The Bata Shoe Museum is a one-of-a kind museum that every history buffs should check out. It's fascinating how they brought me back to hundreds of years ago to learn how shoes evolved, which reflects on the changes that humankind had been through.
The museum has four floors, if I remembered correctly and every exhibit was equally interesting. And this is coming from a guy who doesn't care for shoes and don't wear shoes as a fashion statement. The downside to this museum is the steep admission fee of $14. If you are looking for a unique place to go in Toronto, you might want to consider the Bata Shoe Museum.
