Things To Do & See
Outlined below are some suggestions of things to do and restaurants to visit when you're in Toronto. We're always happy to answer any questions you might have.
See a Toronto Blue Jays’ Baseball game at the Rogers’ Centre (hopefully the roof will be open!). We’d recommend buying tickets outside of the stadium from the scalpers/re-sellers as you’ll likely be able to purchase tickets at below face value. Please keep in mind the team is rebuilding this year so they may not be as strong as prior years, however, it’s a great environment and really fun. The Rogers’ Centre is a 20 minute street car ride or 30 – 35 minute walk from our place;

Visit Toronto Island by taking the public ferry across from nearby Queens’ Quay terminal. There are several beaches and interconnected islands that connected via bridges and walkways. At the island (which is really a large park), you’ll have some of the best city scape views of Toronto (25 - 30 minute walk to the ferry terminal).
