Belleville

(in Canada > Ontario)

Worth visiting!

Bit of a trip...

...from where I live, but it was a pleasant drive. We went to visit some friends and had a nice afternoon together. It’s a nice looking city with lovely countryside.


Ripley's Museum

Worth visiting!

Fascinating

Some of the things to see in Ripley’s really are a Believe it or not moment. I’ve been here TWICE and each time it’s like you can’t see it all. If you have the money (we had coupons that got us in free BOTH times! very lucky us!) this is sure worth it!

A word about the shadow picture taker – my friends and I had SO MUCH fun with that thing! It was awesome and probably my favorite part in the whole museum.


Dunnville

(in Canada > Ontario)
How this place changed my life

Dunnville is just a quiet, unassuming little town. Most of Dunnville is made up of cattle farms and country properties. The downtown area isn’t much, either. It’s not exactly a “blink and you miss it” place, but this sweet little town isn’t eye catching, either.

My son was born here, under the Dunnville midwives wonderful care in their clinic. My husband and I attended Lamaze classes in Dunnville, too, and we are going for the class reunion shortly.

Our vet clinic is located here, and I have spent many a sleepless 2 am driving with my mom to their clinic to have an emergency c-section on one of her pugs.

The people in Dunnville are different. I’ve heard it said that Canadians are friendly to begin with, but even just going into the McDonalds and out again with a full order will prompt the cashier to ask you if you need assistance.

It is a bit of a drive for us, but it’s what you call a scenic drive. I love Dunnville and while there aren’t any specific landmarks or attractions (that I know of at least), a day trip to Dunnville is always a pleasure.


Timmins

(in Canada > Ontario)

Worth visiting!

The birthplace of

Shania Twain as well as my dad. We went there when I was 8 for my grandfather’s funeral, and we got to see where my dad grew up.


Butterfly Conservatory

Not worth visiting!

It's nice

but I found it boring. Maybe our timing was bad, but ther butterflies just really weren’t that active. And it was SO pricey!


Marineland

Worth visiting!

I've always enjoyed

Marineland, even though IT IS EXPENSIVE!


Maid Of The Mist

Worth visiting!

I ALWAYS

recommend The Maid of the Mist. Seeing the Falls is awesome in itself, but this is like icing on the cake. Some of the other tourist attractions aren’t really worth it, but this REALLY is.
