I am not a fan of big cities......having said that, I do love Toronto, population 6,372,000 people AND Spiderman as shown above. We went to my son's for a visit and to celebrate his birthday. I won't say how old he is because I cannot possibly be old enough to have a son that old haha. Okay, he turned 39 but I'm only 43 so figure that out..........(joking.... I am not 43)
We drove there Saturday morning, about a two hour drive and picked them up and went to the Science Centre. We hadn't been there since my son was in his early teen's. We usually go to the ROM, (Royal Ontario Museum) because we all love that museum and it's not far from his house via transit but we thought we would change things up this trip. We will not be going back to the Science Centre for the forseeable future........kids kids and more kids. which we knew but seeing it is different than thinking it lol
There are a lot of hands on type activities in this place and it really is geared to kids, for the most part, but still some interesting stuff.
We did watch a very interesting IMAX movie called Dinosaurs of Antarctica which we all enjoyed. We were there a couple of hours and then back to their place to change for dinner.
We had decided on the Keg Mansion for dinner so off the four of us went. The Keg Steakhouses are Canadian but are located in the USA as well. This particular Keg is pretty unique, set in an old mansion originally built in 1867 for Arthur McMaster, nephew of Canadian senator and banker, William McMaster. In 1915, the building was bequeathed to Victoria College, a federated college of the University of Toronto. In 1976, The Keg repurposed the building to serve as a restaurant. The food and service is probably some of the best I have experienced and you can't beat the location.
We did drive past the ROM, a place I love, next trip we'll get there again.
We had a great time with my son and daughter-in-law as we always do and can't wait to see them again.
We always enjoy our time in Toronto, there is always so much to do and it's a beautiful city. If you haven't been to Toronto and you get the opportunity to go, please do!
