City: Bay Street Corridor
Top Things to do in Bay Street Corridor
The 9 Best Museums in Bay Street Corridor, 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.

Had a brief, but edifying experience at this wonderful museum because of its unusual and focused exhibits, not found elsewhere. There is porcelain, ceramics and clay from ancient to modern times from many parts of the world, including, Europe, Asia and South American. In addition the special exhibit focal point was dining in earlier century with a replication of a table setting. Their collection best typifies how form and function works perfectly through the shapes, designs, facade and their usefulness in every day life. My short visit provided me with a overview of what this fine Museum has to offer, so I will return soon to be part of a guided tour to further enrich my appreciation and understanding. The staff are personable and professional and the tariff is quite reasonable for all the Gardiner Museum provides to the discerning visitor. Also, don’t forget to patronize their fine quality restaurant- Clay! Very Highly Recommended!

As my husband was previously a policeman with the London Met, we were very lucky to be able to arrange a private tour of the Toronto Police Museum with Norina D'Agostini and nothing was too much trouble for her. We had so many interesting stories to exchange and notes to compare about policing in the UK and in Canada.

Just north of front between Bay and Yonge Street - a short block from Union Station. Nicest lobby/galleria of all Toronto Towers (Scotia Plaza a close second). Home to Marche, the Hocket Hall of Fame and Hocket themed Tim Horton's and my favorite newspaper stand on the Yonge Street Side. Please dont miss it and please let me know, if you liked it!!
