His interaction with the audience is especially amazing. Almost immediately, he makes you feel like you’re one of his friends. Up close and personal is a great way to describe this show. A must see performance! 5 stars for sure!

The ferry runs regularly throughout the day and is a great way to reach Wolfe's island. Just 20 minutes from Kingston on the ferry, this island with its windmills, scenic vistas, charming houses, shops and restaurants is a great way to relax. During winter the ferry uses a dock that is farther away from the village and as of Oct 13, the shuttle bus to the village is going to be suspended (perhaps due to covid restrictions). This may make getting around more difficult unless you take a car across on the ferry, which you absolutely can! While in the village, check out the charming churches, the eclectic street names and the wonderful paintings that adorn the walls of many public buildings

Once inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of 19th century military life, experience guided tours, scenic views, heart-pounding musical performances and precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard. You will also see people representing the civilian population of the Fort as schoolteachers and soldiers' wives. The Fort also plays host to numerous special ceremonies and events that take place all season long.
A site all should visit, self guided tours or full guided tour, lots of hands on experiences, plenty of exhibits, the ability to shoot a muscat, watch the cannons go off and shop at reasonably priced shops. A first date experience!
