I-SPY a jackhammer guy at Legoland
Legoland Discovery Centre in Vaughan Mills includes the fantastic miniature City of Toronto entirely made out of Lego bricks. There's lots to observe in Legoland's Miniland.

Niagara Falls, as seen in Legoland's parallel universe
Here's Niagara Falls, as seen at Legoland Discovery Centre in Vaughan Mills. (Note that most of the buildings in Miniland are landmarks from Toronto.)
Last summer I visited Niagara Falls at night with young friends. I though Legoland did a great job at recreating the ambiance. When night falls over the city, there's even a small projection of some firework display in the background!

When you look on the floor around the raised platform, you can read street names to help you figure out in what part of town you are.

A friend of mine lives in a tall condo overlooking the Hockey Hall of Fame, which gave me a chance to take this shot of the attraction.

CN Tower as seen in Legoland's parallel universe
Here's the CN Tower, as seen at Legoland Discovery Centre in Vaughan Mills.
They've even recreated the real CN Tower's light effects, which you can admire when the night fall over the tiny city.

Toronto City Hall, as seen in Legoland's parallel universe
The good thing about Legoland is that once you're in, you can explore it any way you like. At the beginning, kids are too excited to take the time to admire the models entirely made of Lego blocks. But once they've tried everything else in the attraction, they're ready to return to Miniland to truly appreciate what's going on in the miniature city of Toronto.
Here's Toronto City Hall at Nathan Phillips Square, as seen at Legoland Discovery Centre in Vaughan Mills.
