Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day for a day‑trip to the nearby Niagara‑on‑the‑Lake and a winery tour, or extend the Toronto Islands visit with a kayak outing. To shorten the itinerary, combine the museum and gallery visits into a half‑day, skip the evening show on Day 4, and replace the afternoon Zoo visit with a quick stroll through the nearby Gardiner Museum. This flexibility lets you tailor the trip to your schedule and interests.
