Royal Ontario Museum
2026 Global 100 - Best Things to Do

Royal Ontario Museum

9.3
4.6/5
464 reviews
The Royal Ontario Museum is located in downtown Toronto, adjacent to Queen's Park and the University of Toronto. Planned in 1912 and officially opened in 1914, it is a comprehensive museum integrating art, world culture, and natural history, with a collection totaling in the tens of millions, making it one of the largest in North America. The museum building itself is an attraction: the century-old classical facade features exquisite stone carvings, while the "Crystal" new wing, completed in 2007 and designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, consists of several tilted and interlocking metal-glass crystals wedged directly into the old structure. This clash of old and new styles has made it a city landmark in Toronto, with the crystal facade and front steps being popular photo spots. Floor distribution: For Chinese visitors, the Asian art section on the first floor deserves ample time: the entrance to the China gallery displays an entire relocated tomb complex of Ming dynasty general Zu Dashou from Beijing, complete with stone statues, tomb gates, and burial mounds—a rare sight in overseas museums. The Bishop White Chinese temple art hall features the massive Yuan dynasty mural "The paradise of Maitreya" alongside Buddhist statues and porcelain from various dynasties, presenting a comprehensive thread of Chinese art. The adjacent Japanese and Korean galleries are worth a quick visit. On the second floor, the dinosaur hall showcases the nearly 24 m-long skeleton of "Gordo" the Barosaurus spanning the room—one of the museum's highlights—while nearby mammal and bird specimen exhibits, the biodiversity gallery, and bat cave are popular with children. The third floor's ancient Egypt exhibit displays sarcophagi and mummies, while the Greek, Roman, and European galleries gather sculptures, glassware, and other artworks. The top floor hosts rotating special exhibitions—check the current schedule before visiting. The museum also features mineral and gemstone displays, meteorite exhibits, hands-on exploration areas for children, and theaters.Canada · Toronto
Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park

4.6/5
659 reviews
Capilano Suspension BridgeLocated in North Vancouver, the 137-meter-long suspension bridge is suspended 70 meters in the air. It is one of the highest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world. More than 100 years ago, it was built by local aborigines using hemp ropes and thick wooden planks. Under the bridge is the fast-flowing Capilano River. When the wind blows through the valley, the suspension bridge sways and makes a sound that sounds like a person's laughter, so it is also called the "Laughing Bridge." 1. Natural scenery The suspension bridge spans the Capilano River and a large area of dense forest. Walking on the suspension bridge, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of the forest, but also have a panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the nearby river valley. You are completely surrounded by nature. If you are lucky, you can also see the gorgeous rainbow caused by the river water vapor. 2. Adventure Experience Cliff Walk: A glass walkway is built between vertical cliffs. There is a deep abyss under your feet, and looking out at the distant scenery from above becomes a thrilling experience. Treetop Adventure: A road is connected by iron ropes and wooden planks halfway up a giant tree, dozens of meters above the ground. You can feel the breath of nature in the forest. 3. History and Culture Near the suspension bridge stands a totem pole representing the culture of Canada's "First Nations" Aboriginal Indians, which is worth stopping to take a look. In the carved wooden house near the store, you can also see Indian carvers demonstrating their carving skills.Canada · North Vancouver

Casa Loma Castle was built in 1911 as the private mansion of the famous financier Sir Henry Pellatt. This medieval-style castle cost $3.5 million and took 3 years to build. It consists of ornately decorated suites, 800-foot tunnels, ancient Towers, stables and 5 acres of gardens. Floor distribution: The first floor of the castle is the hall, the second floor is the bedroom and suite, the third floor is the Queen's Rifle Museum, in addition to the underground wine cellar, outdoor garden and high tower. The hall ceiling on the first floor is beautiful plaster and intricately carved, inspired by Elizabethan palaces. The garden greenhouse is a more beautiful place, the floor is Italian marble, and the magnificent stained glass dome is very beautiful. The bookcases in the library hall are high to the ceiling, and the decoration of the banquet hall is also very gorgeous. The second floor is dominated by living rooms, suites and guest rooms. Among them, the Chinese-style suites are furnished with many Chinese lacquered wood furniture and porcelain, and the walls are also decorated with Chinese patterns. On the ceiling of the master bedroom, the delicate blueberry carving is crumbling and very realistic, and the tiger skin rug shows the identity and status of the owner. On the third floor, various guns, weapons and materials are currently on display. The cellar in the basement is now a replica, the corridors are lined with movie posters filmed here, and the audio guide and souvenir shop are also located on this floor. An underground tunnel leads to the stables, garage and greenhouse. Along the narrow spiral staircase, you can climb to the upper floors of the ancient tower, and you can enjoy the city view of Toronto through the small window. Standing here, you can still hear the howling wind.Canada · Toronto

Art Gallery of Ontario

8.7
4.6/5
153 reviews
The Art Gallery of Ontario is located in downtown Toronto. Founded in 1900 by a group of private art enthusiasts, it houses over 100,000 works spanning from the 1st century AD to contemporary times, making it one of the large-scale art museums in North America. The gallery building itself is architecturally striking, and visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Toronto from the top floor. The art gallery reopened in 2008 after renovation and expansion led by Toronto-born architect Frank Gehry: the street-facing facade is wrapped in a glass and wooden corridor, resembling a glass ship drifting into the city, with lights shining through the curtain wall at night, making it particularly striking; the wooden spiral staircase in the atrium and the cantilevered titanium spiral staircase outside the tower were also designed by Gehry. At the street corner near the main entrance stands the bronze sculpture "Couch monster" by Canadian Indigenous artist Brian Jungen, while British sculptor Henry Moore's renowned bronze work "Large two forms" was relocated to the lawn of Grange Park on the south side of the art gallery. Floor distribution: The art museum has five floors. Upon entering the lobby, you can see the spiral staircase, a design that fully showcases Frank Gehry's talent. The collection is centered on two main themes: European art and Canadian art. The first-floor galleries display European paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century, featuring works by artists such as Rembrandt, Hals, and Monet. The masterpiece "Massacre of the Innocents" by Rubens, donated by collector Ken Thomson, is considered the museum's signature piece. The Gothic boxwood miniatures he left behind depict intricate scenes within a tiny space, and the lower level also displays over a hundred of his ship models, ranging from merchant ships and warships of the age of sail to modern vessels, spanning several centuries with exquisite craftsmanship, making them worth slowing down to admire. The second floor showcases Canadian art in a concentrated display, featuring Tom Thomson's masterpiece "The West Wind," the Group of Seven's landscape paintings, and Inuit sculptures and prints, offering a comprehensive view of Canada's visual art heritage. Hundreds of works donated by Moore during his lifetime are housed here, with the dedicated Henry Moore Sculpture Centre providing a serene space to appreciate his forms. The upper levels of the south tower focus on modern and contemporary art, including works by Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, and Yayoi Kusama's "Infinity Mirror Room."Canada · Toronto

CN Tower stands on the shores of Lake Ontario in downtown Toronto. Its slender, towering structure makes it an iconic landmark on the Toronto skyline. Ride the glass-fronted elevator to reach the main observation level in less than 1 minute. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Toronto cityscape and Lake Ontario. The main observation level also features a transparent glass floor. Stepping onto it allows you to look down at the ground below, an experience many visitors come specifically to try. A higher observation level is located at 447m, offering an even wider view. On clear days, you can even see in the direction of Niagara Falls. Thrill-seekers can participate in the EdgeWalk, an outdoor walking experience around the exterior of the tower at 116 stories high. The tower also features amenities such as the 360 Restaurant, the Maple Leaf Cinema, and a souvenir shop. After dark, the tower's exterior LED lighting system illuminates and changes colors, making the tower a striking feature of the Toronto night skyline.Canada · Toronto

4.9/5

Banff National Park is Canada's first and the world's third national park, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, ranking only behind Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. and Australia's Royal National Park. As the saying goes, "One Banff equals twenty Switzerlands," which speaks volumes about its breathtaking beauty. Located in a small town west of Calgary, Alberta, the park nestles at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, enveloped and intersected by their towering peaks. It is a masterpiece of nature, floating among blue skies, majestic mountains, lush greenery, and winding rivers, earning its reputation as the soul of the Rockies. The national park encompasses two charming towns: Banff and Lake Louise. With its valleys, towering peaks, glacial rivers, and forested meadows, it is a world-renowned travel destination. Vast glaciers stretch across the mountain ranges, while emerald lakes glisten like jewels amidst the dark green coniferous forests. Must-see attractions within Banff National Park include the town of Banff, Lake Louise, the Bow Valley Parkway, the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, the Icefields Parkway, and the Columbia Icefield. Additionally, the park is home to five iconic Rocky Mountain wildlife species, such as bighorn sheep, elk, moose, wolves, and grizzly bears. Visitors to Banff National Park can enjoy a wide array of outdoor adventures, including alpine skiing, ice skating, dog sledding, mountain golfing, hiking, fishing, boating, and cave exploration, as well as indoor entertainment like soaking in natural hot springs, shopping, savoring local cuisine, and museum cultural tours. The park also offers a diverse range of well-equipped accommodations, from the historic and elegant Fairmont Banff Springs to budget-friendly chain hotels, cozy family-run lodges, and rustic mountain cabins beloved by hikers. No matter where you stay, the view outside your window will be equally stunning. Falling asleep under the embrace of the mighty Rockies and waking up to crystal-clear mornings and crisp mountain air makes for an unforgettable travel experience. A must-try culinary delight in Banff is the renowned Alberta beef, prized for its tenderness, rich flavor, and natural purity. Other local delicacies include artisanal cheeses, fresh fish, and wild game like elk.

FlyOver Canada

FlyOver Canada is an immersive flight simulator located at Canada Place in downtown Vancouver, taking you on a "suspended flight" to see the landscapes of Canada from beginning to end. After settling into a motion seat that dives and climbs with the screen, your feet dangle in the air while a giant spherical screen with a diameter of about 20 m appears before you. Accompanied by wind blowing in your face, fine water mist, and scents from the scenes, you even feel a chill during the winter shots, making you feel as if you have truly been lifted into the high sky. The current featured film, "Awaken Canada," spans the entire country: starting from the Arctic ice fields, diving into deep ice caves, brushing past narwhals in the water, and then sweeping over old-fashioned sailing boats off the coast of Nova Scotia, the peaks of the Yukon, the sand dunes of Saskatchewan, as well as skiers leaping on the snowy slopes of Quebec's old city and frozen waterfalls in the Rockies. In addition to this signature film, there are other flight films themed around the Rocky Mountains that you can choose to add based on your interests.Canada · Vancouver

Canada Place is a landmark building in Vancouver, located in Downtown Vancouver, originally the pier of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Construction began in 1983, and in 1986 it opened as the Canada Pavilion for Expo 86. The building was designed by Eberhard Zeidler, and its distinctive topside feature is five sets of white fiberglass sails that resemble a sailing ship, similar in design to the Sydney Opera House, making it very striking. Its interior is a mixed-use complex, and it is also the main cruise terminal for the south coast of British Columbia, with cruises to Alaska departing from here. In addition, as a tourism hub that combines leisure, experiences, and services, it contains many must-visit attractions. The plaza's "FlyOver Canada" is Canada's only 4D simulated flight attraction, allowing visitors to have an immersive experience of traveling across Canada.Canada · Vancouver

The Royal Ontario Museum's glass spire, like a crystal drill bit stuck into an old building, was rather jarring. Inside, in the Egyptian gallery, a mummy lay sprawled, its shroud torn in several places, the accompanying sign barely legible. Dinosaur skeletons reached the ceiling, and children craned their necks, babbling excitedly. In the Chinese gallery, several Buddha statues were missing arms and legs, their colors faded, which ironically added to their charm compared to those in good condition. When my legs were aching from walking around, I discovered a mineral display case in a corner; the various stones glittered under the lights, and I squatted there for a while, gazing at them. When I came out, the sun was blinding, and the steps were filled with people eating sandwiches.

The bridge was very scary because the each side doesn’t balance . My youngest child was a little overwhelmed,when we were trying to walk the bridge was shaking a lot. Therefore it is worth it for an experience for my kids.🤗😅😃😁

It's cheaper than buying tickets on-site. After purchasing tickets online, you'll receive an email with a confirmation slip, which you can print out or show to the staff at the ticket office on your phone. The boat ride isn't crowded, and they provide raincoats. It offers a close-up experience of the falls and is highly recommended!

If you go there in March, you must rent a Chinese guide on the underground floor for 5 yuan to fully understand this luxurious castle. There are number signs everywhere in the castle. Click on the numbers on the guide to listen to the explanation. Climb the stairs to the top of the two towers to see the surrounding scenery. Be sure to walk through the corridor to see the four classic cars in the garage.

Online ticketing is convenient; staff simply scan the code for entry, saving you the hassle of foreign currency cash and credit card fees. The museum is fantastic; one day isn't enough to see everything. I caught the Monet exhibition and saw over a dozen original works, as well as Rembrandt pieces, various European sculptures, and exquisite handicrafts.

Banff National Park is a breathtaking destination where turquoise lakes, towering mountains, peaceful forests, and dramatic landscapes create an unforgettable experience. The scenery feels almost unreal, especially around the crystal-clear lakes surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Scenic roads, hiking trails, waterfalls, and quiet viewpoints offer countless opportunities to enjoy nature and capture beautiful photographs. In autumn, golden larch trees and colorful foliage add an extra layer of magic to the landscape. Whether you love hiking, photography, wildlife, or simply peaceful mountain views, Banff has something special to offer. It’s truly a dream destination for anyone who wants to experience Canada’s spectacular natural beauty.
