I have a question for the Canadians out there... Heather and I are going to Toronto for four days next week. I'll be in a conference all day, and one day she'll drive to MI to see her family... but what can she do by herself all day in Toronto for the other days? She loves to shop (for baby stuff usually) though we should be keeping that toned down... she loves museums... and gardens, though it may be too cold??
Any ideas?

Toronto has lots of great museums!
She'll want to take the subway/bus/streetcar all over, since parking is $$$ and the subway is so much faster when you're downtown. The best bargain there is an all day pass for about $8.00, which is about the same as three rides.
The Ontario Science Centre is kind of out in the boons, and I find the displays pretty dated, so skip that one, though it's great for kids.
The Bata Shoe Museum is quite fun and it's right on a subway line. Queen's Park is right beside, which is a nice spot to go wandering if it's a sunny day.
The Royal Ontario Museum is awesome.
She should wander through the gay village and stock up on rainbow whatever...get off at Wellesley station, walk one block east to Church, and she's in the thick of it.
For browsing, fun, quirky shopping Kensington Market is great, as is Queen St. W. She could easily spend a whole day in Kensington and on Queen St.
For upscale shopping, either Yorkdale Mall (think Holt Renfrew, high end clothing) or the Eaton Centre (Godiva, H&M).
The food in Toronto is great.
My absolute favourite restaurant, where you can get Ethiopian food, dinner for two, including two beer, and a generous tip for less than $20 is Nazreth Bar, which is on Bloor St. W near Ossington station, just walk east from the station, it's a little hole in the wall on the south side.
I guess it gets different (not easier).
She ended up with a "perfume hangover" instead. I wish people would keep their scents to a minimum. She actually smelled like she was wearing it when she got home. Ugh.
I'm somewhat obsessed myself.
