Things to do in Toronto

Obviously there is the excitement of  a wedding to go to, but are tons of other fun things to do and see in Toronto:

  • Little Glenn - The coolest statue in Toronto! We always visit him whenever we get the chance. He can be found here

  • CN Tower - The  tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, enjoy amazing views and a beer at 346m (1,136ft)

 

  • Art Gallery of Ontario - Biggest art museum in Canada & ranked #1 nationally (also where Pia worked after undergrad!)

  • Royal Ontario Museum - Worth it for the dinosaurs!

  • Yonge-Dundas Square - Public Square located in the city centre. Often referred to as Toronto's Time Square. Home to a dirtier version of Hooters, with arguably the best urinals in the world: Shark Club 

  • The Path - 18 miles of pedestrian tunnels that join to form  the world's largest underground shopping complex

  • Eaton Centre - Toronto's biggest shopping centre, featuring over 330 shops

  • Toronto Railway Museum - Located in the the John Street Locomotive Roundhouse, discover the history of the railways in Canada

  • Steamwhistle Brewery Tour - Also located in the the John Street Locomotive Roundhouse,  learn how Canada's Premium Pilsner is made and sample some of the beer

  • Ossington Village/Little Portugal - for some of the best restaurants & shops in Toronto. It happens to be Pia & Ben's neighbourhood & home of their local, The Saint

Things to do outside of downtown Toronto

There are lots of fun things to do in downtown Toronto, but there are also some major attractions in the suburbs and nearby:

  • Niagara Falls - One of the most iconic landmarks in the world. The falls are located about 75 miles south-east of Toronto. Day tours can be booked here or here

 

  • Toronto Zoo - Canada's largest zoo! The zoo has a conservation focus and works to conserve many endangered species. Pia's favourites are the White African Lions

  • Ontario Science Centre - Science museum located outside downtown Toronto. The IMAX theatre usually shows some cool science documentaries and it is a great place to bring kids

  • Legoland - The name pretty much says it all - Lego + land. Located about 30 minutes outside of Toronto. Caveat: all adults (including immature adults) must be accompanied by a minor (17 years old or younger)
