For those who like to stay active: Head to the Harbourfront Natrel Ice Rink

Only an eight-minute walk from the Westin Harbour Castle, the Harbourfront Natrel Ice Rink is set against the beautiful shoreline of Lake Ontario, and is the city’s most scenic ice rink. A popular skating destination in Toronto for more than 30 years, this really is a must-do winter activity for those who love getting active.

For those who want to let loose: Party (or skate) the night away at DJ Skate Nights

Toronto’s number one outdoor winter party DJ Skate Nights returns every Saturday night with a stellar lineup of DJs. Bundle up your clothes, get your skates on, and head on over to Harbourfront Natrel Ice Rink for the best party in town — you won’t regret it.

For those who appreciate art: Visit the Ice Breakers installations

Now in its third annual year, visit the winter-themed public art exhibition presented by PortsToronto during your trip to Toronto’s downtown Waterfront. This year, see the sights and sounds of illuminated starlight hours with a cascade of colours, kaleidoscopic mirrors, and sweet-sounding bells. The Westin Harbour Castle is an official partner of the Ice Breakers, and is the perfect location to stay to experience the installations on display along the Waterfront for five weeks starting January 19, 2019.
