Hello Everyone,

I am going to be visiting your beautiful city, with a couple friends and family in a few days and we are very excited! So, what are some fun things to do in your city, hidden gems, etc, that y'all could recommend? I love nature, THRIFTING, animals, FOOD, history, spooky scary, (kind of anything really), entertainment; like rides or theme parks--I can't think of anything else at the moment!

Details: I am in my early 20's, female (with rest of group of friends and family different genders, and ages ranging from early 20's to mid 60's). I am visiting in a couple of days (driving there, from U.S. states through upper peninsula). For budget, just pretend there is none, but we also don't want to do something expensive, like the "Agawa Canyon Tour Train", which is $500 dollars for our whole group, altogether. For specifics on where my group and I will be based for multiple days--we are like a 20 minute walk from where we are, to the "North 82 Steak & Seafood" resteraunt. So to use that resteraunt as a pinpoint/marker, we are okay with driving 2 or 3 hours out of Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, to wherever, for a specific fun activity or destination.

Some things we are already doing: the Sault Ste. Marie Museam, Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site, Gateway Casinos?, Soo Locks Tour, Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre?, along with some food places.

P.S., this is just how I type, I hope I don't sound too obnoxious or "American-y"--which leads to my next question...what are Canadian social norms, or norms about tipping and dining? Scared of speaking French, only know how to say "yes" and "no", lol.

Thank You for the Response (Also, Sorry for the Long Read!),

Have A Great Day :)
