It was ok...much of the same tourist type things. Not much to do or eat really. The burger place where we ate was great! Other than that not a place I will likely return too.

Nice to spend some time here. When I was here it was very quiet, but nice (touristic) shops

We stopped here with our two dogs for coffee in the morning at Samuels, and looked lunch in the afternoon at Moo Moos. Holy cow, the pulled pork & brisket grilled chese were the best thing we had the whole trip.

Nice historical buildings and stores. Getting ice cream at Cows is reason alone to stop.

It's a nice little place, but not somewhere to spend a day. Has various eateries and shops. There's a Cows Ice Cream, Boomburger, Dave's Lobster, and more. Definitely a tourist place. Plenty of seating areas. Parking avaliable.

Great spot to stop on your PEI road trip to grab some lunch. Plenty of options and outdoor seating to enjoy the great PEI weather. Be prepared to wait in line a bit depending on which restaurant you pick as this is a popular spot than can get busy.

This is a really cute spot for lunch and just to kind of take you outside of the norm of your day. There are small shops in the area, some artisan shops and ice cream (Cows, of course).

We just stopped in for the museum. Wish we could have stayed kinder to enjoy it all. They have amusement parks and so much more. Will definitely go back. Its can be a whole day just there. It was a very cool place to visit. So peaceful.

Its touristy for sure but if it preserves historical buildings in some way then I'm all for it. It's also a stones throw away from Green Gables so a good place to grab some grub before or after your visit. All the COWS gave are here from MooMoo, their Italian restaurant, Boom Burger, and ofcourse their excellent ice cream. LH Montgomery's church and old one room schoolhouse is here. The entrance looks like an old train station. The whole feel of the place is simple yet modern. Ample free parking. It's a good addition to Cavendish.

Great outdoor concert venue and stage. Staff is so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to get back to get some fun in the sun. Cow's ice cream. Plus stopping in to grab Anne paraphernalia is a must. Parking can be difficult during CBMF weekend. You've been warned. Got to see lots of flowers, cows and potatoes.

This open air food court is a recreation of the Avonlea area in the Anne of Green Gables books, featuring several restaurants and gift shops with convenient parking. The restaurants range from burgers, pizza, lobster roll (a Maritimes typical sandwich) and grill cheese, with some options for dessert - ice cream, donuts and chocolate. Price range is fair, going from reasonably priced to typical tourist trap value. The gift shop is good, but not so different from the others, though the price is right - if you don't want to shop for prices, it's likely you won't get scalped.

A cute shopping village with restaurants. I was happy to find an Ann of Green Gables chocolate shop there!

Great if you just want to eat and shop for souvenirs. I remember it much differently even from just 6 years ago... You could dress up in period clothes, there were skits being performed, there was a petting zoo... Was kind of disappointed, but my kids had fun anyway!

Neat place, good food but hope you got some money, she is an expensive place. The food is amazing though, try doughnuts by design it is phenomenal.

Love what theyÒ€ℒve done with the place! By preserving history and reusing these buildings, theyÒ€ℒve recreated a quaint village for everyone to enjoy. The gardens are beautiful. There is shopping and restaurants for everyoneÒ€ℒs tastes. One of my favourite spots in Cavendish to visit, even as a local

Fun little place... but only when in season and if you're looking for a bite to eat or shopping. I was hoping to get more historical stuff but it was more geared to eating and gift shops.

The idea of the village, variety of restaurants and shops, outdoor food court and ample parking, is all great, but for a commercial space this size the lack of restrooms is shocking. When I arrived just after busy lunch time, the womenÒ€ℒs was closed for cleaning, there was a lineup to the tiny menÒ€ℒs rooms and everyone started going in there which is fine, but then on top of this the single family washroom and the fact that toilets in the regular bathrooms are the worst possible design for little kids made it very awkward to have my three year old use the bathroom. A terribly planned and executed set up. Good ice cream, though.

The village is free and small basically you go their to eat only nothing special. The pizzeria is very good. Good services and products range. Recommended

Great centralized food and gift venue in a village from 2 centuries ago (right out of Anne of Green gables or Road to Avonlea. We went to Boom burger and I will caution you that a large fry was spilled over into the bag.....soooo many fries made from Local spuds. Meat is fresh and local as well. We had a sampling of Cows ice cream and checked out some of the shops. A couple of the buildings needed roof repairs but other than that it was a well kept spot.

Oh my gosh! As a huge fan of the Anne of Green Gables and Avonlea series, this was a dream come true! My husband and kids did not grow up reading the books or watching the shows and they even had an absolute blast! I cannot give enough credit to the characters who never broke their character once and got us to play along with them! One of them even taught our kids how to play a game called Crokinole. We heard great music, ate delicious food and treats, and had the best time enjoying this super fun little town! Keep in mind, this is not the town from the shows but I did not care, it was awesome anyways. I will never forget our experience here 😊

Beautiful place to visit. Small museum but very lovely. Worth the walk in the forest if you like nature. Staff on site are awesome and know well the history of the place. Plus you can also visit inside the house! Great experience would recommend even if you didn't read the book.

This is a nice place e to wander around. Was let down as a couple of the bigger stores where closed. We had some Cows ice cream, lines at this branch where much shorter the the board walk branch. Wandered through most of the shops lots of random tourist things.

Interesting school house where the author of Anne of Green Gables first taught. Also first Moo's, the best ice-cream ever, first opened. Otherwise, nothing more to see

Hey, it's Anne of Green Gables....what's not to like?! Fun shops, good food, nice sitting areas. As long as you embrace you're being pandered to as a tourist it's a nice experience.

Lots of great places to eat and eclectic shops. The buildings are cute and feature great architecture and exterior spaces. However, we found the pricing overpriced. $18 for one lobster roll. $3.25 for a single donut. If you want to take your family here be prepared to pay.

Not too kitschy/tacky, nice shops with local products. Nice variety of restaurants too. Higher-end better quality version of the Cavendish boardwalk. Not very big.
