What to do and see in Port Lands, Canada: The Best Things to do

September 16, 2021 Karren Gelb

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.

BATL - The Backyard Axe Throwing League

At BATL, the Backyard Axe Throwing League, we believe throwing a killer party should be fun, simple, and full of bullseyes. Whether it’s a stag, bachelorette, team-building, birthday, or fundraising event, it deserves to be memorable. No matter what BATL location you visit across North America, you can expect delicious food and drinks, axe throwing lanes, expert coaching, and a fun tournament. Boredom sold separately.

We went to BATL for a birthday party and had a blast. Hayden and Glen were great coaches and I would highly recommend it as a fun group activity. We booked 4 lanes, brought snacks and there is a full bar there. Hayden and Glen gave us some lessons and then ran a round robin for us. I’ll definitely go back and have suggested it as a fun outing for my girlfriends.

Tommy Thompson Park

A unique place near downtown Toronto to experience nature, and one of the best places for bird-watching in the city, with more than 300 recorded species. Use the menu below to find details on visiting the park, trails, events, festival, programs, restoration, and research.

Took a cab from downtown with my binoculars (as a new recruit to birdwatching). Loved it - views amazing. Despite my infancy with regards to birdwatching - successfully identified 10 new species (having traveled from England). A special thank you to Mike - the ranger who was incredibly helpful. I hope I can come back in the summer when I suspect the place is alive with wildlife.

Polson Pier

A mix of bars, dance clubs and sports venues.

Reviewed By AbhikS11

Polson pier has a great view of the Toronto skyline and possibility of a great sunset behind the Toronto buildings. I drove from Mississauga (around 25 mins) on a weekday and it was relatively empty. There's parking just before the park/nightclub and it was relatively empty around 8 when I reached. I was there till 10:30 pm and it was pretty crowded by the time I left. So it would be advisable to reach early if you want to relish the sunset. There were few people with their camera/tripods and a separate couple photshoot was going on. Few people were just to enjoying the view and some groups were waiting for the nightclub to open. I don't see any security issue with many people around. Again, try to get in early to avoid parking issues.

With forest and lake, the dogs just love it here! Huge fenced space, perfect for long walks. Most owners here are super responsible, which also makes for a lovely time!
