Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum

This is not a very big place to roam around and see. Gills family used to live here in 18 or 19 th century. They are having few animals like cows, hens and pigs. They are having botanical garden where you can find varieties of plants. One cafeteria at the middle you can buy the products from the cafeteria shop and eat.

Cute tea room and hobby farm near the city. The scones, tea, and soup in the tearoom are good, but there is little selection overall.

Amazing place. What they have managed to maintain through the years is unreal. The staff are always very helpful and friendly. I've heard the food and drink are great, according to friends, but haven't had a chance to try myself, though the tea shop is lovely.

Delicious lunch
Very friendly staff
Nice to see what they used as machinery and how hard of a life they had in years gone by compared to today

This is an absolute gem of a family experience hidden in the middle of sprawling suburbia! The displays and historic buildings are lovely and the sheep and chickens were great fun. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and happy to talk about the site. We'll be back again!

Staff was so lovely and the food was soooo amazing! Homemade food cant be beat. Animals were great as well, and well cared for!

I volunteered here years ago and I love comming back with my family and I'll be there this week I know the kids cant wait to see the pigs

What a sweet place to visit! Perfect for families with wee ones or for anyone wanting a leisurely afternoon.

In my opinion the menu for the cream tea is too expensive. Are the scones made with real butter? One scone with jam and cream served with tea should be no more than $5.00, not $8.00's. The high price is keeping me away.

Entry by donation, an easy outing for a family group of all sizes and ages. Poultry, sheep and a few calves were around, lots of placards with local history on display. The garden is pretty and grows food.

They was amazing. We had a group visit. The walk to lake is nice. Flowers everywhere. Learn something new today. Read the info in pic.

The food is good, people friendly, I had fishcakes and beans for desert gingerbread with lemon sauce and cream

Free admission Cafe serves soup home made sandwiches dessert from 11 to 2 and tea and dessert from 2 to 4 Farm opens at 8 am closed at 4 pm Calfs pigs sheep lambs chickens roosters the farm is historical lots of museum artifacts Games and a picinic area nice to spend a afternoon with the kids

Small, charming and locally run, mostly by volunteers. Real animals and a forge that operates occasionally (by volunteer blacksmiths) create a good atmosphere that's enjoyable to spend time in. There is a teahouse that i believe sells drinks and snacks but I've not actually tried it myself as we've always been here for other events like small fiber arts festivals.

Great tour for my grade 1 class! The children loved learning about the past and all of the animals. The guides were excellent. The Tea house is lovely with a homey feeling.

So me and my meemaw were taking a trip down the road where we went an saw the good ol' museum, decided to check er out and we ended up seeing my papa there with a big ol pitch fork from back home right through his body, he had no reaction he was just sitting there laying on a 2x4 with a pitchfork through his chest.gotta love the memories yeehaw

Service & food was excellent! Visiting from BC. Enjoyed a nice Maritime meal of fishcakes & baked beans.

This place is a little Cole Harbour treasure. Beautiful gardens, barn animals, local heritage home and museum along with the most gentile tea room serving Nova Scotia Select status gastronomy. Also has a Wednesday afternoon pop up market.

Fun place to take the grandkids on a weekday morning. Lots of interpretive displays. Not too crowded when we went. Animals are fun to see for kids of all ages from one to a hundred or so. The potty toss game was a huge hit.

Cool little spot hidden in the middle of a city. An inexpensive place to taje ghe family for a few hours without having to go too far. Great to walk through as a couple or with small kids. Older kids (10 and up) will likely be unimpressed. We took a 3 and a 5 year old and they loved seeing the animals and walking through the gardens. As adults we really liked going through the historic buildings. Since this place is a low key hidden spot, you can really take your time. There is a little restaurant and some local jams, etc for sale too. Bathroom on site near the restaurant.
