Toronto’s Top Attractions
Toronto’s motto isn’t ‘go big or go home,’ but that’s a good summary of their top attractions, which include the lofty CN Tower, the biggest indoor aquarium in Canada and the only full-sized castle in North America.
CN Tower
The CN Tower, one of the contemporary world’s seven wonders and one of Canada’s most famous buildings, has come to characterise the Toronto skyline. You don’t want to miss this engineering marvel, which rises 553 metres above the ground, on any tour through the city.
Royal Ontario Museum
The Royal Ontario Museum is Canada’s largest museum of natural history and international cultures. The Crystal, the museum’s spectacular main entrance created by Michael Lee Chin, is situated right in the heart of Toronto and immediately draws attention.
Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada
Do you appreciate the thought of being just a glass window’s width away from a shark? You may have that experience at the Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, which also introduces you to the other 16,000 aquatic animals that are housed there. All of those creatures, including southern stingrays, 65-year-old huge lobsters, giant pacific octopuses, and nettle jellyfish, require 5.7 million litres of water to support them.
The Art Gallery of Ontario
One of the biggest and best art museums in North America, the Art Gallery of Ontario, is home to an astounding 90,000 works of art. View the celebrated creations of the Group of Seven, a group of Canadian artists whose works make up the world’s largest collection of Canadian art.
Casa Loma
Unbelievably, Toronto is home to the only full-sized castle in North America. Casa Loma possesses each and every feature a castle could possibly have. There are turrets that provide stunning vistas of the city. There are more than 100 rooms and a sizable library to explore.
