A short ferry ride to beaches, bike paths and the Centreville fairground.
Lie on the glass floor 342 metres up, if anyone dares.
A moving walkway through a shark tunnel, right by the CN Tower.

A huge park with a free zoo, playgrounds and cherry blossom in May.
Yes. It's clean, safe and easy to get around on the subway and streetcars, with lots for children, from the islands to the science centre.
