The University of Toronto is Canada's largest university and considered one of its very best. Its downtown campus (St. George) campus is the original site with all of the older buildings (circ. mid 19th century) and most of its most prestigeous faculties. Of note for the math crowd would be the Fields Institute . Though not much to do when you visit, the immediate neighborhood makes for a wonderful day. Within a quick walk will be Chinatown, Kensington Market, and Provincial Parliament. On the subway, get off on the "Queen's Park" stop. Next to U of T, the average technocrat would likely be attracted to the engineering feats of the CN Tower (world's tallest free-standing structure) and the Sky Dome (now called the "Rogers Centre" named after the Canadian cable giant who owns the stadium). The Sky dome is unique for its massive retractable roof. Some might consider the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) or the Ontario Science Centre (the world's original interactive science museum) to be worthy stops. However, if you have regular access to New York, Chicago, London, etc. etc. you'll likely find these museums to be at mid-grade. T4.
