Layovers in Toronto and Montreal - Ideas?

Hello! My family and I, a group of 6, will be travelling this weekend with layovers in Toronto ( arriving 5:30PM and departing 6:00AM the next day) and Montreal (arriving 8:00PM and departing 2:00PM). This will be our first time here and would like to know if it is advisable for us to go about exploring given our time available. That being said, what events or activities should we be looking into doing that would be available?

Are you using ViaRail or flying between cities?
The CN tower is right next to the train station in Toronto.

Okay, I'm wondering the same thing! I'll be in Toronto overnight with my 19 year old son. Staying in the Sheraton that's connected to the airport. What should we go see for a couple of hours, and how should we get there?

Does money matter?
My 20 year old says he'd take a night tour of Ripley's Aquarium, which is downtown next to the CN Tower.
So that's about $100 in taxi fees, plus the tour.
His second choice is to go downtown and have dinner in Chinatown.
What time of year? Again, go downtown and take an open-top double decker bus tour.

Yes, money matters! But if they have an open-top double decker bus tour late enough (we don't get in till eight p.m.), then that would be great! I'll do an internet search. Other ideas?

Okay, I checked it out. One of the tour bus lines has a last bus leaving at 5 p.m., and the other doesn't have times posted yet. But it's about two hours, so we'll be there too late. Oh, well.
