Enjoyed it very much but warn people that it can be busy. We had 2800 school children viewing it at the same time. It is also a fair weather event.
-Joan Merriam, London, ON jamestown
We went as a school group. We were 42 in all. We had a very good time and the 8th graders enjoyed this trip alot. It was very educational and entertaining. We would definitely suggest this place for any school group. Thank you!
-tammy, louisiana
This was quite an enjoyable addition to our trip. Fantastic museum and center (very modern bdlg-begin there) and visit atrip into our heritage. An Indian village, a large military fort, sailing ships from the past and colonists, soldiers and Indians to act the part. The original sites have a glass blowing exhibition (quite unique), outline of a church's ruins and the shore line (more adult type info.)
