Visiting Toronto 2nd week in July and was

[DelCan]

wondering what we should see while we are there. We will be coming from a stop in Niagara Falls. Actually any suggestions/advice for that area of Canada would be great. Thanks!!!

Niagara falls, you have the falls of course and the casino to hit. Maid of the mist ride on the boat is fun.
In Toronto, stuff to see & do....

CN Tower: Intro - CN Tower | La Tour CN
Casaloma: Casa Loma
Pretty good zoo: Toronto Zoo | Canada's premier Zoo
Toronto Island: Parks, Forestry & Recreation : Toronto Islands

Actually.... here is a list of things to do in Toronto which is pretty good....

If you are driving, cross at Buffalo/Fort Erie and take the Niagara Parkway between Fort Erie & Niagara Falls..... do not take the QEW, because you will miss out on some of the most beautiful homes that are on the parkway

And by the way....

We hope you enjoy your stay

LoL.. I work for the Bata shoe company.. They have the Bata shoe museum in Toronto. Maybe a visit there?

DO NOT take the QEW: it's a mess. Don't take the Don Valley Parkway: it's worse.

If you're hitting TO, I'd definitely suggest the ROM and the AGO. Both are museums but both are stellar. Of course, there's always wonderland (in Vaughn) and just walking around the downtown core is a great source of photographic inspiration.

If youve got some time to kill, Henry's have their photo depot right down from Younge St (near St Mike's hospital).

Tell me about it. I had to be downtown to pick up another set of Stratos for my other body for today and it took a little over an hour to get from the highway to Yonge & Dundas (19.4km) at 6:30 at night (and that was against the traffic)

Thanks OsmosisStudios! Stay Off the QEW and the ROM is a place for us to visit for sure.

Thank you very much guys!
