10 Places to Visit Around Toronto
Toronto has beautiful places to sightsee, an exciting history, and is home to one of the locations of Reynolds and Reynolds! If youâre thinking about visiting Toronto, are new to the city, or a local and need ideas for a night out, youâre in luck. Here are the top sightseeing locations according to some of our employees.
1. CN Tower
Located downtown, the CN tower is a recognizable piece of Torontoâs skyline and conducts tours year-round. While atop the CN tower, tourists can participate in what the tower claims to be âTorontoâs most extreme attraction,â Edgewalk. During Edgewalk, tourists are securely suspended over the edge of the building to experience the city in a whole new way. You can easily spend a few hours or an entire day exploring this attraction.
2. Ripleyâs Aquarium of Canada
Aquariums are always fun to visit and host family-friendly events as well as ones for adults. If youâre looking to spend an afternoon at Ripleyâs, get ready to see lionfish, jellyfish, and green sea turtles. Check out the programs they offer for a themed adventure.
3. Toronto Zoo
If you would rather look at land animals than underwater sea creatures, thereâs a zoo located an hour outside of Toronto. The Toronto Zoo is home to over 5,000 animals from all over the world and will soon have a rare Amur tiger.
4. Hockey Hall of Fame
Both hockey fans and sports enthusiasts can enjoy the Hockey Hall of Fame. It offers an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the history of the sport before and after the puck drops. In the hall of fame, visitors can look at the Montreal Canadians’ old dressing room, view how the sport is broadcasted, and see legendary trophies such as the Stanley Cup.
5. Hop-On Hop-Off City Tours
If you need more than just an afternoon of fun, the Hop-On Hop-Off city tour around Toronto is a great way to spend a weekend. This two day pass allows you to design your own personal itinerary of 20 different locations for anywhere along the city route. You can sightsee at your own pace with onboard commentary and hop off any time you would like.

A staple of Toronto, the Kensington Market hosts great food, a huge selection of beer, and live music. The market can easily be a great shopping experience or a fun afternoon with friends.
