Toronto - what to see, Canada

Displayed:   times.

* Skydome (sports stadium - home to the Toronto Blue Jays)
* Air Canada Centre (home to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors)
* Canadian Hockey Hall of Fame
* Toronto Islands
* Toronto Zoo (http://www.torontozoo.com/) (hard to get to by bus and subway from the downtown area)
* The CN Tower (http://www.cntower.ca/) (tallest free standing structure in the world!)
* The neighborhoods - Queen Street West, Yorkville, Cabbagetown, The Danforth, Chinatown, Yonge Street, Church Street. These are the soul of Toronto, and a must-see for tourists.
* Royal Ontario Museum (http://www.rom.on.ca). 100 Queen's Park (Tel: 416-586-8000) You are bound to learn a lot about natural and human history. The third floor is dedicated to the history of human civilization and the second floor is more or less about natural history (with a section on dinosaurs and good exhibits on insects and on bats.) Sneak a peak with free admission to the regular exhibits on Friday evenings when the museum is open late.
* Ontario Science Center (http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/). Excellent science museum.
* Art Gallery Of Ontario (http://www.ago.net/).
* Canadian National Exhibition.
* Harbourfront.
* Panorama - a restaurant/bar situated on the 51st floor of the Manulife Centre just west of Yonge Street on Bloor. Not-too-expensive drinks/food and a spectacular view of Toronto's skyline, especially at night.

Toronto has several major league sports teams: * The Toronto Blue Jays, Major League Baseball
* The Toronto Maple Leafs, National Hockey League
* The Toronto Raptors, National Basketball Association

Toronto has a great theater scene for every taste and budget. Check out the big theaters on King Street for the big splashy (and pricey) shows like Chicago, The Lion King, Les Miz, Cats, etc. Small theaters in the Annex and elsewhere offer smaller productions that range from original Canadian works, avant-garde, experimental theater, and small budget musicals to British murder mysteries.
