With a 7 year old I would pay for the parking at the top of the hill. We were there on a weekday and paid $10 and then we went on a holiday and the fee went up to $20. But if you park in the free parking by the time you hike up to the trails your 7 year old will be exhausted. The interpretive center has some fun hands on exhibits that I would recommend checking out too. Plan for at least a couple of hours to explore.

Q:
Where should we ask UBER driver to drop us off if we want to hike?
A:
I would ask the Uber to drop off nearby where you enter and pay to park. From there you can hike the trails or just go for a stroll on the beach

Hi! I wanted to follow up about this post. I ended up going with my husband and daughter - it was beautiful! We lucked out with a parking spot at the top and did the Razor Point Trail then Guy Fleming. Pushing the stroller around especially backup hill after Guy Fleming was tough but well worth it! I’d recommend it for anyone with a jogging stroller, lots of sun screen, and the strength to carry a stroller up and down a couple stairs!
