"The kids loved both Dynamic Earth and Science North.  We could have spent a whole day or more at both places."


media img5So much to do!

For 20 years, my travels to Sudbury, through Sudbury, and enjoying all the city has to offer have enriched my life, and will yours! There's so much to do! Stop at Science North or Dynamic Earth. You'll learn so much about Sudbury's history. What I love are the big box stores, the bargains and the fine restaurants (Respect Is Burning, The Apollo, Verdicchio's) all so close to golf courses, kayaking and canoeing. It's lovely, friendly, and can even be elegant here!

ont sudbury science.int goh iromoto-20Fabulous time at Science North!

"I spent 8 hours at Science North on Saturday and was again blown away by what they do there. Our children LOVE it and are already planning their next trip back. It was the highlight of their trip!  I'm not sure how Science North trains their blue coats, but they are the best example of engaged young people that I have seen. They are not afraid to deal with the public in a professional and knowledge based way which is generally a challenge with this age group.  At the same time, the content (especially on the 4th floor) was enough to keep us engaged for the full day and is amazingly hands on fun with learning snuck in.  We tell everyone we know with children to go to Science North and after Saturday's visit we'll definitely continue!"

hotel testimonialsThe staff was exceptional!

"The staff at the hotel were exceptional and the staff at the visitor centre were very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a wonderful time and we look forward to returning sometime in the near future."

sunrise Sudbury is a beautiful city!

"I forgot how beautiful Northern Ontario is. My family and I found that Sudbury was also a beautiful city and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Science North is an awesome place. We spent the entire day there! We have travelled to Europe and the East Coast during the last 2 summers, but my children said that this was the best vacation they had. We will come back in the future to see what else Sudbury has to offer".

bistroGreat service!

“We truly enjoyed our stay. The service was great and we have highly recommended this to all our friends.”

blast Dynamic Earth was great!

“We enjoyed Sudbury. Our children had a fabulous time at Science North and were excited to keep going back the three days that we had scheduled. Dynamic Earth was great to see, the underground tour being a memory and learning experience that we will not forget. Dining and shopping were great and we were able to find a local go-cart track to laugh together with, and a dinosaur mini-golf that was a great enjoyment.”
