Sky Dome
Sky Dome is the world's greatest entertainment center. It's a host to wide variety of sporting
spectaculars, concerts, family shows and consumers shows.
How big is Toronto's Sky Dome? Well, you could put eight Boeing 747s on the playing field. Or
all of Eaton Center. Or a 32-home subdivision. Or the Roman Coliseum. Even with the retractable roof
closed, a 31-storey buildings could fit inside the structure. The $500-millions buildings opened on June 3,1989, after 32 months of construction. On that day, inclement weather forced the developers to prove that the panelled roof could be closed in 20 minutes. The roof runs on a series of steel track and bogies, weighs 11000 tons and is made up of steel
tresses covered by steel cladding. The eight-acre stadium offers sports fans five levels of seating and the world's largest video replay screen. More than 50000 people at a time can watch a football or a baseball game, and there is also a 350-room hotel built into the north end of building, with 70 rooms offering a view of the playing field. But the building is much more than a place to watch sporting events under an open roof. There are 23 fast-food stands, 48 beverage outlets, a 430-seat restaurant for quick-service dining, a 300-foot-long bar overlooking the field, the largest McDonnell’s in North America, the Hard Rock Cafe, and a 120-seat movie theater where tours of the building begin.

 

Niagara Falls
Every year more than 12 million people come to Ontario to see the natural phenomenon knows
as Niagara Falls. Many are just married, although no one is quite sure how that tradition got started. They
come to see the combined cascading power of the 54-metre Canadian Falls - knows as Horseshoe Falls
- and the American Falls, which soars to 56 meters.
There are a variety of ways to view the spectacle: four boats enter the Horseshoe Basin and pass directly in front of cataracts, three tunnels allow visitors to walk behind the Falls. To view the sights from above, you can make a 10-minute helicopter ride, rise to the top of the Skypod Tower observation deck via the external glass - fronted elevators, or visit the viewing platform at the Minolta Tower and Marine Aquarium.
