Things to Do
A city with more than one downtown.
Toronto isn't a single afternoon of postcards. It's a slow-build city that rewards visitors who mix a landmark with a neighbourhood, a museum with a market meal.
Cultural Toronto
The ROM, the AGO, TIFF Bell Lightbox and the Mirvish theatre district anchor a year-round cultural calendar. Book major exhibitions in advance.
Waterfront & Islands
A 13-minute ferry from downtown lands you on car-free islands with the city's best skyline view. Check the current ferry schedule before you go.
Icons at their best
The CN Tower at blue hour, Casa Loma in autumn, Nathan Phillips Square skating on a Friday night. The postcard shots, done right.
Family-friendly
Bringing the kids.
- Ripley's Aquarium of CanadaAt the base of the CN Tower. Book timed entry to skip the biggest queues.
- Toronto ZooA full day out in Scarborough. Bring layers and a stroller-friendly plan.
- Ontario Science CentreHands-on exhibits and IMAX; check for current closures before you plan a visit.
- Toronto IslandsBikes, beaches and Centreville amusement park in summer. Ferry-first planning.
Current-conditions reminder
