Toronto area attractions, zoos etc.?

Question

I was hoping to go to toronto zoo this summer and then to marine land in the same trip. id like to go to much music also.

what are some good places to go, like beaches, unique places. any boat rides, especially scuba diving, hot air baloons?

are there any chinese stores, african stores that I would want to know about? i heard of a china town but what is it?

also someone told me about a safari type thing where you ride through where animals are, i dont know if its in toronto or somewhere else in ontario.

plz dont leave me a link unless its specific about one thing or another.

Answer 1

You may consider CityPAss.  It's also the name of the website.  Basically it is a package deal for 6 attractions.  Canada's Wonderland is not far, Wasaga Beach

Answer 2

African Lion Safari, it is in Hamilton, outside of Toronto.   Marine Land is actually in Niagara Falls, not Toronto.   It is about and hour and a half drive from Toronto.

There is the CN tower, Casa Loma, Toronto Island, there are countless boat trips out of harbourfront, I am not sure about scuba diving, Lake Ontario isn't very pleasant.

Chinatown is actually pretty large, a little sketchy but a lot of hidden gems, right of China town is kensignton market which is a melting pot of many cultures, interesting shops and just an very eclectic mix of people and stores.

Answer 3

I can answer a bit of your question.  Yes, there is a China Town, and right next to it is Kensington Market where you will find many other interesting and unique markets and stores.  Here are a couple of links that will help you with that area.  Casa Loma might also be worth a visit if you are interested in stuff like that.  Have fun.
