Trip Highlights
Upper Canada Village "Alight At Night" Festival
Touring Upper Canada Village is a magical experience, transporting you back in time to the 1860s. A key part of the experience is the authentic buildings that make up the village, the activities that each housed, and of course, the people who lived there.
Founded in 1961, Upper Canada Village is one of the largest living-history sites in Canada. Here, Featured are over forty historical buildings, many moved here prior to flooding of the “Lost Villages” during the St. Lawrence Seaway development project. These include homes, functioning mills and trades workshops.
During the Alight At Night festival, the entire village is festooned with almost 1 million sparkling lights, making for a truly magical evening. Besides exploring the village, you can also take horse-drawn carriage rides, take holiday keepsake photos at the life-size carousel horses staged especially for picture-taking and when you're cold, warm with up beverages from the various cafes and restaurants dotting the property.

Maple Syrup Sugar Shack
Although it will be a bit earlier than the usual maple syrup sugaring season, we will be stopping at a maple syrup farm & sugar shack on our way back to Toronto.
Our visit includes a maple syrup tasting as well as a guided tour of the farm to learn all about how maple syrup is made. We will also be having a simple lunch at the farm. Lunch will consist of a pancakes, French toast, maple sausages, maple baked beans and choice of tea, coffee, hot chocolate or juice. |
The Big Apple
On our way back towards Toronto we will do a stop at The Big Apple for some shopping and a washroom break.
You will have a chance to shop for some delicious apple pies, apple bread, apple crumble, apple chips... well, you get the idea. They also have an extensive wine tasting, chocolate, baked goods, ice cream and tea/coffee section.
