My friends and I had a great virtual experience ! Our host Katie did a fabulous job listening to our instructions, despite everyone excitedly talking over eachother. We all concluded we would do a virtual escape room again (and do one in person when able). We are proud to say, we escaped the Original Room !

Reid Chocolates

Reviewed By hgh122

Reid Chocolates are the absolute best chocolates! They are high quality, taste great and there is always a variety of flavours, styles and types to choose from. We have been customers of Reid Chocolates for as long as I can remember. We purchased our wedding favours from them 17 years ago and people are still talking about how great they are. Every special occasion and holiday for us includes a delicious selection of Reid Chocolates and nuts.

Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory

Stroll alongside 1000's of free-flying butterflies in an indoor tropical garden at Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory. Visit our two galleries with mounted displays of insects and butterflies then witness butterflies as they emerge from their chrysalides and embark on their first flight.

Entering into the garden was as if you were in a movie, a magical and tropical paradise...you hear water running birds chirping and because it was winter, you had summer vibes????

C'est Cheese Please

Reviewed By polarbearmom

We were on our way to family reunion in Canada, coming from the states, and found C’est Cheese Please on tripadvisor, and stopped in to get cheese for the party. The store was so cute, great selection of cheeses, both local and international. The owner was so helpful and helped us put together a selection for a cheese platter. Delicious. She also told us that scenes from The Handmaid’s Tale had been filmed right down the street in the square. The shop also had a nice selection of cheese boards and accessories. if you are in the area, stop by this wonderful store..

Fashion History Museum

Like food and shelter, clothing is a necessity as well as a cultural expression. The fashion industry employs millions of people around the world and is a driving force behind the global economy. But fashion is also ephemeral, whimsically responding to changes in technology, taste, the economy, and social mores. The journey fashion takes from inception to production and from popularity to outdated is a fascinating story worthy of being told. The Fashion History Museum is a charitable not-for profit organization, founded in 2004, that captures the story of fashion through exhibitions using its collection of over 10,000 garments and accessories dating from the 1660s to the present. Alongside historical dress, the museum is building a contemporary Canadian designer collection as well as a comprehensive library and archives of fashion related publications and documents. Since 2004 we have been creating exhibitions that have travelled throughout Canada and as far afield as Hong Kong and Bahrain. In June 2015 we opened galleries in the old post office in the former town of Hespeler Ontario, now northern Cambridge. Three galleries in the museum are each changed once or twice a year to feature different topics and eras of fashion history.

Reviewed By L9889DQdebbies - Waterloo, Canada

Rather than being a massive museum with an overwhelming number of displays, this is a boutique museum showing a smaller, carefully chosen selection of special pieces. The museum also holds events like an 1812 Regency country ball, a 1912 Tango tea, and for 2020 a 1945 Victory dance in honour of the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. It's time to party like it's 1945.

Our daughter hosted her wedding at Descendants Brewery in November. Bonnie was helpful at every turn and came up with some great suggestions on how to make her day perfect! The bride and groom rented garden chairs and had a beautiful ceremony right in the brewery and then we were able to switch the room over for a great party! The couple also purchased craft beer from them with our own custom labels which made for a unique gift to give to her guests. The food was just what we hoped for and the staff was always on hand to field any special requests. Our guests keep commenting how unique and fun this wedding was and we couldn't be happier!
