Toronto

Monday: The Ontario Science Center

We got into this museum for free (a $53 value) because we are members of our local children's museum (a $60 purchase). It was worth everything we didn't pay for it:) The kids loved the children's areas as well as many of the more grown up exhibits. When we were deciding what to do our last day in Toronto, we considered going back and spending another day there. It was a lot of fun! The pictures show Briton using the conveyor belt in the construction area and Abby building her own roller coaster. After the science center we drove into downtown and looked at the base of the CN Tower - 1800 feet below the top!

Tuesday: Ontario Place

Ontario Place is an amusement park/water park/IMAX theater. We watched a movie (about bugs, of course), played at the splash pad, rode a paddle boat and rode carnival type rides. The kids were thrilled about (almost) all of it! Our only problem was that our kids are small so they didn't meet the height restrictions for a lot of the rides. They thought it was a huge treat to be able to ride what they could though.

Wednesday: The Toronto Zoo

I was really impressed with the Toronto Zoo. The enclosures are big and natural and there are some really beautiful animals. Being our third day of go-go-going, we were pretty tired and didn't see everything, but we liked what we saw. The zoo has a nice splash pad as well so that was a treat for all of us!
