I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Ricky and Bradley for the powerful and meaningful experience our students and chaperoning adults had at the museum. Ricky and Bradley’s enthusiasm and depth of knowledge—combined with their warmth and ability to engage students at their developmental stage—were truly exceptional. The way the material was presented was not only thought-provoking but also forward-looking, fostering both connection and compassion. The Buxton Museum and Historical Site, along with its dedicated staff, is truly a gem of Southwestern Ontario and was a highlight of the year for the London Waldorf students.

Spent two days here for the annual “Homecoming.” This place aka The Elgin Settlement, was the largest & most successful of the black settlements born out of the influx of freedom seekers who came to Canada on the Underground Railroad. It is rare to find intact buildings from this era. The schoolhouse, church & museum are the legacy of this amazing community. We had a wonderful time at Homecoming & will return.

The tour guides are so very knowledgeable of the history the black slaves who settled in Canada. It was good to hear the stories be told in hopes for it to never repeat itself wver again. It would be wise if the school boards partnered with the Buxton National museum to educate our future generation the same way they do with educating youths about the holocaust of the Jewish people.

I don't have any family in these areas but they get togethers that they do have are great and events are amazing highly recommended.

This was the annual observance of Black History month with the highlight "100 year anniversary of the underground railway". I took part in a drum circle (community). There were classic cars, a baseball tournament featuring the local "best of the best". There could have been more food vendors. The classic cars should have been displayed further away from the food. Diesel & food do not mix.

You will learn more in one visit here than you will in all of elementary & high school. Fascinating and terrifying all in one. Truly amazing that within a year all the white families wanted their children to receive the best education at the black school thus forcing the all white school to close. I highly recommend this tour.

I didn't get to go inside because it was already closed for the evening, but when I visited at dusk, it is was a perfect evening dusk in a beautiful rural setting. There are lots of historical markers and interpretive exhibits outside so I get a sense of what the settlement was like. An important location in the history of settlement of settlers from the Underground Railroad. Worth a visit.

We had an amazing time at Rondeau Provincial Park! This hidden gem offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and recreational activities. The long, sandy beaches along Lake Erie are pristine and perfect for swimming, paddling, and relaxing. We loved exploring the park's diverse habitats, including the scenic marshes and old-growth forests. The trails were well-maintained and provided excellent opportunities for hiking and birdwatching. The park's facilities were clean and well-organized, making our stay comfortable. **Suggestions for improvement:** - Please check the water temperature of the showers as it was too hot during our visit. - Consider offering rentals for kayaks and canoes to enhance the park's recreational offerings. Highly recommend visiting Rondeau for a peaceful and enjoyable outdoor experience!

Went there for camping in August . Approximately 3 hrs away from toronto . Has the most beautiful sunset scenery that you can experience. If you are into long trails with no hills to climb this is your place . clean showers and washroom facilities inside the camp site . Has a little corner store with gigantic ice creams , do me a favour just get 1 scope if you are going with the waffle ice cream cones. There is a bar nearby slightly over priced but great food .

Loved it, took bicycles and towed a bike trailer with small children. Roads were easy and well marked. Map provided at the gate was handy and easy to use. We finished at one of the many covered picnic spots near the sandy beach. Bathroom outhouses were clean and well stocked. A handy foot washing tap at the parking area ensured we didn't bring home half the beach sand on our feet. Definitely returning!!

I only live an hour away and this was my first time camping at Rondeau Provincial Park. This is an awesome park! The beach is so long it seems endless. Lots of hiking and biking trails. Bring your binoculars and birding book. So much to see and enjoy. Already planning another trip.

We spent the past week at Rondeau. Best spring camping experience ever. This park is amazing. Trails are great for both hiking and bicycle riding. The heritage cottages along the waters edge were very interesting. Also need to note, there was certainly no shortage of washroom facilities. A very well planned provincial park.

Rondeau Provincial Park is a beautiful destination known for its diverse ecosystems, sandy beaches, and excellent birdwatching opportunities. The park offers various recreational activities like hiking, camping, fishing, and swimming. Visitors appreciate its serene atmosphere and natural surroundings, making it a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Tulip trail is 1.6 km long and has multiple boardwalks. Park has 11 kms of sandy beach that can be accessed through park’s access points. Campsites are nice, and located close to each other. Not so private. Get super noisy. Rondeau Bay is also great for surfing. Park store and visitor centre is also great. Highly recommended if you want to spend time on the beach.

Forest bathing at it’s best with lush, green trails & forests surrounded by the Great Lake Erie with miles of sandy beaches to rest, rejuvenate & enjoy! Park has 10 km of winding tree-lined roadways to the beaches, hiking /cycling trails and cabins/cottages. The Provincial park setting is within residential homes & cottages which only adds another flavour of forests & lake views! Park store is remarkably large with supplies, clothing, gifts & an added bonus of fast food/ice cream counter with outdoor picnic areas for your enjoyment. Exciting Visitor’s Centre with wildlife, fish & even home made teepee, kid friendly and age appropriate activities to match. The quaint shop is lovely with various gifts, souvenirs & clothing. A lot of fun packed in this provincial park which makes it that ideal day trip getaway or camper’s weekend away! Well worth the drive for a beach day or camping adventure!!! Ample parking & also dog of note a designated beach in addition to a dedicated boat launch area! Enjoy!🏖️🏃‍♀️⛵️

The Thames Art Gallery is the only venue in Chatham-Kent dedicated to bring top quality national and international art to the community. Usually artists attend openings of their exhibitions and often conduct workshops during their shows. The Gallery offers a wide range of activities and tours for children and adults. This is also a venue for lectures and community meetings.

Really enjoyed walking through this well-maintained gallery. There was even an exhibit of local high school art which was very fun. Helpful staff and a donation entrance fee.

Peaceful walk through middle of the day. Lovely modern space. Loads of inspiring talent around.

They always have lots of interesting pieces from a variety of artists and mediums.

Helpful, friendly staff. And art by local and Canadian artists.

Very good parts and quick delivery

Wow such talent

Went there on Sunday, crowded and they had run out of some food choices and only had 2 Reuben sandwiches left. We ordered them because we heard they were great. WOW were they ever tasty. Friendly staff. Don't let outside of building fool ya. Fun place recommended!

Came for the butter tart festival but had lunch in the brewery after. Cold beers and delicious food. Place was packed but the staff seemed to handle it well.

We stopped in here based on a recommendation from a friend. They were correct! It was a nice day so we sat on the outside deck under one of the umbrellas. We ordered lunch and sampled some beverages. The flight we very cool. Loved the logos on the glasses! The ordering process was to place it at the bar, and they deliver it out to your table. That worked well. The food came out hot and as ordered. The food was very good! We loved the fries. The portion sizes were large. There was enough food for another meal. They have a pretty large out door area in the back for concerts. There was enough parking, but I could see if they had an event it would be a challenge. We will be back!

It was a very nice place to experience! The place is open, airy, clean and they serve a nice menu! The Menu I is unique,the food was good the service lacked a bit! You must order your drinks and food at the bar and they bring the meals to your table! We were there early dinner and there were a few customers! The server, bartender was friendly enough however very low key! Not overly talkative almost seemed shy or awkward! This is clearly not his career choice!

We love trying different breweries on our road trips, and Sons of Kent Brewing has stood out as one of our favourites. I have never been a big sour beer drinker, but the Orange Creamsicle Sour was so good we even bought a 6 pack on our way out. Another honourable mention was the Juice Box IPA and my partner loved the Berry White! The fries were delicious, I bet the other food is too. The people working there were really friendly. There's lots of seating, the outside looked really great too. I can't wait to come back.

Incredible beer, delectable food, and super cool atmosphere. Really incredible brewing recipes (multiple award winning staples), with seriously well thought seasonal releases will have you coming back for more. Something for all types of beer lovers from lighter side of the spectrum ranging to the juicier and darker brews. Staff are super nice and really helpful in picking your beer selections if its your first time, and treat you with lots of warmth. Food has only improved over time, their smash burger and Ruben sandwich are great but they also put together a mean charcuterie. Part of every local event, the brewery also hosts lovely events throughout the year including concerts, markets and trivia.

Great beer, friendly and attentive staff, fast service and tasty meal. I will highly recommend to anyone including families with kids.

A step back into the late 1800's in local history. Well curated and the staff was very informative/ friendly. Highly recommend a visit. Lots of historical artifacts.

Great tour by nice young lady in period dress. House was built in 1800's on Erie St., Ridgetown. Very informative. The 3rd. weekend of August is the " Veranda Tour ". Well worth going.

Heritage 1874 home authentically restored and furnished. Open daily from 1.00pm to 5.00pm from first day of spring to first day of autumn and in December.

It's the perfect example of a small town museum which perfectly captures Victorian era Ontario. The museum also offers community and educational programs.

Love it. Great place to learn about our past.!

Great place.

Great place

Our server was so nice. He was courteous and willing to help. It was great. The chicken parmesan was delicious but one thing I wonder about...I had it for lunch another day and tonight dinner and they were the exact same size but this always almost 10 dollars more. Last time we were told that the dinner portion was supposed to be larger. It is not.Why do they charge so mivh more for the exact same size?

Mamma Maria's did not disappoint! We arrived only 30 mins before they were closing and I was a little worried about whether the kitchen would still be taking orders but they absolutely did and boy did they deliver. Food was fantastic! Hot. Fresh. Damn delicious. Our server was lovely. Gosh I wish I'd made note of her name. Warm, friendly and very helpful with recommendations of both food and wine. Would happily dine here again and recommend to others. For a fabulous meal downtown Chatham, this is a gem you must experience.

This is one of my favourite places! The food is excellent, service is Great! The complimentary dessert for our special occasion was a beautiful touch!! Thank You Momma Maria’s for a wonderful Dinner !

I love it when awesome food meets awesome people! We came for lunch today and it was definitely a 5 star experience! Theo you Michael for such a great experience!

My wife and I were in Chatham and decided to for lunch. I love veal sandwiches and opted to go to the place that claims to have the best in town. After getting the $22 sandwich my immediate thought was; if this was the best in town maybe it’s the only one in town. Absolutely horrible; very expensive considering you could barely make out that it had veal in it until you peeled back one side of the bun to bear a mere sliver of veal; what a joke. You want to charge $22 and can’t even bother to put enough meat on it so that the patron actually sees what they are eating. You would think the intent was to sell a quality Sandwhich but I’m thinking now they are just selling buns that are slightly dressed up. Very disappointing experience. I did learn though that not only is it not “the best” it pretty much the worst veal sandwich I’ve ever had, and I’ve had many. Did I mention that it was $77 for lunch?

We absolutely love Mama Maria's! This place makes unbelievable food that feels steeped in authenticity and is rich in flavor. Their menu is fantastic, but their specials are not be slept on. The staff are also exceptionally aware of dietary restrictions and can accommodate without compromise. Their GF pizzas (which we routinely get for my Celiac wife) are amongst the best pizza (GF or otherwise) I have had in my life. Date night, or family visiting, this has become a must-visit place for us.

Great food and atmosphere. Went before going to a concert at the kiwanis. The waiter was great, kept asking how we were on time, didn't want us to be rushed.

Celebrated my birthday here, was impressed with the service, hospitality, quality of food and friendliness of the staff. The decor and atmosphere made you feel good. The restaurant was clean, washrooms spotless, an overall 5 star experience.

A wonderful restaurant for an evening out with friends! This was our first time here, but we'll definitely be back. Authentic, delicious Portuguese food, presented beautifully. A good selection on the menu, and if you want wine, this is the place! A huge selection. The service was excellent, and it was a great community atmosphere the night we were there.

Stopped in for lunch here on our way to Windsor and fell in love with the place. The interior and exterior design are beautiful. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the house salad and bbq chicken power bowl and both were incredibly fresh and delicious! Claudia was our server - so sweet and attentive. This is a hidden gem I thoroughly look forward coming back to!

We popped here for a late lunch/dinner. Just as we got into the city. Our waitresss, who was so lovely. Claudia! She shared some of her personal memories here. And we loved that. Felt refreshing. The food was amazing. Got the soup of the day. My mom got the chicken and I got the seafood pasta. Mine was so much. I was not expecting that. And the complimentary bread that came at the beginning. With the butter and oil. Yummmm. I recommend sitting in the bigger space of the restaurant. I loved the art. And the back patio. Even though we didn't sit there. I enjoyed a walk-thru of the restaurant.

Absolutely incredible experience and food! Would highly recommend and can't wait to return!

First time there yesterday, had salad and Cornish hen it was absolutely delicious. Great food, great service. Definitely will go back

Best place. Food is outstanding. Service is top notch.

This place has such a cool vibe. Great range of items in the menu, and I was hearing from people that "everything is good," so I had to check it out. Went for lunch, had a bowl of butter chicken soup (the special), and cobb salad. This was not a typical diner style cobb salad. it was a boutique style cobb. The soup had lots of chicken and tons of flavor. Service was very good and atmosphere was super cozy and cute.

I had dinner here on December 3, as I was staying at the Retro Suites Hotel. Megan my server was fantastic, very helpful with meal suggestions and attentive service. I had the grilled chicken Cesar Salad, it was very tasty. 😋

Love this place! This is a great spot to come for a date night, business meeting, or dining out with a picky eater. Their menu is so big & has so many amazing options that anyone can eat here & it’s done right!! This is definitely one of our favourite date night spots I highly recommend the spinach dip! I dream about their spinach dip. It’s hands down the best I’ve ever had. It’s cheesy, garlicky & the crispy pitas are an absolute game changer. I have no idea what they are putting on those pitas but they are unbelievable. Their pasta dishes are all very good as well with good portions. It can get pricey here especially if you’re ordering drinks so if you’re looking to experience this place & stay within a budget I’d recommend coming on Thursdays for their date night menu! Two can dine for $59 & it gets you an app, two entrées & a dessert! That way you can still try a bit of everything.

Had a wonderful experience. From the servers to the quality of food... It was spot on. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you very much! We will definitely be back.

This place was very trendy, great retro decor to compliment the attached hotel. The food was reasonably priced and presented well, but nobody was wowed by their meal. Good experience overall.

All the food choices would have been delicious, but I finally had to settle on 1! Mykonos did not disappoint. Our server was delightful and present when we needed her, great atmosphere, clean restaurant and bathrooms! I will be coming back.

The food and atmosphere were lovely. We had the breakfast club, yes please french toast and cork Benny.

Came to Quo Vadis for lunch today and everything was amazing. May have gotten lucky on this but we were seated right away. They have a good menu with some unique and interesting options as well as the classics. For the portion size you get the price is really good I paid $15 for a personal size pizza that was bigger then I was expecting so I brought home leftovers. The restaurant was clean and staff were very friendly. Overall I would highly recommend.

had quo vadis pizzeria for the first time best pizza joint out there especially when it comes to sixteen slices of pizza inside there box the cook did a great job on the pizza tonight for dinner crust was da best well cooked and food would give it a 4, and overall I, would recommend this place to others and that too. when comes to dinner and etc for takeout as well. thank's again quo vadis pizzeria for the best dinner tonight and the cook did a great job an that as well to on the pizzas they were so delicious tonight quo vadis pizzeria for the best, and wonderful food bless with the service and customers that cook for dinner.

First time trying their appetizers. I’ve heard great things about the mozzarella sticks and spinach dip specifically. Decided to try mozzarella sticks, garlic bread, and the Greek dip trio. I always try to like mozzarella sticks and just always hate them. These were the best I’ve ever had and SO good! Garlic bread on ciabatta was exactly as it should be and done well. The dips were absolutely outstanding! I don’t know if they’re made in house or not, and I don’t care. It seemed like we did wait an awkward amount of time for someone to come over, seeing as we were the only table in the restaurant at the time, but after that our service was great! Also, the price was unbeatable. The apps were on special for half price and the pint of beer was $5.

Get the mozzarella sticks! Now that we have that out of the way, I don’t think I’ve had a bad meal from here before. I’ve had many of their specialty pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, appetizers & they have always exceeded my expectations! They have great portion sizes. Amazing customer service & very delicious drink options that are so reasonably priced as well! I went for apps last night with a bunch of friends. The spinach dip was great & served with these delicious pitas. The portion was huge. One of the few places you don’t need to order extra pitas with. Next up is the Greek trio. Also served with the same delicious pitas & three dips! The spicy feta and roasted red pepper dips were the best for sure! Then of course mozzarella sticks! I think pretty well everyone ordered these & loved every last one of them! Can’t recommend this place enough!

We stopped to eat here on our way to Toronto and its probably one of the best restaurants in the area! Parking is available on site. No reservation required. The restaurant is charming, the food was very good and the waiters friendly- nice atmosphere in general inside the restaurant. Great location for kids, easy to access for anyone, suitable for bigger groups too.

Restaurant was very clean and our server was lovely. We told her we were in a rush and she took it seriously! 5 minutes after sitting we had our apps and drinks. 5 more minutes and we were eating our pizzas. I got the fig and pig and it was incredible. The flavor combo was amazing. Husband loved his too. Can't wait to come back and try more items!

I love their greek chicken salad. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. The workers are always smiling and friendly. Highly recommend for date night or any night for that matter.

I had such a wonderful dining experience here. This restaurant is a true gem for Indian cuisine. The flavors were bold and authentic, and the portions were generous. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, taking time to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied. It’s rare to find a restaurant that balances both quality food and excellent service so well.

I eat Indian food quite often, in both Ontario and BC - Spice and Curry stands out as my favourite! The food is truly delicious, the portions are generous (especially the meat) and the welcome is always warm. I go out of my way to visit and I love introducing it to new people. They have a wide variety of options and spice levels to suit all tastes.

If you're in the mood for classic Indian comfort food, spice and Curry is a solid choice. The restaurant offers a variety of traditional dishes with generous portions and authentic flavors. The service is impeccable. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to offer recommendations based on your preferences. You can tell they take pride in the food they serve, and their passion for the cuisine shines through in every interaction.

Was my 3rd time here after visiting Ontario. Took my family out and it was, as always the most delicious food in town. The servers were extremely sweet and fast! Would definitely recommend going here!!!

The staff were very friendly. I dnt remember the lady name but she was very friendly and its a nice place. Ordered Palak panner, naans and Biryani. Quality and quantity of food was excellent. They dnt had French fries on the menu, but still they made for us when my daughter had asked for it. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Amazing dinner! Delicious food, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant, and enjoy the food with family and friends

Loved going to this restaurant when I visited Chatham— they have a wonderful selection & all the food is so fresh! Would come back again.
