# Things to Do in Toronto on a Rainy Day

Toronto may not get as many rainy days as some other Canadian cities—we’re looking at you, [Vancouver](https://gocanada.com/en/things-to-do-in-vancouver-on-a-rainy-day)—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](https://www.rom.on.ca/en), Canada’s largest and most-visited museum, and the [Art Gallery of Ontario](https://ago.ca/), but there are so many others, too, like the [Bata Shoe Museum](https://batashoemuseum.ca/), [Hockey Hall of Fame,](https://www.hhof.com/) [Textile Museum of Canada](https://textilemuseum.ca/), [Aga Khan Museum](https://agakhanmuseum.org/), [Museum of Illusions](https://museumofillusions.ca/) 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](https://www.mlb.com/bluejays) 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](https://www.nba.com/raptors/) and [Maple Leafs](https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/) both play at Scotiabank Arena. There are also the [Argonauts](https://www.argonauts.ca/), [Nationals](https://www.torontonationals.ca/) and [Sceptres](https://toronto.thepwhl.com/en/) 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](https://www.aburihana.com/) to cozy Egyptian brunch at [Maha’s](https://www.mahasbrunch.com/) to classic Chinese dim sum at [Rol San](https://www.instagram.com/rolsan.to/?hl=en). Plus, there’s many great coffee shops like [Rooster](https://roostercoffeehouse.com/), [Jimmy’s](https://www.jimmyscoffee.ca/) and [Propeller](https://www.propellercoffee.com/) and breweries such as [Blood Brothers](https://www.bloodbrothersbrewing.com/) and [Left Field](https://www.leftfieldbrewery.ca/) where you can sit, have a drink and wait out the rain.
