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.

We were fortunate to get a table right by the window.. the revolving restaurant has great views of the city as you are slowly moving... the coolest is to watch the flights taking off and landing into Billy Bishop airport.

Interesting place it’s been here for years and was and always a treat to stop and get some good views of the thousand Islands area. Elevator ride to the top was pleasant and very fast. I remember this place is a kid I enjoyed it done and I enjoy it now some 50 years later. John on the observation deck very helpful and knowledgeable one different areas to look at and history of different things in the area. He mentioned some other places that we should check out while we are in the area and we are grateful for his suggestions we had a great time at the first railway tunnel in Canada up in Brockville. definitely worth a stop and we look forward to another visit some other time.

War Memorial Carillon Tower

Reviewed By CarolynW939 - Simcoe, Canada

My husband and I have attended the Nov 11 parade and service at the Simcoe Carillon War Memorial many times. We've also enjoyed the music on a summer evening, and especially at Christmas. The history of the Carillon structure, the plaques commemorating those lost in war is reverent. The volunteers who play the bells during the Panorama Lights Christmas season are truly a local treasure.
