The Best View Isn’t Always on Land
This Air Show weekend, take your place on the rooftop of the River Gambler and experience Toronto from a completely different angle.
Aircraft cross the waterfront overhead. The CN Tower rises behind the boat. Lake Ontario stretches around you while live DJs create the soundtrack for an unforgettable afternoon cruise.
Come for the Air Show views. Stay for the rooftop atmosphere, skyline photos and energy onboard.
