Toronto

[Vallerina 2]

Looks like my mom and I are heading to Toronto for a weekend within the next few weeks. Does anyone have recommendations on things we must do while there? Thanks!

A few random ideas, although none are "must do's":

--Observation decks on the CN Tower (900' & 1400' up). They do charge a lot, like they're the only 1800' foot tower in town... which they are. The whole thing is maybe not as big deal to a skydiver.

--The city is known for having quite a few theatrical productions including big name ones.

-- Take the old ferries from the waterfront over to Toronto Island. Big parkland. Cool breezes; better if it is still a hot summer's day. They always used to have bike rentals if one wanted to explore the whole length of the island.

-- Until Labour Day (sept 6), the Canadian National Exhibition is on. A variety of stuff going on there, even if it isn't in its heyday like before the internet.

-- Royal Ontario Museum - Various antiquities, dinosaurs.

There are some nice neighbourhoods to wander around in, off the downtown business core, but that gets more complex to describe.

Don't ask any questions at the airport, the security people are snotty and treat everyone like they are stupid!

You probably can get a spanking or two there too!

My wife and I used to drive to Toronto from Michigan on long weekends. There is a lot to do. One thing we found nice was to get a one day Metro Pass. It was around $10 and you could ride all day on the subway or the trams. We would sometimes just hop on any tram that came by and see where we ended up. We found a lot of nice bars that way!
