Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day trip to Niagara Falls or a visit to the Toronto Zoo for family-friendly fun. To shorten the itinerary, skip one of the museums (ROM or AGO) and replace the evening activity with a relaxed dinner in the Distillery District. Public transit (TTC) is efficient and economical, so purchasing a weekly pass can reduce transportation costs.
