We arrived at 09.30hrs and remained until closing time 16.30hrs. It takes a whole day to see and visit the whole village. It really felt as if we had gone back in time. It is so well kept. No electricity, no modern technic. All is as it was. In every house shop or trade you find persons dressed and in... More

It's not that Black Creek Pioneer Village is not cool for children but honnestly you are paying way too much for this not so authentic village. We went for Doors Open Toronto and it was packed like crazy with dumb people feeding animals which is 100% forbidden. Ok that has nothing to do with the attraction itself but there is... More

Great for the kids, but a little out of the way. Worth the trip if you're spending the whole day there.

This is one of my favourite year round places to visit. It's away from the heart of Toronto but worth the trip back in time. The staff, who are dressed in traditional pioneer fashion, live in a village that is modeled after an authentic village of its time. Taking part of some of the special events is always worth the...

This is a great family destination for those who want a quieter, more educational outdoor experience. There are many buildings representing what time was like in 1850s Ontario. Re-en actors show how people lived and worked in large varieties of everyday pioneer life. Some representations include a school, church. blacksmith, doctor's house. town hall, general store, post office, furniture maker,... More

This is a fun and educational place to visit if you love the rustic life and history. As a previous student of Victorian literature, it was cool to see the houses and way of life back then as they are described in the old novels. Give yourself a few hours to walk around this place if you want to check... More

We had a great day yesterday at Black Creek Pioneer Village with the grandkids. The very knowledgable "workers" in each log cabin very carefully explained the details of each pioneer experience.. weaving, horseshoe and iron works, doctor's office and house, raising sheep and goats, tinworks, and more. No school though, that we saw. We also understand that there is a... More

The staff is cold. The prices are outrageous. Attractions are not nice. They treat you like children. The French onion soup is absolutely horrendous

I was always forced to go here on school trips. I dislike it more every time. Every time I've gone I have gotten covered in mud, the whole village smells, but that could just be Toronto. The guides don't know there facts and obvisiously aren't fans of kids. There's other educational places to go.
