You know it’s summer when Heritage Park throws open the front gates.
Check out Gasoline Alley sure to be a hit with any automobile enthusiasts. This airy structure is home to antique cars and gas pumps. Most are museum pieces and off limits to little hands with the exception of the 1917 Stewart Delivery Truck (there’s no sign so get directions). The Family Gallery portion of the Alley pays homage to the family road trip and children can play vintage games, visit the Drive-in (in a 1951 Chevrolet Sedan) and ride tricycles on an indoor track.
If you’re looking for a bit of sustenance, there are several shops and restaurants located outside of the main gate that do not require the price of admission. The most family friendly is The Railway Café serving soup, sandwiches and salad. We suggest returning at dinner time for an adult-only foray, including a peek into the antique shops and dinner at the upscale Selkirk Grille. The best family treats are still inside the gates including ice cream at The Vulcan Ice Cream Parlour and five cent candies at the candy shop next door. We like to compliment our treats with a bag lunch and focus our time on the attractions.
