Beautiful historic location and very nice people.

Beautiful historic location and very nice people.
I liked the arrangement and presentation. Very nice maintained.
It was entertaining and educational and we all loved it!
Gift shops were great too and people give you good vibes.

I am not sure I will go there every single time I visit Kingston, but I recommend it to first timers.

What a view what a feel. Must visit for everyone. If u visit kingston add this to your list. There is an entry fee which is justified by the forts maintenance. There's an restaurant inside they are super busy. Food is great. View is great form the restuarant too.

A beautiful location which has great history behind it. Loved the scenic view. If you are visiting Kingston then I highly recommend visiting it. Also they have lot of places to eat in the courtyard. Definitely worth visiting it.

Really enjoyed it. It's a self guided tour but there are staff there dressed in original uniforms that soldiers and wives of soldiers would wear. They allow you to take photos and give information on what there is to see.

Some great views from the second floor. You can also see in the actual rooms around the compound and with covid, it's a group by group policy. Not all people were following but just be prepared with your mask.

Great views!!

Entry to the fort was closed because of covid (and rightly so) but we were able to make a nice trip thanks to the big park and St Lawrence River. The fort has an antique rustic look and you can feel you're amidst history, looking at the tanks poking out.
There are plates engraved with historical facts and a nice little assembly area at the entrance.
Would definitely love to visit once it's open again for visitors. If not, go with your family or partner or pets and make a picnic-day out of it

It was a great visit. It was not busy. There were people through out the Park to answer questions and with information to share. Enjoyed the Beavertails at the end. I really enjoyed the visit to Fort Henry.

Haven't been here in about 20yrs and decided I want the kids to see this historic location. The last time I was here with my parents, we ended up meeting one of my mom's students from high school. He showed us around the fort and gave us a somewhat private tour. We had an amazing time and learned so much, he really took pride in his duties and it showed. This trip unfortunately wasn't as good because we arrived with only 30 minutes left and from memory it takes a few hours to go around. We will come and try again before heading back to the west coast..
