This is a wonderful facility in which to watch shows. Every seat in the place provides good viewing. The place is spotlessly clean, lots of women's washrooms and intermission snacks. There is an elevator for diabled people. Unfortunately there is not enough parking and both times although arriving half an hour early, we have had to locate street parking that was not real close.

I had the opportunity to volunteer here during my time on a not for profit board. What a nice bunch of people making an amazing difference around the World from a location in the countryside of Southern Ontario that you'd never find unless invited.

Beautiful selection of pictures and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. They helped us select a picture and the right size for our living room. Our picture was ready early, just in time for us to enjoy it for Christmas. I highly recommend you take a visit!

Reid Chocolates are the absolute best chocolates! They are high quality, taste great and there is always a variety of flavours, styles and types to choose from. We have been customers of Reid Chocolates for as long as I can remember. We purchased our wedding favours from them 17 years ago and people are still talking about how great they are. Every special occasion and holiday for us includes a delicious selection of Reid Chocolates and nuts.

Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory

Stroll alongside 1000's of free-flying butterflies in an indoor tropical garden at Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory. Visit our two galleries with mounted displays of insects and butterflies then witness butterflies as they emerge from their chrysalides and embark on their first flight.

Entering into the garden was as if you were in a movie, a magical and tropical paradise...you hear water running birds chirping and because it was winter, you had summer vibes????

Grand River Brewing

Reviewed By Andrew42176

It's hard to write about a place that no longer exists! It was one of the best microbreweries anywhere. Their Plowman's Ale, Millrace Dark, and longer ago, the Enigma Black Lager were among the finest beers you could find. The staff were friendly and knowledgable and the regular visits to refill the growlers were always a pleasure. When Magnotta bought the brewery the operation seemed to improve, but they closed it suddenly, saying that the brewing was moving to another location and that the beers would be available through the LCBO and their own store. The best ones have vanished and the LCBO no longer carries any. A sad loss of an excellent, popular and well respected brewery. Note: the date given below is a "plug", as the actual date s not available.

Airborne Trampoline

With over 20 years of experience, Airborne has perfected its programs in the sport of trampolining. These programs include Recreational Trampoline Classes, Trampoline Birthday Parties, Summer - March Break Winter Break Day Camps, Public Jumping, Special Needs Classes, Adult Aerobics Classes, Moms & Tots Classes, and Airborne's Competitive Trampoline Team.

My family has been in and around Airborne for about seven years now. Our daughter started rec classes at the age of eight. At Airborne, she found exercise, friends, good coaching, and ultimately her passion. Seven years later, she is a national level athlete, supported by Chris (the gym owner) and his well-qualified coaching staff. Over the years, Chris has built a highly successful competitive team - now the top team in Ontario two years running. That success simply wouldn't happen without a lot of attention to the recreational programme that runs through weekly classes, summer camps and PD camps. Airborne also hosts great Birthday parties (we've held parties for our kids there and been guests at lots of parties) and open jumps on weekends and during school holidays. There are classes for kids, classes for adults, classes for snowboarders looking for a place to practise tricks. The gym is safe, well-run, successful and staffed by lots of really wonderful senior and junior staff. Check it out for a party, a camp, an open jump (great during the holidays) or a class. You won't be disappointed!

Fashion History Museum

Like food and shelter, clothing is a necessity as well as a cultural expression. The fashion industry employs millions of people around the world and is a driving force behind the global economy. But fashion is also ephemeral, whimsically responding to changes in technology, taste, the economy, and social mores. The journey fashion takes from inception to production and from popularity to outdated is a fascinating story worthy of being told. The Fashion History Museum is a charitable not-for profit organization, founded in 2004, that captures the story of fashion through exhibitions using its collection of over 10,000 garments and accessories dating from the 1660s to the present. Alongside historical dress, the museum is building a contemporary Canadian designer collection as well as a comprehensive library and archives of fashion related publications and documents. Since 2004 we have been creating exhibitions that have travelled throughout Canada and as far afield as Hong Kong and Bahrain. In June 2015 we opened galleries in the old post office in the former town of Hespeler Ontario, now northern Cambridge. Three galleries in the museum are each changed once or twice a year to feature different topics and eras of fashion history.

Reviewed By L9889DQdebbies - Waterloo, Canada

Rather than being a massive museum with an overwhelming number of displays, this is a boutique museum showing a smaller, carefully chosen selection of special pieces. The museum also holds events like an 1812 Regency country ball, a 1912 Tango tea, and for 2020 a 1945 Victory dance in honour of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. It's time to party like it's 1945.

Decided to treat my son and my 13 year old niece to a game of low impact paintball today and it was a blast! My son loves this place! The staff are friendly and the young man working as the referee was awesome and so well mannered!! This is a great place for kids of all ages. The special pricing for the long weekend was a bonus too. Great job guys!
