The Bata Shoe Museum, 327 Bloor Street West. http://.www.batashoemuseum.ca
I kid you not. A great place to spend an afternoon or more.
Casa Loma, 1 Austin Terrace. http://www.casaloma.org
Classic castle-built-by-19th-century-rich-guy. Wonderful place, I attended a relative's wedding and reception there. Plus it was the site where they shot the interiors of Xavier's school for the first X-Men film; my wife's cousin was married in the room where Storm holds her class.
The CN Tower, of course. There's a great and not-too-expensive rotating restaurant at the top.
The SkyDome, the stadium where the Blue Jays play, has a great "behind the scenes" tour.
If you're there in August, there's the Natonal Exhibition (I think that's what it's called).
If you're into Hockey, the Hockey Hall of Fame is located at one end of a mall at 30 Yonge Street.
In the same mall is a market style restaurant called "Marche Movenpick". It's a bit on the pricey side, but it's damned good food.
The Royal Ontario Museum is a great place to spend several days all by itself.
Likewise the Ontario Science Center.
Mmm. If you want some interesting ideas, you might want to check out some of the early stories in EPU's Symphony of the Sword, several of which have whole sections about trips to Toronto, and despite being set some 500 years in the future, it's all stuff that's there right now.
