A beautiful & short drive from our Airbnb
It is truly a unique farmers market. You can find quality gifts, or just really interesting every day & locally sourced products!
My favorite time to go is in summer, when they sometimes have live animals to view- a great place for families, couples, and single travelers.
Don't forget to get a fresh treat there, you won't regret it 😉

Traveler advice
Getting around
Traveling in Waterloo
Driving is great in this city- not much traffic compared to other cities, and short distances to common destinations.
You can easily and safely ride a bike here too if you prefer. Some trails start in wooded areas and you can get into the downtown core using them!
Walking is also enjoyable- scenic, quiet & plenty of hills for those who enjoy the incline.
Don't miss
Thursdays and Saturdays are for farmers market!
St Jacob's Farmers Market is a MUST if you have the time!
