Wow, this place has everything! Bingemans is not just a waterpark, it has mini golf, beach…read morevolleyball, indoor play gym, bowling, arcades, canoeing and campgrounds. As we only visited the waterpark, my review will only be based on what my family experienced. Bingemans is located in Kitchener and is easily accessible from all directions. The waterpark opens at 10am and we got there at 11am and still got premium parking (like the 4th spot from the entrance). The park does allow for one bottled beverage per person and does not allow outside food, but I still snuck in a few granola bars and bear paws. To get to the waterpark, you enter this huge facility that houses the arcade and indoor play gym. As we only had passes to access the waterpark, the 3-story indoor play gym would be an additional $10.95 per child. The arcade is pay as you go. For the waterpark, there are only 3 tiers in terms of height restrictions - under 42", 42"-48", over 48". Unfortunately, my daughter was only one inch shy of 48" so the only thing she could do was the carpet slide (you can have up to 4 racers at once), wave pool and the splash and play area. The splash and play had the big tilting bucket that dumps a whole lot of water on you and 3 different set of slides. For a kiddie structure, the slides are quite fast and you do get wet once you hit the bottom. I felt totally comfortable letting my 5&6yo roam free on this structure. The waves in the wave pool was weak, but the walk in design plus the circular pool area made up for it. I didn't go on any of the tube rides but it looked like there's a line at the bottom of the slide where you wait for the next available tube, then carry the tube up the stairs and wait for your turn on the slide. There are plenty of chairs all around the park. We didn't use their showers or change rooms, so I can't comment on that. My only complaint, and it's a huge one, is that the water was ICE COLD! The temp today was close to 30 degrees Celsius, but the water was frigid. The kids didn't seem to mind when they're playing in the water, but once you get out or was like me, just walking through the water, it was quite cold. Please heat your wave pool!!! There's so much that Bingemans have to offer and I can totally see my family returning in the near future. I know they have Octoberfest, KinderFest and Scream Park coming up, so check them out!

I happened across this attraction while driving out to Waterloo. I didn't need to stay long and…read moredecided I'd visit on my way back home. It wasn't too hard to find off the highway. It was a summer weekday and although I figured it might have additional traffic with kids on school break, I could tell just by turning into the parking lot that it wasn't crowded. What I did find a little strange was the constant signage and website warnings to book tickets online and not on-site. I guess that might have been an issue in the past but it certainly wasn't a problem the day I visited. I paid my entrance fee and walked the short distance back to the conservatory area. There's really good signage to let you know what species you're seeing, and their habits. What I didn't think of was all the butterfly remains I'd see on the grounds...a little disconcerting at first but ok, what did I expect! The sanctuary is easily accessible. It's very warm and humid, but quiet with the hum of the waterfall. It was great that it was so quiet. There were maybe 2 dozen species of butterflies, and many species of trees and plants. At the back end of the conservatory, there's a counter with large, informative photos naming all the different butterflies and insects, and their distinctive characteristics. There were also pupa hanging, and staff to answer any questions. There were a couple of seating areas. After I had rounded the sanctuary a couple of times, I decided to sit on one of the rocks near the waterfall and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere. I then decided to check out the snack bar/cafe. The offerings included some lunch items and baked goods in addition to the usual beverage selections. One thing I encountered that is one of my pet peeves, is a place that charges full 13% HST on takeout food that's $4 or less. I brought it up to the staff and asked that they enlighten their management on how that works. This isn't some mom and pop corner store and they really should know better. Anyway the cafeteria is large and has plenty of seating space, plus a big patio area out in the back with acres of greenery to look at. There are also some swings and space for children to enjoy some fresh air outside. Last but not least, a visit to the gift shop is mandatory. They had tons and tons of preserved butterflies in frames. They also had a good selection of books and gift items. I liked that they were not the generic same old, same old you often see in other attractions' gift shops. I purchased a couple of things I will use as gifts in the future, and be happy that I won't have to worry they'll already have it or get it from someone else. I would love to revisit in future, and bring a friend with her young child. It's the absolute perfect place to spend a day or afternoon getting some light exercise, enjoying a slice of nature, and recharging your battery.
