OT: March break in Toronto

[2gr8DisneyKids]

Sadly not going to make it to WDW for March Break... but are heading to Toronto for 5 nights.

Here is what we are thinking of so far, but I know many of you are local to the GTA so please let me know if I missed anything key or have something not so great on the books...

Staying at the Holiday Inn TO City Centre
2 adults and 2 kids, ages 5 and 9

CN Tower - will we be good with the SkyPod ($48) or do we need to do the Tower Experience ($95)?

Hockey Hall of Fame

LegoLand Discovery Centre

Ontario Science Centre

Fantasy Fair

Eaton Centre - is the Disney Store there back open?

We will be there during Disney on Ice, but will see it the night before the trip in Montreal!

Thanks everyone!

I think you almost have to treat it like a visit to WDW, that is go early as many places will be busy!

Legoland is opening March 1st and is going to be a ZOO especially over march break. They're pre-selling tickets online before opening day (they're cheaper that way too!) and that's pretty much the only way to guaruntee you will get in

also, Vaughan Mills (where Legoland is located) has a Disney Store outlet store located there. not sure if the Eaton Centre's location is open yet, don't think it is though....

No Disney Store at the Eaton Centre. Still sad about it.

I was actually thinking of swapping out legoland with Fantasy Fair. Thoughts? We are also going to just stay4 nights in TO and then 2 nights at the Crowne plaza Niagara Falls and do the waterpark.

Also I was thinking of going to the Disney store at yorkdale...
