    St. 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.

    iconic building, really great views from the top especially on a clear day. view of the city as well as the Great Lake. we were lucky enough to be able to see the US side as well since it was very clear. the tickets are a bit pricey. and for people with vertigo (like me), the glass elevators can be jarring. but once at the top, you don't feel worried about this any more. remember to go to the lower deck for some extra views that people often miss!

    This is really the place to learn about the wide variety of marine and amphibious life in both Canada and around the world.

    Here you'll learn about the marine life of our rivers and lakes...and our oceans.

    In addition to learning, it's an opportunity to meet people from around the world, including Spanish-speaking people from Latin America. In fact Spanish is one of the official languages of Ripley's Aquarium.

    The aquariums only downside is the food options at the Ripley's Cafe. The food sold is a little pricey, and the food choices are limited to, for the most part, junk food. There's much room for improvement.

    We'd recommend that you have bought abd eaten lunch first, then visit the aquarium.

    Best 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.

    Got talked into spending a day on the Toronto Islands. Anyone that knows me, knows that I really don't like traveling to Toronto, easily my least favorite place to be. Finding parking is always a challenge, but once we found a spot, we met up at the water taxis for the ride over. The ride was cheap and the Toronto skyline is best viewed from the water.

    The island itself was very clean and well maintained. The trails are clearly marked with lots of rest stops and a small restaurant/snack bar. We managed to find a nice secluded beach that we had to ourselves. It was really hard to imagine that this was Toronto. Had a really great relaxing fun time here. So good here, it made me like Toronto for a day.

    The 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.

    Came here on Christmas Eve, hoping it wouldn’t be crowded, and we were sorely mistaken. Quite crowded for the day before Christmas, but the holiday magic was alive and well.

    Worth seeing if you’re hoping to get into the holiday spirit. Just don’t wear heels, unless you’re a pro…the cobblestone path is not for the faint of heart.

    I’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.

    The beautiful Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is hard to miss. 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.

    I 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.

    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.

    We enjoyed our day at the Zoo. There is a lot of walking, we clocked 13,500 steps (6 miles).

    I would like to see more animals on display, such as pandas, elephants, and other species that were noticeably absent.
    There is a LOT of construction taking place. Nevertheless it was a beautiful park with some decent folks (volunteers) who answered all our questions.

    It was easy to take the GO Train from Union Station, using the Presto Card for the Senior Citizen rates. Free Transfer to the #200 bus, with Presto Card. Takes about an hour each way.

    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 layout and views. The trails were well laid out and the environment was very well preserved.

    It was very peaceful and serene.
