Ontario has many tourist attractions going on at any time of the year. To me there are a few outstanding ones. Those are the attractions you want to come back to every time and show them to your friends from back home. If you have visited those, you have experienced some of the diversity of Ontario.
1 Doors Open Ontario From April to October, residents and visitors are invited to discover first-hand Ontario's hidden heritage treasures. It is a celebration of our cu578ltural and architectural heritage. Some of the attractions have never been open to the public. It might be a chocolate factory in Toronto, a horse breeding farm in Oxford County, a mosque or a cemetary. Whatever attraction you visit, you will get a guided tour and it is all free
2 St Jacob Farmers Market All year long on Saturdays. This is an attraction favored by many Europeans. The smell, the sites and the activity is unique. You can buy anything and hassle over the price. You'll see the Mennonites and Amish people with their horse and buggy, offering their fruits and vegetables. You can go inside the buildings and search through the unbelievable amount of stuff for sale, from Elvis pictures and brass statues to handmade wooden furniture. Groceries, antiques, sausages, livestock auctions, puppies, it truly is a unique experience.
3 Toronto Kensington Market The Toronto Kengsinton Market in a way is the same as the St. Jacob market, yet it is completely different. If St Jacob is rural, then this is a city experience. The Market is a multicultural mix of shops, restaurants, vintage clothing shops, and eclectic cafes. An international feast for the senses, it's truly a great place to wander and get a sense of Toronto's rich cultural mosaic.
4 Wolf howling in Algonquin Park Public Wolf Howls take place on Thursday evenings in August, or i5A8n September before Labour Day when weather and accessible wolves permit. Those who have been on a successful expedition unanimously agree that there is no sound which better embodies the wilderness atmosphere in Algonquin than a spine-tingling chorus of wolves, reverberating over the hills and bogs under a cold starry night. Contact Algonquin Park on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning to find out if there will be a wolf howl on Thursday, then drive over to the Park and have the experience of a lifetime. Cars will meet along the highway at points determined by the rangers.
5 Native Indian PowWow One of the most impressive attractions when it comes to color and sound. A perfect place to bring visitors from abroad. Canada's largest and most successful Aboriginal attraction in at the end of November in Toronto. The PowWow Grand Entry is the spectacular highlight and the entire family will enjoy the visually stunning display of nearly 1000 native dancers and drum singing groups from across North America. The pageantry and drama of the Grand Entry make it one of the most beautiful traditional Aboriginal attractions and a must see for anyone interested in native culture and customs.
6 Visit Niagara Falls in Winter. Niagara Falls is a spectacular attraction at any time of the year. Most tourist visit it during the summer months. But nothing compares to the beauty of it during the winter. On a day when59B the wind is right the mist of the falls covers the area in fresh snow, the streetlights are covered with snow and ice, while the heat of the lights makes for almost sculptures of ice around the lights. If you've seen the falls during summer but never during winter, you will see them in a totally new way.
