The Holiday Inn Waterfront Hotel is conveniently located for your fall family fun adventures. Start this itinerary off by checking into an accommodation that offers you a swimming pool and lake views, as well as shopping, restaurants, cafes and parks all within walking distance.

Your first stop is The Peterborough Museum & Archives. Learn more about local history, beginning with Indigenous history through to the arrival of Europeans and the growth of the agriculture and lumber industries. Rotating featured exhibits expand the range of subjects, and a number of kid-friendly attractions mean there’s something for everyone. As a bonus for those travelling with family there’s a great playground just outside, and the historic Peterborough Lift Lock is just a short walk away.  

For lunch head to the Café district of Peterborough on Hunter Street for some gourmet and definitely kid-friendly pizza at the Night Kitchen. 

Travel back in time for the afternoon at Lang Pioneer Village. Learn about the fall harvest during the pioneer days from costumed interpreters, and explore the many preserved homes and businesses. There may even be some fall treats to taste. 

For dinner, check out Ashburnham Ale House for their variety of “Sammiches,” pizzas, burgers, delicious house-made mains and a lengthy drinks list.  

If there’s still room for dessert, Flossophy Confectioneries is just down the road.
