Toronto's spectrum is wide and ever-changing - there is always something happening!


CN Tower:

The landmark CN Tower is one of the tallest structures in the world and also an important telecommunications hub. In 1995, the CN Tower was classified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It currently stands as the second tallest free-standing land structure in the world at 553 meters (1,815 ft), featuring a revolving restaurant, arcades, cafes, an observation deck and even a glass floor. Take the elevator to the top for a breathtaking view of the city and its surrounding areas.



Niagara Falls:

A wonder of the natural world, Niagara Falls consists of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls. On the Canadian side, water from the Niagara River plunges an average of 52 metres (170 feet) into the Maid of the Mist pool. The American Falls, which has a rocky base, descends 21-34 metres (70-110 feet).


The Maid of the Mist boat tour is a much safer way to get up close to the Falls. One of the oldest tourist attractions in North America, the Maid has been taking visitors to the base of the falls since 1846. The Maid of the Mist fleet docks just below Clifton Hill. Or if you'd rather see the falls from a distance they are lit up every evening and are the backdrop to a beautiful fireworks show in the warmer months.


There are many attractions in Niagara such as Haunted houses, arcades, Casino, and lot of fun places for all age groups. Niagara downtown is always buzzing with activity and you are sure to have fun filled day!
