With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Sudbury, 17 miles away, has to offer. Science North, New Sudbury Centre and Sudbury Theatre Centre alone make the drive out worthwhile. North Bay is another great option. It’s 60 miles away and offers tons of interesting things to do. North Bay Memorial Gardens, Capitol Centre and Discovery North Bay are just the start.
