J	John Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the first time I visited Bellevue house and good to bring the kids here to learn about history and how people live 150 years ago. Staffs are very friendly and it is a relaxing environment. Must visit if you travel to Kingston.
J	Joey Peterpaul (NDN JOE , #ndnjoe) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I arrived a little late, they were getting ready to close, had about 45 min to take some pics and ask some questions. A great Fist Nations exhibit in the first building. Great place to learn about how Canada was formed and how settlers first lived here in North America in the Olden days.
J	Janine Baillie-Roos on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Took a great tour through this property. We were there in the summer months where there are guided tours, all in costume from the correct time period. There was a lot of valuable information presented by our guide who was very good. I would suggest paying the nominal amount to get the guided tour as it made it much more enjoyable.
A	Abner King on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the former residence of Canada’s first prime minister. There are three service staff and free tours, but at present it can only be visited in the garden. The house is under renovation and cannot be entered temporarily. The door opens at 9 am and closes at 4 pm.
N	Nagabandi Dheeraj Kumar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting old place to visit. The house is under renovation when I visited and it was free entree. The people are so good inside. There is a free tea coffee with chance to taste the food grown in yard organic. There are toys displayed that were remade to look like how toys were then. There is a pretty old tree in the back yard. Worth watching!!
I	Ixie A. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Museum personnel made this a great place to visit, even during renovations! Visitors are happily welcomed to explore the site grounds on their own, including the garden, or, with museum personnel who make the guided tours much more fun and interactive! We look forward to visiting again when the house is open, as well as to explore the updated exhibits.
C	Corinne Babiolakis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had a fantastic time exploring the Bellevue House this past weekend! All of the staff onsite are outstanding. They are highly knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. It’s clear that they want every person who visits to have the best experience possible. I thoroughly enjoyed learning all sorts of interesting facts about the history of the house (i.e., specific ways the house was designed to appear more lavish than it really was) and exploring the beautiful garden (i.e., kiss-me-over-the-garden-gate, lamb’s ear). Thank you to all of the lovely ladies at the house and visitor’s centre – you made it a wonderful experience for me. ?
R	Roman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The house is now under renovation. However, you can explore the historical gardens and small museum inside the visitor center free of charge. Museum’s staff is super welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to find out a history of the house in a very entertaining way. We will come back once Bellevue House will reopen its doors to the public.
