What you do depends on your preferences.
Toronto Theatre .... life abound, large and small, and cinema / movies are everywhere, and Toronto is often the case for major films are first released for public viewing, even ahead of any U.S. cities.
Bars and clubs after hours of fun are available as well, and Toronto sports major league baseball teams, football, soccer, basketball and hockey, depending on the season.
The CN Tower is a major tourist attraction, being the tallest building in the republic, and from which you can walk on a closed platform that lets you see most of Toronto from a height of 1200 feet . It also has a restaurant which rotates around the tower every hour. Food quality and service, it can sometimes be very good, but most often ranges from good to poor down. Immediately to the south a series of islands connected by small bridges and accessible by a ferry across the harbor, a distance of nearly a mile, depending on destination. The west end of the archipelago is an airport, and is also accessible by ferry
but there is the distance from shore is only a hundred meters.
This can be a calm and relaxing place to spend a day, or get away from the noise of the city for a picnic. Food and entertainment for children is available, bicycles can be rented and bathing is usually open.
Across Toronto shopping is readily available, the area of Bloor and Yonge being the most expensive, but shopping malls, both open and inside are all around the city. The Eaton Centre is the main shopping attraction, located just off the Town Hall at Yonge and Queen.
underground shopping and entertainment is also there, as underpasses that run north of the Eaton Centre to Union Station (more than half a mile) provide many underground magazines, amenities, dining and entertainment, as well as access to things above ground, such as hotels, banks and theaters.
type of transport varies, but is available all day and night in downtown areas, less in the suburbs. Depending on your location, you can travel by bus, tram (electric cars that run on rails and carts use spring connect to overhead wires) and subway. Taxis, of course, are everywhere, at any time.
Food choices are open to your imagination, like Toronto probably has the largest selection of any major city, with restaurants representing food from all countries to reach. Most of it is even reasonable in price and quite good.
Large ethnic areas exist. In the east is the Greek and Indian / Pakistani, half-city is Chinese and Vietnamese, as well as Korea. A little west of who is Portuguese, mid-east to north of the Jewish quarter and between the two is Little Italy.
Toronto even has its own real castle, Casa Loma. He has no history of castles Columbia, but it has its own character and panache. Three is a great zoo and well recognized in the east of the city, where the animals have the freedom and YOU are in a cage .... or it seems that way.
Remember that Toronto is a big city, so if there is a special attraction that you want to see, check a map and / or ask for help before venturing: traveling from the airport (north West) at the zoo (east) is greater than forty miles along the road. This road (called 401) is an adventure if you are not accustomed to heavy traffic. In Toronto he has up to 16 lanes .... 8 in each direction.
Niagara Falls ..... an area very entertaining. The decor is nothing short of spectacular. There is an eclectic area on Stanley Street which provides the aura of a carnival with lots of things available.
