The Best Museums
- Royal Ontario Museum, 100 Queen's Park (tel. 416/586-8000): The ROM is quite possibly the best museum in the country. Its major renovation now complete, the whole family can go back to admiring its dinosaurs, Chinese temple art, Roman statues, and Middle Eastern mosaics.
- Harbourfront Centre, 235 Queens Quay W. (tel. 416/973-4000): While it isn't exactly a museum, this waterfront complex has art exhibits, musical performances, cultural celebrations, outdoor Artists' Gardens, and many special events. The highlight of its calendar is the International Festival of Authors.
- Ontario Science Centre, 770 Don Mills Rd. (tel. 416/696-3127): You don't have to be a tyke to appreciate the amazing interactive displays about biology, ecology, and technology here.
- University of Toronto Art Centre, 15 King's College Circle (tel. 416/978-1838): This intimate gallery is one of the city's secret treasures. Visit it for the special exhibits or for the stunning permanent collection of Byzantine art.
- Casa Loma, 1 Austin Terrace (tel. 416/923-1171): Toronto has its own castle, and it's a smashing example of architecture. Perhaps the man who built it was a little obsessive, but how can you not admire the fact that it has both a Scottish and a Norman tower?
