Maple Syrup Museum of Ontario at Elliott Tree Farm — Attraction in Erin

We booked the 90-minute tour. It wasn’t a terrible experience but it felt overpriced and underdelivered for what was promised. If you happen to be in the area and want something quick and casual, maybe it’s worth a look. But for us, it didn’t quite live up to expectations. Our tour guide was the highlight – funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. The waffles and syrup tasting was enjoyable, and the maple toffee sample was a nice touch. Lovely waiting area with lawn chairs and a real fire – very cozy! The barn itself is beautiful & spacious with lots of seating. There was no actual demonstration of how maple syrup is produced.

The walk is peaceful and scenic, making it a great addition to the overall experience. Whether you’re a history buff or just a fan of maple syrup, this place is well...

This was actually a really nice experience. We booked our tour a day ahead and had no clue what to expect.

Went there, enough parking space for everybody. Our tour guide (Brandon I believe) did a great job to explain everything on the tour and we could as a lot of questions.

Had a nice tasting with waffle and icecream after that and purchased a lot of maple syrup because it was actually really...
