    Super cute place to walk around. The tick notice scares people but the area is mowed so it's not too dangerous if you stay out of the tall grass. I hope the parking fees go to the upkeep of the birdhouses as they are very pricey for the area. Nice area to walk around.

    Interesting place with many different birdhouses. Nice picnic spot but be careful of the bugs. Parking cost is $5 and has to be paid through the app "pay by phone".

    A very neat little place to visit on your way through Picton. It's very peaceful and serene. There are so many bird houses to see that it's hard to pick a favourite!

    Really cool bird houses. If you are looking for something easy to go do, there is a bird house that should interest everyone in your group. Walking on grass but nicely cut when we walked it. Some bird houses are missing maybe out for repairs I hope! But most are works of art!

    Such a quaint place to visit. Loved the scan codes to hear about the ideas behind the birdhouses.

    This is a unique stop (you can even see it from the road). Walk by the unique birdhouses. Some have qr codes to scan, but I didn't try.

    Interesting designs and a good variety of houses. Some were away for maintenance but there were still many to view. Be careful of ticks and stay on the mowed paths.

    Very cool place to visit...

    Good location to explore on your own. Birdhouses are quirky and need time to view completely. Surroundings are pretty barren, do not visit during rain or snow because the walkways are not paved.

    Really cool concept and amazing birdhouses!

    Fun place to visit. A creative, local project. A great family, free activity. They posted to watch for tics, made me nervousm

    Adorable little stop. Loved the unique birdhouses. Make sure to stay on the pathways, as there were signs for ticks in the area.

    This place is an excellent location to observe miniature birdhouses. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Birdhouse City in Prince Edward County is a must-visit for any bird enthusiast. It is a unique outdoor art exhibit featuring over 100 birdhouses, each with its own distinctive design and theme. Visitors can learn about different bird species and their habitats while admiring the creativity and craftsmanship of the birdhouses. Unfortunately, there is a drawback to this location, as the cost of paid parking is quite high, and the website seems to have some functionality issues. Despite our intention of only spending an hour or so there, the website repeatedly prompted us to pay for a minimum of three hours, which seemed unjustified.

    Lol very cool spot here showcasing these amazing little miniature birdhouses. Literally little houses. There are so many different ones and I believe some of them are replicas of various structures in Picton and Prince Edward County. It’s worth a visit. Very odd though that I never did see any birds while I was there. 😂 👍☺️

    Lots of different bird houses to see. Bird houses represent actual places in the local area. Some are broken/need repairing but neat nonetheless! There are some nearby trails for hiking too

    We visited in September, all the residents seem to have left, it's a ghost town!

  • 4/5 Tamara A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a quiet place to enjoy. The walk in the conservation park we didn't do as it was wet and not properly prepared for walking wet trails. Loved seeing the different bird houses. The posts need more qr codes to expand interest on the different houses

    Super cute idea! All the birdhouses were special and unique. A few were in bad shape. I’m curious how often the birds nest in these…
