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

Amazing! It's a well maintained wooden bridge. It's fantastic scenery from the bridge. You can overlook people fishing on the boat and canoeing. Some people rode through the bridge. We were there in a Saturday morning in September. It's not crowded. The parking is free with 3 hours limited. It's close to water front tourist area.

Part of the Tiger Dunlop trail. Free parking at the south end of the bridge- walk up the gravel path for a stunning view of the golf course on the right/east. Lots of birds. The bridge is amazing and there are some historical signs. On the left/west side, at the north end is a loop trail - no distance but I would say maybe 2km? It is mostly flat and easy to follow. It follows the river at first, so you can see (and hear) the salt mine facilitates. I thought it would bring us to a nice view of Lake Huron, but no. It’s all woods. There is an ancient oak tree with it’s story on a plaque. When you get back to the bridge you can continue north if desired.

Easy hike and beautiful scenery... That's a win win for me. It's a nice relaxing place with amazing views as a reward. The paths are wide and easy to walk. Bikes are allowed too.

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

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

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

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

Great spot with loads of info about if you take the audio guide. Staff is really friendly as well. Well worth the price ( especially combined with the Huron Museum). Lots of parking but be aware it does warm in there in summer ( lots of fans inside ).

Informative tour, they give you handheld devices where you punch in the number of the exhibit and you put it up to your ear so only you can hear, it's not loud enough to disturb other people's experience. Some architectural details are very beautiful, especially in the center with the spiral staircase, the upper floor where the courtroom was and the Jail Masters house. Interesting design for the cells, a drab view for the incarcerated, but there were windows to let in some natural light. Outside in the courtyards they have a garden which is now used for growing food for the local community soup kitchens. If you're into history, this is a worthwhile stop.

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Huron Historic Gaol — Goderich, ON Small but fascinating historic site! The self-guided prison tour was really interesting, and the entry price was very reasonable. I highly recommend getting the combo pass for the museum — it made for a great day of exploring local history. Just be mindful that it closes early (4:30 pm), so plan your visit accordingly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Get a piece of Canadian history, the Gaol was built between 1839 to 1842, the Gaol had prisons, small courtroom and a chapel , antique artifacts are displayed showing the piece of history, the entry fee is nominal and lot of parking spaces available free of cost.The Gaol tour will take kind of 20-25 mins. It is located 250 meters to the Huron Museum and near to the downtown.

Great self guided tour. Learned alot about the history and people that were in there. I'd recommend 👍🏻 reasonably priced too

This is the first lighthouse that I've been able to climb to the top. The last set of stairs are just like climbing up a ladder. A great view of the marina and lake. The tour guide was informative with historical stories, tales of former residents and answered all of our questions. A quick pitstop while walking around the town.

Though I missed the season for experiencing the interior of the lighthouse museum, I still enjoyed walking the grounds and seeing the items on the outside, since I had never seen a real lighthouse. There's a great view, along with multiple narrative markers outside.

The staff on duty was very friendly. Beautiful view.

It is well worth visiting, i recommend using the guides, it is only $5.00 per person, easy to climb, you are not climbing all at once, floor by floor ,it does demand special attention, when you are coming down.my wife and I ,are 77 years old and we want right to the top, just take the information from your guide when you come down

A Historic Beacon with Scenic Views! Visited the Kincardine Lighthouse and Museum and was thoroughly charmed by its historic appeal. The climb to the top rewards with panoramic views of the harbour. The museum is small but packed with interesting local history. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Only wished there were more interactive exhibits. Nonetheless, a great spot for photography and learning about Kincardine's maritime past. Would recommend a visit!

By the time we got there was after the sunset but I think this is a great place to see a sunset. There are two piers but they do not let people go there. The beach is closed and no boats there yet. It is sad that the regular people can not enjoy anything but those that has cottages with front beach they are allowed.

Beautiful place to visit just near the beach. Not very crowded but good relaxing visit. Good place to visit with kids and family. Nice and clean inside.

The show "Grease" was very well done. Not a mediocre voice in the entire cast! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because my seat was at the far edge of the stage so I ended up sitting a bit sideways ...which got uncomfortabe and the arm of the seat was sticking into my back. There should be more angle on outside seats

Unique venue, anyone with mobility issues will want orchestra level or go early to wait for the elevator which is very, very slow. One set of small bathrooms for the whole venue, long waits. Cash only for 50/50 draw. Debit accepted at concessions. Great staff. Climate was very comfortable, as it was a very hot day.

Great small local theatre. Only 13 mins away from our small rural town, Arthur. Old historic building. Great theatre. Old, classic set up. Usually entertaining shows. For adults and occasionally for kids. Price? Affordable. Free parking. No major crowds, no traffic. Drayton chop House a great place for a local beef burger or appetizer, a beer or glass of wine before the show. Better than go out down town Toronto.

Wonderful small venue. Staff could not have been more helpful. Had a great wheelchair bathroom, big enough for an assistant as well. Free parking and site and a other a block away.

What an incredible experience! Went to Drayton Theatre for first time and absolutely loved it. The staff, environment and experience was outstanding. Saw the play Grease and we were all up dancing at the end. I cant wait for my next experience at the Drayton Theatre.

The shows at Drayton are always entertaining and well done and The box office staff and volunteers are as proffesional and proficient at their parts in the show as the actors, directors and stage hands. A gem of a theatre group right in our back yard.

Grease was an entertaining musical - great performances by the DJ, Sandy and the actor who performed in the red sequined jacket. Comfortable seats. Interesting building.

We had a great time watching liars at a funeral play!!! The building itself is so cute and clean on the outside and rustic and abin like on the inside. Theres a bar with snacks and beverages a bit pricey but expected. The theatre area was smaller than i expected very cozy and stage was probably easy to see everywhere. Will hopefully go back aomeday!!

Super Community Theatre, well-kept, clean washrooms, and has a bar. Staff is very helpful. Saw 'Liars at a Funeral' here 2025.

The Sounds of Soul Created by Lee Siegel is an amazing stage show packed with hits of a truly amazing time in music history. An immersive show you will enjoy. I highly recommend!

Nice, cozy little theatre. We've seen several Drayton productions there and they're always amazingly well done. My only caveat is not to buy front row tickets unless you're really tall as the stage is quite high up.

I’ve seen many, many performances here over the years and it is still my favourite venue to watch a show in. The theatre is the perfect size to feel like you’re a part of something really special and connected to the actors on stage. The stories chosen to be told are always something that gets conversations going and promotes sharing.

This is a very good theater. Well laid out, plenty of parking available. Drinks purchased on-site are allowed in the seating area. We normally select Loges seating. There are a variety of Drayton Entertainment productions. All are excellent. Looking forward to the 2026 Season.

Such a cute theatre. Perfect size that anywhere you sit you can see the stage well. Been here to watch a few shows now and I definitely recommend it.

Although the park isn’t very large, it has beautiful views and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. It’s a wonderful spot to unwind, especially after a run, and the surroundings make it feel refreshing despite its size.

I recently played two cricket matches at this ground, and it was a wonderful experience. The place feels so serene. Just walking around surrounded by trees, greenery, you would never expect in the heart of the city. It’s not only a great cricket ground but also a peaceful escape into nature.

A beautiful park all year round. Silver lake is beautiful and the boardwalk offers great views. Walking and bike paths,a playground and a splash pad,and lots of picnic tables and areas Events are often held in the park near the old band shell.

Superb Park for day picnic, walking exercise and time pass. There a cafeteria too to buy snacks when it open. Free parking for Maximum 3 hrs. The Park also holds one of the oldest Log(wooden) School house that was built in 1829 or so by Levi Carroll and maintained by the Local city as local heritage of North American History. Park full of trees, green grass & lot of playgrounds for kids! Worth visiting!!

I visited Waterloo Park in Ontario and found it to be a spacious, clean, and family-friendly destination. Spanning approximately 111 acres, the park offers a variety of amenities that cater to visitors of all ages. The park is well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant experience for all visitors. Its combination of natural beauty and recreational facilities makes it an ideal spot for relaxation and family fun.

ChatGPT said:Waterloo Park is a beautiful, lively green space right in the heart of the city — I’ve spent a few afternoons there, and it’s always enjoyable. The park has something for everyone: walking trails around Silver Lake, picnic areas, sports fields, and even a small zoo area with farm animals. It’s perfect for families, joggers, or just relaxing under the trees. The trails are well-maintained, and parking is free but can fill up fast on weekends. It’s clean, spacious, and has a friendly community vibe all year round.

We visited following the U of Waterloo commencement. It was quiet, had picnic tables, swings, a pond, a modern architecture building, and other attractions.

*A Natural Wonderland for All Ages Our recent hike at the gorge was an unforgettable experience! The stunning natural rock formations are a sight to behold, offering breathtaking views at every turn. The well-laid paths made the hike enjoyable and accessible, allowing us to fully take in the beauty of the area without difficulty. The gorge was just that! Gorgeous! What impressed me most was how incredibly clean the entire park was—it's clear that a lot of care and effort go into maintaining this natural gem. Despite the rugged landscape, Elora Gorge is very kid-friendly, which made it a perfect family adventure. Even with the steep drop-offs, we felt safe knowing that dangerous areas were carefully fenced off, ensuring everyone could enjoy the scenery without worry. If you're looking for a beautiful, well-maintained place to hike that’s suitable for all ages, I highly recommend visiting!

It was a short walk from the parking area to the hole in the rock stairs. The cedar tree roots growing around the large rock is magical. We were there on a weekday morning this week and had the place to ourselves. There is a forest trail to a stone lookout where you get a view of the limestone rockface. We were happy to follow a review that suggested going to Victoria Park in downtown Elora and taking the stairs down to the river for a close up view of the gorge. Be careful as the trail is really rough with steep rocky path. The combination of the two trails gives you the best experience.

*only reviewing tubing on the gorge* I went tubing with a few friends and really enjoyed myself! The tubing price was $54 plus the park entrance fee. For the price I likely wouldn't do this again. For the price I'd expect a tube collection service which there isn't. Also due to bridge construction we couldn't park at the finish line to drive back to the drop off so we had to walk 45mins. I don't mind walking but for the price I shouldn't have to walk with all the equipment. However all that said, I really found the gorge beautiful and the (small) rapids were fun! We all had a good time

There is an entry fees of $8 per person. There are three trails that you can go. They are not tough so can go with kids as well but not with stroller and all. You can enjoy tubing but tickets should be purchased in advance. There are multiple parking lots. You can enjoy a day out with your family but carry your own food and water as there no foods stalls inside that. I didn’t find Look out points much attractive, I think tubing would be fun and that is on my bucket list, will definitely try next time.

Elora Gorge Park is a protected area surrounding a deep gorge, and we visited for a walk through the picturesque landscape. We were amazed by the stunning natural beauty, clean environment, and excellent facilities. It seemed like we paid С$8.50 per person and spent the entire day here with friends and their dog.

Park entry fee: $8.00/person Cars were parked on the grass or anywhere they found the space. Tubing: registration $20/person Plan ahead, the line was long. If you rented the equipment elsewhere, you don’t have to wait in line but there’s no signs up indicating which wasted a lot of time. Once you get the band, follow the yellow steps to the launching area. The hike is steep and long. Once you get into the water, you are on your own, there aren’t life guards. The water flow was steady but other areas, fast. There is a area in between you can stop and dive off into the water. It’s not easy to navigate the where to go unless you paddle in some way(used my water shoes) It’s beautiful along the way, the scenery is beautiful, you will pass a waterfall! When you get to the end, it’s best to step off as it was harder when when you reach the chain. Now the walk back to return equipment (if rented on site) and to the parking is also long but through the trail so just follow the signs. Along the way, I saw many camp sites. Tips, Bring water shoes, rocks Bring water proof case for car keys/phones. I guarantee if not secured, you will lose it. Bring ropes if you want to stay linked to your friends Wear sun screen Wear life jacket Wear helmet

Oh wow, what agreat experience!! The gorge was beautiful and fun. We had such a great, hot and sunny day to end the summer. I highly recommend this floating trip and I'd go back!!

Waterfall was beautiful but having to pay $10 for parking, just to spend 15 minutes looking over the waterfall was a bit outrageous. We didn't try the hiking trail as we didn't have the time so I'm sure it's more worth it if you do the long trail as well.

Hiked a good 7 KM distance from Hoggs Falls to Eugenia and back. View deck available to watch and listen to the relaxing sound of the raging falls. Pay parking, portable toilets, and pavilion available for visitors.

Great for a picnic and short or long hike depending on if you'd like to walk to Hoggs falls as well. Easy terrain with some incline and decline so be sure to be ready to make the longer trek. Family friendly of all ages if you'd like just to see Eugenia Falls. Paid parking and staff attended entrance. Highly recommend

A great place to visit and experience a waterfall in a hidden valley that you'd never think to visit! There's a nice trail, and views of the waterfall are spectacular! NOTE: They only take debit/credit for some reason, and not cash when you pay for your parking.

Very large falls, nice view right near the parking lot. Trails are somewhat difficult to follow in certain spots. We didn't spend a lot of time here but has lots of interconnected trails to hike. Could likely spend a full day here. Was told there's a view from the bottom of the falls if you start at Hoggs falls and hike 4.5 hours.

This is one of my favorite waterfalls in Ontario. It's tall, and the hills of the Beaver Valley make it feel mythical, especially in the Autumn. The water runs fullest in the spring and then you'll find a thunderous torrent that gives off spray. Otherwise, it can be relatively sparse for water. Nonetheless, it's not to be missed!

Nice conservation area 2 hours from Toronto. The trail starts from the falls into the woods for about 3.5 km ending with a beautiful view from the high point of the forest. Looks amazing in fall. The trail does not make a loop, so you need to return the same path. Good sight of the falls at the start of the trail. I was a little disappointed as usually you get to the scenic point after having made effort on the trails. Well that's normally my incentive. But then at the end of the trail the sight was quite breathtaking so it all ended well. PS: The staff said the trail goes up to Tobermory, if one is feeling really enthusiastic ;)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our stay at Blue Mountain Resort and the Village Suites was absolutely delightful! The resort was pleasantly uncrowded, allowing us to unwind and enjoy our time. The weather was ideal, and there were plenty of exciting activities for all ages. We appreciated how well-organized everything was, from the scenic gondola ride to the mini golf and activity centre, buying the day pass was worth it as all the activities are covered under it. We had so much fun. The staff were warm and welcoming.

Blue Mountain... what can be said. The village alone is reason enough to go. I love just to wander the vaguly theme park-esq esthetic of it all, popping into various shops and pubs. It's like if Ikea were a real place; everone here is just so happy to be here. There's a whole bunch of outdoor activities, or you can get drunk. Those are your two options, BUT within those options, there is so much variety. Great in the winter for all the skiing and snowboarding. Fine in the other 3 seasons for golf and climbing a thing. Check it out.

🏔️ Iconic, beautiful, and blue sky's ahead. 🔵 The villege Square is beautiful and quaint. Felt so much like in a movie. The activities at fun yet still very safe. You'll hear screams... Of excitement. ⛰️ Majestic views of the hills and the nature. Beautiful walking trails and everyone was so friendly. 👨🏻‍🍳 The food here was so flavorful and mouthwatering. Beautiful on the inside, with friendly service and outside with how they decorated. 🅿️ We had no problem finding parking. However the place was difficult, but the ride was beautiful and majestic.

Our family had an amazing experience at Blue mountain on the weekend. The views were great. It was very busy with the Spartan race but that was fine, we went out for dinner and the restaurant seemed to be able to handle the amount of people there. There were lots of great activities to do, like the gondola ride, Agora light show, coaster and lots of window shopping And hiking around. The only downfall was that it was a little bit expensive but everything is expensive these days

We recently returned from a night away staying at the Snowbridge Resort. The only thing we enjoyed with our stay was the comfort of the bed. Otherwise, we found that the condo was very poorly maintained for the price you pay. Holes and gouges in the walls throughout and in the kitchen cabinetry. Both bathroom mirrors all had rotting frames (likely from moisture) but should be replaced. I wish this review would allow pictures to be added. Some light bulbs were burnt out and multiple lamps (bedside table and livingroom) were just unplugged. Crumbs were on the couch, hair and black mold in the bathtub, food crumbs still in the fridge. Very poor quality control. Someone set the alarm, so it woke us up at 5am. This wasn't a bedside clock but just purely an alarm for waking. We were given the incorrect wifi password. The battery went dead on our front door, so our key card wouldn't work and we were unable get into our unit at 7:30pm and had to wait outside for maintenance to show. When the maintenance guy finally showed up, he wasn't apologetic, seemed irritated, and made a comment to make us feel like we just didn't know how to get into the unit. In future, we would not return! We will instead book an AirBnB, as those home owners are way more on top of ensuring the place is well maintained.

It's my first time visiting Blue Mountain Village, and it was such a fun experience. We had the single day pass for the activities that I believe it allows us access pretty much every activity in the village. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. here's what we did : Ridge Runner mountain coaster 2times Wind Rider zip line Mill Pond water bicycle Gondola Cascade Putting Course Just love these activities even I'm not a sporty person, they were fun, accessible, and most of them are suitable for all ages. There're different trails as well, very nice place to spend time with friends and family. We did not stay in the hotels in the village, but FYI there's promotions on stay+play. And day pass will be cheaper if you purchase them 7 days ahead. And the village has shops and many restaurants, it's lively yet relaxing, perfect for a casual day out or short getaway, definitely worth visiting.

The Winter Play All Day package at Blue Mountain is a fun option if you’re not into snowboarding or skiing. It includes several activities like ice skating (which, oddly enough, requires you to drive up the mountain since it’s not accessible from the main area), the Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster — a cart-on-rails ride that lets you speed down the hill — a netted jungle gym-style play area, and tubing, which we ended up skipping since it didn’t seem worth the time. Admission was around $40–$60, if I remember correctly. The value is decent for what you get, but it’s not really a full-day experience. The ice skating took up most of our time mainly because of the drive and lack of a shuttle or lift to that area — it would be great if Blue Mountain added a more direct way to get there. Overall, it’s an okay package, especially for families or kids who aren’t into snow sports. It’s affordable enough for a half-day of fun, but not something I’d call a must-do.

First experience as we arrived was positive. The lady who greeted was nice. We had play all day passes. It was an easy start. I have to say though, it was quite unorganized after that. You’re not supposed to wear shoes into the change rooms but the hall where you leave shoes is very small and in the way for hallway traffic. There was no where to sit to take shoes off and for when you’re putting shoes back on. The family change room was clean. You have to pay $5 for a lock. I think the lockers should be updated to larger lockers and make them like the ski rental lockers, pay by debit. Pool was clean but very crowded. Otherwise, kids had a very positive experience.

One Star – Extremely Disappointing and Unsafe Experience. Visited on opening day expecting a clean and enjoyable experience, but it was anything but. The pools were visibly dirty right from the start, and both the deep-end pool and outdoor hot tub were closed with no explanation. You’d think these would be ready and in top condition for the first day of operation. The most disturbing part of the visit was discovering a dead rat in the pool while I was there with my 5-year-old child. We nearly stepped on it. It’s absolutely baffling how this wasn’t noticed and dealt with before opening. Staff casually removed it with a net while swimmers – including toddlers – were still in the pool. No one was asked to leave, and no visible steps were taken to disinfect the water. Completely unacceptable, both from a hygiene and safety standpoint. Definitely not worth the ticket price or the trip. Would not recommend and will not be returning.

It was a good experience. I took my 3 children with me. It was a good day. We did the all-day pass, and it was worth it. We brought a cooler with lunches and snacks. When my kids needed a break, we went back to the truck to eat and rest. I wish the other pool was open, but my kids enjoyed it anyway.

Don’t bother with the vending machines at Plunge. It will eat your $5,$10,$20 bills. Good luck getting your money back. Staff knows full well and won’t warn you. Save your cash and don’t use the vending machine. Staff should put up a sign. Shame.

The Plunge was overall a good experience for my toddlers and me. It was a bit crowded, but that was expected since it was midday and very hot. The water inside the building was cold, understandably, while the outdoor pool was warmer. However, the water wasn’t very clean, with noticeable tree particles and hair floating around. Despite that, my girls really enjoyed their time at the splash pad and the hot tub. It is quite pricey. When we arrived, there were no lockers available. The change rooms are small, and renting a locker costs $5.00. If you need a towel, it’s an additional $1.00. Children aged 3 and up are charged to use the pool, and there’s also a $10.00 fee just to be a spectator. On the board at front desk, they put that you can only stay for a maximum of 2 hours, but I am not sure how they are tracking people's stay. There are two lifeguards at the pool and an attendant at the slide, which was reassuring.

This was definitely a great pool to experience water fun after being in the sun. The pool had different temperatures inside and outside. The heated pool was large, hot and relaxing as well. There was more than plenty of seating for everyone during off peak hours. Only gripe is the main attraction "The Plunge" rope is restricted to the seperate deep end pool, which everyone must take a swim test to use, and children that must stay within arms reach require the parent to take it as well. Fair, but does suck for the smaller children that come specifically for that. Luckily, there is a kiddie playground(0-6) with a water slide on the inside, a dump bucket, and basketball nets beside a bigger slide on the outside.

We visited the mountain area during Us Thanksgiving took our to-year-old nephew here. It was quiet, not very many people. They have a little indoor pool that has a kids area to play in with a small slide and they have a medium size slide outside. That's the kids still can go out with you and they have a plunge pool that you have to swim. Show them you can swim to go in it. It is deep so you can swing and a rope over pool and jump in. The water was warm enough. There was also a hot tub that was really warm thing. I say it's kind of expensive for what you're getting but the staff was very nice. It was very clean. Had a locker room. What you can change. You can rent towels if you need them. Bring them because they charge you for towel

Found this on a last minute whim and absolutely loved the area. The 8km walking trail was beautiful. Restrooms were clean, my dog loved his time here. We went on a Friday evening, it was quiet and peaceful. A hidden gem, I can’t wait to be back!

The scenic view is captivating and amazing to think we have not explore the whole area. it is spacious good for any outdoor activities for family, friends and team building event for companies. I quite surprise not to experience chasing after mosquitos here compare to the other places we visited. May I suggest to add a washroom to the other area too. we definitely visit again to explore the whole place.

We drove from Kitchener and it was worth it! We went on a Friday morning and reserved our admission online the day before. The price is cheap for two people ($13). Do the Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail, it's a must! You can park at lot 3 and the loop takes about 1.5-2hr to complete. There are so many scenic spots to stop and enjoy. The trail is really well maintained with various terrain and fairly flat throughout. The bridges over the water were our favourite. The park overall was well maintained and so were the washrooms! We then did the Kayak rental. It was quick and easy and the prices were reasonable! Although it was a further drive for us it was 100% worth it. It's a large lake, great trails and good rental options.

Island Lake is one of the parks part of the Credit Valley Conservation, where this park acts as a head water for the Credit River. The park has a number of trails, most of which are not very difficult along with various picnic areas and fishing spots. The most popular trail is the Vicki Barron Lakeside Trail, which covers the perimeter of Island Lake. It connects smaller islands within the lake by a series of wooden bridges and boardwalk style trails. The trail surface is about 1/3 boardwalk, which is easy to walk on and is wide enough for hikers and cyclists. Many of the viewpoints along the trail are also fishing spots as well. Generally, the trails are not very difficult and are very clearly marked with points of interest. The park also has plenty of picnic areas, with a larger area near the P2 and P3 parking lots. There are also spots to launch for any water activities such as canoes and kayaks. Overall, this park is good if looking for a picnic spot or for a simpler walking trail. On popular times, the wait time can be 30 mins or more, so it’s recommended to pay online in advance to help with getting in quicker.

Setting out for a two-hour hike was an absolute joy! Surrounded by vibrant greenery and blooming wildflowers, the trail was a sight to behold. Breathing in the crisp air and listening to the birdsong, we left the city noise behind and immersed ourselves in nature's symphony. Exploring the winding path, we discovered hidden gems around every corner, from babbling brooks to secluded clearings. As we made our way back, we felt invigorated and rejuvenated, our spirits lifted by the beauty of the outdoors. In summary, the two-hour hike was a fantastic escape, providing a much-needed dose of nature's wonders. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quick adventure!

An incredibly beautiful and serene conservation park with lots of scenic views. It has a few short trails and one long Vicki Barron Lakeside trail that goes around the lake. The trails are very well kept and marked for easily navigating around. The main trail is great for walking or cycling but if you want to complete the trail, cycling would be a better choice. There are a few benches along the trail where you can take a break in a relaxing environment and enjoy the beautiful views of the lake. Canoes and kayak rentals are also available in the park, and you can bring your own as well. The lake is also great to go for fishing, you can also have a picnic in the park and bring your own charcoal BBQ grill. There is an entrance fee of $6.5 per person to enter the park. Overall, a great place for a weekend outing.

This place is perfect for a variety of activities such as hiking, biking, and even more hiking. The stunning scenery provides an excellent backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. It's also an ideal spot for BBQs and picnics, offering ample space and a great environment to relax and enjoy nature. Whether you're looking for adventure or a peaceful retreat, this location caters to all, making it a versatile and enjoyable destination.

A hidden gem of wild beauty! Chatlehem Badlands is absolutely breathtaking — a surreal landscape that feels like stepping onto another planet. The colorful rock formations, sculpted by wind and time, glow beautifully at sunrise and sunset. It’s a photographer’s dream and a hiker’s paradise, with plenty of spots to explore and reflect in quiet solitude. The trails are well-marked, and even though the terrain looks rugged, it’s surprisingly accessible for most visitors. Bring plenty of water, good shoes, and your sense of wonder — this place will reward you tenfold. If you’re looking for something unique, peaceful, and truly awe-inspiring, the Chatlehem Badlands are a must-see! 🌄

Nice Evening Spot Decent experience overall. The boardwalk view area is short (about 60m) and the trail from parking is around 700m. We went on a sunny day, so the red color wasn’t too visible, but it looked great after sunset. Best time to visit would be in fall on a slightly cloudy day. Walking on the badlands isn’t allowed. Parking reservation is mandatory, but it’s free for cyclists and pedestrians. If you’re not much into photography, the whole visit takes about 45–50 minutes unless you explore the Bruce Trail. A good place to spend a calm 1–2 hours in the evening.

The Cheltenham Badlands is a stunning natural wonder with its striking red rolling hills and unique landscape. The boardwalk makes it easy to explore while protecting the fragile terrain. It’s a great spot for photography, especially during sunrise or sunset when the colors are most vibrant. The area is well-maintained with clear signage and nearby parking. Overall, it’s a fascinating and peaceful place to visit for nature lovers and anyone interested in Canada’s geological beauty...

Beautiful fall spot for families! I Visited Cheltenham Badlands with my wife and 3-year-old daughter — we all loved it! The red hills are so unique, and the fall colors around the trees were absolutely stunning. It’s a short, easy walk on the boardwalk, great for kids and families. The views were incredible and perfect for photos. Highly recommend visiting in mid to late October. Book parking ahead and try to go early to avoid the crowds. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Interesting place, but I liked better a road to it - we visited it at the end of October an fall colours on escarpment were on pick this year. Site itself is pretty small an the trail is just 320 meters only. You need to reserve a parking in advance. There are mobile toilets on parking as well as a couple of picknick tables.

I visited Cheltenham Badlands on a crisp autumn afternoon and the fall colours were stunning — the rich red shale formations set against the golden and orange trees made for a spectacular scene. The site is open seasonally from May 9 to November 17 (dawn to dusk). Parking is reservation-only (you book online in advance) and each vehicle slot gives you a 90-minute visit by default. Fee structure (2025) is: Weekdays: ~$10 + HST for 90 minutes. Weekends/holidays: ~$20 + HST for 90 minutes. There are also 3-hour slots available for ~$18 on weekdays and ~$35 on weekends. When you arrive, stay on the boardwalk and designated trails — walking on the shale itself is prohibited so as to protect the fragile landscape. There are washrooms (portable/onsite) at the parking lot, and the main viewing point is accessible via a short trail and a 60 m boardwalk.

We were there on Saturday, and I wouldn’t recommend visiting on weekends - it’s way too crowded. Our friends went two days later, on Monday, and they almost had the place to themselves. There are two trails at the moment - the Badlands Trail (a short one) and the Bruce Trail. The view of the Badlands hills is only available from the Badlands Trail, so the other one is worth it only if you want to walk through the forest. We booked 1.5 hours, and it was more than enough to explore both trails. The view of the hills is truly stunning, especially in the fall.

Cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff. Cool place to visit no matter the season (although late spring early summer is much more comfortable to have a pint outside, than mid February 🥶). Will definitely be returning during warmer weather to see what seasonal brew is available. Elbows and glasses up 🍺🍺 Support your local Brewers and Businesses👍

Creemore Springs Brewery (Creemore, ON) Patio’s open, sun is out, and yes—every Creemore beer you spot in the wild is still brewed right here in town. We popped in for a little tasting (Premium Lager, Pilsner, and the Grapefruit Radler—all smooth, all refreshing). The entire brewery, shop, and patio setup stretches the length of a whole Creemore block—which somehow still feels big in this charming little town. Plenty of merch and cold beer to go if you’re stocking up. But really, this is a place to linger. Friendly folks, relaxed vibe, and a classic Ontario main street that knows how to slow things down. Creemore remains one of those small towns that gets everything just right.

2025 July 3.5★ In a small town, this brewery started by the May family originated as a hardware store. Burnt down, a change of business took place.

Plan your visit today!

Stopped in for a tasting. Normally we roll through without stopping. I never got enthusiast over Creemore's earliest offerings. The white stout was a pleasant surprise. Light blonde colour in the glass a full stout nose and a really mouthful, coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Pat simply called it desert.

Great place to sit down on the patio have a cold one and listen to some live music. Nice town. Delicious beer.

Great time. Nathan was awesome. Very friendly and informative. Everyone there was very accommodating

Beautiful venue for music lovers in Brampton downtown. Specially outdoor patio music. Their music hall is amazing with a capacity of around 800 people. Beautiful sound system and very cooperative and lovely staff.

The Rose Brampton is so beautiful! The bathrooms are so pretty! Us girls spend a lot of time washing our hands and chatting in them 😜 Inside the theater was beautiful as well! I had a great time! Thanks Rose!

Very nice seating. Parking was a breeze. The show was incredible. The audio techs did their best but there was a few misses, didn't ruin the show. Drink holders at the seat will not hold cans so be careful! Cash tips only at the bar so bring some change. Venue washrooms were immaculate, cleaned before and after intermission. Staff was pleasant and very helpful and patient guiding people to seats.

There is plenty of free parking underneath the theatre. The seats are comfortable, and the acoustics are excellent. We saw a great AC/DC tribute band this visit, and the previous time we saw the Queen musical, we will rock you

Awesome venue, mostly nice people. The reason why I gave the venue 2 stars, is literally because of staff lack of knowledge. When a friend of mine and myself approached the bar before entering the auditorium, we asked for a drink. I asked for vodka and my friend asked for rye, a particular brand, the young lady said "we have crown royal" I said crown royal is whiskey, not rye, she smiled turned to her boss and told her boss we had too much to drink, I was taken aback, because we literally had just come off the red carpet where I was speaking to an interviewer, my point is the staff should be better trained, and not get in their feelings when called out, I noticed later that she had the least amount of people ordering drinks from her, just please have properly trained staff to work the bar

Great sound system, amazing staff, technical staff were awesome at what they do. Great vibes of the theatre itself! Very well organized events here. Seat selection is tricky. Although hey have stage and seating map, it turned out way too off of the actual seat selections we had. Recommended place to attend events.

Saw Tom Morello. First class top-tier from the box office to seat-view to production quality. Everything excellent. Highly recommend. Will see other productions.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No proper sings up for pay parking. After writing me a ticket they said I’d still have to pay for parking to not get another ticket. They have so many law enforcers to write parking ticket and not a single person cleaning the broken glass all over the beach. I Picked up so many where my family was sitting. I hope the use the parking ticket money to clean up the beach to make it safer for families. Not coming here again.

Attended the Tribute Legends show and a bit of gambling. The show was very enjoyable and the theatre was sold out. The casino offers a good variety of plays however noticeable less winners from when in the hands of previous owners. The selection of artist appears to have changed, more country and comedians, neither of which are my choice. No matter where you sit viewing is acceptable, aided by the 2 large screens. I suggest if you have viewing issues, wait for all to be seated then move up to the center top rows.

Can be quiet on weekdays and bustling on weekends. Soft sand. Great for picture taking and long walks on the sand or boardwalk. Using this as a cover album for my dad’s YouTube video. 🔥 beautiful ❤️

The beach was kept nice and clean aside from the naturally occurring debris from nature, no trash or anything on the beaches. As for the washrooms part of the main beach, not the provincial side was under construction or renovation it was kept fairly clean.

Super fun and relaxing day, even considering the construction going on nearby. Water was clean and sand was raked. Unfortunately saw some diapers on the beach. Lots of washrooms available which makes me very happy as a girl haha. Not too busy either which also makes me happy

Wasaga Beach, one is undergoing major construction. However, the beach is open, and they do have a couple of stores near the West end of the beach that are open, as well as a rooftop patio. Food stands and trucks are located by the east end of the beach in the upper parking lot. ⛱️ 🍸 🍦 🌭 🍟

Beautiful beach to watch sunset. Kids friendly sandy beach and shallow water, safe to swim. Always love this place.

Probably the best mini golf spot I've ever been to! So creative

I really enjoyed the setup and gardens! Awesome photo opportunities! I took my family for a fun outing, and they loved it!

This mini putt was so much fun. Great design, amazing atmosphere, the perfect way to end a day at the beach. The staff were amazing and the facilities were great. I will be going back for sure. Especially since my son won a free game on the last hole.

We visited Skull Island on a cooler day this summer with our group of five adults, two kids under 8, and a baby, and we honestly had the best time! The course was fun, creative, and kept everyone entertained from start to finish. The kids loved the pirate theme, and even the adults got competitive and enjoyed every hole. The atmosphere is so family-friendly, and the staff were welcoming and helpful. It was such a great way to spend time together, and we’re already talking about going back next season. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a fun activity in Wasaga Beach!

Visited Skull on its last-but-one day of the season. It is one of the best mini-golf courses we've played. Lots of fun. Reasonable price. The whole place is in great shape; obviously the owners and staff care about the details. We'll be back next season!

The kids and I made this summer the summer we did all of the mini golf courses in Wasaga Beach. We rated them in 6 different categories out of 50 points. We love Skull Island… it’s forever been the place we go. The theme is so on point and we love shaved ice!!! Our only critiques would be the lack of seating for our teen with mobility issues and the garbage on the course sometimes this summer.

Great atmosphere & fun the whole family. I came here last week with a friend. The course is fun to look at, all the water, the greens were very clean and they even have little clipboards to hold your scorecard & pencil! Nice detail. However, the course was not challenging. All except 18 are par 3 but we did most of them in 1-2. This makes it great for kids and families but if you’re an experienced mini golf fan, don’t be surprised if breeze through all 18 holes.

A Great Day Out at Vaughan Mills I recently visited Vaughan Mills, and it was an experience worth sharing! This shopping center offers an impressive array of stores, catering to everything from fashion and beauty to electronics and lifestyle. Whether you're after high-end brands or great deals at outlet stores, there's something for everyone. What really stood out was the variety of dining options from quick bites to full meals, there’s no shortage of places to refuel between shopping. I also appreciated the spacious layout, which made navigating through the mall easy and enjoyable, even during busy hours. Beyond shopping and food, Vaughan Mills has entertainment and family-friendly attractions, making it more than just a retail destination. It’s truly a one-stop spot for a full day of shopping, eating, and exploring. If you're in the area and looking for a well-rounded shopping experience, Vaughan Mills is definitely worth a visit!

Large indoor outlet mall that is quite unique in design in comparison to other malls in the Toronto area. Some outlet stores will offer better discounts and clearance products in comparison to the same stores in other malls. It can be tough to find parking at busy times. They only have 4 J1772 chargers which is not sufficient for a mall of this size. Tesla owners also use them instead of superchargers - go figure.

Very good place to shope branded products at reduced prices. Well ranges of various products are there. I would say very best place with your family and spent whole day. A big food court is there to provide different types of cuisine with comfortable seating spaces.

This outlet mall is one of the best shopping destinations around. It’s a huge indoor mall with a wide variety of stores, from basic everyday brands to luxury names, offering something for everyone. The collections are updated and the outlet prices are definitely worth it, making shopping here a great value. Since it’s fully indoors, we can visit any time of the year without worrying about the weather, which is very convenient. We make it a point to visit at least once a month and always enjoy the experience. A must-visit mall for outlet shoppers!

Probably one of Not the biggest mall if ever been to. It’s so huge. But you can find everything there. We spend almost 5 hours in there and easily took 20000 steps. Good selection of everything. There could be more toilettes though. I don’t wanna walk 10min inside for a pee. Anyway, nice experience

It’s huge mall with a great mix of outlets, I really like the variety. Perfect spot for a full day of shopping and dining.

This is a great mall to visit! Thanks to variety of brands available along with great deals!!! It’s food court has good vibes except the fact that vegetarians like me, has limited options!

I have been going for a couple of years whether it be with family or friends and I always have a great time. This year was the first time I went in the fall — for Halloween haunt and let me tell you the vibes, decoration were way better. (Also fewer line ups) this year I went to the conjuring limited edition maze and I loved how interactive and fun it was. They did a great job. Do recommend

Cons: Overpriced and overrated. Parking is expensive, and food options inside are mostly unhealthy and way too costly for what you get. The overall experience doesn’t match the high ticket and food prices. Definitely not worth it for what’s offered; 1 out of 5. Pros: I visited Canada’s Wonderland this past summer and spent a full day enjoying both the rides and the water park. It was a hot day, so I started with Splash Works; the water area was lively but not overwhelming. There are several pools and slides for every age, and it’s a great place to cool off. The wave pool was a highlight, and there were plenty of shaded spots and chairs to relax between rides. After the water park, I explored the rest of the park and went on a few of the main roller coasters. The sight of the massive tracks and loops from a distance still makes the park feel impressive every time you visit. The atmosphere is energetic but family-friendly; with lots of music, food stands, and people having fun. I ended the day near the main fountain and mountain area, which looks especially beautiful in the sunlight. The water and landscaping give it a resort feel, and it’s a perfect spot to take photos before leaving. Overall, it was a great summer day; well organized, clean, and full of energy. If you plan ahead and arrive early, you can easily make the most of both the water park and the rides.

My husband and I went for the first time during Halloween Haunt on Halloween because we purchased a gold pass from a different amusement park. We got to try a Beaver Tail - Avalanche flavor and it was delicious! The level of detail that went into designing the Halloween Haunt was impressive. The decorations were awesome, there was specially named and unique food options, and there were different themed areas with actors dressed up in scary costumes. One area there were all zombies and another had clowns. The actors were clearly having a good time scaring people and it was sometimes entertaining to just watch them scare other parkgoers. It was also possible to bypass these areas if you didn't want to get scared. There was a freak show, a fire spinning show, and music performances throughout the night. We didn't opt to buy the extra pass to enter the haunted mazes - mainly because I'm not a fan. I rode a few coasters because there was no wait, but it was quite chilly. It was still exhilarating and a lot of fun. We will definitely be back when it is a bit warmer.

This place is fun, but a bit scary with the height of the rides. It is not for the doubtful patrons. Rides are going upside down over your head as you walk around in the park. Every one should try going to wonderland at least once in their lives. You don't have to buy a season pass, just a day pass will do the trick. However, if you are a lover of these Rides buy a seasonal pass. You can also add meal pass to the mix. It will work out very well the kids love to go to this amusement park 😀 there is everything for everyone from babies to adults. Sometimes you will be entertained with fireworks. Check it out! 🔥

Canada's Wonderland is probably one of the most famous Staples in Ontario to go visit, it's lots of fun. Great place to go spend time with the family. I have memories from this place from when I was a kid and now I bring my own kids, Roller coasters are always my favorite and they have some of the best roller coasters I've ever been on. While this place does get very busy and crowded I have yet to found a good day to go where it's not very crowded Prices are very expensive for tickets and if you don't want to wait in line then you have to pay an enormous amount of money in my book for speed passes and then if you want to ride the big roller coasters for the speed pass you have to pay even more money for on VIP speedpass, The water park has lines just as long as the rides. It is very crowded and busy there as well in the summer, Halloween haunt was lots of fun when I was a kid but after covid everything's changed and from what I hear now you have to pay and buy a special pass just to go into all the haunted houses now because the haunted houses were the favorite part of this event in my book. Although riding a roller coaster in the dark is pretty fun as well

Canada’s Wonderland is fun for kids, but the experience feels more like a money trap than a family park. The atmosphere is designed to highlight thrills and fun, but underneath it’s clear the priority is profit, not guests. Parking is $39.99, food and drinks are overpriced, and water access is limited to old fountains or dirty sinks. You can’t bring in much from outside, yet security checks are inconsistent—sometimes too strict, sometimes too lax, raising safety concerns. Customer service is lacking; staff rarely smiled or welcomed guests. Ride wait times stretch 1–2 hours unless you pay $179.99 per person for Fast Lane Plus, which doesn’t even include all rides despite the marketing. My kids had a great time, but they weren’t the ones paying. For what I spent in one day, I could have taken a family trip down south. The park succeeds at creating a “fun” image, but in reality, it’s a polished price-gouge. If you want true value and enjoyment, a small-town festival will give you more smiles, less stress, and far better bang for your buck.

We are absolutely thrilled with Wonderland! 🌟 This park is a true wonder for the whole family. We visited it with our kids about 15 times this year, and each visit was a unique adventure. The park is incredibly well-designed, with bright and colorful rides that bring so much joy and excitement to both children and adults. We especially loved the extreme roller coasters, which are packed with adrenaline, as well as the calmer, fun carousels perfect for the little ones. Every corner of the park is filled with a magical atmosphere — from the well-kept green pathways to the vibrant decorations and themed areas. Wonderland is a place where you can fully immerse yourself in magic, joy, and fun. There’s something for everyone here: whether it’s thrilling rides, beautiful photo spots, or just enjoying quality time together as a family. We will definitely keep coming back again and again! 🎢🎡✨

What a joyful experience! Legoland was full of color, creativity, and smiles at every turn. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was perfect for both kids and adults to feel like little adventurers again. Everything from the rides to the Lego builds was so well thought out. We made some beautiful memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend for families looking to spend a magical day together!

LEGOLAND Discovery Centre has been on our to-do list for a while now, and we finally visited it! We were not disappointed. First, we were surprised by how big it was, considering it’s part of the mall. Second, there were so many activities to choose from. The admission includes a laser shooting ride, a jump around ride, four rotating 4D short films, a large play structure with slides, and many Lego stations. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Our visit to LEGOLAND was absolutely fantastic! It’s a great place for kids and families to enjoy together. From the moment you enter, you're surrounded by vibrant colors, incredible LEGO creations, and a fun, creative atmosphere. The rides, building zones, and themed areas were all well-designed and super engaging for the kids. There’s something for everyone — from exciting rides to hands-on building stations and 4D movies. It’s not just entertaining but also sparks creativity and imagination, making it a perfect day out for LEGO fans of all ages. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable. Our kids are already asking when we can go back! It’s definitely worth the visit, especially if your child is into LEGO. The only downside is that the price is a bit high for a single visit, particularly for bigger families. It would be great if there were more affordable ticket options or passes. That said, the memories made there are priceless. If you’re considering going to LEGOLAND, we highly recommend it — it’s fun, creative, and perfect for a family day out. We’ll definitely be back!

I highly recommend visiting LegoLand in Canada. It takes around 3-4 hours, but it’s worth it. You can eat there, but I saw people bringing their own lunch boxes. They also offer Starbucks. I recommend buying your tickets in advance, as you can get one adult ticket and get one child free. We participated in the workshop, don’t miss it! Good luck! - we went a PA Day (Friday)

The ONLY reason NO LEGO store shall EVER get a full 5 star review from me... $400 for the Zelda set?!? Are you out of your minds!?! Do you hate children THAT much, Lego??? ...otherwise, nice place, nicer people. And hey, adults can go to the theme park side on Halloween this year if they choose, so... you do you.

We went on the Adult night and had a lot of fun. The murder mystery, silent auction and the fact you served beer was great! I even climbed throuh the indoor play centre 🤣. Movies, V.R. and lots and lots of lego to play around with. We had a really fun night!

Great for Kids! Can easily spend two to three hrs.. 4D cinemas is great and so some fun rides inside. Play area and coffee shop for little bites.

Amazing experience overall. Place is huge and well maintained. Staff are friendly and wearing traditional clothing dated back to 1800-1900 timeline. They have events to add cultural value and we were lucky enough to experience Spanish dance and Drumming performance. There is paved and unpaved parking however it has a fixed fee (approx 9$) We will surely visit this wonderful historical village again when whether settles a bit. Keep minimum two hours to enjoy every attraction. Presto card holders get a small discount.

I’ve always loved places that preserve history and make you feel connected to the past. Black Creek Village is one of those spots that does it beautifully. The staff, dressed in period costumes, really add to the authentic atmosphere. They’re patient, friendly, and genuinely eager to share their knowledge about the village’s history and daily life in the old days. It’s a perfect place for a one day visit, relaxing, and full of charm. If you enjoy historical sites and a glimpse into the past, I definitely recommend it.

The Village at Black Creek is a wonderful step back in time! The historic buildings, costumed interpreters, and hands-on activities make it feel like you’re truly experiencing 19th-century village life. Every corner has something interesting — from the working blacksmith shop and print shop to the schoolhouse and general store. We enjoyed strolling through the peaceful grounds, chatting with the interpreters who shared fascinating stories, and seeing the heritage gardens in bloom. The attention to detail in both the buildings and the demonstrations is outstanding. It’s educational, fun, and beautifully maintained — a perfect outing for families, history lovers, or anyone looking for a unique day trip.

Awesome place for having a fun day with family. A old but live village from 200 years ago right in the heart of Toronto. I was there twice and both times I enjoyed and learned a lot. People who worked there (I don’t know if they are stuff or volunteers) are nice, kind and knowledgeable. Give it a try and make lots of great memories.

I recently visited The Village at Black Creek and had such a great experience! The place is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and offers a perfect blend of community and comfort. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and everything from the landscaping to the amenities shows how much care goes into keeping the place in great shape. It truly feels like a warm and inviting community highly recommend checking it out!

This is a historical place worth seeing. I was surprised by the location . I’ve passed this street by car so many times and never knew about it! You’ll feel like you’ve gone back to the 1800s and get to experience life from those days for a couple of hours. The bakery was great. I got fresh bread made in the traditional way. Be prepared for a long walk!

This place is amazing great place to take the kids. There are many opportunities for learning about historical times. I really enjoyed this visit. I used a map to guide me on my visit, but you can also get guided visits. My group enjoyed the petting of the goats 😆 and watching the chickens. They also enjoyed the school house activities writing on slates. Memories.....back in the days 😆 I encourage you to take a visit. Oh, show your ticket at the reception and you get a discount.

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.

This is a very nice park for anyone to enjoy. We went for a long walk right on the waterfront and stopped to workout at the outdoor workout stations along the way. There are benches and washrooms available. Parking is easy and close to the walking path. From the park there are many coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. There was a large playground for children as well.

Nice beach front in Barrie city, every year during the civic holiday in August, they have the Kempenfest festival and it is such a nice weekend long event. Nice concerts, food, crafts and much more!

A wonderful and quiet place in the heart of the city with a variety of views and sports. Lush green lawn, basketball courts, a wide range of watersport activities, beautiful trails and lot more. If you are a peace loving person who likes to prefer quite place with nice views, you won't be disappointed either. Very well planned and maintained park

Beautiful park for all ages and various outdoor activities. Cost of parking is 10.00 per hour, the park is well maintained. Highly recommend for anyone passing through Barrie to stop by and visit this park, with or without kids.

Nice family place for picnic, playground along supervised beach and relaxing trail for walking and cycling 🚴‍♀️. however parking is too expensive 10$ per hour and up to 50$ !

Went for an early morning walk here. I haven't been for a while. Nice updates. Better parking (may need to pay). Nicer seating, especiallynear beach. Landscaped along shoreline. A real gem 😊

Amazing gateway to spend with the family. Lovely location and place. Highly recommend it anytime. Park on the sand on the front beach.

Great place to reflect on Canadian history and have a moment of reflection. Ron Baird's Spirit Catcher. He states that the inspiration for his sculpture stemmed from the oral traditions of the Anishinaabe. I photographed this sculpture using a Kodak Brownie Bullet. This camera was manufactured in the same year that numerous residential schools opened their doors. For example the "Amos Indian Residential School" (1955-1973) was essentially a concentration camp where thousands of innocent children were mercilessly abused at the hands of the Church. When I removed the film roll my finger slipped and the 127 spool loosened a lot. They allowed for massive light leaks and caused major damage before I secured it. The damage to the film stock is indicative of the damage done to the European and Anishinaabe relationship. Furthermore the light leaks appear as if they are erasing the sculpture much like Canada's efforts to erase Indigenous people.

I was very impressed with experiencing the Spirit Catcher. I received my new spirit from there. Barrie is an amazing place to visit. I love ❤️ it so much and will visit again with my family 👪 I visited today with Kumar & Mark 📌 Kumar is the owner of Soldier Gear and Mark 🚩 is the Barber at Soldier Gear also. Mark gave me a cut & shave and his work is worth $100 for the excellent job he did. Very impressed 😮 and now he is my Barber for Life. Great Job Soldier Gear ⚙️ Keep up the Excellent customer service experience.

There is nothing but one sculpture, for that will have to pay 10 dollars for just one hour parking. Does not worth it

The Spirit Catcher sculpture in Barrie, Ontario, is a striking symbol of the city's vibrant arts and culture scene. Designed by artist Ron Baird, this iconic structure stands tall at the waterfront, resembling a large bird with outstretched wings. Its dynamic form and gleaming steel construction make it a captivating focal point along the scenic shoreline of Kempenfelt Bay. The Spirit Catcher serves as a beacon of inspiration and creativity, inviting visitors to contemplate its beauty and significance. Whether admired from afar or explored up close, this beloved sculpture embodies the spirit of Barrie and is a must-see attraction for locals and tourists alike. Parking is available

The Spirit Catcher- the big sculpture is little on the hill. So view was great! And also a harbor was there. So can see many boats too. Parking lot fee is $1 a hour.

Beautiful boardwalk, so in love with it: excellent for family times, biking, long walking (I did 10 km back and forth). With the autumn, you don't even notice that you do the workout : it's so beautiful out there

Very big metal statue of a thunderbird called Spirit Catcher donated in 1986. Created by Artist Ron Baird. Looks rustic. Parking is available right beside the statue but it is not free. We came in the winter months and the path is not clear so you have to climb over snowbanks if you want to get closer to the plaques to read information about the art installation. It’s a good 5 min break or for a quick drive by as a point of interest if you happen to be in the area.

Excellent Staff & Well-Maintained Equipment Moonstone Ski Club is a fantastic place for both beginners and experienced skiers! The staff and trainers are incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, making sure everyone feels comfortable on the slopes. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to improve your skills, the instructors provide clear guidance and helpful tips. The equipment is well-maintained and high quality, ensuring a smooth and safe experience. The rental process is quick and efficient, and the staff is always available to help with any adjustments. Overall, the resort is well-organized, clean, and welcoming, making it a great destination for a fun day on the slopes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great service and an enjoyable skiing experience!

As a beginner I like the hills here. If you are going to use lifts, I advise to purchase the pass online, it will be cheaper. I enjoy the vibe. My only issue is there are few spots that you can have your own food, and there are not that much different vendors to get food from. In general I like there and recommend it. And as a general request, if you’re not skiing or boarding please stay away from hills.

Had an amazing time at this ski resort! It’s huge with tons of trails for all skill levels, and the facilities are top-notch. The views are stunning, and there’s something for everyone – from beginners to advanced skiers. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great ski experience! 🏂❄️

I recently visited Mount St. Louis Moonstone Snow Park, and I had an amazing experience! The slopes were well-maintained, and the park offered a great mix of terrain for both beginners and advanced riders. As someone still getting into snowboarding, I found the beginner-friendly areas perfect for practicing, while the more advanced slopes provided an exciting challenge. The lift system was efficient, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming for all skill levels. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced rider, I highly recommend this place! It's a fantastic spot for learning, improving, and having fun on the slopes. Would definitely go back!

If you live in Toronto or the GTA and don’t have time for a multi-day trip to a larger resort on a real mountain, this place is a great option for a quick skiing getaway. It’s close to the city, well-maintained, and perfect for a fun day out. The lifts are fast and well-kept, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the amenities are decent. Like most ski resorts in Ontario, it doesn’t offer the same experience as skiing on a real mountain, but for a local spot, it ranks among my top choices when I just want a convenient and enjoyable trip. As the name says, the resort has two peaks: Moonstone and Mount Saint Louis. The slopes are well-designed, making it easy to move between them and switch runs seamlessly. The resort’s website is user-friendly, so I highly recommend purchasing your tickets online in advance as it’s more affordable than buying them on-site. The only reason I’m not giving this place five stars is the lack of vertical drop. Since it’s not a real mountain, no matter which slope you take, you’ll reach the bottom fairly quickly. But for what it is, it’s a solid option for skiers looking for a nearby escape.

Amazing place! Main lift has heated seats👏👏👏. We had an amazing time. This was our second visit this season and we will be back again before snow melts away. Slopes are well maintained and staff are very friendly. Prices are reasonable.

Overall I had a good time with my family there. Their website and the way of purchasing lift tickets makes it a bit more difficult, especially when I was not able to purchase lift tickets online. But going there, the service representative was able to help me quickly. I think this is a nice place for your winter fun. I would like to see an Ice Skating Ring as well - hopefully in the future!

This is one of the best malls in Ontario. It is one of my favorite places to go. There are not too many people there and the space is big enough to, not feel uncomfortable. Free and not rushed.

Love visiting Upper Canada Mall! The washrooms are clean, and both floors are easy to get to via stairs, escalators, or elevator. The food courts are good with some halal options, and Toys “R” Us has a fun play area that my son absolutely loves. Great shopping experience overall!

I come here almost twice a week as seniors is incredibly empowering, not so crowded, friendly people and sales person. Everything you want to buy is there at a reasonable price, very clean, bus outside parking big free come and get it. Enjoy the Aircon on summertime.

A short visit to Upper Canada Mall is a major shopping destination in Ontario, offering a diverse mix of retail, dining, and entertainment options. Its convenient location and extensive amenities make it a popular choice for shoppers. Having an huge parking area for visitors.

Beautiful and elegant. Spacious for dinning and walk around

Was told by an employee I can get a refund. Went to the store and was told that I can only get credit. Explained to them that an employee gave me the wrong information. They refused to make an exception. Ask for the name of the store manager and was told that I can't have it. Referred me to concierge. I told them I can't get through for days now. They said they they respond within 24 hours.I told them I contacted them more than 24 hours ago.They told me they're backed up. One BS answer after another. How do these people stay in business?

Upper Canada Mall is a great place to shop. The mall is always very clean, well-organized, and has a wide variety of stores to choose from. Whether you’re shopping for clothing, electronics, home goods, or just want to grab a bite to eat, you’ll find everything here. It’s a comfortable and enjoyable place to spend time.

I love this park. You have it all. It has a beautiful trail along Holland River. Park is specious and you can picnic. It’s great for kids. Great for walking pets. It’s great to spend time with friends and family there. It’s also beside Main Street in Newmarket so you have access to all amazing coffee shops, restaurants and stores. There always some kind of an event happening there during summer. This park has it all. Picnic area, trails, playground, river, restaurants, coffee shops and more

Its a very beautiful park. Just next to downtown. The trees, tracks everything is super nice. Cyclist track is also there. Autumn season colors are the best here.

2022 October 4★ Fairly lake park runs along the river and as such, has multiple bridge crossings. The park is part of the Tom Taylor Trail which runs about 7 or 8 kilometres North to South. Within the park, you'll come across gazebos, benches and Kilometre Trail Markers. There's markers use natural elements, art is inspired by the environment and the native Ojibwe ancestors. 10 trail markers in total will enhance your experience and help track your journey along our trail system. Free Parking within the park or along the side streets. A playground nearby.

It was early December and it was overcast. It was not busy on a weekday Friday. Went along the east side of the lake, continued after the first bridge, to the boardwalk. Crossed the second bridge, then came back from the west side of the lake. The loop was pretty short and easy.

Also known as Wesley Brooks Conservation Area is a great place for everyone. However, need to be careful of the cyclists as a lot of them are just going way too fast even though the paths are so supposed to be shared with everyone. Yet I had to pull my kids over many times because they don't even slow down or stop even for little kids. Some don't even give warnings that they are coming. Still the kids enjoyed the boardwalk and the playground.

A big lake park with so much greenery and biking space. You get to see Canada goose and their poop ( be careful not to stamp on) all around you. Fortunately we saw the Beaver hanging around the pool that connects the two sides of the park. Play zone is quite beautiful.

Beautifully manicured and a trail big enough for walking, biking and other summer activities. There is a lot of wild life around and tree coverage. It's a beautiful spot to walk - dog friendly as well!

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.
