Travel through the town may be done on foot, but the increasingly sprawling nature of the town necessitates car travel. Durham Transit provides intermittent shuttle service between Uxbridge, Port Perry, and north Oshawa. GO buses connect Uxbridge to Stouffville, allowing access to Toronto. Some limited taxi service is available. The traditional 'downtown' is demarcated by an area known as the Four Corners, which delineates the intersection of Hwy. 47 (Toronto Street) with Durham Road 8 (Brock Street).
The '''Thomas Foster Memorial''' is a mausoleum built by a wealthy citizen, and was designed to replicate the famous Taj Mahal palace of India.

The '''Roxy Theatre'''s provides Uxbridge with first and second run movies. '''Uxbridge Bowl''' delivers both 5 and 10 pin bowling, and caters to birthday parties. The first weekend of September following Labour Day brings the '''Uxbridge Fair''', housed at the Elgin Park fairgrounds. The Uxpool is the town's public pool, which also houses squash courts.
