There are so many quaint little towns to explore in Ontario, that it can be difficult to decide where to start! Known as one of the prettiest towns in Ontario, Perth is an excellent option. Not only is the town filled with plenty of charm, but there are a ton of things to do in Perth Ontario with kids.

What To Know About Perth Ontario

Located in Lanark County and about an hour south of Ottawa, Perth is a small town with only about 6,000 people. But don’t let that small-town image fool you! Perth is pretty popular with tourists and a favourite stop for those looking to enjoy a scenic Ontario road trip.

Perth was settled back in 1816 by mostly new immigrants. Interestingly enough, Scottish stonemasons made up a large portion of the population.

As a result of all this architectural and engineering expertise, Perth is now home to more than 100 heritage buildings, the largest collection in the province. Coupled with over 70 boutique shops, cafes, specialty stores and restaurants, Perth is a wonderful place to explore.

Fun Fact: Perth was one of just two Ontario cities that was chosen as a heritage restoration project.

Another part of Perth’s charm is the Tay River which runs right through the downtown area. When you are researching the best things to do in Perth with kids, you will notice that many of the best attractions can be found along the Tay.

During our visit, Perth Chocolate Works was the first place I made a beeline for in Code’s Mill. This family-owned business is a must-visit if you are a chocolate-lover like myself!

Weighing in at a whopping 22,000 pounds, the enormous cheese wheel was made to promote Canadian cheese on a global scale. Today, you can take a selfie with the commemorative cheese wheel which is located next to the Tay Basin behind the Crystal Palace. Don’t forget to say “CHEESE”!!

Truly, one of the best things to do in Perth Ontario with kids is to head to Stewart Park for a picnic. Located in the heart of Perth, the park is extremely scenic and peaceful.

Explore the flower gardens, walk along the Tay River, or sit at one of the many benches and picnic tables scattered throughout the park. Stewart Park also hosts many fun and free events throughout the year that are family-friendly.

And while you are exploring the park, be sure to grab a photo or two at the Dry Stone Bridge. This historic-looking bridge looks a lot older than it actually is, as it was built using ancient dry stone masonry techniques.

In reality, it was only built in 2016 to commemorate the town’s 200th birthday.

Perth-Ontario-Red-Brick-Emporium-inside

Red Brick Emporium

We loved the Red Brick Emporium partially for its location in the Old Mill historic building, but mostly for its sustainable and eclectic offerings. Inside, you will find a huge range of products from socks and metal door handles, to DIY projects kits, fun throw pillows, Christmas decor, and housewares.

The kids loved looking for the perfect treasure and souvenir from their visit to Perth Ontario.

One of my kids’ favourite shops to visit in Perth, is The Book Nook & Other Treasures. Not only do they have an awesome selection of books, but they also carry games, craft kits, toys, dress-up items, as well as a variety of unique gifts.

We spent the most time in this shop and actually went back several times to pick up a variety of items for the kids.

Backbeat Books and Music

This quaint little shop is perfect for those looking to add to their vinyl collections! Not only can you find a pretty good selection of both old and new records, but they also carry books (both new and used), turntables and accessories.

Backbeat Books and Music is perfect for those who love to spend their time physically searching for the perfect record or book, rather than just ordering it online.

8. Have a Seat in the Big Red Chair

Like many other small towns in Ontario, Perth is also home to a giant red Muskoka chair. Have a seat, take some selfies, or just enjoy the view of the river from this quirky waterside attraction.

9. Paddleboard or Kayak on the Tay River

If you are visiting during the hot summer months, then renting a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard is one of the best things to do in Perth Ontario with kids. It’s a great way to stay cool while exploring the town.

Perth Major Outfitters is located just a 15-minute walk (3-minute drive) from the downtown heritage area. There, you can rent a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard to explore the Tay River.

Perth-Ontario-Stewart-Park-Tay-River

The river runs right through Perth, so you can take in all the awesome views of the town as you paddle!

Perth Major Outfitters also has other activities for you to enjoy as well. Rent a Pedal Kart or Kick Bike, or enjoy a few rounds of Nautical Themed Mini Golf. They even run a Paddle Day Camp for kids.

10. Learn About Perth’s History

The town of Perth began as a military settlement in 1816 after the War of 1812. At this time, the British government offered 100 acres of land to soldiers from Scotland, who then became the first settlers in the area.

Fun Fact: Perth and the Tay River are named after a city and river of the same name in Scotland.

There are several places in town where you can learn a little more about the history of Perth:

Perth-Ontario-military-sign

Perth Museum

The Perth Museum is located inside the Matheson House. Built-in 1840 for a senator in Canada’s first parliament, the rooms inside this stone dwelling have been restored to reflect what life would have been like for the family who lived there for over 90 years.

Our kids were particularly interested in some of the toys and sporting equipment on display from that era. The absolutely HUGE dollhouse, with all of its incredible detail, was something that captured the attention of our entire family!

And before you leave, be sure to visit the Perth Museum’s Courtyard. This beautiful little garden feels like a hidden oasis right in the middle of downtown.

You can find the Matheson House, which is a National Historic Site of Canada, at 11 Gore Street East. The Museum hours are currently 10 am to 5 pm, Wednesday – Sunday.

McMartin House

The McMartin House was built in the 1830s for Daniel McMartin, one of Perth County’s first lawyers. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1972, as it represents the wealth of the elite members of the government during that time.

Perth-Ontario-McMartin-House

Located at 125 Gore Street, the house is free to visit Monday – Friday from 1 to 4 pm. Stop by to see the incredible architecture while learning a little of Perth’s storied past.

Last Duel

Most people will be surprised to learn that Perth, Ontario is home to the last fatal duel in Canada! The duel occurred in 1833 when a law student named Robert Lyon was killed in a duel with John Wilson, who was his friend. They were fighting over Elizabeth Hughes, a woman whom they were both interested in.

Perth-Ontario-Stewart-Park-bridge

Today, the duel is commemorated at Last Duel Park. Consisting of 27 acres, the park is home to public docks and a boat launch, a picnic area and shelter, and access to public washrooms in the Gatehouse.

Last Duel Park is located just off Hwy. #43 on the Tay River, and only 2 minutes from Perth’s downtown heritage area.

Ian Miller and Big Ben Statue

And as a bonus, if you want to learn more about the town’s history, head to the entrance of Stewart Park near Mill St. There, you will find a statue of hometown hero Ian Miller and his famous horse, Big Ben.

Perth-Ontario-Big-Ben-statue

Ian Miller is a local legend, three-time Olympian, and one of the world’s biggest equestrian champions.

11. Rent a Bicycle

One of the best things to do in Perth Ontario with kids is to rent bicycles. What better way to see the town while keeping the kids entertained (and using up some of their endless energy)!

1000-Islands-Bike-ride

At Heritage Bikes in Perth, you can rent a variety of different bikes, depending on your needs. Their team will help get you fitted and even give suggestions on routes and points of interest.

Bikes can be rented by the hour, half-day, daily, and weekly. Heritage Bikes will even deliver the bike right to your accommodations for a small fee!

12. Shop at the Perth Farmer’s Market

Located at the Crystal Palace on the Tay River, visiting the Perth Farmer’s Market is a must during the summer months. Not only will you find an awesome selection of organic produce, incredible baked goods, homemade jams and sauces, local cheese, maple syrup, honey, handmade crafts, and small-batch kombucha, but you will also be entertained by live music.

Perth-Ontario-Farmers-Market-sign

The Farmer’s Market in Perth is open, rain or shine, every Saturday morning from 8:00 AM until 1:00 PM. The market opens in early May and runs until Thanksgiving weekend in October. You will also find free parking in the large adjacent lot every Saturday.

And don’t forget to enter the weekly draw! Every Saturday, one lucky patron will win the contents of the market basket. This basket is filled to the brim with samples contributed by the vendors that day.

13. Try Some Gelato at North Folk Café

If you are visiting during the summer, one of the best things to do in Perth with kids is to cool off with some incredible gelato. And although there are several places to do this, we would most definitely recommend the North Folk Café.

This cozy little café is located on the corner of Gore & Foster Street in the historic downtown area of Perth, Ontario. Not only was their gelato absolutely delicious, but they even had a few vegan/dairy-free options to choose from.

Grab a seat inside, or during the summer, enjoy the nice weather outside on their patio. You can also take advantage of their new take-out window if the café gets busy.

North Folk Café is a family-owned business that not only serves amazing handcrafted gelato, but also Artizen Kombucha, locally roasted espresso, and a variety of desserts (also with organic, gluten-free, and plant-based options).

And don’t forget to browse the North Folk gift shop! You will find a pretty great selection of fine foods, jams, a wide selection of local honey, organic single-origin bean-to-bar chocolate, handcrafted candy, and a ton of unique gift items.

14. Climb the Lookout Tower at Perth Wildlife Reserve Conservation Area

Located on the Tay Marsh and just a few minutes outside of town, the Perth Wildlife Reserve is a great place to visit with kids. The 257-hectare conservation area is geared towards wildlife management, and as such, is the perfect place to spot deer, ducks, Canada geese, rabbits, bluebirds and wild turkeys.

Mississauga-marsh

One of the best things to do at the conservation area is to take a short walk to the Lookout Tower. The out and back loop to the Lookout Tower will only take 30 minutes round trip, and the awesome views of the Tay March are totally worth it.

Keep in mind, that there are no dogs allowed in the conservation area, and you will need to pay a small fee for parking.

15. Enjoy Popcorn and a Movie at the Drive-In Theatre

Like many other small towns in Ontario, most of the shops will close by about 5 pm. For families travelling with children, this often leaves them wondering if there are things to do in Perth Ontario in the evening.

During our visit, we took the kids to the nearby Port Elmsley Drive-In. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Perth, the drive-in has been offering outdoor movie experiences since 1953.

Perth-Ontario-Popcorn

Watch a movie (or two) under the stars while enjoying some popcorn from the snack bar. It is the perfect family-friendly thing to do during the summer.

Showtime is usually about 9:15 pm, but we recommend getting there early, as the spots fill up fast. A full snack bar serving everything from hotdogs and nachos to popcorn, candy and cold drinks is open for the duration of both movies. And of course, you will also find bathrooms available throughout the night.

16. Go for a Hike at Murphy’s Point Provincial Park

Located on Big Rideau Lake, just a 23-minute drive from downtown Perth, Murphy’s Point Provincial Park is a great place to spend the day with family. Depending on the time of year that you visit, there are a ton of activities available to try.

During the summer, there are a variety of beautiful hiking trails, suitable for different levels and abilities. You can also camp in the park. With car and RV camping, group camping, and backcountry camping available, the choice is yours!

Hiking-in-Summer-Cup-and-Saucer-Trail-Hike

Be sure to tour the Silver Queen Mine when you visit to learn more about the area’s mining history. Visiting this early 1900s mica mine is definitely one of the unique things to do in Perth Ontario with kids.

During the winter, the hiking trails are groomed for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

17. Take Part in a Festival or Special Event

Throughout the year Perth is home to many wonderful events and festivals. Depending on what you like, you are sure to find a festival that will capture your interest.

Some of the more popular events include the Festival of the Maples in April which usually features a huge craft fair, a midway, pony rides, and of course, a ton of maple products. In July, be sure to check out the Stewart Park Festival which offers a fantastic weekend of music, great food and amazing vendors, right in the heart of downtown Perth Ontario.

Perth-Ontario-Midway

You can check their event calendar here and line up your visit with one.

In the spring and fall, head to Perth for their Perth Night Market. Wander the streets where you will find a variety of entertainers and artisans, or dine under the stars at many of the amazing restaurants and pubs.

With many shops open late, it is the perfect opportunity to admire the many beautiful heritage buildings as you stroll through the streets.

And of course, you really should consider heading to Perth during the holiday season. From late November until early January, the Festival of Lights showcases over 40 Christmas trees in Crystal Palace.

You will also find the Community Christmas Tree lit up outside the Crystal Palace. Everyone is encouraged to hang an ornament to thank someone who has made a difference in the community.

Tips for Visiting Perth Ontario

Best Time to Visit Perth Ontario

The best time to visit Perth is during the warmer summer months. This is when you will find the most festivals going on, and be able to take advantage of all the outdoor spaces and activities on offer.

Summer is when many of the restaurants have outdoor dining available, and all the shops will be open. It is also the most difficult time to find choice hotel rooms, and even parking on the weekends.

Perth-Ontario-Mex-Co.-next-to-river

If you are visiting during the winter or the shoulder seasons, Perth can still be a fun place to be. All of the main tourist attractions will still be open, although some of the shops will operate on reduced hours.

In the winter, Perth is home to a free skating rink and plenty of snowshoe trails. But one of the best things to do in Perth Ontario during the winter is to cozy up in front of the fireplace found in most restaurants!

Sunday Closures

Just like most small towns in Ontario, many of the stores and even restaurants tend to be closed on Sundays and often Mondays as well. We found this to be the case more so in the off-season.

So when planning a weekend trip to Perth, it’s best to research beforehand, to avoid disappointment. Be sure to plan your shopping and museum visits for Saturday, and maybe leave the hikes and outdoor adventures for Sunday!

Perth-Ontario-library

Parking

There are many places to park when visiting Perth. Depending on what day you are visiting, and how long you will be staying, there are several options to choose from.

If you are looking for a lot that is located close to the center of town, head to the Crystal Palace and the Perth Library. This lot is free on Saturdays but paid for the rest of the week.

Street parking is also available in most parts of downtown Perth. Parking is free for up to 2-4 hours, depending on the street. Just look for the very visible signs posted at street level.

Perth-Ontario-Crystal-Palace

Washrooms

During the summer, there are public washrooms available at several locations throughout Perth. The most convenient locations when visiting the downtown heritage area are at the Crystal Palace and inside the Town Hall.

You can find a full list of washroom locations and when they are open here.

Is Perth Ontario Worth Visiting?

Absolutely! If you love visiting quaint little towns that are filled with history, great shopping, an awesome food scene, and plenty of outdoor adventures, then Perth is definitely for you.

And Perth is not just for family travel either. This gorgeous little town would be amazing for a romantic couples weekend, a girlfriend’s trip, or even an awesome stop for a solo traveller.

Perth-Ontario-Tips-and-Toes

How to Get to Perth from Toronto

If you are heading to Perth from Toronto, you are looking at a 3.5-hour drive (329 km). The best way to get there is by driving.

The easiest route to take would be to head eastbound on Highway 401 until you reach Belleville. You will then take Highway 37 N until you reach Highway 7/Trans-Canada Hwy. The Trans-Canada Highway will take you to Gore St W/Lanark County Rd 43 and right into Perth.

Technically, you could also take the train from Union Station in Toronto to Smith’s Falls, and then take a cab or ride share for the remaining 20 km into Perth. This would take you just over 4 hours and would cost almost $200 per person. Probably not the best option for family travel!

Perth-Ontario-sign

How to Get to Perth from Ottawa

At only a one-hour drive (85.7 km), Perth would make an excellent day trip from Ottawa. If you are visiting from abroad, it would be easy to fly into the Ottawa airport, rent a car, and head to Perth for the day (or the weekend).

Driving, you would leave Ottawa via Highway 417 heading West. Take exit 145 for Carelton Place/Toronto.

Continue on to Highway 7/Trans-Canada Highway until you reach Gore Street W, which then takes you right into Perth.

Once again, you could take the train from Ottawa to Smith’s Falls, and then take a cab or rideshare into Perth. The trip would take just over an hour and would cost roughly $100 per person.
