Brockville, Ontario skyline: the 20 most iconic buildings and best views in Brockville

Really beautiful museum and gardens! The staff were very kind and knowledgeable. A great place for a visit if you haven’t been yet.

An absolutely amazing mansion, preserved as if the owners had just stepped out for a while. Our guide told us the fascinating story of George Fulford and the Pink Pills which paved the way to international fortune.

Beautiful place rich with history. Every single thing in there is art, even the ceilings. That’s amazing. Cassie is also amazing! She has a lot of knowledge about the space and made visiting Fulford Place lively and enjoyable :)

We had our wedding ceremony on the beautiful balcony of Fulford Place for 70 guests, and it was absolutely perfect! The backdrop of the St. Lawrence River and the stunning building created a breathtaking setting. The gardens provided perfect spots for our wedding photos. The staff and volunteers were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. From the beginning, the communication of expectations and guidance was clear and professional. They accommodated our guests' needs and assisted with setting up and tearing down tables and chairs. Thank you to everyone at Fulford Place for helping our ceremony become the most perfect moment of our lives. We highly recommend this venue for any special occasion!

Nice House! Possibility for guided tour or self-guided tour with tablet. Very well maintened and lot of history.

Travel from Montreal....What a nice guided tour...very interesting and not expensive at all. I usually don't care that much to visit museum like that ... but this time I really enjoy it. It was around an hour tour and it pass fast. The man doing the tour was dynamic and interesting to listen to. I recommend this guided tour.

Arrived shortly after opening on a Sunday but didn't know about the guided tours that start on the hour, so we did the self-guided option and it took a good hour to explore the place at a leisurely pace. The house itself is beautifully maintained and a feast for the eyes. The garden, perhaps because we were visiting in the dog days of summer and because I had higher expectations of Olmsted landscape architecture, was looking a little wilted but still pretty enough. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Brockville!

Great place to visit.... huge source of information about Brockville- fee of entry is by donation. Very organized and clean facility- if you read everything it should take about an hour and a half to get through the two levels of the museum....highly recommend especially if it is your first time in Brockville as it was for us

Not a huge museum but well designed, very informative on the history and people of Brockville. We learned a lot and liked it.

July 2022 update Really nice and well located museum. No admission but donations welcomed. There are two sections to the museum. One side is the famous people or residents from the region and their stories. While the other side is a large room with artifacts on main and paintings on second floor. I suggest start with the people and social section first so that you will have a better understanding of the layout of the artifacts areas and it’s paintings.

Great way to see and learn about Brockville.

Great little museum. Staff was super friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. Continued to be helpful throughout the visit. Lots of great information and historical artefacts packed into one causing a little place. Recommend for a couple hour visit for sure! Neat little gem!

Although it does not have a ton of exhibits, it was a small, quaint, and pleasant museum worthy of a visit. Without exception, the person that welcomed us was second to none -- super friendly (and later offered tourist advice). An asset to the museum. No cost to visit (but donations accepted, which I would encourage). Washroom facilities on site and plenty of nearby (and very reasonable) parking. I would say maybe 60 minutes would give you enough time to take in all the exhibits. It was a happy experience visiting this museum and would recommend, and so close to Hardy Park and the waterfront for a stroll.

Great little museum with lots of interesting exhibits. Lots of interesting activities offered throughout the year for all age groups.

Very nice place for kids. Very interactive and lots of things to see for everyone. I personally love the otters and the beaver! There is also a free ropes course within the building. If you have little kids, an adult should be with them since they can't attach themselves by themselves. Make sure you aren't afraid of heights! The planetarium was also great and interesting for older age groups.

Nice place! But honestly, it’s a bit overrated. Sure, it’s not bad, and probably fun if your kids are under 5, but the price still feels quite high, especially for an adult ticket. On the bright side, the otters were super cute and active, and the beaver was really entertaining! Though I have to say, I felt a bit sorry for the beaver — its enclosure seemed cramped, with just a small pen and a tiny one-metre-by-one-metre pool. So yes, there are things to see, but I’d say it’s more of a one-time visit… or best if you’re five:)

This place is awesome!! I visited this weekend with my 4 children 15 to 6. They all had a blast. I myself was amazed and learned so many things. I love the hands on experience touching the stars and the shells and learning about them. There are games as well and presentations, a pirate ship, cord climbing etc. In the main entrance, there are multiple games for the children and a souvenir shop. Aquariums were fantastic with a wide variety of fish, shells, separate ones for otters, a beaver, turtles, a snake etc. Entrance was about 26$ per adult and 21$ for children 3 - 15 years old. Paid parking available underground or outdoor parking. Washrooms were clean. Staff was great and super patient and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this place! Definitely worth the visit!!

The Aquatarium at Tall Ships Landing offers a unique waterfront experience, nestled within a condo complex. While the admission fee of $26.25 for adults and $21.20 for children (3-17) is on the pricier side, a full-day pass allows for return visits, making the otter feeding a highly recommended way to maximize value. Younger visitors will find plenty to engage them, from a large ship climber and interactive water power displays to well-maintained aquariums showcasing local marine life and a supervised touch tank. Although the beaver feeding was a bit sleepy, the highlight for many, including myself, is the captivating river otter exhibit, featuring three to four playful residents. The gift shop offers standard souvenirs. Staff are notably friendly. While a pleasant visit, it didn't quite reach the heights of Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. Several restaurants are conveniently located nearby.

Awesome aquarium and more! It's fishes aren't numerous but they have many other fun and interactive activities. From watching the beaver do tricks and eat to watching the Otters playing and get fed. There's an indoor suspended wood obstacle course, slide in a ship, target launchers, make a weather broadcast with costumes ans so much more! If you like drawing and technology, color in a robot and see it come to life on a big screen. You can touch some sea creatures, like star fish, sea slugs, crab, etc. A fun place for all ages!

It was so great, I almost want to gatekeep this little adventure spot! Visited with 4 and 1.5 year old kids. We went for the otters, and also loved the interactive water tables, Port of Johnstown exhibit, touch tank, animated sandbox, aquariums, and amazing staff. Before we'd even left, we were talking about getting membership to visit on repeat! Looking forward to visiting when the kids are older too so that they can enjoy the ropes course, green screen newsroom etc.

Super cool aquarium. Come through this town twice annually, wish I knew about it sooner. Otters were excited when people walked up to their enclosure, which was also very large and well made. Definitely worth a visit if you like fish and animals.

1000 Islands & Seaway Cruises offers a beautifully scenic, reliable, and enjoyable cruising experience right from Brockville’s waterfront. The views along the St. Lawrence River are stunning, showcasing charming islands, historic homes, and peaceful natural surroundings. The cruises are well-organized, the staff is friendly, and the boats are clean and comfortable. It’s a perfect outing for families, couples, or anyone looking to unwind and take in the beauty of the region. Whether you’re a local or visiting, this cruise is a must-do in Brockville.

Canada’s smallest national park, spanning just 24.4 km², yet packed with natural beauty. Composed of 21 islands and smaller islets, plus mainland sites around Mallorytown Landing, Jones Creek, and Landon Bay.Great for boating, hiking, camping, and scenic picnics.  Day site seeing and cruise ride is must Highly recommended

we went on this tour and it began in the middle of a storm surrounding us which was beautiful to photograph. We got to see a big ship go by and experience how strong the waves from these ships are and how well the captain of the boat handled the waves. We loved this adventure. I understand the need for using a recording to explain the tour, it was relaxing and enjoyable. we had a nervous person with us who requested a lifejacket, and they happily provided one.

First time visiting Brockville, the cruise was super fun and well organized. We got to see all the Islands for a good 1.5 hrs. Views were spectacular, don't miss out of this if you're visiting!

Did a ninety minute cruise around the Islands. Very enjoyable with a great insight into how the other half live in their waterfront mansions. The distinctive architecture and personality of each house along the Seaway is worth a look. Surprisingly, there's more marine life to be seen than we'd expected. The boat we used Sea Fox 2, is rather old and cramped and the narration of the tour is pre-recorded and bilingual, so not attention-grabbing. The staff are nice.

Really nice relaxing Boat cruise had a nice glass of wine while we sailed up the Saint Laurence seaway. It was the 90 minute boat cruise.+++++++++++

I visited Brockville. It was so nice . seaway cruise was also good. Inside seats was not good. I enjoyed.

A peaceful small town around 1000 islands. It has lot of history. You can walk around historic downtown, waterfront.

Such a beautiful town. We're there on a Monday. Most shops were closed but the ones there were open, were warm and welcoming. I will definitely be back for some good shopping

Beautiful historic city. Many historical buildings. Very, very beautiful. There is also a beautiful yacht marina.

We really enjoyed walking downtown in Brockville, the historic buildings, the parc, the walking trail, the marina, and the good and many restaurants.

A building...inanimate...but, speaks. Speaks about history, community, unity! Impressed!

It is always a small town where you should stop if you are going to Toronto from Montreal, very picturesque.

Very nice place to spend a day by the water and seeing the shops and beautiful flowers and parks and the railway tunnel it was spectacular will definitely go back 😉😍

Absolutely stunning and incredibly impressive! A truly beautiful experience

Nice park for a picnic or break along the St. Lawrence River. Perfect spot for watching boats and tall ships. Easy access and plenty of amenities like bathrooms, parking and restaurants.

its a nice view, even in the rain

Nice walk; marina on one side and the St. Lawrence River on the other. Some giant Adirondack chairs for fun and relaxation!

Loved the place, very calm and nice spot to sit and relax with friends and family

Very relaxing park with a beautiful view to the St. Lawrence river

Beautiful walkpath along the water nice place to watch the sunset

Amazing early 20th century military architecture, currently undergoing extensive renovations that will feature as new home for the Brockville Rifles Regiment Museum.

Nice old building with cannons and antiaircraft guns on display on the grounds. Used as a training facility for Army Reserves and for groups like cadets.

Beautiful space and welcoming people. True honour to witness the pure love and comradery towards one of their own, especially during such a difficult yet amazing service for Cpl Sean Parker.

Love these armouries lots of history and well taken care of. Respect

Lots of history to appreciate.

Great historical building

Love it.

It's getting better now that they cleaned out all the homeless crackheads. If they would stop supplying snacks and food they wouldn't come at all. If you were staying away due to the homeless hanging out they have done a really good job of removing them. They even have the bathrooms on a secured lock system. You have to be buzzed in. Shame it comes to this but ...

It use to be great coming here but I've noticed the last few years they seem to push there LGBTQ agenda onto people by inviting drag queens to read to young children as young as 4. I get kids like to dress up, but let kids be kids. It's good they have a pride group for teens, I would like to see them extend more to programs in the local high schools and in the community in general. I applaud them for destigmatizing the homeless and vulnerable sector but if there's a way not to have kids exposed to addicts shooting drugs in the bathrooms or just that kind of heavy stuff to witness. I worry about what our youth are exposed to having been through stuff myself and I also don't feel that we need to billboard sexuality and drag queens. They have done really great to renovate the bottom level it feels brighter and looks bigger. The fact you can renew books for up to 9 weeks is AWESOME. I am proud for them for involving the disabled community by creating workshops, programs, and making things to rent out like bicycles and fishing rods accessible to them as well as the other members of the public.

Friendly staff, excellent selection of books, movies audio books and movies as well as video games. I was particularly interested in the craft room with sewing machines, I look forward to participating in the different crafts

Nice and good selections of books. Finally found a meditation section after looking at a lot of libraries in Ontario!

Good selection of books and free charging dock station for your phone on first floor

I wanted to say that I loved this place but I absolutely can not. At first it was lovely. A person assisting another with how to use technology and her computer. But then it very quickly switched to a hang out spot for 9-13 people to convene in and swap goods after visiting the food bank, figure out where they are going next, warm up take a nap and wash up. Very distracting and not at all like libraries I have frequented in the past. I did ask the staff if it was always this crazy and they said that unfortunately it is.

Decent library with the essentials but not much else. I came here twice when I didn't have wifi and a few other times - but they were closed. A nice small library that is good for a study spot or a small meeting. I deducted a Star as the place is quite small and dated looking.

The staff at Brockville Veterinary Hospital l are absolutely fabulous. We brought our 13 year old dog into the Stewart St. clinic for an exam on some very scary lumps, the staff and Doctors were very reassuring and treated us with respect. We came up with a solution and put our minds to rest. I would highly recommend the Brockville Animal hospital.

My anxious rescue Dacshund actually prefers this location to ANY we've been too in all of his 11 years! Great staff who work hard and are very passionate about the animals 🩷

The attention we received regarding concerns of how to proceed with the veterinarian services our puppy needed was very professional. The head veterinarian cared a lot! Which is priceless to us...

Great staff and very welcoming cat ambassador.

The best! The entire staff genuinely cares about pets and do everything possible to keep them healthy and happy.

Very friendly, professional, and skilled staff. Very understanding and have great knowledge of the animals they care for.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Been there since they opened and our puppy loves the staff.

buses regularly don't show up when scheduled, arrived at a bus stop 5 minutes early and had to wait an hour and a half cause it never showed up. I rely on the transit system to get to appointments, and as a poor disabled person who can't really walk, shame on you.

Taxes are too high and you get nothing. No response from council members. You are allowed one bag of garbage. Then you have to put grass clippings in the regular trash. A drug dealer lives in the neighbourhood. No response from bylaw complaints that I submitted. Good bye and good riddance I am moving out.

Beautifully restored clock tower of the Brockville City Hall 2021.

Littla rétro Erea. Im just passing but its nice to see that there is alot of culture

ENTRAPMENT!!!! Update your 1950 parking meters! Nobody carries cash (especially change) anymore! entrapment.

We live on Meighen Crescent the Number is 9. Since March 19 , 2015 we have had a large amount of Water settle on the sidewalk in front of our home. After each rainfall the amount of water takes longer to subside. We have had Plumbers here three times for sewar backup which we have paid for and now I would like the city to return calls. this sidewalk requires maintenance so water does not sit for days in front of our Home. I have left messages but As of Yet have not heard from the Party responsible to fix this Problem. Sincerely Gail Woods

Nice city
