    Parking is a bit difficult. But the museum is truly excellent, a must-see in Toronto. The Chinese exhibition on the first floor will definitely leave you with a lasting impression. I won't post too many photos; come and experience it for yourself.

    Hours to spend: 3-4 hoursLOVE THEIR UNDERWATER TUNNEL! Recommend to plan this visit after your visit at CN tower or Cruise.

    A great park for a walk. Be sure to visit the botanical gardens. We also caught the end of the tulip gardens which were also beautiful. It was not a problem to find a place to park on a Monday afternoon. The patches on the trees and bushes were also interesting!
