Answer 4

The CN tower as well the CNE science centre , are probably your main attraction . You might want to visit Toronto website and its attractions .Enjoy your visit here and good luck .

Answer 5

There's actually pretty much nothing. Hate to break it to you, but Toronto is a pretty boring place.

However, here are some suggestions (they're not that exciting):

Royal Ontario Museum (apparently, though, the gallery is quite badly stocked)

CN Tower

Queen's Park (site of the Ontario legislature)

University of Toronto (nice grounds, some old buildings)

Science Centre (quite dull)

I'd say your first stop should be Mt. Pleasant Cemetary- it really is beautiful and there are old tombstones (like those of the pioneers). There are also famous Canadians buried there. That's pretty much the highlight of Toronto.
