Toronto may not get as many rainy days as some other Canadian cities—we’re looking at you, Vancouver—but it certainly has its share of rainfall and cold winter weather where you just want to be indoors. Need some Toronto activity inspiration for those not-so-sunny days? We got you.

Stroll through a museum or gallery

Toronto is home to over 60 world-class museums and galleries, so it could rain for two months straight and you wouldn’t have to visit the same place twice. There are the classics like the Royal Ontario Museum, Canada’s largest and most-visited museum, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, but there are so many others, too, like the Bata Shoe Museum, Hockey Hall of Fame, Textile Museum of Canada, Aga Khan Museum, Museum of Illusions and much more.

Cheer on a local sports team

In Toronto, no matter the time of year, there’s always a sports game to go to (or cheer on from a local bar). From spring to fall, the Blue Jays play at the Rogers Centre a.k.a. the SkyDome—go on a Tuesday when hot dogs are just one dollar—and from fall to early summer, the Raptors and Maple Leafs both play at Scotiabank Arena. There are also the Argonauts, Nationals and Sceptres for football, cricket and women’s hockey.

Explore the city’s diverse restaurant scene

Toronto is oft-considered the most diverse city in the entire world and the food here definitely reflects that. There’s everything from Michelin-starred Japanese fine-dining at Aburi Hana to cozy Egyptian brunch at Maha’s to classic Chinese dim sum at Rol San. Plus, there’s many great coffee shops like Rooster, Jimmy’s and Propeller and breweries such as Blood Brothers and Left Field where you can sit, have a drink and wait out the rain.
