The grounds are amazing. The programs for children and families are wonderful. The staff works very hard to accommodate people and the tea room is a nice touch and highlight for my mother and family. This is a gem. I would strongly encourage all parentss to take their children here. Clean, well curated, accessible and affordable when you leave a small donation. Please take the time and go see the Christmas lights. Your family will love it.

The SC Johnson Trail runs 14 kilometres (9 miles) between Paris and Brantford. It travels through farm fields, rare prairie grasslands and provides several scenic vistas overlooking the Grand River. The trail is finished with stone dust and has some steep hills. A few short sections follow municipal roadways so watch for traffic. The brochure, Explore the Hamilton-Brantford-Cambridge Trails, includes a map and descriptions of highlights along the trail. The SC Johnson Trail follows the abandoned Lake Erie and Northern Railway bed and was completed in 1998 through a generous donation by SC Johnson and Son Ltd. of Brantford to the Grand River Conservation Foundation.

Designed by Alward, the man who designed the Vimy Ridge memorial in France, Brantford is fortunate to have this fine structure to honour the war dead. Situated at the main intersection of the city, it is a very visible and dramatic part of Brantford's landscape.

Brantford Twin Valley is a great day trip for those of all ages. We had 2 adults and 2 pre-teens on our trip. The grounds were well maintained, all the staff we met were friendly and really showed their love of the animals and their job. Pack a lunch and enjoy the grounds, there were multiple sitting areas. The animals are beautiful and are all very friendly, which showed how well taken care of they are. Great Small town business to support. Highly recommend a trip or two.
6. Victoria Park

Reviewed By timp620 - Brantford, Canada
This is one of the finest examples of a classic Victorian town square set in the shape of the British flag. Surrounded by Turner architecture as well as Brantford City Hall - itself one of the finest examples of Brutalist architecture in the country, if not the world. At the centre of the square is a wonderful statue honouring Joseph Brant, for whom the city is named.
