I would allow 3 hours. It seems that exhibits rotate. When we went, there were a few major sections. 1.) A section on prohibition and bars in the area historically 2.) A reconstruction of the Owen Sound area in about 1850, then 1880, then about 1910 - outdoor area with several buildings/guides/things to see - about 16 buildings - takes a while - covers the 3 eras 3.) A section on the Ice Age - including things to read/quizzes/games/interactive exhibits 4.) A section on printing through the ages and the furniture industry history for the area

We went to this village on a sunny Saturday afternoon. We finished a mass on Martyrs' Shrine at…read morenoon, then using the receipt to enter this village for free. We arrived here around 3:30pm that there was a presentation about 17th century medicine at the back of the village. We got the map and ran over to the hospital location. We waited a bit for more people. The presentation was quite interesting and understandable. We couldn't believe how bad the medical knowledge was in old days. It took about 15 minutes. Then we went back to the entrance for the movie. It was like the introduction about the old days of wonda and the history. Then the garage door was opened, we could start our journey. We could follow the numbers on the map or we could pick and choose to visit, somehow we were running of the time. So we picked some spots to check on. The cemetery and the church, garden, iron shop... some of the places do have one or two staff could tell you more information. We must say you need more time to spend in the village, 1 or 2 hours are not enough. This place is worth to come again.

We enjoyed our visit. There's lots to see, and it will appeal to almost all ages. And it's…read morefascinating to think what life would have been like living here when the community was first settled all those hundreds of years ago. There's lots of staff around to answer questions and provide insight into the various buildings you're visiting. Additionally, there's many activities to try, like roasting bannock bread over a fire, writing with feathers, or old age carpentry tools, as well as iron work demonstrations.

At one site, the two staff in costume invited us to join them for a game of snakes and ladders, using old style canvas 'game board' and old time wooden spin wheel as the dice, in their living room where they are 'baking' cinnamon loaf in their real wood fireplace ! Unique experience we had there.

Arrived by boat and there is plenty of FREE slips available during the day for visiting vessels. In early August we were only the 2nd boat on the dock all day and maybe another 6 taking shelter in the bay at anchor. The thing is this information is published no where and even the Information Ctr a couple KM away had to phone them to find out. The Park itself is reasonably priced and seems to employ a good number of the local seasonal student workers. Facilities were all maintained top notch and enjoyed exploring the vessels and buildings. As we walked the grounds for around 4 hours all the staff were in period costumes and extremely knowledgeable of the history and helpful with all questions. I was quite impressed with their genuine interest in the sites historical value and did their best to make sure the visitors enjoyed themselves. So well done staff, thanks!

I love interesting art galleries. Visited Art Gallery of Ontario to squander a few hours while…read morevisiting Toronto. Nice day (it was raining) to spend inside and look at pretty sculptures. I absolutely loved the price point of the gallery and I loved that my ticket would last from opening until closing and that I would be able to leave and come back on that one ticket. Other galleries need to take heed to this. Really a self-guided tour through all exhibits with little interruptions from staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the Kusama exhibit, just wish I was able to stay inside longer than one minute (especially on a day like when I visited and the gallery was not exactly crowded). Enjoyed the exhibits outside as well and will definitely be back to see any new installations that may come.
