As part of the Scouts Canadian Jamboree program our patrol signed up for zip lining at this venue. It was so much more. There are lines and walkways of various levels allowing even the most timid of participants to have fun discovering they actually can do it. There was a great introductory area where we could get comfortable with moving about in the trees and then really good long zip lines for those wanting to do more. Staff was patient and friendly explaining the techniques. Equipment was in good condition so we always felt safe.The owner was present assessing the groups and offering alternatives to those waiting their turn. The mud run is a great adventure for those so inclined. I would definitely recommend this adventure for both families and friends to spend an invigorating day in the woods.

Located in Falmouth, Sainte Famille is one of Nova Scotia's oldest wineries. We have vinted award winning wines for over 25 years from the beauty and warmth of our estate vineyard. Our wines celebrate the distinctly coastal terroir that has been coaxed from the earth, the sun and the very vines that anchor us in scenic Falmouth N.S... We invite you to join us and enjoy one of two patio areas, each with their own stunning views. Our friendly staff will assist you with both tasting and tours. The gift shop offers unique, locally sourced items, as well as our complete wine profile. Our Pavilion area is excellent for weddings and other gatherings.

I went to a wedding there and they served the wine that was delicious. For the wedding part of it we had about 120 people so next to no place for a dance floor that was also uneven. The food was served by a local caterer hired by the bride and groom and food was good. I was not a fan of the bugs in the venue....the room we were in had screens but the doors were wide open letting in all the bugs.

We had the last tour of the season. Our guide was interesting, informative and informal. He had a lot of knowledge about the vines. The wine tasting was only $5. Nice shop and Gardens. Fantastic views. Me Luckett was even working in the shopThank you for your review! We hope to have you back!

We visited here during a road trip of Nova Scotia. This is a charming old home that still has some of the unique contents of its former owner. The guides are very knowledgeable and shared many stories, including showing us a delightful secret compartment in a desk. They knew lots of details. There seems to an an attached hockey museum - not of particular interest to us, but others might enjoy.

What a beautiful spot. The museum was very interesting. Tasha gave us a tour and told some wonderful stories about the history of the area and ship building. Very interesting artifacts and loved the character of the building, particularly it's sloping floor. We were headed to Avondale Sky Winery for a tasting and lunch, so did not eat but the little restaurant was lovely. The staff were very friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent there.

Our thanks to the staff who spent some time with us, explaining about the area, the crops, local pumpkin traditions, etc. The small gift shop sells THE most lovely apple/pumpkin scented candles - I've bought and burned these before and they are great. Take a walk up to the long pond and see where ice hockey started.

What remains of this fort is interesting to see. The blockhouse is the oldest one in all of North America and you can go upstairs. I thought it funny that there is a plaque on the front honoring one of the supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie. There is a guide on the first floor of the blockhouse who is happy to answer any question that you might have.
9. Mitchener Point Lighthouse

Reviewed By Peyts69 - Halifax Region, Canada
When we drove down Lighthouse Road, on the west side of the Avon River, near Hantsport, to see the Mitchener Point Lighthouse, we were surprised to see "Private Property" and "No Trespassing" signs posted. We spoke with a resident further back on Lighthouse Road, and after discussing the purpose of our visit, the resident was kind enough to call the lighthouse property owner and ask if permission could be granted for us to visit; the property owner was happy to invite us in.
The property owner (whom I'll refer to by the pseudonym "Jimmy", so as to respect his privacy) was absolutely fantastic. Jimmy advised us of a bit of the history of the lighthouse; we also learned that he is actually the owner of the lighthouse, as he purchased it sometime ago, and that he personally does all the upkeep and pays the property taxes for it.
The lighthouse is very cool, and unlike any other I have seen to date. The light is no longer functioning as the solar replacement it was given, once the electrical feed was removed, is non-operational. I quite loved the place, likely because the property is kept in immaculate condition and because Jimmy was very cool.
Though Jimmy was very hospitable in allowing us on his property to record the lighthouse with a drone, I would not recommend people add this to their list of places to visit; this lighthouse is now completely private property, and I am sure that Jimmy would not appreciate people taking it upon themselves to walk though/on his yard.

My husband and I stumbled across this museum when we were driving from Halifax to the wineries in the Annapolis valley and pulled off the highway. The hockey museum is in the same building as Haliburton House and both were very well done. The tour guides for both were very knowledgeable, but gave you your 'space' to look around. My husband (a big hockey fan) was impressed by the collection and said that, had the items been in the Hockey Hall of Fame, you wouldn't have been able to get so close to them. I enjoyed the displays dedicated to women's hockey and Indigenous origins of the game. The grounds around the museum are lovely and a nice place for a stroll. If you're in the area, it's a nice place to stop. We were there for approx. 45 mins - 1 hour and then continued on our way. They also have some unique souvenirs (blankets, t-shirts, hats) that my husband picked up for hockey-fan family members.
