Union Station is the largest and most opulent railway station in Canada and a landmark in Toronto. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style and finished in 1921, this Heritage Railway Station is a National Historic Site of Canada. The main internal feature of the station is the Great Hall which is 250 ft long and 88 ft high at its highest point. Materials such as bronze, limestone, marble, tiles, and translucent glass create a sense of enduring quality. On the west side of the station, the SkyWalk, an approximately 500-metre enclosed walkway to the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre, gives railfans a view of the complex tracks serving the station.
Union Station is a major railway station and intermodal transportation hub in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The station is located in downtown Toronto, on Front Street West, on the south side of the block bounded by Bay Street and York Street. The municipal government of Toronto owns the station building while the provincial transit agency Metrolinx owns the train shed and trackage. It is operated by the Toronto Terminals Railway, a joint venture of the Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway, which directs and controls train movement along the Union Station Rail Corridor, the largest and busiest rail corridor in Canada. Constructed in 1927, Union Station has been a National Historic Site of Canada since 1975, and a Heritage Railway Station since 1989.

formerly Air Canada Centre
This hockey arena plays host to all Toronto Maple Leafs home games as well as Toronto Raptors basketball games. It also hosts many of Toronto's large concerts. The arena is directly adjacent to Union Station and there is a passage leading from the underground concourse into the arena, however the passage can be confusing. The facility was renamed from Air Canada Centre to Scotiabank Arena effective July 1, 2018 due to a change in sponsorship.
