What to do and see in Windsor, Canada: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
Many tourists know Windsor for its casino. But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find fascinating history here. Once an important stop on the Underground Railroad, Windsor became an important center of whisky production and, thus, a major smuggling port during Prohibition. (Apparently Al Capone liked his Canadian Club.) In summer, catch the enormous fireworks display at the International Freedom Festival.

Prohibition was a wild,hysterical age filled with glamour & excitement difficult to match in history. It spawned the birth of speakeasies, flapper girls and blind pigs. Gangsters fought to secure a share of the illegal liquor business and mobsters like Al Capone relied on Windsor as the main supplier.

Wow! We were looking for a fun night out that was a little different and this totally fit the bill! The host was fantastic and the escape room challenging. We did “The Man in the Corner” and it provided just enough creepy factor to keep us wondering what would happen next. We are already planning our next visit to try a different room!

The place is bright, open, and inviting - lots of safety rules in place to make sure no one gets hurt. The staff were all super engaging and friendly, willing to jump in with helpful pointers too!

I've been to this park many times over the years and each time I go there I always get some ice cream and stroll around to see everything. I enjoy looking at the flowers, topiaries and the floating water fountain in the Detroit River. I find this park to be peaceful. There were even people there taking family and graduation photos with the river or the flowers/topiaries in the background.

Reviewed By NGDMJ - Moose Jaw, Canada
What a beautiful theatre! The seating is tiered & staggered so no big heads in front of you blocking the view. Nice to have the refreshment area adjacent to the theatre too. We saw the St Clair Christmas production put on by the Music Theatre Performance students and it was beyond expectations! The band, the performers, the music was all so professional and wonderfully enjoyable!!
