Discover the Best of Toronto: Must-See Attractions and Insider Tips

[Kelly8]

What are you looking forward to the most about going to Toronto? If you have been there before, what is a must-see/do? And my friends thought there was a Busch Gardens there, but I couldn't find that on-line. Does anyone know if there is a park there?

When I was looking, I found an Amusement Park there, but it doesn't open 'til May.

We're taking the money instead.

The Toronto zoo is fantastic. They have great public transportation. Check and see what live theater is playing in town. Lots of international foods. Shopping.

CN Tower - until a certain building in Dubai was erected, the CN Tower was the tallest free standing building in the world. There is a restaurant at the very top that revolves. Very cool to be eating dinner while the you can see the floor revolving - slowly - it's not a circus ride

If you decide to try out the revolving restaurant, make reservations in advance

There is the zoo, the theatre and of course, baseball - Toronto Blue Jays. If you're taking hubby and/or children, consider treating them to an afternoon or evening game....their "extra" reward for supporting you & your business.

I've only been to TO twice (once for 2 nights and once for work-related training sessions for a new software program...long hours and not much down time).....so right now that is all I can give you.

HTH

Cheers,

Thanks all! I think we'll definitely hit that restaurant. There's a similar one at the Ren. Center in Detroit, but probably not nearly as high. Is there a travel allowance for this trip? We live in Michigan and will just like to drive there.

I visited Toronto as a teenager and we visited Canada's Wonderland. The trip is the end of April though, so I'm bummed we couldn't go there!
