...................plus a lot more!

And there are a lot of other things to see and do, as well, if you want to bring the family:

Riverview Park and Zoo: Our beautiful FREE zoo has some great animal displays, including a new-ish otter exhibit; fantastic features for kids, including multiple playgrounds, an 80 foot superslide running from the zoo down to the river valley, and a splash park, picnic areas, and Frisbee golf.  http://www.peterboroughutilities.ca/Park_and_Zoo/Features_and_Attractions.htm

Canadian Canoe Museum:  The largest collection of its kind, the Canoe Museum boasts almost 600 canoes and kayaks and over 1000 related artifacts in interactive exhibits.  You can experience the exhibits, see canoes being built and restored, and even take part in an artisan's workshop.  http://www.canoemuseum.ca/ 

Peterborough Lift Locks:  This structure, completed in 1904, is the tallest hydraulic lift lock in the world, raising and lowering watercraft 65 feet from one level of the Trent-Severn Waterway to another with no other power, only the brilliant use of gravity and counterbalance!   There is a visitors' centre, tours, and cruises.
