Some of Oshawa best-kept secrets will be getting a shout-out this week with the release of the first-ever Oshawa Attractions Guide, featuring listings of more than 60 top local attractions to help visitors and residents discover (or re-discover) some of the experiences the city has to offer.
The guide, produced by Oshawa Tourism (a division of the Greater Oshawa Chamber of Commerce) and getting its official release Thursday, provides valuable tips to tailor travel plans in the city, with information on everything from legacy attractions such as Parkwood Estate and NEB’s Fun World to emergent experiences in city’s shopping and nightlife scenes.
It helps each reader “curate’ their journey through the city and, if they’re game, explained Oshawa Tourism Director Krista Licsi, “turn a conventional outing into a personalized adventure.”
“Oshawa is not just a city; it’s a vibrant community rich with a tapestry of cultural, historical, and recreational offerings,” she said. “Our Attractions Guide is crafted to reflect the dynamic and diverse nature of our city while spotlighting our renowned status as the musical epicenter of the Durham Region.”

The guide also invites readers to uncover hidden gems throughout the city, including quaint cafes, unique shops and celebrated museums, galleries, outdoor adventures, and historical sites.
