TRIP IDEAS Sudbury was founded as a nickel-mining town in 1883. Today, it’s grown into the largest city in Northern Ontario with a cosmopolitan urban core, surrounded by many smaller communities, 300 lakes and seemingly endless natural wonders. DAY 1 – SCIENCE AND THE CITY 1 SCIENCE NORTH The first stop on your two-day tour is one of Northern Ontario’s most popular tourist destinations—Science North. You can literally spend all day here and not run out of things to do. There’s a 3D IMAX, Planetarium, Vale Cavern, Nature Exchange, Butterfly Gallery—and that’s just for starters. 2 JIM GORDON WALKWAY 1 2 It’s hard to pry yourself away from the fantastic exhibits at Science North, but when you’re ready, head out to the Jim Gordon Boardwalk.
