What a fantastic guide. It wasn't busy- and the person was kind enough to customize the tour due to my younger companion! Despite the weather- we enjoyed our own self tour and guided tour. The horses were a hoot! Personalities really show through. We loved finding the hidden spots for the art installations I'm excited to see how it comes alive in the summer.

I’ve always loved places that preserve history and make you feel connected to the past. Black Creek Village is one of those spots that does it beautifully. The staff, dressed in period costumes, really add to the authentic atmosphere. They’re patient, friendly, and genuinely eager to share their knowledge about the village’s history and daily life in the old days. It’s a perfect place for a one day visit, relaxing, and full of charm. If you enjoy historical sites and a glimpse into the past, I definitely recommend it.

Amazing experience overall. Place is huge and well maintained. Staff are friendly and wearing traditional clothing dated back to 1800-1900 timeline. They have events to add cultural value and we were lucky enough to experience Spanish dance and Drumming performance. There is paved and unpaved parking however it has a fixed fee (approx 9$) We will surely visit this wonderful historical village again when whether settles a bit. Keep minimum two hours to enjoy every attraction. Presto card holders get a small discount.

I recently visited The Village at Black Creek and had such a great experience! The place is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and offers a perfect blend of community and comfort. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and everything from the landscaping to the amenities shows how much care goes into keeping the place in great shape. It truly feels like a warm and inviting community highly recommend checking it out!

The Village at Black Creek is a wonderful step back in time! The historic buildings, costumed interpreters, and hands-on activities make it feel like you’re truly experiencing 19th-century village life. Every corner has something interesting — from the working blacksmith shop and print shop to the schoolhouse and general store. We enjoyed strolling through the peaceful grounds, chatting with the interpreters who shared fascinating stories, and seeing the heritage gardens in bloom. The attention to detail in both the buildings and the demonstrations is outstanding. It’s educational, fun, and beautifully maintained — a perfect outing for families, history lovers, or anyone looking for a unique day trip.

Awesome place for having a fun day with family. A old but live village from 200 years ago right in the heart of Toronto. I was there twice and both times I enjoyed and learned a lot. People who worked there (I don’t know if they are stuff or volunteers) are nice, kind and knowledgeable. Give it a try and make lots of great memories.

I recently had the opportunity to visit The Village at Black Creek, and it was a truly memorable experience that blends history, charm, and community spirit. The staff were knowledgeable and incredibly friendly—always eager to answer questions and share stories that brought the village to life. One of the unexpected highlights? The freshly baked cookies and white bread—absolutely 10/10! Delicious and authentic, they added a warm, homey touch to the visit. It’s a great spot for families, history lovers, or anyone looking to experience a bit of the past in an engaging and welcoming setting.

This is a historical place worth seeing. I was surprised by the location . I’ve passed this street by car so many times and never knew about it! You’ll feel like you’ve gone back to the 1800s and get to experience life from those days for a couple of hours. The bakery was great. I got fresh bread made in the traditional way. Be prepared for a long walk!
