If you read my previous post you'll know I'm trying to visit the Six Flags owned amusement parks in Canada. Canada Wonderland is about forty minutes drive north of Toronto in Vaughan, Ontario. So I picked up this book to visit some other places nearby while I was in town and to check out local foods.
The first chapter, Discover Toronto and Ontario, offers several quick highlights - Top 10 Experiences, The Best of Ontario, Food and Wine Getaways, Toronto Art and Culture, Georgian Bay Road Trip, Top Recreation, Romance at the Niagra Falls, Northern Exposure, and the Underground Railroad.
The next seven chapters focus on specific areas complete with colorful maps, restaurant and accommodation suggestions, sports and recreation, shopping, entertainment and events, and sights. Chapters include Toronto, The Niagara Region, Lake Erie to Lake Huron, Eastern Ontario, Ottawa, Cottage Country/Algonquin/and the Northeast, Georgian Bay, and Lake Superior.
The tenth chapter features the Background of Ontario - the landscape, the plants and animals, the history, the government and economy, the people and culture, and the arts.
The Essentials chapter offers the important information - transporation, visas, recreation, accommodations, food and drink, travel tips, health and safety, and information.
One of the last chapters in the book, the Resources chapter, contains interesting books and internet sites if you want to deeper dive into Ontario.
There are several really great sidebars throughout the book. If you plan to visit Niagara Falls, check out the suggested two-day itinerary (or if you only have one day, just focus on day one). Sprinkled throughout the book are some interesting sites related to the First Nations including the Six Nations Museum and the Petrogylphs Provincial Park. If you like chocolate as much as me, check out the Stratford Chocolate Trail where you can sample six special treats.
