VT Insider Tip
Go on a weekday to actually get close to the boats. Weekend crowds make it hard to do anything but shuffle through aisles.
About
North America's largest indoor boat show takes over the Enercare Centre every January with hundreds of boats, from kayaks to yachts. It's a cabin-fever antidote that draws boating enthusiasts and dreamers alike.
What to Expect
Huge indoor exhibition hall packed with watercraft, marine gear, fishing tackle, and cottage-life vendors. The indoor lake has live kayaking and paddleboarding demos.
Pro Tips
Wear layers — it's warm inside but you'll be walking a lot. The show floor is enormous. Focus on one section per visit if you have specific interests.
Getting There
Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place. Take the 509/510 streetcar or the Exhibition GO stop. Driving is fine on weekdays; weekends are a parking nightmare.
