REVIEWS OF Sainte-Marie IN Midland

Kornél Kalotai

This is a quite good place to discover how people lived 400 years ago! You have almost all information on the map. Only self guided tour available due to Covid.

Masha Cavallier

The best historical place we've been in Ontario! Thanks to Sainte-Marie's team and all volunteers who recreated this place and keep its spirit and unique beauty.

It's quiet and clean. Brilliant video prior to exploring the village, which eventually directly immerses you into your journey. Loved that the village felt lived in and there are people in costume to give you a realistic view of life here during settlement. You might even get to try an old technique! Upon exiting, there is a quaint bistro before the museum entrance, with a patio overlooking the village. DO NOT SKIP THE MUSEUM! Legitimately the most beautiful museum I've ever seen. Lighting like rays of sun through trees, a pond, and a skylight. Wood organically surrounds you. You'll forget you're inside!

This is the best museum/historical site with the most to view. It will take the longest to get through as well. Plan for a longer day with good shoes... it's worth the trip :) I will plan to eat elsewhere though because as a family of 8, we can't afford those kind of prices. Not a great restaurant for families... maybe a date night where you aren't concerned about the cost.

We attended First Light. It was amazing, there was so much to see and do. Great folk music, crafts for kids and tones of vendors. This was such a fun Canadian Christmas experience. We will definary add this to our yearly traditions, and at $10 plus food donation it is very affordable.

Lilia Martinez

Beautiful place. My 6YO was super happy saying: Mom, I loved we were able to enter to the history. Food in the cafeteria is good also. I totally recommend it.

Rebecca Cramer

Excellent family experience! My youngest loved the electronic "story" option, and my eldest enjoyed talking to the people working there.

Pierre Seguin

We went as a family and totally enjoyed it. We will definitely be back! A must see for a great learning experience! You will come out with a better appreciation of our history!

I went here not knowing what to expect. I felt very safe with the precautions they are taking to keep us safe.. The site it self was very interesting and alot of fun. The normal reenactments were not there but we were told all about them. Them smell of wood smoke took us back in time and it all seemed so accurate. My teen agers even enjoyed it..

The light festival in December is gorgeous. The church was open for few days at this time. Gun fires, Canon fires, good music and snow, makes for a wonderful evening. Some freat display of the history and culture of first nations around here. There are some nice organic products to shop as well but even without this it is Worth a visit.

Katherine Wickett

My daughter and her husband go every year. This was my first time. I want to go during the day to really see this park

Mmm Taylor

Amazing trip. Staff welcomed question and provided information promptly.

Reyann Claire Cadangan

Went here with my boyfriend thinking it would be very boring, but to my surprise, loved this place! Felt like I time-traveled. Tips: dont skip the theatre room and watch the presentation before you go in, that way you will appreciate the whole tour a lot better.

Erik Schomann

Went to the First Light festival with partner and her boys. An amazing living experience documenting the shared history of early European settlers and First Nations. We all had great fun. The dinner and drinks were a bit pricey but in support of this historical initiative, I didn't mind paying a bit more when I thought of that as donation.

Kirsty Moore

This place gives you a window into the settlement of the first European settlers in this area and makes me feel like I know Canada's history a bit better now. I definitely recommend it!

Steven Ercolani

A nice way to spend an hour or two where you can learn about some of the history of Canada. The staff at the site is very knowledgeable and add to the experience. For the cost of this self guided tour it's worth it if you're in the area.

Mary Jane Braide

We were very surprised how beautiful this was. Staff were so interesting and engaging. Lovely in the autumn with fires in every building and the smell of woodsmoke. Mysterious and thought-provoking.

Lester Jacobs

Very informative and interesting exhibit. I learned new information about the interaction of the Europeans with the First Nations. This was especially poignant given that we are celebrating Canada 150 this year.

Clement Cheng

The pioneer village lets us have a better understanding about the people's lives of early ages. The staff are also helpful and informative.

Lena Perl

Amazing place. Went with kids 4 and 6 years old. Kids love it. Adults love the place too

Sa Gr

Interesting place. Would be good to have more from indigenous perspective but better than before. Good response to COVID and great people working there

wen wei

Very educational about Canadian history. Many interactive activities, lots of fun for kids. An insight into the life of early Canadian pioneers.

Rita Ervine

Always have enjoyed this place. Today's topic of discussion here was day of reconciliation as tomorrow they are closed. Glad I made my way there today.

sandie scott

First light. Always a wonderful evening. Great for kids to learn how they lived back in the 1800

a McTaggart

This place is so much fun for kids or the kid in you. Fascinating grounds to explore and knowledgeable staff to educate you on the significance of various buildings or activities. Love animals are also on the property and fun to feed.

Oksana Kachmar

We loved our visit...

Zachary Burlap

More buildings and far bigger museum than we expected. Oldest site in Ontario, with artifacts from 1600's. Many period-costumed staff in the village, who are very knowledgeable and provide hands-on experiences.

Aimee Harrison

Reconstructed village from pioneer settlement. Well maintained. Interpreters scattered throughout for fun insights. Crafts for kids. Self guided tour (option of audio guided tour). All outdoors - dress for the weather.
