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!

<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.

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.)

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.

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>
