- Emma G2 contributionsSt. Lawrence Market in Toronto is a vibrant hub of culture, food, and history. Known as one of the best markets in the world, it offers a delightful array of fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, baked goods, and specialty items.Written January 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- capdapMiami, FL31 contributionsBest thing I did in Toronto hands down! The castle is massive and you have access to so much. Very interactive, a lot of walking and stairs. The towers have very narrow spiral stairs so be aware of that since it’s the only way up. Every time I thought I was done I would find another floor or room to explore. Easily spend 2-3 hours here.Written January 12, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- bcsystemsAnn Arbor, MI5,289 contributionsThe ROM is 4 levels of diverse art, history and natural displays. I found the ROM more family friendly given the natural history artifacts would be of more interest to young children. If you are are traditional art lover looking for paintings and scupltures, I found the ROM lacking.Written January 3, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravelozzyBicester, UK1,096 contributionsI’m not a well versed hockey fan, I mean i know who Gretzky and Tim Horton are but that’s about it, but the family love the game and wanted to visit, so I happily came along.
I found it really interesting and very cool! Even I came over a bit ‘fan girl’ when we got to pose with the Stanley cup!
Brilliant insight into Canada’s national sport - definitely worth an hour or so of your time and great value too.Written January 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The monumental glass and titanium facade was designed by Toronto native, Frank Gehry. Be sure to take a pause in the light and airy Walker Court to admire Gehry's baroque-inspired spiral staircase.
The Canadian Collection includes works by the Group of Seven, a group of early-20th-century landscapers painters. The AGO also includes works by Rembrandt, Warhol, Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Degas, Matisse and many others.Written December 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The place is highly recommended. I look forward to another visit.Written October 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Josh K56 contributionsThe food was amazing and the brewery beer was phenomenal, it is right next to the railroad museum.

- Josh K56 contributionsI saw the Toronto vs Houston game, food and beer were priced. Great stadium to visit it is one of my favorites. Blues Jays are a fun team.Written December 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LexiVCleveland, OH1,743 contributionsIt'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.Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- César RPanama City, Panama3 contributionsToronto 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!Written November 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We took the Go to Union Station and walked to the theatre. We stopped to eat at The Loose Moose and it was fabulous. The Royal Alex has nice seats and they are a decent size. A larger/taller person could be comfortable here.Written March 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- baroomMississauga, Canada3,244 contributionsWe're aware of the PATH but not really familiar with it. For years, the only section of the PATH we knew was the SkyWalk bridge from Union Station to Metro Toronto Convention Centre to get to CN Tower or Ripley's Aquarium. I've always wanted to explore the underground PATH but then time I look at the map and I change my mind. It seems easier to just navigate the streets outside since we're already familiar with the street names. So the few times we're at Union Station, we'd either immediately go to street level or ride the subway.
Last Dec though, while planning the route for our annual trek downtown to check out the festive displays, I decided to do a Google Search on the PATH. As luck would have it, I found a recent Metrolinx post complete with video and step-by-step guide on our intended route: Union Station to Toronto Eaton Centre. I watched the video at least twice then downloaded the PDF map and took photos of directional signs and landmarks to look for.
On the day of our outing, we made a beeline for the PATH after getting off the Go train at Union Station. We headed towards the TTC subway station then quickly veered to the left tunnel so we could follow the PATH that would lead us to Toronto Eaton Centre. On our way there and back, we got lost once, doubled back, found our way then made several detours which included Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Brookfield Place and Scotia Plaza.
Our walk turned out to be somewhat shorter and a lot more convenient as we didn't have to be out in the cold unless we went above ground. The underground PATH was clean and well lit--we felt safe while here, especially since most areas we passed were stores or food courts. On our return walk around 6PM, most of them were closed for the day.
I doubt we would have taken this underground route if we didn't have a clear visual guide to follow. The PATH is definitely a maze. There are just too many building names to remember. No cellular service as well so no GPS but that is expected.
Overall, I'm glad that we finally checked it out after all these years. We'll use the PATH again for sure.Written January 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The actors, dancers, and musicians performed with such passion. The attention to detail, from the set design to the lighting, creates an immersive experience.
This production is a must-see for all ages.Written January 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
