RICHMOND HILL HERITAGE CENTRE REVIEWS
Nice cozy place to come and visit once in a while. We were there with my son making a craft for Father's Day. Very nice and engaged staff! Thank you.
A lovely spot I was unaware of until a friend booked us for afternoon tea. We went on the right day because there was a special bit of "info-tainment". Two gentlemen were there to tell of some interesting history of the area and time, as well as sing some relevant songs from that period (one man was a guitarist), read an interesting poem about the spice route and how it was viewed as rather mystical back then, and then everyone joined in singing a song with them! It was pretty magical and heartwarming. Food was fresh, tasty and quite enough, and the tea choices were lovely. Nice view of the back terrace and gardens (would be beautiful in the warm weather). The house itself is charming and full of rich historical info from way back when. So glad I went.
We had mother's Day afternoon tea. It was very lovely. We have to try it again in the summer when all the flowers are in bloom.

KING TOWNSHIP MUSEUM REVIEWS
Great small town museum/historical site/arts community centre. Best to call ahead if you're just dropping by to take a look and you want to see inside the buildings. The property is always open if you want to stop by and just look around outside. a variety of community events are hosted here and the site can be booked for you to host an event of your own.
Fun, engaging exhibits for all ages. Everytime we stop by here we learn something new, and meet people in our community.
Great place! The permanent exhibition is amazing. But unfortunately we missed the porcelain exhibition (it’s over).

RICHMOND HILL CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS REVIEWS
It was my first time in the Richmond Hill Centre for the performing arts theatre and it was great. The concert was great! Good seats and good sound too! I will be going again. I hope other people will have the enjoyment I had last night at the theater. Thank you.
I have attended here for the achievement awards of Richmond Hill, and the food was amazing. The caterers were excellent and very professional. I highly recommend seeing a show here.
Very clean and nice venue for events, the staff are great and so are the security. We’ll worth going if there’s a show you want to watch
