Big Nickel — Attraction in Greater Sudbury

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The Big Nickel: A Monument to Canadian Money, Heartache, and Unforgettable Memories!" After a truly long journey across Canada (and by long, I mean I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every gas station snack in existence), my sister, dog, and I stumbled upon this shining beacon of Canadian pride — The Big Nickel! It's like finding a shiny coin at the end of a road trip rainbow, except instead of pot of gold, you get to take way too many pictures of a giant nickel. Let’s talk about the size of this thing. It's BIG. I mean, HUGE. It’s so big, it almost feels like it’s mocking you for not having as much money as it does. But you know what? I’m not mad about it. The Big Nickel is everything you didn’t know you needed after 48 hours of listening to "Are we there yet?" and "I need to go to the bathroom" on a loop. Also, our dog? She’s now convinced that the Big Nickel is some sort of mystical creature. She spent the entire time barking at it, probably trying to negotiate for treats. You’ll be walking around it, admiring its nickel-y goodness, and your dog will be questioning the universe. Heartwarming? Absolutely. We laughed. We cried. We definitely took too many pictures. But in the end, the Big Nickel in Sudbury gave us a moment to catch our breath and appreciate the small joys of life (and giant coins). 10/10 would recommend as the perfect place to stretch your legs, contemplate the meaning of money, and add one more quirky stop to your cross-country journey.

So, I swung by the Big Nickel in Sudbury, and guys, it’s as cool as they say! It’s this massive nickel coin just standing there, and it’s kinda mind-blowing to see in person. You pretty much have to snap a selfie with it—it’s like an unofficial must-do in Sudbury.

The spot’s chill for a quick visit. It’s not all about the photo op, though. There’s some neat stuff to learn about Canada’s mining history right there, which is cooler than it sounds, trust me. It’s a fun, unexpected history lesson wrapped in a road trip stop.

Everyone around there was super chill and ready to share some fun facts about the place. It’s got a laid-back vibe, perfect for kicking back for a bit, especially if you dig history or just wanna check out something out of the ordinary.

Definitely hit up the Big Nickel if you’re cruising through Sudbury. It’s quirky, fun, and you’ll walk away with some great shots and maybe even learn a thing or two. It’s a legit way to spice...

A Must-See Canadian Landmark!

The Big Nickel is such an iconic and fun stop in Sudbury! Standing next to a giant 30-foot replica of a 1951 nickel is something you don’t do every day. It’s a perfect spot for photos and a quick roadside attraction if you’re passing through.

The science center nearby (Dynamic Earth) adds even more to the experience—especially if you’re with family or interested in geology and mining history. The view from the hill where the Big Nickel is located is also really nice.

Parking is free, and it’s very accessible. Whether you’re a tourist or a local, the Big Nickel is worth a quick visit!
