The Best Places To See in Brantford

Approximately 35 exhibits with easy walking terrain; petting area with very friendly, cute goats! Four different animal programs scheduled showcasing 3 species at each: we saw a tarantula, corn snake & ferret at the noon hour. The handler was excellent, allowing all who wished to touch opportunity to do so. Spent about 90 minutes there including the noon program - TWP Seniors & five year-old grandson. Had it been a better weather day, we could have stayed longer and picnicked. It was worth the drive & admission. Great alternative/intro for a child who hasn’t already been to a huge zoo.

We took our godson/nephew for his 12th birthday. It was a Wednesday so it was not busy and we had such an amazing experience. The staff are walking encyclopedias and love to answer questions. The made him feel so very special letting him hold artifacts and artilary which he just could not believe.....all we keep hearing was awesome and cool! He is normally not too talkative but on the way home he never stop talking about his experience. He was also so very exciypted to show his many pictures at school the next day as his class is studying WW1. We made great memories that day and left being proud to be Canadian.

I was at the Woodland Cultural center for a conference this past week and had the opportunity to explore the museum and grounds between sessions. I was very impressed with what I found. The museum collection was utilized very well and the staff was some of the most friendly and engaging that I have encountered. I can't recommend this spot strongly enough. Just be prepared for some emotionally heavy content.
