Don’t have time to pack a lunch?
Our food truck has you covered!
From burgers and poutines to maple taffy and hot chocolate you are sure to find the perfect comfort food.
We got the trails all groomed and getting the frost in so we can start flooding the next cold stretch we get. Season is coming soon.
We got our trails all raised up with sand and leveled off. Now we are waiting for winter. Who's excited for skating season?
Newest addition to the fleet. Now we will be able to clean the snow off the trails when we are open with this narrow tractor and snowblower without disturbing the skaters.

Even on their busiest day, people were pleasant and there was plenty of space for everyone to skate. My daughter has special needs and needs a walker for balance. The local arenas do not allow them. We were able to skate and have fun as a family despite physical limitations. Way to go, Countryside Adventures! Santa will be bringing season passes next year!read more

Après avoir consulté les recommandations, nous avons décidé de profiter d'un beau samedi froid et ensoleillé pour explorer cette patinoire et essayer nos nouveaux patins. Un accueil chaleureux dès notre arrivée! Des gens sympathiques et fiers de leur entreprise! Les lieux sont propres et tout est super simple. Notre chien était le bienvenue et tout le monde était de bonne humeur sur les pistes. La condition des pistes était superbe! Nous seront de retour! Quel bijou dans notre région de l'Est ontarien!read more

We brought a school group of 75 kids today and we had a great time. The owners were very accommodating, since Mother Nature hasn’t been, with several date changes, so we were very appreciative. The facility is well-organized, clean, and the trails were awesome! The food was yummy. The animals were a hit too! The kids asked if we could come back again next year! Thanks for an amazing day!read more

Love this place! The friendly tight-knit staff is so fun and caring, my daughter absolutely loved the little petting zoo. At only 15 months, the trail is wide enough for the traffic that I can manage to pull her behind me in her little sled. She and I both loved the getaway for the fresh air, the beautiful countryside scenery and not to mention the delicious food at the chip stand......

The ice wasn't great for skating, very mushy throughout the entire way. Great idea, but you would think they would close due to the conditions of the ice. Especially, if they would like repeat business. I found the skate rentals high, ten dollars per person. Petting zoo very small with standing water along the front of the fenced in area of the goat. Children don't know any better. I worried about the contents of the puddle. The bonfire was nicely set up with a hill the children went sliding on. I didn't buy anything from the snack wagon. The staff wasn't very friendly it was business as usual. My experience wasn't what, I expected.read more

What a great idea ....this was a fun outing and something different to do ......haven't skated in many years, lucky we were there on very quiet and sunny day so it was very enjoyable. Ice was a litte rough in some spots, but given the crazy weather we had it was in pretty good condition over all.
We'll go again next year!read more

A fun place to go skating in the woods. The trail is well groomed and the ice was well maintained (with the occasional bumpy or less than ideal ice patches well marked). Near the main entrance there is a food truck, a bonfire area, a small sliding hill for the kids, and some farm animals in a little fenced area. The price was $12 per adult (and a little less for kids). The place is cash only, but there is an ATM on site. My only complaints are that a few more trails would be nice, and the views are a bit sparse without many evergreen type trees (except in one short section). There is also one kind of odd section where you skate through an open area that looks a bit like a gravel pit with a backhoe parked in the middle. It kind of ruins the illusion of skating through the woods when you do cross through this area. My understanding is that the place has only been opened for a couple years. All in all, it offers a pretty fun outing, but has the potential for an even better experience by adding a few more trails and planting some more evergreens along the trail. Regardless of these issues, Countryside Adventures is still well worth checking out.read more
