25 Things You Must Do While Visiting Toronto
Story and photography by Stacey McLeod
You can’t walk two blocks in the city without seeing a double-decker tour bus or a billboard advertising a King Street musical.
Hotel lobbies are filled with pamphlets for obvious attractions like Toronto Maple Leafs games or the Royal Ontario Museum -and the CN Tower is pretty hard to miss -- but what if you want to see more than just the postcard-worthy parts of the city?
1. Lie face down on the glass floor at the CN Tower
It looks scary but this two-and-a-half inch thick glass floor can withstand the weight of 14 large hippos. However, looking face
down at a 1,122 ft. drop is bound to give you a few butterflies.
2. Sit upstairs at Union Station during rush hour
Rush hour at Union Station is a chaotic affair, with commuters scrambling to catch trains and cramming subway platforms.
But while downstairs can feel claustrophobic, the Great Hall’s coffered vault ceilings upstairs offers a reprieve. You can look up
and admire the stunning architecture while the chaos goes by around you.
3. Skate at Nathan Phillips Square
A winter visit to Toronto wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the skating rink at Nathan Phillips Square at Toronto’s city
hall. Skate rentals, indoor change rooms and snack bars are on-site.
4. Tour the Steam Whistle Brewery
Tour one of Toronto’s most interesting historic buildings, The Roundhouse, while sampling one of the city’s signature beers.
Steam Whistle Brewery tours are $8 to $24 (depending on whether you want to leave with a bottle opener or a 12 pack of
beer) and go daily from noon to 6 p.m.
5. Have a hot chocolate at Soma in The Distillery District
Once you try a steaming cup of this rich and creamy hot chocolate, made on the premises from pure, exotic ingredients,
you’ll never be able to spoon out the powdery instant stuff again.
6. Do a bike tour of Toronto Island
Tour Toronto’s island oasis on a bicycle. There are several ways to see the car-free island on wheels, like Sights on Bikes
where for $40 you get a ferry ride, a two-hour island tour and a chance to explore special spots like the haunted lighthouse at
Gibraltar Point.
7. Go shopping at Honest Ed’s
With a sign lit up by 23,000 bulbs, this Toronto landmark is hard to miss. Honest Ed’s has been dishing out deals since 1948
and even claim to be the world’s first true bargain store. Household items are often cheaper than a dollar store and there’s
stuff everywhere, so get ready to do some digging.
8. Walk the boardwalk at The Beach
During warm months, the boardwalk (stretching 3 km along Toronto’s lakeshore) is full of skateboarders, volleyballers, bike
rider, Rollerbladers, dog walkers, baby pushers, seagulls and joggers. There are swimming pools, a canoe club, lawn bowling,
tennis courts and endless benches where you can chill out with an ice cream cone and watch Lake Ontario’s waves come in.
9. Go to Yonge-Dundas Square
Like it or hate it, it’s worth a visit to this concrete public space. With billboards, big lights, concerts and public events, YongeDundas Square is hailed as Toronto’s Times Square and gives visitors a taste of the bustling downtown Yonge Street.
10. Dine at a famous chef’s place
Toronto has a rep as home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world so splurge and enjoy a meal by a famous
local chef like Mark McEwan's North 44 or Susur Lee (as seen on Iron Chef America).
