What travellers are saying
- nickuzhovMississauga, Canada29 contributionsIt is one of those places where visitors feel a community behind the exhibition, the dedicated people who want the place to be special and to grow and evolve all the time.
They also brought in the topic of space and its exploration, and there's a 15-minute planetarium show. It may be interesting for kids, but adults can easily skip it.
The on-site eatery is okay, but it has a great view of the nearby airport. (There's also an observation deck.)
The museum shop is huge and very theme-oriented.Written February 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Someone decided to attract travellers.This is just a big house without any walls and towers. Also this is not Versallis,but Canada is not France. LOL. We liked this place,because they created very good atmosphere of XIX century. A guide Natali had old-fashion dressing. It was so amazing. :-) When I visit historical sites,I always have interest to ordinary things,not fancy sides.I mean that I want to know how people lived in that period.I want to see washrooms,bathrooms, rooms of housekeepers,laundry,kitchen for cooking,storages etc. We could see this side of daily life in XIX century. I am sure that children cannot value this house. I'd recommend to read history and have imagination about that period,before visiting this site.Written February 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lgueretteSarnia, Canada9 contributionsGreat tour - we were able to explore most areas on the ship, the few roped off areas were still viewable. Information signs were plentiful and easy to understand, made our self guided tour a great experience. Be aware, lots of climbing ladders, a few tight spaces - would be a challenge for someone with mobility issues.
We went for the 79th birthday celebration, got to see the big gun fired and talked with a number of former servicemen (including one who actually served on the HMCS Haida!)
Admission cost was very reasonable - go see this one!Written August 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Paved paths encourage wheeled patrons, but in my experience everyone is super polite and the right-of-way is respected.
Excellent if you need somewhere to show off your Freedom Convoy leanings.. Quite a few unnecessarily large trucks for a city but I'm sure the fuel expenditure is worth it.
Plenty of places for bbq's without negatively affecting othersWritten September 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BarheatHamilton, Canada1,662 contributionsHamilton's annual Chrysanthemum Show for 2022 is held in the Gage Park Greenhouses October 14-23. This year's theme is Mums In Space.
On the way into the greenhouse look for the "meteorite" that crashed into the garden. It is well done.
Over 100,00 blooms are arranged in displays featuring the planets, space shuttle, lunar rover, Canadarm, Mars greenhouse, NASA logo, etc. There are information boards with every display. Over 200 varieties of mums are on display along with other colorful plants. We have attended many shows and this is one of the best.
Mums do not come in all colors. A staff member shared the secret of the blue and black blooms: they are painted.
There are activities for the kids including a hunt for 9 space related signs and an activity area.
While the tropical greenhouse is free, there is an admission charge for the Mum Show. $7.77 for adults and $6.77 for seniors.Written October 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The view is best after a rain, which supplies water. Hamilton mountain sets on Niagara Escarpment. Behind it is a vast expanse of farm land. The collected rain water flows to the rim of escarpment and make up the many falls.

I would reccomend a couple of rainy days before I would head out next time. The observation platform has a great view. The parking was a bit expensive at $7.50 for the short time that we stayed. I bet it is beautiful with more water.Written July 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- David PDover, UK69 contributionsVisited on a coolish June Monday afternoon. We enjoyed walking through time with the buildings that come from different eras, but sadly no buildings were open to visitors. But we still spent more than two hours there, including some walking on trails outside the village center.Written June 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Avi PanBrampton, Canada65 contributionsA must-travel for families with Kids.
Magnificient Lions and other animals. Animal shows were also good. Staffs were amazing
My advice to families will be take the bus tour once so that they can get the information on the place and animals. Then you can drive with your car as many times as you want. Well maintained place.
It has multiple play areas for kids. Food options were also decentWritten January 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sunshine SStoney Creek, Canada2 contributionsTo learn how not to give up your country to Americans. Learn how the loyalists fought the good fight and won.

- Vst448Toronto, Canada132 contributionsThe museum is a small family house.Organizers could keep atmosphere of past periods,for two centuries. The guide Jarrod told us many interesting things and expressed positiveness.Definitely,he is a very knowledgeable person,who likes his job ! On of the most important thing is that there are original furniture and personal belongings of the family. It was very interesting to hear a real story of a Lady,who worked in this building as a housekeeper/cook. One day she visited this site as a member of an excursion group... :-)Written February 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
