Default Visiting Niagara Falls/Toronto from Colorado

Being from Colorado, I'm a regular in the RockyMountain section, but I'm currently visiting in Niagara Falls and Toronto, so I'd figure I'd drop by the Canada section on AW!

I can't believe how many Bimmers I've seen in the Toronto area and not too many Audis. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for an S4, but haven't seen any, yet.

So far, the GF and I have visited Niagara Falls for a few days and we are now in Toronto. We were going to go to the CN tower but it was too overcast today so we're going to try again tomorrow. What else is a "must" in terms of visiting in Toronto?

Thanks for your help! This is my first time visiting Canada and I love it!

There aren't that many S4's in Canada. Come to the GTG on Thursday (see posts below).

Default CN Tower would be idea today with the weather today

Other places to stroll around in Toronto...

Eaton Centre/Yonge-Dundas Square (they have those funky ***** there for <a href="http://toronto.com/attractions/event/509073?action=homepage_player_spot_1_611769">Lumin ato</a> which is going on right now but I think the whole event sorta sucks compared to last year, unless you're really into the arts)
<a href="http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/">Harbourfront</a>
<a href="http://www.torontotourism.com/Visitor/WhatToSeeAndDo/Neighbourhoods/Chinatown.htm">Chinatown</a> and might as well take a walk through <a href="http://www.torontotourism.com/Visitor/WhatToSeeAndDo/Neighbourhoods/KensingtonMarket.htm">Kensington Market</a> which is just next door
<a href="http://www.rom.on.ca/">Royal Ontario Museum</a> has Darwin The Evolution going on still I think.

Shopping? Yorkdale Mall up by the 401/Yorkdale.

Yeah if you're still around on Thursday and have nothing to do tomorrow night, there's a bunch of us getting together around 8:30pm <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=home+depot&near=Richmond+Hill,+ON,+Canada&fb=1 &cid=1910757712535573312&li=lmd&z=14&t=m">here</a>.

Being a Colorado guy, go see the Hockey Hall of Fame. It's well done.

Default Eaton's Centre for shopping - then across the street north end - Dundas Square...

Trying to emulate Time Square - interesting crowd if you like watching people! (Yonge St. and Dundas St.)

Default He decided on CN, Eaton Centre and the ROM

Posted on AZ, he's off tomorrow.

Good choices for things to do in a single day. Yeah, Yonge-Dundas is trying too emulate Times Square, bleh.

Default If you're not interested in the plasticy touristy crap

Take a walk through the Niagara Glen (just past the Whirlpool on the lower river). It has some of the oldest exposed rock on the planet, and some interesting rock formations and plant life. Although not technically leagal, we used to have Sunday afternoon BBQs at Foster's Flats in the winter.<ul><li><a href="http://www.iaw.com/~falls/site.html">the Glen</a></li></ul>
