Historic Distillery District

In the 1800s, this waterfront district was dominated by Gooderham and Worts, Canada's largest distillery. Today, the 47 buildings that made up the distillery have been lovingly restored and repurposed, now housing shops, galleries, eateries, studios and even a brewery. The pedestrian-only cobblestone streets make for a wonderful afternoon of exploring.

Hockey is close to religion in Canada, so it would seem wrong to visit Toronto without having your own hockey experience. Whether or not you're a fan of the sport, cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Scotiabank Arena is somewhat contagious. During the off-season, a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum, which houses the original Stanley Cup and myriad other artifacts, is a good way to get in the hockey spirit.

The Toronto Zoo features giant pandas and immersive wildlife experiences.
