12 Must-Visit Gems in Kingston, Ontario

Dan Hoysted Randomly found and went to check out this place recently while in Kingston with a bit of time to kill. Its located inside one of the large University buildings and theres some street parking nearby. Helped ourselves into the museum as there didn’t seem to be any front desk or person around at all. The display area itself is surprisingly large and contains hundreds of mineral samples nicely labelled and displayed. Parts of the museum are aging and appear somewhat neglected. If you like rocks or just looking for a free thing to do in Kingston check this place out.

Jeremy Dang A very cute park by the water front near city hall. There are a few landmarks worth exploring including the train engine. Public washroom is available and open as of July 3rd. We happen to also come across a live band playing upbeat music from the current generation.

Colleen Weeks What a blast! This was our first experience here. (We drove from Renfrew Ont) Probably one of the best escape rooms we have been to! Our host Liz, was very knowledgeable and patient to answer questions before we began! The escape rooms were challenging and the set up was amazing and very creative. We made it to the final room and ran out of time… Liz was so kind to show us where we went wrong and we finished quickly leaving us with an accomplished feeling… well worth the cost! We will be back!

Colin Cummins Very good mid size park. Love to help the city make it an A1 park to go too.

James Reid Funeral Home & Cremation This is a delightful, intriguing, well-textured museum that holds the stories of how all of us were cared for in Kingston in the last several hundred years. I learned so much from the Rockwood exhibition about psychiatric care. We are pleased to support this special museum as it highlights a social and physical need, health care. History helps us think through what we are doing today.

Mayukh Bagchi Beautiful place to take a quite walk!

Saramad Mohammad reza (MrSaramad) Kingston is Very beautiful place and have delicious tacos.

E G This place is a good stop if you need a washroom break, to stretch your legs, or admire the city for a short period of time. The sign is a good structure for taking photos. Its just missing the "I" which I think is intentional so people can stand in its place. The visitors here were very polite in taking turns with photos, and its not busy at all when we visited in the early weekend afternoon. Theres limited free parking here too. Come by to take some memorable shots at this Kingston sign!

Isaiah Mcarthur As a spiritial person HOLY SMOKES As a tourist awesome i even got a pic of a old headstone stand in the play ground pretty surr they moved everyone quitely and the park itself small peaceful mot huanted at all. You could feel the history.

William Schmidt Fairfield Park is a great roadside stop to stretch your legs with water access, lots of picnic spots, a food truck, and it has the historic distinction of being the first Loyalist Homestead. Playground There’s a great little play structure with two slides and a climbing wall for toddlers unlike any I have seen before. Restrooms There are on site, restrooms, and Porta potties. Dog-friendliness With a long rock and stone shore line, there are lots of spots for dogs to launch into the water without bothering others. Picnic area The entire length of the park has benches and picnic tables.

Jeff Walsh As far as I know this isnt a public attraction. It is a working military establishment.

Anne I had so much fun in this beautiful tourist spot. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy the views again!"
