Primitive Designs is located just 1 hour from Toronto. They aren't far from the 401, which makes it the perfect location to visit. Here you will find something for everyone!!! There is no charge to see the sculptures and tour the grounds, however donations are accepted. You can take photos at each of the sculptures, just be respectful. They are also pet friendly, which is an added bonus. Inside the establishment there is a wide variety of wood carved items, handmade steel items and so many knicknacks. Everything we found was reasonably priced. They even had giant shark sculptures hanging from ceiling. I almost purchased a six footer. We found a couple tiki masks, a miniature shark and and a cool wooden skeleton sword for our man cave. We both took photos with Bumble Bee from transformers and an Epic Shark that had been made from scrap metal. We both thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we will be back again soon!!

Apart from the makeup section, it's a pretty standard location. It's a Winners and Homesense combined and it's fairly large. Anyway, if you love getting makeup at Winners, you will love this location. They had so much Innisfree inventory! I love this Korean brand, so was in heaven, lol. It's in the Parkway Centre. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

We stopped by here on our way back to the city from Bon Echo to grab lunch and some souvenirs. This…read moreattraction is a country market best known for their Giant Apple. You can actually go inside the apple and climb to the top for a view of the entire area. There are also stalls in the front selling fresh apples and produce, restaurants and cafes, boutique shops selling fresh fudge and cider. They also have a bunch of family attractions like mini golf, rides, and a petting zoo. Perhaps, what they are most known for is their bakery selling fresh apple pies, apple bread, cider, fritters and variety of seasonal baked goods. There is also an open-kitchen display window so you can watch how they bake their products. We decided to eat at the smoke house restaurant. A full rack of ribs, fries and a blooming onion costed $55. The ribs were flavorful and tender but I thought fries and onion were just very average and overpriced. I would skip those next time. Since I was watching my sugar intake, I skipped out on the more popular items and opted for a few scones and muffins for the drive back home. The scones were so rich, buttery and very crumbly on the outside with a dense interior. It was so savory and delicious. The muffins were very good as well and to my surprise wasn't too sweet. This was such a charming little town. I would definitely come back again next time I drive eastward. I think their bakery items are really good and were very reasonable in price. I'll try their famous apple fritter and apple bread next time I come back.

I dropped by here for apple pie, and also picked up some butter tarts, apple fritters and apple & strawberry fritter. The apple pie is quite nice and has a tartness to it for the no added sugar version and I also prefer it cold/fridge. Some prefer it hot and warmed up with ice cream which is an excellent option as well. The butter tarts were also surprisingly nice, gooey in the center with a nice light pie crust. I wouldn't recommend the apple fritter or the apple & strawberry fritter - mine was a bit too much dough, dense and a tad dry and mot to my preference. The store also has some souvenirs to purchase as well as a few hot foot options too if you're passing by and want a touristy type of feel which I quite enjoy. There's also a lot of tour busses that stop here which makes sense as it's a nice quick stop right off the highway.

I highly recommend getting a few gifts or nonperishable items here, then stash them away for the next time you need something special for someone just because or if you are going to a small gathering and want to take something for the host. They are always raved about, and it makes me look a little bit more like I have my life together when I show up with something that took more thought than a quick errand on the way. Service has always been great. No one is hovering over me or talking too much and distracting me from looking around, and they are always helpful if I have questions. Quality food, quality items and knowledgable kind people.

My rating is 3.5 stars…read more I was at Chapters briefly. I would say ten minutes. It's a record for me in a bookstore. I drove from Markham to Peterborough to visit my friend and attend the first annual Peterborough Veg Fest. Well, when you visit a Starbucks before you leave and drink a grande beverage, chances are that your bladder will be screaming at you roughly 1.5 hours later. I needed to get beer for my friend as a housewarming present. This Chapters is in the same plaza as the LCBO. So, I parked, dashed into Chapters, found the washroom, and all was well. I came out, glanced at the items in the relaxed Starbucks section, quickly looked at all the magazines, and left. Beer was calling! I would like to go back and do a more thorough review. All I can say is that the washrooms are nicely kept and patrons are friendly. I had a nice conversation with a woman while we were both washing our hands. (199)

The Starbucks is a welcome addition and helps provides a warm, cozy relaxed atmosphere.

The staff are great if you need help finding a book as well. I appreciate the customer service here as I always can find an eager staff member to help me if needed.
