Must-See Exhibits at CNE


210 Princes' Blvd, Toronto, ON M6K 3C3
 The CNE takes place at the Exhibition Place each year in Toronto, Canada. It was founded in 1879. The "EX" brings in 1.5 million visitors every summer for 18 days in August. Attractions, food, and shopping. I go to the EX every year. It's that one day you're okay to overpay for everything... This is every food lovers dream, hundreds of unique finds to line up for. Here's a couple of pictures from my experience of the years. 




Drink a Fruit from a Fruit (August 2015)

Drink fruit from a pineapple, watermelon, or coconut! The pineapple one is my favourite. One of the most popular attractions at the CNE. Lines are long, but definitely worth it.








Real Fruit Splash (August 2016)

Fruit Shaken with Ice. This vendor will be back with 4 new locations this summer. Mohito, Strawberry, Raspberry, or Lemonade infused drinks. I love the Raspberry. No, it's alcohol-free. This healthy alternative doesn't use blenders and you can get yours without the sugar.



The Collossal Onion (or mistake?!)

Waited all day to try these onion rings. Word of advice, find someone to share those with you (the more the merrier). If you go at it alone, you'll lose the battle.









Candy Time Express

Candy Apples are a staple, but avoid another trip to the dentist (may be unavoidable at this point), and try the Caramel one.








Ferris Wheel





Nightlife at the CNE. After eating all that food going on those rides that spin and flip around wouldn't end well. The Ferris Wheel is a fun ride for all ages.

Touring the Dam

Nevada's Hoover Dam (August 2016) When travelling to Vegas touring Hoover Dam and Lake Mead is a must.  Located in Boulder City, Nevada (30 miles from Las Vegas), lies a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. Pictured above is the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Memorial Bridge which  protects the border between Arizona and Nevada. Hoover Dam Power Plant The power plant protects the dam by supplying hydroelectric power and flood control. Men Building the Dam Construction to build the dam started in 1933.  Prompted by the Great Depression thousands of men left their homes promised employment. Over 100 reported deaths were caused by falling objects and heat exhaustion (119 degrees Fahrenheit / 48 degrees Celsius).  All Aboard the Desert Princess The Desert Princess is a three-level paddle-wheeler that holds 275 passengers. Part 2 of my day trip to Boulder City was touring Lake Mead, the highest reservoir in the United States.
