Reviews of Birdhouse City (Museum)

MsKatchee

Lots of different bird houses to see. Bird houses represent actual places in the local area. Some are broken/need repairing but neat nonetheless! There are some nearby trails for hiking too

Ron Aizenshtadt

Great place for picnic.Some of the birdhouses are missing

April Wallace

For tater tots lovers. Great covered outdoor patio. Kids loved this meal.

Cara R-N

Really cute! Amusing walkabout but no birds in sight. And just minutes from downtown Picton.

Stephanie Jobin

(Translated) Very special to see, I had never seen anything like this before! The place is worth it if it's on your way, but I don't think it's worth the big detour to get there. (Original) Très spécial a voir, je n’avais jamais vu quelque chose de ce type auparavant! L’endroit vaut la peine si c’est sur votre chemin, mais je ne crois pas que ça vaille la peine de faire un gros détour pour y aller.

Derek Taylor

Cool place but a little rundown. Like the idea but upkeep needs to be better. Didn't see any birds.

cory alkenbrack

Well worth a visit. Might be best to wait for summer though.

Jordan H

I only drove by the other day, but I used to visit lots when I was a kid. I have very fond memories of the place and it looks like it’s improved since then. Bring a bird book in the warmer weather with your kids. So cute.

Anastasiya Stackaruk

Such a cool spot!

Maddie G

Five chirps for bird house city!

Peter Wiik

Great for day hiking or a picnic in the pavilion or to walk your pet.

Jackson Molyneux

Good place for hiking

Season DeVries

Great place to take it easy, or have a stroll. Many cool birdhouses to check out, including a few needing some TLC.

Dduffy Duffy

Awsome park and beautiful place to go with family and friends ....

Emily Graham

Plenty of space for a family outing/hike. Trail connected to a heritage house which is beautiful. The trails go UPHILL, very steep. Very muddy and icy this time of year. Birdhouse city is large and well kept! Very cute.

Aaron Wiik

Bird house city and the Macaulay Mountain Conservation area situated next to it are incredible. Exploring either can be a great activity for families or anyone really who wants to explore nature and get a look at some of Prince Edward County's wildlife. I would absolutely recommend it for a day hike, and you can come back multiple times because there are many different trails to choose from.

Yodaman Solo

Lol very cool spot here showcasing these amazing little miniature birdhouses. Literally little houses. There are so many different ones and I believe some of them are replicas of various structures in Picton and Prince Edward County. It’s worth a visit. Very odd though that I never did see any birds while I was there. ???? ????☺️

el Gordo Loney

Stayed there for a wedding - fantastic facilities - would be glad to return thx!

Mark Holder

Very cool

Bill Pennell

Great idea. Sad state of disrepair. Many birdhouses need some TLC.

Tony Forbes

Fun for everyone..about an hour visit..

Tomas Bolek

The City is a little dated and looks neglected, which is a bit disappointing. But it's a nice place to visit neverthelessl

Andrew Durman

Near place in the country

Alejandra G

Had never heard of this place until the weekend. We arrived a little late in the day, but we were fascinated by all the birdhouse and the different structures. Would return to view them all!

Yauheni B.

Very cool concept. There is at least 100 birdhouses there!

Carrie Vermazen

Definitely interesting... It's a bit worn down. It would be nice to see the community rejuvenate the little houses

Lish I

Kids loved it!

Justin Nicholls

Pretty cool to see all the birdhouses!

G Majer

Cant really rate , decided not to go in because looked really uninviting, signage was awful which added to our lack of interest

Kade Walsh

Nice park. Birdhouses are kind of run down though

Richard Caruso

Very old run down.

Ned Burgess

It was actually very impressive. Plus great place for a stroll through the woods.

Diane Turner

Loved it! So much creativity

Diane F.F.

If you've been stuck in a car and need to stretch your legs, or you are interested in or are familiar with Prince Edward County's historic buildings, or you appreciate woodworking and or you enjoy strolling around 20 or so bird houses then Birdhouse City is for you. They are perched 10ft to 15ft above ground which means they can be viewed from underneath or from a distance. Meh... I gave it a 5star rating for what it is but personally, I don't need to return.

Greg McCormick

Amazing place... Great scenery, fresh air and sooo many bird houses. ????

Anya Rozman

A really nice place to walk around and enjoy some nature. It is a nice park with trails and hiking area around it. Paths are well taken care of to walk around and view the bird houses.

Esther T

Such a cute and unique place! I got excited when I passed the sign that said bird house city. Got to stop by on our way back and I'm glad we did :)

David Rempel

If you want to see some birds or get inspired to build your own bird houses this is a great place to visit. While you are there be sure to explore the trails of McCauley Mountain park. Beautiful!

Robert Dorey

A magical realm.

Rich Susik

Nice to visit, BUT the big board with names to Remember is gone?????

Michinari Hashimoto

A city of birdhouses that suddenly appears just outside of downtown Picton. Yes, there are many of them and many different houses, so I recommend stopping and walking through the park.

Phil Leavitt

A great place to stretch your legs and there are lots of interesting looking birdhouses to take in. A county treasure for sure.

Matt Cain

Interesting place

J Brown

Super cool to see.

Dhruv

Its ok. May be a good spot to visit during spring /summer

Kanwar Sukhbir Singh

A cute place for great insta photos and a good spot for short stopover during trip to prince edward county

Meaghan Mitchell

I'm not really sure how to accurately review this location. It is what is claims to be. It has a lot of hand crafted birdhouses representing local buildings along with some notable international buildings. If you like birds and cutesy woodworking projects this could be a 5 star location for you to visit. You can escape into the woods of the conservation area across the parking lot, if the hustle and bustle of Birdhouse City becomes overwhelming.

Ian McKenzie

Interesting sight to see!

bidhu shekhar

A unique set up of birdhouses modelled on the important buildings of the Counry!

David Lefebvre

Nice and interesting art project. Lots of parking though its paid parking, more than I would want to pay to walk through 3.5km of the adjoining conservation park. (5$ / day) but it is for a good cause. The conservation park trails are a little overgrown but amount to a nice little stroll. Very enjoyable. (* This years drought has made the creek very dry) Nice alternative or add on to visiting Picton Main.

Jessica McLaughlin

Kind of neat. My kids loved it.

Allison Brown

Such a cute little place, I just wish the community would take better care of it!

Paul Hicks

It's a park for walking on trails, picnics, has a pond, toilets. Good parking. Dozens of custom made birdhouses grouped in a area for easy viewing.

Micheal McGill

Relaxing

Donald Mallette

It is good to see that some volunteers are sprucing up the birdhouses.

Crycket

It was way to icy to do the hiking we wanted but the bird houses were a good distraction. Most are in poor condition and a few have blown right over...but it was like walking through an odd sort of graveyard and that was ok

Dhruv Desai

Interesting place with many different birdhouses. Nice picnic spot but be careful of the bugs. Parking cost is $5 and has to be paid through the app "pay by phone".

Horatiu Druma-Strugariu

Great little stop full or gorgeous birdhouses. Super cute, guaranteed to make you smile. Certainly worth a stop.

Thomas Lennox

Nice place to Stop , Great trails !!

Braden Delpellaro

The bird houses are cool but a lot of them are similar. Must have been a bad time to see birds as well.

L S

Cool walk in Picton

Natasha “Shorty” Mccumber

I enjoy taking my children there to explore the wild life and eco systems along with the walks through the trails

Jessie Scerri

Love the flowers

Alan Heighway

Very unique park. It is worth the visit if you haven't been here as it is an interesting community project. Unfortunately many of the bird houses are rundown and could use some attention.

K Barker

If you like birdhouses then I guess this is interesting. Else it is worth a 5 minute stop. The nearby walking trail is nice.

Mariana Matsiuk

That’s an amazing idea, just so sad that it is all neglected and no one seems to take care of it anymore. Hope this place will come back to life!

Allan Nelson

It would be nice if they cut the grass once in awhile.

Gina Marshall

Very nice and unique bird houses

Colin Kish

Great place for kids in the country

Carbon Lilies

This is a very unique concept but there aren't many actual birds. A few of the poles are empty and one house fell... I just hope not from vandalism. The houses that remain are worth a look though if you are in the area.

Richard

Great place to park and snowshoe...only downside is I just noticed a sign and was told you have to pay to park. Won't be paying to park here...will walk from another area in future.

Richard Leger

Cool little place that's been around forever!! It's a Picton staple...and a great place to visit. It's a once a year attraction for us!!!

Sulena Smith

Great place to bring kids to see nature.

Sean Leung

Cool spot to check out! The designs are fantastic. Easy to spend ~30 minutes or so before heading out for a hike at macaulay. Some of them are broken down or missing, but there’s over 100 unique bird houses to check out!

Chris Cattani

There we're bird houses...several of them in fact

Christine Wong

Love the hiking here and the details and efforts people put into making these. Very cute spot indeed.

Delia Girard

Scanning the QR codes on the birdhouses was very informative and made the experience more full. Great historical information. I would have liked to seen the QR codes on more of the birdhouses.

Rene Mapili

Must visit in PEC!

Chet Ane

Birds have their own city!

Joyce Crandell

No bathroom, and the bird houses are looking very run-down. The bridge across the ditch into the birdhouse area is fully collapsed. This area needs some TLC!

shelly demers

Cute little area. Interesting to see all the bird house. Would make it nicer if they were maintained in some way as time and weather have not been their friend. Grass area around the town has been maintained nicely so it is easy to walk around. Cute little spot for sure.

Sadaf Rai

Lots of impressive bird houses but unfortunately not i didn’t see many birds.

Geraldine Pedrosa

This place ia amazing! City of birdhouses of different shapes and sizes. Colorful and great place if you want to to feed or bird watch.

Laura C

Such a cool place and I feel so sorry that has been neglected. I hope they fix it, cause I have never seen anything like it and would be a great attraction for visitors.

Kyle P

Great place for a hike/walk

davis davis

Was hoping to see more birds truthfully..

Jeff Dornan

Like the title says, it's a city of birdhouses!

Candice Hill

Falling apart but cute to see. Took sbkut a half hour to look at them all.

Adam Wells

fun place to explore.

Fiona Sedgwick

This space inspires calm and peaceful contemplation. The birdhouses are beautiful too. It's a great way to get exercise and a walk with your dog.

Amit Rotem

Nice and easy walking around many unique miniature buildings or bird houses. Fun to play guessing the house. Birds were missing.

Nana Brownlee

Not impressed that the trails were washed out and no signs posted..Kids and adults ended up with very wet feet

Richard Weigand

Great place to observe nature.

Gillian Carson

Great day for a walk around and pictures!

Howard K

Very cool, worth a visit, but some of the bird houses could use some upkeep and painting

David Brownlee

Very nice place

Audrey Bonter

Nice, short trail.

A G

Pleasant place to walk around. Nice eating area on the other side with some wildlife. Not much more, bit of something to do in the countryside.

Wandering Fork

This is such a special spot! My hat goes off to "friends of birdhouse city" and all that crafted these unique bird houses!

Scott Rushton

It's neat, worth the drove to lovely Picton

Jan Stiff

Could be a real tourist attraction but not kept up nor are there cut pathways between all the bird houses

Ron van der Werf

Interesting!

Ricky Wiehr

The trails are a little rough and not well marked. They are also multi-use, so watch out for ATVs. The birdhouses are well worth the trip.

Christine Gillen

We did not spend alot if time looking at the birdhouses. We did enjoy the long hike straight up the hill. We recommend the yellow trail. It get confusing at the top just switch to the green trail. Some wet places if you stay at the bottom. If you have splash pants on the hills are steep enough you can get down quite quickly on your butt. I enjoyed it.

Maddi Snowden

Unique and kinda adorable

Sophia Lal

Birdhouse City - what a place !! Highly recommend going backwards through and saving Massassauga Park Hotel (Occupancy: 83 birds!!) for last! Like a graveyard of mini landmarks and odd structures

Josh Topping

It's exactly what you would expect - a bunch of birdhouse that look like people houses. Didn't see any birds though...

Doug Irish

Great outdoor area but conservation board is not maintaining public grounds now. Was good area for wedding photos but not now.
