Top 10 Things to do in Windsor, Canada

October 5, 2021 Frederic Celentano

Many tourists know Windsor for its casino. But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find fascinating history here. Once an important stop on the Underground Railroad, Windsor became an important center of whisky production and, thus, a major smuggling port during Prohibition. (Apparently Al Capone liked his Canadian Club.) In summer, catch the enormous fireworks display at the International Freedom Festival.

The Canadian Historical Aircraft Association is located in the main hangar of the old No. 7 Elementary Flying Training School at the southwest corner of Windsor International Airport. We feature Avro Lancaster and de Havilland Mosquito restoration projects, 2 flying DHC-1 Chipmunks, a Boeing Stearman and North American Harvard as well as static displays of a Fleet Fawn and CT-133 Silver Star.

We had a wonderful visit to create a very inexpensive couple of hours of fun. My son (8) and I (29) went to visit the Museum and were treated to a personal guided tour with experienced staff. In my opinion the place looks a lot like a mechanics hanger as well as a historic museum and functions to teach both theory of flight, mechanics of flight, and history of military in the area. Great for tourist and Windsorites alike.

Jackson Park

Reviewed By hynka

If you haven't visited Jackson Park in Windsor, Ontario Canada...on the corner of Tecumseh Rd and Ouelette St., then you must visit before Jan 7th. The Park is a must walk thru with loved ones and children...stroll thru the thousands if glittering lights and festive decor. Walk thru the dreamy lit tunnels while walking hand in hand with your loved ones. Also take a stop at the many booths for gifts, hot chocolate and other creative items. Don't forget to take pics and video of this amazing experience. You can have that feeling of Christmas Joy forever. You only have 5 days left to feel like a kid walking in a fantasy world...no time like now to go. See you all at the Park...Jackson Park.

Reviewed By CanadianGirlV2199CX - Canada, null

My favourite place in the area. The spectacular trails are accessible to those with walkers and wheelchairs which is uncommon in a lot of other places. I love to go see the deer but do wish people would stop feeding them as it's really not a good thing to be feeding them.

The rides here were fantastic... 3 waterslides that were all pretty unique and surprising, and a flow rider, which is a crazy surfing experience. A friendly and expert flow rider told us there are only 3 other flow riders in Canada: west edmonton mall, laval Quebec and somewhere in BC. This place is challenging enough to keep teens amused for a couple of hours or longer, plus there's lots for smaller kids. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Highly recommended. We stayed at the Marriott which was easy walking distance -- we looked out on the waterslides from our room.
