The the moving sidewalk that takes you through an underwater Dangerous Lagoon tunnel is a crowd favorite. The Discovery Centre features hands-on touch pools which are fun and educational for kids. The Canadian Waters exhibit enlightens visitor about local marine life, while others focus on exotic fish from far-flung habitats.
11. CN Tower
Toronto’s CN Tower was the world’s tallest free-standing structure and tower for 34 years, recently eclipsed by some structures in the Far and Middle East. Today it’s the world’s third tallest and the tallest in the Western Hemisphere, offering breathtaking views over the city. Jump on the glass floor, if you dare, or take the EdgeWalk around the roof of the Sky Pod if you want an adrenaline thrill. The CN Tower is the defining landmark in the city, so while it may be a tad touristy, it is one of the must-see highlights of Toronto.
