Queen's Park

This beautifully designed park in central Toronto is an essential stop for its stately sandstone architecture and historic sights. At every turn, there are museums and buildings, like the province’s legislature, which together tell the story of Toronto. All major sights are located within a couple of blocks of the immaculately landscaped Queen’s Park.
