Things to do in Toronto in winter

Winter in Toronto is the worst, but despite this year's brutal barrage of storms, we must admit, the city is absolutely beautiful when it's covered in snow—even Oprah thinks so. With the final days of winter just around the corner, let's take a minute enjoy the city before it all turns to slush.

Here's 10 things you must do in Toronto before winter is over.

Outdoor skating

We still have a days of frigid weather left, meaning you can still skate for free in the city. The Bentway skating trail may already be closed for the season but some neighbourhood rinks are still operating, including the hotspot Nathan Philips Square, which remains open until March 17.

See snowy owls at Leslie Spit

The Spit is a bird lover's paradise year-round (it's a designated Important Bird Area), but winter is the only time you'll be able to see the glory of the Leslie Spits' snowy owls for yourself.

Dine in a heated igloo

Dome dining was definitely this winter's hottest trend. You have until tomorrow to hit up The Fifth's cluster of heated dinner igloos, while the Intercontinental's pair of domed oases is sticking around for the rest of March. The Bentway's Dinner With A View lasts all the way to May 2.

Visit all the art on the waterfront

Lake Ontario might currently look like the home of the White Walkers right now, but there's a few art installations prettying up the shore of that frozen land. Check out Ice Breakers on Queen's Quay West until April 17, or Winter Stations along Woodbine Beach until April 1.
