There Are Many Arcades And Attractions In Toronto

By Adriana Noton


If you ask someone outside of the country what they think about Canada, you'll most likely be met with vague sentences about cold weather, Celine Dion, and overly nice people. What the recent Winter Olympics began hinting at, however, is how Canada is a dynamic and beautiful nation full of dazzling cities and a people who embrace all cultures and have their eyes on the future. Considered the financial capital, Toronto is the largest city in the nation and located within the province of Ontario. Visiting or living here mean you have access to all manner of arcades and attractions in Toronto.

Committed to embracing the future, Toronto has been one of the first large cities to integrate technology throughout all of its neighborhoods. This embrace of technology extends to arcades as residents love to try out the newest and oldest games available.

There are dozens of arcades within the city limits and they vary enough that you can choose exactly what kind of environment you want, whether it is the newest games on the market or some old school nostalgia. In fact, pin ball machines, foosball, air hockey, and other more tactile games have become more popular than ever.

Finding the right venue for your family involves utilizing Toronto's wi-fi network. There are a variety of sites that keep you up to date concerning businesses, restaurants, and seasonal events. Also, you can download apps right into your smart phone that will alert you to what is happening.

It isn't all just fun and games, however, in Toronto. This city is thriving and similar in feel to New York in that you see the influence of various cultures and ethnicities everywhere you go.

Another world renowned food destination can be found at St. Lawrence Market. Every single Saturday this sprawling building is home to a farmer's market that has been going strong for 200 years and includes over 50 gourmet food vendors. Not content to just offer food, the market also hosts an antique fair every Sunday.

Attractions are numbered in, conceivably, the hundreds. There is always something to do here in town. Like with many highly populated areas, shopping is at a premium and tourists flock to the Eaton Centre every day.

In terms of shopping, many people also flock to the Eaton Centre. A multi-storied mall modeled after the Galleria in Milan, Italy, you'll be able to find every luxury brand in the world. There are also a number of other retailers as well, including some solely Canadian designers.

Downtown abuts the waterfront which is one of the most impressive recreational waterfronts in all of North America. Besides being near all manner of shops, restaurants, museums, and science centers, this area has been a backdrop to all manner of festivals. One of the most famous is TIFF, also known as the Toronto International Film Festival, which has even premiered films that have gone on to win Oscars. There is always something to see and do when you're in this dazzling city.
