Amusement park
Santa's Village, located in the picturesque town of Bracebridge, Muskoka, is a delightful Christmas-themed amusement park that has been captivating families for over 60 years. Spanning across 60 acres along the scenic Muskoka River, this enchanting destination offers an array of attractions suitable for both children and adults. Visitors can enjoy thrilling activities like go-karts, mini-golf, zip-lining, and rock-climbing while also taking part in seasonal events such as dog shows and Hawaiian luaus.
It was our first time at Santa Village, and the kids had an absolute blast — and so did the parents! This is truly a must-visit destination for families with young children. Despite the sunny weather, the festive atmosphere and all the rides kept everyone entertained. There’s a great variety of attractions, especially for toddlers, and everything is very family-friendly. The highlight for us was seeing Santa and Mrs. Claus outside, warmly greeting every visitor — such a magical touch! The Yeti Ride was definitely a favorite for our family. We’re already planning to come back in winter to experience the full Christmas vibe. Highly recommended for a magical family outing!

I went to Santa’s Village with my family and honestly, I had never heard of it before. When we arrived, I was really surprised by how much fun it was! The new Yeti roller coaster was a blast — my kids loved it and we went on it many, many times. The whole place has a great family vibe and lots to do for kids of all ages. Just a heads up, there are only a few food stands, so it’s best to plan ahead and line up early for lunch before the crowds. Overall, it was a fantastic family day and we’ll definitely be back!
Norris W — Google review
10 Stars, great place to take the family, likely to be enjoyed by kids under 10 but still great for all, staff at all the rides and venues are super friendly not like most Carneys, only food is extra and a few additional like Elf ID card etc, not constant cash grab , there is a gift shop at entrance/ exit. Food was good, rides were good and Yeti coaster was excellent. Great value for your money, free parking even, went on a Saturday and no wait in any line, absolutely amazing experience. Recommend 100%

We had an amazing time at Santa Village! The natural surroundings are absolutely beautiful — tall trees, fresh air, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it feel like a true getaway from the city. It’s the perfect place for families, especially with young kids. The attractions are really well done and fun for all ages. Our children had a blast exploring all the rides and activities. Everything felt safe, clean, and well-organized. What really stood out to us was the Halloween event — it was magical! The decorations, costumes, and themed activities created such a fun and spooky atmosphere without being too scary for the little ones. It was clear that a lot of thought and effort went into making it special. Santa Village is a fantastic destination for a day trip or weekend adventure with the family. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Spent the day at Santa's Village with the family. An annual trip to Santa's Village is a family tradition and we always look forward to it. The weather was hot today but it didn't bother us at all as we were able to remain cool thanks to the breeze coming off the water and blowing through the trees.That is one of the things I love about Santa's Village, that it is nestled in amongst the trees along the riverside. The rides are great and the natural setting is a beautiful bonus. This visit we were able to test out the new roller-coaster The Yeti! It got two thumbs up from every member of the family except the youngest. We also rode on our family favourite rides like Santa's Summer Sleigh, The train, and the Pepermint Penguin. We decided to give the Yule Log a try for lunch and we're pleasantly surprised. Service was fast and friendly and there was something on the menu to please everyone. Added bonus was the AC and washrooms inside. The highlight of Papa's day was attending Elf School. A fun time was had by all! It is always worth the drive to Bracebridge as every summer needs a bit of Christmas magic!

My wife and I took our daughter. We went this year during the Halloween Spooktacular. She loved the rides had a blast. This is a great family fun park. 2nd time we have gone here, will take her again. Staff was also really friendly. Ohh and got to meet Santa early. Highly recommend for family fun

Fantastic Halloween visit at Santa’s Village—festive, friendly, and perfectly not‑too‑scary for kids. The Pumpkin in the Pines trail, cheerful inflatables, and riverside photo spots made it feel truly magical, and staff kept lines moving and areas spotless. Big thumbs up for the new Yeti Trek coaster: smooth, zippy, and just the right dose of thrills for families without being intimidating. Five stars for a well‑run, memory‑making fall day—we’ll be back!
Eric H — Google review
We stopped here on our way to Huntsville and had such a great time! I visited as a kid, but it was even better coming back with my family. Our daughter loved every part of the day—especially the elf training! The rides were a lot of fun for the whole family, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The lines weren’t too bad, and we were pleasantly surprised that the food and ice cream were very reasonably priced. The Yeti Trek Rollercoaster is definitely a must-do! We’ll most likely be back again next summer for another fun visit.

Brewery
Food & Drink
Muskoka Brewery, established in 1996, is a renowned craft beer producer offering free daily tours. Visitors can explore the brewing process, visit the lab to ensure quality standards, and sample beers in the taproom. Located in Bracebridge, Ontario, it's a popular spot for beer enthusiasts. The brewery is known for its cream ale and Detour IPA.
Muskoka Brewery is a legend. There's no denying its influence or that of its well known Mad Tom line of IPAs. However, their Festbier, a German Oktoberfest amber lager is out-of-this-world! Darker than expected for a lager (that would be the amber part of its parentage) the festbier is full-bodied, leaning more heavily towards the malty characteristics of an amber than a lager. The Winter Beard nitro stout is that rare creature -- a light, creamy, almost effervescent stout that bubbles with life without being too sweet.
Sanjeewa A — Google review
Muskoka Brewery is a great stop if you’re in the area. They’ve got a solid selection of drinks to choose from, whether you're into craft beer or just trying something new. The place has a relaxed, vacation-y vibe — perfect for a casual afternoon. They also have some really cute merch and even a few fun, fragrant hand soaps that caught my attention. All in all, it’s a cozy, welcoming spot that fits right in with the laid-back Muskoka feel. And don’t forget to play a quick round of cornhole while you’re there P.S. — the images isn’t of the brewery itself, it’s from the Muskoka cruise — just wanted to share the overall feel of the place!

A remarkable beer shop and brewery in Muskoka. They sell various beer with different flavours and they also have beer that is almost zero alcohol for young adult to drink with parental guidance.

Detour ISA it’s the best Canadian beer. It’s just perfect. One the best beer recipe around the world. Should be sold everywhere not only in Canada, other countries should know what’s this guy do.

Was a fantastic stop on our way to Algonquin! Awesome beer selection and a cozy, welcoming vibe. The tall guy behind the bar was on another level. I accidentally ordered the wrong drink, and he immediately offered to replace it without any hesitation. I tried the beer flight with the bartender’s choice, and you could tell he really put thought into the selection. It really made my day after a long drive from Waterloo.
Kenneth C — Google review
I like the IPAs from Muskoka Brewery. We had two flights, the IPA and the Adventurer. The Pineapple Ninja is very fruity. Love the Hazed, juicy IPA. However, I favourite is the Nitro Latte, the foam is very creamy and actually tasted like coffee. They don’t have much food options there as the food truck isn’t there, so we had to settle for the pretzel with beer dip. I feel like the pretzel was just heated up by a microwave, and it is very tasty with all the salt sprinkled on top, the dip is also very salty, maybe they want you to consume more beer that way. However, with the pretty and dip at $17, I really would recommend people to stay away from it.

Muskoka Drive-In

4.7
(450)
Drive-in movie theater
Muskoka Drive-In is a classic cash-only drive-in theater located just outside Gravenhurst, northeast of the town near Highway 11. It has been a local staple since 1952 and offers two screens with different movie options for both adults and kids. The venue also features a playground, clean bathrooms, and a grill serving burgers and other snacks on weekends during the summer.
Do you remember what it was like to go to the drive-in when you were younger? The experience of it? This place is on a very short list of the drive-in movies left in Ontario, and it is a bastion of nostalgia. The operator here was friendly and down to earth. Told us all about how he gets new movies for the season, while we waited for some food to be made right off of a barbecue. And when our vehicle's battery died from me not knowing what to turn off while we used the radio and the wipers during the show, he was very kind in helping us with a boost. Places like this are becoming rarer and rarer in my experience. I recommend going, and then going again to make sure it stays open.

What a great set up. Friendly staff. Organized. We had a great time. Well worth the 2 hour trek! Kids enjoyed the movie, games and concession stand. We will be back! Thanks for having us 🤍

Super fun place to go with people of all ages-I went with friends and their kids and we all had a great time. They have a restroom and a good concession stand with lots of hot and cold options. There is also a playground. The popcorn, without the extra topping, is dairy free for those with an allergy like me. Highly recommend, it was a great experience for everyone.
Nicole P — Google review
Went for the first time with the hubby for a date night. We found out it is the oldest continuously running drive-In (73 years!), so for anyone expecting modern-day amenities, the bar will be too high for you here. $60 got us 2 cheeseburgers, 2 hot dogs, 2 popcorn, 2 drinks, and some licorice. (Yes, we were hungry) PS The burgers and hot dogs were made on the barbecue, which is a nice change to a typical flat top fry and the heated rows of rolling dogs. It was small and charming, and brought me back to when I was a child and the exciting nights with the family at the drive-in. It is rough around the edges, but for 73 years old it still provides the entertainment and the nostalgic throwback we were looking for.
Jennifer N — Google review
Love having date night here. Fiancée and I saw two great movies, won a few duckies and had some great snacks! You honestly can’t beat the price especially on car load night and $1 hot dogs. Very essence of the Muskoka community right here. Cannot wait to be a regular this summer
Shinara N — Google review
Such a fun date night! So nice to see a film in the comfort of your own car & it was 2 movies for the price of one! We laughed, we ate popcorn, stargazed between screenings, and enjoyed all the friendly staff. Highly recommend visiting this drive-inn, and don’t skip getting snacks at the concession! Enjoyed the popcorn seasonings flavours and it came is a super cute retro bucket 🍿 Reasonable pricing and a great way to spend the night. They even had jumbo freezies.
Torey H — Google review
We enjoyed our first visit. Good quality screen, sound is very good. Exceeded my expectations. Food is very reasonable and generous portions. My one suggestion is to have a customer service number active during the shows to manage people who insist on leaving their head lights on. I approached one car who was doing so most of the movie and he acknowledged they were on, it wasn’t an accident - but he wanted to run his AC.
Ken M — Google review
we had a great experience at the drive in theatre! The setup was perfect for a relaxed night out. The sound came through the car radio clearly, and the picture quality was really good. The staff was friendly, and the concession stand had all the classic snacks you’d expect. It was a fun change from the usual movie theaters and made for a memorable night. I definitely recommend!

Sawdust City Brewing Co. is located in Gravenhurst, known as "Sawdust City" due to its history of lumber and boat-building industries. The brewery offers tours every Saturday, allowing visitors to explore the 20,000 square foot brewhouse, canning line, taproom, retail store, and patio. The company embraces its heritage and invites guests to take a selfie with the world's largest Muskoka chair before delving into the brewing process.
Wonderful experience on Canada Day here. The service was excellent—everyone was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to introduce their drinks and offer great recommendations. I really appreciated the vibe and decor, which added to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommend it!

Best fish and chip ever had. Thin crisp batter almost tampura like on thick chunky haddock. Fries are fresh and not greasy. Also had hamburger and wings which were tasty and generous. Friendly and fast service on a busy evening. A selection of beer for every taste bud maybe overwhelming for some.

Driven by many times and never been in before but daughters" raves had finally taken hold...and glad I did. A phenomenal selection of on-site brews and although I am a traditional and basic lager / pilsner person I had a small taste of their RED ROCKET STOUT...and WOW!!!!! A dynamic burst of espresso/dark chocolate opens on the palette to be followed by a totally unexpected CHILI hit on the backside on the way down. I am totally on board and bought four cans for home!!!! Next time I will make it a food stop as their poutine and burgers looked highly delectable LUCKY LOCALS and Muskoka cottagers !!!!.

Beer is delicious! We went mid-afternoon and sat on the patio, which was nice. Wish there was music! We ordered food and were very underwhelmed with the portion size.. you get 3 spring rolls with dip for 15 dollars and the presentation is hilarious.. see picture I’d go again for a beer but wouldn’t order food!

Nice brewery with a big selection of beers. They have a good size shop with canned beer to take away also. Next time we're in the area we will have a meal also as the food looked really good. They have some live band days, we will check ahead to try to come then also.

Sawdust City Brewing Co., or Sagermiller Stadt in Gravenhurst, located just meters away from the birthplace of famed Canadian, Dr. Bethune who is still revered in China for the lives he saved there in the 1930s during the brutal occupation of Manchuria by the Japanese Imperial Army, has a lot to live up to. And it does so with ease. Peavey Hook, the Helles lager is a frisky little beast, dancing and twirling at the end of its leash. It is full of body and flavour. Ol' Woody the Altbier is a dark, ruddy ale, serious of mien and purpose with a touch of the bitterness of regret. Mocha Crunch is an exuberant chocolate stout that balances sweet chocolate with bitter coffee.
Sanjeewa A — Google review
LOVE this micro ... fantastic food, huge (!!) assortment of taps and flavours: something for everyone. Revisited this weekend and the place was hopping - amazing outside patio + live music was a great addition. The smash bruger - redefines smash burgers ... wanted to try the cheeseburger spring rolls but sadly - sold out. Great service. AMAZING swag - clothing, accessories, and (of course) we snagged some cans to bring home - many flavours not on the tap menu. In the area - you must go here !

Relish, situated in a renovated Salvation Army church from the 1900s, is a thriving community hub run by the passionate mother-daughter duo of Emily and Jess Dursely. This jack-of-all-trades shop is not only a kitchen and market but also a small family-run business in Gravenhurst.
Great place to get lunch! They also have a cute little shop with local stuff to buy. I got the build your own wrap which was very fresh and tasty. I recommend you stop here if in Gravenhurst!

Good spot for healthy brunch, very vegetarian friendly. I got 3 items from the deli (make your own platter): the tofu, quinoa with edamame and roasted veggies. The tofu was amazing, seasoning on point. Veggies were fresh, quinoa nice and juicy. One thing that threw me off was that all food was super cold. I guess I expected at least the roasted veggies to be warmed up. Food was really filling and they have generous portion size, got a bag to finish it later. I also got the super latte. Tasted mostly like regular latte, maybe a bit creamier and not very strong coffee taste. The ambience is great, very lively, there’s health items to shop too. Service was fast and everyone was very polite and welcoming, despite how busy it got. Overall, great place to grab healthy food, would come again!
Sanja S — Google review
A really nice cafe with lots of fresh sandwiches, wraps, and small bites like samosas and spanakopitas, Relish is a place where I can see local vegetarians stopping regularly. They also have a small foodstuff storefront with more niche products and groceries, and perusing through the selection made it seem like there was practically no wait for our ordered food. Definitely recommend popping by here for a lighter fare lunch that'll still be satisfying in flavour and size.

This has been our stop on the way north for years. It was alway great for breakfast & lunch. Stopped today to find restaurant closed so we grabbed 1 muffin, 1 box of glosettes, 1 box skittles, 1 cherry blossom for a total cost of $19.40! No I’m not exaggerating. No prices were marked and bad on us for assuming. Maybe we will just get a pie or tarts if we stop on future trips. Positive note. The bathrooms are immaculate

Once I reminded the waitress that I was waiting for her to take my order my food showed up pretty quick. I ordered the truckers special which came with 3 eggs 2 bacon 2 sausage and a good size piece of ham. Although definitely not worth $22.50 I paid and left. I probably won't go back because all the prices were ridiculously high. I'll give it one star but they probably don't deserve it.
Leo P — Google review
This restaurant was recommended to me for their breakfast, but I wouldn't pass on the recommendation. It's expensive and the food is mediocre. The home fries are frozen potato puffs and my eggs were way over cooked (scrambled, hard and brown on one side). Service was good, and I liked the quaint vibe but I will never go back. $11 for 3 over cooked eggs, frozen potatoes and white bread from a bag is way, way too much.
Sara H — Google review
My rating is based mostly on price. The service was friendly and attentive and the food came fast and hot. I have dietary restrictions and can't eat gluten. I paid $15 for an omelette with 3 slices of tomato. I would have to be in a real pinch to go back.
Peter L — Google review
We stopped into this place, because it was close to our accommodations. Little did we know we should have driven farther to find a place to eat. When we arrived, the server was very grumpy and seemed impatient with us ordering. I could understand, somewhat, if it was busy, but there were only 4 other people. The server never checked up on us, and the food wasn't that great either. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki and it was essentially the skewers you can buy in the grocery store. At the end of the meal, we were given the bill without ever being asked if we wanted tea, coffee or desert. Overall, very unkind service which darkens the atmosphere. We noticed that the server had a similar attitude with other customers as well. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Pub
On February 24, I visited Carey's Pub, a small local establishment. Initially, there were only two other customers present, but the place quickly filled up within half an hour and additional patrons arrived for takeout orders. The staff consisted of two servers who were accommodating and pleasant. They offered a diverse choice of draught beer options and served traditional Irish pub food. For dinner, I had a delightful one-piece cod with fries while my husband opted for their special pierogi 8 oz.
Some of Muskoka's biggest and best chicken wings. Carey's also offers a Burger of the Week and Poutine of the Week feature that has had spectacular creations. The nachos are great and the 'Yorkie Bowl' (a giant Yorkshire pudding filled with mashed potatoes, shaved prime rib and smothered in gravy) is a total game changer.

Wow! Best wings EVER. They are not lying… biggest and best wings. We had a quick stop in on the way home. The food came quick, the server was kind and the Irish pub theme was cute. We will be coming back again for sure next time we’re this way. I highly recommend anyone looking for a nice spot for dinner. Also they have Ceaser Saturday! Yum.

Excellent wings, the best in Muskoka! They're huge! 😃 Good deal for the size of these wings! This pub needs to be supported by anyone who likes excellent wings!. Tell your friends & keep this place on your radar whenever passing through Gravenhurst like I do. The decor of the pub is so/so, but the food is incredibly good, excellent portions. We travel up to Huntsville on occasion & always stop in on the way up & on the way home. I wish they were in Barrie where I live.

Friendly service. This is your average local pub. Menu is limited, quite overpriced for all the items. Came here for the Wednesday wings deal, the wings were tasty, tender and crispy. There is an up charge if you want 2 flavours in your set of wings which they don’t tell you. Coming from dining out in Toronto, this menu is really pricey in my opinion for a small town like Gravenhurst. Most likely will not come back.

We ordered the Deep Fried Brie, Fish and Chips (Cod), Yorkie Bowl and Chicken Wings (Dry Maple Bacon & Mango Habanero). A place to visit for unique homemade food experience! The service was great and we are excited to return!

Classic North American Irish roadhouse☘️. Excellent ambience, cold pints & tasty hot food of generous portions! No wonder there’s a steady stream of local customers eating in and taking away. Will stop in again next time we pass this way! 🍻Slaínte!

Restaurant
The restaurant Swiss Chalet is a popular spot for families to come and enjoy delicious food and excellent service. The food is always fresh and hot, and the waitstaff are always helpful. The only downside is that it can be difficult to get a seat at times, especially during busy periods.
Staff members were the best I’ve had at any restaurant in a long time ,food was hot and quick to come out highly recommend this spot Bracebridge Swiss chalet ,and happy to see the lemon bowls back

Came to this location maybe a year ago… not sure if the place was re-owned but totally different. I ordered a crispy chicken Caesar salad. The portion came in the same size as the side salad just with chicken on top… sure it is what it is.. no bacon (one of the best parts of a Caesar is the bacon).. once again I’m pretty easy going so it is what it is. My mother and grandmother ordered the quarter chicken meal, and the once genuine quarter chicken is now a quarter of a quarter chicken. Not looking for money back or coupons, just wanting to let the public in the area know that maybe Swiss chalet isn’t the best choice anymore. For the price it’s not worth it. Service was slow but pleasant, dining room was clean.

I visited the Swiss Chalet in Bracebridge last week with my friends, and we had a great experience. The dining area was clean, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxed meal. The staff were friendly and provided quick and efficient service with everything we ordered. I was really impressed! I’ve already recommended it to my other friends and will definitely be going back again.

Great place, nice atmosphere and great service. Ebra was absolutely great service, was amazing even when busy, and food was very good definitely recommend to anyone. For how busy it was he did a great job. Of course for it to be a 5 star it would have to be perfect and that’s almost impossible to get but this place is pretty close. I would give it 4.7 if I could get that close but since I can’t it’s perfect 🤩

Second update:- August 2025 Tried it yet again. Food was good. Washrooms absolutely disgusting. Filthy. Stinky. Service was non existent. After we waited 10 minutes to order, we got our food, and after that no server came. Couldn’t ask for more sauce. Could not order another drink. And funny thing was that we were one of two tables in the entire restaurant. Been 10 minutes again, can’t get the bill still. There’s a reason this place is empty. It’s not the food.

Went there today for lunch. Great service as soon as I walked in. The food came quickly and was nice and hot. The only thoughts are that the bun that came with the meal was very dry and didn't taste too good; and the horseradish that came with the roast beef was very bland. Chicken and fries are always a favorite!!

They don’t even deserve one star, but I have to the worst customer service I called because twice they missed my order and they hung up the phone on me I complain to the manager I told him there’s stuff or missing my order. He was getting mad at me and then he hang up the phone on me. Zero service they do whatever back home they think they can bring their service to Canada. The Canada is gone now no more Canada what was before now so disappointed
