Best Historical landmark in Canada

W	W M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spent time there recently at the Pumpkin Inferno festival over halloween. Was very well done. Included the opportunity to visit the parade square with warming fires, "country couches" and many cut-out set pieces for spooky pictures.
H	Hemanshu Chourasia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing fort. This was one of the best Fort visits I ever had. The Museum is inside : well arranged, well described. They have people dressed as soldiers and villagers explaining different dress codes and roles. The history of the fort is told by them and they really narrate very well. We saw the musical demonstration and the demonstration of the Canon.
D	David Wolder on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting place, but don't wait until the last hour to arrive like we did. It takes more time than this to see the Fort. My only complaint is there is no sidewalk up to the Fort from the main road which is an odd omission, especially considering it's only 30 min walk from downtown..
A	Amanda Huang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful historic fort! The displays were well-done and plaques were very informative. I learned a lot during my visit. The view of Kingston and Lake Ontario from the top of the fort is incredible. There are people in era-appropriate costumes to answer any questions. General admission price is reasonable and there is lots of free parking available. Unfortunately, I came on a rainy day so there was no rifle demonstration. Dress appropriately as there are indoor and outdoor walking portions of the self-guided tour. Maps are provided when you check-in but you don't really need it because there are arrows to guide you through. Despite the ongoing pandemic situation, I felt safe visiting. There are hand sanitizers available and enough space to distance yourself from another group. Would recommend to my history-loving friends!

s	shubham malik on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice historical fort, takes you back to 19th century culture. Lots of cannon of that time, the king’s cutlery, chairs etc are on display. The place has a general admission fees of 15$, and offers free parking. Outside view is great to enjoy Lake Ontario views, wolf island visible from here, decent place to enjoy your evening. Best part of the fort is, in Kingston it is used for festivals and carnivals, like Pumpkin Inferno (pics at the end) and Light Borealis. That’s another reason to visit it in night.
M	Mridul Pathak on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing place to visit, a glimpse into the empire's past! Everyone is super nice, answer any question you ask them and the demonstrations are soo good, detailed and informative!!!
A	Ada Kirkwood on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great time! The staff are dressed up and teach you all about the place while keeping people entertained and happy. Live riffles and cannon demonstrated which was so cool! Good for any age! They have everything from artifacts to bread made right there in the fort! I got some pictures from on the roof and even though it was raining when I went it was still something I'll never forget! A great experience!
