Turn-of-the-century children's games, horse and wagon rides, family picnics and frequent special events contribute to the visitor experience.

Staff, in period dress, are open, honest and evocative. Anne and Diana, in character mingle with all the guests adding to the excitement of a visit to Avonlea. Avonlea showcases the work of island musicians, artists and craftspeople. Visitors to Avonlea will be involved in a magical, delightful, and entertaining collection of people, products and experiences-a collection which does justice to Prince Edward Island as seen through L.M. Montgomery's eyes. Open from June 10th to October 9th.

The National Park also features unique cultural resources, notably Green Gables and Dalvay-by-the-Sea National Historic Site.
