Top 6 Things to do Good for Kids in Sarnia, Canada
Sarnia is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, and had a 2016 population of 71,594. It is the largest city on Lake Huron and in Lambton County. Sarnia is located on the eastern bank of the junction between the Upper and Lower Great Lakes where Lake Huron flows into the St. Clair River, which forms the Canada–United States border, directly across from Port Huron, Michigan. The city's natural harbour first attracted the French explorer La Salle, who named the site "The Rapids" when he had horses and men pull his 45 tonnes (50 short tons; 44 long tons) barque "Le Griffon" up the almost four-knot current of the St. Clair River on 23 August 1679.

I was not expecting how amazing this place is and its non-profit. The owner and a tour guide were super-friendly and greeted us upon arrival. The museum is a lot larger than I expected and includes a gift shop. There are two floors of an impressive private collection of taxidermy wildlife, dinosaur bones and fossils, insects, corals and so much more. Its honestly, a hidden gem and worth a visit if you are in the Sarnia area. The taxidermy displays are breath-taking, including rare wildlife in beautiful authentic poses, just as if you were in the wild observing them. The dinosaur artifacts, include eggs, a fully assembled dinosaur skeleton and a giant t-rex skull among many other incredible things from the jurassic era. Upstairs more fascinating specimens, with fossils dating back to billions of years ago, more wildlife and insects. Be sure to check this place out. Would be ideal for a school educational trip but really just about anyone would enjoy this place. Don’t miss out on seeing this place.

Lovely park and beach front area. Lots of space to wander around in. There are several area's with playgrounds for kid also there is a huge children's farm ( bring food to feed the animals with) also a barn that usually has baby animals in. Watch where you walk the geese don't care were they poop. Large area's with picnic tables spread all over park. On a summer's day best place to be ever. The beach area is big but beach is stoney and not all sand.In summer the band shell has entertainment.
