Allan Gardens

Orientation & Geography

North America, Canada, Toronto

A great place any time of the year, but especially in winter when you are longing for a little green space. Tropical gardens and even desert plants all in greenhouse spaces that are warm and humid.

Casa Loma

Entertainment & Arts

North America, Canada, Toronto

Wear comfortable clothing and shoes as you will walk a lot and climb and descend a lot of stairs. Make sure to dedicate at least three hours for the full tour including the horse stables, greenhouse, car collection, and towers.

CN Tower

Entertainment & Arts

North America, Canada, Toronto

If you like taking photos, this is the place to be. Visit early on a clear day and you'll hit the tower before people wake up. And for the ultimate experience, walk up the stairs.

Fort York

Entertainment & Arts

North America, Canada, Toronto

There are hourly tours that are given by a person in period dress. It's actually not a tour around the Fort, but rather a short presentation and Q&A about some aspects of the war.

Canada's Wonderland

Entertainment & Arts

North America, Canada, York Region

The best ride at Canada's Wonderland and the fastest and tallest roller coaster in Canada is the Leviathan. Its highest drop is at 306 ft (94 m) and the fastest speed is 148 km/h. The line ups are usually long but it’s absolutely worth the wait.
