Toronto's top attractions have it all: culture, sports and delicious dining
"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."
"Toronto’s City Hall is the main draw here but the revitalization that’s been going on has locals coming back. Just above all the concrete, the City Hall podium roof has turned into a public garden offering solace from the politics below. The permanent theatre stage has live performances during many of the festivals held here and don’t forget to check out the Peace Garden which has relocated to the west side of the square."
"Now I know I mentioned that you cannot go to Toronto and not get a picture with the CN Tower. But Nathan Phillips Square is another perfect location to get that typical Toronto picture. Whether you visit in the summer or winter there is plenty of opportunity for you – whether you are with the iconic Toronto sign or skating around with City Hall in the background."
"Pull on some skates and go ice skating at Nathan Phillips Square. If you’re not an ice skater, hang around the square to lap up the winter wonderland atmosphere while you watch the skaters glide across the ice."
"Taking your kids to the historic home of one of Toronto's first architects may seem laughable. Have we met your children?. Gazing at watercolours is hardly a hobby of theirs."
"Located in the heart of the Annex neighbourhood, the Trinity-St. Paul’s United Church became one after the two congregations, St. Paul’s Avenue Road United Church and Trinity United Church, joined together in 1887-89 to serve the community. The building was erected in 1889 and has since undergone several renovations, which have improved accessibility and acoustic sound."
"Take a guided tour around Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres – Toronto’s best-kept secret. This double-decker theatre is the last operating one in the world, making it even more impressive!. Go behind-the-scenes at Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres to take a closer look and learn about its fascinating history. You will be surprised how different the old-fashioned Elgin Theatre is from the forest-like Winter Garden Theatre on the upper level."
"This restored masterpiece is the world's last operating Edwardian double-decker theater. Celebrating its centennial in 2013, the Winter Garden was built as the flagship for a vaudeville chain that never really took off, while the downstairs Elgin was converted into a movie house in the 1920s. Fascinating tours run Mondays at 5pm and Saturdays at 10am. "
"A beloved family-spot with locations in Mississauga, New Market, Vaughan, Richmond Hill and on the Danforth, Astoria is an expansive Greek restaurant with lots of character and a friendly Mediterranean feel. Kids can choose from healthy optionsthat include chicken souvlaki, rice, potatoes, plus a drink—and there’s usually a fun spectacle (look out for the flaming cheese!) to keep everyone entertained. astoriashishkebobhouse.com"
