Passes:
The Toronto CityPASS offers discounted admission to the Royal Ontario Museum, CN Tower, Hockey Hall of Fame, Ontario Science Centre, Toronto Zoo and Casa Loma. The pass is available from the participating attractions or from CityPass (tel: 1 888 330 5008; citypass.com).
CN Tower
At a height of 553m (1,815ft), the CN Tower is the defining symbol of this lakefront city. On a clear day, it offers stunning views of up to 120km (75 miles) across the surrounding cityscape and Lake Ontario. Glass-fronted elevators (one with a newly installed glass floor) bring visitors to the main section (at an equivalent to 114 storeys high) where a terrifying glass floor enables visitors to stare 342m (1,122ft) straight down. A more leisurely view can be had from the revolving 360 Restaurant on the floor above. Another set of elevators leads to the SkyPod, 33 storeys further up. There is also a group of entertainment venues at the base of the tower, including a motion-simulator ride. A new aquarium is scheduled to open at the base of the tower in July 2013.
Opening Times: Usually from early morning until 2200 or 2300. Opening hours are adjusted seasonally, so visitors should call the tower to check.
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: 301 Front Street West, Toronto, Canada
Fort York
Fort York harks back to the days when Toronto, then as British as afternoon tea, was named York. As a colony, the city occasionally had to deal with revolutionaries to the south, so Fort York was founded in 1793 to ensure British control of Lake Ontario. Most of the buildings, however, date from 1814 because, during the War of 1812, the evacuating British blew up the gunpowder magazine - an explosion so unexpectedly large that it killed 10 of their own men and 250 advancing Americans, and destroyed a good deal of the fort. Highlights of Fort York include blockhouses, barracks, officers' quarters, costumed staff and period demonstrations.
Opening Times: Daily 1000-1700 (late May-early Sep); Mon-Fri 1000-1600, Sat-Sun 1000-1700 (early Sep-late May). Several short closed periods throughout the year.
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: 100 Garrison Road, off Fleet Street, Toronto, Canada
Ripley's Aquarium of Canada
Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, next door to the iconic CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium of Canada -a $130 million facility now under construction - will open this summer. The aquarium will feature more than 13,500 exotic sea and freshwater creatures and a unique 96m-long (315 ft) moving walkway through an tunnel set beneath a shark lagoon and a tropical reef tank.
Opening Times: To be opened in summer 2013.
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
Unesco: No
Address: 288 Bremner Boulevard, Toronto, Canada
Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)
The ROM is one of the most exciting museums in Canada. Its striking facade alone will take your breath away, but deeper within, the museum houses excellent collections featuring almost 6 million artefacts. The exhibits representing East Asia include a renowned collection of Chinese art, with wall paintings, snuff bottles and ceramic head cushions, as well as the only complete example of a Ming tomb in the west. Other levels handle the life sciences, the ancient Mediterranean and a Canadian heritage collection. Take the Director's Choice Audio Tour to discover the stories behind some of the museum's most celebrated exhibits.
Opening Times: Sat-Thu 1000-1730, Fri 1000-2130.
Admission Fees: Yes
Disabled Access: Yes
