We loved it. It's the third experience of the kind after Pioneer village, in Toronto (our own town), and Barnaby Village in BC, but this was the first in Acadian language. There were a couple of "settlements" (can I call it houses?) where people apologized for not speaking proper English (even though I said it was fine as I'm not a native speaker myself) and another couple of places where they didn't go over a few words in English. If you speak French, you will be fine all around. If you only speak English, you will enjoy more than 90% of it, but be open to the experience.
We tried some fresh bread out of the stone wood oven, with also fresh butter... Oh my, delicious. Not 100% sanitary, but very good!
The restaurant was also great, we had pork with mesh parsnip and local beer. For desert, we had both options. I still can't decide which was best.
As an engineer, I loved the mill and the blacksmith. Very interesting!
Don't do like us and spend all the time in the first portion of the park, as we only had 30 minutes to explore after the bridge in the 1900's.
Avoid large groups if you're not part of them. There was this loud group, which made us uncomfortable, that we had to stall for a little as they would be very spacious and inadequate. They even went upstairs with strollers. These homes were designed to barely tightly pass an adult, they could think about it.
On that note, I don't know if little ones enjoy this type of entertainment, anyways. They usually get excited about the animals, but there weren't that many to see. So, they don't grasp the history of everything,
