Day-of Information

Flying

1. Toronto Pearson International AirportPearson is the largest airport in Toronto and is located outside of the city centre in Mississauga. Driving: It is an hour drive to downtown Toronto and Hart House. The main two ways are to take the ON-427 South to the Gardiner Expressway, or to take the ON-401 West to either the Allen Road or Avenue Road exits, depending on your hotel location. Rush hour in Toronto is from 7AM-10AM and 3PM-7PM, so expect traffic! Transit: The fastest way to get from Pearson to downtown via transit is by using the UP Express train! An adult one-way ticket from Pearson to Union Station is $12.35 (purchasable online or in person) and takes about 30 minutes. From there, you can take Line 1 University Line (west side) or Yonge Line (east side) to travel up into the rest of the city. In the subway, you can either tap your credit card on the turnstiles or use a Presto machine to purchase passes. 2. Billy Bishop Toronto City AirportBilly Bishop is the smaller of the two Toronto Airports and it is located on the Toronto Islands, just across the water from downtown Toronto. Driving: The rest of Toronto can be accessed from Billy Bishop by going north on Bathurst or Spadina, or east/west on Lakeshore Boulevard, depending on where your hotel is located. Traffic can be very heavy, so please plan for longer driving times than what map apps show. Also, you may have to take the Airport Ferry with your rental car, if the shore-side terminal is still under construction in May. Transit: The 511 Bathurst and 510 Spadina streetcars are located just a short walk from Billy Bishop Airport and can take you north into the city. You can also take the 509 Queens Quay streetcar to Union Station, from which you can take the Line 1 University side (west) or the Line 1 Yonge side (east) north into the city.

Accommodations

As Canada's largest city, Toronto has innumerable attractions. Here are some of our favorites!

The largest zoo in Canada (15x the size of the Philadelphia zoo!), the Toronto Zoo is an AZA-accredited facility with an incredibly diverse collection. Located in Scarborough, on the eastern edge of Toronto. I (Adonis) worked here for a season in the Australasia pavilion, and can give some behinds the scenes facts and info on some of the Australasian animals if you let me know before your visit!

Toronto Zoo

Canada's leading museum, home to exhibits on art, culture, and natural history. Located just minutes from the Bata Shoe Museum and the Gardiner Museum (as well as Hart House!)

Royal Ontario Museum

Toronto's aquarium, includes all the essentials (sharks, cool jellyfish, and stingray petting)

Ripley's Aquarium of Canada

Our favorite of Toronto's many parks, in Toronto's west end. It features both curated gardens and multiple ecosystem types, including rare oak savannas. In the center of the park is a mini zoo, which includes bison, llamas, highland cattle, and emus! Our first date was in High Park :)

High Park

A little museum dedicated to textile arts of all kinds. Currently hosting an exhibit celebrating their 50th anniversary! Located close to the Art Gallery of Ontario, Chinatown, Kensington Market, and Yonge-Dundas Square

Textile Museum of Canada

A museum all about shoes! Not just their designs, but also their history and what shoes can tell you about the people who wear them. Located close to the Royal Ontario Museum and the Gardiner Museum.

Bata Shoe Museum

A must-see neighborhood in downtown Toronto for foodies and vintage lovers! Our favorite spot in the neighborhood is the Arch Cafe, which serves Middle Eastern brunch and coffee.

Kensington Market

Located across the street from the Royal Ontario Museum, the Gardiner is a museum all about ceramics.

Gardiner Museum

One of our favorite restaurants! Storm Crow Manor is a bar themed after all things nerdy and geeky, with delicious food and incredible cocktails. Located in Church and Wellesley, Toronto's gayborhood.
