If you want a great day of family fun at a theme park, you don’t need to go far! Just check out Windsor Playland Safari Park!
Overview
For an overview of the park and everything it has to offer, check out my video.
Mini Golf
Windsor Playland has a full 18-round of mini golf.
They also have mini golf, pool! I have never seen this before! But, get four people together and come try it out!
Go Karts
This might have been the highlight of the day!
Grab a helmet (with a hair net) and get buckled in! There are staff around to teach any newbies what to do.
There is a full track, and it’s tons of fun to whip around the course!
Word of advice: Talk to your kids about shoulder checks and lane changes!
What a fun way to feel the speed!
There are also Fast Go-Karts available for those 16+. I can’t imagine going faster than we did, but if you are well practiced, this is another option!
Regulations
There are no height restrictions. They have cushions to help children reach the pedals. It is mostly about the comfort of the child.
Closed toed shoes are always safest, but not a requirement.
Waterslides
“I LOVE IT!”
When we were there, a 3-year-old boy went down the waterslide with his grandmother for the first time. He shrieked with delight when they got to the bottom and couldn’t wait to go again!
I know how he feels. We love the waterslides here, and have come almost every year for our son’s summertime birthday.
I like the waterslide because my head doesn’t go underwater at the end, and it’s fast and fun!
Regulations
There is no height restriction on the slide. This makes it even more of a family-friendly place to visit.
For children who are too small, a parent can go down with them.
Life jackets are available to borrow on a first-come first-served basis.
They also have Little Swimmer diapers and extra towels on hand if you need one of those, too!
There are life guards on duty, so I can also sit by the pool and read my book, or have a nap, and I know my kids are safe!
Canteen
There is a full canteen onsite. There is everything to make a kid happy from burgers to chicken fingers, hot dogs and fries. There are lots of drinks, candy and cotton candy!
It’s wonderful that you don’t even have to leave the premises for a full day of family fun!
There are tons of picnic tables with shade for you to sit outside to eat.
Coming Soon: RC Race Track
Windsor Playland is just putting the finishing touches on the remote control car raceway! It will be open in the 2018 season.
You will be able to rent an RC car or pay a nominal fee to bring your own!
Prices and Hours
Hours and prices are subject to change.
Open Daily Go Carts and Mini Putt 10 am to 8 pm
Water slide & Pool: Noon – 6pm
Canteen: 11 am – 8 pm
We highly recommend the all-day bracelet for $25 (STC) that comes with a round of mini golf, 5 laps on the Go Karts, and all you can use waterslides and pool! It’s a great deal!
And, if you come on a Tuesday and buy 4 bracelets, you will get a 15% discount! (STC)
Join us in celebrating our 1st Anniversary! There will be half price waterslide as well as lots of fun for free. We will have an amazing magician show, face painting, free cake, and lots of amazing door prizes.
Windsor Playland is located right off Highway 101 at Exit 5a.
Overall
Windsor Playland Safari Park is now under new management. They have spent a lot of time, effort and money upgrading the park! It’s freshly painted and upgraded and looks wonderful!
It’s time to come to give Windsor Playland a chance to show that you can have an awesome day of family fun right here in the Valley!

PEI Preserve Company is a Handcrafted Food & Tea & English Fine Bone China Shop in the heart of one of Canada’s prettiest villages.
The Preserves
When you go into the shop, there is a whole table full of samples you can try! You can experience some of their unique creations like strawberry grand marnier, and raspberry jam made with champagne! You might just fall in love with a new flavour once you try it!
You can also watch them making the preserves through the open window. Nothing was on tap the day we were there, but you can just imagine!
The Cafe
On site is a beautiful cafe that is open from July to October (subject to change). There are beautiful views of the river and surrounding gardens.
Although I went with my mom, I would definitely go with the kids, too, and there is a kids’ menu with lots of things to choose from.
The food was outsandingly delicious!
Check out their famous potato salad, or enjoy nachos and their in-house salsa (which you can buy in the shop, too!)
Gardens of Hope
Next to the Preserve Company is the Gardens of hope, built on 12 acres along the hills and shorelines of the River Clyde. The sanctuary contains a variety of pathways, outlooks and structures designed to capture nature’s beauty!
The gardens are so whimsical, you never know what you are going to find!
With all the pathways to explore, and so many hidden treasures, it makes the perfect place for kids to run around and explore.
There are also plenty of benches and shady gazebos to sit and enjoy the views.
Entrance to the garden is by freewill donation.
At the top of the hill, there is a butterfly house. There is an admission fee to this part only. Subject to change.
Our favourite part of the gardens is the Magical Forest, where you will find windows to your imagination and have fun exploring the magical path!
Oh, and there are sheep!
So, the next time you are in New Glasgow PEI, you need to stop in to check out the PEI Preserve Company and the accompanying Gardens of Hope! Sample some jam, check out the cafe, and walk through the gardens. It makes the perfect outing!
Head across the street to the famous New Glasgow lobster suppers!
In the same area, you will find the best toy store – The Toy Factory. At the back, children can help make their own wooden toys and have their name engraved on it, while in the front is every toy imaginable!
New Glasgow, PEI makes for great family fun!
