When you are ready to get away and enjoy a truly memorable vacation, Ontario, Canada is the perfect choice!
The province of Ontario is in the east central part of Canada and shares its southern border with the central and eastern United States. Home to some of the most beautiful woodlands and lakes, it is an ideal locale for lovers of the outdoors. Summers in southern Ontario are typically warm and humid while the winters are cold, providing ample snow for winter sport enthusiasts. In the extreme northern portions of the province, it is more of an arctic climate but is typically blessed by a mild summer season.
The largest city in Ontario is Toronto, the capital of the province. Toronto is a vibrant and sophisticated city with many popular attractions including Casa Loma, which is an authentic castle built in 1911 by Sir Henry Pellatt, a successful Toronto businessman. Unfortunately, Sir Henry lost his wealth during World War I and was forced to sell Casa Loma. Eventually in 1933 the property was claimed for unpaid taxes and was nearly demolished until the Kiwanis Club proposed turning it into a tourist attraction. Casa Loma and the surrounding gardens are magnificent and a must see when visiting Toronto.
Another Toronto favorite is the CN Tower, the tallest tower in the world. Enjoy spectacular views of the city from the observation deck at the top of the tower. When the weather is clear you can see all the way to Niagara Falls, which is one of the most spectacular natural attractions in the world.
The magnificent Horseshoe Falls and other attractions on the Niagara Corridor draw millions of visitors each year. Take a ride to the edge of the falls on the Maid of the Mist or spend a day cycling along the picturesque Niagara River Recreational Trail that runs along the Niagara River from Fort Erie to Fort George.
If your travels take you to Erieau Chatham, a day of pampering awaits you at the Eau La La Spa! Spend a day being treated like royalty from the moment you enter the beautifully appointed surroundings and enjoy a luxurious day of relaxation.
If you’ve ever dreamed of going on safari, then head to Flamborough, Ontario and experience the African Lion Safari! A wonderful time will be had by all as you drive through wide open spaces and see lions, tigers, rhinos, giraffes and many other species of animals roaming free in their natural habitat.
