The 8 Best Museums in Niagara, Canada
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.

Fort York was a strategically important military installation prior to and after the American Revolution. Under British/Canadian and US control during this period. During the War of 1812 (April 1813 to be exact) US forces wrested control of the Fort from the Brits, Canadians, and First Nations and used it as a base to loot and burn the growing town (including Parliament). It was for this action that the Brits burned the US White House in August 1814. My wife and I enjoyed the exhibits and restored encampments near the heart of Toronto. Plan on spending at least two hours to view the Fort and exhibits.
