Ontario Place
A 40-hectare fun park, Ontario Place is built on three artificial islands. A ‘Play All Day’ pass gets you into most of the thrill rides and attractions, including Soak City water park, and walk-up seating at the Cinesphere, a spiky, space-age gooseberry screening IMAX films. Kids go berserk at soft-play areas like the H2O Generation Station and the Atom Blaster. Additional attractions like the human-sized MegaMaze and House of Blues concerts at the Molson Amphitheatre cost extra. Discounted passes may be available after 5pm and for grounds-only admission. On rainy days, many of the rides, activities and restaurants close.

SSteam Whistle Brewing
‘Do one thing and do it well,’ is the motto of Steam Whistle Brewing, a microbrewery that makes only a crisp European-style pilsner. Bubbling away in a 1929 train depot, Steam Whistle continually works on being environmentally friendly, in part by using renewable energy, steam heating, all-natural (and often local) ingredients, and using super-cool ginger ale bottles that can be reused up to 40 times. During snappy tours of the premises, guides explain the brewing process in great detail. Tours depart half-hourly from 1 to 5pm and include tastings.

High Park
Toronto’s biggest park is the delightfully unkempt High Park – unfurl a picnic blanket, swim, play tennis, cycle around, ice-skate or just sit amongst great stands of oaks and watch the sunset. Also here is the stage for Dream in High Park, Grenadier Pond where people ice-skate in winter, the animal paddocks (a small children’s zoo) and Colborne Lodge, a Regency-style cottage built in 1836 by the Howard family, who donated much of High Park to the city in 1873.

Salon Jie
When we asked these guys which subway station their customers use, they looked shocked and said, 'No one who comes here ever takes the subway!'. This is no ordinary hair salon. Don't be surprised if some limo-riding fashion model, A-list celeb or real-life princess is being coiffed by master stylist Jie Matar in the next chair.

House of Lords
The receptionist here doubles as a DJ, interrupting raging house to announce, 'I need a color and cut in five minutes - who's up?' to the multitudinous staff. They've treated the tresses of David Bowie and Alice Cooper over the years, and it retains a punkish attitude. Walk-ins are accepted; basic guys/gals cuts from $14/20.
