Explore the Canadian province of Ontario and you'll find Toronto, Canada's biggest city, and Ottawa, the nation's capital. The province offers a wide range of rural and urban attractions, as well as golfing at world-class courses like the Don Valley Golf Course in Toronto and the Highland Country Club in London. The fun doesn't stop when the sun dips below the horizon. Experience the nightlife at some of Ontario's nightclubs for an evening of music, dancing and drinks.
The Guvernment
The Guvernment is perched on Toronto's waterfront, just steps from downtown attractions like the Novotel Toronto Centre, and offers scenic views of Lake Ontario. Inside, you'll find 22,000 square feet of dance floor--lit with dozens of multi-colored strobe lights--and bars, which makes it one of the biggest nightclubs in Toronto. On Toronto's hot summer nights, enjoy the club's two outdoor patios. The Guvernment is open on Fridays and Saturdays with special events throughout the week, and the club's DJs play a wide range of music with a focus on hip-hop and top 40 tracks.

Zaphod Beeblebrox
Zaphod Beeblebrox bills itself as a nightclub "on the edge of the universe," but is really on the edge of Ottawa's ByWard Market, the city's main nightlife district. The club offers a wide range of custom galactic-themed drinks that glow eerily under the nightclub's black lights, as well as your favorite cocktails and Canadian beers. Relax in a lounge area replete with plush couches to catch a breath before returning to the dance floor on the opposite side of the club, where you'll enjoy DJs spinning indie tracks and remixes of top 40 hits.

Club Mansion London
Club Mansion, found in the heart of London, calls itself the city's "most unique nightclub." Its decor stands out from most nightlife venues thanks to styling chosen to mimic the extravagance found in historic Victorian mansions. Examples include burgundy velvet couches in its 12,000-square-foot lounge, large framed mirrors hanging on the walls and a dark hardwood-paneled bar area. But the music is strictly modern, featuring a mix of electronica and R&B. Explore the club's mezzanine, accessible via elevator, for a bird's-eye view of the dance floor.
