Advice for Visitors

Tips

Best Time to Visit

Peak periods are often in the early to mid-afternoon hours. Advance reservations are required to secure your tour time.

Arrive at least 20 minutes prior to departure time. Please consider the high traffic volume in downtown Toronto when planning your travel time, and allow time for parking.

Advance reservations are required. Consider booking early if you can because boat tours often sell out, especially on weekends and holidays.

Remember to dress appropriately for the season.

Snack food and drinks, including a fully licensed bar, are offered aboard the Oriole vessel. CDN or US cash is accepted, as well as all major debit and credit cards. Please note: Outside food and beverages are not permitted on board.

Cruises have plenty of comfortable indoor space and are a great way to see the sights of Toronto from the water during cooler weather.

Toronto CityPASS
Great Toronto attractions
Something for everyone: arts, sciences, history, entertainment, and for every age group. You can be confident in seeing something unique, worthwhile, and proper to the city itself.
Must have
CityPASS is just something you need when you come for the first time to the city. Admissions are must see, and if you save money even better.
Fabulous!
I found a CityPASS for Toronto and bought it. After that the whole trip fell into our laps! There is so much to do in Toronto that we were in over our heads before this! The CityPASS has so much to offer for every kind of person!
Great deal! A must try for all
Great price for amazing attractions. Have used it every time friends and family visit from outside the country. Love it!
Worth it for those travelling on a budget
I don't usually buy passes like this because usually you're paying for things you don't really want to do. And as a backpacker every dollar counts! However, I had planned on visiting the Toronto Zoo, the CN Tower and The Royal Ontario Museum and those three alone would have been worth more than the cost of the CityPASS.
Toronto CityPASS is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 11426.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great choice, good value for money! I bought the Toronto CityPASS for a group of 7. Good value for money, easy to use. especially on the app and no issues with using them in Toronto. A few things need advance reservations, but again that was easy to do in the app. Really pleased I bought them as the choice on the Toronto pass gives you a good variety of activity and they gave me a structure for my 3 night stay in Toronto
