10 Things to do in CityPlace That You Shouldn't Miss

April 10, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

We were fortunate to get a table right by the window.. the revolving restaurant has great views of the city as you are slowly moving... the coolest is to watch the flights taking off and landing into Billy Bishop airport.

My father, has a disability and needs a walker, called the dome and they set up handicap parking underneath the dome. We walked twenty feet to the elevator. Then to the 100 section seats which was another twenty feet, unbelievable, so easy, so convenient, just a great afternoon at the ball park. The Jay's and the dome make it so accessible for disabled people to enjoy the game, bravo, your the best

Steam Whistle Brewery

Located within walking distance of the CN Tower and Rogers Center, Steam Whistle Brewing occupies Bays 1-14 within the old John Street Roundhouse building, a designated National Historic Site that was previously home to the Canadian Pacific Railway steam locomotive repair facility. Thousands of visitors visit this brewery every year to attend one of the on-site events or take a tour of how the company brews its own Pilsner.

Stop. Don’t even try another craft beer while in Toronto. This is the one for you. Steam Whistle only brews one beer but it’s a hell of a beer. Crisp, flavourful and refreshing. If you’re stopping in for a cold one the incredibly pleasant and down to Earth staff will happily greet you and offer you a free sample of their beer — which was likely freshly brewed that day! The brewery itself though has evolved into something more — an experience. It’s always been a treat to visit the brewery but over the years it’s improved dramatically. The staff as so young and friendly. The beer is cheap. The brewery is usually home to art exhibits to browse during your visit, it offers informative tours (that’s usually $12 and includes a free beer or two during the tour), has a small snack bar with delicious options and has become the official pre drinking spot for Blue Jay fans and Maple Leafs fans before a game. Do yourself a favour and check out Steam Whistle Brewery. You don’t be disappointed.
