Hockey Hall of Fame
The Hockey Hall of Fame has a very complete gallery of whatever is related to hockey and NHL (National Hockey League). Inside we can see a lot of helmet and equipment that belongs to famous player such as Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemeux.
But you can also have fun by playing games (related to hockey) there. There is one in where you must shoot at the chosen spot or to defeat an goaltender and also there is a game in which you are the goaltender and you try stop the players shooting.
Ahhhh!!! I almost forget it Liliana get lost in the Hockey Hall of Fame jajajaja... but she is so smart that she could return to the residence alone XD... but she missed ROM Muajajajajajajajajajaja.

Marineland
The sea lions performed several hilarious antics that made us smile and the dolphins with their high-flying bows, amazing flips and other stunts was awesome. At the end of the show appeared an giant but adorable walrus that makes everyone laugh.
Then I went to the world's largest roller coaster The Dragon Mountain, the coaster run around a mountain and across caves and made several loops. it was awesome.

Royal Ontario Museum (ROM)
We began at the Asian Art spot, we saw different kind of artifact as statues, specially the one that look like a soldier; jars, paintings and ancient books where we could observed the ancient chinese, korean and japanese writings.
The ROM has an wide collection of dinosaur skeletons that includes the largest dinosaur in Canada, the Barosaurus. But there's not only dinosaur but also examples of early mammals skeletons; as well as those of early birds, reptile and marine animals.
But the ROM also contain an very complete variety of artifacts that belongs to different countries and periods.
For example:
In the Africa gallery I observed artifacts such as agricultural implements, jewelry, cosmetics, funerary furnishings and more. I even saw an mummy case with the mummy inside.
One of the most strange gallery in the museum, is the Patricia Harris Gallery of Costumes and Textiles in which includes a broad range of garments and fabrics, including examples from the Chinese imperial court, 18th century European fashions.

Canada's Wonderland
We arrived to Wonderland early in the morning at 9:30 am.
Inmediately we arrive we form the line to get in, after get in we form the line to get in the roller coaster, The Flying Deck. Flight Deck is a steel inverted roller coaster.
This mega coaster simulates flight with at high speeds , exhilarating 90-degree vertical climbs, barrel rolls, inverted wing loopovers, a 270-degree after burn and a complete snap roll over. Riders take flight in a fully open cockpit suspended beneath the coaster's steel track as the sky races below.
Then we went to the Vortex, the Vortex is a suspended roller coaster, which enables it to swing under the track like Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Europe it was awesome XD......
You will get wet on this ride as a matter of fact you will probably get soaked. One of only two wet rides that remains outside of Splash Works. One of the few rides that I would never ridden, but I did O.o. Like most flume rides Timberwolf also has a bridge that guest can stand on and get soaked as the boat plunges into the water after the drop.
At last on Drop Tower, I sat on a high-speed transport lift . At the top of the tower, guests have but moments to take in the panoramic view of the Park before it registers that what goes up must come down. Free falling at more than 100km/h. My heart end up in my mouth.

Toronto Zoo
We arrive at 12:00 am inmediately we started the trip visiting the Indo-Malayan pavilion, that was a very peculiar pavilion, it looks like a forest, it was plenty of flowers and several species of butterflies.
In the Indo-Malayan Pavilion we saw several rare species like the Great IndianRhino, the Lion-tailed Macaque, the malayan tapir.
In the Africa Savanna we observed some many big animals like the African elephant, African lion, Masai Giraffe, Warthog.
But when we arrive to the Canadian Domain something ocurred to the animals because they were absent and we get frustated.
We also saw kangaroos and emus inside the cage without benches XD..... At the end of the trip I went to the safari simulator that was so funny also XD....
We learn so much about animals and how vulnerable they are, and the effort of the zoo to protect and preserve endangered species.
