This large stadium is home to the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team, and also hosts large concerts. It has a retractable roof, allowing games to be played in all weather. To access the stadium from Union Station follow the Skywalk from the western waiting room.
Rogers Centre is a retractable roof stadium in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, situated at the base of the CN Tower near the northern shore of Lake Ontario. Opened in 1989 on the former Railway Lands, it is home to the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB). As well as being improved over the decades, during the MLB offseasons of 2022–24, the stadium was renovated by upgrading the sports facilities and hospitality whilst reducing the capacity for baseball games. While it is primarily a sports venue, the stadium also hosts other large events such as conventions, trade fairs, concerts, travelling carnivals, circuses and monster truck shows.

Tours of the Rogers Centre are sometimes available, but as of September 2024, these tours are still suspended until further notice. Consult the website for details.
The CN Tower is Toronto's most recognizable and famous feature, and was the world's tallest free-standing structure until the Burj Khalifa surpassed it in September 2007. It is still the tallest free-standing structure in the Americas. At a dizzying 553 m high, a visit is worth it for the view of the city alone. A glass elevator will take you up to where you can look out from behind glass windows or from an outside observing area through a metal screen. It attracts large numbers of tourists; best times are weekdays in the morning. You can jump up and down on the thick glass floor in parts of the observatory (the view from the floor downward essentially shows the base of the tower). 360, the revolving restaurant, is in the main deck, but isn't particularly renowned. Restaurant diners with reservations can avoid the queues for the observatory, and at night the lights from distant Rochester, New York are visible over the lake.
This public park offers has a number of preserved exhibits: roundhouse and turntable, coaling tower, water tower, signal tower, small railway station and several railway cars and locomotives including a 4-8-4 Northern-type steam locomotive.
The museum, in the roundhouse building, has railway exhibits, cars under restoration, and a gift shop. When the miniature steam trains are running in the park, you can purchase separate tickets to ride them from the old Don Station building.
Home to 13,500 species of sea creatures from habitats around the world. Café, souvenir shop.
