What to do with Kids in Toronto

Finding playgrounds and places for Louise to walk around would probably work the best.

Scary Mommy has a list of the top 10 things to do in Toronto:
  1. Toronto Zoo, which is very big and involves a lot of walking.  Bring a stroller and walking shoes.  It offers a 50% reciprocal program with the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.
  2. Ontario Science Center.  They offer the reciprocal admissions program with COSI and the Carnegie Science Center so make sure you bring your membership card.
  3. High Park, which offers Sakura viewing (2nd week in May), a zoo, a nature center, a children's playground.  It is off West Bloor Street and is near the lake shore so it might be a nice place to visit.
  4. Canada's Wonderland (an amusement park for older kids)
  5. CN Tower ($34!!).  They have a walk on the edge of it for the foolhardy.
  6. Art Gallery of Toronto
  7. Waterfront: "now includes beautiful boardwalks and piers where you can not only take in the incredible views, but enjoy gardens, the beach, public art installations, and places to eat."
  8. Centreville Theme Park on Centre Island  "a great place to take the smaller kids. It has a lot of rides suitable for younger ages, such as the 1907 antique carousel, mini coasters, teacup-esque rides, mini golf, and paddleboats." ($35.35 for adults).  Might be good when Louise is a little older and maybe goes with her cousins but we can take a ferry to the island and walk around.  Louise might like the boat ride.
  9. Hockey Hall of Fame (Maybe for Peter)
  10. Kensington Market - vintage boutiques, probably for Scary Mommy...
TripSavvy in Best Things to do with Kids in Toronto offers a few additional suggestions:
  1. Royal Ontario Museum ($20 for adults)
  2. Riverdale Farm in Cabbagetown in East Toronto.  This is a working farm replicating early 20th century Ontario farm life with horses, cows, chickens, pigs and goats.  And it is FREE!!  This should be at the top of our list.
  3. Ripley's Aquarium of Canada
