    This place had so many cute local made gifts and also we got a super yummy seasonal coffee!…read moreDefinitely recommend stopping here. We ended up getting food somewhere else but some of their food looked delicious!

    This museum is sorely in need of a technological update. Opened in 2001, it contains a walkthrough…read moretour of Canada's history of confederation. While the information is interesting, the tour is run with earphones that contain a radio receiver. Each stop is transmitted continuously in one direction. This means that if you are not standing in the correct spot, or turn your head away from the display, you get earfulls of static. The headset is also heavy and uncomfortable because of the receiver. Additionally, many of the touch-screen displays aren't functioning. Finally, the tour theme is a journalist's view of confederation there had been journalists that were crosses between a tongue-in-cheek CBC reporter and the Royal Canadian Air Force. It was just too light an atmosphere for these important events. I've been to many museums, both in Canada and abroad. With digital techonology, they can now set tracks at each station, and have tourists dial in their stop number in a digital player, rather than continuously running on radio-waves. This would prevent having to listen to the back-half of an event, wait for it to restart, and then listen to the front-half. On the bright side, it's an informative (if superficial) tour of Canada's confederation years.

    If you are a fan this is for you. There are sites that you will need to walk to and the signs are…read morenot clear. Its a long walk on a hot sunny humid day. While the main museum was free, the hone where her wedding gown has a small fee. You cross a main road to a park and from there to the grave site. I felt the walk was worth my time. No hills,just a hot summer day

    I was saving my 1000th review for something special - Finally checked off a bucket list travel item…read more- Green Gables!! I've had this spot on my list ever since I read the Anne of Green Gables novels when I was a young girl - and even more so since watching Anne with an E!! I loved the show so much I read all the books again afterwards lol. This actual homestead belonged to cousins of Lucy Maud Montgomery - author of all the Anne books - but it was her inspiration for the Anne universe and they've done a beautiful job decorating the inside to look just how I imagined it to look from the stories lol! LM Montgomery was one of the few female Victorian writers that found huge success in her work while still alive. Her homestead and gravesite are nearby and also definitely worth a visit - especially if you're a fan! She was quite an accomplished lady and had an interesting life. A lifelong dream location visited and it was more than I could've imagined!! I got to see Anne's bedroom, walk through the Haunted Wood, and they even sell Raspberry Cordial haha!! There are several walking trails on the grounds and I wish I had time to explore more bc they were lovely. It's easy to find, prices are very reasonable, staff are all very friendly, and there's lots to see apart from the house - they have a nice museum and LM Montgomery's gravesite and actual homestead are within easy walking distance but also a very quick drive. Pro Tip: entrance to LM Montgomery's homestead is cheaper if you buy it in the combo ticket with Green Gables and you can buy both here. They also have a little cafe here selling mostly pastries and coffee. Plenty of parking and clean restrooms. This stop is a favorite with the giant tour buses so bring your patience.
