AURORA COMMUNITY ARBORETUM INC. REVIEWS
My family loves to go for walks here in all seasons! The daffodils are lovely in the spring, the fields are lush and green with a variety of full, mostly labeled species of trees, mature and young. It's wonderful to visit.
Beautiful scenery, lots of recreation areas and areas to just sit and relax. Washrooms were very well kept too. Will go back again for sure.
Cool place with a lot of stopping points and information on plant life. Affords one a good walk on a cool afternoon.

THEATRE AURORA REVIEWS
I had the pleasure of attending a performance of The Diary of Anne Frank last night. Classic story performed by a wonderful cast. Set design and lighting were very clever. Theatre Aurora has recently had a renovation in the lobby and washrooms and make it an inviting, intimate location to appreciate live theatre in York Region. Thank you to the cast and the volunteers at Theatre Aurora for an enjoyable and affordable night out.
Just saw a fantastic musical production of "Fun home". Wow. Really talented actors of all ages. Great music to elevate you scene to scene. A very poignant story told in a captivating way. Never thought this mature and complex graphic novel by Alison Bechdel could be staged in such a moving and entertaining way.
We need to support Community Theatre every chance we get. I saw a fun little play, well attended, and enjoyed by everyone. Look forward to the next production.
