- mommalou4Saskatchewan, Canada522 contributionsI found these gardens mentioned on TripAdvisor and decided to check them out one afternoon when we had some time to kill, during our ten day visit to Oakville.
I wasn’t sure what to expect but found a pretty location on the water complete with cherry blossoms, tulips, fountains and walking paths. Other plants had yet to bloom, as it was still early in the season.
Several were out for a stroll, or even doing laps around the path. It’s a very serene place to visit. There was a unique art gallery on site as well.Written 20 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are many trails, challenging hills, washrooms, kids play structures, sixteen mile creek and picnic facilities. It is free to the public, many trailheads to jump into the trail system.Written 10 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- crazyloon56Mississauga, Canada251 contributionsAfter having the iFly experience, I purchased a gift certificate in 2020 for my 11 year old grandson and unfortunately Covid hit and the company went under. Fast forward to 2024, the company has reopened under new management and I received notice that the company would honour my gift certificate. I was thrilled. The grandson is 15 now, and he and his father were able to fly this week. They had a great time. The 15 year old even smiled.
From booking of the flights, all communications and post-flight photos, the experience was professional, friendly, fun and seamless.Everyone reacted quickly to my emails. Not once did I experience a negative service moment.
Note: I recommend adding the high fly option to add to the thrill.
I am pleased to recommend iFly as a thrilling gift for someone to feel that weightless experience.Written 20 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is also a lot of parking. It is lovely to watch the yachts sail pass.Written 11 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sandra Marie R7 contributionsNice private campsite. Well lit and clean facilities. Lovely shower. Good clear signage to find the various camp areas. Lots of bunnies! Nobody at the gate when I arrived, but I was able to follow the signs to get to my campsite.Written 18 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fiona MHuntly, UK228 contributionsWe visited the museum while on holiday in Oakville. It is a very interesting little museum, and worth a visit. Interesting video/presentation on slaves in Canada. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this museum.Written 29 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbie MWhite Rock, Canada22 contributionsThe guides were awesome and catered the ride to the skill levels of the riders in the group. They obviously care for their horses and matched the horse to the rider.

- flygirl75Montreal, Canada204 contributionsRecently, I had a late dinner here with my teen daughter. I ordered the sliders from the appetizer section. She ordered the burger with fries. We finished with the strawberry shortcake. The sliders were good. There were 3 on the plate and they were all dressed. The burger and fries were delicious. The strawberry shortcake was huge, for the price we paid, it was worth it. The only thing was that it was frozen in the center. My mojito was good but the mint looked a little tired. Overall, the experience was good. Service was friendly throughout the meal but not consistent unfortunately. We stayed after to play some games, which were super fun. Some games were a little short time-wise😕Written 26 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas21 contributionsExcellent cinema. We saw the new mission impossible and were thrilled with the prices and quality. If you live near by I could see no reason to pay the higher price at other cinemasWritten 22 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amanda1 contributionWe went in March to the Zombie room, everyone in their 20s had a lot of fun. Challenging, but having the large group work together and bounce off one another was super fun. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, a fun different activity to do with friends or family. 11/10 recommend narrow escape... we will be back for the other rooms for sure.Written 28 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jan2020aOakville, Canada8 contributionsI went with my husband and 2 sons (age 7 and 9) over the Family day long weekend. We all had fun playing the glow-in-the-dark mini-golf. The boys also enjoyed the small arcade area afterwards, even though several of the games were out of order and there was a limited choice of prizes available for redemption. Still a great way to spend a morning together!Written 17 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
