There's more to enjoy in the city this summer than beaches. Some of Toronto's biggest attractions have new and exciting features for summer 2016, both indoors and outdoors. Here's a look at what's new this summer.
Art Gallery of Ontario
If you're looking to get some culture, there's plenty to see and do at the Art Gallery of Ontario, including art exhibits and collections from around the world. Right now there's Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musee National Picasso, Paris, which runs until August 26.
Canada's Wonderland
Just outside the city limits is Canada's Wonderland, the biggest theme park in Canada. This year sees a lot of new additions to the park, most notably Leviathon, one of the world's longest and tallest roller coasters. There's also an interactive dinosaur park, stage shows for the kids and Splash Works water park.
Casa Loma
The city's only historic castle is a great place to take the kids for a day of exploration through the castle grounds, gardens and stables. The venue has many events going on throughout the year, and this summer's activities include archery courses and Teddy Bear Picnics for kids aged two and up.
Black Creek Pioneer Village
The village features people dressed up for the 19th century, living the old fashioned way. There are gardens, farms filled with animals and more than 30 historical buildings to explore. During the week visitors can tour the grounds, meet with historians, practice Victorian traditions, taste samples in the brewery and more. The site has activities on holidays, like a Revolutionary War reenactment and BBQ on Father's day and a Canada Day Celebration.
Toronto Zoo
The Toronto Zoo has more than 5,000 animals on display, including some new faces this year. A polar bear cub named Hudson made his debut (首次演出) in March, and starting in May there is a pair of rare White Lions in the African Savannah section. Be sure to stay for informative talks and presentations from the animal handlers, presented daily.
