Reviews of Big Nickel (Museum)

Naren P

Something special! Got a small and well managed science center too.

sergio jimenez

Its a good stop for some funny pictures on your drive.... dont go just for that..lol

Brian Graham

The nickel is there, but the museum is closed! Change the signage!

Mark Prospero

A bit disappointed as I had always thought the big nickle was a giant nickle cast in one piece, I honestly wish I hadn't visited and allowed my illusions to continue. The area and the view of the nickle foundry are very nice.

Mike Giona

Too bad everything was closed due to Covid-19

Steve Formoso

Really cool place to visit and take some pictures. The view is beautiful from here and the Nickel itself is pretty impressive. Lots of cool information about the landscape and rock formations

Cara R-N

Interesting stop. Great photo-ops. Will return to check out Dynamic Earth.

John Latimer

The big nickel is really neat to see. It's not that busy that you can't enjoy checking it out, or even getting some fun photos without people in them. This is on the grounds of Dynamic Earth which is a must visit when you are there!

Dean

It's certainly a Big Nickel.

Caroline Tutakiewicz

Fun to see and worth a quick stop.

Malak Harb

(Translated) There are more interesting things than seeing a dime, honestly. (Original) Il y a des choses plus intérressantes que de voir un cinq sous, honnêtement.

Arash Ghashghaei

Nice place to visit and take a break.

Peter Desera

Apart from the history, i personally wasn't impressed by the Big Nickel. However i took a few pictures. Its a short drive from Downtown so better check it out

Meaghan MacKenzie

Sudbury classic! Worth going out of your way to check out. Replica of a 1951 Canadian Nickel Coin.

Roosmari Croeser

It’s okay. You have to see it if you go to Sudbury though.

Srinivasa Krishnamurthy

Excellent Halloween pumpkinfreno

fred down

If you are passing through Sudbury, then pay a visit, we were there just after Labor Day and the museum was closed. Not that impressive.

Benjamin Grim

Was good but it was closed. I'm sure that if the building was open we would have enjoyed it more. I think there is an admission.

Patrick Duriez

If the adjoining museum is closed, there is not much to do beyond snapping a photo of the big nickel and crossing it of your to do list in Sudbury.

Walter Spence

Stopped in while travelling through, under some type of construction at the time and no lighting for big nickel attraction unfortunately, was also difficult to catch entrance as poor lighting at turn off from main hwy ????

Kevin Beaudoin

Nice spot good view.

Harry Mann

The Dynamic Earth attraction was closed for season due to covid-19 restrictions.

Matthew Robinson

4/5 Could be a bigger nickel.

Fwad Malik

Nicely developed structure with lots of history to be learnt about the history of this coin.

Pedro Vallecillo

Great place to stop

Richard林

Pretty cool place for a picture

Kelly R

This was the only thing I knew about Sudbury before moving here. Great to see it in person. I bring all of our visitors here.

Jason Pangowish

Enjoyed our afternoon here! My son loved all the displays/shows and information that was pleasantly presented to him!

Livia Mello da Silva

Great place to visit with kid and experience a mine day. There is a kids parking outside but it was not open on the weekend I went.

Alicia Thorpe

Enjoyable stop on a road trip! Easy to get to and great informational signs for the kids to learn from.

Lauren Mercedes Anglin

Used to work at dynamic earth so it was strange being back. But it's a beautiful setting. Nice view if Sudbury. And hey it's a huge nickel! Always interesting to see...

K Kealey

Yep that's a big nickel

Francis Roland

Large nickel is big

Danika Lévesque

(Translated) Really amazing! (Original) Vraiment impressionnant!

Ian Coburn

It is indeed a very big nickel.

Georgetown Spider-Man

Such a cool looking place from the outside. Google said it was open but it's off season (Oct 9) and only open at night. Took lots of fun pictures with the Big Nickel! Looks like a fun pumpkin setup for the kids at night.

Jesse McLean

Iconic Big Nickel. Worth the stop while passing through Sudbury. Nice little gift shop available as well.

Nas

worth a stop if traveling in the area

Olga Olshanskaya

It was good to see. The coin is awesome. Good to know some geological history as well.Unfortunately the center is not open to the public .

sandy paul (SeRiAlH)

I really liked how open the site is.. you can get lots of pictures of yourself with the Nickel. Its very shiny and beautiful. The site also has lights on it to light up the monument at night.. I didnt want to go at night cause I wasn't sure if there was lights.. but low and behold there they were

dR.rIaZ kHoKhAr

Awesome

Vlad Stone

Totally awesome!! Explains why it’s here, and very worth the trip! Excellent scenic view of Sudbury as well!

Alain Colle

(Translated) I liked (Original) J ai bien aimé

Matthew Hartnett

It's literally the biggest nickle I've ever seen

Giancarlo Baratta

Big and nickely!!

Pauline Beal

Loved the mine last time I was here and it’s so great again. The big nickel is still awesome. I feel and hurt my knee and they were so accommodating. Better gift shop then science north. The mine tour was amazing and the playground looked awesome. Great place to visit for old and young alike.

Kurtis W

Pretty cool. Great views as well.

Mark Hoppe

It's ok...worth it for my son...we did a picnic so it made it better...Sudbury roads to get there are HORRIBLE...reminded me of Chicago's poorly maintained roads.

glee .matrix

Authentic indian food for value and they also have good tiffin service.

Justin Nicholls

A fun little tourist spot on the side of the road! It is a good spot to take a break from driving and to stretch your legs. It’s a shame the other forms of currency were removed in the late 1990s/ early 2000s.

Chetan Ramse

Awesome experience!

Lito Ulat

It's an awesome place to go and have a memorable time to gaze upon the world's biggest nickel coin and to learn the history of the how this vast crater came about.

Hand Graft'd Creations

We got to hold the largest nickel in the world! ????????‍♀️????????‍♂️. Although the full experience was limited due to the pandemic, I couldn't genuinely rate it 5 stars even if I wanted to. We spent some of the best 30-minutes taking pictures under the nickle with some of our best friends in Sudbury! It deserves another visit when it opens to the public.

Simon Landman

Exactly as advertised - it's a very big Nickel! There's a mine shaft you can go down - part of the Dynamic Earth science centre - but unfortunately it was closed for COVID when we were there. Still, the view is pretty nice and it's a good photo opportunity. It's good for a quick stop, stretch your legs, take a few pictures, then head on your way to your next Northern Ontario adventure. I wouldn’t drive in to Sudbury just for this, but it’s part of the local attractions if you find yourself in town.

Bonnie Dickson

The Big Nickel was a fun sight to see, even in the rain. It was midday but the building was closed, except for in the evening, guess because it's October. The information on Google said it was open, so that was a bit disappointing. Looks like they have a fun Halloween pumpkin setup for kids. I'd try to visit here again during the day earlier in the season. Looks like an interesting place.

Linda C

Was nice to get back and visit the Big Nickle...it's been 50 years since my last visit...very nice, enjoyed it!

Th3namesadam

Cool place to visit!

Douglas Burnett

Very informative. Incredible what effort has been put into the mining operations over the years.

Daniel Kocsis

Fun place to check out if you're stopping by Sudbury

Guy Souliere

Was a hot ???? day 33°c didn't stay for visit was ok

Vishal Singh

Capture it

Nolan Sarlo

I was here for the Northern Game Design Challenge. Always a blast, the venue is cool. ????????

Priyanka S

Fun and unique tourist attraction in Sudbury. We visited Big Nickel for the first time when we were visiting Sudbury in July 2021. It’s on the side of the Highway 34. A Great stop on the way. This attraction is free and the parking lot is …

Haydee Silva

Beautiful place for visit with the family, a lot history.

BTS CANADA LTD

Don’t forget to take a picture

Pooya Dibajnia

Representative of the history of this important industry in Sudbury. Cool for a quick visit.

Jay Vora

A nickel mine

DiMouli Ako

A must for all when visiting or passing by Sudbury. An iconic landmark and a nice place to take photos. Visit early morning to avoid crowd.

Randy

It's big, it's round, it's shiny, if you squint hard enough it almost resembles a bagel. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's exciting or anything (Mind you the gift store and park area were closed when we went) but it's worth stopping by just to say you did if you're passing through or visiting

Courtney Janssen-Grieve

Really fun pit stop with picnic tables but no washrooms available when mine tourist destination is closed.

Jules GP

(Translated) EN: Good place to stop for a picture, and rest. EN: Good place to stop and take a photo, also to rest. (Original) EN: Good place to stop for a picture, and rest. ES: Buen lugar para parar y tomar una foto, también para descansar.

Pocket Tomato

Too scary, much too big for my tiny feeble pockets!

Linda Graham

Blast from the past...was here many moons ago as a child and although it was fantastic to see the Big Nickel????, it was disappointing that the Museum was closed until October!☹️

Tom Skublics

A Canadian icon.

Vashti Ramsukh

This was cool to explore. Unfortunately the museum was closed at the time we went (due to COVID-19) but we still had fun learning a little about Sudbury nickle mining.

nice place to see and take pictures

Guy Warwick (ForestRanger)

Always worth the visit. Glad to say I'd been.

Glenn Robinson

Very big, but not constructed of Nickel.

Soma K Rajesh

We visited this place in winter, so it is closed to visit inside. But we are able to take few pics outside near the coin.

A M

Great place to take your family!

Pierre-Paul Laplante

A must-see in Sudbury

Dan Miller

Preposterously oversized things are always fun, no? Great, iconic site.

Nataniel Quenneville

(Translated) Iconic place to visit if you are going to Sudbury! ???? (Original) Lieu iconique à visiter si vous allez à Sudbury! ????

Dynamic centre was closed so we didn’t get to go inside. Big nickel looks pretty cool with the giant rocks and the view.

Basanagowda Patil

Good place to visit once.Didn't get much time to hang over due to Covid.There is park too just behind the Nickel Frame.

bean egg

big nickel, big nickel

Paul Reesor

Sudbury is a nice muddle sized city to visit and this is a historic iconic, symbolic place to stop in.

From Summit to Sea

Wow! We were only going to spend about an hour here but ended up being the very last to leave. Ha ha So much to learn, watch, see, do. The Underground Mine tour was very interesting. My 12 & 13 year said it was one of their favorites.

Hameed Bhatti

Awesome must see landmark in Sudbury!

Footzah

The big nickle was surely big, its always great to visit the attraction. While the main building was closed because of Covid, it was still nice to be able visit the nickel itself

Mahrukh Ammad

Big nickle is cool monument in Sudbury. Thers is a dynamic earth science museum, but unfortunately it was closed when we visited. Would've loved to do the tour with them. Kids had a great time. There is alot of new plantation and plaques that tells you about its history. There is alot of parking available.

Todd Rederburg

Given that my expectations were low for a giant nickel, I was pleasantly surprised by the educational content and views of Sudbury. Having said that they need a porta potty and some picnic benches for the covid era traveller. The landscaping stones did a good job as a picnic area and Tim Hortons near by did in a pinch for the bathroom.

Gary Milner

We had a good time looking at the nickel and taking photos. It is as good as any "big" attraction around. It is worth a stop even if you only stay a short time.

Zakkary Poppe

big nickel scary. big nickel too big to fit in my pockets to steal.

Sean Sander

Pretty cool place. Tours closed still due to COVID-19, but they have a few things for small kids. Grounds are clean. Looks like they have spent time to create an experience, not just a good view of the city.

JK Larda

It's Big, and it's a Nickel! What more could you ask for!?

Shilpa

The big nickel is huge and beautiful. Must visit in Sudbury.

jason Spanish

It’s good for kids 5-8 at the Halloween event. The pumpkins were really cool thanks for who put their time for this.

SC Peter PANG

If you are not entering the Dynamic Earth science museum, you do not need to buy a ticket. Making this attraction literally free. …

Ryan Solomon

It's a big nickel

Lisa Charles

It's big

Frances Tong

Very nice scenery. The Big Nickel weighs 15000 kg! It's an interesting place to stop by.

Gary Maksoudian

Nice little place to get away.

Dreamcatcher Music

Very cool

Mgalactic Go

Great times for family fun

JJM

Nice to let the kids see.

Gurv Singh

Awesome view.. Activities for kids..

Andrew Morden

Wasn't able to go in due to covid but had a nice view even given the hazy smoke from the fires out west. Lots of parking and plenty of space to move around and have different views of the city.

Mylene Pinsonnault

(Translated) It was closed because of the covid. The outdoor space is fine (Original) C'était fermé à cause de la covid. L'espace extérieur est très bien

Bonnie Hartwick

As i was last there 40 years ago things have changed a lot . Due to covid.everything was closed ???? I did enjoy reading about the differant rock formations and colors. I really don't get the mini putt , (closed) its not related to the nickle mines. It would of been nice to see some kind of video of what happens in the minds . Thank you for sharing the big nickel .

Isaiah Super

I found a nickel standing outside it was on big pillars but it was too heavy to pick up and put in my pocket so I had to leave it but it looked pretty cool

Paul Simmons

Love seeing the Nickel!

Pia Warga

Nice to see and a wonderful sight over the area from this spot too.

Marie Tourangeau

It's impressive and the story behind it is interesting. It is worth seeing it if you're driving by but I would not come from far to see it.

CY Siu

An attraction and tourist spot worth visiting. It also doubles as a museum. Lots to learn and see here.

Helen Dunn

5 stars mostly because it's something I've heard about since I was a kid and it lived up to it! It's a really BIG nickel! The museum sounds super interesting but was closed. Maybe next time, Sudbury!

Renee D

Visited the Pumpkinferno. Definitely recommend, super cute for kids or adults. If you appreciate detail and and taking the time to enjoy something simple yet so creative, it's worth the 30 minutes

Zach A

Worth the detour if you’re passing through Sudbury! Very cool to see this giant coin up close and all the interesting rocks leading up to it. Ample parking space available.

KaiM CA

Looked impressive, from outside. Unfortunately closed with ridiculous opening hours on weekends only!

marty tkachuk

Would like to have seen more, Dynamic Earth was closed. Looks pretty cool

Hayden Jambrich

Yup it's big

Shane Davis

Pretty big nickel.

Anthony Carchidi

The name describes the site.. it is quite a big nickle. Weights about 13,000kg.

Nisha Mathew

Loved the store inside ☺️

Bruce Jacob

Nice outdoor experience. Too bad everything is closed because of COVID.

Kathy Hall

Never been to sudbury before it a beautiful city

Lilly White

The giant nickel is interesting for a 10 minute stop, but the fee for going into the mines is overpriced. At $23.00 a person, i think it's money spent better elsewhere. I think if they cut the price in half, they'd get twice as many people coming through their doors.

nene Wind (금옥이)

(Translated) It is closed in winter. (Original) 겨울엔 문을 닫습니다.

Anna Yu

The biggest nickel I've ever seen and will see

jason goodman

@neph.said (tiktok) says u have to get your picture taken there

Gagan Singh

Great views from the top. We visited in early January weather was good for Sudbury and not busy at all. Would be nice to see in summer.

Pasi Posti

It’s a big, shiny attraction that’s pretty much a must stop while in the ‘bury. Tip, shoot your photo with the HDR on because the reflective nature of the coin really helps expose itself in the photo. The Big Nickel is truly timeless.

Eric

Must see if you are going through Sudbury , I wish I could check out the mine tour / exhibit, but 2021..... Ugh

Sean Graney

Not much here when the Dynamic Earth is closed (on Wednesdays) but there is still a really big nickel!

Prama (sunflowersandsunshine)

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Simon Солома

great place, but watch out for the speed camera aimed at the main road

Bada

(Translated) A view point where you can enjoy the scenery of Sudbury City spreading down the hill, a great place to take a selfie with a huge nickel coin, a landmark that has the identity as a coal mining city. If you stop by Sudbury during your road trip, it's not a bad place to visit, and parking is easy. (Original) 언덕아래로 펼쳐지는 서드버리 시의 경관을 즐길 수 있는 뷰 포인트, 탄광도시로써의 아이덴티티를 담은 랜드마크인 거대한 니켈코인과 함께 셀피를 찍기 좋은 장소. 로드트립중 서드버리를 들렸다면 겸사겸사 방문하기 나쁘지않으며 주차도 용이한 편

Its historical and memorable place where we spend our quality time.

Louise Casey

A true Ontario experience!

thespiritofthenight

nice place to stop

Manuel Gonzalez

Very nice program. I enjoyed with my family.

Arno Deering

Amazing spot, great little store inside. Nice pathway also and great for historical education.

Pranay Joshi

Not much really, the museum was closed when we went so was a quick 5min stop. I agree with others here, don’t go out of your way for it... but if you’re in the hood... stop and take a selfie.

Andrew Scott

Love going here with the family. We've been coming here since I was a kid for family trips. It's nice to carry on the tradition. Unfortunately this year we couldn't go because of Covid but next year we will be back up there.

Bob Staff

There are not a lot of attractions in Sudbury so be sure to check this out. None of the attached attractions were open due to Covid19.

Yoram Yaron

An interesting place and history.

Tony Tango

Good 5 minute stop. The rocks with the glacial scraping are amazing.

Cesar Torres T

Great place to visit. It Is one of the most known atractions in Nickel City, the biggest city of northern Ontario Canada

Jetlover X

Nice big nickel, not much to see around (visited during covid). But good attraction.

France Caron

(Translated) Nice discovery, too bad the center was closed but we were able to see the big 5 sous. Impressive. We could see that it was made 5 cents of different sizes and materials: nicjel, gold, etc. (Original) Belle découverte, dommage que le centre était fermé mais on a pu voir le gros 5 sous. Impressionnant. On a pu voir qu'il a été fait 5 sous de grosseur et matériaux différents.nicjel, or,etc.

This was on the list to visit on the way. To bad it was blocked and we couldn't get any closer

Mathy Arumugam

Part of Canada's achievement history

Eilla Mae

HUGE!

MrBoknowbo

Lovely little tourist trap! Some history here. Always something to do. Well kept property. Looking forward to win this lockdown is over and the museum is open again.

Steve McGuigan

Museum was closed but got some pics of area.

Chris Penny

Finally got to see it! Marvelous

Brittany Decaire

I enjoyed the night view

Trevor Ross

Great place for the whole family.

Conner Donaldson

Just a big nickel if your in the area go see it

Andrew Deegan

Fun tourist attraction in Sudbury, replica of a Canadian Nickel ($0.05) that sits right outside the Dynamic Earth Museum. It's completely free to see the Nickel, and they even have information boards outlining how it was made. Ample free parking. You can spend more time there by visiting the museum but not sure what's in there.

Brooks Elford

Very cool. It is free to see the Nickel. Watch you don't miss the turn off on HWY 37. The Science Museum costs money, however, there are washrooms inside the building free of charge and you can also access the gift shop without paying to go in the museum. We were in a time crunch heading elsewhere or we would have went to the museum, looks very cool. If you're near Sudbury definitely go take some pictures!

T.R. Sauve

On October 1st, 2020 I proposed to my girlfriend under the big nickel. This place will always hold a special place in my heart.

Agatha Sibbald

Legit big nickle!

Valliappan Palaniappan

Top place to visit in Sudbury. Located on a hill, offers great views

Anna Nguyen

With the blue sky and big nickel behind, you could have a great picture. The view of the city can be seen from the top of the hill. Good place for dating and chilling. It is adviced to go around 9-11 am. At that time, it is not too hot in the summer and avoid crowds.

Nikki K (nikkitheknack)

This is an interesting monument to visit in order to learn a bit about Sudbury's history. There are several information stations around, each highlighting facts about the place. A fun stop for the family as there's a unique playground right behind the Big Nickel!

Sanjeev Dandekar

The guided tour of mine is enjoyable and so are the documentaries. History of Sudbury is worth watching. Most of the staff are helpful and enthusiastic. But one or two need more training. Be prepared to spend about four hours if you have interest in mining and geology. The items in giftshop have a lot of variety but many of the m seem a bit pricy. Overall worth a visit once.

Mark Robbins

Seeing the big nickel helped me turn my life around.

Kyle Mckay

Great family spot. Take a picture and head into Dynamic earth. Without the mining tour can spend easily 3 hours there. Love the rock hound, turn in rocks for points. Great educational fun for kids and adults.

Antonia U

Cool roadside attraction. No crowds in November because it's really cold.

alexander C

OverRated it's smaller then I thought

keyur patel

It’s a really good place and there is a lot of information to get...

Ronald Doyle

Was Closed During Winter break

Debbie

Nice view of Sudbury there.

Adam Marshall

It was fun but the website isn't clear on weather or not stuff is sold out. But still had a good time.

Oleska Prokopovych

Turns out this is the largest coin in the world! It was cool to see and take pictures with.

First time there in my 45 years of existence

Gina Crognale

My Dad worked at the INCO Port Colborne refinery! Great history!

HOWARD NG

Still under construction. Need to repair the walk way faster

Robert Gohn

Seems like the monument is a bit of a waste of resources.

Mike Vass

Cool spot! Great scenery!

Ryan Luigits

Closed Monday at 3pm. It's covid. People travel in ontario after labor day. Even bathrooms Closed

Ryan Buckle

It would be 5 stars but the minebwas closed

Larissa Puls

Fun attraction in Sudbury. Great photo opp. Keep in mind, Dynamic Earth is still closed to the public. No access to the science centre (or washrooms, gift shop, mine tour etc.) just yet.

Ema Rene

A must see in Sudbury

Big nickel was not opened to public due to covid, loved the big coin, took pictures. Amazing view.

Derek Edwards

Great to see such great interactive displays. I've been underground many times. It's great to be able to show my son how some of te equipment works. I'll definitely be coming back. I've lived in sudbury my whole life and can't believe I never visited sooner.

Patricia Duchesne

Good for children. Excellent animators

Johnson Kanagaraj

It is located in a beautiful place and a bit outside the city of Sudbury. Will continue a bit later.

Heather Arbour

Was surprised how large it actually is in person!

Luis Angeles

A must to see when visiting Sudbury.

Heather Lutes

Canadian icon...a must see when you go to Sudbury!

Senthil Kumaran

The guide is very informative and explained us how they extract Nickel olden days. Also how to identify rocks, minerals and fossils. Very informative. There is big Nickel mounted on the top of a rock. It was told this Nickel is the largest coin in the world. The head side of the nickel has King George VI and at the tail side symbol of refinery.

Jacky Vong

It's a big nickel.

Leigh-Anne & Lee

Loved finally seeing this! Its one of 'bucket list' sights I've always wanted to see! And it lived up to all expectations... sadly covid made it impossible to go inside dynamic earth and explore the other attractions at the site but we'll be back in the spring so hopefully we can do that part next time

Stuart Poole

I have never been, and I'm sure it's a giant "nickle" however I'm giving this a one star review due to it being made out of steel and not truly nickle. I think Sudbury should be ashamed.

TJ

It's a big nickel with some history about the Big Nickel

Ali Ahad

As expected.

Tammy McGowan

Been here before, been years though. Unfortunately with this Covid19, was still not able to see the Dynamic Earth exhibits.

Steve Nagy

That's one big nickel

Ger D C

Great place to be and be proud and grateful of our mining industry.

Riaz Khokhar

Awesome

Shea Amiro

It was fun and free to see! There was informative signs about the rock formation in the area. Unfortunately, I couldn't go on a tour with Dynamic Earth as a walk-in cause they were at capacity for the day from online bookings and the couple of people ahead of me that morning.

Carl Anderson

With everything still closed just the stuff outside to see but there some interesting things to read about outside.

Alison Likespickles

It was really bright to look at... But then again, it IS a giant Nickel. It was cool to see the old design, there was lots to read and learn. There was a nice view and lots of space to take pictures from different angles.

Chris Parker

It's a big nickel, alright

Андрей Смирнов

(Translated) The size of the coin is impressive, and so is the museum. (Original) Впечатляет размер монеты, и музей тоже.

Sean Brock

Nickle needs a good cleaning

May Miao

(Translated) Huge coin, worth a visit. (Original) 巨大的钱币，值得一去。

Haggis McBeastie

A Canadian Classic! No trip to Northern Ontario is complete without a selfie in front of giant currency.

Amit Brahme

Huge, magnificent and worth the visit.

ROLLIE CAT

Nice to learn about the area's mining history - the clear traces of the Nickel industry's flourishing past and its present economic status. Moreso, it is good to know how Cosmogalactic visitations have contributed to the geographical shape of the area's crater-formed terrain. The Big Nickel therefore is a good reminder of its being a by-product of Greater Sudbury's once prehistoric event.

Susan Edwards

Just the large nickle ......cook.

Sushil Kumar

A very nice place to remind us of the history of the Nickel

Allan Greentree

Unfortunately when we were there the museum was closed but we did get to walk around we did enjoy seeing the big nickel . Is an interesting place.

Kent Campbell

Have wanted to see this for tears

Yury Karyuk

It's big and still shiny. I guess it is a real nickel.

Interesting to see, and the glaciated rock, but we were out of season so could only look around outside.

Tommy Phan

Just seeing a Canadian wonder is a amazing!

Chingguchkook

Was very cool actually

It's big. Good for a quick visit as currently with COVID restrictions the visitor's center is closed for the rest of 2020.

Bill Foster

This attraction delivers on its name, it's a BIG NICKLE!

Orysia Meouch

Situated near a science museum on the top of the hill, it gives you a nice view over the city and the famous nickel mining smoke stack

David Oppong

I thought it would be bigger but maybe as a child it would be giant. Good trip for people with young children

Mitch Savoy

Beautiful spot

Mark Alarie

Very nice place to visit

Alex Wells (Wellznation)

Very cool location. I just wish the museum and play area were open.

Marie-Ève D

Cute attraction, very nice for the kids and the rest.

Jagdeep Jassi

Delivers exactly what it promises. Makes for a cool photo op. Can park right by it and walk up to it.

Mike H

Have driven by Sudbury a few times, but never visited. This is kind've a cheesy Canadian Bucket List checkmark for me. The museum itself was already closed, but luckily, you can still drive right up to the Big Nickel itself for photos. It's a nickel and it's big. Tick!

Arun

Nice place for a quick visit. If only visiting big nickel, no need to take ticket for dynamic earth.

Mandy Campbell

Nothing spectacular but something to say you have seen as canadian/ontarian.

Jordan Gillespie

loved going here!

richard

Very interesting and informative. Well worth the stop.

George Russell

Loved it. Great photos and I visited during the Halloween season. They did it up with lots of seasonal pumpkin displays and a fun little Halloween tour in the evening.

Alex Kilcup

Super cool and unique to see and learning the history of this part of Ontario

Museum is not open so the nickel is all you see.

Nickel was neat but closed when we visited. Very sad they can't even shovel a path in the winter.

Sabesan Selvadurai

(Translated) The big nickel its really big and nice! And its super fun to take pictures with the big nickel! And inside the playground is SUPER FUN !!!! it has bubbles seed bombs slides and more !!!! A place to visit if you go to Sudbury or through Sudbury. Half an hour is enough. (Original) The big nickel its really big and nice! And its super fun to take pictures with the big nickel! And inside the playground is SUPER FUN!!!! it has bubbles seed bombs slides and more!!!! நீங்கள் Sudbury சென்றாலோ அல்லது Sudbury ஊடாக சென்றாலோ சென்று பார்வையிட வேண்டிய ஒரு இடம். அரை மணி நேரம் போதுமானது.

Don Freeman

Nothing else there open

J Scnitzel

Standard tourist attraction

Steven W

Quite the massive nickel. You can see if from pretty far away and its gigantic when you are up close. Lots of parking on no crowds when I went in mid september.

Aisha Abbasi

Picnic area, good scenery

Yvonne Alexander

Was interesting

Helen Stopps

Lots of parking, the big nickel is cool, there's also trails and a children's playground

Randianne Geerts

We took our kids but unfortunately due to Covid protocols they exceeded thier number of visitors for they day. It was spontaneous on our part so one must call ahead of time and reserve your spots.

Darlene McBride

It was closed when we went but nice to see the big nickel! Looks like a very interesting place.

Sherlock Holmes

Still looks the same with 50 years inbetween visits!

Bree Gordon

Very historical

Corina S

A worthy stop if you find yourself around Sudbury. It is very cool way to commemorate the 1951 Canadian Nickel coin. After seeing the giant Toonie in Campbellford, I had make a pit stop to see the Big Nickel as well, and I was not disappointed.

Johnny Zhang

My wife didn't like it.

John Murray

It's big.

Kay Dim

Big, freakin' Nickel!

Sandy Ewart

I previously visited the big nickel when I was 19 so it was interesting to come back again all these years later. Sadly the mine was closed but understandably with Covid. My daughter enjoyed looking at various rocks around the site as well.

Joe Ott

Not open in the winter but super cool

Benoît Laganière

Nice place to visit. Very big nickel! A must see in Sudbury.

Anand Anthraper

Go Sudbury Go!

Derrick Reinhardt

Best ever

Cory Vale

Obviously the Big Nickel is a bit cheesy, but it's on a high point and provides a great view of Sudbury.

Colin Tyler

Finally after 40 years of visiting Sudbury we visited the Big Nickel!

Gsilber@google.com Logan444

We loved seeing this on a windy day during a Covid relocation drive. I first came here on a school trip. The Nickel seemed so much larger then.

ning gu

Must see in Sudbury.

Ken Brent Sr.

Had a hard time finding it. I Wish they would stop moving it.

Alyssa Chartrand

Super fun stop on our road trip! Well maintained and clean facilities. Mini put, museum, lots of places for photos and a huge parking lot.

Sam deZ

Nicely maintained area. Lots of parking and beatiful views.

Rick Warren

Tad disappointed as it was closed inside due to decorating for Halloween, until Oct 1st. Met a few more visitors, some making the trip as far as Niagara Falls and Ottawa. At least we had the "Big Nickel" to observe

Andrea H

Scenic. Real Canada. Tallest smokestack in the world right next door.

Peter C

We went when Dynamic Earth was closed for the season, but you're still able to drive into the parking lot to see the Big Nickel

JONGWON LEE

Land mark of Sudbury

Carter Teman

good nickel! looked cool, very big

Kym Ramsay

Dynamic Earth and the Big Nickel were awesome! My kids loved it! Lots of interactive displays and an outdoor science park. If you're a rockhound it's definitely the place to be. The mine tour was amazing!

Marc-Antoine Talbot

The nickel is big

Usman Butt

It's a billboard of a nickle.

Mathieu Poitras

The best museum in town, loved it

s Freeman

Good to see the Big Nickle. A sign of prosperous times

This's my first time to the Big Nickel which is definitely a must see. The view was amazing, I would recommend friends, colleagues, family members to visit the Big Nickel and history about the town.

Rob Dekker

Awsome place cool for the kids

Lu Mullins

Nice place but was closed

Joanne Weatherbee

Even though we were there during the week (only open weekends) everyone enjoyed looking and learning about all there was to see

Eric Therrien

Quiet area at this time and a good view of the city

Dele O

A MUST visit site. The views was one of the selling points. Absolutely gorgeous!

Dheeraj Chaudhary

Awesome

Zhang Lu

OK

Tawnya Reid

While in Sudbury you have to go see the nickel

Dakota Andronik

It is truly a big nickel

John Rodgers

It's a shame that the mining companies in Sudbury have not taken more of an interest in preserving the natural beauty surrounding this city.

Matthew Webb

When we will adjust for inflation and update it to a big dime?

Anshul Shah

Good lookout spot

Steven Young

Good. Not too many panickers.
