Going to Toronto

[x0xsaywhutx0x]

I'll be going to Toronto this Wed til Fri for the Fat Wrecked for 25 Years Tour.  NoFX, Swingin Utters, Lagwagon, Bad Cop Bad Cop, Flatliners, Strung Out, and more!  Probably a bunch of punk bands most of you have never heard, but its going to be gnarly.  But need some stuff to do when I'm not crowd surfing.  Was planning on visiting the Distillery District, St. Lawrence Market, and Queen Street, heard they all have good history and food, but any other recommendations?  Would go back to the Hockey Hall of Fame again but the Stanley cup is not there right now.

Will also be visiting Niagara Falls on the Canadian side as well on the way up.  Even though I live only 45 min away I've never bothered to check out that side, which I heard is better than the American side.

Canadian side is 100X better than the US side.  This was the view from our hotel:

Steamwhistle brewery has a decent tour of their facility. It's across the street from CN Tower. Good beer (pilsner) , free samples with the tour. It's not just about the brewery, but the site, a former train engine roundhouse , part of Heritage Canada. Of course CN tower is a nice attraction to visit.

Lots of great dining places downtown.

Ripley's Aquarium is downtown as well. Worth the visit.

If you visit Niagara Falls , if you have time , go to Marineland. Great display of aquatic animals, shows, rides if you are into that.

African Lion Safari is not too far. Drive thru animal habitats: lions, monkeys, giraffes, rhinos , etc. Also animal shows.

Wow! That looks amazing! If youre even in the area again make sure you go to lewiston, ny for the whirlpool jet boats. Takes you right into the rapids, its awesome. I think they also have it on the canadian side too but ive only gone to the one in lewiston.

i forgot about the safari! Ill prolly check that out. I looked at the brewery, looks great but i think they only have the one kind of beer. Id def go if they brewed a couple other kinds though. Im not a big fan of pilsners
