I went to Toronto in september visiting a friend, we went to the CNE. was it just me or was the CNE a complete waste of time & money? An exhibition hall full of crap, countless rides that rip u off - forcing you to buy more credits. and food stalls? What does everyone else think?

I worked on the CNE in 1963 after working in the great halls of London and Europe thought it stacked up quite well. I suppose I was comparing it to the other venues, open ya mind big fella they are all to make money.

The EX is a great piece of TO culture and history. You will definitely get to see who and what resides in Toronto. Don't forget that Ontario Place is right there too. They have a water park and some other highlights worth checking out since your going to be there already. The CN Tower you didn't mention. Check that out. Lived in Toronto all my life and just went for the first time. I am 28 years old. Funny how you take advantage of what you have available to you when it's there. For a bunch of girls on adventure you will have to visit Queen Street for some fantastic shopping. If you are interested in going to the CNE just for the rides I would recommend going to Canada's Wonderland instead. Kinda like our version of a Disney or Six Flags. Plan to spend a day anywhere you go. And pack your own lunch. I know it sounds cheap but it beats paying 10 buck for a couple slices of pizza. Not at the EX though. Get into the mini donuts and beer. Ahhh so many memories are coming back LOL hmff maybe I'll see ya there.

If you're going there only to see "crap", that's what you'll get. There are a lot of interesting exhibits if you'd spend the time to look and stay off the midway. When I go, it's certainly not for the food or rides.

I had fun, and so did my 3-year-old. But it was WAY too expensive. And those credits for the rides were really annoying.

Oh yes - it is always a waste of time for a country to promote itself through it's culture and heritage by peaceful means.

Canadian Heritage.... an oxymoron if I ever heard one.
