Algonquin Visitor Centre
The park's main visitor centre beside Highway 60, with natural history exhibits, a wetland viewing platform, a bookstore and a restaurant.
Located about 43 km along Highway 60, the exhibit hall uses life-size models to present the park's geology, plants, animals and human history. The observation deck behind it overlooks the Sunday Creek wetland and forest, where you often spot moose or birds. The centre has a bookstore, a restaurant and a board with the latest animal sightings. In summer, the park's Wolf Howl Night Program departs from nearby, offering an experience unique to Algonquin.
