As the largest city in Canada, multicultural and charming Toronto is a wonderful holiday destination and a great start to any family’s Canadian journey of discovery. Art lovers rejoice, there’s plenty here to inspire you and when it comes to food, European, Korean, Malaysian and more are all on the menu, along with a happening music scene. Toronto is a melting pot of amusement with something for everyone, but if you’re planning
on heading out of the city, there’s even more to discover.

In vibrant downtown, the Eaton Centre lures customers into its multi-level maze of glass with some 300 shops and restaurants.
The GreaT Lakes
If large bodies of water float your boat, an ideal day trip for couples from Toronto is a visit to the great lakes. Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario form the largest group of freshwater lakes on earth and take up a whopping 21 per cent of the world’s surface fresh water. Salmon and trout fishing charters offer a different way to see the spectacular scenery as well as giving you an insight into Canada’s fishing industry.
Lake OnTariO
Lake Ontario on its own takes less than 10 minutes to reach from Toronto on the ferry and a round-trip will cost just AU$6.50/ NZ$8.40. Rent a bike and explore the pretty trails, play a game of tennis, explore the lighthouses, hire a boat for some sailing, indulge in an ice cream and feed the ducks. Centre Island’s traditional amusement park, Centreville, is a great idea for entertaining the kids.

You’ll be mesmerised by the intricate old interior. Old Montreal (Vieux-Montréal) is beautifully preserved and boasts some
great restaurants and unique shopping opportunities.

There’s no place to better appreciate mother nature’s power than Niagara Falls, and for AU$40-$60 / NZ$50-$80, you can rent a car and drive there from Toronto in roughly 90 minutes if the traffic is good. There are also regular trains running from Toronto’s Union Station to the train station in Niagara Falls. Once you’re there, the historic Maid of the Mist tour will take you past the American, Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls in a very fetching blue raincoat.
