If I could give River Valley a negative star I would!!!! We arrived yesterday (Mar7/15) at 2pm only…read moreto discover there was a HUGE line up of people waiting to buy tickets; at least 60 people. After a half hour wait and only moving ahead about 2 feet, I decided to go in to the "lodge" and ask if it would be possible to add a couple of more staff on the ticket booth. I guess with 250 people already on the hill they probably couldn't care less about anyone else being there. Finally after 50 minutes of frustration we got our tickets only to discover that a new rule was put in force and our two grandchildren under 12 had to have a helmet (nice money grab guys!). So after paying damn $85.00 we proceeded to the hill only to discover that there were 6 lineups with about 40 people in each one. So needless to say it was a long exacerbating situation for hundreds of people. Their system for moving the sliders (customers) away from the bottom of the hill was non-existent. So, it took 30 seconds to slide down the hill and approximately another 1 1/2 minute for all 3 lanes to clear before the next group could be released. So, we were at least 20 - 25 minutes just standing in line waiting for a 30 second ride. It was so ridiculous that we left after 4 rides. Therefore each ride was over $5.00 each. BTW: they now have your ticket limited to a 2 hour session. So if you wanted more than 4 rides you have to go through the entire process again buying more tickets.. The grandkids had fun but couldn't understand why they weren't allowed to keep going; that bummed them out. I was planning to sit inside and have a drink and a bite to eat but their (River Valley) greed just irritated me so, we just left. I think a lot of other customers felt the same way because out of the 300 - 350 people wandering around, there was only a handful people eating. When an establishment charges $3.00 for a ten cent bottle of water, I simply walk away. My daughter and I commented about how foolish they are; if they made their prices and systems middle class family friendly, then they would have people returning multiple times throughout the winter. But this way they gouge the livin' shit out of you once and you never return; at least we won't!!

It was very crowded, and my kids couldn't see the animals they were excited about. The bathroom had a very long line, as well, and was very unsanitary. There were food trays everywhere, and no one was putting them away!! And Jordan's Forest was unsafe and unclean. My kids wanted to play at the splashpad, but I wouldn't let them because it was so dirty. The staff seemed miserable, and they seemed very annoyed whenever I asked questions!! We left early because my kids were bored and they didn't want to be there anymore. Will not be returning anytime soon. There are many things here that they need to change!!

The Windermere Manor is a quaint hotel nestled right outside of the Western Ontario University, in…read moreLondon Ontario. The hotel is actually owned by the university and boasts beautiful landscapes and centry old-buildings. The architecture of the hotel is beautiful - it looks like it was built in the late 1800s. The hotel is clean and quiet! The bedrooms are a bit outdated in style, and there aren't man frills to staying at this place. Rooms are decorated in the late 1970's decor - complete with floral wall paper and carpet, wood tables, and vintage nightstand lamps. But, that is what makes this place quaint and cute. You can sleep with your windows open and view the outside forrest and lake. If you are lucky, you'll see deer and other wildlife hanging around. Also unique about this manor is that they have bee-hives on location, which they sell fresh honey and hair products (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap) made of the bee's stuff. NICE! The best thing about this manor is that the staff are AMAZING! Starting at the front desk with Sarah - I think she is the front desk manager. Super friendly with a "Can Do" attitude. Her other staff members at the front desk - Catherine (and Gwen? Sorry, don't recall) - are also super happy. I especially like the fact that they were willing to help schedule rides and make dinner reservations for guests. [Side Joke: Sarah, build your staff the Yellow Brick Road!]. While there, dine at the Windermere Manor Cafe. Server / Manager Jason and his staff are SUPER friendly. The restaurant has some great food (I suggest the weekend buffet with prime rib, or the fish and chips off the regular menu). The servers are super nice and friendly.

I organized my wedding and ceremony for this site and the support I had from the staff here was…read morenothing less than perfect. Julie-Ann worked with me to make sure the event was a success, and she was very patient and helpful with all my questions. The setting here is really wonderful for a smaller wedding with an intimate, elegant tone. There isn't a great need to spend a lot on decorations because the space is already so beautiful, but staff here can recommend excellent event decorators and florists if you want one. The only drawback was the A/C wasn't working properly and it got very hot in the grand hall. I could tell the staff were working really hard to deal with the problem, and they did everything they could to keep people comfortable. They were consistently professional and friendly, which is a lot more than I can say for many banquet halls. The food served here was really quite something - the chef provided a Vegan and Vegetarian friendly buffet with options for meat lovers, and I had dozens of compliments over how tasty everything was and how much people enjoyed themselves. I'm so grateful this wonderful place offers reasonable rates with such exceptional service and support. Definitely consider holding your event here! There is plenty of free parking and I can't wait to come back here and stay in the hotel again on my anniversary!

The bowling itself wasn't bad, but there were some slight mechanical issues with the lane towards the end which cut into our time. We had one turn left each and the game cut off right before which was a bummer. We ordered some of their cocktails which were good but service was slow for sure. Place is great for kids and adults because there's also an arcade, ping pong, and pool tables but those cost extra. Looks like a fun place for birthday parties for kids. The lanes were cool because they had music videos playing above each lane which was fun. It was very hot in there though so don't wear a long sleeve shirt lol

I've been going to Tillsonview Fairways since my parents started dragging me out to play golf when…read moreI was a kid. I grew up with this place and I've definitely learned to love it! First off, the people here are SO friendly. If you are a beginner golfer, you will not feel out of place here. They are welcoming and obviously enjoy what they do. My parents are regulars at this course and know all the girls by name, know their stories, and even watch some of them grow up and move along. This course is great for someone who is looking for a leisurely game of golf that isn't too difficult. As someone who gets out a few times a year, this course is perfect. There are long holes, some short ones, and then the challenges with fields on the side, so you might lose a ball or two! The water hazards and sand traps are there but nothing too crazy. Most of the time though, you will most likely hit into another fairway as each hole is separated by pine trees. The porta-potties on the course are in really good shape too. There is a small pro shop here that sells clothing, gloves, clubs, bags, and carts. The prices are really decent and they have lots of sizes which is nice. The food here isn't anything to write home about but they have the standard hot dogs, burgers, roast beef sandwiches, cookies (they are YUMMY), chocolate bars, pepperettes, beer, coolers, spirits, and pop. They also have a girl going around on the cart. Tillsonview Fairways is probably THE course that made me like golf. It is great to play and the people are awesome!

The prosciutto and pear pizza was delicious, and the bleu cheese wasn't too overpowering. The kids chicken and fries was a perfect size and tasty. The only reason I didn't give all 5 stars was their Appetizer menu - it was seriously lacking (bread and butter, ribs, & charcuterie - were the only options). It would have been nice to have been able to order some nice shareables for the table with drinks while taking in the view rather than having to order pizzas or large dinner portions.

Our first visit to the restaurant at Oxford Hills golf course And what a…read morebeautiful facility. $20 pizza was a delicious blend of flavours however the $44 ribeye tasted like a salt lick. This 8oz steak did not come with potatoes or vegetables and therefore when you're eating dinner at 8:45pm and paying that price you eat it no matter how bad it is. The waitress took our concerns to the kitchen who passed it off as an oddly salty piece of meat - there was prosciutto on my pizza and it wasn't any where close to as salty as the ribeye. At no point did the manager come to the table to express his concern. Unfortunately we will not recommend this restaurant to friends or family and will not come back.

There was an ice cream store and a Starbucks opened when we were there. Several of the businesses were not open when we stopped by. There is a craft brewery on site as well as a restaurant, The Club House, and a distillery. We did not sample any of these as we were there early in the day. The Factory is an entertainment complex geared towards younger children. There is plenty for young kids to do including an escape room, trampoline park, high ropes course, zip line and virtual reality. Would be ideal for kids on a rainy cold day. It was nice to see the changes to this space and understand that they are building a hotel and concert area which should be a good draw.
