kactus Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hey guys, I am planning to visit Toronto this Summer. A relative of mine lives in Richmond Hill by the lake. I am planning to explore what the place has to offer. Would welcome your suggestions on places and the months that are ideal for a visit. I am staying there for two weeks.

Michael Hardner Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Early summer / spring is better and hopefully less hot. My 'things to do' is downtown. Toronto Island - but take a water taxi to save time... Catch a ball game.. Shop for nicknacks and sit on a patio in Kensington for colour and people watching... Participate in a festival: Fringe Theatre festival, Pride, Caribana.. Depends on what you like doing... Richmond Hill has a lake ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kactus Posted March 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 Thanks Michael. Their house is in Richmond Hill. Their villa is by the lake. Plan is to get on a boat and see the surrounding. I don't know the name will find the name of the place by the lake. I like nature and places to discover. Will definitely give the fringe festival theatre a try.

Michael Hardner Posted March 25, 2017 Report Share Posted March 25, 2017 You need to tell me which Lake. Are you coming from outside Canada ? Your relative lives in the suburbs, maybe outer suburbs. So you have an exciting city about 30-45 minute drive or train ride away with some attractions as I said. If you like nature, head the other way - north.

kactus Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 The lake is called Simcoe. Do you know it? And yes I will be travelling from outside Canada. Given the time constraints for my stay I will need to plan the trip to the North. Any particular town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Try Barrie. That's where you'll find Lake Simcoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GostHacked Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 CN Tower is a must visit. Walk the water front. Ontario Science Center, plenty of great museums. I am sure there is still a great nightlife scene with clubs pumping out the electronic music. But there are plenty other clubs that offer different music.

kactus Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thanks guys. Looking forward to my very first visit to your lovely country and what it has to offer. CN Tower, Kensington pasio and Ontario space centre and Niagara Falls is already in the bag. I quite enjoy hiking so there will b e plenty of that packed in this trip. I hear you have crazy Summers as it tends to get very hot. So will have to see how I can cope with the heat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
