Colony of Avalon Foundation reviews

Very interesting place to visit as it has a small interpretive Centre but a live archeological dig with an active lab was interesting. The guided tour with Anemone was the best - very friendly and informative. CBC initially kept us from the kitchen but we actually did get in at the end. Laurie was a hoot!

So fascinating! And the walk up to the lighthouse was worth it! The museum there, the ladies were very helpful and shared some very cool stories and full of knowledge! I’m jealous of where they live and their jobs. History is just so …

Great facility with knowledgeable staff! The live archaeological dig and lab were fascinating. The guided tour was informative and the guide, Anemone, was friendly and engaging. We initially couldn't access the kitchen due to CBC, but we were able to go in later. Laurie, a staff member, was very entertaining.
