There are restaurants for dinner in downtown Orillia near the lake on Mississaga St. Closer to the campus, there are several restaurants at the nearby West Ridge Place mall. Consider Montana's for dinner on Tuesday.
After the ride there are attractions in the area. Near Bass Lake, there is the George Langman Wildlife Sanctuary. In Orillia, we have Couchiching Beach Park along the downtown lakeshore. The Maraposa Market is a great place to eat and/or shop. A cold one and hot nachos can be had on the patio at Fionn MacCool's or Studabakers near the waterfront.
