Old Toronto Tourist Scavenger Hunt

Old Toronto Tourist Scavenger Hunt

Are you planning a visit to Toronto? Our tourist scavenger hunts will take you throughout Old Toronto from Union Station to the lakefront, through the St.Lawrence Market and the CN Tower of course!

You will have to solve challenges at every step to discover your next destination. At each step, you will learn a little history as well as interesting facts about what surrounds you.

Two versions are available. The regular scavenger hunt is shorter in length and time, while the Explorer hunt will take you further and see more sites (see the differences).
