What do in Toronto with teens? Any nearby daytrips?

We've been to Montreal and Vancouver, but we've never been to Toronto (aside from quick business trips where we didn't venture anywhere beyond meetings and nice dinners).

Centre island. You can take a ferry there, amusement park, bike around and get lunch. It was fun seeing the city from there.

NP. My teen would love that. Which hotel did you use?

DP but we stayed at the Delta Hotel with a view of the waterfront and the baseball stadium. They also have rooms with the CN tower view. The path also connects with their metro, which I highly recommend using because the traffic was really bad in Toronto.

We used the City pass and visited Casa Loma, aquarium, ROM, and did a harbor cruise which was a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Also went up the CN tower.

We stayed at the Hilton but there are several hotels connected and you can get to it from lots of places.

It's really targeted at little kids, though. Still nice to take the ferry over though.

The ROM will take a good chunk of one day. Niagara Falls if they’re never been. The CN Tower is way too expensive for what it is.
