A Normanesque style Church, large interior, unobstructed view of the main altar. The original altar still remains & is a work of art! All wood, hand carved. Well worth the visit for whatever reason!

My friends and I had a great virtual experience ! Our host Katie did a fabulous job listening to our instructions, despite everyone excitedly talking over eachother. We all concluded we would do a virtual escape room again (and do one in person when able). We are proud to say, we escaped the Original Room !
3. BATL - The Backyard Axe Throwing League
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 144 reviews
At BATL, the Backyard Axe Throwing League, we believe throwing a killer party should be fun, simple, and full of bullseyes. Whether it’s a stag, bachelorette, team-building, birthday, or fundraising event, it deserves to be memorable. No matter what BATL location you visit across North America, you can expect delicious food and drinks, axe throwing lanes, expert coaching, and a fun tournament. Boredom sold separately.

If you're visiting Canada & Ontario for the first time this museum should be included on your 'bucket list'. Having visited here I fell I now have a full & proper understanding of how life was for those early settlers from many many different countries who first arrived years ago. You will learn so much about how Canada has been built up on many years of migration. Well worth a visit. Suitable for young children.
7. Schneider Haus National Historic Site
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 77 reviews
A local landmark and one of Kitchener's oldest dwellings. Schneider Haus National Historic Site features hands-on activities, special events, and more for the whole family! History comes to life as costumed staff demonstrate traditional tasks through the seasons. Also features a modern interpretation wing that hosts gallery exhibits, workshops and lectures. The heart of the complex is an 1816 Georgian-frame farmhouse that was built by and was home to the area's earliest non-Aboriginal settlers, Joseph and wife Barbara Schneider, who were Pennsylvania-German Mennonites.

We visited this historic house on a quiet Saturday morning and had the whole place to ourselves. First there is a gallery of wonderful wildlife photos with a scavenger hunt activity matching tracks and scat to the animal on the walls. There were also a couple of pelts and some skins and skulls to look at. Next was the historic house full of all sorts of interesting goodies like spinning wheels, tape looms, bee keeping sceps etc and a wonderful period-attired guide with an incredible depth of knowledge and incredible patience to relay tidbits about life in this period. As we left, my son informed me that he thought it was just as good as Ripley’s Aquarium which had been the previous outing. The gift shop is small but has lovely locally made items like beeswax candles and hand sewn bags. Highly recommend.

9. Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex

Reviewed By CharlieBrow
One of the best rinks in the OHL. Has the old school charm with a lot of amenities other rinks don't have. Parking is troublesome but if you park on one of the side streets, you will save yourself the 30 minutes trying to get out of the parking lot. Atmosphere is great and check out the Authentics Store when you are there. Can pick up some merchandise but also there is a history of the Rangers attached to check out past players, equipment and accolades.
