1) CN Tower: Get the ultimate bird’s eye view of Tornoto at 1,500 feet with a visit to the top of the CN Tower. Feel like living on the edge (literally)? Check out the Edge Walk, where guides will harness you in before you get to lean over the edge of the roof deck! Now that’s an extreme (yet safe) selfie.

2) Steam Whistle Brewery: We clearly approve of this beer’s train-inspired name. Check out this famous local Pilsner brew made with fresh Canadian spring water and sip on samples and nosh on bites like fresh pretzels with mustard, or a deli sandwich to wash it all down with.
