Black Creek Pioneer Village is a perfect snapshot of 1800s Toronto.
There’s a gift shop where you can find rare pioneer-era items like old-fashioned candies, gardens to explore, animals to see and authentic pioneer buildings and settlers who encourage the asking of a lot of questions. Visit the blacksmith shop, the school, the tinsmith and the doctor’s house for an realistic early Toronto experience.
There’s also the Historic Brewery Restaurant and Pub, found in the famous Half Way House that was built in 1847. This restaurant serves mostly authentic and local fare, although it is safe to bet that grilled chicken panini wraps were not very popular in the 1800s. The Pavilion Snack Bar and Barbeque is also around, with an outdoor eating area perfect for grabbing a quick lunch while you explore.
Each day at Black Creek Pioneer Village promises something new, and the village often holds various holiday events, such as the upcoming Father’s Day festivities and celebrations.
For the rest of June, the village is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from July to Labour Day the village will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends and holidays throughout the summer, the village is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
