Looking for a town to settle down in can be challenging — you’ll want somewhere with great schools, good access to nature, convenient shopping, and enough activities to keep your family entertained all year long. Havelock Corners is our new collection of semi-detached homes in Woodstock, a fantastic, amenity-rich town with a unique mix of attractions for the whole family.

If you’re looking for ways to spend a weekend or an evening out, here are a few of our favourite options.

1. Woodstock Museum National Historic Site | Free + Optional Donation

   The Woodstock Museum is set in the old Woodstock Town Hall, which has been preserved in its original condition from when it was first opened in 1853. The museum features a historic grand hall with wallpapered ceilings, massive arched windows, and elaborate grand chandeliers, with 400 artifacts and 125 images across several exhibits.

   For children, the museum hosts regular camps where they’ll learn about Woodstock’s history, discover real pioneer tools, and conduct science experiments.

2. Woodstock Art Gallery | Free + Optional Donation

   At the Woodstock Art Gallery, you’ll find historical and contemporary artworks drawn from a collection of over 1,900 pieces including the work of Florence Carlyle, a famous Canadian artist originally from Woodstock. The gallery also hosts new exhibits every four months and has a community gallery which showcases the work of emerging and established local artists.

3. Southside Park | Free

   Southside Park is 65 acres of sprawling green space with paths winding along a river and pond. The park has three baseball diamonds, a soccer field, and a cricket pitch. It also features a toboggan hill, playgrounds, and the nearby waterpark, with its own waterslide, wading pool, and large tipping bucket.

4. One-Of-A-Kind Antique Mall | Prices Vary

   Woodstock is home to Canada’s largest antique mall. This family-run operation is set in an old textile mill, with 600 unique vendors spread out across three floors. From vintage clothing, to jewelry, handmade furniture, and so much more, you’ll find a vast selection of eclectic treasures you won’t find anywhere else. Children can explore the mall, browse the booths, and find fun and unique items.

5. Upper Thames Brewing Company | Prices Vary

   While a brewery may not be the first place you’d think to bring your children, the Upper Thames Brewing Company in Woodstock has made strides to create a family friendly atmosphere. They brew four non-alcoholic craft sodas with flavours like cream soda, root beer, and vanilla cola. For adults, they serve 19 original beers and also offer appetizers and artisanal pizza (and they allow you to bring in your own food). They host weekly events like trivia nights, comedy shows, and live music. The Brickhouse Brewpub is their second location and offers a restaurant menu alongside 25 locally brewed taps.

6. Ingersoll Cheese & Agricultural Museum | Free + Optional Donation

   Just a short drive away, you can visit the Ingersoll Cheese & Agricultural Museum. This snapshot of the town’s agricultural history features a replica historic dairy farm alongside a blacksmith, bread oven, and schoolhouse. When you’re done with the exhibits, pick up some local cheese at the gift shop or let the kids play at the cheese-themed playground.
