The CNE: where farming and rickety rides meet royalty and wars. Come take a walk through the 140+ year history of the Exhibition Grounds.

As usual, there is lots of ambiance in this episode, so you'll feel like you're at the CNE if you can't go in person this year. There are also directions for exploring the grounds during the CNE as well as the rest of the year.

Walk-Along Info:
Walk length: About an hour
Accessibility: fairly flat, lots of paved roads and sidewalks BUT can be challenging to get around during the CNE if you're not walking
Start: Dufferin Gate Loop
Finish: Princes' Gates
