Very nice guided tour for young kids. A good venue to have family and friends reunion. Animals are kid's favorite and staff are very kind and knowledgeable. Love the experience.
Old historical place with traditional buildings and shops. Definitely a different experience out of the ordinary for anyone like to experience
I didnt know Black Creek Pioneer Village was a wedding venue, but im REALLY glad they are because its nothing short of goregous! As a wedding photographer, I shoot weddings all across Canada, so Ive seen hundreds of indoor/outdoor venues throughout my career, but I was absolutly amazed when I photographed a wedding here!
There are SO many spots that have beautiful sunlight peaking through which gives your images that glowly dreamy look! The grounds are beautiful maintained and has lots of rustic architecture to play with!
Pro-tip: Theres lots of buildings and windows around the grounds to give your photos a variety of looks!

BCPV is such a great afternoon experience for adults and kids. It's not too large or exhausting, and really feels like a mini theme park world - but a non-tacky one. Note that there weren't great food options there (we had a cold, pricey sandwich on a weekday December visit). But lots of Canadian history, informative tour guides, and a great gift shop - will be back again when the weather is warm!
It is a great place to experience the old times in Canada. You can see couple of people with old outfits to help you absorb the vibe.
It was a pitty that couple of houses were closed and the dollhouse exibition was not there anymore...

I was here last night on a group tour, most kids in third grade would have remembered pioneer village.
But at night it was definitely different.
The lovely Kent from haunted tours, took us around stopping at select houses and telling us the backstories and occurrences that have happened. Or so they say....
The one house I felt my chest get heavy and a slight headache was the Maser house. Located across the cemetery. Listen carefully to the story and be careful during your visit.
All in all , it was a good walk and cool ro see the village. I recommend it.
**** possible sighting
I've attached 2 photos taken by the cemetery. Look above the tallest tombstone between the 2 posted here. There is a red orb.
Happy travels.

It was so entertaining. This museum beautifully captures the essence of the 18 century, showcasing the lifestyles, houses, and jobs of that era. A fascinating journey into history! Well organized.
This wonderful place gives you a great idea how the pioneers and early immigrants live in Toronto area. The Stong family (came to Canada 🇨🇦 from Ireland during the potato famine in 1830-40s) houses, tinsmith, blacksmith, printing shop, physician house, local hotel and brewery are all to be seen in this beautiful place. Tickets cost $18 per adult. Parking is extra. There is a shop to buy some souvenirs.
Is a great place to spend a day outdoors.
The houses are small and the village isn't so big but there are benches along the way you can sit and enjoy an afternoon.
You can also buy some food and drinks and yes they sell beer!

We've been here many times but it is still enjoyable. The kids (teenager and beyond) still enjoy the outing. Watching the 'free run' chickens was very enjoyable. They seemed very happy. The Billy goat enjoyed her rake message. The sheep is very friendly. We visited the different houses and the attendant tells a good history, but the barn animals are so alluring.
Great place to learn more about the history. When I walked in, it felt like stepping into the Netflix series "Wednesday"!
The area is spacious, taking around 2 more hours. Be aware of the sun! Make sure to do some prevention in advance.
Also has a great souvenir store inside!
I went there on Canada Open Day 2023; not sure if it needs a ticket or not.

Set in the 1860's and overall a great experience.
Some things to note:
You can get a discount for parking so bring your parking ticket with you when you go inside to buy the ticket for the village. At the counter you can ask them to add parking and they give it to you for a bit cheaper.
It did seem a bit deserted on a Sunday and a lot of the places did not have any people in them to guide you. It was if they were opening them slowly even though it was 1pm and they close at 4pm.
There are not a lot of food options there so bring snacks! They do sell cookies and bread there but it was expensive. For example, it was $1 per cookie as it is freshly made. It is hard to find water there so it is better to bring a water bottle with you.
It would take a total of 2 hours to go through everything.
