Mississauga is filled with stunning spectacles and scenic sights, but when winter works its magic, there’s something extra special about the city. This winter, explore 10 of Sauga’s most Instagrammable spots and capture the memory of a lifetime.
Kicking off our list is one of Mississauga’s most iconic spots. During winter, Celebration Square is truly a sight to behold, especially when the snow gently falls on the picture-perfect outdoor ice-skating rink while the city lights shine in the background. You’ll also want to have your camera ready for some selfies on the heated patio while you lounge on the classic and colourful Adirondack chairs. During your visit, make sure to check out The Book, an iconic statue in the Square that’s the centrepiece of many snapshots.
Trick your friends with optical illusions as you shrink, levitate and bend reality at this magical museum. With dozens of mind-bending photo-ops, this is a fun spot to escape the cold – and even reality.
Add some spice to your winter at one of Mississauga’s most beautifully designed restaurants, where every detail of the dining experience is photo-worthy. Here, the gourmet Indian cuisine is thoughtfully served in luxe culinary displays that create gastronomic illusions. With a curated menu as delicious as it is aesthetic, you’ll want to remember every moment.
4. The Port Credit Lighthouse
Picture this: a snow-dusted lighthouse overlooking a glimmering lake. You can find this view in the heart of Port Credit. Visit this classic landmark at sunset for the most beautiful view as the lighthouse gets lit up, and don’t forget to check out the newly installed snowflake display while you’re there.
With frosted forest trails and a scenic lookout from the pedestrian bridge atop the Credit River, Erindale Park is easily one of the most beautiful sights in Mississauga during the wintertime. Whether you amble along the water or strike out for a longer winter hike, you’ll want to have your camera ready for the many striking vistas.

Take a walk through this charming village and you’ll be treated to sights of snowy storefronts right out of a holiday special. The quaint shops, historic buildings and seasonal streetscape decorations are as picturesque as you could hope for. Grab your camera, hit some shops, and enjoy being the main character in your own wintery (Instagram) story.
When it’s too cold to enjoy the outdoors, experience art at the AGM instead. This free museum features exhibits from artists across Canada and the world. Visit between January 27 and April 7 to see the special exhibition from artist Olivia Whetung, who is Anishinaabekwe and a member of Curve Lake First Nation.
Don your jersey and get ready to root for the Raptors 905 or the Mississauga Steelheads at an epic home game. Capture the action as our local legends fight for glory against fellow future pros. You might even get a selfie with the mascot!
What’s more photogenic than local flora and fauna? The view of Riverwood’s historic buildings might come close, but nothing compares to spotting the brightly coloured birds that call the Conservancy home, or spotting deer peeking through snow-covered woods. You’ll have to be fast to snap these shots, but the amazing photos of the most scenic natural spot in Mississauga will be completely worth it.
