Ontario Attractions

Ontario is Canada’s second-largest and most populous province, home to two capital cities: Ottawa, the national capital, and Toronto, the provincial capital. Ontario is a jumping-off point for trips to Lake Superior, the world’s largest freshwater lake, Niagara Falls, and the Polar Bear Park north of the Arctic Circle.
