North Bay tourist information
North Bay Ontario
North Bay and area is a splendour of scenery and attractions. North Bay welcomes everyone to come see the many attractions that are hosted by this area. For starters, how about a five star attraction? The Dionne Museum features the five biggest stars of the world from the 1930s, the Dionne Quintuplets, along with all kinds of other fascinating historical exhibits, displays and artifacts. Plus there's a Travel Information Centre right next door to fill you in on everything from room prices to pizza slices.
Next (or perhaps first) you must visit the North Bay Waterfront. Ah, the waterfront! Here you can stroll along the shore of Lake Nipissing or relax on the beach. Listen to a free concert regularly put on during the summer by local musicians. Prefer to get moving? Then bike or rollerblade on the new Kate Pace Way, named after North Bay's gold medal-winning downhill skier. You may even see Kate! Take a ride on the Heritage Railway Company's Mini-Train and experience the new Heritage Carousel. The 24 passenger train takes you on a 2.5km ride along the city's waterfront.
North Bay's Waterfront is home to special events including Canada Day Celebrations on July 1 and the Heritage Festival and Airshow on the Civic Holiday Weekend in early August.
It's at the waterfront that you'll also find the Chief Commanda II, a twin-hull boat that offers a choice of cruises on picturesque Lake Nipissing or the Chief Commanda I restaurant which offers you a great sunset setting while you enjoy a sumptuous dinner.
The Capitol Centre offers only the very best in world wide acts, performances, and exhibits. Be sure to keep an eye on their performance calendar which offers you a wide variety of options, whether your interest lies in Broadway productions, today's top recording stars, something for the kids, or all-time favorite holiday fare. The W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery is the perfect exhibit gallery for those who enjoy various forms of art. Located in the heart of the city, the Capitol Centre is sure to be on your list of "must see" attractions in the city.
A new attraction is quickly growing in North Bay and tickets are selling out fast. With the advent of the Nipissing Stage Company, summer theatre has taken off locally as an ideal evening entertainment.
And there are so many more things for you to experience and exlore in North Bay. Not the least of which is hiking up the trails from Duchesnay Falls to the College Education Centre, home to Canadore College and Nipissing University.
For those who prefer to enjoy the sights and history of the area without the task of finding their way around, there are many outdoor tour groups to provide you with competent guides and comfortable transportation as they lead you on a historical tour of the area. The North Bay Area Museum features a wide range of exhibits on local history as well as special exhibitions from the Royal Ontario Museum and other national and provincial museums.
