We visIted The Ranch on a beautiful Sunday Morning. The staff is very friendly and informative. My horse was MAC and very well groomed. COVID-19 safety measures were all in place. We did a 1 hour trail ride through the beautiful enchanted woods and fields. The staff took pictures for us and sent the link right after our session!! I highly recommend for all ages.

We went in March to the Zombie room, everyone in their 20s had a lot of fun. Challenging, but having the large group work together and bounce off one another was super fun. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, a fun different activity to do with friends or family. 11/10 recommend narrow escape... we will be back for the other rooms for sure.

The gardens provide such a peaceful location to walk & take in nature. The park with it's ponds & wildlife (ducks, frogs, turtles, etc.) looking out over Lake Ontario take you to a state of tranquility immediately. The rose garden & it's heavenly fragrances is divine.

Lion's Valley Park

Reviewed By Connoisseur-of-Life - Mississauga, Canada

This is a favourite walking destination for our [active] seniors’ group which is a particular popular destination in the autumn to see the fall colours. But the visible sedimentary geology also elicits comments and interest. Evidently also a great place for picnics and BBQ’s. It is extremely well kept and an absolutely amazing freebie. The entrance road demands brakes in good working condition but a thrill for those who have otherwise sedentary lifestyles. Parking is adequate and dog walkers love the paths. Despite the traffic overhead, it is a place of tranquility and natural beauty.

Kids love the summer water play area, and cooling off in the waters of Lake Ontario. A nice walk with shaded and sunny areas, play areas, picnic areas, and an easy commute down Lakeshore Drive.

I know the 2 owners who have saved small town movie theater. It’s a great place to catch movies without paying the huge fees of the big chain theatres. The seats have tons of leg room for those of us who are not 5’7”. Go there get some popcorn and a pop at reasonable prices and enjoy a movie.

Very nice to see such extensive off-leash trails I love to take my dog here. A bit pricey to enter but its a relaxing place to be.
