A piece of history

Transit service was good, the lady was knowledgeable. Although with all the Covid restrictions etc still in place I was surprised to see no one behind the counter not wearing masks. Meh.

Come into Kingston City Hall and take a look around to grasp a feel and sight of what goes on in our beautiful city. Ask questions. There are always a lot of people bustling around and are willing to help! The architecture is amazing! The artwork of past Prime Ministers, mayors etc interesting history! Landscapes breathtaking! Give Kingston City Hall a try!

Everyone likes to complain about Governments. I can't say anything bad about the city of Kingston. I have had nothing but positive experiences. I wrote the city suggesting they install a trash can in my local park-three days later there was a trash can. I inquired about my tax bill, I had an answer less than 2 hours later. I emailed the city about a bylaw issue, they responded within 4 hours. Even paying an unpleasant parking ticket is easy.

Great downtown area, huge place to carry out your government related work with a nice view of city places. You can find the first rail route, a view of lake Ontario, ferry ride and many touristing places near by with ample shops and restaurants to hang around. A 10/10 must visit place, do explore its night side.

Amrut Korde

The city of Kingston is an amazing place with some of the oldest infrastructures in Canada. Princesse Street is worth parking your car and walking/exploring the little local stores. Lots of young people. The City Hall looks amazing and well taken care of.

Robbie Pullman (Brushfyre)

Very fun and clean outdoor atmosphere. I had a chuckle. Ducks. And a vapor.

LDH RetiredAndTravelling

Kingston was such a great spot to visit for a few days with lots to see and do. A great downtown area. And fun to visit when the farmers market is on. For all about our trip to Kingston check out the RetiredAndTravelling blog post.

Jeff Campbell

Awesome people!

Simon Forrester

Fun to wander around this beautiful building.

Ryan Prosper

Downtown Kingston has a very historic feel with all the Victorian buildings. City Hall was originally built to be the House of Parliament for the United Provinces of Canada, the capital was moved to a more secure location, but the building was completed shortly after.

Mona Bhadauria

The city hall, though closed for visitors due to Covid, is a piece of antique yet modern history in the heart of Kingston Downtown! It stands beautifully and is visible from afar. The embellishments and lights on Christmas not only add to the spirit of the City but also keep the nights bedazzled! The backside of city-centre is also home to Local sellers on weekends with farm fresh produce and a lot of hand made goods???? At night, you can seldom see the lights dancing while relaxing on the muskoka chairs and listening to local musicians spread magic through their music ❤️ it's a must must visit. Park your car in one of municipal paid parkings and roam around exploring the heart of Kingston!

Jorge Barbosa B.

Excellent service

Reza Matin

It is very beautiful ????

Domas More

A smug and entitled town where decisions are made behind closed doors. A place where innovation comes to die.

Tom Uzi

A free tour is my kind of tour, of course I left a tip for our tour guide. A self guided tour was restricted to the 1st and 2nd floor, you have to have an escourt to get to the bell tower. Langdon was our guide and was a fine young man and was very informative. He was able to accommodate a quick tour due to our time constraints. This place is a gem and has free wifi for us travelers that have no roaming capability. The area around City Hall is very lively. The day and night time experiences are very different. Parking is on the street and is metered till 6pm.

nice place to go

Robert Cox

Check out the free guided tours of City Hall. Famous for many things including where I became a Canadian. Sure there'll be a plaque one day.

James Hope

Good day

Wheelchair accessible facility with great interior architecture.

(Translated) I just love it ! Typically North American with its roof-dome, and at the same time so British. Kingston was a federal capital of Canada's nascent ... This probably explains also the majesty of the city hall. (Original) J'adore ! Typiquement nord américain avec son toit-coupole, et en même temps so british. Kingston fut un temps capitale fédérale du Canada naissant... Ceci explique sans doute aussi toute la majesté de l'hôtel de ville.

Detlef Rettig

(Translated) The Kingston City Hall of the former capital of Canada. The town hall was planned in 1841 when Kingston was just declared the capital. It was over shortly after completion. We came too late for a free tour. (Original) Die Kingston City Hall der einstigen Hauptstadt Kanadas. Das Rathaus wurde 1841 geplant, als Kingston gerade zur Hauptstadt erklärt wurde. Kurz nach der Fertigstellung war es damit vorbei. Für eine kostenlose Führungen kamen wir zu spät.

Monumental building in Kingston

A cool place to walk by

You get 2 weeks to dispute a parking ticket. Called every day but could not get through to a live person. Sent an email with pictures showing the lack of no parking signs anywhere. Received no response. Went down myself was told it was too late they can't do anything. They make it real easy to pay but if you try to dispute good luck.

Vishnu G

Nice place to take break and walk around

David Fair

Thank you so much Kingston City Hall for adding extra handicap parking for the snow much fun event. It means that people who are handicapped AR actually able to take part. I hope that this is something you will continue to do in the future. Again thank you very much.

goo eee

A wonderful building, full of old time charm.

Lindy Zywot

Beautiful old 19th century building which was originally designed as Canada's first Parliament building ,as Kingston was Canada's first Capital City! The capital was moved to Ottawa during the War of 1812 ,by Queen Victoria . Thus the building was never used as a Parliament. It is now Kingston's City Hall. The Countil Chamber is beautiful & has a stunning chandelier! The Memorial Hall has many historical paintings . It's well worth taking a tour . Note...Public washrooms, in the basement.

Batul Kagalwala

I went here to get my transit pass and the lady was so very helpful. The city hall is easy to locate and has a number of services available. The place is kept very neat and organized, staff know their job and things get done fast

John Wong

Very friendly volunteer gave us a tour and history about Kingston. The building itself tells you a lot about the history.

Amir G.
