I adore a quick getaway. This past weekend, I had the chance to getaway to Kitchener Waterloo. My itinerary included: a visit to St. Jacobs Market, Tubing at Chicopee Tube Park and a visit to the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory. Of course I had to squeeze in a visit to an independent coffee shop as well.
Here’s exactly how we spent 24 hours in Kitchen Waterloo.
Friday March 7th:
6:30 pm Arrived at the Four Points by Sheraton Kitchener-Waterloo Hotel & Suites and was immediately impressed with their contemporary decor. Bonus points for the box of ear phones in the Fitness Room for guests who forget to bring a pair! Wow…talk about paying attention to detail. Everyone loved the clean pool and bubbling jacuzzi as well. I would stay at this property again in a heart beat.
Saturday March 8th:
9:00 am Quick coffee at DVLB. We loved the coffee and the cool space that this coffee shop offered. I’m sure it’s a hit with customers both in the morning and in the evening too!!
10:00 – 11:00 Visit to St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market. This was my first time at this market and it will not be my last time!!
12:00 pm – Another visit to the pool at Four Points by Sheraton and then checked out.
1:00 – 2:00 pm – Dropped by the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory and totally was in love this space. Three words come to mind: peaceful, beautiful, and tranquility.
2:30 – 4:30 pm.- A visit to Chicopee Tube Park. Disclosure: I did not participate (um…tried it a few years ago and it’s not for me!!) but my boyfriend (who had never been tubing before), was a happy camper.
5:00 pm – 6:30 pm – Travel back to Toronto (sniff).
This getaway provided us with an opportunity to getaway, explore Ontario, and visit some attractions that appealed to us. It would be a great destination for the upcoming Family Day Weekend as well.
Many thanks to Waterloo Regional Tourism Marketing Corporation for reaching out to me and for making this trip happen!!
