Where to Go in Windsor While High
Once you get your package with weed from an online dispensary, consider exploring the exciting city of Windsor. After taking a few hits from your vape pen or smoking a fat joint, consider trying your luck at a casino, and there are actually four casinos in the area! You can also go back in time by visiting a number of National Historic sites in Windsor. If you’re more into outdoor activities, go for a bike ride around the city to explore its interesting landscapes and lively city center.
Here are our top 3 places to visit in Windsor:
1. Try your luck at a casino
There are four casinos in the Detroit–Windsor area, though Caesars Windsor is the only one in Windsor itself. The casino sits along the waterfront overlooking Detroit, so even if you don’t want to gamble you can still enjoy the views from the bar. The casino attracts over six million visitors each year, featuring a Roman Empire theme. Try your luck at Caesars Windsor’s poker tables, blackjack tables, craps tables or baccarat tables, or slip coins into one of its many slot machines.
2. Go for a bike ride
If you love the outdoors and cycling, the Roy A. Battagello River Walk Bike Trail is a must. The trail starts at the Ambassador Bridge and continues through the city for eight kilometres. The bike trail goes through Downtown Windsor and many of its parks, including Dieppe Gardens and the Windsor Sculpture Park. It also connects with other trails, like the Russell Street Neighbourhood Trail and the La Salle Trail Network.
3. Look at art
A great thing about Windsor is that this can be done both inside and outside. On a nice day, go for a leisurely stroll around the Windsor Sculpture Park, which is home to 35 large-scale sculptures. If you would rather stay indoors, head to the Art Gallery of Windsor. The gallery was established in 1943, and since then it has grown considerably.
