Reviews of Colasanti's (Zoo)

Ryan Holman

You just can't beat this unique experience. Something for everyone!!

Harshit Jadav

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 down. My son and I were very disappointed. Then we visited the nursery and Christmas decorations and did some shopping as well. It would have been very nice if the kids department was open. The website or google don’t have any news about closed kids section. But overall nice visit.

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.

Ashley Crawford

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!

Corey Jacquot

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.

Randy Marion

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.

Mark Nenadov

Fun place to visit for the kids. Lots to do and good food!

Tracey MacPherson

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.

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.

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.

JAY BALE

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" .

Benjamin Groen

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.

Jon B

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.

Lisa Tam

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.

Patrick Morency

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 .

Cynthia Padilla

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 .

Reza Bihamta

Good place for kids and even adults! Fries are super delicious too!

Mark Rosenthal

Great ! Broasted chicken and fresh donuts to go ! ???? Best in the county ! ???? ????

Warren Gibson

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.

Jonathan Toney

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.

steve sebele

Full covid protocols in effect. need vaccine to use arcade or mini golf. most areas open and still a great day out.

Laurie Ryan

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.

Samantha PT

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!

Henry Martens

Great staff lots to do with kids. Great gift ideas. Good food.

Alyssa Mary

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.

B Graham

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!

Totally Taggart

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 ????

Zane Yount

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!

TJ Coates

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.

Mo Alziq

Fun times at Colasanti’s. Wide selection of plants, nice arcades area, food is great especially the apple cider and of course the animals!

sam richardson

My family loves the broasted chicken, fries and gravy and peach juice. Also now love the pizza but altogether very pricey.

Leon

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!

Chris Grompson

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.

Tim “TiMBoLiSk” Woodman

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.

Andres Ivanov

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.

sen chu

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!

Don and Wendy LaPrise

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.

Lyndsay M

Food was very good but a little bit on the pricey side.

Peter DeGuire

Great selection of very healthy plants as well as accessories. Restaurant offers good selection and prices are reasonable. A favorite place to visit.

Jennifer Garant

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.

Angela R

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!!

Amber J

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.

Vickie Smith Burgon

Love this place. Have since I was a child! Great family activities, beautiful plants and delicious food!!

John “FattGrandpa” McLarnon

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.

Johan Knelsen

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.

Rajesh Jude

Good place to visit once in a while especially with family. Their fried chicken is so good and definitely a must try. ????

Anthony Mendoza

Great food... kids will enjoy.. great source of plants and flower.. a must when in Windsor

Alexis Fluit

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.

Bryan M

So much to do with the kids! Plenty of things to buy as well.

Mebb86

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????

Oluwajoba Hassan

Great place to have fun with the family and do show shopping.

Baba Ku

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.

Rob Cribbie

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.

Rijo sam mathew

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.

Home Account

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.

cas

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.

David Huynh

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. ????

KAR

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!

Emma Catherine

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.

Pandaz_Gamin

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.

Kristyn Smith

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.

Brandon

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.

Lo Lo

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.

Tiffany Field

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.

Divya Tewari

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! :)

Margaret

The food was great...but way too hot

Erin Anderson

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.

Polar_souls

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.

Tina Fields

Love bringing my grandchildren here they have everything for toddlers to elderly and everyone in between

Christa Simpson

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.

The Cars Garage

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.

Larry T

Calasantis is ok. I get they are not a non profit and like to make a revenue. But the pricing has become a little over the top. This used to be an amazing place to bring your family on an outing. Believe me, been doing it for 30+ years. Now its like you have to take out a second morgage to enjoy it. The rides average about $5 a ride. Which seems a bit ludicrous. Im not paying that for a 4 year old. Maybe one ride, thats it. But I was able to look beyond that. Again, i get maintenance and employees cost money. Then we go to the petting zoo. $27.00 at 4:00pm on a Saturday for 2 adults and 4 little kids. No outside zoo because the cold. No shows bc they stopped at 3pm and only birds and lizards that I can see for free at super pet. If you dont have shows after 3pm and a large section closed off for the winter why charge full rate???? Dont get me wrong. I love Calasantis and will continue to support their business by purchasing plants and maybe a dinner or two. But I will no longer pay to visit an aging empty petting zoo and over priced rides. Maybe its just me. I recomend you visit this attraction. But please be prepared to spend $200.00+ on an afternoon visit with a medium size family.

Paige Thomson

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

Tollish Idunno

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.

Lauri Groulx

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.

Bryan B

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.

J.P. Dorey Jr.

Great food was had! Supper for the family, dinner for 6; great price and taste! Excellent! My heard is happy and full!

Travellizta N

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.

Christian Khuong

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.

Purple J

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.

Danielle Larabie

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.

Sandy Middleton

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.

Mr. Scott Just

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.

Cami Moore

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.

Gabe B

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

Daniver Chick

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

victoria gonzalez

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????

Tim Kersmaekers

Nice place to eat, especially with kids. Good variety on the menu. No complaints ????

Baman Tadiwala

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.

Andrea Descargar

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.

Camryn Bolohan

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!

MJ News

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.

Lozt Dog

Excellent and always fun to visit

Andrew Marissen

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.

Andrea H

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.

Paul Coleman

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.

Frantik Tv

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.

Christina Boyd

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

Jim Hubert

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?

Bob&Carole Manor

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.

Patrick Ivan

5 stars for some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. Well worth the trip when visiting family in Kingsville.

Bryan Little

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!!!.

Amanda Anne

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!

sherri goff

They have the best broasted chicken and ribs. Believe me, Its worth the drive.

Paul Patterson

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.

Hui Lin

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

Emma Turner

Amazing variety and amazing prices....cute pots and decor. Never tried their food...but apparently it's good

mel Brown

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!!

Alyson McPherson-Frazer

Excellent selection..price's are reasonable..Knowledgeable staff..hand sanitizer throughout the greenhouse. Well planned areas during this pandemic.

Lisa Cornellier-Seguin

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.

interesting nightwatch

Great place to take your kids/ grandchildren. Or just a nice day out. So much to see and explore.

Matt Roberts

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.

Jon Lebold

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.

Margaret Kaczmarek

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.

Helpful info Billy

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

ena colmenares

Great variety of plants. Good price. Different articles to decorate.

Will

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.

Anh Le

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.

Love the broasted chicken and potatoes.. Staff is always friendly as well.

Easter Brunch.. Worst severice ever.. never again.. My family has been coming here for years. We made reservations....as always.. and as always family member showed up 5 mins apart. There was no line for reservations..everyone was made to wait in line with the people without reservations..and the little 12yo girls walking up and down the line of fruatrated people were standoffish and rude.. By the time each family member made it through the line, paid, get a plate of food and made it to our reserved table... everyone else at our reserved table was done eating... becuase of this unorganized mess, we took up a table for 2 hrs.. others who didnt have reservations wait that much longer.. we had 3 young children in our group.. waiting so long.. unbelievable mess.. my family and many other families will never be back.. . never again.. with business struggling, they need to find new ways to attract new customers while keeping their old.. I hope they figure it out.. becuase of this is an example of what's to come... it was a tragic fail.

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.

Larry Douglass

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.

Valerie Ney

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.

Yudi Persaud

Staff is friendly and always willing to help very pleasant experience here any time I visit.

Scott Jackson

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.

kevin archer

Good family place with food, arcade games, and animals.

Amanda F

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.

Assunta Wilcox

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 .

Ron Barrett

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.

Ron Pillon

Went to Colasanti’s yesterday bought Red pepper soup, different from the last time we bought it, It was very salty I will not eat the other two soups. Making aware those are who have to reduce salt content because of health reasons. Please put content of the salt in the label. Thank you

Yanni Crisco

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??

Jp

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 !

Rami Mardini

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.

Lillian Kruzsely

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.

CoffeeBreak

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!

FalonandJason Lussier

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.

AJ Tadpole

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.

P K

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

Brittney S

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.

Alex McMahon

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!

JC N

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.

Christel Manners

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 .

Nikki DeCou

Amazing donuts. Fun arcade, terrible quality of prizes for tickets tho lol.

Cee Cee Lemon

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.

Diannah G

Every other year the selection has been phenomenal, this year it was succulents galore pretty much.

Sara Mendes

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 at 2 weeks return or exchange and won't accommodate at all. I had such a disappointing experience today at Colasantis over an exchange for an item that was purchased over a month ago and it was damaged because of the way it was packed at cash out . Receipt was provided, tag and pricing still on item and it was not used . I ended up just leaving the item behind as it was useless to me . I am out of the money and they lost my business. Be aware .

Jesi Jess

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❤️

stephen marion

For the first day back open they had everything in place and did a great job!

B Ryan

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.

Anna Exter

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.

Natalie M.

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!

Spencer Redmond

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!

Kayla Murphy

There's better cinnamon donuts in the county! Made a trip out and timed it perfect for a fresh batch and ????

Mike Hutch

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.

Sky Baby

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.

Cheryl Murray

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.

Linda Miller

Always a nice time at Colasanti's. Food, plants, arcade, zoo. Something for everyone.

Amanda Vasquez

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.

Cortny Fraser

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.

Tyler Bezaire

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.

Camryn Moerchen

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!

Jim Lemire

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.

Tracy Hawley

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.

Binita Adhikari

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!

kristina rudzki

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.

Debbie Labelle

Always love going to see what they have. Great choices, prices and food.

Kelly Martin

This place is a big part of my childhood! I grew up coming here and continue to go because it's a lot of fun for friends, family or even a chill date. Get the donuts!

Shannon Munson

Great fresh food ordered and ready in 15 min. Broasted chicken, potatoes, fries, pasta and more. Delicious!
