at home this trip but the lots are roomy enough to bring your pets and the dog beaches are easy accessible. It would be great if you could get a paddle boat or jetski rental nearby but you can bring your own as they do not have any on site or nearby.

Great place to camp not too far from Toronto. Sobeys is just a 9 minute drive away if you need more groceries. Camp grounds can be noisy, especially in the west camp where there are electric outlets. People blast music on loud speakers, sing and hold parties both at camp sites and at the beach, but it was lively and fun since they happened to play good music when we stayed there. Things quieted down before 11 pm. Electric outlets come in handy for people with electric cars, RVs, campers. Also many of us used the plugs to pump air mattresses, charge cell phones, etc. One family had string lights decorating their camp site at night which was pretty. Beautiful beach and lake for day trips or to enjoy while camping. Beach gets busy and crowded but we got there for 10 am on a Saturday and had a nice picnic table by the lake. Staff at the front gate and at the little amphitheatre were friendly and helpful. It was educational to go to amphitheatre to learn more about bugs. They had nets and containers for visitors for catching bugs which are then gently released back into the meadow. Be careful about ticks! I’ve attached the warning from the guide/guide to the park.

This park offers a great camping experience with beautiful natural views. The beach is decent for swimming, and there aren't many mosquitoes. However, the washroom cleanliness could be improved, and the provided toilet paper is of low quality—it's best to bring your own. On the bright side, the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful park with nice beach and facilities. We visit every year with our family. There is a daily ticket per vehicle that is affordable. You can bbq with the following of safety rules. Make sure you clearly understand the law - drinking alcohol beverage in public is not allowed and we witnessed some people being charged by the Police.

This place has it all for kids! It has multiple playgrounds, an old firetruck they can climb on, lots of farm animals that they can feed, shows every couple hours as well as a tractor ride. Depending on the time of year, you can also go through the corn maze; all of this is included with admission. There’s a beautiful country store with lots of local sauces and crafts. We didn’t eat there, but we picked up some fresh vegetables. A lot of people have weddings there as well. If you happen to get the road trip from Guess Where Trips that takes you here, you can get free admission for 2 kids.

The Ultimate Autumn Day Trip! Fall is here — leaves are changing, pumpkins are ready, and Halloween is just around the corner! If you’re looking for a half-day trip to enjoy all the cozy autumn vibes, Brooks Farms in Uxbridge (less than 30 mins north of Toronto) is the perfect escape. Here’s what you can enjoy: Pumpkin & Sunflower Picking – Wander the fields and pick your own pumpkin, or grab one from the bucket if you want to stay clean. Don’t forget the sunflowers — they make the perfect autumn photos! Barnyard Playland – Over 20 acres of fun with wagon rides, pirate ships, giant jumping pillows, a singing chicken show , cute farm animals, and more. Fun for the whole family! Farm Market, Bakery & Cafe – Stop by to pick up a large variety of local fresh produce, including seasonal fruits and veggies. Grab a coffee, drink, or dessert while you’re there. The shop also has a selection of charming crafts and decor, perfect for adding a cozy touch to your autumn table. Hours: Farm Market & Cafe open daily 9–5 | Playland open 9–4 Admission for the playland is $20/person. Parking is easy. Whether you leave with a pumpkin, some fresh produce, or just a bunch of happy memories — you’ll definitely leave with a little bit of autumn magic in your heart!

Brooks Farm is an amazing place for families with kids! There are so many fun activities — from animal interactions to play areas, wagon rides, and seasonal attractions. My children absolutely loved exploring and had a blast the entire day. One tip: if you want to save a bit, bring your own water and snacks, as food and drinks at the farm can be a little pricey. Other than that, it’s a wonderful, well-organized spot for a family outing. Highly recommended!

Great farm. Lots of things to keep kids busy and engaged. There were several playgrounds, giant trampolines, lots of animals, pumpkin cannon show, tractor rides, corn maze, apple picking etc. The cafeteria (Hungry Hut) had good food and large portions. It is a huge place so you can easily spend the whole day here with your kids. Staff were kind and helpful. The biggest pro for me was the washrooms. Most farms we’ve been to for festivals have portable washrooms. This place has proper facilities. I hate using a dirty portapotty—especially with kids. The washrooms are what prompted me to review the place and give 5 stars! If you have little kids, you know! We bought two pies (apple caramel and pumpkin) and I wouldn’t recommend the pies. They are small and taste store bought. But their maple muffins were delicious.

If you’re looking for a one-stop-shop for the family, you won’t be disappointed at Brooks Farm. I took my 4Y and 18M old to look at the animals, use the playland, buy pumpkins and enjoy the farm. The absolutely loved it, with multiple play structures, variety of animals and activities like the wagon ride. The marketplace has a good selection of cute homestyle goods and foods. Bring loonies if you want corn to feed for the animals.

We had a great farm experience — perfect for kids! There were plenty of photo opportunities with the apples, sunflowers, and pumpkins, which made the visit really special. It did feel a little pricey, so I’m taking off one star, but overall it’s a must-visit spot for families with kids of any age.

One word, Heaven.no place is like this .kids enjoy, parents love, the best place I have ever felt the Fall and the privilege of pumpkin. Extraordinary scenery and all the food and drink.

Balsam Lake Provincial Park is the kind of “close-enough to get there, far-enough to feel away” escape that is a win for us. Its clean, sandy, kid-friendly beach and easy hiking trails/scenic loops provide a well rounded experience (note, many trails were closed when we went due to an earlier wind/snow storm bringing down some trees). The park and campgrounds are well-maintained and family-friendly. Since we camped there, we got to the beach early and was able to feel comfortable as the beach got crowded later in the day. Be aware, the campground roads are a bit narrow, so be aware while driving and walking. At Balsam, you’ll get solid outdoor fun, decent facilities, and a comfortable dose of nature with your ice cream at the Shop.

Balsam Lake Provincial Park offers a truly wonderful outdoor experience. The lake water was exceptionally clean and inviting, perfect for swimming and enjoying a peaceful day. The overall environment was calm and friendly, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities. Both the beach area and the campsites were well-maintained and spotless. However, I was disappointed with the state of the washrooms, which were quite dirty and could have been much cleaner. This is one area that definitely needs improvement. Despite the issue with the washrooms, I'll definitely be visiting this park again. A key tip for anyone planning a trip: if you want to secure a campsite, be sure to book 5 or 6 months in advance, as spots fill up very quickly. This park is a gem, and with a little more attention to the washrooms, it would be perfect.

Great spot! Well maintained, easy to navigate. Some secluded spots or plenty of wide open sites. The comfort station was well maintained. Lake is nice, solid beach with sand for the kiddies. Parks and open fields to play in. Rentals are available to canoes and such.

This was our first visit to Balsam Lake Provincial Park, and we wanted to wrap up our camping season surrounded by the beauty of fall colours — it did not disappoint! Our RV site was spacious, spotless, and perfectly located. I love that the park is close to the city, making it an ideal weekend getaway. It’s absolutely worth the visit — a must for anyone who enjoys peaceful nature escapes. We had an amazing weekend here. The park offers beautiful waterfront trails, a clean and inviting lake perfect for swimming, and a well-maintained beach. There are several park stores nearby for snacks or essentials, and the campsites are large, quiet, and relaxing. The grounds are very well kept, the beach is lovely with clear water, and the comfort stations are clean and easy to access. Whether you prefer open sites or more secluded spots, there’s something for everyone. The park also features great amenities like canoe and kayak rentals, open fields for games, and a lookout point with a breathtaking sunset view. We’ll definitely be coming back — a truly relaxing and memorable camping experience!

Balsam Lake is one of the best camping spots within a couple of hours from the GTA. The campground is clean and well maintained, with spacious sites and plenty of trees for shade and privacy. The beach is beautiful — shallow, sandy, and perfect for kids. The water is clean and calm, ideal for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding. There are also several hiking trails, canoe rentals, and lots of wildlife around. If you’re looking for a peaceful nature escape with great lake views, a nice beach, and solid facilities, this park is highly recommended.

Great park for family camping with all camping amenities. Nice beach with lots of picnic benches. Nice children's playground. There are also hiking/walking trails with a lookout.

I really enjoyed this park. Our first time here won't be our last. I like the fact that it's close to the city so it's perfect for weekend camping. Well worth the visit actually a must .

I just had a great lunch at Nest. This was thanks to the recommendation of Garlice - Events and Operations Manager. I had no expectations of the quality of food here until she mentioned it and she was not wrong. This place really felt upscale. From the service, surroundings and flavours. Our server Grace really did a great job describing each dish that came out and really highlighted all the locally sourced menu and drink options. The seared duck was a highlight. The whole experience was not rushed and we were able soak in the great view. A very pleasant hidden gem and must visit if you’re planning on being in the area.

I helped friends arrange a celebration of life here. The space is absolutely beautiful! Views are outstanding. Food and Beverage set up was very good. Staff was extremely helpful. New furnishings lend a cozy Lodge type appeal.

My friends and I go to the country night on Fridays at the Trail Hub practically every week unless they have a wedding there. We love the beautiful venue the beautiful spacious dance floor and all of the fun linedancing we get to do! Everyone is very friendly and everyone tries to help people learn to dance. The instructors are great and teach us new dances every week! The food is also very tasty and they even have barbecues for us in the summer. The staff are also very helpful and friendly there. If you are looking for a fun night of dancing at a beautiful venue then you should try Trail Hub. You will for sure see us on the dance floor!🤠

We had an absolutely amazing experience! They personalized it for us since it was my husband’s birthday, even treating us to champagne and dessert on the house. The food tastes exceptional, and the staff is so friendly and amazing. The ambiance is beautiful, and the vibe is incredibly peaceful.

It is very peaceful and beautiful here at Trail Hub. I wanted to come here initially because of the culinary experience at Nest Restaurant & Lounge (2nd floor) ^^ You can eat, lounge, hike, play and celebrate all your special occasions! Day pass for hiking is $6 per person, can purchase ticket at black trailer outside or upstairs at the Handlebar Grill. They also have mountain bike rentals and a Disc Golf, aka frisbee golf! It is a privately-owned family business. The property is well-maintained, and it is definitely an escape to paradise! Highly recommend ^^

My husband and I got married at Trail Hub on October 19th 2024. We do not have enough good things to say about this wonderful venue and fabulous staff. We could not have asked for a better wedding venue coordinator - Kelly ensured our day ran smoothly from beginning to end. We had guests who were commenting on Kelly's organization and her care for small but important details. The food was incredible - we had many guests who told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Everyone was blown away by the ceremony view, and the structure of cocktail hour with the grazing table. We would highly recommend Trail Hub as a wedding venue - no one will take better care of you than Kelly!

We stopped along our trip to check this place out. We didn't have time to eat but will come back for Sunday Brunch someday. The view is beautiful and I'm sure in the autumn it will be spectacular. This place would be great to hold an event or a wedding.

I visited on a very hot summer day and unfortunately many of the animals were either hiding in the shade or sleeping, which made it harder to see them. I was especially excited to see the polar bears, but they were resting during my visit. The zoo itself is quite large, and it can easily take half a day to explore all the different sections. I think going in the fall would be a better experience since the weather is cooler and the animals are likely to be more active and visible. Despite the heat, I really enjoyed walking through the different areas, and my favorite part of the zoo was definitely the Africa section with its wide variety of animals and beautiful setting. Overall, it was a fun visit and I would recommend it, but the timing of the season can make a big difference in what you get to see.

In Toronto, the Zoo is one of the most visited attractions for tourists and locals alike, as its focus on entertaining children and young adults means it's always bustling. If you're planning a visit, I recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance to avoid lines at the entrance. However, you can also try buying tickets at the door and get discounted tickets. The Zoo often hosts events at certain times of the year, such as this one for Halloween, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on their social media for more information on opening days. To get there, there's a shuttle service from Union Station and a bus that runs directly to the Zoo. If you're driving, they have private parking. For food, the park is very well-equipped, with plenty of snack bars, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a Tim Hortons. However, you can bring your own food, as the park has picnic tables. The park has excellent facilities for visitors with disabilities, with paved streets without potholes, access ramps, staff support, and accessible restrooms. The park also has lockers, where you can rent and leave your belongings. Along with all the animal facilities, the zoo also has a splash pad that opens in spring and closes in the first weeks of fall, a zip line, a carousel, and souvenir shops. The tour is very cool, and everyone is sure to be delighted.

Toronto Zoo is a great place for families. Even though there is construction happening right now and a few animals are not available to see, it’s still absolutely worth visiting. The zoo is clean, spacious, and well organized. My son enjoyed the kids’ learning areas and interactive displays. Friendly staff, lots of walking paths, and plenty of spots to relax. A great outdoor experience for kids and adults — we’ll definitely visit again!

I haven't been to the zoo in 30 years! My one year old grandchild was in awe and it brought back wonderful memories of visiting with his mother. I loved how clean it was and the hospital was pretty amazing. The staff were most helpful too. A great day had by all.

Overall great place. The only reason I removed a star is because, although I understand many of the animals not being out because November is cold, in the canadian area there were supposed to be 6 animals out and we were only able to see 3 of them. That was definitely not worth the absurdly steep hill we had to climb on our way back. That was the only downside of the experience. Loved the place though.

We hadn't been to the zoo in over a decade. Though we got there relatively early in the day, we ended up skipping the whole Canadian section for two reasons: time, and the sheer amount of walking we would have had to do. The day we went, the Capybaras were also block off (or at least we could not figure out how to get to them). A tad disappointing for one of our party. I think that some of the signs were a tad difficult to follow, even with a map to help guide us. There was also limited staff on the premises with visitors, so there wasn't really anyone we could ask other than other visitors. I strongly encourage the following: 1. Buy your tickets in advance. If buying on location, make sure to show your presto card for a discount. 2. Bring food and water. You will get hungry, and as with all day long trips you will need to refresh and fuel yourself. 3. Bring a good camera. You're not particularly close to any of the animals in outdoor enclosures (understandable), so if you wish to take pictures, make sure you bring your best camera or phone. 4. Make note of washrooms. There are a good number of them, but you do have to walk a good little while between each one.

It is a fantastic place to visit with family and friends. We had a good time seeing all Fall colors and walking around. While animals in captivity is bad, it is still important to understand them and value their importance in our lives. They have so many different species of all kinds of animals. Some animals are always resting so you don't get to see them always. You have to pay $20 for the parking and the tickets are extra. They have plenty of parking though. Definitely recommend visiting once.

We had a wonderful dining experience at the restaurant inside the Great Blue Heron. The food was absolutely worth it—flavorful, warm, and generously portioned. The servings were more than sufficient hat my family and I were able to share, making it even more enjoyable. The plating was well done, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. On top of that, the service was excellent—the staff was incredibly polite, helpful, and welcoming. We left completely satisfied and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend, the only suggestion we have is additional food on the menu if possible.

It smells very musty upon entering, the hotel is very outdated. I understand since this is on a property with a casino the owners may not want to include any amenities, but since this is the only fairly decent hotel in Port Perry that is pet friendly we stayed here. Almost $400 a night, no meals included, no pool, it took a long time for the room to cool down (no air conditioning running when we went in the room) We weren’t interested in the casino; we wanted to visit beautiful Port Perry on our last stop of our week long road trip. Port Perry didn’t disappoint, but this motel did. It’s too bad. They could really take advantage of being a large hotel in a beautiful area.

Clean, beautiful rooms. Comfortable beds and pillows. Friendly staff. Complimentary morning coffee in the Eatery is robust and flavourful. Restaurant in the Casino serves amazing meals - generous portions - delicious.

NO WIFI. good experience, casino entry for ID is an unnecessary interrogation. I’m 36 and Asian, felt targeted just for looking Asian and the other ethnic bodies just walked in. But I had a good time either way. Lots of parking and slot machines were nice. Some table games. No water or drinks in sight. Couldn’t even find a place to signup for the membership. Would only come back really if I’m in the area, it’s very remote.

The room was clean and welcoming. A card and chocolates were left on the bed for us as we were celebrating our anniversary. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast. The service at the restaurant was impeccable and the food was fantastic. The casino staff were knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend. We will go back on our next trip to Canada!

The hotel is very nice and clean. The rooms are clean, and the beds are comfortable. They have a room where you can get coffee for free in the morning. I think they should also offer some orange and apple juice for the none coffee or tea drinkers. The staff are great! As far as the casino goes, it could be better. I don't expect to win, but I would like to be able to play, please.

We visited the Casino. We hadn’t been to it in over a decade. It appears that they’ve renovated since then as the interior looked different from how I remember. Staff was nice, however I felt the casino had a lot of slot machines (which isn’t unusual) and then some blackjack tables. They had two roulette tables, but only one operating. I swear they used to have more. The roulette table was crowded by what looked like regulars. It didn’t feel welcoming or easy access, so I just left. For a 45 min drive to Port Perry, I’m not sure I’ll be back.

I will not give my full review on this one since we did not explore the whole area. I did not see if there is a playground for kids. but surely it is good place for family gathering and team building since the place is so huge. I like to think that the petticoat creek conservation park is still under renovation since I saw a lot of notice of inaccessible routes. And I hoping they come out an idea to build ladder which is safe going to the lake front. the route going to the beach is a bit stiff for amateur like me it is quite dangerous. I just surprised with the parking fee which is 28 cad dollars. I really hope they improve the conservation so that the fees worth it. I did not see the washroom but they do have. I notice a lot of functioning table and cottage for events.

What an amazing experience!! This is my go to place whenever I am in my high or low spirits. I love to take random walks here. There are lots of existing places to visit here, small treks and sitting areas are amazing. You can come alone or with your family, this place will never let you down. 🙂‍↔️✴️

Petticoat Creek Conservation Park is a spacious, family-friendly destination perched above Lake Ontario, offering panoramic views and plenty of room to roam. It features picnic areas, open fields, a splash pad (seasonal), and paved trails that connect to the Waterfront Trail. The bluff-top lookout is a highlight, especially at sunrise or sunset. Parking is paid, and seasonal washrooms are available. While there’s no beach access, the park excels in scenery, space, and accessibility. Great for group outings, quiet walks, or a full-day picnic with lake breezes.

Petticoat Creek Conservation Park is one of Pickering’s best outdoor getaways. It’s got a mix of trails, open picnic areas, and great views of Lake Ontario from the bluff. The large outdoor pool and splash pad are perfect for summer visits, and there’s plenty of shaded space for families to relax. Parking is paid but usually easy to find, and the park is well-maintained with clean washrooms and picnic shelters. It’s also connected to the Waterfront Trail, so you can keep walking or biking along the lake. Beautiful spot for a day outdoors.

I think it is quite ridiculous that they change so much for entrie with a car when they do not have proper washrooms accessible or running water. In order to access the only washroom you have to walk a far distance which is not practical for all. Furthermore, the washroom is not large and kept well. I'm practically paying for the employees to drive around in golf carts, rather then the actual development of the park. Please invest the funds into reopening the restrooms in the water park area. If I was paying $8-12 then I would be fine, but $25+ is crazy for not even providing a functioning washroom.

So it was the first time my family went there because we’ve just got our TRCA membership back in Feb, we didn’t have to pay for entry fee nor parking fee which was great. There were fewer visitors obviously, and the walk was relaxing. There were many big pieces of green to run around with, some people brought their dogs over. The park is located next to Lake Ontario in Ajax, so visitors can get close to the cliff and take a peek of the lake, although it’s not recommended by the park management. It was a pleasant 20-minutes walk on the park trail from one end to another, and towards the end of the trail is a large steel connecting bridge to a nearby neighborhood. We looked down the bridge to find a young deer fetching for food near the river towards the opening to Lake Ontario. I believe camp booking is available on this site as well. Lots of birds, some squirrels and occasionally a rabbit hopping in and out of the plants.

Great conservation park with many beautiful areas near the waterfront for a picnic. This place is great for a BBQ with family and friends if you live in Toronto as there are not a lot of options for an outdoor BBQ in the city. There is an enterance fee of $20 if you want to park your car inside. Picnic benches are available in all picnic areas and the tall trees provide good shade. Trails are good for cycling and walking near the waterfront. There is a splash pad as well but is currently closed for maintenance. Overall a great park to enjoy a family weekend in the outdoors.

Cute historical theater small but bigger on feelings and love of movies. I would argue better than the name brand theater's and their prices for admission and popcorn combos. Friendly respectful employees, 10 out 10 will be back again and again.

The most charm you will find in a movie theater. I am a movie buff and I love watching movies here. Sheila is the best too :)!!!

This theater is great! So quaint and cute. I love the old style. Tickets are $10.00 for adults and the snacks are average for a theater (small popcorn was $5.00, medium popcorn was $7.00, large popcorn was $8.00, there are snacks/drinks to be purchased and a combo). This place is definitely dated and in need of renos, especially to the ceiling. However, for a little town like Lindsay, it's cute and a great addition to the downtown!

One of a kind theatre! So glad we chose it on our trip to Lindsay. We were debating between the cineplex in Peterborough or the Century Theatre. We decided on this small town oldie to watch Goosebumps 2 and couldn’t have been more happy! It’s such a gem. You seem to step back in time when you walk in the door. The 70’s era is alive and well here with bright upbeat colours, old displays, and vintage-looking advertisements. It’s clean, has comfortable seating, and the movie volume doesn’t deafen you. The staff is also friendly and snacks are reasonably priced. We cannot wait to go back!

This is definitely an old time theater as is the hvac system. I thought I was gonna die of heat stroke while watching top gun maverick. All the seats are below screen level so your looking up at the screen but the price for admission is good and there's no lineup.

can't wait to come again. we love bringing the kids to this theater. thank you Sheila (management) for your help and also staff you guys are awesome . see you again soon. from the Rivera family.

Great theatre! The staff there are fantastic, great people! Great prices on the popcorn. It's nice to have a local theatre to support. Definitely do my best to watch as many there as I can!

We stopped in on a whim, and were lucky enough to join in a tour with another couple that had called ahead. Fabulous tour, we had a great time! Mr. Bennett has such a passion for historic mechanical treasures and his tour was very informative. Be sure to bring some cash, as his wife makes and sells hand cranked socks and other nifty crafts. Thank you for the awesome afternoon!

We had the BEST time here. Respecting social distancing measures, we wore masks/sanitized our hands, and all the doors remained open for adequate air flow. One of the owners gave us a private tour which lasted over an hour, and because he had restored the items himself, we got demonstrations of many of the items on display - an experience you'd never get in a larger city museum. The gift shop featured many items that the owners made themselves like wool socks made with an antique sock loom, of which we bought several. Highly recommend a visit.

What a real treasure this is - a fabulous museum!!! Antique cars, gas pumps, steam engines of all sizes and shapes, music boxes, cash registers and many more historical artifacts, almost everyone restored and in operating condition. Richard Bennett is the curator and he is one entertaining individual, who has an intimate knowledge of his historical machinery. He has intriguing stories, which he graciously shares. Our group of six was captivated with the artifacts and the stories. This is a national treasurer that should be enjoyed by the local community.

Extremely informative and interesting. Mr. Bennett was just closing up when we came by because we had heard about the private museum from a relative, local to the area. He graciously gave us the tour and I am so happy we were able to see his collection and benefit from his vast knowledge! So many unique cars and machines and collectibles! This museum needs more exposure in "Things to Do and See in the Kawarthas".

When you pull up the drive you might think to yourself "how long could I spend in this barn?" But you'll be surprised! The antique and vintage equipment and period pieces are impressive the way they've been immaculately restored, and most are in working condition, but what really sets this place apart from other attractions is the passion and generosity of the owner, Mr. Bennett. His contagious energy and enthusiasm will draw you in as he explains the restoration process and historic significance of each piece in his collection. Gearheads, historians or anyone with a curious mind will love absorbing the rich stories that this place has to offer. They also sell candies and preserves, so be sure to bring cash!

We stumbled upon this place driving past on the highway. I called to make an appointment and the family was very accommodating. If you have an appreciation of history, antiques, or motor vehicles - this place is a gold mine. So many beautiful antique music players, sewing and house items, steam motors, and of course - the cars! It was my first time seeing a running Stanley Steamer in real-life. The tour, stories, and discussions with the family were great. Jay Leno and him once took the 1905 Cadillac through the Tim Horton's drivethru, lol. If you're in this area, this is a MUST stop.

We lived in and around the area for many years and just discovered this private museum. What a great place to visit and spend an hour or so. The tour was very personalized and extremely knowledgeable and most everything is restored and in working order from the early automobiles, steam engines, music players and so much more.This museum is by far among the best of the Kawartha jewels. We will do this again as there is almost too much to take everything in during one visit. Thanks for making this a day to remember.

First time at the Academy to see Tom Cochrane this week. So impressed. Five stars to the staff, the acoustics and the seating. She's a grand old place treasured by the fine folks of Lindsay. And steps from a large menu of main street dining offerings. We'll be back. Thanks for an awesome evening.

This is one of the nicest small town venues I have been to. The sound is amazing, and they have an excellent lineup of performers. The ticket prices are excellent and the buildings architecture is truly amazing!!

Lovely theater. Great view from every seat. Drinks bar stations on both floors. Friendly helpful staff & volunteers Only downfall : Seats are old and uncomfortable.

Great theatre with comfortable seating and rich heritage. Shows are professional and some big name acts play here.

Nice venue and staff. Only reason it doesn't have a perfect 5 is because the women's bathroom had multiple toilets that stopped flushing.

Theatre was a great venue to see may Favourite Canadian band, Blue Rodeo! Had a blast, and the beer was cold too! Ushers couldn't have been more friendly!

Over 500 seats. Good seating & excellent views of the stage. Offering a variety of shows & events.

My mom and I attended a Film Tour led by Parkwood this weekend. It was so much fun and so well organized! The tour was for one of our favourite shows, The Way Home, which has scenes filmed at Parkwood Estate. The tour took us to filming spots across Durham region and speakers from each municipality would share information about filming in their city/town. We were provided a coach bus, lots of food, and awesome behind the scenes details. People even drove/flew in from the States to attend. It was certainly a day to remember!

Parkwood Estate in Oshawa is a stunning historic venue — every part of the property feels timeless and elegant. The gardens, stone architecture, and natural light make it one of the most beautiful places in Durham Region for proposals, weddings, and portraits. This photo was captured at what many might think is the “back” of the estate, but it’s actually one of the main entrances — and it created the perfect romantic backdrop for a surprise proposal. The photography permit is very reasonable considering the estate’s history and charm, and it’s more affordable than many other venues of this caliber. Parkwood Estate is truly a hidden gem for anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable setting. 📸 Photos by JennaMorrisonPhotos

Beautiful ground with parking but be there early in the morning as it’s busy on the weekends specially during the weekend. There are guided tours or like me I just walk around by myself. Also check if there’s a scheduled events to help your experience. There’s a Tea House/Restaurant and a Gift shop. Also 2 washroom locations, by the gift-shop and just behind the Mansion. The garden is so beautiful and well maintained.

Really beautiful place! Definitely take the tour — there’s so much to explore inside the house. It’s fascinating to see how the wealthy lived in the 1920s, with features that many of our modern homes still don’t have. What stood out most is how, when you have money, everything can be custom-made exactly the way you want it. A must-visit for history, design, and architecture lovers.

Weekend Getaway | An Afternoon Steeped in Centuries of History** Today, I took the little ones to explore a hidden gem in Oshawa—Parkwood Estate! 🌳✨ This 19th-century historic manor feels gently preserved in time, with ivy-clad brick walls, glimmering fountain waters, and meticulously trimmed hedge mazes that frame the estate in quiet elegance. Running down the corridor featured in *X-Men* felt like stepping right into the movie scene 🎬. Watching clouds drift past the spire of the clocktower, I almost thought I could hear whispers from days long gone. The kids cheered, “Amazing trip today!” 🥳 If you’re around the Toronto area looking for a kid-friendly spot rich in history and photo opportunities, Parkwood Estate deserves a spot on your list ❤️～ P.S. It’s dog-friendly too!

The garden & surrounding areas were nice, well maintained; the washrooms clean ! The tea restaurant was just regular, had other expectations like tea in Victorian times ; the website it said you can enter the house, then when we got there found out there is a fee around $20 per person and is only scheduled for certain times; parking was free

This place is truly a hidden gem. We had a lovely afternoon tea & our server Amit was super attentive and charming. Grounds beautiful and so well taken care of. Staff was super friendly, made us feel welcome and thanked us for coming from Hamilton & Niagara. Was truly our pleasure! 🤩 Wonderful experience all around.

Great collection of vintage and classic cars! The Canadian Automotive Museum may not be huge, but they’ve done a fantastic job managing the space they have. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into preserving and presenting these vehicles for future generations—and we should be thankful for that. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was pleasantly quiet, which gave us time to really enjoy each display. Free parking was a nice bonus too. Admission was very reasonable—just $16 for an adult—and you can easily buy tickets right at the door. There’s also a washroom inside, which is always good to know when visiting with family. If you’re even a little interested in automotive history or just looking for a unique local outing, this place is definitely worth a visit!

A Retro Style Nostalgic Experience , in the heart of Oshawa City, I loved the Collection , The cars in the display were definitely taking us to time travel and check the Old Gems more than 100 years old. The Place is a great feast for car Enthusiasts including Kids and Oldies , We know that Canada has a wonderful history Automotive Industry , This place definitely do justice to it , I want all visitors to spread the words about this place so that It can be well maintained and attract more attention ....I will visit This time to time , I have to see my love Lighting McQueen !!

This is a very distinctive car museum, especially suitable for children who like cars. We saw a one-to-one McQueen here. The parking lot next to the museum is also very convenient, and it is worth recommending everyone to come and play!

As a car enthusiast and from the land down under (Australia) I travelled far and wide to visit this place. There are some beautifully preserved and presented vehicles to admire and read about. While the cars are tightly packed in some places , this museum could do with some extra space. However I enjoyed looking and admiring at the Canadian Automotive Museum’s history and knowledge. Allow an hour or two to take in all that it has to offer.

2025 May 4.5★ A great museum with many historic and iconic cars. With 2 stories and about 50+ cars, this place is worth checking out. Certainly wasn't expecting there to be that many cars upstairs. See the first hybrid gas electric vehicle, back to the future car and others. Adults $16 Street parking. Expect to spend about 2 hours inside. Non profit and great for the community.

Nice muséum with a good diversity of Canadian vehicles. From firsts Canadian carts to Bugatti type 35, going by Flash McQueen, y9u will be able to see and learn about a large variety of historic cars. I also really enjoyed the brochures available at the end of the visit. Thanks

I loved this museum. It's worth a visit. The gearhead and those interested in 20th century Canadian history will appreciate it. The museum is located in beautiful downtown Oshawa, in an historic commercial building. There's free parking on site, as well as metered street parking in front. Entrance fees are very reasonable. The first floor has many first rate, rare and expensive collectible cars, including Lester Pearson's custom Buick staff car, and the exquisite 1914 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, driven by Prince Edward ( not the current one, the King Edward VIII one) during his 1919 debauched jaunts around Montreal. Additionally there's rare treasures like a 1930s Bugatti race car, a Packard Twin-Six, and an aluminum classic blower-Bentley. The upper level has a mix of more ordinary cars plus some rare gems like a early Chevrolet converted to snow use, a friction drive CarterCar, a Brooks Steam car, and Canada's earliest existing electric car. Or, more precisely, the remains of it. One of the features of this museum is many cars are unrestored. They're displayed with the accumulated wear, use, dents and patina accumulated in their actual useful existence, decades or even a century ago This adds authenticity and realism to the displays. Of particular interest is their life-size diorama of a barn -find Buick. This museum is worth a visit, even if you've been there in the past. I last visited in the 1990s, but I found many cars on display weren't present back then. A visit takes about 1 to 2 hours to take everything in. There's some opportunities for better displays. They have both a DeLorean AND a Bricklin, two completely unrelated but very similar cars, in their history, engineering, development and marketing. They're missing a huge opportunity by not displaying them side-by -side with a comparative analysis of their circumstances. Such a display would be a real standout, especially given that the DeLorean is popular, but few people remember Canada's own Bricklin. Otherwise the museum is well done.

I had a fantastic experience at the Our Lady Peace concert! The venue itself was well-organized, with a smooth and efficient operation of both security and staff, which contributed to a positive overall experience. While the sound quality was decent for a hockey arena, the atmosphere was truly elevated by the energy of the crowd. It was vibrant and full of life. However, I did feel a bit let down at times when Raine Maida seemed to avoid hitting some of the higher notes. Despite this, his unique voice and impressive songwriting continue to be a significant part of the band's success, and it was evident throughout the performance.

It’s my first time for monster truck, and it’s a wonderful experience. The only problem is this arena is an indoor environment, so the noise would be way louder than I expected. If you come here for monster truck, you’ve better get your earplugs.

Excellent facility! 2 Ice Pads, best mens recreational hockey league in Durham Region. Not a lot of nonsense on the ice with most needing to work the next day. Also home to the Oshawa Generals OHL hockey club. Great concert events. Whether its recreational hockey, competitive hockey, or a great concert venue this place has something for everyone.

Great place. Brought my kids to an Oshawa Generals game and they loved it! Would definitely recommend. One of the staff members Tyler was very nice and helped us find our seat. Cashiers were friendly with my kids which made them so happy!

The staff from security to ushers and food counters were so friendly and welcoming. The seats were amazing. This is a incredible concert venue would go back any time.

We saw Lynyrd Skynrd here Sept 25. The sound was terrible. 4th time seeing them, always good. Not this time. Quite a low ceiling for a hockey rink. Very little parking available, but no fee after 6pm on the streets.

Amazing place for a night of family fun at the Gens game! Cash and cards are accepted as payment which was great. Not all vendors accepted cards, so it is good to take some cash. There is a bank machine if needed. Clean venue and friendly staff. Someone always willing to help if you needed to find your seats.

Thank you for a nice Valentine’s Visit. What a great Christmas present to get. Wine tasting tour, yummy charcuterie with a glass of our fave and a great little gift shop. Thank you Donavan for a nice tour. Something to cleanse palette would be our only suggestion.

Had such a great visit here! Not only do I love wine, pizza, and cottage country outdoor things to do, but I especially love dog friendly places! 🍷🐶 plenty of seating outdoors on the patio, lawn games to play, excellent pizza, and they don’t cheap out on the wine tastings! I think we sampled about 8 different kinds before we chose what we wanted a glass of. Very upbeat, friendly and fun staff. Beautiful location, can’t wait to come back!

I absolutely love this place. Very cozy, friendly staff and fabulous wine tasting! They also have the best wood burning, thin crust Vegan pizza💖 & I am extremely picky when it comes to pizza. They have a wonderful country shop located inside. The selection of everything is fantastic. Sundays they offer live music. Its dog friendly which is another absolutely amazing part, bringing the pups, sit outside on the patio and enjoy!

Today me and my two friends had the best experience ever! Kristen it’s such a lovely person 😍, amazing service, so patience and friendly! Wines are delicious!!!! The place is lovely we’ll be back soon and bringing our friends and puppies 💞💞💞💞

What a great place! Firstly free wine samples (Amazing). The woodfire pizza is excellent, great comfy outdoor atmosphere and free live music on Sunday afternoons! We bring out of town guests here as it is family friendly and accessible!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Have you ever gone to a winery and they spoke about different ways to enjoy your wine?! I haven’t until I spoke with John at Kawartha Country Wines. He recommended ways to transform their wines into a refreshing sangria, for more ways to enjoy…. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Love the section of wines, peachy keen being a top favourite in our house but also loving the pear, serious black…. Yum! Top it off … I came today and as I was leaving Donna mentioned to come back and try the tasty wood fire pizza. I will most definitely be back to pizza and wine!

Amazing wines and even better staff. I've had a few of their wines previously but had no idea how many different options they have. The facility is very quaint and the new one, to be opened sometime in the not too distant future, will be fantastic with the large entertaining space. Oh, and they are (very) dog friendly, as you can see from the photos :) I highly recommend stopping in, even if it's a bit of a detour.

A treasure trove of indigenous art from jewellery, paintings, decor, etc. using various mediums. Artist on site executing their craft add to the authenticity of the pieces. Get your cheque book out to buy art that is unique. P.S.: cheap gas is available on the way to the centre at 2-3 large locations.

Such a cool place to visit! We went today and it was way bigger than expected, the artworks were so beautiful and they had the coolest shop filled with so many different things to buy! We're definitely coming back to visit.

This store is simply incredible, whether in person or shopping on line it is a must for shoppers looking to buy anything indigenous in a good way and with reciprocity. As an ally it is really important to me to know I am purchasing and supporting indigenous artisans. Whetungs carries a wide array of artists, and products. From bead work jewelry, quill work, wood work, clothing, shoes, ribbon skirts and shirts in all sizes, ceremonial items, sacred medicines, and so much more. It’s an amazing place run by local curve lake First Nation people.

A beautiful cultural spot that showcases authentic Indigenous art, crafts, and history. The collection is impressive, from handcrafted jewelry and carvings to paintings and traditional items. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, making the visit both meaningful and educational. A must-stop if you're exploring the Curve Lake area.

Have a good chat with the owner Michael, and get some knowledge of the history of the store. Very nice place, lots of well made hand crafted arts, souvenirs. Come to support the local community.

I very much enjoyed my visit here. They have so many amazing products and items that it’s difficult to not buy anything. I walked out with a few quality items. It’s a little bit out of the way but it’s worth the visit. 👍😎

September 14, 2024 recently visited Whetung Ojibwa Centre after a scenic 1.5-hour drive from Pickering. We spent over two hours exploring the center, which features a stunning collection of Indigenous crafts, including dreamcatchers, jewelry, moccasins, paintings, and much more. The center also offers a museum, totem poles, and sculptures that provide insight into the Curve Lake First Nation and other Indigenous groups across Canada. One of the highlights for me was the beautiful selection of crystals, accompanied by a detailed guidebook. I ended up purchasing a bear claw, three Every Child Matters t-shirts designed by Freddy Taylor, a Residential School Survivor and Curve Lake First Nation member, along with some candy sticks for my kids. My friend gifted me a gorgeous porcelain mug featuring a design by artist Leah Marie Dorion, symbolizing the "Breath of Life"—a reminder that our breath is sacred and our words carry the power to impact the world positively. If you're looking for a peaceful and enriching day trip filled with beauty, positivity, and a deeper appreciation for life, I highly recommend visiting Whetung Ojibwa Centre. Be sure to check their website for special events—I’m already looking forward to visiting again!

An unforgettable experience at Jungle Cat World! This place is absolutely amazing and brought so much joy to my son Samy, memories that will last a lifetime. Samy has a rare genetic disorder, and the generosity, kindness, and warmth shown by everyone here truly touched our hearts. A huge thank you to Candice, who made our Behind the Scenes experience so special ; her passion and care for the animals (and for people) shines through in everything she does. And to Kory, whose big heart and kindness in the office made us feel so welcome from the very start. The whole team is genuine, caring, and full of love for what they do. The Behind the Scenes experience was simply magical we got to feed lions, pet a wolf, hug a fox, and feed lemurs! My kids got plush animals from the souvenir shop that they’ve been hugging nonstop they’re already inseparable with them ❤️ We can’t recommend Jungle Cat World enough. It’s more than a zoo, it’s a place full of heart. We’re already looking forward to coming back and staying at the on-site lodge, especially since guests can visit the park after hours and see how the animals are at night. A must-try for families and animal lovers! 🐾

We had such an amazing time, the behind the scenes experience was a dream come true! If you're looking for a fancy zoo, this is not the place for you. BUT if you are looking for a place where you can tell the people love their jobs and the animals they work with this is the place. You get up close with the animals without spending a fortune. You don't have to hope you will see the animals because they are right there, they even have animals just walking around like Mikey the donkey and beautiful peacocks. This place is definitely a hidden treasure. I recommend this place to anyone that wants a different kind of animal experience.

Had a blast with the kids! We got to watch the lions and wolves be fed, interact with the free roaming alpacas and donkey, and the bunnies were asking for pets. The peahen and chicks were shy but still came around. The playground was a lot of fun for the kids. The food there was good and well priced. I would highly suggest a visit.

*** Access2 Card accepted here *** Support person accompanying the person with disability, who pays, gets in for free. Nice way to spend half a day at a small zoo. Friendly, helpful staff and the zookeepers feeding the animals were informative and entertaining. They mentioned they act as a sanctuary to accept any animals which other zoos did not plan to have and cannot accommodate. Can bring in your own food and drinks hut don’t feed them to the animals. Lots of shaded benches to sit and eat. There are tiki umbrellas providing shade for the tables outside the restaurant. Also there are many tables and chairs in the area next to the restaurant in the covered area. Enclosed areas are small for the large lions, tigers, pumas, etc. but animals looked healthy. Peacocks, ducks, geese, alpacas roam free around the zoo. Can buy food to feed the birds and alpacas. Fun playground for kids with climbing structures, mountain with tunnels, slide and squeaky, vintage metal teeter totters.

Jungle Cat World Wildlife Park is a fantastic destination for animal lovers and families alike. This wildlife park provides a unique opportunity to observe and learn about a diverse range of species, including majestic big cats, playful lemurs, and fascinating reptiles. The park is well-maintained, with spacious enclosures that prioritize the animals' well-being. Staff members are knowledgeable and passionate, offering engaging talks and educational experiences that enhance your visit. The immersive environment allows for close encounters with some of the animals during scheduled feeding sessions. Overall, Jungle Cat World is a captivating place that combines education and conservation, making it a must-visit for anyone in the area.

This past weekend we visited Jungle Cat World for a behind the scenes experience. My father and son participated while my daughter and I followed along and explored the rest of the zoo. The staff were INCREDIBLE in making sure we felt welcomed and educated on the experience we had paid for. The tour guides were exceptional!! They helped to take a ton of photos so my dad and son have memories to share and show the rest of our family. It was so much fun, and a highly recommended gift to give someone!! We picked any 3 of the massive list of animals they had, and the staff were more than accommodating if we wanted to change our minds the day-of. We will definitely be back, especially for another behind the scenes.

Prowl in the Park at Jungle Cat World was an absolutely incredible experience! We, from Shack In The Back Designs, had an amazing time and were thoroughly impressed by the organization and the staff. The dedication to wildlife education and the care of the animals is truly evident in every interaction. It felt like a memorable, up-close encounter that successfully balanced conservation efforts with a wonderful visitor experience. We highly recommend Jungle Cat World to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful night out. We are already looking forward to joining future events to support their important mission! Thank you for a truly wonderful evening. Jacob Shack In The Back Designs

Lovely venue that is quite well run. Saw a production of The Wild Irish Geese and it was wonderful. Very edifying and the actors were great. Kudos to writer and scéalaí, Megan Murphy and director, Kim Blackwell.

Down a winding dirt road in the backcountry of Cavan/Millbrook, is this monster of a outdoor theatre on the Winslow Farm. Complete with concession stand, outhouses, picnic tables, and grandstands for your viewing pleasure. We watched the halloween show recently and it was spectacular. This is a very professional theatre and a local gem. Anyone looking for something to do in the Kawartha's should strongly consider checking out a show at this stunning site to see. The staff are friendly and very willing to help. During COVID-19 this is a safe way to still enjoy theatre in a safe manner. Congrats to such a wonderful group of talented people.

High praise for another great live Theatre production @ The 4th Line Theatre! The Housekeeper, directed and co-written by R.Winslow is a highly entertaining and 'spicy' storyline. It was NOT a 'sleeper'!

loved the play but really loved the set. wonderful rolling hills in the background which were used at times in the set

Excellent! First time going and to a sold out show. Well organized and thoroughly enjoyed production!

Megan Murphy really knows her audience in this enlivening play!

Wild Irish Geese was a great show!
