- FoodandTea_LoverKemptville, Canada331 contributionsVictoria Park is a magical place within an urban area. Lots of signage so you don’t get lost. There are still sections of trails closed due to spring storms but plenty of others to explore. For those that like stairs, there are plenty to climb to get to different vantage points for viewing the waterfalls. I saw a mother and baby deer munching without too much care for people. There is plenty of parking except when there is a large event at the bandstand. A must see for visitors to the area.Written September 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- francofile104Nissan-lez-Enserune, France129 contributionsWe arrived about 1 1/2 hrs before the "bore." We left and came back about 45 min early. There are several benches along the river, so if you get there early, you can get a seat. Otherwise, bring a folding chair or towel to sit on. The height of the bore we saw was not spectacular, but the way it all happens is so interesting. Another amazing tidal phenomenon about the Fundy Bay.Written September 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Buck WTruro, Canada79 contributionsThings my Mother Taught me. This was an excellent play and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were fortunate enough to have front row seats and it almost felt like we were on stage with them. The play was funny with lots of hysterical moments.
Stongly recommend any play produced by Hubtown theater.Written January 7, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EJN22 contributionsBest part: Black history - 2nd Construction Battalion WW1 from Truro. Men not permitted to fight because of the colour of their skin, however worked and died for the British Empire as construction builders in the war.
Excellent use of the small space to tell the story of Colchester and TruroWritten October 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is great to be able to go and do research and read all style! My little girl loved all that there was to do there and especially the electronics of course. However I need to keep a balance, some book reading and some electronics.🤓
Staff was also very friendly and helpful.Written July 13, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were too very knowledgeable staff members to explain all the items (not so necessary for the 4 seniors in this party. Two of us are retired teachers and the loved all the artifacts that allowed them to reminisce about how it was when they started out in their careers 50 years ago. Well worth the visit.Written July 31, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KnutsfordiansKnutsford, BC17 contributionsI grew up in Stanfields gitch (such a Canadian expression). Every morning, I’d look down and read “Stanfields, Truro, NS, so when we were heading back east, I knew that this was a destination.
While the deals were terrific (the whole family got union suits for Christmas pajamas, and henley sweater, plus much more), there wasn’t a whole lot about the history of the factory. Some old equipment, and old advertisements, and the chance to stand on the old factory floor, but no actual “tour”.
So go for the opportunity to get some terrific deals, and understand that there won’t be much learning.Written July 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I drove by it several times as I was maneuvering the downtown one-way streets and traffic, so I didn't get out of the car to take photos (which I normally would because I love old churches). I would have loved to see the interior.Written June 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- J B14 contributionsParking on several sides. It has a paved walkway around small lake. I like to jog a few laps everyday here. Lots of benches and picnic tables, some are covered. Duck, loons and other birds frequent the water.Written July 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- NHjoSaco, ME8,458 contributionsI drove by the town hall several times while trying to maneuver along the one-way streets in downtown Truro. There was a lot of traffic when i was there, and frankly I just wanted to 'get out of town' and continue on my road trip. I did like the building's Greek Revival architecture quite a bit, though.Written June 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
