I went to Thomson Memorial Park for BBQ, found this museum in the heart of the park unexpectedly . You can find four heritage buildings that make up Scarborough Museum. The Cornell House is the main building, good too see the Canadian life in the 1800 . The McCowan Log House was moved to here. The Hough Carriage Works Hut is worth to visit, you can see many different kinds of tools.

The museum consists of a few houses but the nicest thing is the park/trails attached to it. Kids playground (hard sand, mind you), nice trails and lots of big trees for shade. Water park area and leash free dog area too. Staff are indeed super friendly and helpful. No cafe so bring your own food/picnic lunches. Decent washroom facilities but not the cleanest.

Historical house & cabin nestled in a lovely park with many meandering paved paths & forest area to walk & explore. The park also has a well equipped playgound, summer splash pad, sports field, tennis courts & public washrooms. Plenty of parking and ttc stops right out front.

Amazing amazing place! It’s open everyday for public visits. Go with some cash! It’s pay what you can.It’s very rustic and historic, with many things to learn. Our tour guide Jeff is an amazingly knowledgeable guide. He seems very passionate about what he does and it was very entertaining to learn about the different buildings and their functions.Take your kids as well, very insightful for them. They serve complimentary iced tea, cheese cake, baked goods, etc. On a first come first serve basis.They have many events on a daily basis, so take advantage and show your family another side of what the urban life has to offer. Would highly recommend!

A very interesting place. Come with your friends and family and bake in their fire place! You can also use their Historic Stove from the early 1900's. Hidden gem in this part of the city plenty of green spaces as well.

A lovely small museum consists of few houses that showcase the life in 1800s. The staff that working there are very welcoming and provide us a knowledgeable guide tour. Outside the museum has playground and walking trail, great to spend an relaxing afternoon.

Really cool museum! Happy to see there is no fee for general admission. Open Wednesdays to Sundays now from 11- 4 I think. 2 buildings open for viewing when I went. No wait when I went on Sunday just around noon. Had a partial guided tour and got to wander around for the rest of it. Would be great if they could get the stove going again or the ice cream maker. Understand covid has changed things but it would certainly enhance the experience. If you get a chance you should go!

Only one house was open when my family visited on May 21. It is unfortunate because it took over 30 minutes to find a parking spot. While admission and parking is free, it really wasn’t too worthwhile to drive and find parking here. I saw other pictures before going and was hoping to see more but the other houses were locked up. The only saving feature was the playground beside the museum. This is where we spent most of our time.

A great place to learn about settlers and Canadian history. Very informative tours and very welcoming. They offered us baked apples and delicious apple cobbler. Also delicious warm apple cider. Really lovely park as well a lovely place to go with the family and parking available. Fantastic museum.

Looking at old photos, I just found out that I went here like 10 years ago during university, I need to write an essay, and I chose Scarborough Museum. Went here with TTC, a great location. I kind of remember there was a lady explaining detail to us. At last, I donated $20 XD which was all the money I had at that time.
