Arts & Culture
A modern and trendy district, a national historic site and walking District. One of the favourite destination for locals and tourists famous for its uniquely atmosphere transformed from a collection of Victorian Industrial buildings. A combination of local history, dining, sightseeing and
some shopping. The best hour I would recommend is during sunset hours when everything becomes cozy and shaded in gold. Always busy.

One of the newest and biggest aquarium in Canada, and it is just next door as you can see from the balcony. The best time to visit to me is during the late night before its closure around 11pm in most of the days. You will find yourself enjoy the aquarium without too many people around. It would take you on average one hour to have a decent walk inside the aquarium.
