Such an amazing place. The quality of the exhibits is usually amazing. I enjoy that the curator has a modern, somewhat-conceptual lean. It's a great place for a coffee after you check out the gallery, or just as a break from the downtown area.

My family and few friends were on our way to north of Barrie, we have stopped here for a quick break. Very convenient. The park is very big. It has a children park free car park Wash room picnic tables and more. Place to walk around

The Barrie Spirit Catcher is an iconic and mesmerizing landmark along Kempenfelt Bay. Its towering metal wings are not only a stunning piece of art but also a symbol of the city’s Indigenous heritage and vibrant spirit. A must-see spot for anyone visiting Barrie—especially at sunrise or sunset, when it stands beautifully against the sky.🍂

Great place to get craft beer! The place is colourful and their beers are as colourful! They host a free tour on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) at 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm, & 4 pm. Max of 8 people, first come, first served. We did that and it was good! It last for approx 45-1hr, and they talk about the history of flying monkeys and how to make a beer! We came back late at night to check the vibe and they have live performances. Staff are friendly, they have gender neutral washrooms.

Beautiful park, right on the lake with lots of seating, picnic tables, playground, paved walkway, boardwalk, outdoor gym, washrooms, boat launch, water fountains, bicycle and pedal boat rental.

Initially, we were surprised at the $15 entry fee but were told that it included the pumpkin picking and a few other activities. There was a magical act for the kids and yes, adults can enjoy it also! We had fun feeding the animals (animal feed was $2). We then went pumpkin picking. A lot of large pumpkins were picked over but I did get a cute small one. We then got a tractor ride back to the main area. I then visited the gift shop. Overall it was a fun day at the farm!

Campbell’s British Tearoom has the most delicious sausage rolls I’ve tasted in a very long time! Their puff pastry is fluffy and soft. The sausages inside were juicy and flavourful. I have tried both pork and beef, and they didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend trying them out when you get a chance to visit Barrie Farmers market!

Staff and added performers were amazing. Great night.

I absolutely love it! It’s massive and a true “lung” in the middle of Barrie’s South-end. Some areas might be a bit tricky, but it’s totally worth it.

I've brought my son here a few times. He absolutely loves it. A mix of arcade games (that give it tickets to "buy" cheap goodies with) and a jungle gym. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.

This was our first time visiting. Discovered this place last year but finally had a chance to visit. The overall atmosphere from start to finish was phenomenal and our server Erica made the experience even more phenomenal. The food tasted amazing and both my husband and I were sad when we got to the last slice of our pie. We wanted it to last forever. I cannot recommend this place enough. You will not regret coming here to eat. We will be back for sure. Came all the way from Brampton and will be making the drive again. Well done to staff and overall environment.

This was an experience to remember. I grew up in Barrie and felt like I’d been to almost every restaurant here, but somehow I hadn’t been to Il Buco, even though I’d planned to go for the last four years. Finally, I got the chance to visit with a friend a few days ago, and it was incredible. It didn’t just feel like dining—it felt like an experience. The atmosphere and design were beautiful, unique, and a perfect blend of classy and cozy. The service was efficient and friendly. As for the meal, it was $45 for a three-course dinner. While there were hardly any vegetarian options, I wasn’t disappointed at all by the limited choices because each course was absolutely delicious. The daily special was a chunky vegetable soup. I’ll confidently say that, even though I didn’t have high expectations for it, it was the best soup I’ve ever had (a grand but honest proclamation). It was aromatic and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness, and felt both Michelin-star-worthy and homemade—like a warm hug in a bowl. For the second course, the only vegetarian option was risotto. The staff were friendly and kind, offering to accommodate my vegetarian preferences by preparing a different pasta dish not listed on the menu. However, I decided to stick with the risotto since it was already on the menu, and I didn’t want to cause extra effort for them, especially on what seemed like a busy night. The creamy mushroom risotto turned out to be incredibly filling, comforting, and rich—it also tasted like a hug. While the first two courses perfectly balanced the comforting feel of homemade food with high-end restaurant quality, the dessert took a slightly more playful turn. The third course, a mixed-berry cheesecake, was a cute and delightful way to end the meal. Although it was my least favorite of the three courses, it was still delicious nonetheless. I understand that the $45 three-course meal might seem a bit pricey, and I completely understand any hesitation. But if you have the opportunity to go, I highly recommend it. It was such an incredible experience that I felt compelled to leave this review (which I rarely do, despite dining out often). (Side note: I believe that on other days, when the mandatory three-course menu isn’t in place, you can order single dishes from their regular menu.) Thank you, Il Buco. ♥️

Maddie provided outstanding service at the salad bar! She was knowledgeable about the ingredients and helped me craft the perfect salad. Her friendly demeanor and attention to detail made for a pleasant experience. Maddie went above and beyond, making sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely return thanks to her great service!

Stalked is a great local place for a great breakfast or lunch. The staff are friendly and professional and always there to top up your coffee. They are a very popular place especially on the weekends and both times we have gone we have had to wait, but the food is delicious and certainly worth it. They offer the usual fare specializing in pancakes and stuffed crepes. Their sandwich selection is diverse and they make a great burger.

Very cute cafe by the lake. Maps will take you on the wrong side. The entrance is on mulcaster st. Very friendly staff and great selection of coffee and baked goods. We had espresso and hot chocolate - both amazing. The almond danish was also fantastic. Hoping to swing by in summer... Their patio looked very nice

Had an amazing time at Kensington Burger Bar! The vibe was chill, the service was quick, and the burgers? Absolutely next level. Juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right. Definitely a must visit spot if you’re craving a solid burger and good times. Kensington Burger Bar never disappoints. The service was great and everyone was super friendly and made the experience even better. The vibe was just right for a chill hangout. Can’t wait to come back!

My fiancé and I brought our dog here and dined in for the 1st time on Sat. July 5th, 2025 after discovering that the Farmhouse is dog friendly (patio only). I called about 30 mins. prior to our arrival and was politely advised by the Hostess that we were unable to book a reservation since the outdoor patio area is a first-come first-served basis (which was totally fine). When we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff and seated promptly at around 6:30 pm. Our female server was also so sweet and brought a bowl of water for our dog right away. We ended up ordering the cheesy crab and lobster dip and bruschetta for our appetizers and I was genuinely impressed that they used real fresh crab and lobster for the dip. The crab and lobster did NOT taste frozen, rubbery or watery whatsoever and the tomatoes and herbs from the bruschetta were also fragrant and a delight to eat. For our mains, my fiancé ordered the 'Randy Bo Bandy Burger' and I ordered the '8 oz Beer & Bacon Glazed Pork Loin.' I loved the glaze and the subtle taste of beer from my pork loin. The only reason why I'm giving 4 out 5 stars for food was because my pork loin was dry. Other than that, we still loved and enjoyed our meals. Pricing seemed fair to us and the hospitality/service and overall ambience were noticeably efficient, friendly, clean, and inviting. 😊

Brunch heaven in Barrie?? YES PLEASE! 11/10 experience at Dunlop Street Diner — I’m still dreaming about that Off-The-Hook eggs & smoked salmon dish… poached to perfection, silky hollandaise, and the smoky salmon just took it to another level!! Chef's kiss. 🤌🏼🤌🏼 Came here for brunch with friends and it totally hit the spot. Atmosphere? Cozy meets cool, with a spacious layout and prime downtown location. Expect a bit of a wait (yup, it’s that popular), but trust me — it’s 100% worth it! Now, let’s talk about FRANKY — our server and honestly the brunch MVP! Hands-down the best service I’ve ever had anywhere. He’s got it all: super knowledgeable, lightning quick, funny, sharp, stylish… and okay, yeah, easy on the eyes too! Can’t wait for my next Barrie trip, because you know I’m coming back here. Dunlop Street Diner, you’ve won my brunch-loving heart!! Run, don’t walk!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was incredible, service was also really good and quick, you get fried tortilla chips and 3 types of mole when you are first seated. The drinks are also really good and well balanced! This place is definitely the best Mexican restaurant I've tried The restaurant itself is also very nice and seating is not too close together. They also have a patio, and roof top patio that opens in the summers and garage doors that open in the summer. As for parking there is parking outside but this can be hard to come by especially during the summer. Accessibility: the bathroom requires you to go up stairs. Not sure if they have a more accessible bathroom. Overall: Love it and highly recommend it!!

Barnstormer has a great feel inside blending classic planes and wonderful craft beer. I visited for lunch on a Monday and there were some people there inside and the service was good. My server was quick, attentive and friendly. There's also some outdoor seating, but it's not a huge area. I would've said outside but the weather wasn't very nice. Inside, there is lots of seating. It's got a great cozy feel and there are lots of airplane posters on the wall. There was a huge selection of beer from Barnstormer, but they had beer on tap from other craft breweries, which I think is great that they maintain relationships with other brewers. I thought the First Class Lager and Mirror Pass IPA were great choices. For food, I kept it simple and had a burger and fries. The burger was fresh and not dry and there were more fries than I expected. I found that a nice touch. I would certainly visit again if in the Barrie area.

My experience here, for both the arrival and departure was good and smooth. Arrival on AI 187 from Delhi was good for immigration , luggage collection, complimentary WiFi and washrooms facilities. We had to wait a little longer than normal to get off the aircraft , though. For departure, the check in, security check all was smooth. For facilities , the gate here is little different from other airports, the duty free shops are just beside the gates, the seating area a charging point almost on every 2 seats. The walking from check in to gates are longer than normal though. Currency exchange here are in abundance but the rate is something I couldn't find a rationale to. For the transfers to this place, Uber and Lyft offer to select the drop off point as per the airlines , Hopp doesn't have the facility though. To ride a ride app vehicle get a level down to basement after exiting the arrival gates. Overall a good airport!!!
