While camping at Marten River provincial park, we took a drive to Temagami and climbed the fire tower in town. We'll worth the effort. A spectacular view of the area.

As a result of glacial movement thousands of years ago, twenty self-contained lakes were formed in this park, which now offers various activities for all seasons.

We spent over 6 hours here. There is so much to do and learn from. We liked the different films and the hands on exhibits. We enjoyed the underground tour of the mine it is well worth visiting a good unique experience.

Science North

Let your imagination soar at Science North! Explore the fun side of science in your everyday life at Northern Ontario's most popular tourist attraction. A newly designed and renovated 3rd floor Northern Ecosystems exhibit gets you up close to our resident beaver, porcupine, skunk and much more! Visit the new nocturnal room and see what flying squirrels and bats do at night! Don't miss live science shows, special exhibits, IMAX(R) 3D, the digital Planetarium, the F. Jean MacLeod Butterfly Gallery, and four floors of interactive science experiences.

Reviewed By taniah614 - Pretoria, South Africa

This was well worth the drive out from the Soo. The museum is interactive and fun for the whole family. This place topped our list of favourite science museums. Many of the exhibits are easy for younger kids to operate themselves. Our kids are 7,10 and 12. Perfect ages as they can read instructions and explore the displays themselves and so could we. The various levels space out people on the various floors and there was only one activity in the whole place that we could not get to because it was busy. Otherwise we saw everything! We arrived at 11 and left at 6pm! Got the day pass that included planetarium and Imax...well worth it and it gives you a few mintues to relax . It is a busy funfilled day. The blue coats are engaging and encourage the kids to participate, knowledagble and help to create a fun buzz.The Energy and flying squirrels demos were fantastic! Keep a look out for the beaver, porcurine and snapping turtle (especially when the blue coats take them outside)

Killbear Provincial Park

Reviewed By Andy206B - Collingwood, Canada

One of the downsides of sailing around Georgian Bay is that it is sometimes difficult to find shore activities both for pleasure and also for exercise. Killbear provides both. There are several 'hikes' or 'walks', given they are not strenuous. One day we even managed to walk for some 12k kms. The Visitor centre is very informative and well designed. The anchorage itself has great holding and protection from most wind directions though it can get a little noisy with campers' dogs barking, PWC traffic etc.

Massasauga Provincial Park

Reviewed By Pike53 - Mississauga, Canada

Our site offered very scenic views and in general it was quiet—however, from time to time we were disturbed by noisy boats and especially very raucous jet skis, which is one of the very few drawbacks, especially if you’re camping on Blackstone Harbour near the channel. The weather was excellent, yet there were still active black flies and mosquitoes. Blackstone Harbour wasn’t a good place to fish—we saw plenty of fishing boats around our campsite, fishermen were trolling or casting—and hardly ever catching anything big enough to keep. Rocks, and especially wet moss, can be very slippery—even if you’ve got good boots/shoes, you may still fall. The campsite was clean, picturesque and very spacious. I was very glad that there was a food storage bin on the campsite. Be careful when you close it, you might hurt your fingers as the lid is very heavy. Overall it’s a great park.

Canadian Polar Bear Habitat

There is no other place in the world like the Canadian Polar Bear Habitat. It offers the most space in the world for polar bears in human care, all while providing unique research opportunities for polar bear specialists. The Habitat is currently home to Ganuk, Henry, Inukshuk, and Eddy, who could not survive without human help. These four bears have 24 acres of pristine, subarctic and boreal terrain to roam, including a 10-acre lake. The best time to see the bears is usually in the mornings when they are at their most active. Since the bears have as much control over their environment as possible, they choose when and where to eat, swim, sleep, or explore. You may have to be patient to get the best views, but they’re worth it. The Habitat offers daily talks with Animal Care Staff to provide guests a chance to speak one-on-one with the people who take care of the bears. While you-re on-campus, check out the Heritage Village (seasonal), the Snowmobile Museum, and the Gift Shop.

Saw the bears being fed and playing with enrichment toys. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and answered all our questions. Cute little village with antiques as well. Learned a lot! Worth the drive.
