Being the ice-cream addict that I am, monthly trips to DQ are a staple in my life. There's nothing really special about the inside of this location. It is small, the staff aren't overly friendly, it gets crowded because its one of the only fast food…More »

As far as zoos go, this place is awesome. Its huge, its a lot of walking, but you do have the option of taking the "zoo mobile" for an extra $5. As far as the landscaping goes - my biggest suggestion is to skip the Canadian exhibit if you are tired…More »

I find I am beginning to love Kensington Market more and more. When I first moved to Toronto, I'll admit, I didn't get the hype. It was just a collection of fruit markets and garage-sale items.

Then I found Yelp.

There are some awesome little bars,…More »

I love the Harbourfront Centre. I know I'm in for a good day if the sky is clear and I have plans to go there.

I've lived in the GTA my whole life, but I honestly think I enjoy the boat tours here more than visitors. The best one is Shark Attack -…More »

Toronto Island

4.0 star rating

I love Toronto Island. The best thing to do here is rent a bike, even one of those silly 4 seaters with a group, and just go exploring. I like packing a lunch, finding a quiet spot to eat it, and just enjoying the nice weather.

This place is really…More »
