\"20150102c-2684\"<\/a>Upper Canada Village\u00a0is a heritage park in the village of Riverside near Morrisburg, Ontario, which depicts a 19th-century village in Upper Canada. \u00a0We first visited it earlier in the summer of 2014 and had a great time.<\/a><\/p>\n

They reopen for a few weeks in the winter with a spectacular light display, horse drawn wagon rides, a ferris wheel and a miniature train. \u00a0Our timing could not have been better.<\/p>\n

Wednesday December 31st was a bare ground\/no snow day. \u00a0 Thursday January 01\u00a0was a very bad storm with multivehicle collisions on the 401 highway \u00a0that closed it down for most of the day. \u00a0Friday however was a sun\/cloud day with the highways cleared and a good 4-5 cm of snow on the ground. \u00a0We arrived just past sunset and spent a glorius 3 hours walking around in -8C enjoying the marvellous light show, rides, hot drinks in the tavern and much much more.<\/p>\n

Yes, we had to look down as well as up as there were live hay burning horses roaming the streets, leaving hot steaming deposits on the roads! \u00a0All in all it was a worthwhile 2 hours drive and we look forward to going back again next year!<\/p>\n
