The Big Nickel at Dynamic Earth

Sudbury's enormous roadside landmark, surrounded by rocky grounds that are good for a picnic and walk.

The Big Nickel at Dynamic Earth

The short version

The Big Nickel was our second stop while driving from Parry Sound to Sault Ste. Marie. It is an obvious place for a road-trip photograph and an easy way to break up the drive through Sudbury.

The outdoor grounds gave us room to walk with Tilly and find a picnic spot. We treated this as an outdoor stop and did not take her into Dynamic Earth.

The dog details

We explored the outdoor grounds with Tilly. Confirm current rules directly for any indoor areas at Dynamic Earth.
