Since this is your first time here, most tourists of course visit the CN Tower & the glass floor. As mentioned below, The Science Centre is a very cool place. Yes, it's aimed at kids but it's all hands-on exhibits which is v fun (it's located in the 'burbs but easily accessible via public transit). What else? We have the Art Gallery and Royal Ontario Museum -- both buildings are under renovations but are still open to the public. They have designated certain times free admission so that's a plus if the timing works! There's Casa Loma which I just found out is the only castle in North America. The Toronto Zoo is great, too. Niagara Falls is about an hour's drive away with many tour buses travelling between the 2 cities. Niagara is also wine country so if you like to do wine tours, that's the place to go.
I'm gonna stop rambling now :) If you have any questions, I will do my best in answering!
gambling anyone?rawonderlandMay 7 2007, 23:28:05 UTC
*delurk* I don't know how much you or Brian the Art Guy are into gambling, but if you are there is a rather large Indian casino right near Niagara that you could stop at on the way through or back, it's called the Seneca Niagara Casino. I've heard good things about it from my relatives back in NY who are big fans of that sort of thing. I grew up on an Indian Reservation in New York state about an hour from where you're going to be driving through. Hope you enjoy your trip! I'm jealous! -Miranda
