Such a nice place - a lot of things to see, explore and kids would love it too. It's easy to spend the whole day, we particularly enjoyed eco-friendly house, makes you wonder about current standards and monstrosity you see in big cities. Also, moving trees are fun and it is a great place for anyone to visit.

Beautiful walkways, flowers, trees, the stream and pond. Always interesting. View of the St Lawrence River fantastic. Exhibits constantly change. Every time I go, it is a different experience. I could spend all day there and still not see everything fully. Truly one of my most favourite places on earth.

It’s such a beautiful place. The flowers and trees are just beautiful. If you go there, make sure you stop at the restaurant and enjoy the incredible menu they have there. By far this is where we have the most amazing food and drinks. Words cannot describe how good the food were.

Had a brief tour through the gardens and zests an Manor house. Beautiful specimens in the gardens. Needed more than an hour to really see the grounds. It’s worthwhile stopping for a quiet reprieve from the busy of day to day.
