10Best Says

Open from May to September, visiting the Toronto Islands is a must for a sunny day. Pack a picnic and an empty water bottle to fill up at one of the many fountains around the island. Once you take the ferry to Centre Island, play some frisbee or rent bikes (tandem bikes are available for families that like to embrace their inner nerds). There is mini golf on the island, but most people choose to bring their favourite ball of choice to blow off some steam. Small children will love Centreville, which has a mini zoo, pony rides and lots of rides, even for those who have not hit the usual height requirement. Under four and a half feet? No problem here!

Things to Do with Kids: "There is limited food and drink on Centre Island for a high price tag. Bring your own picnic, and consider bringing some meat in a cooler to cook on one of the island's BBQ stands."

Best for Things to Do with Kids Because: Centre Island is one of the best places to go on a summer day to show your kids the joy of popsicles and flume rides.
