Here's Every Toronto Attraction You Can Visit from the Comfort of Your Home

Torontonians are spending an unprecedented amount of time inside at home as the province responds to the coronavirus outbreak, which has led to the widespread closure of the city’s many cultural institutions and attractions in an effort to stop the spread of the virus.

But rather than shutting their doors for good, many of the city's biggest attractions are now offering Torontonians virtual access to their buildings in light of this challenging time.
