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.

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)

Cup and Saucer Trail

Reviewed By ian24241964 - Toronto, Canada

Great walk and beautiful view. The path is wide open with very few tricky spots for the walk. 4 or 5 great views from the top overlooking the whole north side of the island.

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.

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.

Duchesnay Falls Trails

Reviewed By cruisefan1950 - Strathroy, Canada

My wife and I visited North Bay in July 2020 and were looking for things to do when so many attractions were closed due to Covid-19. We decided to visit Duchesnay Falls, a short drive outside of the city, and were very impressed with the area. The trails are well marked and you definitely get some exercise climbing from one level of the falls to the next one. It was a hot day, but fortunately the whole area is well shaded. We definitely recommend visiting this area.
