Re: Going to Toronto -- what should I see?

Active surplus was cool, but with my current limited space I didn't get anything, but I wanted lots!

We had dinner at the top of the CN tower to celebrate the summer solstice. Very impressive and as we ate the lights of Toronto came on.

Zoo was good - Panda's were both out and active. It is a LOT of walking.

Rol San for dim sum was great, you pre-order so you know what you are getting. Street shopping in China town was fun,

CN Railway Roundtable was small but you can get close to the equipment. Make sure you check out the live steam train that they give rides on. The engine workmanship is great. They are next Steamwhistle Brewery that gives a tour of their brewing process.

Royal Ontario Museum has one of the best dino bones collections I've seen. They also have a "Inside the hidden city of China" exhibit that was worth seeing.

The Canadian art at the Royal Art Gallery was interesting and it's close to the ROM.

Found a english pub that served "proper Sunday Roast Beef" and it's only a few blocks from the Labyrinth. Also found a place with 32 adult beverages on tap.

Because it was "the start of spring" I wasn't able to hook up with any hacker spaces. Could of had we spent the extra day.

Could not get into Legoland as we went north on the 400. Adults must have a kid in tow, and the rent-a-child kiosk in front was out.

Good trip. Thanks to all that posted here and in email.
