Really great stop on the Highway 60 corridor! The exhibit has some great dioramas and some great information on the wildlife and ecology of the park as a whole. There is also a good section on the history of the park, from use by Natives to logging to today that was fascinating. There is a self serve cafe that also is a great place to stop and eat/heat your own food which was really convenient. The small Park Store had great staff and some really good books and other things to help in the park or remember a trip to the park by. Outside there is a small walk up to a mock fire tower with some more information. Overall it was a worthwhile stop for resting, replenishing, learning, and using the washroom before heading out to hike again!
A place with a lot of old history , an amazing animal show room with enough explaination about each one , in some part you can see a short video or listen to a story , also it has a amzing view to a beautiful part of forest and river . A book store and a cafe for a short rest is inside .
The visitor center is amazing!! You do need to have permits to enter, it's also the same for museums, beaches, and trails. The staff was very friendly. The museum was great. They have a little self-serve cafe and a bird watching area. Highly recommended!
A nice stop on our day of exploring. They have to-scale displays of all the wildlife that can be possibly seen in and around Algonquin. The viewing deck is nice, be sure to check that out. Also, a great spot for birdwatching
Stunning views, amazing dioramas of the local wildlife and killer swag at the gift shop.
Well managed, informative and beautiful!

I had a wonderful experience visitor center. The center was not only informative but also beautifully managed. During my visit, the weather was quite chilly outside, so I appreciated the warm and welcoming atmosphere inside the visitor center.

The visitor center provided an excellent respite from the cold weather. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, ready to assist visitors with any questions they had. I was particularly impressed with the information available. The displays and exhibits inside the center provided a comprehensive overview of the park, its history, and the various wildlife and plant species that call it home.

The highlight of my visit was the informative show they had. It gave me a fantastic understanding of the park's history and the diverse range of animals and plant life that can be found within its boundaries. The presentation was engaging and well-structured, making it a great educational experience.

It's not just a place to warm up on a cold day; it's a hub of knowledge and insight into the park's natural beauty. I left with a greater appreciation for the park's history and its unique ecosystem. I highly recommend visiting this visitor center to anyone exploring the Provincial Park.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Visitor Centre in Algonquin Park! The displays were high quality, interactive, informative, and the facts shared were really interesting! We enjoyed the cafe area where we could warm up our lunch we brought with us and you could get a hot beverage for $2.50, reasonable! The views out the back were beautiful and the movie showing in the theatre was excellent...learned alot! Absolutely recommend you stop in as you drive through the park, lots to take part in. The store was excellent too! Loved the iron on patches offered and the maple cookies were stellar! Enjoy it all!
The visiting centre have wifi and cafeteria. Wonderful history display and they have a theatre to show a small videoclips. They also have a activities booklet for kids to read and learn during their visit at the park.
