Official museum of the Royal Canadian Air Force, containing numerous historic aircraft.
Slide 1 of 8
We recently visited the National Air Force Museum of Canada and what an incredible experience it was! From the moment we stepped in, we were transported into the fascinating world of aviation history. The highlight was definitely the aircraft operating simulator — such an exciting and interactive way to understand how these majestic machines work! Our toddler was beyond thrilled — his eyes lit up with every aircraft he saw. He wanted to jump into every cockpit and become a “pilot” right then and there! The museum is very family-friendly, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and happy to answer questions, making our experience even better. It was truly beautiful to see and learn about the evolution of historical aircraft, their stories, and the brave souls who flew them. A perfect blend of education, nostalgia, and wonder. Highly recommended for families, aviation enthusiasts, or anyone who wants to experience a little bit of Canada’s airborne legacy.
Good calm place, no crowd. Fair price, a lot of interesting stuff there. Worth to spend 10 min from the 401 and 1-1,5 hours inside when travelling between Toronto and Montreal/Ottawa. Don't miss it!
Great museum! Went on a Tuesday afternoon in August with my son and we both really enjoyed it. Majority of the planes are outside, so might want to avoid the hottest days, unlike us, but there’s lots to see and do inside as well. There are several planes inside and 3 or 4 that you can actually sit in. It was $12 for an adult and kids under 3 are free. Pretty decent gift shop as well. Also, since the museum is right next to the base you might see some interesting sights. We saw a large military plane, a helicopter and 10-12 soldiers practicing parachuting.
This is a great museum showcasing the history of aviation and technology with an expected emphasis on the RCAF's role and contributions. There are many full-size models, interactive displays and videos that help set all of this out. There is also a large outdoor area to view various aircrafts with commemorative headstones of many people who served in the RCAF. The gift shop is nice, and the staff are knowledgeable and interested in answering your questions. Admission prices are reasonable and parking is free.
Must visit for those into planes or RCAF. Huge exhibit curated with love and care. My pics don't do justice. We spent some three hours there, but didn't cover everything.
I visited with my father this past weekend and it was great. A lot of history of the Canadian Airforce as well as numerous planes and displays to see. I’ll be bringing my child here the next time I’m passing through Trenton.
We went to this museum as a family, and it was so much fun! There was definitely a lot to see and learn. Plus, they have a huge park outside with dozens of planes – it's really cool.
Highly recommend this museum, they have a Halifax Bomber in display, its the predecessor to the Lancaster, worth the visit, Cory was a great passionate tour guide and helped explain the various parts of the Museum

Was perfect! 10$ dollars a ticket including taxes is amazing. 39$ for 3 beers and a large bag of popcorn with free refills and a box of chocolates. Very affordable for a family to go. The screen quality was great and the sound may not be blasting you off your seat but it was good quality still.
The staff was very friendly and kind, you get free drink refills and price for going to see a movie is reasonable.
It brought back good memories of days LONG gone. I lived in Trenton during the 60s. Both my brother and one of my sisters worked there. I have memories of Saturday matinees with double feature Disney movies. It's great to see the theater is still alive and active.
Staff are amazing! Super friendly every time I've been in, and so lovely to have a local theatre to support! Great prices, nice environment, would highly recommend!!
We took our grandson today to see Bad Guys2. We all enjoyed ourselves. Popcorn was tasty and staff is wonderful, and so respectful to seniors and children. Happy we have this clean, friendly theatre in Trenton. 1
Been here yesterday and today with the grandchildren, can definitely tell the staff here are amazing. They actually enjoy their jobs. Will be coming back again without them sometime soon. The prices are exceptional low compared to the big cinemas.
It’s so great to see this place open again. I first saw a movie here over 25 years ago and have so many childhood memories here. The new staff and owner are doing an amazing job bringing it back to life! Keep up the great work.
I've always loved this theatre's. Prices are good, service was friendly. But ...update the theatre's...theatre's to the left( small theatre..was #2)...the stuff needs to come off the walls ...ypu can still smell stale smoke from 1985.

Cool place to wander around while charging you EV. There were a bunch of food trucks the day we went. Fun!!
This is a big park so plan where you want to park. Park as close to the lake as possible so you can enjoy the Summer Pop Ups (especially Banana Splitz ice cream. Thank you for treating our two beagles to a frozen treat) and have a great walk.
Finally a park with a waterfront trial, and also various other amenities like food, shops, lots of green space, pavilion, playground, soccer field and more! I am so happy I found this park. Took my baby and dog for a stroll and had lunch on a bench. Wasn’t busy at all, but it was Thursday around noon. We will be back :)
This park has three separate playgrounds, and it is spacious and clean. The children love it. There are plenty of picnic facilities, making it convenient for outings. The downside is that the trash cans are always overflowing. I can tolerate bird droppings, but the areas around the trash cans and picnic tables need better maintenance.
It was great as per usual. However, too many people smoking cigarettes and weed around all the kids... just did not feel as clean or healthy as it should have being that it is a family park
Great park. Two structures to choose from, plus a splash pad. 2 minute walk to water-front pop-ups in the summer. Skate park nearby.
Picked a bit of a gray and rainy day to come, but even still, it was a great place for a walk. The veiw of the bay as we walked the trail was great, and the park and skatepark were decent. Enjoyed the trip and look forward to coming again on a less wet day!
Centennial Park is a quiet and beautiful park, that is enjoyed by so many people everyday. You can take a nice long walk on the paved path that follows our great lake Ontario. You can enjoy all the wildlife such as geese, ducks, rabbit, groundhogs and of course in the spring, all the adorable baby animals that follow in tow. You get to meet new people living in our small city as you cross paths and stop to chat as you pets each others dogs because Centennial park is an incredible place to walk your dog with all the sites, sounds and of course smells for your furry friend to enjoy. During the week nights the park is filled with childen playing their soccer games and their families on the sidelines cheering. The baseball diamonds are also filled children in uniform and their coaches. The moms and dads sit on the edge of the bleechers as its the top of the seventh and the cheers couldn't be louder. If your looking for a great place to spend you day, come enjoy Centennial park with all it has to offer. The best part is that its FREE and nothing this pleasant is ever free.

Expert guides tell the story of Jameson in a recreated distillery scene with tastings and dining.
Slide 1 of 8
It was incredible experience. Our tour guide was amazing. First you get free welcome drink - you have 3 options from Jameson (Jameson with lime and ginger is amazing). Then you go to first room, it’s about history of Jameson. Second room is about how to make Jameson and on third you learn about differences, how to smell and taste different Jamesons. With this guide, it was really amazing and I could stay longer than 45 minutes.
My wife and I took this tour on a Monday morning a few hours before our flight home and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very animated and obviously loved his job! Great tour through history all the way to current time. Definitely recommend this tour for any whiskey aficionados or anyone with just a taste for Jameson.
I paid about $26 for the Jameson Distillery tour and it was worth every penny. They start with a really cool 3D projector story about the history and how Jameson is made, then you move into a tasting room where you try four different Jamesons and learn how to properly smell and taste whiskey. It truly feels like a world-class experience. The premium ones were noticeably smoother (whiskey by itself definitely grows hair on your chest 😂), but it was fun, informative, and delicious. After the tasting, you get a drink included — they already have a bar set up with several cocktail options, and if you want another drink afterward you can buy more. The tour guide was incredible — funny, knowledgeable, and made it feel like he actually believed every part of the history. It was so good I found myself thinking, “Do y’all hire? I could work here too.” The staff overall was extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll even hold your bags if you’re coming straight from the airport like I was. There’s merchandise at the end if you want to shop, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun from start to finish. I would 100% come back and I’d tell anyone visiting Dublin to add this to their trip.
What an unforgettable experience at the Jameson Distillery! We opted for the Secret Whiskey Package and savored every moment. The tour was a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and fun, with fascinating insights into the company’s founder and the art of whiskey making. The highlight? Learning the skills of whiskey tasting, followed by a truly delicious sampling experience. Despite the bustling crowd of fellow travelers, the staff made us feel so special and welcome. We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!
Had a fantastic tasting tour on my second visit to this iconic Irish distillery. The guide’s deep knowledge and entertaining presentation made the experience memorable. It’s no wonder Jameson remains one of the world’s top selling whiskeys. Highly recommended!
Exactly everything you'd expect from a distillery tour. Great tour guide, samples of the whisky, and the best ambiance. All the employees were stellar and very nice to chat with. You can also purchase exclusive bottles you can't get anywhere else in the world.
This is one of the best distillery tour I’ve ever done! I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was really informative and had a great demote of knowledge about the history of Jameson’s. I’m not usually a Whiskey drinker but after trying a Jamesons, Ginger Ale and Lime in the bar I am converted.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jamison Distillery. I went with my husband and my daughter. It was very informative and quite interesting. There were several experiences during the tour. We tasted whiskeys that we hadn't tried before. Our new favorite one is Black Barrel. We've bought a bottle now that we're back home and have shared it with a neighbor. He is now a fan! I recommend going on this tour. It's fun, educational, and it even has a cute little shop inside.

This place is very well priced, a wide range of products and everything catches your eye!! Will definitely recommend to everyone. Had a wonderful experience! Quite a big store too!!
Fairly large inside lots of different vendors a lot of antiques to bring back the great old memory
All the same stuff as many of the other local antique shops, but the prices and service are much better!
So much to see, this place is packed with everything you love and the prices are very reasonable, loved it😎
Very friendly with great finds and prices to match. Certainly a must see in the area.
Neat little shop with good selection. Worth you time to check it out.
I like the trinkets and finds you can get here, but they come with a price!

Great little lookout with extremely pretty views! Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area. Will visit again. Area is pretty clean, and the lookout seems safe. Parking is difficult to find though !
Great little hike up hill/stairs. Not a long one by any means but well worth it. Get a whole 360 view of the surrounding area. Great spot for watching sunrises & sunsets.
It’s a great place to hike and enjoy the view of Quinte west from top . perfect spot to enjoy sunset. We did a community clean up at the Park to make it more welcoming and fun. Please don’t leave any garbage in the park
Amazing view especially in the fall with leaves changing colours! Park at bottom for an easy walk upto platform. Limited parking is available towards the top as well.
The views from there were worth trying to get there. For anyone who can't do stairs I wouldn't suggest it. It was an especially nice day the day we went. We could see for miles.
There’s nothing in this city that you can roam around but The view you will get from the top is eye-catching. Must visit this place for just a view. It’s really amazing.
I love living near this park, it's great for a nature walk or stair climbing to get to the very top! In the winter kids have fun sledding down the huge hill and making snowmen in the fields.
A bit of climb up a lot of stairs but worth it to see a 360° breathtaking view of Quinte West.... Best time to go is in the fall when the trees are changing colours ..

We stopped in on our way from southwestern Ontario to Kingston. We had a lengthy chat with Nate, the owner/Brewmaster and had a fantastic time. Small selection of beers on tap when we visited (four) but they were all amazing! Highlights were Antithesis (NE Session IPA) and Truth Cardinal (Red Lager). Highly recommended! 🙌
First time at this brewery and I loved it.. the whole brewery has a Card type ambiance.. plenty of room to sit and chill plus on warmer days there is outdoor patio.. And the owner is so welcoming.. I highly recommend this place if you're craving some beer.. oh.. and they offer flights..🍻
I had been to the original location of Wild Card Brewing Company and I must say the new location is much more suited to it. The vibe here is casual and quirky and if you have an adventurous palate and are looking for a new craft beer to try, this is the place for you. They have some amazing sours and they even deliver. Make sure you check these guys out as they are phenomenal local craft beer!
I visited during a quieter time of the day. I enjoyed a couple of the beer they had available. The individual working was very friendly and welcoming. I would visit again for a quick refreshing beer!
Great visit to this New location for us being from Kingston. We met Nico once we arrived and gave us a great outline of the different beers he had to offer. Girls had flights of beers while I had a couple pints. Very large patio and the weather was quite nice. Took a few cans to go and very nice visit indeed. Thanks again. Frank & Sandi & Brittany.
Totally worth the drive! One of the best I have had so far! Notoriously juicy! Definitely will be back! The guys working there so nice and patent.
Beers are solid! These guys were awesome. Looking forward to the next time we come this way as we will refill our fridge again.
These guys are so nice and helpful and their beer is amazing! Highly recommend if you like craft beer! Their Cardinal Truth is one of my favorites along with their Fidelity series of IPAs. Amazing quality!
