The Canadian National Exhibition Returns to Toronto - What to See and Do in 2022 - CNE

 




Every time that I go to the Canadian National Exhibition to provide media coverage, I have new experiences!
Being that this was the return of the CNE after the hiatus, I wasn't sure what to expect at THE EX. Plus the fact that the day began with rain, it was going to be a different experience altogether.  

Don't Let a Little Rain Dampen Your Experience at the Ex

There is a lot to see and do at the CNE even when the weather doesn't cooperate.  The best place to head when it is raining is to the Enecare Centre.  This building hosts a variety of experiences for the whole family to enjoy.

There are daily shows at the International Stage and Cooking Stage


You can visit the Exhibits which included the Nook of Gnomes, National Geographic: The Greatest Wildlife Photographs, CNE Heritage: An Immersive Experience and more,




There is even an indoor drone and laser show - Nevaeh and the NorthStar - happening at various times. 


You will also find the Gaming Garage, the Superdogs Show and lots of Shopping opportunities.

As a plus during the rain, the Busker Stage and the Mascots were inside the Enecare Centre that day.


The Enecare Centre has something for everyone, but that is not the only indoor experience at the CNE.

The Farm is another great building with lots of fun exhibits. There are animals, educational demonstrations, and fun displays.




Other buildings you can visit at the CNE include The Food Building, the Arts, Crafts and Hobbies Building and The Withrow Common Gallery just to name a few.


 You can see all the buildings listed on the CNE MAP.

Later in the day, the rain let up and I was able to grab a few outdoor pics and won a swag bag from the Shoppers Drug Mart booth.  






There is still lots to enjoy at the Canadian National Exhibition no matter the weather conditions.

The CNE run until Labour Day - September 5, 2022

Raptors, Raccoons, Races and (Augmented) Reality Were All Themes at #CNE2019



As in prior years we love to tell our readers about the great experiences that happen each year at the CNE.   Last year the CNE brought a bright new exhibit to the Canadian National Exhibition. Legends of the Silk Road Come To Light is an astonishing indoor lantern festival that takes place daily at the CNE and this year the added Augmented Reality to the display.




The display has been moved to the arena for this year's event which is attached to the Enecare Centre.  Another switch is locations is the Butter Sculpture.  It has moved from the Farm Building to the Enecare Center, and if you are Disney and Marvel fans like we are, you are certain to be impressed by this year's projects.


Another display that has a new location is the sand sculpture.  This year's sand sculpture is all about the Toronto Raptors and can be found in the Farm building.



As shown in the instagram post the sand sculpture was not the only Raptors items we found around the CNE grounds.


I was all about the Raptors Raccoon 

While Diane was happy to see the ABLE Autism Raccoon

If you are looking to find the Raccoons Reimagined, they are situated by the fountain.

If you think we have you racing around the CNE grounds, then take a seat and watch 2 different races happening at this year's CNE.

The first is the SUPERDOGS show that can be found in the Enecare Centre 

and the second is a new entry into the Canadian National Exhibition.  It is THE EX Race.  If you are a fan of the Ninja Warrior challenges then this competition show will be fun for you watch and it may inspire you to participate in an upcoming race too.

If racing isn't your thing, there are a variety of shows at the Busker Stage outside of the arena and the International Stage inside the Enecare Centre.

We took in acrobats with bikes, hoops and fire!

All of these shows and exhibits are included in the Admission Price so visit their ticket page for pricing.



What treats did we have at the CNE?
With DOLE WHIPS of course.  Find them between the Busker Stage and the Bingo Tent. 
Did you know at the BINGO tent they have a FREE GAME on the hour? Be sure to ask Diane how she did! 





Every year that we go to the Canadian National Exhibition to provide media coverage, we have new experiences!


Remember the CNE ends on Labour Day so get there quick.
Let us know in the comments about your CNE experience!
