The CN Tower
Take in the city from the top of this famous landmark. Still one of the tallest structures in the world after over 30 years, the 360 degree restaurant can be reached after a lightning fast 58 second lift journey.
Toronto Zoo
As Canada’s pre-eminent zoo, Toronto zoo is famous for its interactive, educational approach. Over 5,000 animals made up of over 500 species attract nearly one and a half million people every year.
Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO)
Founded in 1900 as the Art Museum of Toronto and one of the largest galleries in the whole of North America, the AGO is well worth a visit. Whether it is to view Canada’s art heritage (of which it houses some 40%) or to see works from the European masters there is something for everyone.
The Playdium
Just outside Toronto in Mississauga is the Playdium which hosts individual and party guests and provides them with the latest in entertainment; be it outdoor fun or video games the choice is huge.
Toronto Harbour Cruises
One of the best ways to see the many points of interest of Toronto is a river cruise. These range from sailboats to yachts; can be seasonally themed like the Christmas cruises and will fit almost any budget.
Ontario Science Centre
After recently undergoing a large budget renovation, the Ontario Science Centre should be even more of a draw for those with a scientific leaning. After 40 years of existence and over 40million visitors, the centre is not only one of Canada’s most visited sites but is also one of the world’s first interactive science museums.
Casa Loma
Constructed on a hill overlooking Toronto by financier and industrialist Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, Casa Loma is one man’s dream of a medieval castle. It took 300 men and three years to complete at an astonishing cost of $3.5million back in 1911. Financial misfortune meant that Sir Henry was only able to enjoy it for 10 years but the castle and the gardens are open for the public to enjoy year-round.
