Amazing Places To Visit When In Ontario

by

Ontario, home of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators, is a rather popular tourist destination, and it’s easy to see why. With its spectacular skyscrapers, picturesque views, and intriguing attractions, the opportunities to sightsee and explore are seemingly endless. Ontario not only offers appealing sights but is also filled with plenty of historical and educational experiences as well. 

If there’s one thing you won’t find in Ontario, it’ll be a lack of things to do. There’s certainly something for every kind of individual, from the obsessive history fanatic to the most daring backpacker, Ontario has got everyone covered. 

Here’s a list of amazing places to see in Ontario that you can add to the itinerary for your next trip up to the Great White North. 

1. The Royal Ontario Museum

History buff or not, the Royal Ontario Museum is one of those places you can’t afford to miss on your trip. It’s decidedly one of the more popular tourist attractions in the province, holding a record as one of the largest museums in the country. It’s situated in Toronto and has been in existence since the year 1914, hence the building alone carries plenty of antiquity within its very bricks. 

The museum displays over 13 million objects, the majority being art and culture pieces. Some artifacts are more historical in nature, many of which were gathered from other parts of the world. The museum also contains many iconic galleries, including the Thorsell Spirit House and the Samuel Hall Curelly Gallery, both of which do a great job of not only showcasing the architectural grandeur of the museum but also highlighting art pieces, prehistoric fossils, and even melodic soundscapes (provided by the former}. 

The museum is still actively gathering historical relics and establishing additional exhibits and attractions so there’s always going to be something new to see and experience every year.

2. Niagara Falls

A trip to Ontario would not be complete without a visit to Niagara Falls. This majestic natural waterfall is truly an amazing feat of nature. The falls are an internationally recognized attraction that draws plenty of tourists year-round. It actually forms a collection of three waterfalls; the largest is known as the Horseshoe Falls, which is around 57 meters in height, stretching between Niagara Falls, Canada, and Niagara Falls USA. The combination of such large volumes of water tumbling from such extensive heights is sure to be awe-inspiring.

There are plenty of spots providing great views of the falls and there are even Day trip tours provided to enhance one’s experience. Visitors are able to explore the walkways situated near the river and the falls, all the way to the very end of the gorge where there are plenty of photo-ops to be taken. 

3. Toronto

Canada’s largest city, Toronto, is probably one of the best places to be if you’re a sports fan. The city boasts many sports complexes and attractions where you can need not just attend sporting events but participate in various sports with your own team of friends. The city hosts many different sports such as baseball, football, CFL football, golf, and the most popular, ice hockey. These competitions are held all year round with facilities equipped for both provincial and international events. Many of the sports arenas also host concerts, fairs, trade shows, and award ceremonies in addition to games. 

Also, if you’re into gambling or sports betting, Toronto certainly lacks neither. There are many casinos and sports lounges available, where bettors can place wagers on their favorite teams. While you’re in Toronto don’t forget to spend time at some of the legal online casinos in Ontario, an option not available in other Canadian provinces. These online casinos provide the convenience of placing bets from your mobile phone, tablet, or laptop through a designated application, without ever having to leave your hotel or room. 

4. The CN Tower

The CN Tower is yet another feat of human engineering and architecture and is an iconic addition to Toronto’s Skyline. It’s impossible to miss this structure when in Ontario, even at night, thanks to the many lights that pinpoint its majestic structure. To fully experience the tower, however, you’d need to take the elevator ride up to its observation deck and restaurant. 

For any thrill seeker, this is the place to be. The tower also offers experiences such as the Edgewalk and Skypod, both of which allow even more spectacular views of the city. The LookOut level is also a popular feature. It comprises floor-to-ceiling windows, doors, and even floors. For those who harbor a fear of heights, you might want to stick to the observation deck, which is only three-quarters of the way up. 

Ontario has a little something of everything, regardless of what you’re into. This by no means is a complete list of all the magnificent sights the province has to offer, but it’s certainly a starting point. The city is quite vast, offering plenty of adventures and possibilities. If there’s difficulty to be found, it’s in choosing what to do next.Â
