We did our family pictures there and it was a nice relaxing day with the kids, they had fun running around and the visitor centre was very informative.

Excellent display of longhouses and aboriginal life. Museum is great for kids. Located in a conservation area with lots of walking trails and interesting vegetation.

This is a recreation of an actual first nations settlement in that area which in itself is very interesting but it's a long way in the middle of nowhere and it usually involves a fairly pokey tour with a lot of bored kids.

I think this is a place you should go once a year to keep your sense of history, or perhaps pre-history. They have a lot of programming and would be best to know what that is before you get there. The actual exhibits are okay but the interpreters are what makes this place interesting.

Once again, if you like to see how the native people lived way before the white man came, be sure not to miss this one. You can even take part in an archeological dig (great to teach kids). This year they have done some reno work on the site and it is better than ever.

I saw the sign and went in, I was please that I did.The site has a reconstruction of a village with a museum and films that you can choose to see.I had a good walk around and was able to see a side of history that I knew little about.

I have gone a number of time with friends and family. There are "Dig" sites and also standing structures which you can enter and see how our local Native Canadians lived back when. It is very interesting. It is not small and not huge, but has enough to offer to make for an interesting visit. I found it amazing to know that this was right in my back yard.

hidden gem - has nice museum and displays of native artifacts, also large warehouse of items and uptodate imaging technology - certainly worth a trip

I have been photographing and visiting this lovely place for 25 years. I bring all my visitors from Europe and Canada to this place. The bridge is spectacular in the fall, when you can walk through the treetops. It would be perfect if there was a nice outdoor washroom for the hikers.

Explore a wonderful reconstruction of a First Nation Village with longhouses, drying racks, storage areas and lookout areas and much more. I ended up here between school groups so spent a little time imagining what it would be like to live like this. I even know some Iroquois songs and couldn't help but sing them! The museum area in the resource building has some interesting artifacts and information. I didn't visit the hands on area downstairs as there were a few school groups there and it was a bit crowded, but that's ok. There are a few trails to hike (I even saw a fox!) and one could spend a whole day here or just an hour - but a nice piece of history to step back into and enjoy!

It is a rare opportunity to witness and experience a true First Nation Village. To actually see and experience far exceeds just reading or seeing photos. One can truly sense the bond with nature that they had.

This is a popular place to go for elementary school field trips. There are interesting activities for children to do and the staff seem quite knowledgeable about native Canadian life. All of the activities are outside, so it is wise not to go on cold or rainy days if at all possible.
