Find out why the west is winning.
|
Take a bite out of Bloor West Village, a carnival of tastes, sights and sounds – many of them from eastern Europe. Browse through delicatessens brimming with sausage, pierogy, paska, borscht and other mouth-watering goodies. After you’ve eaten your fill, take a hike over to High Park, almost 400 acres of wilderness. Wander down the Spring Creek or West Ravine nature trails, admiring the rare oak savannahs towering overhead, remnants of the sand prairie system that once covered Ontario eons ago.
A little further east lays the Humber River Valley, discovered by French explorer Etienne Brule in 1615 and used by the first European settlers. The graceful Humber Bridge links the Waterfront Trail to the Martin Goodman Trail to the east, and the Tommy Thompson Trail north along the Humber, all perfect for rollerblading, bicycling or just walking.
Pick up the pace by heading north to Toronto’s Aerospace Museum, and marvel at fabric and wire biplanes of the 1920s, to the sleek supersonic lines of the Avro Arrow, Canada’s first fighter plane. Hankering for more history? Travel back in time at Black Creek Pioneer Village, where 40 original heritage homes and shops recapture the 1850s. Banter with a blacksmith in period costume, learn how to spin wool or build a log cabin. Cool everyone off at Wild Water Kingdom, with 100 acres of splash-happy fun.
Need to let off some steam? Head over to RINX, 100,000 square feet of adrenaline-pumping fun. Try Glo-in-the-dark Cosmic Golf, or the frenzied fun of Whirly Ball … who’d have thought to combine basketball and bumper cars?! Finally, it’s back to reality, or at least the important kind – shopping. Dr. Flea’s Flea Market at Hwy. 27 and Albion Road has over 400 vendors selling everything from sports cards to antiques and electronics. Naturally, at generous discounts. See what you can negotiate. Isn’t that how the west was won? |
