CN Tower: CN Tower -Glass floor
  • Tip Rating:

    Hockey Hall of Fame: Lord Stanley Cup
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto Hockey Hall of Fame
  • Lord Stanley's Cup
  • by msison
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • The Hockey Hall Fame is a tribute to all those who has played this great sport. In the hall make sure to check out the famous coveted cup in the sport. It's on the third level of the museum.

    I was in awe about how much information there is about hockey and its history. From pond hockey to arena hockey, it will defenitely give you a great idea of what hockey is and what it means to Canadians.

    Niagara Falls: The Falls
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a great view of the Falls, much better than the US side. You must take the Queen of the Mist ride all the way close to the Falls.

    To even get a closer look take the tour behind the Falls during summer or Fall. You'll be sure to be wet so make sure to pack a small towel from your hotel in your backpack.

    At night they have a light show for the falls. You can spend a day there and at night for adults head to the casino and numerous restaurants by the area.

    Directions: It is two hours south of the city of Toronto. Hotels usually have a day trip there or you can cross the border from Buffalo, NY. Bring your passport and another piece of identification.

    Canada's Wonderland: Roller Coaster and Waterpark
  • Tip Rating:
  • Wonderland is about 1 1/2 from the city of Toronto. If you love rollercoasters and waterparks this is defenitely a place to stop with kids. While small kids enjoy some of the rides they'll enjoy the waterpark. There are changing areas as well as lockers to keep your belongings.

    The fee for the park is a bit stiff, but it is worth the trip.

    Casa Loma: Canadian Castle
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sir Henry Pellatt, the dreamer behind Toronto's famous landmark, Casa Loma, was born in Kingston, Ontario on January 6, 1859 to British parents. Ambitious from his youth, Sir Henry left his studies at Upper Canada College when he was seventeen to pursue a career in commerce in the family business. By the age of 23 he became a full partner in his father's stock brokerage firm, from that time on known as Pellatt and Pellatt. That year was also marked by his marriage to Mary Dodgeson, whom he met when he was twenty.
