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.

There is so much to do here, I can’t list it all. Every time we come here we always have fun. Whether it is walking on the boardwalk in the marsh, walking to the tip of The Point, riding our bikes along the bike path, visiting the Visitor Center or playing on the beach, we ALWAYS Have a great time here. Our next activity (hopefully) will be to stay here overnight in one of their oTENTik structures.

We almost felt guilty as it was only just over $3 to get in. The staff are so pleased to teach you all about the history of this fort and how life was back in the 1800's Everyone is in costume and living as they would have back then. Great place to visit.

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.

Coventry Gardens

Reviewed By 1HappyCamper12345 - Colorado Springs, United States

I've been to this park many times over the years and each time I go there I always get some ice cream and stroll around to see everything. I enjoy looking at the flowers, topiaries and the floating water fountain in the Detroit River. I find this park to be peaceful. There were even people there taking family and graduation photos with the river or the flowers/topiaries in the background.

We were planning a multi-generational day out (parents, grandparents and child (12 yrs old) and found saw this museum on Trip Advisor. Having grown-up in Tecumseh, I was surprised to learn about this gem of a place. We decided to take a tour of both the transportation museum and the heritage village and were so glad we did. Although we all enjoyed the museum, it was particularly fun for my parents to see cars from their youth and my daughter loved the 1927 caravan. It was enlightening to see all the local links to this industry - well beyond what I had known growing up in this automotive area. The museum guide was very knowledgeable and answered the numerous questions we had. Once the tour was done, we went back around to read the various placards and look at our favourites again before going to the Hertiage Village outside. The Village is small - approx. 15 buildings but they are in good condition and well presented so you feel you have stepped back in time. We particularly enjoyed the schoolhouse and the Jack Miner house. The Village is a good walk from the museum and might be a bit of a challenge for the elderly or those with mobility issues. The steps into buildings were also a bit difficult for my father who is in his late 80s. However, we all thoroughly enjoyed the visit. We spent 2hrs and easily could have spent 3.
