Such a great little gem!
Arrived with 7 people on a Tuesday for a late lunch. The place wasn’t too busy.
Service was quick, and the food was great! I had the “Antonio in the Grass” sandwich with mac salad. The chicken cutlet was excellent, as was the mac salad.
Def worth a stop!

Barrie KOA Holiday
This was the closest KOA to Toronto so we decided to stay a few nights. Check in was simple and easy. There is a gate with a code, however everytime we returned they just opened the gate for us.
As far as amenities, we were happy. The shop was pretty cute and they also had a restaurant. We only got snack type food but they had a restaurant with a small menu. They would even deliver to your site! (Breakfast starts at 9, which isn’t ideal though)
The pool and playground area was really nice and well maintained. There were a ton of scheduled activities however, we didnt do any of them.
The site it self was full hookups. We were on the upper section and had to back in. The ground was all a mix of sand/dirt/grass and was pretty uneven.
My biggest complaint was the noise. I know this is largely dependent on the luck of who our neighbors were, but they were LOUD. It was a large group that shared about 3 sites. Every night they had a fire with singing and chanting. Their fire pit was about 10 feet from our trailer window. There was ZERO courtesy to move to one of the other 2 fire pits they had access too. They also had a dog that was constantly barking.
The only way to drown out the noise was with the AC and/or noise machines.
Overall it was a good experience. We would stay again.

Lakeshore Camp Resort
This place was…..interesting. We only picked this location for its closeness to Indiana Dunes National Park.
First of all, the community is gated and they have someone at the gate monitoring who enters. They are very strict with the 5.5 speed limit…which I understand but why the half!?!?
Most of the park (I’d say 80%) appeared to be permanent spots. Not all, but a lot of the trailers were decrepit and incapable of moving anywhere.
The roads were narrow, and in poor condition. The site was pull through which was great, however it was very small. There is also a lot of noise from both the highway and the live band that played until at least 10pm.
Expect to see golf carts everywhere!
There were a lot of amenities however we were just passing through and didn’t take advantage of any of them.
There is also a $20 resort fee ON TOP of the nightly rate (which was like $60)
Overall it was a fine experience, but I hated the vibe.

Shedd Aquarium
We arrived just prior to opening on a Monday morning and were the first in line. The employees came out and scanned our tickets about 5 minutes before opening which was promptly at 9.
All the employees we encountered were friendly and willing to help.
The aquarium itself is huge with plenty to see and do! There are several hands on exhibits where you can touch stingrays, starfish and sturgeon (fish)!
They also have a dolphin tank with shows, and a theatre for various movies.
The gift shop was huge!
Everything was clean and well taken care of.
We parked down the road at the big lot near the planetarium for $12.
Overall a great experience.
