Lake Muskoka is my favourite place. Many childhood memories were created here and I still see this lake daily. I try to get out on the lake as often as possible in the boat, paddleboard or even aboard one of the great ships cruising out of the Muskoka Wharf. Definitely a treasure and should be protected for futures generations to enjoy!

We are the oldest continuing operating Drive In theatre in all of Canada having opened in 1952. We are unlike any other Drive In experience in the country. Nestled among many indigenous trees like pine and birch, we are unique in that we have a cement movie screen that as built on top of a giant rock that is located on the theatre property. But just not any rock, the screen was built upon Canadian Shield Granite Rock! We have a kid's playground with many of the original play equipment including a giant sand pit filled with toys. We still play cartoons to start the night, vintage intermission snack bar clips and do draws for prizes every night we are open. We are still the ultimate Drive In experience filled with fun, families and nostalgia!

We frequent this Drive-In all summer long. Some of the friendliest staff we have ever met. Was happy to be let in with our RV(at no extra charge for the night). The screen is bright and the snack bar has a great BBQ. The classic animations for the intermission always make us smile. Crank up the sound, it's always clear!

Welcome to the one-of-a-kind Muskoka Discovery Centre where Muskoka’s steamship, wooden boat and grand resort legacy is honoured. Interactive play for families is available in KidZone. See the amazing new 'Watershed Wonders' exhibit with its spectacular 96' touchscreen virtual aquarium and many other interactive displays!

So many things were great - from informative videos to interesting artifacts and educational pieces. A real step back in time. Bonus water dock with several beautiful antique wooden boats. A must-visit for any boater and/or history buff. Probably not worth taking children under 6.
4. Muskoka Steamships

Nothing says Muskoka like discovery. Hop aboard the amazing Royal Mail Ship Segwun, North America’s oldest operating steamship, or take a trip on Wenonah II with all its modern conveniences. Celebrate your wedding, birthday, anniversary, or any other special event with us with the beautiful backdrop of the Muskoka Lakes. It’s the one-of-a-kind way to experience Muskoka!

A great way to learn some of the rich local history from the entertaining commentary, and to view the vibrant fall colours. All necessary covid precautions were carefully enforced with plenty of space for everyone on the very comfortable Wenonah ll. The boat crew was extremely friendly and courteous. A must for anyone coming up to this area.

This was a fascinating visit. I had known of Dr. Norman Bethune through my father, a Canadian surgeon. The museum has been thoughtfully assembled and thoroughly researched.

This is a beautiful park with a lovely view of Gull Lake. But watch out for those gulls. We were eating a snack on a bench there when a gull swooped in and nicked my finger trying to steel my food. The Music on the Barge Summer Concerts on Sundays there can't be beat!
