A lot of work and forethought has gone into the pieces by students as the museum is a program for Sir Sandford Fleming College. The man on staff was very kind and passionate about the work which was refreshing to see. Admission is free and the experience is worth the trip out.

The people were so grateful that they provided the labor to build this two story house in 1836-37. A guided tour is provided by the Peterborough Historical Society. The best part I really like is their afternoon tea service included. Hot or iced tea, lemonade, oatcakes, scone, jams, butter, whipped cream are first rate. They sell the jams also. Lunch service is available for CAD 24. Admission is CAD 7. Tours: June-September Tues-Sun 1pm-4pm, October-May Tue-Fri 9am-5pm

No matter the season, once you visit you almost feel that you could slip back in time, and move right in. Well worth it, in every way!

Featuring twenty-one professional grade Brunswick pool tables, Petrina's combines the fun of a pool hall with the atmosphere of a sports bar (complete with HDTV monitors throughout). They offer a full service dining and drinking menu (featuring 10 tequilas, 10 bourbons and 15 single malt scotches!) and a number of draft beers on tap. There's also plenty of lounge space to kick back and relax.

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.

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)

Our stay at Tudor Pines was unplanned. We initially were staying at another property a bit further…read morenorth but were so disappointed that we bailed after the first night. Homeless, we spent breakfast browsing the web looking for an alternative. While not B&B people, we thought Tudor Pines looked pretty good and would be worth a visit. We're so glad we did. Having stayed three nights, we unreservedly recommend Tudor Pines to anyone looking for a B&B in the Port Perry/Uxbridge region Thank you, Kris, for a super stay. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. From your warm welcome and hospitality to the Friday afternoon on the boat, we'll cherish this trip for a long time. Your home is beautiful (and spotless) and your attention to detail is much appreciated. You were able to be supportive and unobtrusive at the same time; no easy feat. We'll certainly book again when we're back in the area.
