I happened across this attraction while driving out to Waterloo. I didn't need to stay long and…read moredecided I'd visit on my way back home. It wasn't too hard to find off the highway. It was a summer weekday and although I figured it might have additional traffic with kids on school break, I could tell just by turning into the parking lot that it wasn't crowded. What I did find a little strange was the constant signage and website warnings to book tickets online and not on-site. I guess that might have been an issue in the past but it certainly wasn't a problem the day I visited. I paid my entrance fee and walked the short distance back to the conservatory area. There's really good signage to let you know what species you're seeing, and their habits. What I didn't think of was all the butterfly remains I'd see on the grounds...a little disconcerting at first but ok, what did I expect! The sanctuary is easily accessible. It's very warm and humid, but quiet with the hum of the waterfall. It was great that it was so quiet. There were maybe 2 dozen species of butterflies, and many species of trees and plants. At the back end of the conservatory, there's a counter with large, informative photos naming all the different butterflies and insects, and their distinctive characteristics. There were also pupa hanging, and staff to answer any questions. There were a couple of seating areas. After I had rounded the sanctuary a couple of times, I decided to sit on one of the rocks near the waterfall and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere. I then decided to check out the snack bar/cafe. The offerings included some lunch items and baked goods in addition to the usual beverage selections. One thing I encountered that is one of my pet peeves, is a place that charges full 13% HST on takeout food that's $4 or less. I brought it up to the staff and asked that they enlighten their management on how that works. This isn't some mom and pop corner store and they really should know better. Anyway the cafeteria is large and has plenty of seating space, plus a big patio area out in the back with acres of greenery to look at. There are also some swings and space for children to enjoy some fresh air outside. Last but not least, a visit to the gift shop is mandatory. They had tons and tons of preserved butterflies in frames. They also had a good selection of books and gift items. I liked that they were not the generic same old, same old you often see in other attractions' gift shops. I purchased a couple of things I will use as gifts in the future, and be happy that I won't have to worry they'll already have it or get it from someone else. I would love to revisit in future, and bring a friend with her young child. It's the absolute perfect place to spend a day or afternoon getting some light exercise, enjoying a slice of nature, and recharging your battery.

DO NOT BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! My first impression was great, the venue grounds are beautiful and…read moreeverything seemed so pleasing. After leaving my hefty deposit, they ignored my phone calls and emails for two weeks when having trouble securing hotels for my guests. They failed to mention that the weekend of my wedding is the Home Hardware Convention; ALL the hotels in the surrounding cities are booked. No one returned any of my calls or emails when trying to change my date. My trust with them diminished.They are not professional, educated or buisness-oriented. The owner spoke to my mother rudely and refused to compromise on returning some of the deposit given their lack of work on the wedding. I would rather lose my deposit than give them any more money. Brides and Grooms, RUN!

Highly recommend Amy…read moredid an amazing job helping me with my daughters wedding. I hired her for Day Of, not to do all the wedding planning. However, she went above and beyond and was available to answer questions and help seek out anything I couldn't find during the whole planning process and for no extra charge. Her pricing is extremely reasonable even for her accessories that are available to rent. She was very easy to work with, extremely knowledgable about her craft, highly organized and impeccably professional. Her preparations and itinerary left us feeling calm and able to enjoy the day knowing that she had, along with her staffer Nicolette, everything under control. She was so professisonal that we heard nothing of what may have and most certainly did go wrong, it was just handled. She made sure that the only think I had to worry about was where my next glass of wine was coming from. I highly recommend to anyone anywhere, if they need a Wedding Coordinator, look no further. This is who you should hire. It was the perfect day for my daughter and Son-In-Law and I can't thank Amy and her staff at Unmistakably You enough for making it so special. Thank you from the Entire New and Marino Clan. Lisa N.

Unreal. Awesome. Highly recommend…read more Amy did a wonderful job with our wedding. My wife and I lived out of country and it would have been an impossible task otherwise. We met with Amy whenever we could/whenever we were in the country, but a lot of our interactions were via Skype/Facetime given the distance issue. As the wedding approached Amy was impeccable getting last minute details locked down and made it as stress free as could be. She was organized, timely, and thoughtful and went the extra mile. Anything that was in her hands went smoothly. Thank you for being awesome!

They offer valet parking onsite, otherwise there are many city-owned (free after 6pm) and private lots that are located nearby and accessible. They have a restaurant (Isabelle Restaurant) and cafe (Pearle's Cafe) located on the second floor, right above the main lobby area. We visited the cafe to grab a small snack and drink before heading over to the restaurant. There were lots of seating available!
