3 Best Places To See in Hamilton, ON

I had an amazing experience at Westfield Heritage Village! I liked it so much that I visited twice this summer. The first time, I was so impressed that I went back the next day with a friend. The volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The village features over 30 historic buildings on a 130 hectare site, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. It’s a great place to explore and learn about history, with beautiful woodlands, meadows, and trails perfect for peaceful hikes. Highly recommend it for anyone interested in history and nature.

We visited during Maple syrup festival which was also during March break so a popular outing for families. We purchased tickets in advance as they did limit the number of people entering at a time for this event. The tickets were good for 2 hours. Plenty of time to enjoy everything. This is a family friendly, reasonably priced venue . I intend to go back and visit again this summer.

It was an excellent thanksgiving getaway! It took about an hour from downtown Toronto. The heritage site of settlement era was well designed in layout and actors with costume worked properly. There were some short trails around the site as well.

This theatre is absolutely beautiful, clean and well appointed. The stage set up is one of a kind with an interesting backdrop. There isn't a bad seat in the house and they are comfortable as well. Staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend coming here to watch a play before heading to Toronto. It is such an intimate experience.

We saw a fantastic musical in Hamilton at Theatre Aquarius featuring all Tragically Hip songs called "It's a good life if you don't weaken"! The storyline was great and very moving and It was created by the same person who made "Gone from Away"! An amazing experience! Metered parking and paid parking lots are conveniently located around the theatre. The lounge area is spacious with high ceilings, creating a great atmosphere, and the long bar is well staffed, which helps keep the lines moving quickly. There are also stairs to the upper level, along with an elevator for anyone who may need accessibility access. It looked like every seat in the theatre offered a great view. The sound quality was excellent, and the actors’ voices came through clearly even with the live musicians performing.

I’m always impressed at what a group of talented people can do in their pursuit of excellence. Theatre Aquarius has come a long way since the public school field trips I used to take in the 1980’s…. A wonderful venue, great views across both balconies and the concessions are comprehensive. Clean washrooms and an open air feeling in the lobby create a fantastic atmosphere.
