I'm heading to Toronto for a few days with some buddies. We have never been there. Any suggestions on what to do there? Favorite bars/restaurants/things you gotta do? Thanks for any suggestions!

Go to Ripley's aquarium, CA Tower, watch a raptors game, check out Kensington market, st Lawrence market, yorkville has cool cars, steam whistle tour. Lots of touristy stuff to do.

Ive heard that the Raptors are sold out for the remainder of the season, but the rest of those are good suggestions.

CN tower is pretty overpriced in my opinion, but is definitely a cool thing to do once.

Not sure how they operate (if at all) in the winter/early spring, but the Toronto Zoo is also a good experience, so look into it.

Yeah you're probably right haha they're absolutely slaying this season so that makes sense. And yes Toronto zoo is dope.

The Eaton Centre is pretty cool imo. If not there's a ton of sex shops right down the street.

Go to Casa Loma its a castle and a bunch of movies where filmed there it's pretty sweet. Make sure to check prices of a restaurant before you go in lots of them are super expensive. Also check out their China has some cool stuff in it.

Thanks for the tip about expensive food - I've heard that it's quite pricey! Will definitely check out the Casa Loma castle.

Got a spot in Kensington Market! Have heard good things about the area. Kinda "hipster" eclectic area? Good deal.

I'll vouch for this. The art museum on Dundas St West is pretty sick.

right on, kensington is cool forsure.
youre pretty much right downtown, so everything i suggest you can either walk to or take a quick streetcar/subway.
a lot depends on when you are going, and if you got a bit of money to spend or are just looking to tour around on the cheap.
there is a ton of cool shit to do for free, but there is also a ton of cool shit to spend money on.
its a big city, and every neighborhood has its own flavour.
i suggest just putting your sails up and letting the wind take you wherever.
you really cant go wrong.

if you and your buds are into the arts, go to art gallery of ontario, or the royal ontario museum.

if you just want to get high and tour around the city. i would walk queen west, head to yonge and dundas square, maybe check out university of toronto and get pervy with some students.

if you want to get hammered, go to the steamwhistle brewery, or amsterdam brewhouse.
or there is little bars and pubs everywhere.

message me back, let me know what your plan is and what youre into and ill give you a decent to do list.

The CN tower is cool but really expensive.
Check out the Jays stadium and the glass history of baseball thing on the wall (I know the artists who made it)
There was an amazing cheesecake place i went to. I don't remember what it was called but it was in a basement.
Skate all the spots
take the train to ottawa or Mississauga to swim in the lake
