CN Tower & Edgewalk
Toronto’s most iconic attraction is the CN Tower, the tallest free-standing structure in the western hemisphere and it now includes EdgeWalk, a thrilling hands-free walk on an outside ledge of the tower.

Casa Loma
Kids (and moms and dads…) can unleash their inner Harry Potter in North America’s only castle, Casa Loma. Casa Loma was used as a hideout for top secret Allied scientists in WWII.
The Distillery District
The Distillery District is another one of Toronto’s most vibrant neighbourhoods It was Toronto’s first distillery –which produced almost half of Ontario’s total spirit production in 1871— and is now home to high-end boutiques, art galleries and restaurants. You can take a tour here or may be lucky enough to see a movie or TV show being filmed here.
