Take a tour of this Elizabethan style mansion that was built by Sir Henry Pellat. Sir Henry built Casa Loma in 1914 for $5 million. He imported marble, glass, and paneling from Europe, teak from Asia, and oak and walnut from prime areas of North America. Sir Henry even imported Scottish stonemasons to construct the walls surrounding the six-acre site. Complete with Rhineland turrets, secret passages, and an 800-foot underground tunnel, Casa Loma is a favorite attraction for people of all ages.

An educating and architecturally spectacular site in Toronto is the New City Hall. With its modernistic style designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell, the New City Hall is comprised of two curved towers of unequal heights. These towers are built around a circular council chamber and public space. This wonderful piece of architecture provides a sculptural backdrop for Nathan Phillips Square , where you can gaze at the beautiful fountains, flowers, and reflecting pool.

The CN Tower is a 1,815 feet tall tower and is the first thing you see when you enter the city. Considering it is the tallest freestanding structure in the world, it is hard not to be instantly drawn to this splendid needle like structure. In just under one minute, you can be whisked 1,136 feet above the ground to the sky pod. Directly above the sky pod sits the world’s tallest observation deck. At 1,465 feet above ground level, you can enjoy a clear day’s view of Niagara Falls, and sometimes you can even see Buffalo.

If there is one stop that will get your students’ attention, this is the one. Come visit the home field of the Blue Jays, where you can get a true feel of the dome atmosphere. The Rogers Center seats 53,000, and it also features the world’s first fully retractable roof. If you are lucky, you may be there while the roof is retracting.

It’s hard to imagine that this beautiful park resting on 96-acres of prime waterfront property at one time was all abandoned warehouses, shabby depots, and dilapidated factories. It’s true, and in 1972 the federal government took over the land to preserve the waterfront vista. Now it's a tremendous urban park with more than 100 shops and restaurants. The fully refurbished 1927 building was transformed into bright and airy two-story marketplace with garden courts, skylights, and waterfalls.
