    Learned so much on our mine tour! Our guide Keira was super; knowledgeable, enthusiastic, well spoken and an excellent ambassador for the Museum.

    Stopped in here today, just to kill a couple hours, really enjoyed ourselves. Honestly, they have a bit of everything for all ages too. The train museum of course, mix of some indoor displays and some outdoor locomotives and rolling stock. Plus, a lot of railroad memorabilia and history from this part of Ontario. They also had a bunch of artifacts from logging and mining, including some fairly unique railroad items. Also an outdoor children’s train themed large play area and some attractive horticultural gardens. Then, down the road, included with your ticket, is the old firehall with historic displays, upstairs some cultural and sports memorabilia from the area and the basement had some beautiful operating model railroads. So, some of everything for everyone.

    We enjoyed a couple of hours browsing and being advised by the knowledgeable staff. I particularly wanted crime / mystery by a local author and left with a Giles Blunt novel. My son also had great advice and discovered a few new authors, but the proof of the quality of the service only became apparent after we left.

    A few hours later we got a call from the reception in our hotel asking if we had been to Bay Used Books. Apparently I had bought the third book in the Giles Blunt series, and they called around several hotels on the South Side looking for a Scottish family to let me know that they had the first book in the series and I could swap if I wanted. Unbelievable, but true.

    Me and my boyfriend didn't know what to expect when visiting Northern Exotics, but we were pleasantly surprised during our visit! There were many different types of exotic animals to look at. Ryder was super helpful and knowledgable about all of the species of animals and even took out a couple for us to see! I've seen some comments about the enclosures of these animals, but after hearing their stories of how most of them ended up here, I can say they are definitely better off here and taken care of much better.

    We, a family of 4 from Ottawa, had dinner here on Saturday, August 1, 2020. Very personable service and good quality food. In fact, the onion rings were the best we have ever tasted! We were left wondering why the tables were not all full!

    We recently attended the viewing of Johnny Cash. This is agreat date night activity. We went for dinner and went to the theatre. They have a comfortable lounge to have a cocktail on arrival and during intermission. The staff are courteous and very helpful.

    It was a great place and clean and staff was friendly we where a group of 6 kids from age 7 to 11 everything was good the only problem we had was with the helmets on the zip line they need to be cleaned ever time someone used it especially with the amount of kids and head lice is one of the biggest thing that can be transferred they really should be cleaned or have the hair covers like other places have for the helmets

    Nice place to spend a few hours, friendly staff. We were given a $10 voucher from our hotel and got a free lottario ticket from the casino. Would definitely go again.

    Came to this arena to watch the Sudbury Wolves as a fan of the opposing team. I received the usual chirping and heckling from the home team fans as would be expected in any arena, which was all in good fun. Nothing ever crossed the line I'd say. YMMV if you're a fan of a division rival though, as with all teams.

    I was just barely able to get parking across the arena an hour before puck drop. $5 to park there, not sure about how many other places are available so please plan ahead.

    I probably won't make the trip again due to it being several hours away from home one-way, but good arena nevertheless! Cannot go wrong with hockey in Canada, and the tickets are reasonably priced for Major Junior hockey.
