Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Oakville

"An icon of the Old Town district since the early 1800s, St Lawrence Market earned the title of the world’s top food market from National Geographic in 2012. And to taste the best of the 120 merchants that converge on this grand old marketplace, you need a little expert advice. For 89 Canadian dollars ($69.38), join your guide on a stroll through a smorgasbord of St Lawrence’s most mouthwatering delicacies, sinking your teeth into everything from Indian candy and Ukrainian pierogi to Toronto’s legendary peameal bacon."

"Old York's sensational St Lawrence Market has been a neighborhood meeting place for over two centuries. The restored, high-trussed 1845 South Market houses more than 50 specialty food stalls: cheese vendors, fishmongers, butchers, bakers and pasta makers. The Carousel Bakery is famed for its peameal bacon sandwiches and St Urbain for its authentic Montréal-style bagels.Inside the old council chambers upstairs, the Market Gallery has rotating displays of paintings, photographs, documents and historical relics."

"Just as day drinking at Trinity Bellwoods (ahem, with 9,000 of your closest friends) is a summer tradition that’s best retired for 2020, it might be a good call to skip Bang Bang’s 30-minute-long lineup, too. Instead, consider ordering in from the Ossington ice cream shop. Go the DIY route and get a six-pack of freshly baked cookies and a pint of just-churned ice cream in flavours like burnt toffee, London fog or peanut butter cup, and assemble your own sweet sandwiches."

"Bang Bang is perfect for satisfying an ice cream sandwich craving. There are countless combinations of flavors from cookie type, including Birthday, Oatmeal and RoCocoa, and ice cream flavors, including Orange Cardamom, Lemon Meringue, London Fog and Burnt Toffee. Try a full sandwich with two cookies for $7 or a half sandwich with one cookie for $4.50."

"What’s more Toronto than shooting Instagram photos by the iconic Toronto sign?. It’s a recent addition to the city, but they definitely kept it up after the Pan Am Games for a reason. You’ll have to visit during quieter hours if you don’t want too many tourists all around it, because it’s pretty much always surrounded by tourists."

"255 & 371 Concession Street Sam Lawrence Park, situated on the Mountain brow at the top of the Jolley Cut, is one of the jewels in Hamilton's park system. Its features include a rock garden with perennial flowers, ornamental benches and lighting, walkways (most of which are accessible), wildflowers and prairie grasses, and an extensive system of interpretive signs. The park also offers spectacular, panoramic views of the lower city and the harbour."

"Sam Lawrence Park offers up the most incredible skyline views of Hamilton, whether you’re visiting during the day or at night. It’s one of my favourite spots to visit in Hamilton – it’s a view you’d never get sick of looking at!. You can park right in front of the viewpoint, then take a little walk around to see the pretty florals and greenery surrounding the park."

"Chocolate raspberry is my personal favourite, but I’ve yet to meet a gelato bar I don’t like from Bar Ape. I still remember spotting their little blue truck at Trinity Bellwoods back in 2014. I fell in love immediately — really, one bite and I was HOOKED."

"Childhood nostalgia meets plant-based baking at this adorable Kensington house, which looks like the kind of place on the block that always had baked goods on the counter — except without a stick of butter or gluten-full flour bag in sight. Everything at Sweet Hart Kitchen is 100 per cent vegan, gluten free and naturally sweetened. Sugar junkies rejoice with seasonal pies, pastries and raw or baked cakes."

"A post shared by Sweet Hart Kitchen (@sweethartkitchen) on May 24, 2020 at 5:25am PDT. Vegan, gluten-free, baked, and unbaked, there’s so much goodness going on at this little sweet shop, it’s ridiculous. Seasonal specials and all-the-time faves are available for preorder online, ready to fill your tummy with deliciousness that, honestly, isn’t even all that unhealthy."

"At Sweet Hart Kitchen you will find amazing baked vegan goods such as raw cakes, cookies, truffles, donuts muffins and more!. There are a ton more Toronto dessert places that are just waiting to be explored!. As you can see this list of the best vegetarian restaurants in Toronto is quite extensive with a variety of options."

"To-Ne Sushi is Chinatown’s popular spot for cheap, but delicious, sushi. Rolls average around $8, with a few topping out at around $12.95-$14.95 (these are meant for splurging), but maki and veggie rolls are more around the $4-$6 range. Sushi nigiri goes for about $4-$6 and sashimi for $5-$6, except for the expensive toro, or tuna belly."
