O Canada

If you are looking for excitement and adventure, then Windsor, Ontario, is the place for you. Only a trip across the Ambassador bridge, this delightful city of 200,000+ and home of the prestigious University of Windsor has all the fun you could ever want.

Visitors to this lovely town will enjoy a nice walk along the Detroit River and get the best view of Detroit that the planet has to offer. One can glimpse the Detroit skyline, as well as enjoying the local cruise lines.





One should always visit the local attractions, and Windsor is no exception. To get a flavor of the local culture, one should definitely take a tour of the local sign exhibits, including the:

the Fill-in-the-Blank collection,
Fill-in-the-Blank collection,
the Riddle-Me-This Collection,
and, of course, the infamous Viciously-Cruel-Fountain-Designer-and-Other-Inhumanities collection.

Model of the Francois Baby House.
Another local cultural attraction one should not miss is the renowned Francois Baby House.  This fine community museum presents the history of the House, such as its role in a planned invasion of Michigan and other areas of the US, and other fascinating exhibits covering the magic community in Windsor, the Windsor Federation of Musicians, and a sampling of miniatures. Also among the museum's offerings is a cabinet of oddities, such as a fine piece of art made entirely of human hair and an actual scalp, among other strangely bizarre artifacts. Children and adults will love the hands-on portion of the museum, and will even have a chance to leave behind a hand of their own. Be sure to swing by the museum's gift shop for some excellent souvenirs for your friends back home.

Naturally, while traveling one must partake of the native cuisine. Canada is no exception and visitors should be sure to try out Pho Xic Lo, one of the finest Vietnamese restaurants Windsor has to offer. Other exotic food selections include a fabulous variety of Cadbury bars, and one should not miss out on the bagged milk.

For the more intellectually minded traveler, you can feast upon the fine body of Canadian-ish literature at the annual Terry Fox Giant Used Book Sale*.

Included in our Windsor package is the supremely successful language course, "Learn to speak Canadian in 3 Words or Less," where you will learn to properly pronounce about and gain the essential knowledge of Canadian grammar, eh.

So sign up for your Windsor Travel Experience today, and take the trip of a lifetime!
