I'm heading to Toronto for a few days in February. I'm sure there are better times of year to go, but these might give me some idea of things to do. Thanks!

February is a great time of year! (trying to sound optimistic )
Here are a few more suggestions that i think make my city worth visiting:

The ROM They have an amazing exhit on diamonds right now.

The AGO has just undergone a huge renovation. The grand reopening will be this month and i am sure they will have fantastic new exhibits.

The BATA Shoe Museum is realy interesting, fun and unique history lesson. (well i loved it)

Casa Loma is always a favourite. The best time to visit is either summer to see the beauitiful garden or Christmas because they are all decked out but anytime is a good time.

The CN Tower truly is a tourist trap but so are so many other places and it gives you a great view of the city...both good and bad.

The Hockey Hall of Fame... i would get in so much trouble if i did not recommend this place

Chinatown, harbourfront, Kensington Market, city hall,
lunch, shopping, dinner, music, dancing


There is so much to see and do in Toronto you are gonna love it ...i do!

This is a video showing the construction of the front gallery space of the addition. The structure is made from large glulam beams, erected by ironworkers from Local 721 and the Carpenters
