We went as an adult family for the annual Christmas open house. This is a beautiful conservation area with a pond, covered bridge and mill. For the open house, the buildings were open, featuring hot cider, cookies and hot chocolate. There were horse drawn sleigh rides and a choir singing Christmas music. This is a beautiful place anytime but especially enjoy this annual event.

A beautiful park and gardens. Great for a picnic or a stroll! There is a playground off the side of the park which is fenced in. Bring a picnic, a blanket and a book to spend an afternoon here relaxing!

Any cold mid-winter night is immediately made more special with a visit to the Falls, the lights, the sound of rushing water, and voila, magic! Make sure you enjoy the view from one of the local Almonte pubs or restaurants, even better!

We enjoy the Beckwith Trail throughout the year. The path is easy to walk on in Spring, Summer and Fall. It’s a beautiful place to cross country ski in the winter. There are wonderful views and friendly people who also enjoy the trail. We highly recommend this nature adventure.

Located in an abandoned Hershey’s factory in Smiths Falls, the Tweed Visitor Centre is more than a window into the world of cannabis - it’s a fascinating look into the past, present and future of our favourite plant. From the moment you arrive to peeking into working grow rooms, your senses will be engaged and your minds opened as you explore the history, science and culture of cannabis. An educational theatre experience challenges preconceptions and highlights society’s changing relationship over 10,000 years. Discover the complexities of the cannabis plant and learn about the role of terpenes, and witness our bean to bar artisanal chocolate production. Finish off your tour with a cup of coffee, browse through our collection of books, and stop by the gift shop for something special to remember us by. We hope this behind-the-scenes tour will broaden your understanding of cannabis and inspire new perspectives.

From entering the parking lot to the end of the tour, we really enjoyed speaking with the employees. Special shout-out to Rebecca ("Blue") and John for the great tour which was well organized, informative and interesting. The factory itself is unbelievable clean! We were greeted in the parking lot by some of the staff on their lunch break. They were all really friendly and smiling. At the end of the tour we milled about in the merchandise area and had nice, informative conversations with Blue and some other female staff. We really liked Blue in particular for her warm, friendly manner. She is definitely a good representative to be the 'Face for Tweed'. Don't ever let her...or John leave!

Quaint, clean with nice little shops and art galleries, great food. I won’t go into too much detail, so you can discover for yourself! Waterfall and lovely picnic area near the Mississippi river as well as a new trail called Riverside. Wonderful for a day trip or stay longer at a bed and breakfast in the area. Enjoy!
