Best Things To Do in Toronto, Canada

  1. B A P S Shri Swaminarayan Mandir

    Religious Site, Temple

    Styled after the havelis found in 17th century royal courts in India, the temple has several architecturally pleasing features. Musicians, poets and dancers are carved into the wooden portico; there’s a huge courtyard of teak and rosewood columns with mythological carvings; a cultural center, an gymnasium and an assembly hall. The Heritage museum at the mandir exhibits the historical sign...Read more

    Brookfield Place

    Mall, Shopping Center

    This grand business complex of 2.6 million square feet of office and retail space is probably the crowning jewel of Bay Street. The immediate standouts are, of course, the Bay Wellington Tower and the TD Canada Trust Tower, but beyond some striking photographs they don’t offer much. Rather, the unmissable highlight of this place is the Crystal Cathedral of Commerce a.k.a the Allen Lambert...Read more

    Maple Leaf Gardens

    Arena, Entertainment, Concert

    This historic 1931 building is thought to be the mecca of ice-hockey in Canada, perhaps even the world, and for a long time was home to the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. Today it is no longer used for large matches; the NHL-size Mattamy Home Ice ice rink that seats 2300 spectators is a far cry from the 15,000 people that used to fill the halls. Today it is used as a concert...Read more

    Mackenzie House

    Museum

    This was the home of Toronto's First Mayor, William Lyon Mackenzie, who lived here from 1935 to 1937, when he was exiled to USA. He returned home in 1958 and stayed until his death in 1951. Today the Georgian style building is run as a historic house museum that focuses on Victorian life in the 1860s. Check the museum website for upcoming events.
  5. Toronto Railway Museum

    Toronto Railway Museum

    Museum, Specialty Museum

    While this is not the greatest railway museum in the world it is fairly representative of Toronto and Ontario’s rail transportation history. Some restored historic locomotives, old uniforms, a 1950s themed train simulator, and a miniature train ride are all that are needed to help kids engage with this museum. It’s a small but cute addition to Roundhouse Park.
  6. Trinity Bellwoods Park

    Trinity Bellwoods Park

    Park, Picnic Spot

    This is a simple but fun neighborhood sports park built on the site of a filled in ravine. Amenities include ball diamonds, tennis courts, volleyball courts, an ice rink, drinking fountain, washrooms, bike trails, an off leash area for dogs, a wading pool, picnic spots and a playground. On summer Tuesdays the park organises a farmer’s market. Portugal Day is celebrated here. The park has ...Read more
  7. Fantasy Fair At Woodbine Centre

    Shopping Center

    Once the parents have had their kids at this not insubstantial shopping mall of 130 stores, the kids can finally drag them over this indoor amusement park of nine fun rides. Get a quick overview of the park on the Fantasy Fair Express; ride thi Antique Carousel; take around on the 50 foot Ferris Wheel; check out the soft play area; the spinning cups rides never get old; fly in either a balloon ...Read more

    Dufferin Mall

    Shopping Center

    This is a huge shopping center with 567,000 square feet of retail space. It has around 120 shops and stores that primarily serve the population of West End of Toronto. The prices of the shops and restaurants are all affordable. There is nothing special about it. It is identical to large neighborhood malls everywhere - functional and fun. Check the mall website to know about upcoming events.
  9. Humber Bay Park East And West

    Park

    This is a rather curious attraction on Lake Shore Boulevard West, just beyond the Consulate General of Ukraine. The park consists of two landspits cleaved into east and west sections by the waters of the lake. The west section is good for dog walking, birdwatching, and hiking - simple but profound pleasures. The east section is similar but for the additional feature of being a Butterfly Habitat...Read more

    Textile Museum Of Canada

    Museum, Exhibition

    This museum explores 2000 years of human history in over 200 different regions by looking at one thing only - textiles.

    Sugar Beach Park

    Waterfront, Park

    Calling this place a beach is a bit misleading. Yes, there is sand, but there is no means of wading or swimming into the lake. It functions a lot more as a waterfront hangout, with benches, chairs and standing umbrellas laid out invitingly along the water, calling to you to relax and unwind. It’s a really tiny beach, which makes it charming. Events are sometimes held at the small park pla...Read more
  12. Rouge Valley Conservation Centre

    Park, Adventure

    This park is so huge and so surely gaining in popularity that it almost certainly will become Canada’s first urban national park. There’s over 40 square kilometres of trails, wetlands, wilderness, beaches, farmlands, creeks, golf courses, hills, marshes, viewpoints and forest to explore, all bursting with hundreds of species of flora and fauna. The main activity here is hiking. The ...Read more

    St. Michael's Cathedral

    Cathedral

    Completed in 1848 on financing provided by Irish immigrants, based on a English Gothic Revival design by architect William Thomas, this church represents the country’s largest English-speaking Catholic diocese. The townspeople famously dug the cathedral’s foundation out by hand. The high altar is on the eastern side of the church, facing Jerusalem. The tower spire reaches 79 metres ...Read more

    Guild Park And Gardens

    Garden, Park, Leisure

    This is at once one of Toronto’s most curious and intriguing attractions. In essence, it is a flower and sculpture garden, but the mystique lies in the garden’s origins. It is a failed artists colony that transformed into a sort of memorial of Toronto’s demolished buildings. For that’s what makes up the sculptures and monuments here - the leftovers of Old Toronto. These ...Read more

    Princess Of Wales Theatre

    Theatre

    Named after Diana, Princess of Wales, opened in 1993, built to seat 1000, and set up to deliver the state-of-the-art of musical theatre experiences, this is fast on its way to become Toronto’s favourite stage hall. Heavyweight productions have been performed to tremendous acclaim here, including The Lord of the Rings,  Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Les Misérables, Hairs...Read more
