They really go above and beyond to help you enjoy your time with them! If you haven't signed up for a dive trip with them you definitely want to!! It was a great week of diving this last winter in Cozumel and SOOOO looking forward to the next trip with the group!!

This shop promises more than it can deliver. I found that many of the things that were promised to…read moreme by Tim never happened and then I found out that he could not make them happen and yet promised them to me anyway. There is a lack of safety concerning some of their diving practices. Like this past summer taking a group of divers on two back to back 100 + foot dives, which ended in one of his divers being taken away to the hyperbaric chamber. He has middle of the road equipment that is often over priced. Which is why so many of his students choose to buy much of their gear online instead of through him. Though the real killer of Tim's Diving Supplies in the elitist dive group that has grown up around Tim's. If you are not an insider you are treated poorly and even made fun of on dives. Over all I think most people would be better off travelling a little farther to go to another shop.

The parking lot is a short walk to the sandy beach. There are some rocks when entering the lake but…read morethey aren't a problem if you wear water shoes. The water is shallow and safe. In June the water is cold but your body will adapt quickly on a warm day. Power boats aren't allowed in the roped off swimming area. There are picnic tables and a general store that sells fast food and souvenirs. The bathrooms are fairly clean with flush toilets, sinks and mirrors. The park also has change rooms. They offer educational sessions for children at certain times. The only thing keeping me from giving this provincial park 5 stars is the reservation process. Once you reserve a day pass, you can't get a refund if the weather forecast changes to cold or rainy and you can't even move your reservation to another date. So your money is lost. But if you don't reserve in advance for a Saturday or Sunday in the summer, there's a chance they will be full. The website doesn't give a price for seniors. There is a discount but it's well hidden.

For the Tree Trekking all customers are by appointment. Your are time slotted for instructional…read morelessons on how to use your equipment safely. After that you are instructed to start on the easiest courses and work your way through. What is not disclosed is that you have to sign an additional waiver when your inside (aside from the one on arrival). The odd thing is that it is just a notebook and the student employees just ask you did you do all the other courses before attempt the most advanced course. It's pretty loosey goosey, instead of this system a stamp system should be used or a passport system because if they are using this for liability is a signature request under duress (is what I understand from my legal eagle knowledge). Considering the risk, I would say more needs to be done. The whole course are supervised and the summer hired students are trained to radio each other when a new person is going on the course. The two customer limit on platform are loosely reinforced. I did find that some of the platforms were short on the landing for the mini zipline sections. And on the course the student hires warned us it's slippery because it was wet. Perhaps add some slip grips just because you're flying in at high speed into the landing in some cases (especially when you're pretty large). Good things is that if you wanted the zipline experience you get it through the whole course. You can get away with just paying for the whole course. If you're a parent you may want to go in and just have a look how things are run before putting your kids through the track for the peace of mind. The other thing is that you also want to have a telephoto lens on your slr if you're watching from the ground or hookup your child with a go pro for the fun of watching later. Overall difficulty was intermediate. I think to level up try the course without holding on anything. This was my first time doing this. I would have preferred more physical challenges on the course. There are washrooms behind the sign in cabin. Two toilets in the female. But if you want cleaner go back to the resort. So I rated this four star for the following reason. 1. Price point is steep on a single visit, even with coupons. Season pass may be better; 2. The course liability on-site could be better, I just wonder what happened if there was an accident and if the location did enough to protect customers; 3. The course is full of student employees, surely trained well. But considering young kids on the course a few adult staff would make it feel safer. There were times when I know none if the staff we watching me because I was sloppy on the security straps-without realizing until my date warned me (thanks); 4. Washrooms are not clean on the premise of the trekking. Go to horseshoe resort.

This is a really nice park to go walking at all times of the day. There's a nice boardwalk along the waterfront, and some sandy beaches (which our dog wasn't allowed on, but they looked nice. It was all nicely maintained, with lots of places for trash and recycling, and not much trash to be seen anywhere. There are also plenty of benches for sitting and watching people and the boats on the water. It's also well lit, so walking at night was pleasant. There's also a cycle path that goes through the park, it's part of a larger system of paths that go all the way to Barrie and Midland.

Great little golf course out in Jackson's Point. This place has been here for decades (I think…read moremaybe even around a century), and is a nice 9 hole course for those of us who don't take our golf game too seriously. It's not an executive 9 hole, but it isn't a really long course either (about 2500 yards from the back tees). There's very little water and sand, but lots of trees around the outside of the course, while the inside is pretty wide open. They don't take tee times here, you just park, pay, and play. Sometimes you wait, sometimes you don't. I've never seen it crazy busy though. I've seen a couple of different people working here over the years, but I believe it's still a family run business. Everyone that mans the desk seems to be friendly and accommodating. Price is great. $17 for 9 holes, and an extra $6 if you want to go around again. The greens were in pretty rough shape this time around, but I think the weather this summer has wreaked havoc on many golf greens. I will definitely be back here, and it will remain my go to course for those days when I don't want to be too formal with my game

Minet's Point Park is a city park with a beach included. It…read moreis unsupervised, so use at your own risk. Alongside the kids swimming area, marked with buoys, there is a boat launch used by kayakers and made it fun to watch as you laze around the waterfront. The parking lot is right there, in direct view of the beach which is outstanding. A treed field adjoins the parking lot so nature is right there to greet you as you step out of your vehicle and take in the greenery. There is even a small picnic area that can accommodate the party grillers in the crowd, the ones that make everyone jealous with their delicious smelling griddles. As if that weren't enough to make this spot super family friendly, there is a young kids play structure directly behind the beach to top it off. There are some stones mixed in with the sand here, and some can't handle that so if it bothers you, then bring crocks or something to wear into the water. The swimming was good here with clean water and just a few waves that day from power boats going by. The bathroom is located further away near the park entrance, and the mens side at least was filthy and stank. You should avoid going in unless you have to. The view is nice looking at the north side of Barrie, with a side view of the end of Kempenfelt Bay, the harbour front downtown area with all the action happening. Nice view!
