Hi all, my husband and I are planning our trip to the North East part of Canada for November.
We will be arriving in Quebec (10 nights for work), then off for a road trip to NS, NB, and PEI for a little over a week before catching a train to Montreal (4 nights) then by train to Toronto to catch a game of ice hockey on 23rd November the day we arrive Toronto.
With perhaps 4 nights how should we spend our time in and around Toronto? We are interested in the museums, but what else to see in the city?
We have visited Niagara Falls from the USA side and took the Maid of the Mist boat, but we would love to see the falls lit up at night time, but that will take just a few hours, is there anything else interesting to perhaps spend a night around the area? a winery or something?

Thanks for any help or info.

In addition to nights in Toronto, consider an overnight in the Niagara Wine Region...

You can either stay in Niagara Falls with a Fallsview room and a day trip through the Wine country in nearby Niagara on the Lake... Or

Consider the romantic properties in Niagara on the Lake with a side trip to see the Falls at night... This option offers top rated hotels, dining options, and scenic vineyards...

If you overnight in Niagara Falls, you are more exposed to the tickey tackey tourist area near the Falls, chain dining, and inflated prices...

There are over 100 wineries in the region as well as the quaint village of Niagara on the Lake...

Please keep in mind that your visit is during U.S. Thanksgiving week and tourist activity increases somewhat during the week...

As far as Toronto, consider the diversity of cultures in your planning... Ethnic neighborhoods bring excellent and authentic food choices and the waterfront of Lake Ontario dominates the City... There is a vibrant theatre and music culture and walking the city is the best way to experience funky neighborhoods... If the weather turns cold, public transportation and underground pathways are easy and plentiful...

Have fun...

Yes, it's pretty, for about 15 minutes standing around in the damp and chilly November night. And yes, there are other attractions in the area between the falls and Niagara-on-Lake. There are also other, much better, times to visit. The orchards and vineyards will be stripped of foliage, the scenery gone brown for winter. You can't see much of the region without a car. That means a full day out of your narrow schedule and the drive from Toronto is expressway madness any time of the year. Toronto itself will be in full swing as one of the top live theatre cities on the continent, plus museums, symphony, maybe opera, jazz, and egotistical fine dining. Lots of ideas to keep you happy there through the usual web searches for official tourist information.

Spend some time in the Distillery District - the Christmas Market will have started then. Enjoy some mulled wine and fabulous restaurants. Kensington Market. Catch the symphony or see a Mirvish Show in King West Entertainment District. The ROM is wonderful and I haven't been to the aquarium but some might recommend it as well. There is the AGO if you're an art-lover. Once you have an itinerary let us know and we can help with restaurants and drinks.

Take the ferry over to the Toronto Islands and back -- great view of the city skyline. If you have more time, get off at Wards Island and wander for a bit.

If you do go to the Christmas Market at the Distillery District you might consider making a whole evening of it. It's prettier at night anyway. Have dinner, walk around the stalls and the shops (get chocolate at Soma for sure) and then catch a play at the Young Centre which is a very nice theatre right at the DD.
