A wonderful place to spend a pleasant hour or so choosing books reading newspapers and magazines, accessing information on the many computers which the library has on hand for its clients and many many more services they offer. The staff is always at hand to help.

The Burlington Waterfront Trail provides a wonderful experience for just about everyone. One may cycle, walk, jog or just hang out. The trail runs from the Hamilton Harbour Lift Bridge to the pier at the end of Brant Street. The main elements of the trail were made from a former railway line which ran from Toronto the the US. One of the main features along the way is Spencer Smith Park, home of the country's biggest ribfest as well as the annual Sound of Music festival. The park features a water park for kids as well as swings and a zip line. Spenser's restaurant is an upscale dining site with excellent meals and a grand view of Lake Ontario. Nearby, there are numerous restaurants along Lakeshore and Brant Streets. Parking is free along the beach boulevard on a first come, first served basis. The trail is also accessible by public transit. No matter the time of year, the trail is enjoyable and quite calming as the waves roll in.

The place to go, hidden but a jem nonetheless. The patio is a great area to escape the summer heat. Don't drive too fast down the hill or you miss it !

Great local company. Have enjoyed their products for years. This year during the pandemic, I have to say they are an example of o e of the best run purchase and curb side pickup experiences I have had. Easy to use online ordering. Clear instructions for pickup. Clearly marked pick up spots and a truly touch free experience. Touch free till I get my hands on those milk chocolate wonders. Great place. Recommended!

Spencer Smith Park is a lovely, we'll maintained park. The view of Lake Ontario and the Burlington Skyway is Breathtaking! The boardwalk is wide and the new pier invites you to explore. The pond outside the restaurant is always sparkling and has something going on......remote control boats scoot around entertaining the crowd that gathers or it always attracts roses cheek skaters in winter. The festival if lights is a beautiful display in winter and the Sound of music attracts many to the stages set up within the park. Famous names entertain the crowds that gather for the free festival and craft fair every summer. A great place just to walk with your honey after dining at one of the many restaurants in the area.

A wonderful place to experience art in many different forms. Whenever I am downtown Burlington, I like to pop into the AGB and see what is new. If I need a special, unique gift, I will find it in the Gift Shop. Admission is free and it is very child friendly. If you have mobility issues, don't worry it is cane, walker and wheelchair friendly. Members of the various guilds are happy to talk about their craft/art. Classes (when permitted) are a great value. I have taken hand pottery and wheel pottery classes there and loved them. I am very proud of my little creations. The educators are knowledgeable, friendly and make learning fun!
