Kingston Pen Tours

The Kingston Penitentiary Tour

The Kingston “Pen”, as the locals call it, is no longer an active prison. But it is actively taking in visitors from all over the world! As the oldest prison in Canada, this former colonial hub held theives, scoundrels, and, well, anyone who was deemed unworthy of freedom in the new colonies.


The Pier!

Queen’s University is one of the only schools in the world with a fresh water beach right at it’s feet! Jump into the water this September with your pals! The sun is shining, the lake is fresh and clear…ahhh…Kingston’s where it’s at.
