The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Midtown, Canada
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

We started going here early during the pandemic and have been coming back regularly since then to walk around and look at the grave stones. It is a fine place for contemplation. Today was no exception: an unusually nice and mild autumn afternoon. This time we did not visit the grave of W.L. Mackenzie King but went into the eastern section, where we came across the monument commemorating the crash of AC flight 621 in Woodbridge, ON, in July, 1970. I remember hearing about it the day a happened. Fifty years ago: time does fly.

This library might be one of the best in the Toronto Public Library system. It holds awesome events, including the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF), is the location of the Arthur Conan Doyle special collections (a must see for Sherlock Holmes fans), has hard working staff, and is visually stunning. Plus several film shoots and weddings have happened here!
7. Casa Loma
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7,568 reviews
Canada's majestic castle and Toronto’s premier historic attraction. In 1911, Sir Henry Pellatt engaged noted architect E.J. Lennox to help him realize a lifelong dream,the creation of an Edwardian castle on the top of a hill overlooking Toronto. It took 300 men nearly three years to complete the nearly to 200,000 square foot castle at a cost $3,500,000 (at the time). Situated on 5 acres, Casa Loma was the largest private residence in Canada. Sir Henry Pellatt with his wife Lady Mary enjoyed Casa Loma for less than ten years before financial misfortune forced him to abandon his home. The tour of the castle is self-guided. Visitors can experience the castle at their leisure with the aid of multimedia audio guides.

This was one of my favorite tourist attactions in Toronto. It's in the Annex District, the neighborhood where Margaret Atwood--author of The Handmaid's Tale--lives. The self-guided tour is very well done, you pick up a map and a telephone reciever-like device that can hang around your neck. The map shows you how to walk the property and each room has a number to type in to be able to learn about Sir Henry Pellatt and his fourtune then downfall, as well as the construction of his great castle. The basement has the movie posters of all the films/tv shows that were filmed there, as well as a tv playing the clips of each. It was great to walk through the whole castle, then make it down to the basement to recognize each room as the clips played on screen. My only disapointment was, they were setting up for a wedding in the conservatory, so we could not fully explore the room.

4.5 based on 301 reviews
The years between the two Great Wars, when Toronto experienced increased immigration, the vote for women, the stock market crash, prohibition and the introduction of public health and welfare. It's also the time of the Charleston craze, tabloid journalism, new technology and more. And it can all be seen, heard, felt and lived at Spadina Museum - Toronto's only museum to represent the 1920s and 30s, a transformative period that dramatically changed the City. For over a century, Spadina was home to three generations of the Austin family. Opened in 1984, it is one of 10 historic sites operated by the City of Toronto. Spadina Museum completed an extensive interior restoration in 2010, bringing the house back into the twentieth century. Visitors may view what the house looked like during those years through artifacts, furnishings and reproduced and original decor or explore the estate's six acres of restored 1905 gardens. Today, Spadina Museum interprets the interwar period through a rich slate of guided tours, school programs, special events, changing exhibits, lectures and workshops. Spadina Museum is one of 10 historic museums operated by the City of Toronto. Toronto's Historic Sites engage visitors, inspire passion, challenge ideas and connect the past to the present.

Visited the Spadina House yesterday. Loved the Informative guided tour , apple cedar and homemade cookies included with the admission. I was really impressed with the beauty and design of this grand house. The staff were friendly and so knowledgable. I will return for their other events at this wonderful venue. Thanks. ????

The history of the brick works is a story to be told. Partial parts have been kept. The Saturday farmers market is wonderful - the organics, the unique foods. A great way to stock up on food for the week. Easy to get to from Broadway Subway Station. The restaurant is great - be prepared to wait on weekends. And a great place to learn to about sustainable methods - personal or commercial.

William Maddox is the church's organist and choir director. Bill is a very accomplished organist and invites colleagues to perform on YPBC's magnificent Casavant organ. The programs run from 12:30 to 12;55 on many Wednesdays but check the church's website to ensure a concert is planned for the day you plan to attend.
