This was a main reason for our trip to Canada and it was well worth it! The visitor center staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the fort staff were informative and entertaining. The fort itself was great. We were a little disappointed that a handful of the buildings were closed or off limits, but it didn't really impede our experience. If you find walking too much (the trail from the visitor center to the fort is about a 10 minute walk) you can request a ride to near the gate from the visitor center staff. The admission fee is quite reasonable, and the gift shop prices weren't too bad. An overall great experience, especially for any avid history buff.
I'm so happy that this is still available for families to attend! It was entertaining and educational, and we got a lot of steps in! Quite easily the best Canada Day that we have had as a family- and it wasn't expensive.
Before I go into details, I want to mention that this is THE PERFECT place to visit for people who get overwhelmed with crowds, noises, or smells.
Our girls learned a lot. The workers did a fantastic job at staying in character and provided a wide variety of facts. They had historically accurate answers for everything that they were asked and were super approachable and patient.
We were surprised at how good and fairly priced the food was.
The views were incredible! The memories are priceless ❤️
This place was awesome. We were there on a Saturday in July and it was not busy at all. All the staff were in character and we're very knowledgeable and played the part well. The facility was very well kept. Price was reasonable at about 50$for 2 adults and one child. Took us about 3 hours. And the best part is it's dog friendly! We brought our lab in all the buildings and there were a couple other dogs as well. There are live animals on the site so make sure your dogs OK with that.
