Onaping Falls

Onaping Falls, Sudbury

Science

Dynamic Earth

Dynamic Earth, Sudbury

 Babzz Says:  This museum was a lot of fun and worth the stop in Sudbury for a couple hours. It’s a bit expensive, but includes: a film (various topics-ours was about gold), an animated play about the history of Sudbury (very interesting), a tour of a display mine where you see how mining... 

Can't miss

Can't miss, Sudbury

 tang-bailey Says:  Seeing the slap being dumped from the mines is something like you'll never see anywhere else. It looks like lava flowing out of a volcano.This is something that you can only see once a week at night.See the pour herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbDb0F1ij1A 

Dynamic Earth

Dynamic Earth, Sudbury

 yooperprof Says:  "Dynamic Earth" is a rather peculiar name for the facility that operates the tours a Sudbury Nickel Mine, but which is probably more famous as the home of "The Big Nickel" - the largest freestanding nickel coin in the world!I love this tradition of "Big Roadside Attractions"... 

A memorial for the roots of Sudbury

A memorial for the roots of Sudbury, Sudbury

 Faiza-Ifrah Says:  Within the Ramsey lake park, we discovered a sculpture paying homage to the mine workers of Sudbury. Caste in metal, it depicts the mining roots of the city.

Gloria's: Local homestyle breakfast spot

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

oldguy472003 12 reviews

The best breakfast in Sudbury. A small family owned and operated spot, famous for simple fare, & generous portions, cooked the way you like it. This little gem gets very busy on weekends, but you'll always get a table after a bit of a wait. Service is quick and friendly. Generally you seat yourself unless there's a crowd standing inside the door in which case Brenda will be manageing the lineup.
I've had breakfast here almost every Saturday for 10 years..
Just remember, don't plan to read a paper after you are done as there are probably some other folks who would like your table.

Favorite Dish: Eggs over medium with Peameal bacon, homefries with onions and Rye toast.
Toasted Denver on Rye.
Hot hamburger sandwich.

Taxi Services

Taxi Services, Sudbury

 Amie_Sarah_ Says:  The taxi drivers in Sudbury are usually really nice. Especially if you are on youre way to or from a bar. Not to expensive either but I usually tip them well because they are so nice and will let you talk to the dispatcher on the CB radio and some mildly illegal things.

Elgin St., Sudbury

 Amie_Sarah_ Says:  This isnt really a warning because its not really a problem here. However, Elgin St is where the homeless and prostitutes are found (for the most part). Elgin is where the soup kitchens are so this is a popular area of town for people who don't have regular meals. If you...

While hiking alongside the major road (but remaining within the...
