    Loads of fun with my family around the tower to the stadium and to the aquarium / museum all in one breathe without skipping

    Warning, it will be busy.
    It's a market packed with a large variety of stalls, cheese, meat, fruit and vegetables, incredible desserts and still so much more.
    It's probably better experienced if you'll have access to a kitchen, but for tourists passing through there is still plenty to purchase here.

    I didn't think this was as big as it was, very nice, staff informative! Found out from security lady that two new sharks were put in the main big tank you see when you first come in, the reason you can tell they're new is because they will have a tag on them so to monitor the fish, to see that they're adapting well to new environment 😉 fun place much to see! We spent about 2 and half hours in establishment, had a nice big pretzel too at snack convenience store,restaurant. Parking is about a 5min walk you can look it up, very easy to get around. I recommend this aquarium for families, alone or couples. Enjoy!

    It is a great place to take your children to as well they have beaches ⛱️ that you can go to. Highly recommend it if you want to go to a different beach ⛱️ 😎 as well if you want to go to Centerville park for the different tides that they have there.

    Beautiful castle that needs at least 2-3 hours to explore it from top to bottom. Several movies were filmed in this location and I specifically enjoyed the 3rd floor photos and archives. Well, the garage has 6 luxury cars in excellent shape. I recommend it

    The contents of the museum are incredible. We did find the map hard to follow because it wasn't always easy to determine where we were on the map in order to know which direction to head next. Also, from an accessibility viewpoint, there were not enough benches, particularly in the Greek/Roman/Egypt area. I have a disability and was struggling and keeping an eye out for them and they just weren't appearing. Strangely, at the entrance to the China section there was such a plethora of assorted benches and seats in such a small area that I was trying to comprehend if it was meant as a gathering place (though it didn't seem like that).

    We went because of the Taylor Swift scavenger hunt (now over) and were so glad we did! The market had a lovely atmosphere. We loved all of the holiday decorations. The scavenger hunt itself was fun and encouraged us to visit everywhere within the market. Many places for holiday photos. We bought some cookies and treats to take home with us. There was tons of good food and drink options; however, we had just come from brunch, so we weren't hungry. We got there early enough on a weekend that we did not have to pay an entrance fee (online it said you had to pay an entry fee after noon, but we got there around 12:30 and did not have to pay). If we lived in Toronto, we would definitely go back.

    A must for any hockey fan. This is a really thorough, clean, and well kept museum. Buying tickets was extremely easy, finding the entrance required asking a few people and following the signs. All of the displays have really well written verbiage and everything was spotless. A map would have been very helpful to find our way around. There are so many rooms dedicated to different generations of hockey and how the sport has evolved. So many well decorated hockey stars are memorialized here with mementos of their gear displayed with their write ups and pictures. Seeing The Stanley Cup was obviously a highlight. They have 2 cups that they rotate between the winning team and the museum. Lord Stanley's vault was very special. We even watched the 3D movie, which the kids loved, and was very well done. Their gift shop is well stocked with something for everyone.

    We had dinner last night in the Bistro of the Art Gallery of Ontario and it was very pleasant. There was a 50% discount on our bottle of wine which bought it down to 29$. I had the two course fixed price menu at 39$ and for this I had fresh Tomato and coriander Soup followed by Sirlion Steak with a peppercorn sauce and fries. Both were very tasty and pleasant. My friend had the Salmon Niscoise which she rated very highly. The bistro was a pleasant place to eat and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend a visit here especially on a Wednesday evening.

    The space the brewery is hosted in - an old train yard - is super cool. We really enjoyed just walking around before/after we ate. We were only having a small lunch so this was a good spot for it. I enjoyed the beer, the pretzel and the dip I had and everything came to a fair price

    It’s pretty well organized getting inside, despite the way the size of the crowd looks like when you’re waiting. It’s easy to get around with plenty of bathroom facilities. The drinks are overpriced, as expected. Good acoustics for a stadium. And it looks really cool once the sun goes down and the CN Tower is all lit up

    It's very good if you like malls. I personally don't. I was there with my teen. We ate in the food court, which was crazy expensive. All of the stores are name brands and the prices are higher than on their websites. Still, it's ginormous and something to see. It's an easy walk from Nathan Phillips Square after getting your photo with the Toronto sign.

    This is the place to be in Toronto for a lot of vintage shops in close proximity. We're big thrifters, so we enjoyed this area. Your mileage may vary. It's a fun, vibrant, artsy, and not quite as expensive area of Toronto.

    Great playground and splash pad. The kids had fun! The park is free! Only bad thing was the restrooms were hard to find. Only porta potties by the splash pad. Kinda gross.

    Toronto has something for everyone, from the vibrant Entertainment District to the multicultural food scene in Kensington Market. The CN Tower and Ripley’s Aquarium are must-see spots, and St. Lawrence Market is perfect for food lovers. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Toronto Island and High Park are excellent options.
    I did not visit the Toronto Public Library (we spend the whole day at the Royal Ontario Museum), but I strongly recomend it, is a must for reading lovers. It is amazing. Everything is near. You can go walking, by bus or UBER.

    Staying near the CN Tower, such as in the Airbnb options at 300 Front, offers stunning views and an ideal location for exploring the city. Definitely an experience worth having!
