Situated in the original 1920' seaplane hangars at the St. Mary's river, the museum is a great glimpse into what goes into accessing and exploring the Canadian North, even today. I specifically want to point out the hands-on approach in the museum. Planes and other exhibits are not cordoned off asking visitors to stay away. You are encouraged to climb into planes, to get a feel for what it is like and to have a real experience. Well done! I would plan an hour and a half to go through.

I would have to say that for any hockey game, venue, or concert I have attended and sat in many different seats and all are great. This place is great for hockey games watching with amazing crowds all around, polite helpful and friendly staff and the cleanliness of the place is very kept up. I think I may have been the first person to attend a game with an electronic ticket on my cell phone and instead of turning me away not mowing what it was the door staff was very helpful as to gaining knowledge on this type of ticket quickly then allowing me to enter. Thanks and keep up the good work. Also if looking for a place to walk around in the rain or winter months or just to hot outside, try out this place as they allow people in on none concert and game days

During a recent stay in Aug 2017-my family went to Bellevue Park!!! As a child my parents always brought me to this park when we visited our family in the Soo! I wanted to pass on and share a tradition with my sons and hubby-feeding the geese and ducks-lol!! Always a fun experience for all and since my childhood they have like 4-5 play structures for children to utilize and have fun with! Back in the Day they used to have a Zoo on the premises but it is now a flower/garden conservatory area! All in all I love the location of this park and did not get to fully enjoy all of its beauty as we stayed by the play equipment! The paths along the river and through the park looked well groomed and next time for sure we will have to explore a little more!! Definitely worth a visit for all ages!!!

Sail your boat through the lock at the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, or do your exploring of this fascinating site on foot. Learn how this Canal – once boasting the longest lock in the world and the first one powered by electricity – allowed ships, and now pleasure craft, to bypass the rapids caused by a change in elevation in the St. Marys River. Free entry to our Visitor Centre, gift shop, washrooms, parking, walking and biking trails. Fat Bikes available for hourly rental. Full guided site tours available for a small fee.
