Historic, guided tour of the Roosevelt home and surrounding cottages, sitting room for a movie to relate the Roosevelt family and outgoing. The park is inviting with its hundred of species of flowers, its beach, its forests.... Natural surroundings and peaceful. Available park for bus tours.

It was fun to take the ferries and island hop back to the US. This free International Park was beautiful and educational. I wanted to move right into the house it was a very comfortable setting and you could see why the rich families enjoyed this area. Worth a short visit even with young kids. I remember going to Williamsburg... More

Our visit Roosevelt Campobello International Park was on an overcast day but was still a great place to visit. The self guided tour of the house was enhanced by the period dressed docents that were very knowledgeable and willing to share their information. If you get a chance, take part in the one hour tea and cookies discussion of the... More

we happened to catch it on the last day it was open for the season but it was still very, very interesting and all was available to see. Found it quite interesting Roosevelt went to Canada for a vacation home! Great vacation and site while he was young and then when he was older-a must for everyone to visit!!

I am averse to historical museums. But the Roosevelt International Park is a great exception. It is aesthetically beautiful and historically acute. I learned more about pre-WWII American politics and politicians from this wonderfully visitor-friendly site than I did from ponderous classes and articles. The guides and docents are well-versed and friendly; the adjacent museum is small but incredibly effective,... More

In between Saint John, NB and Bar Harbour, ME; we made a side trip to Roosevelt Campebello to check out the playground of FDR. The visitor's center does a great job of chronicalling the Roosevelt families time on this island as well as FDR's presidency. Very educational. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive to our questions.

Loved the period architecture and beautifully maintained properties... Uniquely operated by both the Canadian and American governments, this is a great way to spend half a day exploring... Bring a picnic, there are plenty of beautiful spots to relax and make it a full day of it.

A visit to the Roosevelt cottage on Campobello is an experience no American should miss, especially in light of the personal extravagance of today's politicians. The comfortable, but sparse rooms are meticulously maintained, as are the grounds. We were lucky enough to experience the free "Tea with Eleanor" where 2 very articulate and well informed guides shared stories about the... More
