Camp ChelseaEnrol your children in the fully-supervised Camp Chelsea activities program while you shop or explore the city. Then relax in one of the hotel's five restaurants, unwind in the adults-only fitness centre or enjoy the Family Fun Zone with Camp Chelsea Children's Centre, a huge family pool and the teen Starcade games room. For more fun and thrills, there's the 130ft "Corkscrew" - downtown Toronto's only indoor waterslide.

King Tut Funerary MaskThe Delta Chelsea's downtown location means you are perfectly positioned for many of Toronto's activities and attractions. For instance, thirty years after its celebrated Canadian debut, an all-new exhibition -- King Tut: the Golden King and the Great Pharaohs -- will make its sole Canadian appearance at the AGO.

Opening November 24, 2009 this incredible show features more than 100 treasures from the tomb of King Tut and some of the most important rulers throughout 2,000 years of ancient Egyptian history. This is the last chance to see these wonders in Canada before they return to Cairo forever. Go to kingtut.ca to purchase tickets now!

Salon at the AGOThe AGO holds more than 79,000 works in its permanent collection, which spans from 100 A.D. to the present. The Canadian collection vividly documents the development of the nation's art heritage since pre-Confederation, including one of the largest and finest Inuit art collections in the world and pivotal works by the Group of Seven.

In addition, the AGO holds many masterpieces of European art from artists as diverse as van Dyck and Pablo Picasso. As well as the world's largest public collection of works by British sculptor Henry Moore the AGO maintains a comprehensive collection of Contemporary art.
