HAPPY ROLPH'S ANIMAL FARM REVIEWS

If you want to relax, come and visit this place. Well-maintained grass, lots of picnic tables, a beautiful playground for kids, animals for them to see. A beautiful trail for kids and adults to enjoy. I love the view of lakes from the waterfront trails. The best is the no parking fee and no entrance fee. The Washroom is clean and available.

Wow! Such a great farm to visit. Perfect area with lots of shade. You can purchase duck food for $1, which is perfect as they can not eat bread! Nice nature walk which takes you down to the water front. We also had fun on the playground. Definitely a must see. Free parking and entrance.

Great place for family outing, full of Serenity… amazing waterfront, you can get to see goats, cows, horses, pigs, geese, ducks and a few other farm animals. No entry or parking fee.

ST. CATHARINES MUSEUM & WELLAND CANALS CENTRE REVIEWS

This was quite a surprise, it was a very nice museum. It’s got a very nice layout, I spent about an hour here, it has a very nice collection of various things. It has some amazing models of the ships that use to pass through the canal, it has some vintage cars and firetruck as well as some very cool antiques. There is also the Ontario lacrosse museum located inside. It really was very well displayed and preserved, I really enjoyed my time here. It’s on a donation basis, it has a very nice gift shop and a nice atmosphere all round. They also have an outdoor observation deck to see the canal as well as some really nice hiking trails to go on. I would definitely recommend checking out this hidden gem when in and around the St. Catherine’s / Welland area.

The visit to the St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canal was truly remarkable. I was captivated by the rich array of artifacts and exhibits that have been carefully preserved there. From the historical displays showcasing the vibrant past of St. Catharines to the intricate engineering marvels of the Welland Canal, every corner was filled with fascinating insights into the region's heritage. The intricate models detailing the evolution of the canal's construction and its significance in facilitating trade left me in awe. Exploring the museum's collection, I gained a deeper appreciation for the cultural and industrial legacy that continues to shape the community.

The museum has so much from our past. This is a great place to take your family or your grandchildren. The observation deck outside has a great view of the boats coming through the lock. Even if you just choose to grab yourself a coffee and a snack there is various areas outside on the lower and upper decks with a great view to enjoy some downtime.

MERIDIAN CENTRE REVIEWS

Great venue. Super friendly staff. Concessions are amazing. Very limited parking outside with easy access to venue but plenty of parking in around the city. Highly recommend to come here for any type of event.

This was my First time to the Meridian Centre. I went with friends to watch wrestle mania. The venue was nice and easy to navigate with clean bathrooms. Parking was a bit difficult we ended up in a parking garage a few blocks away.

Perfect sized venue to see a live show. Saw Brit Floyd last night and the acoustics were incredible! Great restaurants and pubs close by. Free parking up top on the streets on the weekends.
