Kingston Park is both a child and a senior-friendly park. It has limited shaded seating if needed, but lots of green space for spreading out a blanket, or your own portable seats. The water park is spectacular for children of all ages and is large enough so there is always safe play space. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff who intimately knew each piece. Art was from local artists. Not much to see when I went... due to covid-19 I bet.

If you are looking for something very different and unique you must visit the Birdies Nest, they have everything from home decor to clothing, and also some very different jewelry. The thing that I find most appealing is the great furniture very expensive but you get what you pay for, it is very well made furniture that will last you your lifetime. I would recommend a visit to this very special store.

You NEED to try the Pretzel and Sausage it was soooo good. Perfect pit stop on our journey and really easy to find.
8. Chatham-Kent Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 15 reviews
For over 60 years, the museum has been selectively acquiring artifacts of local and national significance. The second floor of the museum has been transformed into the Imagination Station as a way to use play-based learning to connect to our past. Through exhibitions, public programs, educational tours, and a museum gift shop, the museum staff provide opportunities for people to engage, interact, and enjoy the community's stories and artifacts. The Chatham-Kent Museum also includes the restored Milner Heritage House that depicts the 1905 lifestyle of a successful industrialist and his family. Visitors go back in time when stereoscopes, gramophones, and magic lanterns were the family's means of entertainment and a "modern" kitchen consisted of a wood stove, ice box and a new, all-purpose "Chatham" cupboard.

A very interesting exhibit featuring pinhole camera photos greets you as you enter the Museum. Fascinating pictures of buildings used to house those traveling through the Underground Railroad... and, did you know Chatham made cars!? I didn't know and I enjoyed learning about the local history of the region and actually seeing actual models. Upstairs there is an excellent exhibit all about Rocks!

This gem in the city has been a place that I frequented as a kid and now with my kids. Thank you to the O’Neil family for keeping this as it has always been and thank you also to the Chatham Rotary club for the trail system and bridge. Owls, birds, fish and other wildlife can be seen regularly. You should check it out if you haven’t!
