- Jeff BLambton Shores, Canada364 contributionsOur absolute favourite brewery. We came to Barrie for 3 days and stopped here 4 times. Once for lunch (thanks Brian for your excellent service) and 3 times for drinks. The staff are so friendly. We drive 3 hours a couple times a year to come here and walk the beautiful waterfront.Written June 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jsca777Windsor, Canada143 contributionsSunnidale is well maintained, quite a few trails and a decent amount of parking. Quite a few trees to provide shade as well. Great place to go for people of all ages.Written May 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Bucko007Sudbury, Canada454 contributionsBeautiful area for walking and biking. Trails are clean and well maintained. Beaches are well groomed as are the beach volleyball courts. Boat launch is nearby. Plenty of playgrounds for kids. Only downfall is the paid parking. Super expensive. It is $10/hour. It could cost you up to $50 for the day. Yikes. Maybe they want to encourage public transport.Written June 4, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- William H3 contributionsIt's a lovely area with great walking trails and very close to downtown. Excited to explore more of the bluffsWritten March 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SunnySally18Barrie, Canada2 contributionsEven more fun than expected! Can't wait to go back next year!
If you're a grown-up, be ready to be sore the next day from slipping and sliding all over the place and using all of those muscles that have been laying dormant to pull yourself back onto this floating gymnasium after falling in ... many, many times. But so worth it! Had an absolutely fantastic time. Kids love it and great workout too!
Several lifeguards close by, life jackets mandatory and included in price. Seems altogether very safe but expect to get a scrape or two from the inflatable seams.
No lockers available (as of this year) but they'll hold onto your car keys so that you can lock your valuables inside your car.
Make sure to slather on lots of sunscreen!Written September 3, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Fresh picked, sweet, great people and if you have kids along, tons of fun.Written October 6, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hodophilian3 contributionsLovely small sandy beach with limited parking beside Yacht Club. Has some lovely waterfront trails for biking and walking. A few kilometres from downtown Barrie.Written June 13, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Oxyfish1Deddington, UK105 contributionsWe enjoyed the food court. The fries from NYF were hot and delicious. The gyros from Feta and Olive was tasty but small on the portion size. The rest of the mall was a decent size. There was a good range of stores, but some were a little on the small side.Written August 6, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Janie HBarrie, Canada40 contributionsThe Maclaren is a small gallery which has rotating exhibits. It doesn't take long to wander through it, and it has free entry-although you can put a donation in the donation box. There is a very good gift shop with locally made wares. There is also a very good cafe, which serves great lunches and coffee.Written February 5, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KarenW2Barrie, Canada62 contributionsThis beach has a nice play area for kids. It has been cleaned up by the city so it is much nicer than before, but the city loses points since they have made it much more difficult for kayakers, paddle boards, and windsurfers to access the water, You now have to scramble over shrubs and large boulders. This was once an active beach for the windsurfers and the city knew that going in to the new landscaping. It looks nice, but if beaches are for everyone to use they screwed up on this one.Written January 12, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
