Hey #AERA19 travelers! Visit High Park while you are in #Toronto and see the blooming cherry blossoms! blogto.com/sports_play/20…

If you're bringing your fam or a friend along or you just want to wander around and explore a bit of Toronto during #AERA19, here are a few other stops you may want to check out. First up-- graffiti alley! blogto.com/arts/2018/06/g…

Take a pic at the infamous "Toronto" letters at Nathan Phillips Square (an easy walk from the Convention Centre) after you present at #AERA19 -- toronto.ca/services-payme…

If you're attending #AERA19, it will be hard to miss the CN Tower. You can easily snap a pic OR you can pay the big bucks and take a lift to the top! -- cntower.ca/intro.html

Right next door, you'll find the aquarium which may be a great place to hang if #AERA19 includes a few rainy days -- ripleyaquariums.com/canada/

If you're a book nerd or fan of @HandmaidsOnHulu, you'll want to take a walk or streetcar up to @UofT to see Robarts Library (also where filming happened earlier this year!) You can also stroll the Philospher's Walk! #AERA19 -- utoronto.ca/visitors

You could also plan your trip to @UofT to align with one of the many cool events hosted @OISEUofT in conjunction with #AERA19! eventbrite.co.uk/e/gea-and-quer…

If large-scale shops are less interesting to you, you may want to check out Kensington Market instead! (An easy ride using public transit from #AERA19)

For folks interested in museums, check out @ROMtoronto [located almost across the street from @OISEUofT!]...It's an easy commute from #AERA19 to this cool museum! -- rom.on.ca/en

Need a different musum to check out after you rock your #AERA19 presentation? Head to the nearby @agotoronto! -- ago.ca

Want to take in a show while here for #AERA19? You can find great options at the @Mirvish theatres! Definitley get tickets in advance! -- mirvish.com

You could also opt to check out a @SecondCityTO show! I LOVED "She The People" earlier this year and can tell you they have some incredibly funny women! #AERA19 secondcity.com/shows/toronto/…

Alternatively, visit the Royal Conservatory and check out a concert between your #AERA19 sessions! -- rcmusic.com/concerts

You might also think about trying to get tickets to the @UNHumanright @TIFF_NET Film Fest happening the same weekend as #AERA19 -- tiff.net/human-rights-w…

Another place to check out is the @StLawrenceMkt which might be especially nice for folks that have kitchens during #AERA19! -- stlawrencemarket.com

These are just a few of many things y'all may want to check out during #AERA19! One thing I highly recommend is strolling through the different neighborhoods of the city as they each have their own distinct feel (& great eats!) & nearly all are accessible via public transit!
