History right in front of u. This fort was build in the 1600,s to fight back the American invasion. (Can't blame them)! It's like walking back in time. Check out the underground sniper barracks. It's cool in the summer heat. Think back to how many men walked down in to that chamber. The stones are still the same. You can feel and sense the action, the shooting, the death of the men who protected the country from the other side.

I took my kids to Fort Wellington with a group of home schoolers for a planned tour. We had 30 families and they put us into four groups and had all four groups do the educational tour at different spots at the same time. It is not a big fort but everything ran very smoothly. The activities were interesting and well-planned. There was a wide age range of kids from toddler to about 16 years old but they managed to make it work for all those ages. The staff were all very friendly and helpful; our guide (Emily) was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and was great with the kids. Very clean site, well-maintained (they were doing maintenance while we were there and it had very little impact on our enjoyment of the site). Our tour was 2 hours long and then we were free to go back and check out the fort on our own which we spent another half hour doing. There are kid-sized uniforms to wear in the barracks and plenty of interesting details in the rooms on the main floor of the blockhouse. As it is a small fort, I wouldn't plan to spend a long time there, especially if you are with small kids. You could do it all in under an hour. There is a bit more inside but we didn't get to it. There is also a small gift shop. The hill and lawn outside were great for a picnic.

Lots of history and artifacts from the war of 1812. Great place to visit and a great town with friendly people. The fort has been kept in pretty good shape.

Great for kids. Free for under 17 in 2018. Picnic tables around the site, so nice for picnic in good weather. Lots of space for kids to run and stretch if ona long car ride.

Celebrated Canada Day with a free tour and demonstrations. Dug up artifacts are very interesting and being able to walk amongst the barracks was great.
