The City of Owen Sound offers a full-service Visitor Information Centre on the harbour where you'll find maps, guides, souvenirs and more. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff will help you make the most of your stay and can assist with trip planning.
The visitor centre is open seven days a week from May to October. Look for the historic train station on the west side of the harbour, at 1155 1st Avenue West. There's plenty of free parking (trucks, trailers and RVs welcome), picnic tables, washroom facilities, and access to our harbour walkway. If you're traveling on foot or by bicycle, you can safely leave your packs with us as you explore downtown Owen Sound, only a few blocks away.
Looking for a way to experience the Scenic City? Visit the Owen Sound Tourism Centre for your all your cruising-by-bike needs. Full day and half day bike rentals are available, this includes helmets. Jogger/child carrier attachment available to rent as well.
On Sunday evenings in the summer, the visitor centre is the site of free Harbour Nights concerts. It also shares space with the Community Waterfront Heritage Centre, where you can learn about the city's roots as a major shipping, rail and industrial port.
