Last Saturday, Gowan kicked off Peterborough Musicfest 2026 by performing at Del Crary Park. He launched Peterborough's Musicfest's 39th season. My best friend lives in Peterborough. It was perfect coming up to see her and both of us seeing Gowan perform. It was a free concert. The catch is that you need to bring a camping chair. My friend had two. Yay! She was kind to drive us over to the park. She parked on the street and we brought her camping chairs with us. The park is large to accommodate a ton of music fans. I liked that there was an ambulance by the park's entrance just in case. We got decent spots and plopped our chairs down. Folks were civil. There were guys walking around if you wanted a 50/50 ticket. They never got to us. My friend got samosas at one of the vendor tents. They looked amazing, stuffed full of beans, potatoes, onions, and corn. Gowan was amazing. He played and sang for nearly two hours. Such a great show! There are washrooms at this park. We didn't use them, but I'm glad they were there. Leaving was orderly and nice. I was impressed. I had a fantastic time at my first Peterborough Musicfest. I look forward to returning again. (277)

5/5 stars for a small town theatre. For years I'd drive by this theatre, wondering what it would be…read morelike on the inside. Well I had the luxury of seeing this classy, cozy, small and slightly dated theatre, where a family member performed in a play. It was a fun experience. Seating was quite spacious and comfortable at this theatre in comparison to the crowded seating that is sometimes less comfortable in the professional setting like those in bigger cities. See the photo :) The outside of the theatre with the bright lights, and the letter board make me feel like I've stepped back in time. It's quite tasty I think and attractive. See my photo. The front entrance is small, and can get slightly crowded, but no one is in a rush. It's the theatre and you're there for fun. So enjoy the decor, and the old fashioned ticket booths, it's a really cool experience. Again, take a peak at the photos. The main hallway again is not abundant in space, but maneuvering around all the intrigued spectators was easy enough. You won't get lost. There's a small concession stand in the main hallway right by the entrance to the upper balcony. Just outside of the doors to the theatre on a wall, is a nice collection of names commemorating the hard work of producers and writers and the like over the years. Quite nice I thought. Men's bathroom is downstairs and somewhat small be warned with two stalls and two urinals. There is a wheelchair accessible washroom on the main level. I think you'd enjoy your time if you're in town seeing anything here. Pretty fun place for the town of Lindsay.

I was here recently for a team building holiday visit with some clients…read more It's in an old barn type thing, and when you walk in, there is a counter with some candies and other small things to buy and a wall displaying posters of the current rooms to solve. We did Candy Factory Fiasco. It was a superbly built room, with fun props and sounds. The puzzles were challenging for sure, but not impossible so that it wasn't fun. We got stuck on one part, but used teamwork to solve it and we escaped the room with 5 minutes to spare. We didn't have to ask for a hint, either! There were lots of fun aspects to this room, and it really made me curious to try the other ones - hopefully I'll have the opportunity! Wonderful little escape room tucked away - they even accommodated our request to come during the day on a Wednesday. Now THAT is customer service!

This place helped renew my interest in escape rooms! It was loads of fun and very immersive…read more Location: It is located on a farm and it took a bit of a drive to get out there from the Toronto area. There's bean bag tossing to keep if you occupied if you're early. They also have some great horses and ponies nearby for you to admire too. Staff: Very nice and accommodating. We were delayed in getting there in time for our room booking but they were very sweet about it. Everyone is decked out in costumes that fit with the old timey theme. Loved every minute of it! Room: We did the Freakshow room and it was loads of fun. There isn't really any fancy tech, so it's just your old fashion escape room. I don't want to give too much away, but one of the great things here is excellent teamwork puzzles. Always had stuff to do and plenty of space to move around. I find too many rooms nowadays have a very linear fashion, and it gets very mundane when you all have to work on a single puzzle. Loved the theme, very great story, nice puzzles, would definitely return! Please note that they only accept cash.

When I picked the wallet up the next day the staff member told me the cleaners took it. I contacted customer service and I was told that they won't do anything because their code of conduct.
