Toronto CityPASS: The Essential Budget Hack? YES OR NO? 🤑

Toronto attractions are amazing, but they can seriously empty your travel budget. 😭 As a solo traveler trying to maximize a short trip, you have to get smart!

My quick tally:
CN Tower (Normally $53 CAD) ✅ Included!
Ripley’s Aquarium (Normally $52 CAD) ✅ Included!
Casa Loma (Normally $52 CAD) ✅ Included!

I saved $157 CAD on just these three spots, and I still have two more major attractions to visit! The CityPASS is absolutely worth the hype, making expensive Toronto accessible and fun!

👇 Have you used the CityPASS? Which Toronto attraction was your favorite or your biggest skip? Let me know!
