Hey guys, so I'm going to be headed to Toronto for like 3-4 days right before my college days starts up again, and was wondering if any of you know of any cool places to check out? Been looking online and found this $50 citypass deal that includes admissions to: CN Tower, Royal Ontario Museum, Casa Loma, Toronto Zoo, and Ontario Science Centre Don't really care for the zoo, but the CN Tower, and the Royal Ontario Museum, and Casa Loma look amazing! Also plan on hitting up the Niagara falls and Ripley's Aquarium. Again, limited amount of time..what should my priorities be for anyone who's been?
Where are you staying? I was at the HI-Toronto, and it was pretty nice for a hostel. I wanted to tour the steamwhistle brewery when I was there, but didn't get the chance. I'd recommend that. There's a few good bars in Toronto too. I highly recommend a little bar called Wide Open. It was dirt cheap and they always have specials.
I'd recommend taking the ferry to toronto island park and just exploring if you have time for a relaxing day, but sounds like you may be rushed.. Nice views of the city too. Spoiler
If you go to The Orbit Room, then you might run into Alex Lifeson of Rush (he is co-owner of the bar). Tell him Surfguy says hello!
Kensington Market is a really cool, Bohemian-style area with lots of really good restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and art galleries. I'd recommend taking a stroll, and ducking into a place for lunch or dinner. I proposed to my wife in the atrium inside Casa Loma, so I'll always have a personal reason why I love it, but I'd highly recommend checking it out. It's a cool piece of Toronto history.
