Attraction

Toronto's 553-metre communications tower on Bremner Boulevard, with a Glass Floor, an outdoor terrace, the higher Top level, a revolving restaurant and the seasonal EdgeWalk.
View details — CN TowerToronto's main sights are concentrated in and around downtown, which makes it easy to see several in a day. The CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium of Canada stand side by side on Bremner Boulevard, a covered walk from Union Station, and the Hockey Hall of Fame is a few minutes away inside Brookfield Place. Further north, the Royal Ontario Museum on Queen's Park and the Art Gallery of Ontario on Dundas Street West hold the city's great collections, from dinosaurs and Chinese art to the Thomson Collection and Kusama's Infinity Mirror Room. Casa Loma, the castle-like mansion built for Sir Henry Pellatt between 1911 and 1914, is a walk from Dupont or St Clair West station.
For planning, pair sights by area and check the free slots: the AGO is free on the first Wednesday evening of the month, the ROM on the third Tuesday evening, the Aga Khan Museum on Wednesday evenings, and Fort York is always free and closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The ROM is among the attractions covered by the Toronto CityPASS, which can save money if you plan several paid sights. In summer, give the Toronto Islands at least half a day, buying ferry tickets online in advance, and come to High Park in late April or early May for the cherry blossoms.
