It takes about 2 hours to explore the grounds starting with the entrance from the Region of Waterloo Museum which is connected to the Doon Heritage Village on Huron Road. Staff are wonderful at answering questions and showing how the old tools and equipment were used back then. Some of the old tools are just rock solid and will last forever. Wood was the primary construction materials used for building. This explains why fire insurance was a fast growing business. Insurance companies in the Region thrived and made the economy grow in that sector for years to come. The Martin House is beautifully decorated inside and out. The family was of Old Order Mennonite religion. There were very conservative colour schemes used, and no mirrors were allowed in the home! The Old Post Office is connected to a custom tailor service in the same building. Our hostess explained how the one man operation (tailor and postmaster) was in charge of both businesses. Suits were made to order and were outfitted with ties and cuff links. It was a profitable venture until the Eaton's catalogue business became more popular. The Dry Goods Grocery Store is "stocked" with canned goods and non-perishables such as soap and laundry detergent. Brand names included McCormicks and Heinz. Homes were equipped with a cast iron stove that kept the premises warmer in the winter months. Check out the feet of the stoves which were designed like ones you would find on vintage pianos. Very enjoyable afternoon spent and we learned a lot about early life and hard work of the German community and how it all started in Kitchener (then known as Berlin).

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.

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!!

There was only one nice girl there, who shall remain private, but she found my lost son, and no one else helped. The donuts are pretty good, but other than that! This place is terrible! Horrendous business, do not go here! The staff are not accommodating, there is poop and pee and puke and rats - we're in the middle of Hanta, I cannot be getting a dang virus right now. I've got places to be. It's gross. Bad. Bad experience. There is only one cow, and I feel him. Or her. How do you know what gender your cow is? Flip it over. Get under there. It takes one lil peek, you either see a hole or a peg, it's not rocket science. Jeez. The bees got out in the bathroom. My son is allergic, bad play on my part, taking him to a bee farm? Probably. But I was told the bees would be contained. Not my fault. Shoddy craftsmanship. Never coming back. I'll get my donuts elsewhere. 0/10.
