Top things to do in Ontario
"Just down the road from the Gooderham is St. Lawrence Market, which has been a fixture in Toronto for over two centuries. Every week, more than 120 vendors set up shop, and their colourful displays bursting with the likes of organic produce, fresh-baked goods, homemade jam and Canadian cheeses are photo heaven."
"Whether you prefer fruit or vegetables, there are lots of places to grab a freshly made smoothie in Toronto. Establishments across the city are making delicious blends with unique and tasty flavour combinations and energizing proteins. Here are the best smoothies in Toronto."
"The sprawling square is right out the doors of City Hall and is host to many of the biggest concerts, art shows and other community events throughout the year. In the winter, the fountain freezes over, making a stellar skating rink. In the summer, a weekly farmer’s market showcases an array of local produce."
"Why You Need To Go: Is it even summer in the 6ix if you didn't stop to pose with the Toronto sign in the square?"
"If you’re in the mood to escape the city for a few hours, head east and you’ll find yourself surrounded by some of the most scenic views in all of Ontario. It’s hard to believe such a stunning place exists in Toronto, as the blue water and sandy beaches are more reminiscent of something you might come across in Europe."
"Lakeshore cliffs with cathedral-spire formations expose evidence of five glacial periods at Scarborough Bluffs. Spanning 14km, from Rosetta McClain Gardens to East Point Park, this is a stunning landscape as well..."
"Why You Need To Go: A summer trip to the bluffs will have you feeling like you're on a tropical vacation."
"Sports fans may want to check out the Rogers Centre, one of the largest stadiums in Canada with over 53,000 seats. Technically awe-inspiring, it opened in 1989 with the world's first fully retractable dome roof primarily to serve as a baseball stadium for the Toronto Blue Jays. Tours include a brain-scrambling video wall screening footage of past sporting glories, concerts and events, and you can also check out the stadium's memorabilia museum."
"Formerly known as the Skydome, Rogers Centre is where Major League Baseball’s Toronto Bluejays play. However, it’s not just for baseball, as you can also see football games, concerts, and more here. If you’re looking for one of the top ways to take in an event, do it at the Rogers Centre."
"Whether or not you are a baseball fan, you cannot leave Toronto without heading to the Rogers Centre to catch a game of Toronto’s favourite sports team. (Though that thought may be debated by die-hard leaf fans!)"
"The Dream of China cake, with its strawberry mousse and passion fruit coulis, impressed McEwan. “Love the mini macaron and lovely tempered chocolate,” he said. “The passion fruit and berry work really well together.” 1419 Danforth Ave., $7.50"
"Finally, somewhere for those of you looking to satisfy your sweet tooth. Furama Cake & Dessert Garden is the place for you!. This bakery at the southern edge of Chinatown makes fresh Chinese and European pastries daily."
"Located in North York, Shops at Don Mills is more of a lifestyle centre than a typical mall. It comprises 72 retail stores over more than 500,000 square feet. Attracting upscale shoppers, its most popular stores include Anthropologie, Oak & Fort, Michael Kors, and well-known food stores and restaurants, such as McEwan’s Gourmet Market and Joey’s."
"If you are looking for the big shopping mall experience in Midtown Toronto, this is the place to head. You’ll find 70 retailers, including a wide range of brands such as Sephora, Indigo Books, Reitmans and more. It’s located across the street from the Canada Square Complex and it is connected to the Eglinton subway station via a lower level tunnel."
"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Watch comedy performances in a great atmosphere by visiting this comedy club in Toronto. It entertains you with comic acts of local novice comics as well as professional performers."
"In North America, that place is situating, where every person is enthused. The mood of that club is always overwhelming. Every night from Wednesdays to Saturdays, the area is open for everyone, and laugh seekers catch every moment."
"If you are looking to enjoy comedy performances while eating scrumptious food, make sure you visit The Groove Bar & Grill when holidaying in Toronto. It’s a family-owned establishment well-equipped with big-screen televisions hosting outstanding comedy shows. Spend time here laughing your head off at hilarious performances."
"It’s one of the comfiest, most laidback comedy clubs in the city, with absolutely no pretensions and a rotating list of comedy nights each month. The only rule is to show up with a willing attitude because once you walk in through the door, anything goes. Quality of improv runs from just-getting-started to genuinely brilliant, so you’ll have a lot of people to teach you."
