10 Places I Want to Visit in Canada

Gillian O’LaneyIn No Particular Order

1. Niagara FallsNiagara Falls is a collective name for 3 water falls located on the international boarder between Canada and The United States. More specifically, Niagara Falls is located between the province of Ontario and state of New York. I’d like to visit and see the Canadian side of Niagara Falls because I’ve heard our view is nicer than America’s view. I also want to see it because I want to make up my own opinion on the popular tourist attraction.

2. Banff National ParkBanff National Park is the oldest national park in Canada and is located in Alberta. I want to visit this national park because from what I’ve heard, it is a very beautiful park filled with glaciers, mountains, and dense forests. I also want to visit Banff National Park because it would be a nice experience and Instagram photo.

3. Jasper National Park

Jasper National park is the largest national park in the Canadian Rockies which is also located in Alberta just north of Banff National Park. I want to visit this national park because it includes waterfalls, hot springs, mountains and glaciers from the Columbia Icefield.

4. CN Tower The CN Tower is a tower in Toronto, Ontario that is 147 stories tall. It was the tallest tower in the world from 1976 to 2007. The tower attracts more than two million international visitors each year. I want to visit this site because it is still the tallest tower in Canada and it would be a great experience to have as a Canadian.

5. Bay of FundyThe Bay of Fundy is a bay that is known for having the highest tidal range in the world, and it is located between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In the picture, you can see that the land can be flooded with the high tide at one point then dry and able to be walked on the next. You can also see how the tide has formed the rocks over time. I’d like to visit the Bay of Fundy to see this through my own eyes.

6. Toronto Zoo The Toronto Zoo is Canada’s largest zoo that is located in Toronto, Ontario. I would like to visit this zoo because it is home to over 5,000 animals (including invertebrates and fish) representing over 450 species.

7. Algonquin Provincial Park

Algonquin Provincial Park is a provincial park located in Central Ontario between Georgian Bay and the Ottawa River. It is the oldest provincial park in Canada, and the unique mixture of forest types and wide variety of environments allows the park to support an uncommon diversity of plant and animal species. I would like to visit this provincial park because it seems like a beautiful place with great experiences and sites to witness.

8. Canadian Museum for Human RightsThe Canadian Museum for Human Rights is a Museum located here in Winnipeg, Manitoba that we are all familiar with. I would like to visit this new museum mostly to further inspect and admire the architecture, but also to embrace this new addition to Winnipeg.

9. ChurchillChurchill, Manitoba is a town on the west shore of Hudson Bay. It is most famous for the many polar bears that move from inland to the shore in autumn. There is also many local tourism businesses that give you the opportunity to see these wild polar bears up close. I want to visit Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears in their natural habitat.

10. MarinelandMarineland is a popular tourist destination in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It is a themed amusement and animal exhibition park with a blend of animal attractions and rides. I want to visit this tourist attraction to see the Orcas, Dolphins and Beluga Whales.
