Parks / gardens: Credit River Conservation Area
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto Parks / gardens
  • Wind swept Pine Tree
  • by mr.jacob

  • This park is 10 km west of Pearson International Airport. So if you like nature and planes, this is the park for you.
    It may seem strange for any rare wildlife to be living so close to an airport that handles 28 million people a year, but it seems as if nature has adpated to plane traffic..
    Some of the rare wildlife (rare in the Toronto area)includes Eagles,Hawks,Deer,Tortoises,Beavers,and the occasional Coyote.-These animals may not be rare in Canada, but it is rare to have them living near the center of a city with 2,500,000 people don't you think? ;)

    CN Tower: The CN Tower
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto CN Tower
  • View from the "Glass Floor", CN
  • Tower
  • by mr.jacob
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Look at that shadow!
    The glass floor and observation deck reach to a height of 342 m (1,122 ft).
    This one of a kind floor can hold more then 2 hippos, so don't worry about it cracking or anything.
    It is well worth the visit to Toronto if you walk on this "glass floor".
    You will be able to see skydome and maybe a baseball game if the Blue Jays are playing, but bring binoculars becuase the people will look like ants ; )

    CN Tower: The Gardiner Expressway / Lake Ontario
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto CN Tower
  • View of Lake Ontario,Gardiner
  • Expressway
  • by mr.jacob

  • As seen from the skypod on top the CN Tower.
    This highway is the main connection between Toronto and other cities such as Mississauga, Hamilton, and Montreal.
    Lake Ontario (on the left) is the smallest lake of the five "Great Lakes" but it is still very big.
    If you go up to the shoreline you won't be able to see the U.S, but from the CN Tower's skypod, you will if it is sunny enough.
    You will also get a great view of Toronto's shoreline airport. You will be able to see Cessnas and other small aircraft land and take off-but bring binoculars, they can help out a lot!

    CN Tower: Financal District of Toronto seen from CN Tower
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto CN Tower
  • Toronto's financal district
  • by mr.jacob
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Would'nt want to be down there at midnight..This part of Toronto attracts the rich and famous. Just last year, Jackie Chan came to film his "The Tuxedo" movie here. There are many limos and great resturants to be seen in the financal district.
    There's barely any crime on the streets becuase Toronto employs a lot of policemen/women.
    There might be a lot of homeless people here though, so bring a few extra bucks if you can.

  • Don't look down!
    Don't worry, the "Glass Floor" can hold up to 2 hippos;)
    The CN Tower is the largest free-standing structure in the world. The glass floor and observation deck reach to a height of 342 m (1,122 ft)!.
    On a clear day, you can see the mist of the Niagara Falls (75km away) from this tower if you bring binoculars.

  • You can see it and the CN tower from Mississauga-it looks something like this from Hurontario Street, 25 stories up:)
    The views from this tower can let you see 75 km away.
    On a sunny day, you can see the steam rise from Niagara Falls from this tower, I did and it was amazing!

    *The tower itself is 553.33m or 1,815 ft. and 5 inches tall.

     You really don't have a clue what you are talking about when it comes to hockey....what about Edmonton Oilers , Montreal Canadians, and the Calgary Flames (who are in the Stanley cup finals)?????

     The weeds here (& only here) in TO drive me crazy too... Didn't know that eagles existed in Credit Valley... Xcel page = )

     Not sure that hurricanes are an incredible danger in Toronto. Deep freezes are a little more common. Raccoons can carry rabies, and do incredible damage to property. They should be avoided.
