I went on a field trip here recently and it was soooo good!!!! There is a tiny set put up beside the store and we also went to the schoolhouse! The teachers were so nice!! They even let us go on stilts!!!!??? Also the houses are super duper pretty I can't believe Daniel made such a nice 2 story house by himself!!! Also I really wanted to buy something from the 1800S WALMART!!!!!!! They had everything!!! The hardware shop was way too good because the guy there made some decorated square which was super cool!!!! This is such a good place to go!

I visited as a school aged child and loved it. Now that our child is of age and interested, we thought we’d take a field trip here to support their private schooling. Then Black Creek went DEI heavy and released the name change, and the plan to partner with “equity deserving communities” to “integrate” them. This is history, not a popularity contest. This is ridiculous but completely foreseeable. We told our child and they decided that they want to see real history, not that which is framed in a contemporary light. They’re 11. We scraped the idea and we’re doing cross States instead, working with museums that just teach history, not political nonsense. Such a shame. It was a great place to visit.

After reading the reviews, we were quite excited to visit the Black Creek Pioneer Village. We reached the location half an early and waited till the publicly listed opening time (11 a.m.). But when we got to the door, we found that the Museum is temporarily closed until April 20, 2024. We just ended up paying for the parking and for no reason. It would be great if the village was marked temporarily shut on Google or the owners made an update in the 'Update' section.We are now disappointed travelers from Calgary.

I remember Pioneer Village very well! I was a child when I went with my class. I am now 62. It was a crazy thing we discovered! While sitting under a tree, I saw a piece of plastic and pulled it out of the ground. It was filled with 50 cent pieces. Of course, I was excited and told the other children. We all started pulling up bags of coins. The teacher at the time caught us and let the staff know. We had to give all the coins back. I wonder where it came from and if it was ever written about. Crazy!

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!

Pretty fun blast from the past. There were all sorts of fascinating historical curiosities to see and learn about.My kids, 3 and 5 were a bit too young to be fully immersed into the environment, but they did enjoy the demonstrations and animals. I'm not sure if it was because it was low season, but it did seem like several of the regular events/demonstrations were not open.It would've been helpful to have some kind of schedule available so that we could have planned our visit around the places that did have demos or talks going on.

Black Creek Pioneer Village in Ontario is a captivating step back in time, offering an immersive experience of 19th-century rural Ontario life. With over 40 restored heritage buildings, including homes, workshops, and a blacksmith's shop, the village authentically showcases the lifestyles of the era. Knowledgeable costumed interpreters bring history to life, engaging visitors with demonstrations of traditional crafts, trades, and daily activities. The attention to detail and historical accuracy create an enriching educational experience for all ages. The serene ambiance, coupled with seasonal events like the Christmas by Lamplight, adds an extra layer of charm to this living history museum. However, some visitors might find limited food options on-site. Overall, Black Creek Pioneer Village is a delightful journey into Canada's past, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts and families alike.

did the haunted night walk on Friday the 13th.had the honour if having Kate as our guide. Kate was unbelievably kind and was a great storyteller.they do provide flashlights, but I recommend them to them. Please teach those users to use them properly. a lot of the walkers in our group that were in front of us had it flashing directly in our eyes.

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 sightingI'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.
