    I'm so glad we didn't let the drive deter us as this was an amazing walk through history- being from Vancouver area this is not history we had much awareness about. People in each house spoke English and French and explained the history and showed how things were built and made. Amazing!

    A great Acadian history lesson. From the moment you buy your ticket, there is a short interpretive movie explaining some of the history and then your off walking through an actual working village where every building/home has someone in period costume portraying life as it would've been. Very knowledgeable on the history of the building as well as the people who would've lived in them as well as answer any questions you may have. They have been building/adding on over the years, with a whole new section added since my last visit 40 yrs ago. There are a few spots to stop for a drink or snacks along the way and of course a souvenir store. A very enjoyable experience that is well worth a visit.

    This attraction has been around for many years and is both well-run and extensive. The cost is fairly high ($84 for two adults, two seniors and a child) but when you get inside, you understand why that is the case. There are many hands-on demonstrations and historical explanations with the cosplayers who are in every building, of which there are many and the village is broken into three zones based on periods in history. Having Acadian ancestry myself, I was interested to learn of my own family's legacy. There is a restaurant on site as well as an educational film. Because of the history being presented, there can at times be some translation issues between French and English but those are easily overcome. The one drawback would be for people with mobility issues as there are some long walks and the houses can be difficult to navigate. Luckily, there is a shuttle between the post office in the final area (1950s) to the main building at the end of your visit. Overall, it is a positive experience and worth seeing. Plan to spend almost a full day.

    I really enjoyed our visit in early August. There were a few buildings that were closed, but that did not detract from the experience. The Historical Village still has COVID protocols in place, so many buildings visitors must stand in the doorway or windows to see in the buildings and speak with the interpreters. While it would have been nice to enter the buildings, we understand the restrictions, and as a first time visitor, I didn’t find it a negative influence. It would have been nice to see the mill working, but given COVID challenges I understand why it wasn’t. The interpreters in the buildings were knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. They not only knew the history of the building they were in, as well as Acadian history, but also knew about other buildings in the village. While I am fluent in French, there were some things I asked for clarification of in English. All the interpreters that I asked this of were happy to oblige, and many asked if we would like the interpretation in French or English when they greeted us. We stopped to eat a snack about half way through, hot dogs and pop. The ordering could have been a bit more organized. I would suggest anyone going wear shoes that are comfortable to walk and stand in for longer periods of time. There were plenty of hand sanitizer stations, especially by food service and washrooms.

    We opted to stay right onsite at the Royal Albert Hotel for 2 nights. We were greeted by a staff member (Joanne) in period costume who was incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was most comfortable, and being right on the site allowed us to start our day on our schedule (no morning drive, etc). The village itself is well-maintained, and the staff at each location are well-informed about the history of each house or business, and of Acadian history in general. Despite other reviews, we had absolutely no difficulty conversing with anyone in the village in English (we speak a little bit of French very badly). Because of the pandemic, there were no crowds, even on the weekend, and unfortunately that prevented the staff from cooking bread in the outdoor ovens, inviting visitors into the buildings, and sampling food and biscuits, but that just gives us a good reason to return post-pandemic.
