What travellers are saying
- Mixa's TravelsOldsmar, FL4,154 contributionsYes, we joined the other cruise people and got a picture by the Big Fiddle. It's a little difficult to get all the fiddle in the picture. It does add some character to the cruise Port and creates photo op for visitors. There is also a nice group of vendors showing many local crafts at the Terminal.Written September 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 573WayneOttawa, Canada27 contributionsGreat experience regarding artistic and innovative local design and craft. More retail space like this on Charlotte Street would be welcome. It seems the cruise ship fiddle shops has become the new Charlotte StreetWritten July 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- roaming_kiwi58Christchurch, New Zealand2,816 contributionsThe Sydney waterfront has been nicely redeveloped, with a nice boardwalk, and several monuments. We came to Sydney on a cruise ship, so it was an easy walk for us.Written October 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tracy M5 contributionsMy first visit to this place was just this summer and I'm sad that I didn't discover it sooner!
It was an easy peaceful walk and I will definitely be back again.Written September 28, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

One of the really neat things was learning some of our now common terms and the origins behind them. The floor with the rope and the doors that were shaved and redone were quite interesting!! There is definite spiritual activity in the house.Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bill HTampa, FL286 contributionsWe’d had some of their beers in restaurants, but wanted to try from the source. Glad we did; they have a much wider selection on tap than we found in any restaurants. Their stout is outstanding ! Full of flavor with a nice after taste. They made sure you could taste as many as you like to get one you enjoy. Wish we were in the area longer to try more.Written May 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeilaTampa, FL3 contributionswalked an hour through town from cruise port to trailhead, nice trail along a babbling brook. great way to spend a morning. can drive there and park though, if you prefer.Written August 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PBPGYorkshire, UK8,453 contributionsMaritime monument Set on the boardwalk that runs along the seafront, this memorial is a tribute to the thousands of Canadian Merchant seamen who gave their lives in World War Two. Better than a statue, it is a frozen moment of time where four sailors are in peril.Written September 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- William TCulpeper, VA624 contributionsIt is always great to visit and learn about a home built in the 1700's. The staff (apparently volunteers) did a great job of sharing the history of the home and the family of the Cossit family. We learned in the kitchen of a drink the earlier settlers used to get vitamin C. They boiled pine and spruce needles to which they added things such as syrup and rum - we were provided a taste. The gentleman in the kitchen (in period clothing) was great!
You have several steps going in plus steps to the second floor, plus the atic. For 2$ well worth the visit. We visited on a rainy day when several cruise ships were in port. We arrived just a a tour group was leaving so the place was packed but soon cleared out to a reasonable number.Written October 12, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It all felt a bit commercial when we visited, strange as there is not fixed entrance fee, just make a donation. It’s not very big, lots of people in and a women giving something of a talk to a group at the front. Didn’t feel churchy though it looks the part from the outsideWritten September 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mathew Saju KallachiyilSydney, Canada3 contributionsCoxheath is a very beautiful place to go for a trek. Everyone can go there because it is a short trek and people can climb it easly. There are ropes, made my trek easier. The view from the top was really awesome and i was feeling so pleasent. People also came for skiing and other adventures. My suggestion is to go in the morning or in the evening. The sunset was really beautiful from the top. And evening lights are good for photographers to take scenic pictures. Family and friends can enjoy the trip to the fullest.Written March 30, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 1991KEBNavarre, FL1,632 contributionsThere isn't a piece of town history that isn't here from the steel and coal mines to family living and military history. Old cameras, typewriters, sewing machines, ovens, and so much more. The people were amazing with the hot coffee and oatmeal bars, friendly smiles and warm hospitality.Written September 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
