I ranked major tourist attractions in Toronto from 'actually worth it' to 'skip it'

I'm not ashamed to admit it; I actually love every tourist attraction in Toronto .

Love adult make-believe.

Like, yes, girl, let's LARP as tourists.

Let's have a staycation.

Let's take pictures in front of landmarks we've walked past 400 times and spend an entire Saturday doing things we would normally only recommend to our cousins when they visit from out of town.

I'm of the belief that Toronto actually has some pretty great tourist attractions, and most of them are worth checking out at least once.

More than once, however, may be pushing it for some — while others have earned permanent spots in my yearly calendar.

For this ranking, I'm considering value, versatility, how interesting the actual experience is, cuteness and vibes (obviously), and (perhaps most importantly) whether there's any reason to go back after your first visit.

From an attraction I've been visiting since I was a kid to one that I'm not entirely convinced is an attraction at all — here is my ranking of six of Toronto's big tourist hotspots. #1.

The Canadian National Exhibition (actually worth it) See on Instagram Price: $26.55 General Admission When: August 21 to September 7 Address: 210 Princes' Blvd., Toronto, ON Why You Need To Go: I don't care what you say; the CNE is a tourist attraction, and it's probably the most fun one on here.

Tourist attractions don't always have to be educational and historical.

Sometimes they can just be plain old good-fashioned FUN.

I've been going to the Ex pretty much every year since I was a kid, and I have no plans of stopping.

For me and everyone else in this city, the CNE marks the unofficial end of summer, and if you aren't spending the whole day there from morning until night, you're doing it wrong.
