CN Tower
Defining the Toronto skyline at 553.33m (1,815ft5in) the CN Tower is Canada’s most recognizable and celebrated icon. Spectacular views include floor-to-ceiling panoramic Window Walls, world-famous Glass Floor, SkyPod and glass-fronted elevators with glass floor panels.
Royal Ontario Museum
No trip to Toronto is complete without a visit to the Royal Ontario Museum — Canada’s largest museum showcasing art, culture, and nature from around the globe and across the ages.
Art Gallery of Ontario
Located in downtown Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is one of the most important art museums in North America. The AGO Collection features more than 100,000 great works of art, from cutting-edge contemporary to classic European masterpieces.
Casa Loma
Constructed in a striking Gothic Revival style, Casa Loma is among Toronto’s most striking and unique architectural landmarks. Initially built in 1911 as a private residence—the largest in Canada at the time—for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, Casa Loma is now a historical museum as well as a popular tourist destination and filming spot for movies and television.
Ontario Science Centre
With over 500 interactive experiences, the Ontario Science Centre is one of Canada’s most famous cultural landmarks. Upon opening its doors, the Ontario Science Centre was a pioneer in its hands-on approach to science. Unlike traditional museums at the time, where exhibits were strictly for viewing only, the Ontario Science Centre promoted interaction and live demonstrations. The Science Centre even has its own amateur radio station since its opening in 1969 and incorporated its very first—and Ontario’s one and only—IMAX Dome theatre in 1996.
Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada
Immerse yourself in a world of 20,000 aquatic animals and discover your own underwater adventure in the heart of downtown Toronto. Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada features North America’s longest underwater viewing tunnel with more than 5.7 million litres of water and over 100 interactive opportunities.
St. Lawrence Market
In the centre of historic Old Town Toronto sits the St. Lawrence Market Complex – three buildings that have served as Toronto’s social centre, City Hall and marketplace throughout the City’s history. Explore the south market building with its restaurants, artisans and specialty food vendors offering visitors the unique and lively atmosphere of an authentic farmers market.
Hockey Hall of Fame
