We were the only ones here initially so it was great having the place to ourselves. We were mainly there for family pictures at our grandfather's boat shop but it was entertaining to be followed by the sheep wherever we went.
Helpful knowledgeable staff, lots to see, amazing food, even if don't eat meat. They have a couple cheep, chickens and the sweetest kittens I've ever had the pleasure to meet. Just please do as the staff say and close doors behind you so the animals don't enter rooms they're not supposed to and make a mess it was a shame to see a LOT of people not caring enough to do this.
Enjoyed our afternoon at Memory Lane. We specifically went on Father's Day to see the car show that was there (it's an annual event). Be sure to check out the General Store for snacks, souvenirs and hand-stitched slippers that are locally made (and very comfortable!).
A definite trip back in time!
We have gone multiple times and it is fun for all ages! It's so fun to explore all of the buildings and it's nice that you can guide yourself and go at your own pace. Keep watch of their Facebook page for special events. The events are always great and sometimes free entry. The food at the cookhouse is good too!
We were impressed by the thorough understanding of 1940 Maritime life. We had an awesome snack and chat with the ladies cooking in the homestead and a drive around the town in an antique car. There is a cookhouse for lunch and gift shop for souvenirs. Everything is hands on so kids are not afraid to go into rooms and see how things work.
