Took a day trip to Algonquin Park with Parkbus. This company offers trips to the park and has a contract to drop-off at seven locations. They pick-up on Asquith Ave. in the Bloor/Yonge area and have a quick break stop at the Onroute Barrie. This is a 20 minute stop so be advised that you only have time to purchase a meal and eat on the bus. As mentioned, the bus service has an agreement with the park to only serve seven stops, but all stops enable guests ample time to explore the destination. This service usually operates seasonally on weekends and although it is geared for campers, a significant discount is offered for day trippers. This is a highly recommended trip for those that appreciate spending time in nature minus distractions. Check their website, parkbus.ca and sign-up to the list to get discounts.
