Review of Greenwich Interpretation Centre

An annex to the island's national park, this interpretive center (open seasonally) offers a deeper explanation of the unique dune formations adjacent to St. Peters Bay. In addition to programs and displays, there are guided tours for individuals and groups. You can also take a cool break by making use of the beach, where supervised swimming is allowed from late June to the end of August. There are also bathrooms, changing facilities, showers, and an observation tower here. A visit here is worth a half-hour of your time to get oriented before plunging into the park. (Remember that entry to the dunes means entering the national park, which carries a summertime admission fee of C$7.80 per adult, C$6.80 per senior, and C$2.90 per child. All these rates are slashed by 50% during spring and fall.)

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
