CAVENDISH, P.E.I. —
Green Gables is staying open for tours for almost an extra month.
Parks Canada says based on demand from the international touring market in Japan and travel trends provided by Destinations Canada, a pilot initiative to extend the period of off-season tours by appointment at Green Gables Heritage Place this year until Dec. 20.
Currently, Green Gables is open daily from May 1 to Oct. 31, and tours of the house are available by special appointment April 15-30, and Nov. 1-30 each year.
In 2019, tours by appointment will also be offered from Dec. 1 to 20.
Following this season, Parks Canada will evaluate the feasibility of continuing this offer in future years.
While the goal of the initiative is to work together to increase Japanese tourism in the off-season, tour operators and interested individuals from all locations who wish to visit Green Gables
House are invited to contact Parks Canada to make a special appointment.
Parks Canada staff will be available to provide guided tours on request.
To book an appointment, call ahead of time at 902-963-7874 or email greengables.info@pc.gc.ca. The special appointment fee of $73.60 applies for these openings.
