Science North is a renowned science museum located in Northern Ontario, which offers a multitude of programs and exhibits suitable for visitors of all ages. It features attractions such as a planetarium, IMAX theatre, butterfly gallery and various workshops that cater to the curious minds of children and adults alike. The current showcase explores the scientific principles behind some Guinness World Records, an exciting spectacle that promises to captivate its guests.
Great place to visit with the kids. 4 levels with interactive exhibits and workshops on each. If you want to do the rock polishing activity on the 2nd floor or try the gyroscope on the 4th floor, add your name to the sign up board as early as you can as they book up quickly. Loved that you could order your food from Elements on your phone, pick up when notified, and take it to the large eating area with the screen and ample seating to watch films while you eat. Staff were incredible friendly and helpful. Lots to see and do. Loved it!

This is a really fun and interactive science experience! There are lots of different themes to explore- wildlife and nature (insects included), fossils, mining, outer space, the human body, etc. I went with my boyfriend and his family and we had a lovely time. I would definitely argue that this is more for the appeal of younger children as many of the activities are very easy and designed for kids. However, there is still lots to look at and learn. Overall, I think it's worth checking out!

Fantastic afternoon. If you are looking for 2-3 hours of fun from children of all ages with an awesome IMAX. Extremely clean and very friendly staff. So many attractions and interactive activities and science experiments.

We used our indigenous status to receive free entry. We went on a weekday afternoon, so no lines, no waiting, it was perfect for our visit. Both my children (2, 1) enjoyed the toddler area and the animals the most. There were quite a few stations that we skipped, just because our kids were too young to enjoy them, but the ones we did check out they liked and participated in. The staff were nice, especially the staff member at the Nature Exchange, he took the time to help my 2 year old find all the bugs. It was easy to get around with our double stroller, and our 2 year old easily found her way around as well.

My wife and I had an overall wonderful experience. The day we went was field trip day, and there was some additional noise and chaos from the children there but it didn't ruin our experience at all. The exhibits were interesting. Can't wait until the next time we return to the area and explore more of Science North.

First time visiting Science North. Adults is $25 to get in.Children 3-14 is $21 .There is a price for seniors but not sure we went into the Dinosaur exhibit. That was pretty good .Went into the Science part and was surprised at how well things were set up as there were ot of interative stations. It was very interesting and we had a great time .We also had lunch it was good food as well.

Wonderful experience! Took our grandchildren (ages 4 and 2) for a visit during March break. So many exhibits and soo much learning. Well staffed and well laid out. Definitely something for all ages. The kids loved viewing all the "animals" and really enjoyed the theatre Science experiment. The xrays were a big hit!

Lineup to get in is usually lengthy so buy tickets online before you go.
Great day trip for the family. If you like to STEM, this is the place for you. Lots of exhibits, hands on learning activities and science shows.
Staff are always friendly and enthusiastic about teaching science.
Only complaint is paid parking by the hour.

This was my first time back since the 90’s. My 5 yr old loved it. She had a wonderful time on all of the floors. It is a great day out and worth the money, there are so many interactive stations. You could easily spend an entire day here.

Lots of hands on learning. The interactive exhibits made it really engagingfor the kids and adults. It wasn't too crowded which made it so much more enjoyable.
If you have a membership to other Science Centres and make it up to Sudbury, it's definitely worth checking out Science North.
Dynamic Earth is an interactive museum that offers a range of earth science exhibits and activities. One of its main attractions is a large outdoor sculpture made entirely of nickel. Visitors can also take an underground tour, which includes going down a mine shaft and experiencing the use of dynamite. The museum has various hands-on activities and exhibits on two levels, including gold panning where visitors can collect small flecks to take home as souvenirs.
Underground tour was fun for the kids. They loved going down the mine shaft and experiencing the "dynamite". Different hands-activities and exhibits to explore throughout the two levels, including panning for gold - we found small flecks which we got to bring home on a souvenir card. Had a small eating area and would recommend bringing your own food if you want anything other than pepperoni pizza, chicken noodle soup, or chili for lunch. Kids loved the outdoor playground and spent a good while there. Staff was very friendly and helpful and were more than happy to answer any questions. Great experience!

Dynamic Earth has a lot of really cool and fun things that you can do! You can do an underground tour of a mine, you can pan for gold, you can take a video tour of the nickel smelting process, and they have movies throughout the day. When I was there, I did the underground tour. It isn't as deep as a regular mine for safety reasons but it is still pretty deep (70 feet). It was a fun experience, although it was really wet and humid, seeing it's underground. I highly recommend the tour though! You go through three centuries of mining history and get the tools and machinery used for mining during those three centuries. However I do warn people who are sensitive to flashing lights that they probably should be careful when doing the underground tour.

Fantastic experience to explore life in a real underground mine. The guide was quite knowledgeable and provided a decent insight about the evolution of underground mining. Apart from the tour, there is a discovery room with a lapidary to shape a raw piece of rock, the giant coin for taking photos and a restaurant.

No visit to the area is complete without visiting this historic site. The scenery is beautiful and the attraction is awesome to behold.

That was a very pleasant surprise ! Great underground tour, good and knowledgeable guide. Not a tourist trap for sure. Not too expensive and you will learn a lot. Highly recommended. There is some confusion on their website, the mine tout is located where the Big Nickel is. Enjoy!

Did not go into the museum; just wanted to see the giant coin. Was a very quick visit, but a neat thing to see for sure. Nice little maybe 2 minute walk up if you need to stretch your legs. My goal is to find all the giant coins hidden throughout Canada!

Underground tour is the highlight of Dynamic Earth. The museum part of the building is rather lacklustre but the staff are petty animated and try their best to get kids excited and interested in geology.

We’ve been a couple of times and our kids enjoy the hands-on exhibits about geology and mining, but this was the first time we were able to book a tour of the old mine. Our guide Sebastian was fun, and we enjoyed seeing how mining technology advanced through the decades.
Bell Park is a serene lakeside park that honors a prominent lumber baron. It boasts of an amphitheatre and two gazebos, not to mention a lengthy boardwalk trail that meanders around the lake. This park is perfect for families with children who can frolic down the hill or rest on benches while enjoying the gorgeous view. Even in winter, Bell Park exudes beauty with its snow-covered landscape, attracting pet owners for dog walks and sightseers alike.
Bell park is beautiful. It has a long boardwalk trail that goes around the lake. Kids loved it
they kept rolling down the hill. There is a gazebo near the lake. Benches through out if you need to sit and rest or just sit and enjoy the view. We went in December so lots of snow and ice. It looked gorgeous. Saw people walking their dogs. Washrooms are available, not sure if they were open. Bell park parking was closed but there is plenty of parking across the road. You can easily park and walk across to enter the park. Drop by if you are visiting Sudbury area.

Kids loved walking the board walk and seeing ducks and geese. It's a nice place because you can swim at different places off the boardwalk for more privacy or for people who have social anxiety. There is a change room and bathrooms. A nice park as well.

Bell park is a great place to spend an afternoon with family . There are public washrooms, a drinking fountain and a concession stand open during regular business hours. There's a park for littles, a little workout area, gazebos, benches everywhere and even a new inflatable water park. There is 1 supervised beach and a few unsupervised ones. The boardwalk is always lovely, and there a few different paths you can take on your walk as you enjoy your view of the lake and all the animals around, including squirrels and ducks. I definitely recommend coming here at least once if you're in Sudbury.

Nice place to go for a walk, the walking paths connect to surrounding trails… we can find a way around the entire Ramsey Lake. Nice place where most of the public events happening in summer in every weekend. We went for this year Snowday in February as well in winter season. People and pets love it there… even most of the red squirrels are approaching us without much caution. In summer we could see so many having swims and other water activities where as in winter people are ice skating on the Ramsey Lake ice… it’s really nice place even to sit and calm down for a moment…

Lake Laurentian Conservation Area is a vast expanse of natural beauty that includes lakes, ponds, scenic overlooks, and a nature trail. It offers winter sports and bird-watching opportunities without requiring tickets or parking fees. The lake is breathtakingly beautiful with amazing views that attract visitors to engage in activities such as hiking, fishing and canoeing.
To visit here, you don't need to buy tickets. Parking is also free, but to be parked on one side of the road or at the lake. The lake is beautiful and the views are amazing. We visited over the weekend and there was no rush. However people were roaming around, going on hikes, fishing, canoeing. It should be visited if you're in Sudbury.

This is the best conservation park with beautiful views at falls season, with red adn yellow leaves, and mirror-like lake. So beautiful to take pictures.
The trails are also not difficult. It was easy with beautiful and quiet place, not crowded. No admission fee. But the parking lot is quite limited. I will recommend to come here. We went there with friends and we would like to come again next time.

Sudbury is so blessed to have so many kilometres of beautiful trails and fantastic lake views so close within its boundaries. The trails vary in length and challenges. Great way to spend the day from 1.2 km to 10km hikes. There are areas where you can launch your own canoe and paddle on lakes that rarely any souls are on it.

I really enjoy taking short walks here. The architecture and statues are beautiful. Really great views of the city as well and I always enjoy walking the labyrinth.

Fabulous Place. steeped in peace, history, beauty. I would love to have the money and time to help out...however...they do such a good job! lost a star cause of the ugly overly huge parking ocean. The lakeside trees need to be kept trimmed so as to allow full view, for fireworks..ar Science North. The outhouse is handy, although it is misplaced. Should he away from the lakeside lookout platforms.
Photographing weddings during winter are a bit challenging but surprisingly this place gives you spots where you quickly can play around and if the couple are willingly to do extended shots in the cold you sure get golden pics. Can't wait to take pictures during summer in this place.

Five stars because this park is great for easy walks or stolls. Very handicap accessible. Very great for bird watching. They have picnic tables amd benches overlooking the lake. If you are hoping for pictures of birds or wildlife come prepared to sit a while or bring a 500 to 800 mm lens if your camera is built for interchangeable lenses. If you love extreme hikes this isn't for you. They have a lot of grassy fields which they keep groomed. On this trip I saw several different water fowl and an otter playing in the lake. If you love getting out in nature this is a good walking trail. I don't like the smoke stacks in the background but nevertheless still a beautiful park and walking trail.

Onaping Falls was a municipality located in Ontario, Canada that was established in 1973 and ceased to exist in 2000. The town was situated within the Sudbury region and drew its name from the cascading waterfalls found on the Onaping River.
Halfway Lake Provincial Park, situated approximately one hour north of Sudbury, is a favorite destination among hikers and anglers. The park offers an array of campsites, over 200 in total that come with hydro and non-hydro facilities close to Halfway Lake and Raven Lake. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a picturesque canoe route through the many lakes within the vast Northern Ontario Park. The primary beach at Halfway Lake is sizable with shallow waters but can be windy at times.
Superb beaches. Incredibly scenic hiking. Canadian Shield. Kids play structure. Private campsites and ice cream at the store. The only downside I would say is that the firewood at the store is *always* wet.

Disappointed to arrive only to be told Osprey Trail was closed and I wasn’t able to purchase a passport sticker due to lockdown (an item I can’t purchase online either). Then once identified a new trail echo pond we found out we had to walk from the beach parking 1km-1.5km or so to the trail due to it being obstructed (no overnight camping) so nearby parking was blocked. The trail is gorgeous and well maintained and we enjoyed ourselves but the customer service aspect was missing during my interactions. I’d recommend to check the park advisory before heading to ensure you have information on trail closures.

We were pleasantly surprised with the beauty of this park! It’s not very well known compared to some of the larger provincial parks but the trails and swimming areas were fantastic.
Most of the sites were occupied by RVs but we were one of the few who pitched tents. Washrooms were very clean during the pandemic which we appreciated.
The beach areas were lovely with great views of the coniferous trees. It was shallow for a long stretch, perfect for those who like to play frisbee or football! You could hear the highway faintly but it didn’t take away from the experience in my opinion.
We hiked the Osprey Heights trail during our stay and it was quite the trek! A bit of difficult uphill climbing and could be dangerous if wet but well worth the hike overall. The lookout point was a great place to stop for lunch. I just wish there was more than one picnic table our lunchtime overlapped with another couple. It took about 3 hours to complete the entire hike, including the time it took us to stop and eat.

Stayed 8 nights here late June and into Juky. Great quiet park. Black flies were terrible but it was in June and expected. The dumping and water stations are upgraded as well as the garbage/recycling area. Different difficulty of trails for the backwoods type of people or a a family with young children. Fishing was hit and miss with a few Like and bass caught during the trip. A nice lake and suitable for power boats it someone who wants to canoe. Park seemed a little bit under staffed. Cleaning of the showers and bathrooms was inconsistent but not terrible. I would definitely visit this park again. A great experience.
I've been going to Bay Used Books now since I was 10 years old, about 27 years ago! I still go regularly and love to take my kids in. I feel so at home there surrounded by all those books. The staff is so helpful if there's a specific book you are looking for and they're always so nice! I could honestly spend the entire day there just going through all the sections. (I actually took my engagement photos there a few years back :)). I would recommend Bay's to anyone since with so much variety, they really do have something for everyone.

I love Bay Used Books! Service is always top notch, everyone is knowledgeable and willing to help. I love that I can request titles through their website, and someone calls me back to confirm if they have it on hand. They even offer to put you on a wait list if you're hunting down some books, and they give you a shout when they come across them. You can easily spend hours here! Awesome activity, rain or shine, perfect for a date, a day out with the kids or even a little browse before or after catching a bite downtown. J'apprécie le service en français aussi! ❤️

I loved it here! It's organized better than (probably) all other used books stores I've been to and the staff is really nice. It's huge and stacked floor to ceiling with books. The best part, personally, is that there is a mix of newer and older books. Some are new books in pristine conditions while others are gently used older books. Everything has a place and it feeds my inner organizer. Also, they're pet friendly and I know my dog thoroughly enjoyed walking around.

Bay's is my go too for all books needed. Since I've gotten back into reading Bay's has helped with my searches every time. I've had to wait on a list for a book I wanted but no more than 2 weeks and if longer it's due to the need of Hardcover books otherwise we would get them faster. I've never been disappointed and enjoy my experience each and every time. It's definitely a great place for an outing or a date night. Keep up the great work Bay Used Team.

This store is a gem!!! excellent collection of books.

WOW! So many books to choose from and a lot of isles to go through. Staff is friendly and kind. Only thing I would say is that it is unorganized and isle are narrow. They do have isles/sections labelled but it is hard to find something your looking for.
I would recommend stopping by here is you are a bookworm!

Listen up folks used bookstores are dying like many other things don't let this happen. Bay used books has been a go to place for many decades. It is a wonderful way to spend a rainy day, or any time. Less expensive than chain bookstores. You never know you may find treasure.

Fantastic store and staff. Have been a patron for over a decade if they don't have what I need when I'm there I can always request it and when it becomes available they call me right away. Trade in program is fantastic as well. Highly recommend.

What an amazing book store! Visiting from Toronto, and too bad (or maybe it’s good thing otherwise I would spend all my $) that they aren’t in TO. Amazing and knowledgeable staff, just unbelievable amount of good books that are in great conditions and unbeatable prices!

The only place for used books in Sudbury. My one wish is that when you go in, if they could help.more when looking for a specific book. Often, you're pointed to where a genre is...

I had no idea Bay Used Books was started in Sudbury. I went many times to the Bells Corners location up until it closed. I was very happy to see this amazing institution living on in their own building. A little cramped and crowded with books in the way only a long standing used book store can be. If you're going, set aside lots of time to browse - books are often stacked three rows deep and you might miss some treasures if you don't take the time to dig a little. Super friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to go back the next time I'm in Sudbury!
Fairbank Provincial Park is a 105-hectare nature reserve that features a sandy beach for swimming, waterfront camping sites, and a picnic shelter. The campground is occupied by friendly long-term campers who are always willing to assist fellow campers. Although the park is reasonably clean, the washrooms require better maintenance. There are fewer activities available than other campsites visited before. However, there is an excellent beach near the electrical sites suitable for watching sunrises (bring bug spray!).
Went there for the long August weekend. The place is clean and washrooms are well cleaned. But you can't get cell signals on most of the areas in the campsite.

Nice and friendly staff. The comfort station was clean and the park was relatively quiet. The beach area has crystal clear water and there is a boat launch. The Wa-Shai-Ga-Mog hiking trail is a short and easy loop with great views of the lake. The only downside to this park, and for some it may be a bonus, but it is a little way off the beaten trail and the road back to it is in rather poor condition.
Craig McLeod — Google review
I stayed in the park for 4 nights. Nice park, some campsites are lake facing which are gorgeous.
The only problem is washrooms and showers. They are not well maintained.
Beach is very nice. People are friendly.Park wardens are very helpful.
Please do take a note there is no cell phone service network.

Love Fairbanks! Such a gorgeous place full of trees and ferns and lots of small wildlife. The water is so clear and clean and you get a perfect view of the sunset. Park is nicely maintained and staff is very helpful and friendly. Great to relax here for a weekend!
Edit: So many negative reviews about the road to get there and no cell phone service. Yes, the road is a little rough, you're in the bush far from any city, drive slow. No, there's no cell service. You're camping! There's always staff available if there's an emergency.

Great place .clean washroom and bathroom. At this time of period in August didn't get lots of mosquitos still needed to put bug spray because after rain they will come . It was little cold too.

This park has tremendous potential, I hope Ontario Parks realizes they have neglected this hidden gem. The good: Clear and clean water, beach, day use area, playgrounds area, and campsites. The bad: One small outdated and run down 'comfort station'. Pot holes within the park (at least the road leading up to the park were filled up for the most part). Only one hiking trail.

Fairbank Provincial Park is located in a secluded maple tree forest slightly over 45mins West of Sudbury. 🐶 Completely dog friendly park including the beaches (1 off leash dog beach, rest you'll have to leash your dog). The only con (and I mean the only con) is there isn't much privacy due to lack of vegetation between majority of the sites. Still very beautiful, great sized sites, lots of water front sites, crystal clear water, friendly staff and group camping sites. We will definitely come back.
Eff DeeCare — Google review
This is a nice little campground just outside of Sudbury and about 20 minutes north off the hwy.
Sites seem to be fairly private with a good mix of RV and renting sites.
Some are right on the water with access, others are a walk to the beach.
There is an onsite hike with a great lookout and some history of the area. Interestingly you can find cell phone coverage while on the hike as it is super limited from within the park and campsites.
Washrooms are plentiful and clean but the one comfort station can be a bit of a ways away depending on where you are.
I stayed two night on the way out and came back for one night on the way back showing up without a reservation.
Will return.
Note: this review from a solo traveller, one tent and might reflect the observations.

Clean, well treed and beautiful lake frontage sites. Sites are well spaced. A long way in off the highway. In all, a very good provincial park finds the balance between remaining somewhat wilderness and accommodating campers' needs. Staff are friendly. I would rate it 5 stars except for the idiot on a jet ski, who, on a peaceful day, chooses to go in endless circles right off shore.
mister rude — Google review
I stayed at the campground for two days. Most campers appeared to be there long term, and were very friendly and helpful! The park itself was fairly clean, however, the washrooms weren’t well maintained.
For activities, there were a little less to partake in then other campgrounds I’ve been to, but the big beach near the electrical sites was perfect for watching the sunrise (make sure to wear big spray!) and The trail on site was short but nice, just make sure to wear shoes! It has a nice incline and it’s full of rocks.

Definitely worth checking out!!! They have a decent amount of animals to see, we didn't get to really pet anything but it was still worth it. The staff are very friendly and seem knowledgeable about their animals, the enclosures seemed a little small for some animals (but I'm not an expert). The pricing was actually really decent $30 per adult! Definitely want to go back again.

Great store and even better education area. All 4 of our girls absolutely loved seeing all the reptiles and animals and hearing their different stories. Highly recommend checking these guys out! Their educational area is full of rescue animals taken in by the owner and all proceeds from the admission price goes to keeping the rescue operating.

Good beer! Food was good and excellent French fries but hamburger and Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich had old buns ( dry like day or 2 old ) so it spoiled great food. Service was below level as there were only 2 tables with guests but no napkins served and nobody to help bring napkins after we finished food or even to come and ask how is food / if we need anything. So we stood up and went to the bar and got napkins on our own so we can clean greasy hands. 3 stars because of old buns and non existent service.

We ordered a caesar salad and it wasn't even big enough to be called a salad. And it was a $10 salad. We were expecting to be able to share it at least..The service that we had wasn't great. The place was not busy by any means and the food took a very long time to get to us. But the food was delicious! The food was fine dining Style with a hint of barbecue.. It was Very tasty and homemade.

Six of us had an enjoyable Friday evening dinner here to celebrate the week’s end. We were able to reserve a table, although it wasn’t all that busy on this night. But don’t let that dissuade you from dropping by. If you like beer and like to eat good food (I mean who doesn’t right?!?) then you gotta give Stack Brewhouse a try.
The food was surprisingly very good I must say. So flavourful. The smoky flavour of their salsa with wonton nachos was amazing!! Some of our meals are pictured below. My house burger was outstanding! My daughter commented that her pumpkin and ricotta gnocchi was the best gnochi she’s had anywhere in the city (I’m sure this upset my wife because she makes a good gnocchi herself! 😉) The service we received from our waiter, Dylan, was outstanding and made the dining experience that much more enjoyable.
However there were a couple of annoyances that detracted only minimally from our experience. Our entres seemed to take longer than normal, especially considering it really wasn’t that busy in there. As well, they had overhead fans operating to move the air, but we felt it made it just a bit too drafty. We didn’t raise this concern with Dylan so I’m not sure if it could have been addressed.
The ownership team has done a masterful job transforming this building into what it is today. If you haven’t already, go check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

Another fantastic parking lot picnic spot! Since we can't eat-in during the pandemic, we decided to call & order lunch to pick up here today -- yummmm! I'm glad we did!
Hubby chose the pulled pork sandwich with fries & I opted for the Nashville Hot Fried Chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries... both were a bit messy to eat in the car, but Stack provided us with enough napkins and a couple of wet wipes to get us through unscathed 😉 (**remember to ask for napkins, utensils & condiments**).
FWIW, I think hubby's fries were the most delicious fries we've had in a long time... extra crispy, just the way I like them.
We both enjoyed our choices and can't wait to be able to dine-in in person 😋😋

I visited Sudbury's newest restaurant last night for the first time and wasn't disappointed!
The parking lot looked full so we expected wait, walked in the door and got seated within 30 seconds. We had our choice of bar lounge or seated area up top. We sit in the seating area, had a cool view of the actual brewery behind a wall of glass windows.
There was a reservation of over twenty people that were just beginning to arrive as we did, despite that our server was quick with drink and food orders, checked in in a timely fashion and got us our bill. We didn't feel rushed or like we were waiting at any point in time. I forget his name but he was a younger guy and he was great! Very knowledgeable of the menu, beer and how they make some of the menu items which we appreciated!
I had the "Stack Mac" and my boyfriend the "Smorgasbord", both absolutely delicious and made in house!
Thank you Stack for the great new addition to Sudbury, we'll be back for sure!

Great craft beers! Outstanding food! And lovely service!
A really good selection of different foods, with a big enough selection to accommodate most tastes.
I'd highly recommend the cheese dip to start and their take on a Reuben sandwich. Also go for the sweet potato fries.
If you like beets, my wife really recommends the salad.
Will be back!

The Anderson Farm Museum is a historic site that was once a dairy farm in the 1920s. It offers visitors the opportunity to discover and examine the barn and other structures on the premises, as well as enjoy their picturesque surroundings.
This is a great place to spend a bit to me and see how Canada was created .

Anderson farm is only a short walk from where my family lives and it is a favourite place of ours. We love going there for events such as the winter Carnival and fall fair. The tree lighting ceremony is always wonderful. It is also a great historic site that we are lucky to have in our community. The community garden is there and the area is well maintained and beautiful. I love to sit there on the grass in the summer and just enjoy the area.

The Sudbury Theatre Centre is a well-established venue that offers a diverse range of both classic and contemporary performances throughout the year. Patrons can expect to enjoy various shows, including plays, musicals, and comedies. With its impressive lineup of talented actors and actresses, audiences are sure to have an unforgettable experience at this theater. Some popular performances include Hockey Dreams in 2017 and Leisa Way's: Rock 'n Roll is Here to Stay.

The Fielding Bird Sanctuary is a beautiful and serene natural refuge located near a lake with ample parking and accessible walking trails. Visitors can enjoy the diverse range of local bird species and flora while taking peaceful walks along the trails. The sanctuary offers both short and long trail options for nature lovers to explore. However, it lacks washroom facilities which could be inconvenient for some visitors. The park has plenty of benches and picnic tables where one can rest or have a meal amidst nature's finest offerings.
Very peaceful...can go for a small trail or a longer one. Nature's finest.

A true treasure that so few people take the time to enjoy.
( which , selfishly , I don't mind as it's never to crowded!! Lol)
I go there to re-connect with spirit and the innocence of the natural world that , as a race , as the " Stewards" of this "tiny blue dot" , have NOT been doing our responsibility. This world is a precious gift. As each one of us are. Modern society has made us blind to this connection and responsibility AND honour.
You and your loved ones must go there once.

Northern Ontario Railroad Museum & Heritage Centre
The Northern Ontario Railroad Museum & Heritage Centre is a museum situated in an early 1900s Victorian house, dedicated to preserving the region's railroad history. Along with the rail yard and old fire station, it offers visitors an enjoyable experience. The friendly and helpful staff make every visit worthwhile. Guests can look forward to annual events during Halloween and Christmas to see their splendid light display.
Amazing museum! The cottage is quaint and full of fabulous antiques. The rail artifacts, engines and box cars are in great shape and displayed in a beautiful outdoor setting. Allowing visitors to tour inside the boxcars and cottages you can feel a sense of the railroads’ historical legacy to northern Ontario and area. We received a personal tour from Frances and Eileen who are also very involved and active in the continued restoration and historical design set up of the box cars, cottages, gardens and museum overall. Joanne was our personal guide through the fire hall museum that housed an incredibly extraordinary model train exhibit. The “old” jail cell was quite interesting and a little spooky as well. This is a great place with lots to see and do for both children and adults. The staff are charming and their knowledge of the railroad and its story is entertaining and amazing. A definite place to visit if you are in the Sudbury vicinity.

Loved visiting and taking my special needs client there. I loved going inside the cabooses. My favorite was the train model set up in the basement. Owen gave us a guides tour. He did incredible!!!! Answered our questions and kept us engaged throughout the tour. My client was scared to come down the engine using the stairs and I spend a good 10-15 minutes verbally encouraging and talking him to get back down. Owen was very patient and helped me with making my client feel relaxed and calm to get down. Thanks a lot!! I will definitely be coming back. Well worth the money.

Listen. I like the Rails, sometimes I even ride 'em. But this place has it all! My bud Bennett and I got the royal treatment, with our host Owen T giving us endless tidbits and #neatfacts. This guy says he wants to be an accountant, and if he handles the numbers like he handles the FACTS lemme tell you! You are in good hands.
There is another fellow named Owen, and he sold me one of those wicked train whistles. That is all I have to say about him. TBD.

A northern gem, the Railroad Museum is fun for families and interesting for all ages. The gardens are gorgeous, the playground is fun, and the trains are set up nicely with historic dioramas, plus a fun engine for kids to explore hands-on. Mine loved ringing the bells outside and watching the miniature train. There is a good picnic area and a dining room inside with desserts for sale. The museum exhibits in the house were well done, we didn't take the guided tour but still enjoyed reading about the equipment and area history. The fire station is great too, make sure to ask the attendant for a tour.
