Hours are very limited to mostly summer and Christmas so make sure it is open. Grounds are always open and are a nice place to stroll or have a picnic. Lots of picnic tables and garbage cans available. Grounds are small. It would only take 15 minutes to thoroughly explore. House is intestine and well kept up if you do get to go in. There are guided tours and lots of special activities when it is open, such as baking and making period crafts.

Small, but nicely done with pleasant staff. Good for kids as it's small and has open outdoor spaces. Only open 3 months a years, so has a stuffy smell when it is within first couple weeks of opening.

Wonderful place to visit! You can freely roam around to explore every room and take your time admiring the furniture and everything else. The house is well managed and I could even live there )). Staff was very polite and offered us freshly baked shortbread which was delicious.

The childhood home of Canada's 10th Prime Minister, William Lyon McKenzie King, located on Wellington St in Kitchener, Ontario. Very nice location, and well cared for.

Is zero star an option?Why does the sign say they are open 10-4 but they lock the doors and don't let anyone inside the house?The staff just stared at me behind the locked door.I found it unsettling. Seemed like class discrimination.The trail and trees are beautiful though.

A hidden gem in Kitchener. The historical house is only open October-December but the grounds are open year round. There's a covered patio area with lots of tables and seating as well as a large nicely groomed lawn/ perfect for gatherings with friends and family. Surrounding the area is a beautiful old-growth area with well maintained foot paths and an old train track. We saw lots of blue Jays!

Nice grounds at this historic site. There is a little man made pond, a bunch of benches, some picnic tables under a covered area, some green space, parking, and the building itself that is currently closed. There is a small trail through the forest. There are park hours but not sure about the enforcement.

An ex-house of the late ex-prime minister of Canada, Mr. Mackenzie King. I like everything about the house. The park surrounding the house, the trail, the exterior and the interior of the house that are classy Victorian minimalist. Gabriel and Holy were hospitable and knowledgeable, guiding me throughout the house. The film played in the basement was both entertaining and educating. The free shortbread was also scrumptious. This museum needs more attention and I suggest people to buy the ticket before coming as the wait outside can be long depending on individual’s luck.
