MENNONITE HERITAGE MUSEUM REVIEWS
This place really honors the history of the Mennonite people. What a wonderful learning experience. The gentleman who gave our seniors group the tour was exceptional. I will be coming back with my mother to share it with her. We also had a tour of the new House Barn by a woman who was also very lovely. The staff were really accommodating to our seniors group and that was immensely helpful. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the museum. I highly recommend this place to anyone and especially to people who take seniors on bus trips. My group really enjoyed the experience.
Very interesting historical information and photos of Russian leaders and wars and the people it affected. Howw the Mennonite colonies traveled and made their homes in Canada despite their oppression. Pictured is 102 yr old Walter Martens pointing at himself cutting timber.
Only went to the cafe. The borscht is amazing. I would go back everyday just for a bowl. The quilts they display are beautiful, priced fairly too, for all the work they require.

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP GARDEN REVIEWS
Small beautiful garden with bamboo, sakura, dogwood, and loads more plants. They also have a really cool glass sculpture in the middle. Perfect for photos or a moment to relax. Definitely worth a visit.
This place is very beautiful, good atmosphere, shady, peaceful, beautiful view, suitable for walking and taking pictures.
Beautiful and very quiet garden! Apple tree memorial for farm workers across the country, and recognizing the loss of three women's lives when the inappropriate farm van carrying farm workers crashed.

ABBOTSFORD CENTRE REVIEWS
this is the best venue in the lower mainland for concerts everything is so easy to find, also has excellent sound. the beer garden could use lucky beer though and they need a smoking area. i allso like the location of the venue.
Seen Megadeth here, lines moved quickly into the arena. Price of parking was affordable. I would see another concert here.
We saw the Skillet concert last night and my family had a great time. The concession food portions were good and the stage set up was perfect. Even though we were in an arena, it felt like a more intimate concert the way they had set it up. Everyone working there had smiles and something positive to say. The concert was excellent, great sound and mixing. It was a great way to spend the Family Day weekend, Saturday night.
