What travellers are saying
- Susan J8 contributionsMy family went on a Christmas Tour of the Parkwood Nation Historic site. Young and old all throughly enjoyed the experience. The young lady that conducted the tour was extremely knowledgeable. We are so fortunate to have this “gem” in the middle of Oshawa. We highly recommend this site and the gift shop was full of last minute unique gift shopping.Written December 21, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rick JWhitby, Canada96 contributionsThe best feature of CAM is they are always refreshing their content.

- Angela ROshawa, Canada28 contributionsTired of looking at the same old scenery? Why not check out the gallery? Beauty IS in the eyes of the beholder, and here is the place your eyes will appreciate beholding. A great way to start conversations while appreciating fine artist originals and upcoming new art styles. Sculpture, colour, and a true feast for the eyes! Feeling peckish? Head upstairs to the fine dining experience upstairs. The only restaurant that allows you to buy half a decadent cake slice with your coffee. If you still feel like educating further, the library is right across the parking lot. REAL BOOKS and a REAL LIVE EXPERIENCE for all the bookworms!Written November 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Angela ROshawa, Canada28 contributionsWhen that water resort in Cuba is out of your reach...pack up yourself and enjoy the natural waterline Lake Ontario provides. Relax here with your family ANY time of the year. The seasons and scenery change, but the lake is always so beautiful and calming. Take the negativity out of these uncertain times to go admire something steadfast and permanently a pat of Durham. Picnic, and stroll to your hearts contentment on the many trails Oshawa has to discover at its waterfront. I have seen everything at the lakefront..from giant across the sea ships in port, to Canada Day every year. PLEASING for your entire family!Written November 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- baroomMississauga, Canada2,057 contributionsAfter breakfast at The White Apron, we made our way to Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens for a short visit. Only 1 car was in the free parking lot at 8:55AM and we parked beside it as it was in the coveted shaded area (right side). This lovely park has mature shady trees, a paved bike path, meandering walkways, park benches, picnic tables, a dome roof metal gazebo and different feature gardens like a waterfall garden and a peony garden (already past blooming season; best seen in June). The Oshawa Creek runs through it so visitors have to walk/cycle over the picturesque Rotary bridge to get to the other side. There is no connecting bridge on the north side of the park so one has to retrace one's steps back to the Rotary bridge to return to the parking lot. No washrooms on site. We only stayed here for 20 mins but in that short time we agreed we found a gem.Written August 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alison AOshawa, Canada7 contributionsMe and my daughter love coming here.

- KarloGatoChicago, IL105 contributionsWe stopped here a month or so after they opened and saw the brand-new brewery. Very friendly people, and all the beers in our flight were good. A lot of different packaged and snack options. It's difficult to see if you are coming south from downtown Oshawa.Written June 28, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DukeP31360 contributionsWe've gone 2 years in a row and it's a welcome change of scenery for the kids.
The pancake breakfast is always consistent and they churn out food very fast with the help of their student helpers.
The tour down into the woods plus the horse + carriage ride (which you have to pay for) is always fun for the kids.
