You might visit the Rodgers Center. It’s one of the most impressive sports venues in all of Canada. You can watch the Blue Jays play there.

Take a Dinner Cruise on a Northern Spirit Boat

You can also take a romantic dinner cruise if you’re there with a spouse or partner. These cruises last a couple of hours, and the boats drift slowly and peacefully along, so you should have no problems if you get seasick.

The captain can show you around and speak about all the sights you pass. They can also talk about each of the islands. The live commentary informs you about this special place, so you’re learning while you have fun.

Take a Helicopter Tour

If you have a bigger vacation budget, you might also book a helicopter tour. That costs more, but you get an incredible birds-eye view.

The helicopter tour lasts for just a few minutes, but you can see the buildings in a way you can’t if you are walking or driving around. You can look down at the people hurrying by on the sidewalk and feel like a big shot for a while.

Take a Niagara Falls Day Tour

If you’ve never seen Niagara Falls before, you should check it out. On the American side, you can see where Marilyn Monroe appeared in the movie Niagara. Over on the Canadian side, you can hop on a riverboat that will take you near the majestic falls. There’s nothing else quite like them.

You can take a luxury boat trip that shows you the falls, and you also get a tasty lunch. You can get close enough so you can feel the spray.

You Can Visit St. Lawrence Market

Getting raw food doesn’t make much sense if you’re staying in a hotel, but if you got an AirBnB with a full kitchen, you might buy some food for dinner that night. You will find great deals there, and it’s all very fresh. You’re also stimulating the local economy this way.

You might love Toronto if you spend a few days there. It has so many different sights, and you’ll find friendly, engaging people everywhere.
