Must 'eat'

Just looking at the menu can make you willing to buy tickets for various delicious foods, which is definitely one of CNE's biggest selling points every year. There are various authentic cuisines from North America to Asia that you can't think of, except for those you haven't tried! In addition to "Ice Cream Waffle", which has been a signature dish of CNE since its birth in 1940, French's Food Truck French&Beer Fest and the famous Food Building, which have returned this year, also have many must try food recommendations:

今年回归的French’s Food Truck Frenzy，除了有多伦多24个美食名店的Food Truck将爲大家奉上各种风味美食，还在中心区设有极受欢迎的Craft Beer Festival手工啤酒节！12个知名酿酒商将於8月25日至8月27日期间带来好酒佐兴，选择自己最爱的风味汉堡，再配杯冰爽啤酒，这样的游园才是大满足！

必「玩」

传统的Alpine Bobs，Crazy Mouse Roller Coaster，Niagara Falls Flume等等自然是每年CNE必备的传统机动游戏，有意思的是今年还是Tilt-A-Whirl的90周年纪念，官网还专门开辟专页为大家介绍了游戏的诞生和发展历史。另外还有专为儿童设计的30个Kiddie Rides，让家中小孩也能感受机动游戏的欢乐！

传统的热门项目之外，最推荐这几年新推出的Sky Ride，嘉年华总是人山人海的场景，想要躲开地面上熙熙攘攘的人群，那就选择飞到天上吧！入夜後在空中俯瞰市中心夜景和开心游园的数千名游客，才算没有白来一趟！

必「看」

虽说各种美食和机动游戏是CNE的最大卖点，但入场就可以免费看的各种有趣表演也是这里的特色项目！今年除了有已有31年历史的CNE?Rising Star青少年新星才艺比赛、有趣的MZ Laser激光表演，还有展示攀爬跑跳穿行各种高难度障碍物的超水准跑酷比赛——RUSH: Parkour Competitive Demonstrations！

多伦多知名跑酷健身中心Monkey Vault的专业选手，在布满各式障碍物的赛场里高速的弹跳穿行，没有任何游戏规则之余，最恐怖是也没有任何安全网等保护设施！今年观众还能直接投票决定优胜者，如此精彩的表演，哪有不入场膜拜的道理？

必「逛」

作为加拿大国家展览中心主办的年度热门活动，每年的CNE会场内除了主打吃喝玩乐和精彩表演，还有遍布会场的不同特色购物摊位！从各式本地手工制品、艺术品、珠宝饰品、皮革制品、家装饰品、衣服，到各式礼品、时尚配饰、美妆产品、书和DVD，甚至厨具、家具和户外按摩浴缸，都可以在这里买到，还有加拿大主要零售商提供的折扣商品市场Warehouse Outlets，绝对能让你满载而归！
