Aurora Travel Guide

Welcome to Aurora, ON!

The town of Aurora in Ontario, which shares its name with the Greek goddess of the dawn, offers the charm of a smaller community with the perks of living close to a major city. The province's capital city, Toronto is only about 40 km (24.9 mi) away. Although the lure of the big city is there, the town has plenty of its own attractions to see. For instance, Aurora's section of Yonge Street always has something going on. The street is home to a variety of interesting shops and hosts an annual Street Festival in June. The town also boasts a range of museums, including the Hillary House. The house, which dates back to the early 1860s, features an extensive collection of antique medical instruments. For those who want to spend time in the scenic outdoors, they can explore the Sheppard's Bush Conservation Area. Well-kept paths and picnic places fill the green space. Visitors and Aurora residents can conclude their day in one of the town's relaxing dining establishments that range from casual coffee bars to classy steak restaurants.
