Welcome to Summer Fun Guide 2014!
When we first began to research Summer Fun Guide, we had NO IDEA how many incredible
things to do, areas to explore and places to stay there were in Ontario. We were surprised at
the number of fascinating places we didn't know existed and excited by all the fun activities
we wanted to try.
We have gathered over 1000 of those attractions, events, activities & accommodations here,
and there are others on our website, so if you are looking for a family vacation, a romantic
overnight, a girlfriend getaway, or just something fun to do on a Sunday afternoon, we know
that there are loads of options that will make you say "Let's do that!"
The book is divided into 7 geographic regions, each with 16 categories, offering ideas for all
ages & interests. We've been surrounded by free-flying butterflies, cruised the 1000 Islands &
swum in Canada's largest freshwater pool. Have you? Join us as we zipline through the forest
or go whitewater rafting on the Ottawa River! Bring your family to pick fruit at a farm or spend
a sunny day at one of Ontario's many stunning beaches, National Parks or hiking trails. And
don't forget to explore our fascinating historic sites.
If you're in need of somewhere to stay, you'll find resorts, hotels, fishing lodges, campgrounds,
affordable suites and relaxing spas all listed here. Explore the region, enjoy the activities and
don't forget about all the wonderful Music, Cultural, Theatre & Food festivals happening
around the province. Check the SFG Event Calendar online for a full list of what's going on
where.
How do companies get listed? We offer listings for free ­ our goal is to make this guide com-
prehensive. Some companies choose to expand their visibility with an ad. When you find a
company through Summer Fun Guide, please tell them you saw them here.
We love hearing from you. Drop us a line with your comments or suggestions. We take
readers' suggestions seriously and make changes based on what YOU want to see.
Thanks to all who participated this year. And, of course, we are grateful to you ­ our readers ­
for your continued support and encouragement.
Thanks again to our wonderful sponsor and distribution partner, ONroute Service Centres.
Have fun exploring Ontario... and don't forget to check www.SummerFunGuide.ca for more
