The Orillia Museum of Art & History (OMAH) is a hub of culture and heritage located down in the heart of Orillia's Peter Street Arts District. The clock tower of our Sir Samuel Steele Memorial Building is a beacon for our historical location. For ten years OMAH has been inspiring creativity and celebrating history, growing as a hub for local artists and historians.
A complete surprise in terms of the exhibits offering both excellently curated major artists and features of current and local young artists. Easy to navigate (accessible...I noticed there was an elevator) and a wonderful gift shop. Well worth the visit!

Worth your while but try to spend a bit of time exploring the many and varied displays. Much of the museum is self-directed; surprises and stories in a host of drawers, if you care to investigate.

Scales is a nature centre and park focused on the conservation of Canadian reptiles and amphibians. Our centre features the most complete live collection of these creatures in the country. Visitors can touch and hold some reptiles, with help from our staff and volunteers. It's great for rainy days! Group bookings for birthday parties, schools, camps, scouts/guides, and others are possible, and our outreach programs travel to similar venues across the province. The park features 3.5 km of nature trails through a variety of natural habitats. Pets are not allowed on the trails or in the centre. Our newest addition is Reptile Camp, a day camp program for kids! Please realize that this is a working conservation facility. We conduct research and stewardship projects locally, and around the province. You may encounter research technicians, field equipment, etc. Current local projects involve 6 turtle species, massasauga rattlesnakes, and chorus frogs. Ask how you can get involved!

We attended an environmentally friendly ecological storytelling event hosted by Lakehead professors are writers sharing a variety of perspectives on environmental issues and climate change. Swanmore Hall is the ideal environment for reasonably small gatherings 75 people. The view of the lake on a winter’s day was particularly appropriate for the topic. We love Swanmore Hall - for many reasons. It is our favourite part of the Leacock premises.
