Plan your city escape to Kingston!

This week the Travel Show invites you to reload your curiosity at Kingston’s many extraordinary museums that chart its fascinating Marine, Military, Medical and Social history. Tour the city sites and museums aboard the historic Confederation Tour Trolley - including Canada's first Prime Minister's House, the Royal Military College and more.

And reload your adrenaline as History comes alive at a military re-enactment  at Fort Henry National Historic Site. A "must-see", Fort Henry is Ontario's only UNESCO World Heritage Site and history comes alive with costumed demonstrations, children's activities and dramatic sunset ceremonies until the end of August. A perfect family day out, your visit is packed with exciting, interactive events - artillery demonstrations, Children's Military Muster Parades, 1860's schoolroom lessons and more! Have your photo taken in period costume. Or if you are brave enough - enjoy a ghost tour.

Reload your appetite, dining aboard the majestic Island Star as you cruise the famous Thousand Islands. Savour ethnic and home grown menus at a choice of over 200 restaurants, washed down with fine vintage wines from neighbouring Prince Edward County. And savour the small city charm as you wander the historic downtown streets, breathing in the stunning Victorian architecture.

You can shop till you drop at unique boutiques, shops and markets. And feast on festivals such as the LimeCity Bluesfest (Aug 26 – 29, 2010) and much more! Kingston has great clubs and entertainment – including two great venues with fabulous year round programming: The K Rock Centre and the Grand Theatre.

Wander the walk-able waterfront paths - or enjoy the green spaces and hiking trails just ten minutes outside the city. Bird watchers delight in the many species found in this area and trails take you by marshlands and across wooden foot path bridges.Wander to Kingston this summer for your most unique getaway.
