    This is my second visit. I loved the cheese cake. Staff are very friendly even though we waited fir 45 mins for our order but the time passed by while we are taking pictures of the beautiful place. Price is fair. Come here with reservation.

    With summer ending we decided to explore our own backyard and came across Parkwood Estate. Upon driving there we weren't quite sure if we were in the right place considering there was a hospital in view right next to it however once you walk through the first hedge everything changes. The grounds were immaculate, you could wander through the hedges and garden for free. At the very end of the garden is the beautiful fountain where the Tea House restaurant lies. The grounds are pet friendly and the restaurant were kind enough to accommodate our dog as well. We were luckily seated at the end of the fountain and had a spectacular view however our seats did not have much shade. For lunch we tried the Caesar salad, chicken pot pie, 4 cheese grill, hot roast beef wrap and quiche. By the time we got there ~11:45AM, they only had one pot pie and select quiches left so arrive early! The food was great but I wish the pot pie came in some type of dish as it was a bit difficult getting the filling and pastry in each bite. The Caesar salad was also nothing to write home about and lacked flavour. All in all we had a great experience at the estate and the restaurant. We would love to come back here next year and try more dishes on the menu. Side note there were a lot of wasps when we were eating there, if you have a fear or allergy to them I would proceed with caution.

    A lovely morning in the Parkwood estate having breakfast. We ordered a Reuben Panini sandwich which was made with pumpernickel bread and I had mixta and chip on the side. Also a Brie grilled cheese sandwich with sourdough bread that had apple chutney in it. Oh everything was so delicious! For dessert we had cheese cake and wine, gotta say it was a nice treat overall. My slight complaint was that we were seated in direct sunlight on a hot day with no umbrella. We asked to be moved they said everything was reserved mind you we were the first guest to arrive and only ones there for a good amount of time. The manager gave us a standoff-ish look from the moment we arrived and rushed over to the waiter to tell him not to move us when he started to look for a new spot. We moved our table ourselves to squeeze towards a corner that had a little shade. If this was a family restaurant maybe this would have been my last time going... Aside from that, we think the entire Parkwood estate is a gem in the city!

    Interesting place to visit!

    Visited on October 20th. Delightful place. The grounds are gorgeous and the rich history of the estate is very interesting. Our guide, I think her name was Vida, was so very knowledgeable - as if she knew them personally! The ladies in the gift shop were extremely friendly and nice. The gift shop itself is full of wonderful gift items. I grabbed the last tour spot available that day and so glad I went!!

    I enjoy unexpected finds. My friend and I were hanging out at Lakeview Park Beach for the first…read moretime. We were walking around and found Oshawa Museum. It's seamlessly integrated with the park, steps away from the beach. During the pandemic, the museum is closed. I'd love to come back and check out the museum itself. The roof over to the main entrance has a low clearance. I barely got in there without slouching. I'd guess that it's a six-foot clearance. If you're tall, take note or you'll bang your head on it easily. Although you can't go inside the museum, we did an outdoor, self-guided tour. It can be done. We had a great time figuring things out and learning together. There were plenty of signs and historical plaque to help us out. The Wilson family was Oshawa's first pioneers back in 1790. Captain Benjamin Wilson headed over to Oshawa with his family from Vermont. There is a blue spruce tree planted in their honour. We then came across Guy House. Named after James Odgers Guy, he immigrated with his parents from England to Canada. His parents owned a farm and ultimately bred ayrshires (cattle). James married and raised seven children, and settled at what we now know as Guy House. He built a coal dealership in Oshawa, and grain elevators in Brooklin and Myrtle. He also held a bunch of community positions. There's also Henry House. Named after Thomas Henry, he moved from Ireland to Canada with his wife and seven children back in 1811. They purchased a farm that is now Lakeview Park. He remarried after his first wife died of consumption. Thomas became an ordained minister. He build a stone house, which is still in Lakeview Park. There's a cool shed that makes up Oshawa Museum. Oshawa is known for its manufacturing history. The museum is nicely maintained. We spent some time admiring the sundial and buggy in Henry House's backyard. Pretty flowers were blooming everywhere. There was not a single dandelion is sight. Impressive! We had a great time exploring, reading, and learning. It was nice to do all of it on a warm summer evening. I hope to return and go into the houses when the museum reopens. (262)

    From the owner: For over 60 years, the Oshawa Museum (OM) has celebrated our City's history with engaging events,…read moreinspiring exhibits, and an immense collection of archival materials. Nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario in beautiful Lakeview Park, the OM tells the story of Oshawa from Indigenous inhabitants to present day. Home to Oshawa's history, the OM is managed by the Oshawa Historical Society.
