Barrie

The staff at the Barrie Visitor Information Centre will help you plan your Barrie adventure and share insider tips on the best places to eat, stay and play—tailored to you and your family.

Located on Kempenfelt Bay on Lake Simcoe, Barrie is where year-round outdoor recreation meets urban sophistication. Downtown Barrie is just steps from the waterfront, while Centennial Beach is your launch point for swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and boating. Beyond the shoreline, hundreds of kilometres of hiking and cycling trails invite you to reconnect with nature.

Barrie is where winter fun begins, surrounded by four of Ontario’s top ski resorts. After a day on the slopes, return to Barrie for a lively après-ski experience, a great meal and a comfortable place to rest your head to be ready for the next day’s adventure.

Downtown Barrie is home to unique, chef-owned restaurants that will delight your taste buds, along with Barrie-brewed craft beer and one-of-a-kind cocktails. Enjoy an energetic night out with live music and entertainment, or slow things down with a live theatre production or symphony performance.

The adventures continue indoors with escape rooms, rage rooms, arcades, billiards, rock climbing, bowling and family-friendly laser tag—giving everyone something fun to discover, whatever the weather.
