In and around the centre of Midland there are a number of murals which were painted by Fred Lenz. The largest is on the silos overlooking the main harbour.The murals of Midland are one of Ontario's largest and most beautiful outdoor galleries. Inspired by the murals of Chemanius, B.C. the Midland mural program was initiated in 1990 by the merchants of the Downtown Midland Business Improvement Association. Today the murals include 35 finely detailed paintings, including the largest historic outdoor mural in North America, located across from Midland's Harbourfront Park at the goot of Downtown Midland. Earch mural represents a significant time in the history of the Georgian Bay area. Many tell the story of Midland's pioneers and business leaders.

Notable sites in or near Midland include the Jesuit mission of Sainte Marie Among the Hurons, which is now a living museum depicting missionary life in the 17th century, and the Martyrs' Shrine, a Roman Catholic church commemorating the Canadian Martyrs,  five missionaries from Sainte-Marie who were martyred during the Huron-Iroquois wars, and the Huronia museum. Unfortunately, the Indian Village outside the Huronia Museum recently suffered a case of arson, in which one third of the village was destroyed. Reconstruction of the village is now underway and the village has re-opened to the public.

The Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre is nearby. The marsh provides habitat for Trumpeter Swans, Black Terns and Least Bitterns. The trumpeter swan is considered a symbol of Midland and a large statue of one has been erected by the harbor.
