I personally would not recommend Toronto but then again I am biased.

food or activities?

I think Rusla means she is just biased against Toronto.

I really enjoyed the Science Center. Niagra Falls is also very fun and it's only about 2 hours from Toronto.

I was going to suggest the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), the CN Tower. I am from Niagara, so if you do come here, there is tonnes to see.

[happy4dolphins]

Yes, food and activites

I started looking in our Triple AAA book too. But sometimes they put things in there that will bore one to tears.

Events for whom? Is it just you and/or hubby or kids too?

A Blue Jays game! I went to one in middle school and it's the only thing I remember from my only trip to Toronto.

That's saying a lot since I blocked out the majority of middle school

casa loma, kensington market/china town, hockey hall of fame, metro toronto zoo, canada's wonderland (meh, close enough ) all have kiddy things to do. Well, I guess not so much casa loma and the markets, but they're nice to look at. Also, as people have said, the science centre and ROM are good. There's also medieval times.

If you come in summer there are tons of street festivals and evets.

Don't know anything (yet) about travelling in Canada, but someday I WILL see a Mapleleaf's game -- IN PERSON!

Yes, hubby and two kids, ages 2 and 7 are going too. I think maybe in later June or mid July to go.

This is really great to read your reccomendations! Keep them coming.

With four children, I have found the two things that the kids enjoyed most are:

Canada's Wonderland

Wild Water Kingdom

Ontario Place

Have fun!

Hugs.

You are right. I do not like Ontario and I never found it a fun place. A fun place is BC. That is a place I would call a holiday, all the time.

Oh wait! I forgot to add one:

Centreville: It is on Centre Island at the Toronto waterfront - you have to take a ferry to get there and the ferry ride was a real blast for the kids!

If you're looking for some great restaurants in Toronto that offer gluten-free fare, try this site:

It lists heaps of restaruants that provide gluten-free options. Check out "Il Fornello", an Italian restaraunt that offers gluten free pasta, pizza, bruchetta. I've wanted to check it out for ages, but the last time I was there, they were booked solid.
