Royal Botanical Gardens - Arboretum
Botanical garden
👍 A beautiful location in the winter with endless trails to explore. Beautiful scenery looking over the lake or from lookout locations. Really a must to beautiful views, adventure, hiking and a healthy lifestyle.
Parking is pay per use but in my view worth the cost.

👍👍 We did the sloth encounter and had a once and a life time experience! We learned so much and had a wonderful time. The staff clearly love all of the animals and take such wonderful care of them. After our encounter we stayed for an animal show, these are part of the general admission and were fan...

👍 I gave four stars because I went by bus from Hamilton and found getting back to the bus stop inconvenient but if you are driving, there is plenty of parking.
I was happy to pay the $10 entrance fee for access only to the Lake Garden instead of having to pay general admission.
I enjoyed a peaceful st...

During the winters many people are out tobogganing or walking up and down the 250 steps leading up the hill. The waterfall is hard to see but once you get to the top you have a clear view of it. I'd reco...
