CultureWorks organises trips to famous Canadian landmarks because it’s such a great way for students to learn about Canada’s history and culture, while practising their English skills.

Whether you love history, the arts, or getting outside to enjoy Canada’s beautiful natural landscape – our list of top places to visit in Ontario has something for everyone!

Visit the Famous Niagara Falls while you Study English in Canada

Out of all of Canada’s top tourist sites, Niagara Falls is among the most famous – and with good reason. It’s among the tallest in the world, and as much as two million litres of glistening green water flows over its edge every second!

CultureWorks students get to visit this iconic Canadian landmark that attracts about 12 million tourists every year.

Marvel at the CN Tower: an Engineering Wonder of the Modern World

If you visit Toronto, you’ll get to see the world-famous CN Tower. You can’t miss it. It’s one of the tallest towers in the world! Visitors can eat dinner and see amazing views of the city from the revolving restaurant at the top of the tower, and look down over 450 metres through its spooky glass floor.

Students at ESL Schools in Ottawa can Skate along the Rideau Canal

If you decide to enroll in an ESL school in Ottawa, then you’ll get to see one of the most famous canals in Canada – the Rideau Canal. Every winter, cold weather causes the canal’s water to freeze and thousands of people skate along it. There are places to stop for hot chocolate and other tasty treats along the way, and Canadians will often spend hours enjoying the view and the fun of ice-skating along the 202 kilometre waterway.

Practise Your Listening Skills at the Stratford Festival in Ontario

Attending a play in Stratford, Ontario is the perfect way for CultureWorks students to practise their English comprehension skills while enjoying some world-class theatre.

Every summer, the tiny town of Stratford fills up with theater enthusiasts from around the globe who come to see its famous drama festival. Catch some of the best productions of Shakespeare, or see one of the many musicals or modern plays also included in each year’s line-up.

Visit Thousand Islands and Discover the Tragic Story of Boldt Castle

As you study English as a second language in Canada, you should be sure to visit the famous Thousand Islands. Located in a small stretch of the St. Lawrence between the cities of Kingston and Brockville, Thousand Islands is a small cluster over 1, 800 little islands.

Try and spot the heart-shaped island with Boldt Castle – which was built by the millionaire George C. Boldt for his beloved wife. Construction of the castle began in 1900, but when Boldt’s wife suddenly died just a few months before it was finished, Boldt refused to complete the project. Student can tour this magnificent castle while enjoying beautiful views of the river.
