The history and age of the area. We were there a short time, but would love to be there longer to explore more.
Didnt explore Midland much as we where there for a ball tournament in Wasaga beach and Barrie.
The waterfront was lovely!
Lots of things to do! Great restaurants and Busy Bee Taxi has great drivers!
Quiet escape with pretty views, quaint town and beautiful beaches.
We love the restaurants, shopping, cultural centre, Wye Marsh, historical sites.
The rooms were very clean, and the bed was comfortable.
The waterfront trail for cycling. The Arch and Explorer restaurants were both excellent, as was the coffee house Ciboulette!

I was impressed with the Little Lake Park, so clean with much play equipment for children, and a lovely paved walkway along the water. The harbour area was also clean and a pleasant area for a walk with washrooms available at the information centre.
