So much to see in Toronto! Best of IgoUgo

Overview

I really enjoyed exploring downtown Toronto. The people are very unique as well as all the beautiful little shops. Queen Street in my opinion is the best if you are looking for out-of-the-ordinary items. The Eaton Centre is there, but I suggest walking along Queen itself as there is so much to see. If you love sports, I highly recommend seeing the Jays, Leafs, or Raptors play. I have been to all three over different periods and they were quite enjoyable. The Raptors games are very loud and caotic though if you aren't into a lot of noise.Quick Tips: Be aware that there are a large population of street people in downtown Toronto and you will be asked A LOT for spare change if you are on foot....Read More

Days Hotel Conference Center Toronto Downtown Best of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Days Inn"

Quote:
We got to our room and were shocked to see it was no more than 200 sq. feet. Very tiny! The fridge was in the closet as well as a small dresser. We were travelling with 2 children and we could barely move. After getting there the hotel decided to change our nightly rate even though we were confirmed at a set rate for the week. My husband almost sliced his finger off an a broken tap and our 8 year old daughter was subjected to a porn channel when she turned on the television (it was supposed to be locked). We requested it to be locked and finally after 4 days they sent someone up. The housekeeping staff are wonderful and friendly. We were impressed with them. Also we were evacuated out of the hotel ...Read More

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at the Old Spagetti Factory. The food was great and the service was friendly. I walked out very full as the portions are quite big.

Canada's Wonderland Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Paramount Canada's Wonderland"

Quote:
I highly recommend Canada's Wonderland, but what I notice is that a lot of people take food coolers and picnics just outside the park on picnic tables or the grass. The food sold at the park is good and plentiful, but quite pricey. I love the rides as there is such a great mix. There are usually shows and there is an aquarium that has shows as well.
