Good Place to Visit?

[04 elantra cvvt]

My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Canada sometime next year. So far, the only place I have been to up there is Windsor, but I'd like to get some suggestions on where to go.

[carbonbluerocks]

Visit Toronto and go walk on the glass floor up on the CN Tower... :D
It all depends on what you want to do and how much time you've got to kill..

[04 elantra cvvt]

Well hopefully we will have a full week to spend there, so a total of 9 days, two of them reserved for travel. Thanks.

Well, you could visit the Canadian side of Niagara falls. And visit the new casino there too. Toronto is also good. But it all depends on what you and your girlfriend like to do. Site see? Activities? Amusment parks?

[04 elantra cvvt]

Probably a little of all of the above. We like a variety of different things. I just like the beauty of the country out there.

[JacksonJ]

Well, for site seeing, Niagara Falls. For Amusment parks, Canada's Wonderland. For activities... Well there are tons of things around Toronto, Hamilton and Niagara.

You could look through this site and find some more things http://www.ontariotravel.net/

9 days...you could see Toronto, go camping in Algonquin, make your way to Quebec City, and return. That's what I'd do to get a little bit of everything crammed into 9 days.

Good luck!

Someone asked me for advice for what to see lately and I wrote down a whole pile of stuff but it's on my other comp.....I'll visit back here after I get home and copy and paste my stuff.

I would check out Quebec city. It was many years ago and I was much younger but I remember the "old" city being pretty cool, europeanish. If you just want outdoors stuff Mont Tremblant is very nice but I was only there in the winter not summer.

To paraphrase the simpsons: "We live in America, why go to America Junior?"



J/K I'd like to see some of the Great White North sometime as well. I don't think I'd go to Montreal though... I'm afraid I might catch whatever makes the Expos suck so bad.

[XTRAWLD]

Found my big long speel I gave to someone.....cutting....pasting....go!

Ok, first thing that comes to mind - a Toyota commercial!
They have this Toyota commercial that is promoting driving across Canada and has a book full of tips and places to go....I think you can pick it up at
any Toyota dealership or http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/040414-1.htm
Linkys are closer to the bottom of the article.

There are alot of things to do here in Ontario.

Niagara Falls is always the huge crowd pleaser.
Stumbled upon tours of Toronto and Niagara Falls,
www.chariots-of-fire.com
Niagara-on-the-lake (small town close to Niagara) is home to alot of
wineries. You can take a tour and sample wines....absolutely awesome,

Of course the CN Tower. There are tonnes of art galleries, museums and fun
things to do downtown TO. Different markets - St. Lawrence Market, also
Chinatown, Little Italy (we have little cities within Toronto)

Helicopter tours can be taken both of Toronto and Niagara Falls.

Well, there are zoo's http://www.torontozoo.com/ , www.junglecatworld.com ,
www.bowmanvillezoo.com and the like although African Lion Safari is hardly a
zoo - it's well a safari, www.lionsafari.com

Warplane museum in Hamilton - www.warplane.com
Also Woodbine Racetrack - they have live racing and a casino

Depending on when you come (fall is by far the most magnificent) and how
much of a drive you want to do...Algonquin Park is the way to go (it's about
3 hours north of where I am!) http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/ Hiking,

Phew - ok, time to catch a breather - hope that helps (I picked up a bunch
of brochures last year for things to do - looks like it came in handy.) I
haven't been to all these places, but some I have. If you are looking for
more specific info, just let me know.

And you think I have???!!! lol.... I had brochures with me and was writing them down for someone else that was planning to visit.....most of the things in those brochures I haven't even heard of either! Looks like we should do something off that list at least once a year huh.
