Toronto is a diverse, vibrant and interesting city with plenty of options to choose from when it comes to amazing things to see and do. If you’re looking for a trip that’s packed with adventure, interesting attractions and plenty of fun, then you’re headed to the right place. Whether you’re looking to spend some time in a stunning natural setting, hit the shops, explore art and history or have some fun placing bets in a casino, Toronto has it all to offer and then some. If you’re currently planning a trip to Toronto and are in the process of putting a list of things to see and do together, here are some of the must-do’s that you simply can’t miss out on.
#1. Go to a Casino:
In Toronto, the casino scene is pretty big, with many to choose from. Unlike in the US where gambling is only permitted in certain areas, Canada’s gambling rules are a little more relaxed. If you’re hoping to stay within the hustle and bustle of the city, there are several great casinos to choose from, including The Ex, an annual CNE casino which offers a range of games to play, such as blackjack, Texas hold ‘em, roulette, Spanish 21, three-card poker and many more. However, you’ll need to time your journey right as this popular casino only opens for a short time each summer. If you’re willing to travel further afield, there are many great casinos to explore just outside of the city and in the surrounding areas. Don’t forget that you can also play casino games online using your smartphone or tablet if you get tired of the busy casino action.
#2. Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada:
If you enjoy exploring sea life and amazing at the natural world, then a trip to Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada should definitely be on your itinerary. Here you’ll be able to explore the largest indoor aquarium in the country, which boasts over sixteen thousand different aquatic animals to provide an underwater adventure that’s perfect for everyone. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or even on your own, you’ll never forget some of the awesome species of fish and sea life that you can visit here.
#3. Toronto Islands:
For an outdoor adventure during your visit to Toronto, look no further than the Toronto Islands. Perfect for families, couples, and even people traveling on their own, the Toronto Islands are a park which consists of the four main islands, along with several trails, beaches, and even amusements parks for the family to enjoy. The islands are connected by ferries, and there are many spots that are filled with natural beauty; perfect for sitting to relax a while or even enjoying a picnic.
#4. CN Tower:
If you have a good head for heights, then a trip to the CN Tower cannot be missed during your visit to Toronto. A National icon in Canada, the CN Tower is an iconic part of the skyline of Toronto and also an award-winning destination for dining and entertainment. You can travel right to the top in the Tower’s elevators, which feature glass floors and a glass front for the best possible views of the city during your visit. On the observation decks, you can take in stunning city views that go on for around one hundred miles. Visit at night, and you’ll be able to take in the amazing architectural illumination of the tower, too! If you’re a bit of an adrenalin junkie, then the thrilling EdgeWalk is definitely for you.
