Megacity dating can be daunting even when it’s your hometown.

If you feel stuck trying to find a great idea for date night in your own city, try thinking like a tourist.

Muddy York, HogTown, T-Dot, The6, Toronto the Good, however you like to refer to it, Toronto, is Canada’s largest city. It is a hub for incredible museums, attractions, restaurants, and stunning views and access to the immense and beautiful, Lake Ontario. Sometimes too much information is paralyzing and knowing where to start can be as simple as picking a tour that suits your partner’s interests.

For the Foodie – Dining out together is always the go-to date night activity, and Toronto being one of Canada’s most culturally diverse places has a food scene that will not disappoint.

So, let’s explore some other great activities to do together before you order that bottle of wine and plate of poutine.

For the Art & Culture Lover – Like all major cities, Toronto has its fill of museums, two being the Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario. But what about exploring the beautiful Hockey Hall of Fame building for something a little different. It is full of hockey memorabilia, trophies, and a place to show off your stick skills! Casa Loma, a Gothic Revival-style mansion built in 1911 by the financier, Sir Henry Pellatt will not disappoint the history buff. And if the Toronto International Film Festival is on, you can literally spend days together watching films from the off-beat indie to the box office hit. And of course, the CN Tower, although not the tallest building anymore, but still an architectural marvel that dominates the Toronto skyline. A perfect place to end a date, take in the incredible sweeping city view as the sun sets over the lake.

For the Adventurer - The best way to see Toronto’s incredible skyline is on a harbour cruise. You will also see the chain of small islands in Lake Ontario that hosts numerous summer fun activities, hiking trails, picnic areas, and beaches.

If water is not your comfort zone, try a historical walking tour such as the Bruce Bell Historical Walking Tour. It may seem senseless to pay for a walking tour when you believe you know a place, but what if you stepped out with an open mind, arms entwined, walking side by side and just take it all in, you might discover something new

Of course, you can always mix it up, step outside your comfort zone for both of you, like taking the most outrageous rollercoaster at Canada’s Wonderland! Do something that pushes your comfort level. Having a chance to laugh at yourself and possibly learn something new can be a rewarding way to get to know someone.
