Hi all,

It looks like I'll be in Toronto from June 26 to 30, but have no plans on Saturday, June 29. Any suggestions on something to do? Things to see?

Thanks for any ideas!

It's a holiday weekend. There should be a lot to do. Pick up the Toronto paper (Star, Sun, even Globe & Mail) on Thursday or Friday for the entertainment guide.

If you like art and history, there's the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Royal Ontario Museum. If sports, the Toronto Blue Jays (or tour the Sky Dome if they're not playing that day or on the road). Science? Ontario Science Centre. Go visit the various neighbourhoods.....

Or get a rental car and drive SW - Niagara Falls, while kitchy, is still pretty cool to see, plenty of wineries out that way to indulge in, some very nice countryside to drive around if so inclined.

The small neighbourhoods in Toronto are a treat to walk around in, browse the stores, sample the food, talk to the people. That was one of the biggest advantages I saw about Toronto when I lived there a while back.

Toronto also has a pretty good zoo (go early) if you like that sort of thing.

The Harbourfront is usually pretty interesting for people watching, eating and drinking at the various vendors, or catch the ferry over to the Island and rent a bike and tour around it for the day.
