FORT WILLIAM HISTORICAL PARK REVIEWS

The year is 1815 and as you walk through the park you feel transported back in time. Young actors in period costumes engage you and explain what life is like for them. It's the middle of the Great Rendezvous, when the fur trappers and the European traders bring their wares to Fort William, the inland headquarters of the North West Company, the world's largest fur trading enterprise. You see the quarters where the French Canadian Voyageurs were housed, and the quarters and banquet hall where the management of the company were treated to 12 course meals on fine China. Quite impressive! We all enjoyed our visit.

This fort is by far the best place I've visited in Thunder Bay.The guides are awesome ,every house inside the fort you go to, represents a trade skill and occupation.There is an animal farm too.There are many activities such as paddling a canoe,axe throwing and firing a musket.

This place was surprisingly AWESOME. Wasn’t expecting it. We were lucky and ended up going on the great gathering day. Lots of actors in period costume entertaining and educating us along our way. Would definitely recommend this for a must check out while in Thunder Bay.

THUNDER BAY MUSEUM REVIEWS

A great place to visit and it's by donation.The first floor has all the history of TB , how people moved and what were the busineeses back at that time .The second floor presented a history of deseases and medications and on the third floor , there was an exhibition of beautiful pictures in black&white taken from Thunder Bay.

We had a lovely visit to the Thunder Bay museum. The first floor exhibit was very interesting and I also enjoyed the medical exhibit on the second floor. The staff was friendly and the giftshop had unique options.

Great museum! One of my favourite layout styles for sure where you can pretend to visit various olde thyme shops/services.

THUNDER BAY COMMUNITY AUDITORIUM REVIEWS

Watched Theory of a Deadman and the sound quality in the auditorium was pretty fantastic for a rock band. Clear concise vocals guitars and drums. Excellent venue for the city of Thunder Bay ..especially for medium sized attendance 2000 people. Pretty great view of the stage from anywhere in the building. Parking is kinda a disaster because people in the city don't know how to park properly causing some time delays at the end of shows.

My visit to the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium for a convocation event was wonderful. The hall was beautiful and impeccably clean, which added to the overall experience. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the event was well-organized. It was a great experience.

The Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra played the music of John Williams and it was amazing!! I definitely recommend checking them out! The staff was great!
