Things to do with Family & kids in Hamilton
"Take yourself on a quick road trip to the one-of-a-kind Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology. Located in a 150-year-old pumphouse and only a nine-minute drive from Sandman Hotel Hamilton, you can check out some of Canada’s oldest steam-powered pumping engines at this National Historic Site."
"Housed in what was originally an 1854 sandstone convent and extensively transformed in 2012, this attractive LEED-certified museum offers exhibitions, programs and events digging up the history of the city (named after the British royal family's ancestors, the Guelphs). The 'Growing Up in Guelph' kids' exhibition makes a happy distraction.Hours are extended and admission is free 5pm to 9pm on the fourth Friday of each month."
"It is worth visiting just for the fact that there are not many historical buildings in and around Toronto. Montgomery's Inn once served as a shelter, community hub and restaurant right up until 1850 when one of the original owners, Margaret Montgomery died. Now it is a great place to go with the kids to get a glimpse at a yesteryear when life was not entirely dependent on technology."
"Taking your kids to the historic home of one of Toronto's first architects may seem laughable. Have we met your children?. Gazing at watercolours is hardly a hobby of theirs."
"Upscale vibes without the usual stuffiness, and a diverse seasonal menu built to satisfy pretty much any palate, The Diplomat is a prime spot to impress a date. Salads, share plates, and grilled cuts of top-quality meats feature inventive culinary twists while remaining fully approachable dishes. Uniquely, The Diplomat is also the only Hamilton restaurant to currently offer select times of device-free dining, which is the perfect opportunity to keep those pesky phones out of sight and out of mind."
"Aside from being a brewery, Merit Brewing is also a bottle shop and a kitchen that offers good food. They work hard to represent the art and character of Hamilton in each food, each beer as well as every experience they share with people. Their culinary and brewing techniques are inspired by the tradition that pushes aromas and flavors to speak on why they brew."
"When it comes to the perfect location in Hamilton for a craft brewery, MERIT nailed it. Another newcomer within the past year, this brewery is located right at James and Wilson across from the August 8 plaza. This one’s for the real craft beer nerds as they are constantly experimenting with their brews and do little to appeal to the casual beer fan."
"Italian cooking Whether at lunch or dinner Mastro's offers an authentic Italian atmosphere. Mastro's also offers th... Fine Dining Restaurants, Italian Restaurants"
"If exploring trails isn’t your forte, consider Waterdown Memorial Park. Complete with baseball diamonds, a playground for the little ones, a skate park, and a splash pad during the summer Waterdown Memorial Park is the perfect get away from your Hamilton condo. Be sure to visit in the winter and try out the awesome sledding hill: perfect for getting some serious speed on the powder!"
"200 Hamilton Street, Waterdown Waterdown Memorial Park is a popular sports park featuring a lit soccer/football field, four softball fields, play equipment, a wading pool, a park shelter, parking, and washrooms."
"I originally stumbled upon Sweet Olenka’s as I was walking down Queen Street West one summer afternoon. Although Sweet Olenka’s isn’t 100% vegan, they had a great selection of vegan ice cream. Nowadays, they no longer have their Queen West location, but you can visit them in Etobicoke."
