Historical building and place, must visit when you visit this area. Place is scenic and beautiful with lake view, we were not allowed to visit the museum due to Covid-19. It has a restaurant which was also nice but we were not have time for food. The ancient ships were also amazing. This place has lots of photography potential. Enjoyed visiting with family.

We really enjoyed Discovery Harbour and areas around the Harbour. Parks and views. We found a waterfront and stopped with a lunch. The old ships were a very nice sight and great for a photo opportunity. Also there is a very nice restaurant with an outdoor patio. Places to stop in and buy souvenirs.
Perfect setting in a harbour with a well attended restaurant with a large outdoor patio. There is a nominal 5.00 per person to tour the site. Self guiding tour takes about one hour. The theme is the War of 1812, the Americans vs. British. The gentleman at entrance was very informative.
Discovery Harbour is a virtual treasure trove of knowledge, history, special events, theater, piers, nature, food and beverages. It was a great pleasure to see the Tall Ships that were docked there in 2019. At times, staff will not only be dressed in period costumes, they will enact daily life and/or memorable events. Every staff/security member I met was pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you all for making my visit a memorable one! Beautiful location, lots of things to do and see for every budget. Don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself and let me know how you feel about Discovery Harbour. Please check the website or call for COVID-19 hours, restrictions and/or other pertinent information. Be safe and enjoy Discovery Harbour.
Lots to do, especially during special events. Good value ticket prices if you buy them online. Ample parking shuttle bus due to the special event. Easily accessible bathrooms. My son and I visited Discovery Harbour for one of the Long Ship events during one summer weekend. There was a big War of 1812 battle re-enactment with many people participating. There were dozens of white, army tents pitched in neat military rows near the lake. We got to see canons, soldiers from the British and American sides and both sides \fighting\ it out in historic formation. There were also other historic figures such as a barrel cooper and field surgeon. It was very exciting. In addition to the battle, there were merchants hawking their wares, historical displays and the permanent exhibits on the grounds, such as the remains of the hull of the Tecumseth. And of course, there were also the the tall ships. We were able to go below two of the tall ships and it was really interesting to see the differences between a modern sailing ship and the historical replica of the one from the 1800s. Note: I have modified some of the photos of the soldiers to help maintain their privacy. I just applied some artistic filters to the actual photos.
