If you only do one cache in Toronto, make it this one. This is my favourite virtual that i have found yet and it taught me about a secret message that even I had no idea about (and I grew up in the GTA!!) 

 #1 - The Old City Hall Message

The Old City Hall Message

My contribution to an Epic Series that takes you to all 10 provincial capitals. 

Toronto Trek will take you through the Entertainment District of Toronto from the Hockey Hall of Fame, to the Base of the CN Tower at Roundhouse park! My goal was to make it a tourist friendly experience because the plan is to have cachers from all across Canada come and find this cache as part of their epic adventure. 


 Great White North Geotour - Toronto Trek

Fort York is an extremely important historical landmark. It was created in the late 18th century to defend the city of York (now known as Toronto) if the newly formed United States decided to attack (which they did in 1812) 

The cache page has a great write up of the importance and history of the fort. 

"Around Toronto" - Mystery at Fort York

A virtual located at the heart of Toronto, Union station. Specifically and the historic old section of the station. 

All Aboard!

All Aboard, Toronto Union Station!

ALLAN GARDENS VIRTUAL

Located on the beautiful Toronto Islands. The cache itself is the real goal for this one as it is the biggest geocache I know of. It's super easy to spot and would be a fun day for sure.

Bridge Boutique

Virtual located right beside Toronto's castle, Casa Loma. Beautiful mansion right in Toronto that is rich in history.

Casa Loma

Located in the beautiful and historic Distillery District. Definitely worth a visit! In December there is a christmas market that is really amazing. 

Distillery Tree

Located outside the downtown core at the ontario science centre

Every Cache Moves

Located at historic Queen's Park, the Ontario Parliament Building.

This is part of a neat series of virtuals across canada at a series of monuments that were dedicated at the same time in all provincial capitals to the land surveyors that helped in exploration and mapping of this continent sized country. 

First Post - Toronto

If you're a lover of a good earthcache, perhaps you'll enjoy this. 

While taking in Toronto's beautiful waterfront, you can learn more from this in depth earthcache about the harbour front and the development of Great Lakes. 

Great Lakes – Lake Iroquois 

This cache is also located in the area of the Skydome (currently known as the Rogers Centre). This one is easier than "sitting among giants"so if you have trouble with that one try this one instead. 

Let’s Go, Blue Jays!

Life in Canada Weather Beacon

Another neat little plaque to stop off while you're exploring downtown Toronto. This one is located in the Financial District, really close to Bay Street (the financial hub of the city) You'll see a lot of important skyscrapers that are home to most of Canada's banking executives. 

Multi-talented

If you like Orphan Black, it's a pretty easy puzzle. Otherwise you may have to do some research. Located right beside scenic Queen's Park

Orphan Black: Cosima Niehaus

This virtual is really cool because it takes you to historic Mount Pleasant Cemetery and to five graves in particular. Once you go to all five, you will discover how they are actually connected a the story will emerge. 

P. McIntosh & Sons

This series brings cachers to some random historical locations that are hidden amongst the urban sprawl that is the Greater Toronto area. Often, these historic buildings get surrounded by new developments, apartments and office towers - people forget they are even there. Then one day you are driving along and BANG you find a random historical building in the middle of 1960's apartments or post-war bungalows. Enjoy some of these hidden gems.

This 1936 Georgian stone mansion is now a luxury event venue but was once considered one of the most prestigous homes in Toronto. 

Random Historicals #1 - Graydon Hall

This location is a special one... our community has worked hard to protect the history of this Toronto suburb and relocated several historic buildings to this urban park that was originally settled in 1798.

Random Historicals #2 - Scarborough Museum

This location is a total surprise for most people - this beautiful Georgian home is situated smack dab in the middle of some new development including townhouses and a smaller condo building.

Random Historicals #3 - The Thornbeck-Bell House

This historically significant building was designed by Toronto's first architect Robert McCallum in 1906 and is a great example of the Canadian interpretation of the Arts & Crafts style.  

While you are on your way to get the cache, we suggest having a look at #467 Broadview... this well hidden cottage was built in 1807 and is believed to be the longest inhabited building in the city. It predates most of the buildings in Fort York and the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse.

Random Historicals #5 - Lawn Bowling Anyone?

Welcome to Toronto! The capital of Ontario and the biggest city in Canada. If you're a geocacher looking to do some sightseeing and geocaching together, here's a list of some key caches to find. They are either at major sightseeing locations or really unique hidden gems of the city.
