- GrahamP113Witham, UK2,016 contributionsA great way to spend the day away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto. Hired a two seater bike and also had a stroll around. Unfortunately Centreville was closed but saw the small animal farm before returning back to main city.

- Evie B1 contributionI went with my 14 year old sons his friends and my 10 year old daughter. I thought I was fairly scary but my daughter thought I’d was fun but not that scary she now wants to go for the non family hours this year with her friends . Last time I went it was scary but I can’t send them in alone for they are only in grade 7. Overall it was really fun and looking forward to sending the husband in with them this year.Written September 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LexiVCleveland, OH1,682 contributionsThis museum seems to be an interesting combination of a natural history museum and an art museum. It's huge; even with some areas currently closed for remodeling, it takes several hours to see everything. It must be even longer with the special, additional tickets required, exhibitions, which we did not do. We found a lot to enjoy here, but it is a very eclectic collection. We had lunch here in the café on the first floor, which was well priced and delicious. While we were eating, there was an opera singer with accompaniment in the lobby, which was very enjoyable. I would like to return when the current renovations are completed.Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steve BPetersfield, UK481 contributionsWhat a lovely historic area. A great mixture of individual shops, cafes and culture. Our first day in Toronto and we left impressed. Not too hot on the massive skyscrapers but this area was a win-win.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ana Carolina B1 contributionIt was an incredible experience from the beginning, I can't describe the feeling of walking into a magical little world made from the heart. I had a great reception which made everything even better. Thank you little Canada!!! Thank you JL!Written September 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- qwuirk169 contributionsWe stopped here on a whim as we saw the signs for the Kaws exhibit. The exhibit was amazing and fun to look at, especially with the pop culture references.
Other than Kaws, we also really liked the artwork of First Nations, indigenous, and Canadian artists on the first and second floors. There’s so much to explore here, and the collection is truly beautiful and impressive.
I personally think the fourth and fifth floors were skippable unless you really like contemporary art and need to see that Rothko painting.Written July 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Highly recommended for everyone.Written August 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Angela C229 contributionsSuch an amazing place. So many things to see. So much history. Even if you are not a fan of hockey, the place has so much to read and learn about all the years of hockey and all the players. You can spend several hours here and still not be bored! I loved the whole area with the mascots and the helmets. Astounding! The Tim Hortons in the mall has a bunch of stuff to see too so don't miss it. The entrance is behind the escalator BTW... The gift shop has SOOO much. Oh and get the souvenir book when you come in. Its $5 and you can give it to someone as a souvenir!Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Flyer308109219233 contributionsSpent an entire day at the Zoo and was completey exhausted at the end! It is a LOT of walking on a hot day, I was grateful for the misting stations. Some animals were not viewable but there were still plenty of other great animals to see. For some reason there were a lot of turtles in almost every area lol. I would probably do the Zoomobile next time, it's too bad they charge extra for it though. If you are pressed for time or not up to as much walking I would recommend skipping the Canadian Domain. It is a STEEP walk down to that area and it's a hard trek back up. There should almost be warning signs so people are aware, it's difficult with a stroller or wagon or for people not in great shape. I was surprised at how much alcohol was for sale, I'd rather have more misting stations and less alcohol. Overall an expensive but great day!Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LexiVCleveland, OH1,682 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.

- ssborrowSan Antonio, TX41 contributionsGreat 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.Written August 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JubinhaSeattle, WA539 contributionsUnfortunately, we visit almost at the closing time. But we could see all the floors. Amazing ceiling and great space for study, So organized and offers so many activities. SO worth the visit.Written September 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LexiVCleveland, OH1,682 contributionsThis 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.Written September 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brian B6 contributionsGreat layout and views. The trails were well laid out and the environment was very well preserved.
It was very peaceful and serene.Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
