You just can't beat this unique experience. Something for everyone!!
We love coming here!! Can't wait until the outdoor petting zoo opens for the season!!!
Very nice and wonderful visit to this amazing place located in heart of kingsville. I went there with my wife and 3 year old son. COVID precautions are there so anyone can visit. We went there but the unfortunately kids department was shut …
Great place to buy plants! So much variety of plants and pots! If not for the pandemic, they have animals you could interact with, mini golf course, and more family friendly activities. They have a restaurant here, now only for take out, where you must come by for their donuts! Must try their cinnamon sugar sprinkled donuts, they are so fluffy and delicious.
A fun place to visit. There is an amazing variety of merchandise for sale. Also the food is very good. The broasted chicken is wonderful and the poutine is great comfort food.
Great variety of activities to do. Lots to do and browse through. Animals, games, toys, flowers, go check it out! And awesome food and don’t forget the doughnuts!
The kids always have an awesome time. Well worth the 30 min drive. The rides are a bit on the expensive side for what is offered but everything else is well priced.
Same wonderful shopping experience. The arcade and petting zoo are still open. Sadly the kids rides are closed permanently. Look for a mid November Christmas banaza. Right now, their pumpkin flavored freshly baked donuts are a delicious treat.
Went through the haunted green house, it was awesome! The staff did an amazing job at putting it together. Great staff!
Always amazing. Food is always delicious. Fun activities, rides and arcade for kids. Elaborate choice of plants and flowers . Great family time.
Delicious
Fun place to visit for the kids. Lots to do and good food!
Colasanti's holiday decor area has a huge selection of unique items at reasonable price points. I was there to buy twenty smaller sized plants to use as shower gifts, and was happily surprised to see that they had amazing deals and a nice array of choices.
Awesome place that is sure to entertain. Been goin here for over 30 years. Great place for kids. Best Halloween haunted house and hayride around.
Colasanti's catered a church event I attended in Canada recently and they did a wonderful job. I had their broasted chicken for lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack. I brought some back across the border and family members also commented on how good the flavor was. I heard from others that Colasanti's is a nice place to visit. I'd like to check it out one day.
Got a lot of deals today so excited
A great place for family and friends. When I come home to visit, Colasanti's is on the list of places to see. I remember visiting as a young girl and I still enjoy the variety of plants, animals, and things to do. And you want to make sure you grab apple cider and cinnamon donuts, always fresh.
Great place for the kids and plants for the wife
It's is getting expensive to go and enjoy the day/afternoon. (21.00 per adult for the Sunday brunch buffet). The animals at the petting area were all sleeping and it like they are missing 90 percent of them. The service and staff is still amazing and wonderful just getting up there in price. We will not be going back as often as we usually do but will will return in a few months "maybe" .
Lazy staff.
When I was a kid we loved riding in the wagons, seeing the birds and animals and looking at greenhouse after greenhouse of plants. It was all about family time. Now this place is all about draining every last penny out of you. Arcades? Roller coasters? In a green house?!?! Everything has an admission fee. It's turned into a sad entertainment carnival.
Poor sad fat animals. The deer look like they are being held against their will. The goats are so fat they can hardly walk. The one goats horns were freshly cut off and it was walking into the wall. The food pellets you buy are violently eaten before you can put it in your cup. The games are extremely over priced. The rides are weak. Good outing for the family but it's not the same Colasanti's from my childhood.
Best place in the world, my best childhood memories are here.
A small-town, family-friendly destination for all ages. There's something for everyone here, from plants to animals to mini-golf. My toddler loved the petting zoo and smaller rides (caterpillar train and flying bees). I feel the prices are okay as it's expanded into more of a special occasion destination, and places like this cost money to run.
Wild game dinner fundraiser. Well done for 500 people. Good food and very organized
Great deals on spring plants. Safe pick up for all COVID-19 precautions.
Great place to visit for the whole family. Best homemade donuts in the region. Great food, the kids love the rides and mini Petting zoo.
Many years ago I loved to go there many time a years . Today is the 26 March 2021 , I know Covid is hard on every business. But Colansantis lost his charm . You can still enjoy good fresh donuts or food and find some plants . I might not drive 1 hour to go there for a long time . But hopefully the future is brighter .
Very fun for the family! A bit pricey, and sad they took away their free play areas for the kids. :( But kids had fun at the animal petting zoo still.
absolutely no kitchen staff work a mask. i feel very unsafe
So much selections of quality beautiful plants , flowers ,garden stuff and at reasonable prices at this Nursery. On top of that , their broaster chicken are the best , worth coming back & forth .
Good place for kids and even adults! Fries are super delicious too!
Ruthven apple fest is always a great time!
The chicken is real good. the pizza is not bad too.
Always a pleasure to come here places clean considering they have plants with dirt in them Staff is always pleasant and friendly and willing to help
Great ! Broasted chicken and fresh donuts to go ! ???? Best in the county ! ???? ????
I thought we were going to a greenhouse farm market, much more of a family place with lots of games, and delicious cafeteria food for all ages. Lots of wonderful trinkets for the home as well as lots of flowers and the largest variety of cactus plants I have ever seen.
We love Colasantis!! I personally wish the plant selection was larger as it used to be but I certainly understand the arcade being a huge source of revenue. Always a fun experience!
love the animals, wish they have a bigger rotation though. Maybe a kangaroo?
Nice place to take your kids
Been there twice, and both times most everything closed. You have to search for an operator to ride the rides you pay for. All was not running except restaurant. Student staff is their excuse. Was a rainy day, and water leaking all over inside the place. Adults have to pay to ride with the kids when they used to ride alone, which seems to be a new money grab. Advertise open 361 days a year, but our family say, should say only open on weekends. Not worth the drive from Sarnia.
A lovely place for people of all ages. The children can enjoy the rides, petting zoo, video games and when tired and hungry, they can enjoy a scrumptious meal in the eating area at a very reasonable price. There are many keep-sakes there as well as plants for the home or garden.
Full covid protocols in effect. need vaccine to use arcade or mini golf. most areas open and still a great day out.
Helpful staff great prices
I've been going here since I was little and it's always been a great place. I love it here and it really just feels like home! The whole aroma and feel of Colasanti's just brings me back! All the plants and decorations is always so well done and I remember going there to get Webkinz plushies when I was little. The only thing I don't like being 6.5', is how low some of the pipes hang.
Amazing place to go for the day. Food is so so but I love that they have the arcade for the kids and tons of plants for in the home. Staff are friendly.
We have been coming to Colasanti's for decades. It has evolved quite a bit. It is a wonderful small town, family owned tradition. It unfortunately has also become quite a "money grab". All day ride passes for rides that are only running a couple hours a day. Parents being charged to accompany their kids In to a petting zoo that they already paid to have their kids go into as part of their all day pass. This rubs me the wrong way ☹
Great family day trip spot!
Was awesome, plenty of plants to fill everyone desires. Was safe well organized.
Awesome facility, and awesome service! The perfect place to take your family for the afternoon.
All children's activities have been removed. The "gift shop" has also been closed. The plants are still beautiful, and if course the donuts are still fresh. Will take some getting use to!
Great staff lots to do with kids. Great gift ideas. Good food.
Growing up I always enjoyed coming here. As an adult I love it even more. The garden area is my place to be. Such a large selection of plants!! I am saddened to be unable to enjoy all areas of the facility due to covid but I hope that in the future I'll be able to enjoy this place in it full glory again.
Awesome place for families to visit. Beautiful plants and home decor. Mini golf, petting zoo, rides and games for kids. Great food. Don't miss the briasted chicken, mini donuts and apple cider!
Wrestled with this one a lot. However, I am 100% against animal cruelty and I am not fond of having a restaurant inside of a "zoo" either. My decision on this rating was especially reinforced to me personally after reading numerous articles as well as hearing insider information about their treatment to their employees and the animals there as well, sanitation and hygiene issues, and seeing things myself while visiting there, etc. So, I'm sorry but I cannot in good conscience provide a good rating for this company, even if I do have very fond memories of this place that I loved going to growing up (before Terry took over) and hanging with people there and as much as I do want to support local. This is 100% totally unacceptable and can't be swept under the rug. #Boycott #BoycottColasanti's #Shameonyou #enoughsenough
Grew up in Kingsville moved away a few years ago. Visiting this weekend and stopped to grab some fresh warm donuts for the 4 hour ride home!! Did not disappoint. So yummy ????
A very unique place. Bring the kids and your green thumb. Oh good night my dear my dear
Nice place to go with family. We bring the kids for the arcade. They got some tickets they collected and for some prizes...they were happy. They have an interesting collection of animals for a small zoo. Nice greenhouse, gardening supplies, yard and home decor. And the food....real nice place for family to come and eat. Think they are best known for their chicken!
Like the visit for the greenhouse plants. It smelled like PEE when we were there this time though. Fun place to spend a few hours for a day trip. Food was good as well. We will be back in a few weeks to see what's new.
Finally found a huge bird of paradise for my apartment :)
Love going there for plants, fudge, apple cider. Go there for a quick trip or for the lunch buffet it's all great. Plants are a decent price and so is everything.
I love it there we go once a year, but sometimes more!! There family there great. And the employees are very nice and helpful.
Fun times at Colasanti’s. Wide selection of plants, nice arcades area, food is great especially the apple cider and of course the animals!
The food was perfect
My family loves the broasted chicken, fries and gravy and peach juice. Also now love the pizza but altogether very pricey.
Broasted chicken was excellent but the broasted potatoes were overcooked and tasteless which is not normal! Usually love the potatoes but cook must be having a bad day lol!
It's a disappointment to visit Colasanti's now, especially compared to what it once was. There are too few plants and too many "tourist trap" elements now. The majority of the space once used for plants is now used for arcades, golf course, gift shop, restaurant, kids rides, etc... It would be great if you added more greenhouse space.
I was really looking forward to visiting this place after seeing their tags everywhere. From what they list on the website to what they actually have in the retail location was quite disappointing. The only thing that surprised me about the visit which was the cheap prices but then again, kinda expected granted the scale in which they produce.
Five star
Really nice selection of plants and planters! Unique.
Awesome place ! Some of the staff could use some better customer skills but all in all best place around !
Great
Spent a good day with the family Kids were happy playing and feeding the animals And the fried chicken is very good
It's a great place to bring your kids to the petting zoo and walk around if you're looking for plants or flowers
Very humid, no ventilation, which is understandable during hot weather. Arcade was very poor unfortunately, more than half of the machines are out ot service and out of 6 ticket vending machines worked only 2. During summer season there should be more effort put in having them fixed. Chicken was good though, so 2 stars.
I go there once a while. They have the best fried chicken. They have some games. They have a small zoo. They have many local products. Best place for family activity!
Colasanti's was great. My only concerns were that its become far too commercialized and its quite expensive. Its still a family favorite it just seems like the expenses are getting higher and it appears less and less about the animals and plants and reminds me more of a mini carnival
Due to covid only part of the green houses are open... restaurant is open ...but if your looking for zoo, arcade and rides they are not open
Food was very good but a little bit on the pricey side.
Great selection of very healthy plants as well as accessories. Restaurant offers good selection and prices are reasonable. A favorite place to visit.
Used to be a wonderful place to go. Was filled with so many green houses that it took hours to walk threw. Now it has turned into a glorified Chucky Cheese. I gave three stars only because their buffet is amazing, their donuts are to die for and their chicken... the best I've ever had. Still a few green houses left with a variety of flowers and greenery for sale.
Chaperones on rides used too be FREE now the parents must pay to join their children on rides...Already paid a lot for fun pass and all this place wants too do anymore is take more and more money. Not too mention my kid's favorite rides are always down and you dont get re-embursed or anything if you paid for a ride that they cannot ride. Gonna give a call from now forward too make sure all the rides are working for the remainder of the fun pass. Not cool :( EDIT. NOW THE PLACE IS LEAKING WATER...LITERALLY 5 MINUTES AFTER THIS REVIEW.. THEY CLOSED ANOTHER AREA..WOW!
Well the first thing I should have noticed was the wonderful tropical greenhouse from my childhood is now listed as a tourist attraction NOT a greenhouse. Reviews bragging about doughnuts, chicken and rides??? …
This place is great! Good for kids and a nice time out. Will be coming back for the family atmosphere.
I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough! I stopped by for the first time and was blown away by the selection of houseplants and pots and the fantastic prices. Definitely worth a stop if you like houseplants!!
It's not a very large place but it's perfect for a one day getaway. Amazing choice of plants to buy, good food, fun games. The one thing that really makes me happy is how the animals have free space to move around. It's not like a zoo. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend.
Cinnamon donuts great as they were when I was a Kid brings back great memories thanks again
Delicious food
Love this place been coming here since i was a kid. I come mostly for the plants but is a great place for the little ones
Looks like a very Kool place for the grandkids. My wife and I went through the petting Zoo and the little goats and Nannies were really cute and funny. Lots of different plants to choose from.
The kids had an amazing day here. We spent from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon here qnd the kids still didn't want to leave. There is good variety from the petting zoo, to the animal show, to mini golf, to the rides and the arcade.
Those donuts though ???? it's just a shame that so much of the fun stuff that allows kids to be curious and learn from have been removed and replaced with electronic games and rides. It's still okay but definitely not as exhilarating as it was back in the good ol' days.
This is ways a great place to visit, have lunch and buy some plants.
Good place to visit once in a while especially with family. Their fried chicken is so good and definitely a must try. ????
Great food... kids will enjoy.. great source of plants and flower.. a must when in Windsor
Been here several times always find something to see or do just as much fun with or without the kids
Kinda over priced and dated. Food is bad. Little zoo was cool for the kids, arcade too.
Great place to spend the day! Even if yoy don't have kids, the home decor, zoo and restaurant are fun for all ages. An Essex County gem for generations.
So much to do with the kids! Plenty of things to buy as well.
Hate to give such a low rating and rarely ever do but really was not impressed. First off there are no more rides 4 the kids(one of the main reasons why we went in the first place) the "petting zoo" didn't have many animals and there was no petting?? Arcades were half broken and though the food was great! We were forced to take it all the way back home because they had no tables ready. First time I ever had to give such a low rating unfortunately.....good luck in the future????
Great place to have fun with the family and do show shopping.
Amazing experience at Colasantis. Wearing a mask in a greenhouse is not a fun experience in fact quite dangerous. The food was amazing especially the peach ???? Juice. The actual arcade is alot better and more fun than it looks in the pictures. The mini golf couldn't be more fun and exciting. Needless to say amazing selection of plants and flowers and trees.
An amazing place for kids and adults. There are very few locations that offer the variety of activities (eating, shopping, mini-golf, arcade games, kid rides, petting zoo, animal shows, etc., etc.) that Colosantis offers. Our family always enjoys a trip there no matter what the season.
Great place to take the kids to .They have great collection of nice houseplants for cheap. Nice food as well, their fired chicken is one of the best in town. The petting zoo is always exciting for kids.
Very impressive.prices for plants are a bit high.if it lowers down.may be more convenient for all.food is so good. variety is available.
There’s a lot of family activities and good deep fried food. But the only reason I drive all the way out there is to buy plants. #1 place to buy cacti in the area. ????
It was great I love going there even when there is events
The best.
Took our grandson to Colasanti's for the afternoon. Had a great day!????
Great place to vring the kids and to buy all your plants
Wonderful place! Plants, animals, food and fun. Food is fantastic but you need to bring your own cutlery. Their plastic forks and knives are so cheap they bend so you can't actually use them to eat. Ridiculous!
Amazing prices for the amazing assortment of plants
The lunch buffet is delicious and they are always keeping everything topped up. We had lots of fun on the rides and so much to do.
Ive been coming here ever since I was a little girl, and still try and make a yearly trip even tho I have lived in London for almost 10 years! such a wholesome place, great for the family and has the best donuts ive ever tasted.
I had soo much fun go here now if you like goats or animals
Great family outing! ❤️ There's so much to do, they have rides, goofy golf, an arcade, petting zoo, niche shopping, great variety of plants. If you go there you must try their freshly made doughnuts and the broasted chicken but all the food is good. You can host parties for kids or even have wedding receptions and other occasions. There is an outdoor RC track outside that's fun for the little and big kids. Multiple soccer fields and room to play outside. They have many awesome themed events an host charity events like the Apple Fest and the Brian Decare Race every year. My family has been going there for generations. So many great memories from Colasanti's.
I've always loved coming here when I was a kid. A couple times during the year I will bring my kid's. Staff is always friendly, love their food. The plants are priced fairly.
Chicken and fries are great but colsaw take out is dry.
Perfect location to pick from a huge selection of plants and flowers. Not many staff available to help with questions unfortunately. Must try the chicken, cider and donuts. Many rides and games for children.
Nice place to go with the family. Games food and rides. be forewarned a full day here with the family can get costly. Great for birthday parties. The free playground that my little one used to like to play on while we ate, has been removed, which was a terrible shame. They do also have a wonderful selection of home decor I bought most of my Christmas decorations there, nice stuff.
We love Colasantis! It's a family fun place!
Sad there is so much closed down. Waiting for the full colosantis experience
Always love this place. Just got a fresh batch of sugar donuts and I am looking forward to my next visit. Hopefully we get to see some animals.
Lots of selection in home decor, plants and pots
Awesome as usual. Was able to get string of hearts.
Absolutely love this place! We went to Windsor for a trip and stopped by this nursery on our way there. Definitely worth shopping, whether its for plants or pots! :)
Family Friendly & A Great Educational Animal Experience ????????
The food was great...but way too hot
Was well organized with clearly marked sections & was easy to find prices. Really good value as well! Also was nice to see the store is commited to keeping up with the social distancing right now with several measures in place.
Honestly one of the best places for childhood memories. Great food, tons of different animals, an amazing arcade with a small golf course, and many rides. Over the years they've improved consistently on the layout and design of their main attractions, and remains as a great place to take the family to. The best parts in my opinion though is the animal show near the goat enclosure where an employee with a ponytail does a awesome job at introducing to us reptiles and having volunteers come down and interact with the creatures safely. Although the parrot that can dunk caps in a hoop was the main star in my opinion. They have a nice buffet like area with incredible tasting food, just great for lunch, and an entire gardening area where you can buy plants of all kinds although it has kinda gone downhill over the years. Plenty of parking at anytime of the day, but i recommend coming in the morning so as to have lunch there (make sure to get the peach juice and their apple cider. I dont know how they do it, but its its ridiculously tasty). Highly recommended to visit.
Love bringing my grandchildren here they have everything for toddlers to elderly and everyone in between
Colasanti's Easter Brunch is an annual family tradition. The breakfast/lunch buffet hits the spot every time. Reservations are smart if you have a big group. My kids stay occupied with the arcade games while my husband and I browse the plants and flowers. There's lots to do for the family.
Nice place for plants and pots.
This is a great place to bring kids. Plenty to do and see. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because I think it is a bit on the expensive side. Colasanti's do give back to the community a lot.
Great food... Especially the donuts and the broasted chicken.
I love this place. The donuts are really good and there are lots of plants and things for your home. Its a great place to bring kids - lots of games and rides and entertainment. If you get a chance I'd say its worth the visit
They are doing everything to protect their customers. A lot has been closed off due to covid including the children's activities. However you can still dine in if the seating is available. They are working hard to keep us safe. It is very much appreciated.
Very cool place
Not the same place since Covid as they close early and no more rides for the kids. Vibe is definitely different. Although same great donuts and food and of course lots of plants, animals and knick knacks.
Great place for children. Nice arcade for games, decent rides, fun with the goats. I notice constant expanding which is good. However, it loses some ratings based on the price hike I noticed last time I was there with the family. I refuse to pay the expanded prices to see the goats when nothing has changed in that area. Hell, sometimes I've paid to go visit the goats before and they were nowhere to be found. Not cool. Based on price hikes and the absence of goats when still being charged full price to go in the animal area this place ranks low on my recommendation list. I'd rather not send people there just to be disappointed.
My favorite place my kids love it and I love the plants
A classic "go to" place for any function or celebration. Colasanti's family oriented business prides itself on opening it doors for good service, good food good fun..and of course their must have donuts.
For a kid it's great. For an adult it is chaotic. Crowded and costly depending on what you are looking for.
The fried chicken is amazing
Great food was had! Supper for the family, dinner for 6; great price and taste! Excellent! My heard is happy and full!
Fun for all ages. Great time. Make it an all day trip and enjoy lunch and or dinner.
I like how they often have a variety of events and such going on. Aside from that, their arcade which is very small still has plenty of options and they’re never out of service. The fried chicken and the donuts are highlights.
Love the selection of plants. We always spend too much there :). And the kids enjoy the chicken and sides. It's take out only now, hopefully eat in soon.
Its nice to visit once in a while. The mini golf is always fun. Seems to have concentrated all of their energies in the rides and games-this is great if one has kids...but not so much if one has no children. The plants are nice and the gifts have something for almost every budget. The hot dogs and hamburgers are delicious....but the chicken always seems undercooked. Expensive to eat there....the petting zoo isn't what it used to be either....mostly goats that harass visitors for food.
Garden section only open til 5 pm. Hours state 6 pm. Drove all the way there 45 mins to find out they were closed. Google shows 4 different sets of hours! All state til 6pm except online ordered. I've suggested an edit since only the takeout is open til 6pm. Which is silly too because that's prime time for dinner.
We stumbled across this place when everything else was closed for Thanksgiving and was able to pick up a turkey dinner to go for two. Honestly it was food for 5 people, very generous portions and it was all delicious, moist turkey, gravy, stuffing and potatoes. Plus homemade cranberry and steamed veggies. We were so pleased to have this wonderful meal away from home.
My home away from home. Always an amazing experience with the new plants and items that are there. I would love to work here!!
I had not been there in a number of years. You cannot bring the plants back to the US like you used to. We did not risk having any confiscated. They are more of an indoor “fun center” than a nursery now. The food was good but it was not the reason for the stop.
A lot of people visited here today! A bit crowded. It was easy to get lost but eventually we made our way around the facility. The arcade reminded me on ny childhood... I enjoyed the nostalgic feeling. So many plants and beautiful things to look at.
Love this place! Fantastic attraction for everyone! There's food, games, shopping, animals and so much more. The chicken and donuts are worth going out of the way for!
Such great place to go and spend quality time with your family and friends...staff were incredible...I travel from Windsor at least 10 times per year to see this beautiful place...incredible plants and not bad prices at all...the chicken tho....out of this world....yumm-yumm
The fried chicken is delicious. Probably on par or better than Windsor's Fling's chicken. The plant diversity is good. I wish it was a larger section (it was or I felt it was larger when I was younger). Not sure if they currently sell any grow lights - might be a good product to add
Taking comforting measures to stop the spread of Covid-19
Is the coolest place to take your kids to...they have tons of play areas and the food is delicious, and if you are looking for some decor...they have beautiful plants and objects to buy. In other words you can spend your entire day there without noticing????
Nice place to eat, especially with kids. Good variety on the menu. No complaints ????
very good chicken over there and lots of games for the kids to play and lots of plants two buy
Can’t speak on the entertainment facility itself, but the administrative/sales staff were less than helpful, slow, disorganized, and frankly a big waste of time when we were trying to place a large order for plants. Moved on to find better alternatives.
Very excellent pizza. People working here are very kind and passionate about the pizza they make and serve. Best pizza outlet in windsor. Highly recommended.
Always double check your food order. Waited 1.5hrs when they told me it was going to be a 20 minute wait. Forgot half of it, then the second time I got a small order, seemed to come out quickly however they forgot two items. Great good but just make sure you have your entire order.
One of my all time favourite places to visit! I love their selection of plants and pots and always look forward to coming here! Colosanti’s also has a little arcade and game area, as well as a petting zoo for kids! And on top of this, they have their own little fast food restaurant and eating place, as well as the sale of fresh fruits and juices!!! Something for everyone!
Very open and offers a variety of areas to check. The petting zoo is quite unexpected with goats wanting to leave with us. Plants. Arcade. Restaurant. The fee is minimal.
Beautiful place :)
Took my wife there for a meal on our 45th wedding anniversary. We had broasted ribs and broasted potatoes. We weren't found of the ribs they seemed very plain to us maybe needed marinating or something. The potatoes were good, service was good, the young lady that waited on us was very polite and helpful. My wife and I will eat there again we just won't get the broasted ribs the food has always been very good.
Bought Brooster Chicken. Was delicious. Sat on the back tailgate of our truck. Great date day!
Excellent and always fun to visit
Great food and good atmosphere. Well decorated for Christmas as well. Loads of fun for the kids.
Great chicken
Went here for my cousins birthday, the rides and arcade were fun (sadly I had to leave before I got to go to the petting zoo) my only complaint would be the temperature of the building, way too warm.
This place has been a staple of the community for ages. It's changed significantly with the addition of a banquet area and restaurant as well as an awesome children's entertainment area with rides, games, mini golf and petting zoo. Although they do still sell plants that seems to have taken a backseat to some of the entertainment areas. If you have kids you might feel as though you have a giant rat trying to squeeze the pennies out of you but this place is really nice for an afternoon outing and the restaurant is a great place for lunch.
A great place for people of all ages to enjoy. On the weekend, the best time to go is early in the morning, as it can get really busy around noon onward. Some of my favourites from the restaurant include the freshly fried donuts and broasted chicken. There is also a small petting zoo, mini coasters, and an arcade. One of my favourite seasonal features here is the indoor botanical garden- there's a wide variety of plants and cute pots.
This place is nice but don't go when it's raining out. We sat down for dinner and we all got dripped on and so did our food. They don't seem to be keeping up with maintenance. It's a pity because the food is good and the place is great for kids.
customer service was bad from the cashier in the restaurant, to the server it was just awful.We waited about a hour for our food. Around 4:30 we bought some tokens and tickets for the zoo. It took us some times to find some games for my kids because majority of the games were out of order or occupied. It was around 4:50 that we went to the section to retrieve some prizes and enquire about a refund for the zoo pass.The lady at customer service escalated it to the manger, who looked at our 5 tickets and pretty much laughed in our face, telling us we can not get a refund because we had half an hour to go through the zoo. Her attitude was nasty, it was not just saying no to a $25 refund, but it was sarcasm behind it.
Really amazing place to go to if you've never been to Canada and looking for an exotic place. Great plants to shop for, for home decoration. An arcade for the teens or kids to enjoy and have fun. As well as some cool animals to check out and learn about.
I have been going here since I was a child. I loved going there even after being bite by a donkey. But now every year there seems to be fewer choices of plants. And not the verify I would expect. I still like going for my indoor plants. My mother and son posed for a picture
Nice place to get your plants. Also great place to bring young kids.
My son and his cousins went on a field trip with their school. It was a fantastic time! Shout out to Brett, he did a great job. He went above and beyond.
Was provided with excellent advice from Roberta for my dying Yucca tree. Brought home some superb broaster chicken and homemade doughnuts!
good place for plant and kids, mini zoo, great taste chicken
It's fun to take the kids. Burgers don't taste good though. We waited 30 minutes for our order.
Fun for families and groups. Decent food. GREAT DOUGHNUTS!!
Big selection of healthy, indoor/ outdoor plants. Priced very reasonable. Organized well. Received assistance when I asked. Solid local business that has been around for generations. Local people employed there. Why go anywhere else?
Alot of variety in plants.Fair prices.
Very busy and not at all relaxing but, pleasant staff, really great broasted chicken and coleslaw. Very well organized service time was excellent. The kids had a great time on the rides. Wonderful cinnamon donuts.
Staff is always helpful and a nice relaxing place yo visit
Great place to shop for plants, vegetables and other miscellaneous items.
5 stars for some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. Well worth the trip when visiting family in Kingsville.
I love coming here even now @ 42 years of age. The food is amazing!!! Best chicken anywhere. It's pricey but worth it. Old style Peach Juice also just walking around seeing the animals and flowers make my day. Very hot with a mask on but manageable. Still a staple of Essex County!!!.
My 5 & 6 year old daughters love this place, but its getting pretty sad there as far as stuff for kids. Their favorite thing to do is play the games there but SO MANY have signs saying 'out of order', plus there are also several that are broken without signs so it just takes your money without being able to play. I happily will spend $40 for a ton of tokens to play games for hours, but with the number of out of order games my kids get sick of it fairly quickly. They make SO MUCH MONEY off those games - why not have them in working order?? The mini golf is ok, not great. The best part is seeing/petting animals and I personally love buying plants and stuff, but my kids obviously aren't into that. Please Colesantis, get the games all up and running!
Was looking for some unique Christmas decoration ideas. Although there s a lot there most of it is the usual Christmas staples.
They have the best broasted chicken and ribs. Believe me, Its worth the drive.
Food was really good some of the prices were outrageous on their merchandise little but other than that that decorations for Christmas for amazing
Love colasanti's. We go half a dozen times a year. We have a two year old and a five year old and what I found frustrating the last couple visits is that the five year old isn't allowed in the bouncy obstacle course because she is too tall and the two year old doesn't want to go alone. They have the height restrictions the same for all bouncy castles and the obstacle course is included. I think its a little lame because it means other then a couple rides our girls don't get to enjoy the day together. It would be better by age but I understand the complications of doing it by age.
Broasted Chicken is yummy ????.
The place is nice, and I don’t like wearing a mask, I know I have to, anyway, there’s not much rides you can go on anymore, and I hate that the bumper cars shut down, maybe you could do a little upgrading to the place? Awesome place
Amazing variety and amazing prices....cute pots and decor. Never tried their food...but apparently it's good
Love the plant selection and the food!!!! I just brought home you're new chicken bites and they're a huge hit!!!! Besides the donuts, they're my new favourite!!
Excellent selection..price's are reasonable..Knowledgeable staff..hand sanitizer throughout the greenhouse. Well planned areas during this pandemic.
The food is usually good but today our chicken and fries were barely warm
Colasanti is a fun place to visit,fun for kids and adult too....beautiful place to relax,sit and chat,few rides for kids, exotic birds and water creatures..Games to play,food to eat and lots of varieties of beautiful ,exotic, green and fresh plants to buy and enjoy.Always love to visit,anytime.
If you have a child under 42 inches and another child above 42 inches don't expect them to be able to play or ride together. Bring someone else with you and separate but it's not ideal to spend family time together then have to separate. Otherwise, good shopping, food and animal zoo fun.
Awesome service awesome family chicken dinner
Great place to take your kids/ grandchildren. Or just a nice day out. So much to see and explore.
temperature inside was over 30 celcuis. we felt like we were in an oven... I will never go back again... outdated, old, and expensive.. they need to demolish this place seriously... waste of money and time...????????????????????????WORST PLACE IN CANADA NOT ONLY ONTARIO i can't believe people are rating this place over 1 star, probably they have never traveled anywhere but Leamington and windsor
Didn’t check out the garden section but looks great. Good place for kids of all ages. It is hot inside so bring lots of water. Some rides have height restrictions.
Tired games, many out of order and the ones that were working either didn’t work properly or didn’t give tickets. Bring back Chucks Cheese. Will not be going again.
Everytime we come from B.C we make sure we try to go, what a great place.
Fun day with the kids. The mini golf, arcade and zoo were great. The restaurant for lunch was okay, food was okay and came pretty quick. Overall its a fun place to visit with the family.
We have been going to Colosanti’s since I was a child. I have always very much loved going there and have very fond memories. Just recently, I began taking my toddler, in hopes of carrying the tradition forward. However, today I had one of the most outright rude and appalling situations happen to my family and I. I waited a solid 40-45 minutes for our food while my parents were tending to my toddler who was also very hungry. By the time I got our food, it had been lukewarm and a female dining employee, approached us to say that the dining area was closing. Not a single employee notified us that this was going to be the case and the other staff were still smiling at my toddler whom I JUST began to feed. We were told again by the same staff to clean up and go. As we are sitting there in shock with our food all out. Never and I mean never in all of my years of customer service as well as being a patron at many different dining establishments have I experienced this. There was another patron who just left and stated the same, as we all left in utter shock. Not only was she rude but she was sarcastic and discourteous. I will never dine in at Colosanti’s and I will make sure others know about how horrible of an experience we had. I hope she “Has a nice day” as well, because she certainly ruined ours.
Wish there were more plants, feel bad for many of the animals, especially the birds (parrots should be be in such small environment) seems like a lot of the animals are dying, every time we go they get fewer. Very expensive too. The arcade and ride are is usually pretty empty why not make it plant area
Great variety of plants. Good price. Different articles to decorate.
We had an amazing time with our family. My almost 3 year old loved feeding the goats and deer in the petting zoo. We love the unique selection of plants they offer. Great place for everyone to enjoy.
We don't even know how to classify this....but it sure was fun! Petting zoo, arcade,restaurant, shopping, farmers market, frozen homemade entrees. Every thing!
It was just ok to be honest. Staff is not very helpful and the whole place just kind of seems really unorganized. Seems expensive for what you get.
Very terrible, unprofessional and awful service at the restaurant. I have ordered 3 times in advance 1 hour by calling them. All 3 times, after more than one hour arriving, they did not have my orders ready, even they did not do anything until I came to ask for my order. I complained that I had ordered the foods more than one hour ago but they told me they could not do because people who just coming to order before 15 mins when I arrive are still waiting. So what the reason for calling to order the food more than one hour in advance but they did nothing until I arrived to pickup? One of the staff also told me if I want to have order ready then I should call them a day before ??? What a unprofessional and terrible service !!! I am speechless. Not one time, all three times are the same terrible service. One star rating and a warning to someone who want to order the food here.
Wonderful purchased everything I needed
Love the broasted chicken and potatoes.. Staff is always friendly as well.
Today, for some reason, ladies in the restaurant/snack area rude. Not my usual experience. Drove out for a much needed "me" day, so disappointing. Maybe next time?
Great place to bring the family for the day! Joe Colasanti even stopped by our table and said hi while we were having our Mother's Day Brunch. Been going since I was a kid and it has changed so much. I remember when the only "rides" were the red radio flyer wagons that me and my brother would both try to climb in.
Always kind and friendly staff!
Love the chicken and pasta , Mini golf is also pretty good
Colasanti's is great place to visit with or without kids and whether or not you are a gardener. They have arcades, put put golf, an animal petting area, and various types of greenery in areas of similar types of plants. There is also T Shirts and trinkets to purchase and a great restaurant. The boasted chicken with boasted potatoes is fantastic and just under $10.00. Naturally, we had the Broasted Chicken with Broached Potatoes and Cole Slaw. We also bought a few plants and a T Shirt. A great day in all.
Love love love this magical place. Something for all ages!! The Food is always delicious and it's just SO BEAUTIFUL here!!
Season seemed to be winding down shelves were not full, but adequately stocked. Social distancing was being followed. All the extras were closed down. I still enjoyed my experience as always, still a beautiful place.
Staff is friendly and always willing to help very pleasant experience here any time I visit.
Great prices on tiny cactii! Beautiful assortments!!
The garden center was very nice and very massive. We went to play Mini putt where social distancing was non existent. Half the people were not wearing masks, yet signs indicated they were required and staff did nothing. Staff were sitting on a bench no mask, no shoes on the phone. At the finish the sanitizer was empty. I brought it to the counter and they looked confused. Like I had asked the to cure cancer. Covid protocols were very poor to non existent.
Good family place with food, arcade games, and animals.
Great selection of plants
It was a really fun time to drive for 4 hours, assuming they close at 6, like their hours state, to find out everything closes at 5. Your website should reflect the time the earliest portion closes, not your resturaunt, considering you are a plant store.
I love Colasanti's Im sorry I did not find them very helpful or as friendly. I still love coming and will always visit there. Love Mr Colasanti .
The food was okay but it was liking going to a feedlot. While there were a number of celebrations going on the general sense of the place was that people were there for quantity. Go to a counter, pay your money, get your hand stamped and the head off to consume more calories in the next hour than most people should have over the course of two days. We did experience the tropical effect since it rained and water was cascading inside in numerous places.
It was open but not the same, the arcade was closed and very few tables in the restaurant. Still can eat in. Only the west entrance was open.
Disappointed with today's visit. I have been going to Colasanti's for years but I won't be back again. They are making money hand over fist and can't reinvest any of it into keeping up their facility. PAVE YOUR PARKING LOT, patrons shouldn't have to stomp through mud or push their strollers through mud to enjoy your facilities. No idea how a wheelchair or handicapped person would even make it in!?!? Also, I counted SIXTEEN BUCKETS being used around the arcade and rides to catch water from the leaky roof. I was dripped on numerous times from the leaky roof. WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE??
Awesome place for a family outting. The petting zoo is fun and the arcade is always a hit with kids and us adults. Homemade doughnuts are a must and of course Plants!! Lots of lovely plants to buy !
It's a great place for the family, we ordered pizza and poutine and both were good. The arcade machines are quite old, but the kids had a lot of fun with them.
Relay for Life @ Colasanti's Tropical Gardens = Priceless
A home away from home. I have loved visiting this place as long as I can remember. Great environment, great broasted chicken, and very amazing quality of plants for sale. Prices are VERY competitive. Support local and buy your plants here.
The atmosphere has a nice aesthetic to it an I like there hospitality
Always a great time. Always something different to see and do. Great job Joe and crew! Many years of going and enjoying your work. If you go- go hungry! Broasted chicken and fresh donuts are a MUST!
as a place I've always went to as a kid I was very disappointed I went to show my daughter the animals I was charged 5 something for myself to take her threw there and hardly any barnyard animals maybe 6 goats a few chickens and a cow lol what ever happened to this place they used to have deer and alot more animals it was my daughter's first time there I will be saving my money and going to green view avries sad to say that I have spend lots of money in this place growing up and with all ages of kids how ever if your looking for good chicken or to buy a plant your in the right spot IAM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY VISIT TODAY
Good food, good plant selection. We miss visiting the animals, although some chickens came to visit us We enjoyed eating our lunch at the picnic tables under the trees.
Fun place but starting to get expensive, parents have to pay to ride with kids not big enough which kind of adds up quick, overall still great just a little harder on the wallet
Kids had a blast. Great Section for plants hard to get otherwise. Donuts to die for!
We have been to Colasanti's several times and it has always been ok, but this visit was really disappointing. Half the games were either out of order, or not working correctly. And half of the ticket counters weren't working. I wish they would stick more with the games like skeeball and not the arcade type. I got a poutine for supper, but it was served to me cold. The pizza was very very greasy. For having spent over $100, I'm not sure how soon we'll return.
Great selection of plants from crazy cacti succulent, house plants and garden plants. This place has all your plants you need. The only thing they don't have is sundews...
I love this place, it's my go to place a few times a month to eat great food and brows around at the plants. I'm glad they got rid of the lion and the crocodile, NOT a place designed for them. Keep up the good work!
I ordered a dinner for 6 and when got home the French fry’s where so over cooked there was no potato in side. I called them right away and didn’t even offer me a credit as i live 20 minutes away. I will not be returning
Had a blast here watching the animals and enjoyed the games room.
This is a great destination. Food and service is excellent. Try the chicken.
Colasantis is a great place for people of all ages! Cool animals to check out, beautiful home decor and plants, mini golf, tasty food and more!! Definitely worth the trip out there!!
Thank you for a good all round experience
Fun time family place and got a perfect plant.
The selection of plants and accessories here is absolutely wonderful! There are so many opportunities to get a delicious treat (broasted chicken bites are omg good) that it's always wonderful to visit.
Had a great little time today. Took my daughter through the zoo and saw all the cute little animals, fed the goats. She loved seeing the alligator. Played some games in the arcade too. All in all, it was a fun trip and also wasn't expensive. Be sure to stock up on peach juice on your way out!
I was very disappointed this time. My sister and I took my mom out for lunch. I ordered my mom and my lunches and my sister ordered her own. My sister received hers and thinking my mom's and I would be out shortly... my mistake. 15 minutes after my sister received her lunch we still did not receive ours. So I found the staff that ran me through to see if our order was lost? It came right away but my chili fries were stone cold and so was my moms chicken dinner. Not overly impressed. Generally a good meal.
Ordered 3 broasted chicken dinners yesterday. I dont know what happened but it was the worst chicken ever. We drove from Windsor just to get the chicken that we have always loved . None of us ate it . We also wanted donuts and couldnt get them because the lady said they werent making anymore. Was very disappointed in the entire experience .
Always a nice relaxing place to visit
Nice gardening section, a lot variety to choose from, plants are taken good care of, stuff are super knowledgeable and friendly!
Busy place no room to park had to turn around. And head out.
Very long line ups for cashier, need to improve flow of customers through checkout. It was Sunday so take that in to consideration.
Haven't been here in years, great shopping, definitely geared for young families w petting zoo and arcades but nice for all ages
Amazing donuts. Fun arcade, terrible quality of prizes for tickets tho lol.
It was good. Donuts were good, peach juice was good. Arcade was fun. The petting zoo got rid of the feeding cups, I think they should sell them at the counter where you pay to get in, but other than that it's pretty good for just reopening with covid restrictions. They got ponies. Should look into doing pony rides for kids.
I love this place! I have been coming here at least twice a year for at least 20 years. I go frequently to buy new plants, but if you have children the petting zoo, arcade, mini putt, and rides are a lot of fun! The restaurant is nice and if you go you MUST get some freshly made cinnamon sugar donuts and apple cider!
Half open, was ok
Every other year the selection has been phenomenal, this year it was succulents galore pretty much.
Nice variety of things to do. Plus plants and decorative items. Food pretty good.
Be aware of their exchange policy . There are so many other local businesses that will offer same products with better exchange policies and better customer service. This day and age, specially in the middle of a pandemic, they are still …
This is a great place to have a healthy fun escape with the family. We always start checking out the plants , then the animals. My children love, love and love all the entertainment available for them...the food is great but the fried chicken is phenomenal. It's an awesome place where to buy plants, specially tropical one that take me right back to home. Thank you to whoever made this place possible❤️
For the first day back open they had everything in place and did a great job!
A great Saturday afternoon walking through the greenhouse. We were looking to green up our house a bit and came home with a number of plants (and planters) to make our space fresher and livlier.
I bought a bag of donuts for $4 and two hot beverages, which came to $7-ish. I handed a $20 bill to the cashier, and she gave me $7-ish back. When I immediately clued in the change was incorrect, she claimed she thought I had given her a $10 bill. Holding out my hands which had no moved, I was holding $7 and change. I believe the cashier was fully aware she was short-changing customers, and that should be looked into. The other reason for the low rating was the poor quality of the donuts. I only had a portion of one due to hunger. The next day, my husband tried to have one with his morning coffee, and it had turned to stone overnight. However, the apple cider was excellent in my opinion. Although so hot, it burned my tongue. Colasanti's seems like a nice, noisy place for families to take their children for birthday parties. I was expecting less of a carnival, but it is what it is. I'll come back for the cider once a year in the winter if I'm in the mood, but Timmy's is still the best for old-fashioned donuts.
It was good but not as good as normal you can tell that the epidemic is definitely impacting the service
Very very disappointed with our "visit" this Easter. I checked the website and it explicitly stated "open until 6:00PM". I drove for 40 minutes and got there at 3:20PM only to be told by a staff member (not very politely) that they closed at 3:00PM!!!!! And they don't know why on the website it says 6:00PM. To add to the "fun" they didn't even check if there was anyone left inside of the facilities. There was a young couple with little kids who were stuck at the zoo in the outside fenced area!!!! The staff just locked the doors and left. Fortunately, one of workers was located while she was walking to the parking lot and was told there were still people in the zoo area and she had to return and let them out. I could not believe it! What a negligence to say the least!!! I don't think I am ever going to go back!
Great little place. Plenty of things to do and see there. Highly recommended
Still a great place even with covid happening! All proper procedures are being followed. Happy to see they are still open
great hospitality and good turnout. Nice man Joe Colasanti and staff
There's better cinnamon donuts in the county! Made a trip out and timed it perfect for a fresh batch and ????
Very good food
Love this place. It's always a nostalgic feeling when you're here. You can't help but remember being a kid and going through the petting zoo. Make sure to bring some change for animal feed dispensers that are throughout the grounds.
Every visit is awesome and different. I would highly recommend this destination
I know they've been closed due to covid but I did not find it to be very clean inside. The mini golf course was full of cobwebs they need to clean the dinosaurs, and the orange tree was surrounded by rotten oranges being eaten by herds of ants! I also wished they took more time to clean the arcade games. Was unfortunate not to be able to feed the animals anymore either.
I just took my granddaughter there January 6th 2019. What a disappointment. Had to pay $10 to see the animals too funny. There were 4 goats, 1 pig 2 birds some fish and turtles. Really first of all it should be free for kids. Just thought it was a little much. Won't go back, rather take the drive to green avery at least you pay but so much more to do.
Always a nice time at Colasanti's. Food, plants, arcade, zoo. Something for everyone.
Great place to bring your family, lots of activities for kids, great broasted chicken, donuts and apple cider. They have a petting zoo, can buy plants and more.
Food was great, but we were very disappointed in everything else. Only one small area of plants was open. No petting zoo, nothing else just a small area of plant. Pretty disappointed, we drove an hour to get there.
Great flower arrangements , amazing petting zoo with exotic animals. As well they have some of the best broasted chicken in the county. Must see tourist destination.
I've been going there since I was a little kid and it's one of my best memories by far. If you have the chance you have to go there at least once. I bought a little snake plant at my last visit and they take very good care of their plants!
Ashley please keep bringing orchids in .they r awesome from Flordia.i have bought 3 buggies full love them its my passion.Barb is a wonderful person n helps alot w the orchids n her info.just wanted to say thanks n keep bringing them in.
Resturant staff were very rude and ignorant. Poor customer service, everything seemed to be an inconvenience.
This is a wonderful gem. Besides flowers and some local farmer produce, the have small children rides and games. Broasted chicken and potatoes are wonderful with fresh donuts. The also have small zoo with some shows on weekends. Great place for parents with little children.
Went to see the animals, daughter was looking forward to pet the goat's. Where are the goats is all I had heard. So where are the goats?
Games and rides were great. However the food was awful everything we ordered was cold poutine, burger, grill cheese and a fish sandwich all cold and it took over 40 minutes to get to us very disappointed especially when it was almost 40$ for the meal.
Great food and reasonable $$. Family friendly
I always like going here but really feel that more could be done for the animals in your care.
The place has so much variety of plants, its outstanding. Besides all that the petting zoo, games, mini golf and all other services here is a plus. Come ready to enjoy a whole day here with your kids!
great place to take the kids on a rainy day. also great place if you want to get some nice houseplants for cheap. the food is mostly fried or pizza and you aren't able to bring outside food in. the petting zoo is always exciting for kids but seems kinda sad.
Great place for child birthday parties! Affordable, fun and tons of things to do. From rides, bumper cars, jungle gym , animals, arcade, mini golf and the list goes on!
Awesome place with so many things to do and buy. The donuts are awesome and peach juice is crazy good. Highly recommend this place for any occasion.
Love this plants. Nice buffet lots to choose from. Kids area for the little ones.
Broaster chicken, donuts and peach drink!
Always love going to see what they have. Great choices, prices and food.
Very friendly staff. Food is delicious and it is very family oriented. Pets, animals, rides, arcade and mini golf all in one place!! Open year round!!
Great fresh food ordered and ready in 15 min. Broasted chicken, potatoes, fries, pasta and more. Delicious!
Its a farm style greenhouse with kids them and attractions grate for young kids party with indoor carnival with good food and dinning fun
