First question would be where in TO are you going to be? If you're going to be downtown, Kensington Market is an eclectic little area with some interesting shops. A little further south will get you to Queen St West and a stroll in either direction will get you to some more independent and bigger name stores. The Distillery District is a bit out of the way, but it's home to the Mill St. Brew Pub which has decent foodz and good beerz and also where I've spent far more money than I'd like to divulge. If you're going west end, Bloor St. W. is your best bet since it has a TON of shops and great restaurants and depending on how far east you're going you can always check out Rouge Park. Again, it all depends on where you're going to be.

Is this your first time there? I'm rather surprised... we used to go a ton when I lived up there...
Ontario Science Centre is very cool if you're into that sort of thing. It may be a bit kids-oriented but it's probably the best science museum I've ever been to.
Guvernment (superclub) was my big hangout spot back then (first time seeing artists like Armin and Steve Lawler), though I'm guessing that wouldn't be your cup of tea.
Also Pacific Mall for counterfeit Chinese goods, lol

Best to go to this now since they're going to close the Guvernment and Kool Haus in January.

Go to Get Well. You can get drunk and play a TMNT arcade cabinet.

damn, i am going here next time i am up there

The Brass Rail (pay the premium to go to the upper level) and Zanzibar are decent strip clubs.
I hear the Ripley's Aquarium is pretty good, but I don't think that's unique to Toronto. IMO, pass on the Tower, check out the Falls if you can for some gambling and Sundowners strip club.
Queen St stretch from Eaton's Center to Ossington is worth checking out, too.

Too bad you don't drink.
Canadian beer in Canada :rejoice

Do it. It's great. They have a lot of classic stuff like Dig Dug, Centipede and Frogger too. It's all on free-play.
