Ontario is a hot tourist destination, with something for every age, income level, taste & interest. Some of Ontario’s highlights are Toronto, one of the most popular cities in North America, the Muskoka Lakes Region, recognized by National Geographic Traveler as one of the best places to visit in the world, and of course, Niagara Falls. But even though those are some of the best known, they are only a small slice of all Ontario has to offer, and you probably don’t have a clue just how much there actually is here!

That’s why Summer Fun Guide features thousands of things to do and places to stay across the province.
