First off, I'll confess that I absolutely love Canada. Most Buffalonians do, too. As long as you have all your paperwork to cross the international border, a 2.5 hour drive isn't too bad for a nice day trip to Toronto. In fact, it's definitely worth an overnight trip. What's to do in Toronto, you ask? Well, some pretty cool stuff, no matter what time of year you go!
This is a BIG deal, but the City Pass. It includes admission to:
1. CN Tower
2. Ripley's Aquarium of Canada
3. Casa Loma
4. Royal Ontario Museum
5. Toronto Zoo OR Ontario Science Centre
City Pass tickets are approx. $70 CAD for adults and $47 CAD for kids (depending on the deal you get when you buy them) https://www.citypass.com/toronto
This looks like a great weekend getaway with the kids!
