I lived in Simcoe County for more than 25 years so if you’re planning a trip or need ideas, you’re in for more than just pretty views in Simcoe because it’s a place where history, nature, and family fun all meet. This list pulls together 20 of the best spots to explore, from lively family attractions like Blue Mountain and Elmvale Jungle Zoo to meaningful historical sites like Sainte-Marie among the Hurons and Discovery Harbour. You’ll also find plenty of outdoor escapes, whether it’s hiking the forest trails of Copeland, birdwatching at Tiny Marsh, or unwinding by the water at Centennial Beach in Barrie. And because the most memorable adventures are often the unexpected ones, I’ve added a few hidden gems, too. Think Coldwater’s heritage museum or the colorful murals that tell Midland’s story. Whether you’re going for a weekend or a whole season, this list will help you see the heart of Simcoe County in a way that feels easy and unforgettable.
