Tips on renting in Mississauga

Getting Around

Wander along the tranquil shores of Lake Ontario at Port Credit, where the quaint marina beckons with its charming boutiques and gourmet eateries. Savor artisanal delights at The Crossfish or sip fine wines at the iconic Waterside Inn, all while breathing in the crisp lake air.

What to Pack

As the solstice heat of Mississauga envelops visitors, packing for those sun-drenched days is essential. Anticipate balmy afternoons in the high 20s to low 30s Celsius, and bring UV-protective clothing, wide-brimmed sun hats, and lightweight swimsuits. Include breathable fabrics to navigate the cicada-thick heat, but remember a light sweater for sultry dusk by the fire pit. Water shoes are a must for spontaneous lake adventures, while kayaking along the sapphire waters transforms those languid late summer haze days into cherished memories.

Must-Try Activities

Glide across the serene waters of Lake Ontario as the sun kisses the horizon, casting a golden shimmer. Rent a kayak at the quaint Port Credit Marina, where gentle ripples beckon you to explore hidden coves and vibrant wildlife—the perfect escape into nature’s embrace.

Smart Spending Tips

In Mississauga, families can savor an exquisite meal at the upscale Oliver & Bonacini, where dishes average $30 per person. For an unforgettable splurge, consider a scenic boat charter with Mississauga Water Jets at around $125 per person. Balance luxury with adventure by exploring Rattray Marsh's serene trails and stunning waterfront, or diving into the vibrant waters at Lakeshore's public beaches—all free yet unforgettable experiences to cherish together.

Welcome to Mississauga, a vibrant Ontario city where families can create lasting memories together. Start your adventure at Port Credit, known as the “Village on the Lake,” where you can stroll along the picturesque waterfront, enjoy the gentle lapping of waves, and explore the charming shops and eateries. Don’t miss the annual Waterfront Festival in late June, a highlight for both locals and visitors.

For a blend of nature and culture, visit Kariya Park, a serene Japanese-inspired garden in the heart of the city. Wander through lush greenery, cross tranquil bridges, and, in spring, witness the breathtaking cherry blossoms in full bloom. It’s a peaceful retreat where families can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

When the weather turns cooler, head to the Art Gallery of Mississauga, offering free admission to explore diverse contemporary and indigenous art. Engage in interactive exhibits that challenge your perception and spark creativity. With over 18 exhibitions annually, there’s always something new to discover.
