    Question for Toronto-area guys.

    My wife and I are planning a weekend trip to Toronto in July. We're driving up on Friday and catching a Yanks-Jays game that night. We're driving home on Sunday.

    So, the question is, what do you recommend that we do on Saturday? We don't care about fancy restaurants. Would rather eat cheap and spend our money on something else.

    I'm familiar with the tower. We went to a Jays game 7 years ago. Didn't go up the tower, but we thought about it. I'll Google the other stuff. Thanks!

    Don't forget the Hockey hall of fame in the same area.

    or the Ontario Science Centre

    Here is the Tourism Toronto website

    How about a kilt night at a local pub?

    It is indeed YONGE Street.

    It's only a 2 hour drive to Niagara Falls. If you go that way, be sure to stop in Niagara-On-The_lake, pretty little town. The Royal Ontario Museum is a great stop. If the weather is good, Toronto is a great city for walking, try Kensignton Market and China Town, Queen St. West, Yorkville, Bloor St. West.

    Man, am I homesick!

    Thanks, guys. I'll check out McMurdo's links and the other things you mentioned. We've been to Niagara Falls several times and don't care if we spend any time there on this trip. Visited Niagara on the Lake, briefly, a few years back.

    I'll broach the kilt night subject with she-who-must-be-obeyed. It would be great to meet some of you guys.
