Family trip to Toronto, with kids 8 and 6 years old where to go and Delta West Hotel any good ?

Montana's steakhouse in Toronto? near Delta hotel as i cant remember which Delta hotel had a Montana Steakhouse right next store in walking distance. Thank youFamily trip to Toronto, with kids 8 and 6 years old where to go and Delta West Hotel any good ?
The hotel with the Montana's steakhouse right next door is the Delta Toronto Airport West. However, if you go a few miles further west on Highway 401 to Erin Mills Parkway, there is the Delta Meadowvale Resort. It is often cheaper than or same price as the Airport location, but has much bigger rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis, and other facilities, so it is a better hotel all around.





As for parking charges, you can expect to pay anywhere from $6 to $12 a day near the airport, while downtyown hotels charge as much as $25 to $30 a day, on top of their usually much higher room rates!Family trip to Toronto, with kids 8 and 6 years old where to go and Delta West Hotel any good ?
Delta is good, the one near the airport is located in the middle of several good places to eat.
Paramount Canada's wonderland, Ontario Place, Centre Island, CN tower, Niagara falls is 1 hour drive ( Clifton Hill, marineland, Maid of the mist ). can't speak to the Delta west, have only stayed at the Delta chelsea downtown
Delta hotels are generally great for kids with their water slides and pools. The Delta West is close to the airport, which is further away from most downtown tourist attractions. You may want to look into the Downtown Delta. There are lots of family-friendly restaurants and steak houses all over the GTA, and a lot within walking distance of a downtown hotel.





Downtown Summer Attractions: Art Gallery of Ontario, Royal Ontario Museum, Harbourfront, CN Tower, Eaton Centre, the Beaches (Queen Street East) and more. The Science Centre, The Toronto Zoo and Canada's Wonderland are also popular sites which may require a car as they are further out.





When you are planning your activities in the city, check out the events calendar at www.kiddingaroundtoronto.com. I use it to plan weekends for my family in the city.





Have a great stay.
I tould try to stay in more of a downtown Toronto hotel.





The Delta Chelsie is great, or the Sheraton Centre. They are more expensive but you will save on gas/parking ($20.00/day) to enter the city.





Definately look into the bus tours in Toronto - they have hop on/hop off tours.





The best sites are Toronto Island/Waterfront area, CN Tower, Skydome, Rom, Art Gallery, Casa Loma, Science Center, etc.
Delta is a great hotel, and you are right in the centre of all the action.





Some great place to take the kids are Canada's Wonderland. You can buy tickets for cheap at any Pharma Plus, or Pizza Pizza. Don't buy your tickets at the gate, or you will pay a fortune.





The Ex is really good this time of year, as well as the CN tower, as long as you aren't afraid of heights.





You can also go to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum), it is amazing, but you need a good day there.





The Science Museum is really good for kids between 6 and 12, and isn't that expensive.





Toronto has some amazing places to visit. So enjoy your time. If you have more than a few days, Niagara Falls is just a couple hours drive away!





Have Fun, Ontario is a beautiful province, especially when you leave the city for a few hours.
