If the weather is fine, you might like to go to Toronto Islands by ferry (foot of Yonge Street near the Harbour Castle Hotel). Great views of the city, have a stroll in the gardens, try the clothing-optional city-approved beach (Hanlan's Point), rent a bike or have a picnic. http://www.toronto.ca/parks/island/index.htm

The Toronto Zoo (not downtown) is one of the biggest in North America and is quite large. I love to go underground to see the polar bear from the an underwater vantage point. http://www.torontozoo.com/

There are several interesting buildings in development right now. Frank Gehry is redeveloping the Art Gallery of Ontario. http://www.ago.net/navigation/flash/frameset.cfm

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is being renovated and extended by Daniel Libeskind. The Michael Lee-Chin Crystal will open in Fall 2006 so maybe next time! http://www.rom.on.ca/index.php Choose Renaissance ROM.

If you do go to the AGO, deak down McCaul Street to see the Sharp Pavillion of the Ontario College of Art. Such a neat building! It's a building on sticks. http://www.uer.ca/locations/show.asp?locid=20146
