CN Tower
The CN Tower is the most well known building throughout all of Toronto. It was once the tallest free-standing building until 2007 when the Burj Khalifa was built in Dubai. The tower was built in 1973 and is 553.3 meters high. Going to the top of the tower is the most surreal experience you will encounter. It all starts with the elevators that go 22 km/h or 15 mph to the top in approximately 58 seconds. Goosebumps travel all over you body as you go higher up, seeing the buildings from a completely different perspective truly is a mind blowing experience. Once your are at the top, there are a variety of things you are able to do. The edge walk is the most adrenaline rushing attraction you will ever do. Leaning over the city of Toronto 553.3 meters in the air will be an experience that you will never forget.

Advice
Visiting Toronto, one of the most popular cities in Ontario can sometimes be stressful. When it comes to avoiding traffic or finding the best parking spot, Toronto is one of the worst places for it. When it comes to parking at during a time like CNE or Veld, it all comes to timing and patience. When finding a parking spot in Toronto, there are always locals or tourists that are always looking for a parking spot. The best thing to do in order to find the best parking spot is to come to Toronto early... like an hour or two early. This is because everyone will be scrambling everywhere looking for a parking spot, but when you come early, the parking spot will be open for you. Another thing you should try avoiding is driving around Toronto during rush hour... the experience that every Toronto local dreads. Waiting a long period of time in traffic can be extremely annoying, especially if you have limited time the city of Toronto. The best thing to do in order to avoid all of the chaos is to walk around the city or bike. There are many bike stations that are around the city where you pay for a bike and you are able to bike around the city of Toronto.
I like how you describe the smell of Toronto.
ReplyDeleteGood amount of information about the places you can go.
Try to tell a story about a time where you went to Toronto.
"the smell of popcorn" and I like how you described the sounds, "hundreds of rides screaming at once"
DeleteGood detail and information about the CN Tower and Veld
I like the pictures. It really helps you visualize Toronto. Try to space out the sections instead of having one big paragraph. Maybe mention good places for food.
ReplyDeleteI thought you gave some good attraction in Toronto like CNE, VELD, and the CN tower. The advice about missing traffic was smart as well. Try not to be repetitive,for example when you said "surreal experience you will experience".
ReplyDeleteI thought the advice that you gave about finding parking at events was extremely useful because it is a common problem that everyone in Toronto will face. It is very realistic and can apply to a wide range of people. I like the activities that you mentioned, they could very from teen to family to independent activities. i would suggest you talk about things you could also do in the winter since people may come here to experience the snow in the city.
