It can be tough coming up with new ideas for a
fun family day in Toronto. There’s no shortage of great places to take the
kids, and here’s a list to get you started in the right direction:
#1: Toronto Zoo
If you live near Toronto you’ll want to visit the
Toronto Zoo at some point. It’s filled with animals that adults and children
alike will get giddy over. It’s always a fun time, and it’s all about the
family bonding. The giant pandas are billed as the main attraction, but don’t
miss the rhinos, hippos, and gorillas too!
#2: Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada
Ripley’s Aquarium is another great natural
wonder type of place to bring the kiddos. Featuring tunnels you can walk
through while you’re surrounded by fish and other marine life, it’s a
mesmerizing experience for kids of all ages. Located right downtown next to
Rogers Centre, this is one fun thing you don’t want to miss when the family
visits Toronto.
#3: High Park
High Park is sure to become your standby when
the weather is nice and you’re looking for a place to spend the afternoon relaxing and
taking in beautiful surroundings. Kids will love the big wooden playspace while
adults will enjoy seeing the cherry blossoms in the spring. The grounds are
kept in impeccable condition, providing good feelings for everyone.
#4: Canada’s Wonderland
For the hot days of summer go chill out at
Canada’s Wonderland, it has water park rides as well as a ton of roller
coasters, so you’re never short on something new to try. The best strategy is
to do all of the water rides first, and then get dried off and go do the
coasters, or the other way around. Billed as Canada’s premier amusement park,
you’ll win the day when you bring the family here.
#5: Ontario Science Center
Immerse yourself in the fun of science and
watch the hours fly by. Science comes to life in your hands as you get to
experience some natural phenomena in ways you wouldn’t have imagined. It’s not
just for kids, as most of us adults have forgotten everything we learned in our
science classes and get a chance to rediscover it all anew.
#6: The CN Tower
You just can’t beat a trip to the CN Tower when you’re in the mood
for something touristy right in the heart of downtown Toronto. Every panning
shot of the Toronto skyline features the tower, so kids will always be reminded
of the time they went. The view is great, and there’s plenty more to see
downtown so you can make a day of it.
#7: Blue Jays Game
Rogers Centre provides the perfect backdrop to
the action on the baseball diamond, and few things compare to this open air,
summertime downtown experience. With over 80 home games a year there’s tons of
opportunities to catch a game, and maybe even a foul ball.
