Visiting Toronto-Great Places To Visit In The Town
From reading the vintage shops in Kensington Market to skating on the outside rink at Harbourfront Centre, Toronto offers visitors dozens of exciting and fun sites and activities. The CN Tower is an excellent spot to start. Found downtown on Front Street, the tallest free-standing structure in the Americas offers awesome views that stretch all the way to Niagara Falls, a breathtaking glass-floor observer's platform, and a revolving restaurant. Speed to the top in the world's highest glass-floor elevator at a rousing 20 feet a second.
Another have to see downtown attraction which will appeal to both hockey fans and casual fans of the game is the Hockey Hall of Fame at the corner of Yonge and Front Streets. Devoted to the history of ice hockey, it features an amazing spread of memorabilia, a rink where visitors can test their skills against computer-simulated hockey greats, and it is also the home of the Stanley Cup. Sports lovers will also enjoy the Rogers Centre, the domed stadium next to the CN Tower which is home to the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team. Previously called the SkyDome, this was the 1st stadium to have a fully-retractable motorised roof.
Ready for some shopping? The most visited Toronto shopping destination enticing millions annually is the Eaton Centre. Located at the south-west corner of Yonge and Dundas Streets, this popular mall is deluged by natural light from its dramatic atrium and features over 250 specialised shops and restaurants. For a rather more off-the-rack experience, head to the narrow streets of Kensington Market. Bordered by University Street, Spadina Avenue and Dundas St. West, this area homes a selection of funky second- hand shops, as well as a various collection of cafeterias and bakeries. And just steps from the bustling market is Toronto’s Chinatown, crammed with stores and restaurants stretching up and back down Spadina and along Dundas St. West. Another lively shopping area is Queen Street West, between University Avenue and Bathurst Street. Travel further west on Queen and stores like the Opening and HMV give way to edgy up-and-coming designer specialised shops and art galleries.
One of the high points of Toronto’s cultural attractions is the Art Studio of Ontario, found at the fringe of Chinatown at 317 Dundas Street West. This massive art museum showcases more than 68,000 works starting from up to date collections to Western european masterpieces. Try and get there on a Wednesday evening, when the $18 general admission charge is surrendered. Toronto also boasts one of the most important natural history museums in North America- the Royal Ontario Museum, which is merely a few blocks west of the Yonge and Bloor Street intersection in downtown Toronto at 100 Queen’s Park. There are some six million objects in its studios including a renowned collection of dinosaur skeletons. Situated at the southwest corner of Bloor Street West and Queen’s Park, visitors are just steps from the expensive designer boutique shops and restaurants in the Bloor and Yorkville area as well as the Park Hyatt Hotel, which offers spectacular town views from its roof bar.
There are heaps of out of doors activities to enjoy in Toronto, whether it is an icy winter day or blistering hot summer one. Right in the center of Toronto’s downtown waterfront is Harbourfront Centre, located at 235 Queens Quay West, showcasing over 4000 events year-long including concerts and cultural holidays. In the winter season, skate for free at the Natrel Rink, found within the Harbourfront grounds on the shores of Lake Ontario. Toronto’s biggest out of doors skating rink is open seven days each week and hosts skate nights with celebrity DJs. In the summertime months the Toronto Islands in Lake Ontario, which can on occasion be reached from the downtown Toronto harbor by ferry, provide a picturesque setting for fun pursuits as well as the Centreville Amusement Park for kids. Ontario Place, found west of downtown Toronto at 955 Lake Shore Blvd. W, is another preferred waterfront destination for families with 96 acres of rides, attractions and the gigantic Soak City waterpark.
To experience a taste of Toronto’s history in a beautiful setting, head east of downtown core to the Distillery District. Located at 55 Mill Street East, this heritage district was once the site of the biggest production of whiskey in the English Empire, and now houses art galleries, eclectic speciality shops and gourmand restaurants on cobble-stone streets within the remodeled 19-century distillery buildings. Gourmands. Will love the farmer’s market, speciality cheese store and artisan chocolate shop as well as the Mill Street Brewery featuring organic beers brewed on-site. Gourmets should also make their way to the St. Lawrence Market before leaving the town, home of the famous peameal back bacon on a bun.
If you're visiting Toronto and happen to make your way to the financial district in Toronto, you must visit the Gabardine Toronto. Many think it is a good Finance District Restaurant Toronto.
