Please lower admission prices - $8 per adult plus $5 parking is expensive and I’m less likely to return when it costs $30 for my family to enjoy the trails for an hour. The space is beautiful but it’s difficult to justify spending $30.
Attended a wedding here. Beautiful location, amazing food and friendly staff. Lisa the bar tender knew everyone’s drink and was super fun and professional.
Our server Praneet, was honestly the best ever please give this individual a raise or promotion. Our table was alot to handle and they served us gracefully and with such speed, handling all of our bizarre requests with ease and going as far to offer iced coffee even it wasn't on the service menu! 💜 The venue was also a great location totally recommend to anyone planning an event and loves nature!
I am getting married later this year at Kortright and just had the menu tasting. Kanak has been amazing throughout the entire process and answers every question we have (and super fast!) thoroughly. Roslyn and Antonio were so lovely, personable, and charming, and we hope to see them back at our wedding (please!!!). Antonio — you made our night are were hilarious! I have heard horror stories from friends getting married at other venues and this could not be further from our experience with Kortright. :)
Great experience with our 2 and 5 year told for the maple syrup festival! It was a busy weekend (Parking lot pretty full) but inside the grounds it didn’t feel crowded at all. Really well organized walk through the woods learning about the history of maple syrup. It was interactive throughout and the kids were really entertained. Very reasonably priced tickets and gift shop. Only thing is very limited lunch options (long line for pancakes) so we regretted not packing a lunch. Otherwise, great experience and would definitely recommend!
We had a great time visiting the Maple Syrup Festival this year. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable, the facilities were clean, and the food menu looked outstanding.
Now, we went on a week-day so we didn't expect everything to be in full swing, but it was March break so we expected a bit more than we got. Around the facility, there was no sign of a Festival at all. There were no exhibits, no music, and very little signage telling you where to go to find the actual tour.
Once we asked the staff inside where to go, we found that all of the exhibits are down an enormous hill. Now, for the average person this hill is likely fine; however we had someone with a very bad back in our party and the hill was very steep for them on the way back up.
The staff at each exhibit were amazing, and we did learn a lot about Maple Syrup production, and the health of the trees through the process.
There was also a horse and buggy ride that was quite short, but very well done. The horses were beautiful, the drivers were great and the buggy (more of a covered wagon with bench seats around the perimeter) was in great shape.
Again, maybe it was due to the low amount of attendees at the time, or the fact that we went on a week day (during March break) but we were somewhat underwhelmed overall as we were expecting to go to a "Festival". We've been to other festivals around the area at other Conservation areas, and there was a bit more life to them.
Overall though, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend visiting and learning something new about the Maple Syrup process. We would just set your expectations that you're likely not going to spend the whole day there. As one activity in a planned day of activities, it's a great stop.

Our wedding at Kortright was beautiful, it's an absolutely stunning venue in the evening once all the bistro lights are turned on. The staff was all very kind and the food was delicious. I wouldn't change a thing about our day at Kortright. However, we were a bit thrown off because there was another wedding during the day we were uninformed about as well as a Halloween event on the grounds we were also uninformed about (during our reception). We were also stranded in the parking lot in the middle of the night after our wedding because their gate was not operating correctly.
These two things aside, it was otherwise a good choice in venue and we were happy with the outcome of our day.

I had a great time setting up a wedding today at Kortight! Such a beautiful place! Jeffrey provided us with outstanding customer service! We thank you!
Kortright was wonderful on a Saturday morning for hikes. The shop staffer was super helpful, describing different trails, taking a group photo for us, and helping with any and all questions!
The camp itself was great - my son had a lot of fun. However, we had left a raincoat among other rain gear with the camp per their suggestion for the 2 weeks he was there. He never wore the raincoat, yet it didn’t come home. He also lost his water bottle he would have used every single day there. I contacted them and they said they were unable to locate either. It’s frustrating since everything was clearly labelled and this hasn’t happened at any other camps he’s attended. Edit- I have updated my post and stars review as the raincoat was luckily located a few weeks after my son attended the camp. Then separately I got another call that his water bottle was located. I appreciated that the staff called to let me know and I was able to pick it up.
Wonderful experience. Attended a friend's wedding and I have to say, the venue has an amazing outdoor wooden feel to it. The service team is amazing, helpful, and thoughtful, truly great team. doing their best to host the wedding party & guests. Food was superb and plenty.
Great event space in a beautiful environment! Very helpful staff and very accommodating. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking for something a little different from the usual hall type venue.
I’ve been here a few times over the years and it is a great conservation area for easy hikes with the family. They have various activities throughout the year. The maple syrup festival is one of my favourite. It’s very educational and the kids love tasting the maple syrup. It’s a big shame that the old cabin with the cauldrons where they demonstrate the how they burn off the water to get the maple syrup had burnt down.
What a beautiful place to be for walk and trails. Had great experience. Definitely highly recommended for all groups. Great trail and event services available.
