I just came back from Peterborough and really enjoyed the Canoe Museum in Peterborough. I honestly have no real interest in canoes, but this museum surprise me in that it was really interesting. It costs 18 CDN for seniors or $20 everyone else. The building itself has nice architecture. There is a small art collection and then a big exhibit of canoes from all over the world and many different cultures. They are displayed nicely in a large exhibit hall on the second floor. Then you can look thru the glass at several hundred canoes stored in the warehouse. There is a small gift shop and a tasty if slightly expensive coffee shop on the first level. Lost of washrooms and an elevator if you need it on the second floor.
Another worthwhile thing to do is walk outside to the back of the building down to the lake (less than 5 minutes) to see people canoeing. You can rent canoes and the lake looked calm. There is also a playground and a small beach for swimming with a life guard.
This is a not to miss in Peterborough.
Hope this helps
Marcia
