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.

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.

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????
5. 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.

Lovely trail that winds along the river on the park road and then has a boardwalk with a pond that has many turtles. Many Canada geese and ducks on the river. Also leads to other trails throughout the city.

8. Shade's Mills

Shade's Mills has been called the best-kept secret in Cambridge. Favourite activities in this day-use area include swimming, sport fishing and canoeing. The conservation area has 12 km of hiking trails through a mature hardwood forest that winds along Mill Creek. There is good fishing for northern pike, perch, largemouth and smallmouth bass in the 32-hectare (80 acre) reservoir behind Shade's Mills dam. It is open for cross country skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing during the winter.

We didn't have high expectations of this park since it is located very close to the city; however, we were very impressed with the great hiking trails, the beautiful trees, and the delightful beach. We plan to return in the autumn with our canoe and in the winter with our snowshoes.

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!

The Old German Woolen Mill ruin near Glen Morris along the Cambridge to Paris rail trail is an unexpected encounter with history. It’s cut stone walls and raceway arches and overall imposing height are testimony to the skills of the stone masons who built it. Access is now signed as no trespassing, although it can be viewed from the rail trail or off a roadway in front of the ruins.
