For an unforgettable experience of breathtaking natural wonder, make sure to spend a day at Niagara Falls, located about 90 minutes outside of Toronto. Niagara Falls is actually a group of three waterfalls that straddle the border between Canada and the U.S. Over 700,000 gallons of water go over the falls every second, and there are tours available that allow you to descend the rocky cliffs and get an up close and personal view of the falls. Or, if you prefer an aerial perspective, you can book a group helicopter tour in advance.

Toronto is also home to The National Ballet of Canada, which features an elaborate performance of the Nutcracker every holiday season.
