    Five stars. Staffs are very polite, patient, and welcoming. They spent a lot of time telling you everything about this village and answering all questions you have. You won't waste your time there!

    This is a great place for a relaxing time. Wander through and talk to the "pioneers". It is an outdoor museum. Well run on a small budget. Great food in the cafe. Well kept facilities. Interesting exhibits

    I love this place because of the history and information they provide about how a small town worked.

    We have always loved the Pioneer Village and have taken all of our children, including our dog, here for various events. I've never had a bad experience. My husband and I are much looking forward to the upcoming Haunted Village tour.

Where to stay in London

©
To make the most of sightseeing in London, it's best to stay in the center, as close as possible to the confluence of the city's two rivers. You'll be just a stone's throw from the city's best parks, as well as good entertainment. If you're just passing through and looking for budget accommodations while in transit, look east along Dundas Street--as you approach the airport, you'll find a host of affordable roadside motels. For a more suburban feel--and proximity to the city's biggest mall--head south to White Oaks, where you'll find a cluster of accommodations.
