Scotiabank Arena

Welcome to Jurassic Park. Scotiabank Arena (formerly Air Canada Centre) is Canada’s basketball cathedral, where Raptors fans made the world pay attention during their wild 2019 title run. The place explodes with energy, and the outside plaza—forever dubbed “Jurassic Park”—has become iconic for those playoff watch parties that looked like entire provinces showed up. Inside, it’s sleek and modern, with hockey sharing the stage, but basketball finally stole the spotlight. If you ever doubted Toronto was a hoops town, one visit here will cure you—just don’t mention Kawhi leaving unless you want to reopen national wounds.
