Reviewed By AllieH9 - Gilbertville, United States
We've gone on a tour of a coal mine, a quarry, and various other such occurances. This tour takes the cake! I learned so much about the region, the copper mining process, and geology!! Our guide was very proficient in English and because there were only six of us who spoke English, we had a very private tour. If you are in the area, this is a MUST! Absolutely worth every penny!!! Oh and if you bring/wear some warmup pants and a sweatshirt, you'll probably thank yourself.

It was the best activity we did in our short stay in Sherbrooke. The murals are located in strategic points that make you walk through the most interesting part of Sherbrooke's downtown.

Visited the Granby Zoo in August 2017 with our two children (age 7 and 9). They had a blast. So much to see - definitely recommend buying the two day pass if you intend to also go to the water park because there is too much to see in just one day. The kids loved seeing all the animals and, while there's alot of walking, it's not as much as at the Toronto Zoo. The water park was a welcome chance to cool down after a long walk around the Zoo (kids couldn't get enough of the wave pool!). While I agree with other comments re. the price fo the food, there was a special for dinner after 5:00 p.m. which helped. Also, if your family is really organized (ours is not!), lots of people brought coolers / wagons and had their own picnics (lots of places to sit). The only negative would be that the amusement park section of the Zoo is really for very young children. The only 2 rides for older children were the rollercoaster and pirate ship, both of which you had to pay extra for. Go for the Zoo and water park, if you end up going to the amusement park, that's a bonus.

We had booked a chair lift to go up to the top of the mountain ahead of time which was wise because the beautiful weather attracted many people. The view from the top was magnificent since the Fall colors were spectacular. They are well organized with parking and safety-minded access to the chair-lifts.

Mount Pinacle is a great hike as the view-to-effort ratio is great for hikers of all ages! It’s both an easy and enjoyable hike that is fit for any fitness level! Unless you were told you were 655m (2,182 ft) at it’s highest point, you would never have been able to tell from the journey to the summit which can be achieved by most in about half an hour. We suggest going early in the morning to beat the crowds - it does get quite busy on the weeks during the afternoon hours - if you go for sunrise you'll have the entire summit to yourself! It's pet friendly, there is cell service, and no entrance fee.

Be sure to wear good pair of walking shoes. Was a beautiful experience walking in the forest with a great light show/display.
