Description:
DOWNTOWN. Built as a TV transmission antenna, this tower has come to be known as Toronto's symbol and is a huge draw for tourists. At 1815 feet, it's the tallest tower in Canada. Currently serving Canadian TV and FM radio stations, it's also the workplace of hundreds of people and a popular entertainment destination. Its range of attractions and exhibits includes a glass floor lookout, cafe, award-winning 360 Restaurant (with the world's highest wine cellar!), shops, and a simulator theatre, which mimics airflight. All these facilities can be reached via the famous glass-faced elevator, which takes less than a minute to reach the observation deck. |

WEST OF METRO TORONTO. First opened in 1969 with forty lions, this family-owned wildlife park has grown to include over a thousand animals. The animals roam freely in large habitats, and guests drive through safari-style. The park has a very successful captive breeding program, so you'll likely see some animal youngsters along the way. In addition, there's lots of other fun stuff to see and do, including Misumu Bay Wet Play area, Jungle Playground, animal demonstrations and performances, a train tour and a lake cruise. Safari Bus tours of the animal reserves are available for an additional fee. There are two full-service restaurants, several snack carts, and two gift shops in the park. |
