Me!
But really, the rom, casa Loma, and eat lots of food. If the raptors make it to playoffs, it's always a fun atmosphere in the city. Cn tower as well. I'd also go to the AGO, and make it to the distillery district and Kensington market. The islands are great as well but who knows what the weather will be like at that time! If you're gonna be here for a bit, I'd recommend going to Montreal as well because I love Montreal.
As for food, if you want, I have great recommendations!

I was there in July, Thursday from Sunday and I didn't think that was long enough. We did take a whole day to go to Niagara Falls which shortened our time in Toronto.
I really enjoyed the ROM, CN Tower (we went around 6pm, saw the view in the daytime, had drinks in restaurant until it was dark and then saw the view in the dark- it was awesome!), Casa Loma, the zoo (my friend was dying to go, but I would have passed. It's pretty far away and nothing special). Kensington Market was fun and had some awesome food there. Bata Shoe Museum was fun, cheap and a good way to spend and hour or two.
I wouldn't recommend the Science Center unless you have kids.
We took the Greyhound to Niagara and had less then a successful trip. It turned out to be a holiday and the roads were jammed. After 3 hours to get there the crowds at the Falls were out of control. Maid of the Mist took 3.5 hours to do and we didn't have time to do anything else. We spent 50 bucks a person to eat in a hotel that had a fantastic view of the falls and then went back to Toronto. I'm glad we went to see the Falls, but wish the crowds had been less.

Since you were there in July, I'm guessing you were there over Canada Day weekend. If that was the case, that's probably "the" busiest day/weekend of the year for Niagara Falls.
OP, in May you have Victoria Day on the 23rd, which would make for high crowds in Niagara Falls as well (as would the U.S. holiday Memorial Day on the 30th, but my guess is that would be a bit less busy).
