St Johns's Norway Cemetary and Crematorium located on Kingston road, is perhaps one of the most accessible - if not the only - open to public 24/7. Its vicinity covers a small parameter of land compared to more renown cemetaries in the GTA. Learn more and see the pictures by clicking here.

Maple, Ontario, just north of Toronto
website
An amusement park that is fun for all ages. The Canadian version of Disneyland :) Prices can be rather nasty, as can the line-ups. Concerts take place here, but it's not usually anyone particularly exciting. Get on the 400 North and watch for signs, or go to the Yorkdale subway stop, and then to the Go/Greyhound Station where you can conveniently catch a bus.

Toronto's most romantic historic mansion. Explore elegantly decorated suites, secret passageways, stately towers, an 800 foot underground tunnel linking to luxurious stables and beautiful 5 acre estate gardens. Self guided tours are available for free - ask for your headset. I find this tour to be slower than I actually walk, however. Visit the Casa Loma website for a discount coupon before you visit.

The Canadian National Exhibition.

The tallest free-standing building in the world! And you get to go to the top of it. There's suprisingly many things to do up there, but be warned that the prices are steep. You can buy your tickets online in advance from their website. There's a glass floor in one part and you can sit on the glass, jump on it, and do all sorts of things while looking down very very far. Exciting stuff. The view is pretty nice from the top, but I must admit the view from the Empire State Building in New York City was truly spectacular. I guess it's all relative, and depends on what you are accustomed to.

Be educational and cultured and go to the R.O.M. See galleries, artifacts and more! Admission is only 5$ for students, which is a good deal for the hours of entertainment that can be provided. I prefer to visit alone so I can browse at my own pace, but that is just a personal preference.
