Attractions

From stunning outdoor settings to immersive indoor experiences, the Soo offers attractions you won’t want to miss. Step back in time at the Ermatinger Clergue National Historic Site, learn about Canada’s aviation and firefighting history at the Bushplane Museum, or explore the historic Sault Canal with Parks Canada. Ride the rails into breathtaking northern scenery on the Agawa Canyon Train Tour, and discover original works by the Group of Seven at the Art Gallery of Algoma.

Hop aboard one of North America’s most popular train excursions — a ten-hour round trip deep into the Algoma wilderness. Running from August through mid-October, this iconic train tour takes you 114 miles north through granite cliffs, lush forests, and over towering trestles. At Agawa Canyon Park, stretch your legs, explore lookout trails or picnic beside Bridal Veil Falls.

Explore the Soo from the water with this scenic boat tour along the St. Marys River. The Miss Marie departs from the Roberta Bondar Marina and cruises past waterfront landmarks on both the Canadian and U.S. sides — including the towering locks and historic structures of the Soo Locks system. It’s a great way to take in city views, sunsets, and ship traffic. You can even enjoy special events or book a private event aboard he tour boat.

See a world-class collection of classic bushplanes and interactive exhibits at this historic hangar that celebrate Ontario’s bush flying and forest fire fighting legacy. The Bushplane Museum is a family-friendly spot that mixes aviation history with hands-on exploration — including a flight simulator and a 3D Wildfire Theatre experience. It’s also home to Entomica Insectarium, where curious minds can meet live bugs up close.

Discover the Soo’s role in Canadian transportation history at this beautiful waterfront site. Once home to the world’s longest lock, the Sault Canal is now a tranquil place to explore on foot or by kayak. Learn about its engineering and stories, stroll across the lock gates, and enjoy views of passing ships, the International Bridge, and the flowing rapids.

Go back in time with a visit to this restored heritage site featuring the Ermatinger Old Stone House — one of the oldest stone buildings northwest of Toronto. Tour historic rooms, explore the Clergue Blockhouse, and get a feel for early life in the region. Seasonal events, reenactments, and educational displays bring Sault Ste. Marie’s past to life.

This gallery features rotating exhibits of Canadian and international art — including works by members of the Group of Seven, who famously painted the surrounding landscapes. In addition to paintings and sculptures, the gallery hosts workshops, community events, and a peaceful sculpture garden along the St. Marys River. A must-visit for art lovers and creative minds.

Located in a grand old post office downtown, the Museum offers three floors of exhibits exploring the city's diverse stories — from early Indigenous history and industrial growth to pop culture and local sports heroes. Discover artifacts, archives, and special exhibits that connect the Soo’s past with its present. Great for visitors and locals alike.

Discover a vibrant year‑round hub with a winter ice skating pad, outdoor movies, live music, Soo Market, and special events like Pizzafest, Poutine Feast, sports screenings, and NYE Puck Drop.
