 | What should Phobiaphobe do in Toronto? Naively, when an old college friend asked me about 18 months ago to be in his wedding party, I agreed. I'm flying to Pearson tomorrow morning, arrive 12:45 pm, then I have to wait until about 6pm for my ride to Perth where the wedding is being held. So I've got at least 5 hours to kill in Toronto tomorrow. I figured I'd go downtown rather than bumming around the airport, so I need some idea of where to go, what to do. Haven't been there for a few years. Ideas? | |

| Re: What should Phobiaphobe do in Toronto? If you're into art, there's a great museum with one of the largest collection of Henry Moore sculptures. Great shopping for clothes downtown, European style with US prices? Lots of ethnic neighbourhoods for lunch. |

| Re: What should Phobiaphobe do in Toronto? I think that you mean castle loma? That is a very cool place too  you could go to mcbrides cycle downtown ride the subway lots of good ethnic food places around too. go to the cn tower(Its the center of the universe you know  )take a tour of the Rogers dome(aka skydome) Go to a movie at the Imax? Just a couple of ideas...not really familliar with T.O. either |

 | Re: What should Phobiaphobe do in Toronto? the HO's are on jarvis ( not from experience ), ok it is but just from heckling them after some heavy drinking club nights  i'd say CN tower's a good visit. have lunch at the top, get a good view of toronto. if you had more than 5 hours, then i'd say canada's wonderland. You could also enjoy the beaches ( Q beach on lakeshore). Eaton town centre for some shopping. Avoid mcbrides, they suck and are over priced!! |
