Kitchener Information

Kitchener, a large town of over 200,000 residents, is located in southwestern Ontario. The land that Kitchener is built on was originally given to Canada from the British as a gift for their loyalty during the American Revolution, and thus was settled by Europeans in the late 18th-century. The Grand Trunk Railway industrialized the area, bringing over immigrants and the many festivals and traditions that accompany them. Today, Kitchener enjoys many music festivals and art galleries, making it an active and enjoyable city. Kitchener is the home of the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, which is the largest Bavarian festival in the world outside of Germany!

Victoria Park, a large green space in the middle of the city, is described as the “jewel of the city” and is well-loved by visitors and residents alike. Take a stroll on the walkways to see birds and geese, or pack a lunch and eat at one of the picnic shelters. There are multiple play areas for children and a bar and restaurant called The Boathouse for the adults. This historically rich city is home to many museums. The Doon Heritage Village is a living history exhibit in which interpreters dress in period-appropriate costumes and give visitors an authentic glimpse into the region’s past. There are many family-friendly activities, including live animals! The Joseph Schneider Haus, a restored Mennonite home from the 19th-century, teaches visitors about the German roots of the town. No matter the season, travelers will find something fun to do at Chicopee Ski and Summer Resort. During the winter, the slopes open for skiing, snowboarding, and sledding. The runs are not too challenging, making it an ideal destination for families and new winter sports enthusiasts. In the summertime, go mountain biking or hiking on the many trails throughout the area.
