Doncaster

Doncaster is a great place to base yourself in Toronto as many of the city’s main attractions are nearby. Two attractions that should top every visitor’s list is the fascinating St. George's Anglican Church and the ever-popular City Playhouse Theatre. Two other worthy points of interest that are within a short distance of Doncaster are the Gibson House Museum and Gibson Park.

Toronto is celebrated throughout the world as home to the legendary CN Tower. It is just less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from the middle of town.

Stop by some of the nearby museums and galleries, which help make this region such a great vacation choice. To catch home-grown and touring acts, spend an evening at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, one of the area’s great performing arts venues.

Visitors looking for interesting places to visit in and around Toronto will not want to miss out on the Mel Lastman Square. Those with a passion for religious history should visit the Church of the Annunciation.

To shop for local fashion or enjoy a light meal, set out to visit the Bayview Village Shopping Centre.

When the snow falls in Doncaster, grab your wooly hat and skis and hit the runs at ski centers such as the Earl Bales Ski and Snowboard Centre.

See local sporting heroes, the North York Rangers, do battle in the nearby Carnegie Centennial Centre. On game days follow the river of blue, red and white, to the stadium, then after the final whistle blows, join fans in the nearby pubs for a post-game drink.

After a day taking in the sights around Doncaster, get a good nights sleep in one of the area’s popular hotels or serviced apartments. The Park Inn By Radisson Toronto - Markham, the Novotel Toronto North York and the Hilton Garden Inn Toronto/Markham are just some of the many great places to stay around here.
