I love Orillia, I'm moving there to go to college. If you want to see the 3r's in a town come farther north to Huntville, Emsale, etc.
Lots of stuff to see in Ottawa, but the city basically shuts down at 9:00 PM. Go to Montreal for the night.
I think Orillia is full of the 3 r's - the rich, the retarded and the retired.
Algonquin Park is the best place to get out and get lost in the lap of the Mother Nature.
If you go to Niagara Falls and like beaches, be sure to go to Sherkston Shores.
Niagara Falls is very touristy, and there's not much to see asides from the main tourist strip. If you want to see the Falls, just one night, or even a day trip from Toronto is generally enough to get your fix of this place. There's the huge waterfall (you can take the Maid of the Mist boat right up close), and Clifton Hill which features numerous haunted houses, a Ripley's Believe it Or Not Mueseum, and a big arcade, amoung other things. The weather is generally very nice in the summer.
Wow! Algonquin Park is the best place to eat sleep party and play!!! If you ever get into some hard core camping, with serious scenery, go to Algonquin, it's worth the drive!
Sault Ste. Marie … There is nothing to do in Sault St. Marie if you are only stopping for 1 day!
Deep River … It's amazing there. The people are so nice and the town is beautiful. I highly recommend stopping there for the night, plus it's a short walk away from a Tim Hortons, Burger King, and Subway all on the Trans-Can.
Sault Ste. Marie … This past winter we visited Sault St. Marie and went on a carriage ride through the woods, it was so romantic!
