…And As For A Little Culture… Toronto is a mosaic of museums, theatres and public art. The city itself boasts nine museums, with 125 throughout the Greater Toronto Area. For something a little different, peruse the Design Exchange (DX); Canada’s only museum dedicated to the heritage of various design disciplines including architecture, furniture, graphics and fashion. Step into the past at the Fort York National Historic Site, home of the country’s largest collection of original War of 1812 buildings. Take a guided tour and enjoy the musket, drill, and musical demonstrations. If the classics tickle your fancy, catch a show from one of 50 ballet and dance companies, six opera companies, or envelope yourself in the music of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

PATH is North America’s largest continuous underground pedestrian system that connects 1200 stores and restaurants, 50 office towers, five subway stations, Union Station, six major hotels and numerous entertainment centres right below the city’s financial district.

With a considerable discount you receive admission to five of the city’s most popular attractions: the CN Tower, the Royal Ontario Museum (home of the stunning Stair of Wonders), Casa Loma (Canada’s foremost castle), the Toronto Zoo (located in Rouge Park and a perfect place to see the region’s colourful foliage in the fall) and the Ontario Science Centre. This is a convenient and affordable way to explore the city, particularly if you are travelling with the family.

knowledge of hockey at the Hockey Hall of Fame located right in the heart of downtown Toronto. If cheering on the pros is more your style, take in a game and support the home team. The Maple Leafs’ regular season starts October 13th
