    Excellent produce market in old Toronto. Great selection of meats, fish cheese and a really nice ambiance. Home also of the famous bacon sandwich and it doesn't disappoint. Opens at nine in the morning.
    This is a good market but having recently been to Valencia market it pales.

    Back here at ROM on Tue, Dec 19, for another 3rd Tuesday Night Free event (4:30PM-8:30PM). We arrived before 5PM, Queen's Park museum entrance was locked (with a note to use main entrance) so had to go around the block to Bloor St W to get in. Futalognkosaurus area of the main lobby was quite busy. Apparently, we weren't the only ones who planned a free night at the museum. We headed straight to the elevators to get to level 3 where we had a quick look at the European period rooms and current life jacket art installation. Got a little lost when we couldn't locate some Asia exhibits we've seen last time. Encountered some closed off galleries so went back to the elevator lobby. Son volunteered to grab a map guide before we continued on. We then took a peek at Byzantium, Rome and Egypt galleries then segued to gender-neutral washrooms with multiple private stalls equipped with touchless toilet, faucet and hand dryer, still on level 3. From here, we found our way to the Rotunda where we posed for photos with the lovely mosaic dome as background. We headed to the newest permanent gallery on level 2, unveiled in Dec 2021, Dawn of Life, where we saw Fractofusus and a massive Dunkleosteus fish bronze cast. At the end of this gallery is a set of doors that open directly to where Gordo the Barosaurus is located. Of course, a visit to the Age of Dinosaurs gallery wouldn't be complete without a brief stop at the T-Rex. However, it got crowded here pretty fast so we left after a couple of obligatory photos. We only stayed an hour inside the museum so admittedly didn't see a lot. We plan to visit ROM again to explore those permanent galleries we haven't seen in years.

    Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Loved every moment at Casa Loma. I highly recommend having dinner at Casa Loma, as prices were fair with the portions and taste of the food. Top shelve all the way around

    I am over from the UK and had done the Steam Whistle Tour before. However, Kenny was top level. Engaging, knowledgeable and made the whole tour really dynamic. We also got a bonus bottle of beer, with the tour, and got to sample some of the ingredients (one recommended, one less so!). I'm inbetween sightseeing stuff and, because of how good Kenny was, I've popped on to write a review. If you're in the area, and Kenny is hosting, do it. The Canadian Jack Black!

    Free on Wednesday Nights.

    This is a great gallery from ancient art to modern art.
    There are not just painting/pictures there are installations where you can take Instagram pictures with.

    Also there are some VERY famous artists housed in here. If you go, can you spot them?

    Wednesday night was really busy and mostly filled with students which was great to see.

    There is a trans art installation which is great to view from anyone art of the LBGTQIA+ community.

    Gift shop at the end was big and has some great items for sale.

    If you're a hockey fan, this is a must!!! Well worth the price of admission!. The exhibits are impressive, and you relieve the history of hockey. To see the trophies,the Stanley Cup. Impressive!! A must! The interactive shooting simulators are awesome.

    Fantastic! Went with our 5 year old grandson. The recommended time for viewing was 90 minutes, we spent around 4 hours! Loved Niagara Falls, seeing Clifton Hill and Niagara on the Lake. The fireworks and show on Canada Day at the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa was great. Seeing Terry Fox dip his prosthetic foot in the Atlantic and the monument to him brought back memories and was meaningful to our grandson who participated in his school's Terry Fox run last fall. The staff were approachable and knowledgeable. Fun to see future areas under construction and learning how the cars and trucks operate. Some whimsical little scenes we loved: flying saucer and aliens on the roof of the TTC headquarters, monster breaking through the highway. Finding Maurice the Moose was fun! Will go again!

    I was there for Blue Jays as a fan of a baseball team for the first time in my life. Although I found baseball quite boring, I enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks, especially Blue Jay's special edition beers served there.

    A beautiful place to see. Not much else to do in the area so if you are here definitely stop in. The gift shop is not located here.

    I had such a great time at the matinee of Six at the Royal Alex Theatre. We took the Go to Union Station and walked to the theatre. We stopped to eat at The Loose Moose and it was fabulous. The Royal Alex has nice seats and they are a decent size. A larger/taller person could be comfortable here.

    A great mix of stores over different levels and different price ranges.
    Food court at the bottom, pretty big.

    Lots of scaffolding. Not sure if it’s been there long or not but that part wasn’t great.

    Mom and daughter attended To Kill a Mockingbird and were thoroughly impressed with the cast and the set design and for their second show last night, off without a hitch and so enjoyable! I loved the book by Harper Lee and was so impressed how the messaging of racism and community forgiveness was such a strong message in the show. They nailed the story and received a standing ovation. Richard Thomas as the !star was a perfect pick for Atticus and Melanie Moore as Scout was spot on! All the cast were brilliant in their roles.

    Staff at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre from coat check to pouring wine were efficient and friendly. During intermission they even had a bathroom attendant waving us in the open cubicles to speed the line up. Very much appreciated. Only poor comment is that the seats are narrow and no individual arm rests.

    Thank-you for a lovely show and experience!

    The Best way to watch the Raptors game. The atmosphere that the fans brought makes it an unparalleled experience. There was a broad selection of food. Had a wonderful time despite the loss.

    Have seen many shows at this theatre but as other reviews have mentioned, the washroom situation is not great. Our seats were row BB and CC 16, aisle seats. View was okay to see everything, and space to stretch legs and no heads in the way. The show Les Miserables was fantastic; a bit different than what I remember. Still great!
