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)

This is a very nice side trip from Sudbury. Started from AY Jackson Lookout and took the trail to the bridge. Please note that the first part of the trail is VERY rocky and you need appropriate footwear. Sometimes it is hard to navigate along the rocks so be very careful. After the rocky descent from the lookout, it is a nice walk along the water with great views, up to the bridge.

What an amazing transformation a few decades makes. This beautiful area used to be practically barren. We did the 10 k Laurentian Loop and it had a great variety of terrain and ecosystems. We spent most of the walk grazing on blueberries. Lots of granite domes and forest sections. Sometimes by the lakes, including an incredible beaver dam that raised a good sized lake by 6 feet. Also stand on an overlook at the southern extreme of the Sudbury basin and look North to Sudbury and south almost to Killarney Park. One of my favourite hikes in Northern Ontario.
