Reviews of Grandpa's Antique Photo Studio (Costumes)

Lucky

Heather Calder

Friendly staff. Great pictures. Lots of fun.

Mr. Beedz

Pros: Great service, great selection of props and backgrounds, great photo quality Cons: extremely expensive for one photo ($100), staff didn’t seem to ensure the “best” possible photo (example: my child’s pant leg was visible under his costume and a wall plug was visible in a “pre electricity” era photo. Also, they kept forcing my son to wear a hat when I kept saying I didn’t want him wearing a hat). That said, they did an excellent job overall.

While I love the photos I got and they provide. The customer service was not the best. The girls were not friendly at all. In fact, they made it so obvious they didn't want to be there (was a couple hours before closing) anymore, it became awkward. Hence the stars rating.

Andrey Smirnov

So much fun and great experience!

Mandy Goodine

Love it can’t wait to go again

Sheldon Donovan

Amazing place to get immersed in the photo

H.D. Eric

Our pictures turned out great! The staff were friendly and we were in and out in just over a half our. We will go back!

Layout is amazing, concept is amazing, service is so/so we were very rushed, didn’t like any of the photos a lot my sons eyes were closed or mine but had to purchase package anyways. $81 for 1 picture.

Picture turned out very well, lots of options for scenes and outfits, but staff seemed disorganized, were unpleasant, and had poor communication as to where to go, what to do, etc. The process of getting dressed and taking the photos felt rushed and awkward... bored staff members watching with bored faces, there was no enthusiasm for their job. Yes it is expensive, but it is a cool keepsake to have. 2 stars because service needs improvement.

The prices are a bit high for family photos, but considering the fact they include costumes and props I would consider it a good value. You could tell that the staff was very busy, but they were very efficient and helpful. My daughter is already planning what scene she wants to do on our next visit.

Erin Camick

Beautiful pictures they take

Patrick Flowers

My wife absolutely loves this place. We have gone here to have pictures done quite a few times over the years. It's a unique service that they offer but be prepared to pay for it.

Gordon Keen

I haven't gone yet. Hoping to this summer I hear a lot of great things

The Rev. Stratton Phillips

As most people are saying...unique experience but very pricey. We came as a family and were more than satisfied with the quality of prints we received however, the pricing makes it something you only want to do once.

Eric Hind

Quick service. Super professional and friendly

Manon Lamontagne

Wow

Stacey Sabourin

It's loads of fun!! There are many choices of time periods to choose to dress up in, the staff are super friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is fun, and it's an amazing souvenir! I have already gone twice and plan to go again!

Bob Morton

Thisnis a fun place to go. We went for the first time and were expected to know what we wanted etc. We were not given much direction or time to consider and it was very expensive. However the pics did turn out awesome and next time perhaps will.be better now that I know what we are doing

sandra mcintyre

I dont even want give this place any stars because I never got yo experience it. I drove all the way from Nova Scotia to have pictured taken only to read a sign on the door to say closed for 2020. Their website doesn't say they are closed.

Dmitry Statnikov

It was a nice session. Good choice of scenes and costumes and they really try to make you look good. Good memory photo. Pricy.

CC G

This experience was a lot of fun for our family. Yes, it's pricey, but the staff is really well organized, the costumes and props are awesome and the quality of the photos was good. Definitely recommend!!!

Laurie Verwey

Very friendly, professional staff but way too pricey, especially for group photos

Gary Cleal

If you enjoy getting dressed up in old costumes and getting your picture taken this is a great place to visit. They have several different sets to choose from, you can do something funny or more serious.

Sara Meulenaar

A must stop on your East coast adventure. Can be busy at times but well worth the wait

Gurb Dhinsa

Must do if you are visiting PEI. The staff is super helpful and you will get a nice keepsake.

Tabatha Gabriel

Had so much fun dressing up and getting our picture done! A great keep sake from our trip!

Gerry Sheppard

Always like it here. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are a little steep but no worse than any other studio.

Meghan Burry

Working here for the past five years has given me some of the best experiences of my life! Meeting people from all over the world and getting to help them create memories is absolutely priceless. I would highly recommend coming to Grandpa's for any occasion! Some people argue that the prices are "too expensive," but I can genuinely attest to the fact that the staff are professional, friendly, and compassionate. The work that goes into creating these photos is much more than meats the eye. At the end of the day, can you really even put a price on a fun experience and authentic memories? Hope you all enjoy! Now that I am no longer a staff member, I can certainly say that I will be back as a customer in summers to come.

Chris Anstey

Duster One

Nice pics but extremely expensive

Lisa Mac Neil

Fun but a bit pricey for what you get.

Diane Barlatti

(Translated) Very nice place to take old photos, real scenery lots of period costumes ranging from baby to adults and even your pet can be part of the picture. By cons the wait is long but guaranteed to go out with very beautiful photos. (Original) Très belle place pour prendre de vieille photos, de vrai décors beaucoup de costumes d'époque allant de bébé à adultes et même votre animal de compagnie peux faire parti de la photo. Par contre l'attente est longue mais assuré d'y sortir avec de très belle photos.

Christine Bourque (Chriboo)

Great pictures, but outrageous prices. Copies are a fortune, and if you want more than just one version of one photo... And they do not give the digital files, only prints. Service is good, costumes are nice. Just wish the prices were more reasonable.

Zachary Burlap

Not cheap, but worth it. We get a family photo every year. Staff are professional, options are endless, and the whole process goes quicker than you would think.

James Strachan

Very nice staff and a very fun experience!
