    You could already see some photos of the Skydome and the baseball game in my Must see activities. If you get the chance to go to a game, go! Hahaha, so much fun to experience that! The skydome is great, especially when the roof is open and you can see the CN tower above you.
    Here is the website of the Toronto Blue Jays so you can see if there is a game going on on the days that you are visiting the city :

    Another great sport to watch is basketball! So if there is no baseball game going on you might go to an basketball game instead! The Raptors play at the Air Canada Centre. Besides basketball you can also watch the Maple Leafs icehockey team in action in the Air Canada Centre.

    Here are there websites where you can check out where and when there next game is :

    Some people REALLY get into the game, LOL :-) Great though to see characters like this walking around! It all just adds to the atmosphere of going to a game.

    A fun thing to do in the winter in Toronto is going skating on one of the outside skating rinks. This one I saw at the Toronto Harbour. Wow, it was so busy, but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves a lot. There is some music playing to add to the atmosphere :-)

    The skating rink is open 7 days a week, 10 a.m.- 10 p.m., weather permitting of course :-) The admission is free and you can rent skates if you forgot to bring your own. It's also possible to sharpen your skates here. Plenty of food and drink in the building at the skating rink and there are also changing rooms available.

    Skate rentals :
    Adults $7
    Children/Seniors $5
    Group Rate (10+) $5
    (Mon. to Fri. only)

    Skate sharpening $5 a pair

    You can also go skating on the Nathan Phillips Square in the heart of Toronto. Really fun to do probably, but as you could see the ice rink was closed when I was there at the End of November. I am not exactly sure when it opens but I saw a lot of skaters here a month later. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to give it a try that day.

     Great page on Toronto! Yes, I agree that the hot dogs there are great (better than New York in my opinion). Best regards from the USA, Bill
