Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Orangeville

"If the Distillery District is a time capsule to 19th-century industrial Toronto, this open-air heritage museum is a snapshot of rural life in that same era. About 19mi (30km) north of the city center and an even longer trip back in time, Black Creek Pioneer Village recreates life in 1867 with restored homes, stores, farms, churches and schools, plus a dedicated crew of costumed villagers. At 15 Canadian dollars ($11.44) for adults and 11 dollars ($8.39) for children, it’s the cheapest ticket to a time machine."

"Step into another world in the 19th century by visiting Black Creek Pioneer Village. This heritage museum is a welcome alternative to screaming at the kids "Get some fresh air!" You can collectively breathe in a simpler time. There are 35 restored buildings from the 1860s, showcasing dying arts such as milling, quilting and hearth cooking."

"Time machines might not yet be part of our world, but you can experience a bygone era of Canada when you come to Black Creek Pioneer Village. This is a museum that puts you in the shoes of someone living in the 19th century. You can really get a sense of what people did to get by during these rougher times."

"Located within the headwaters of the Don and Humber Rivers, this is a great park to get back to nature without having to go that far as it's south of Rutherford Road. Key highlights include a steep-sided Humber River Valley and big hill that gives you gorgeous view points of the Humber River. The park is great for picnics with quite a number of areas to set up which makes it great for families."

"If you’ve never been to Boyd Conservation Centre, you’re missing out. This Woodbridge nature preserve, which is chock full of mature trees, is nothing short of majestic. It’s also a local favourite for family get-togethers, thanks to its many picnic and BBQ sites."

"At first this might seem like an inconspicuous neighbourhood park but this is one of those hidden gems that is a gateway to so much more. Located in Kleinburg and right by Islington Avenue, this is first-and-foremost a great family park packed with features such as large open fields, baseball diamond, soccer field, and tennis courts. That's just the tip of the iceberg as the park also is the start of a trail system called the William Granger Greenway that is well-maintained and follows a tumbling stream with plenty of green foliage."

"Kleinburg is home to the Binder Twine Festival, held yearly in the month of September. The tradition of the Binder Twine Festival originated with Charles Shaw Jr. who, in the 1890′s, began the distribution of binder twine to the local farmers. Binder twine was used to tie together sheaves of wheat."

"Marita Payne Park is one of those outdoor spaces that truly has it all. From the baseball diamonds to the tennis courts to the playground, there’s something for every member of the family at this beloved Vaughan green space. There’s also a 2.5-kilometre walk that passes through the park."

"Between Highway 407 and Dufferin is another outdoor oasis that I'm sure you've passed by many times without noticing. There are numerous linear and loop walking trails that take you around ponds, bridges, and creek. You also have the option of visiting the Glen Shields Park."

"Wrapped around two scenic ponds and 4 Vaughan parks including Vellore Hall Park is the Vellore neighbourhood walk. This is one of those walks that isn't an obvious path but you can easily start at Vellore Hall Park, through the woodlot, head up and around the dual ponds, make your way over to Starling Park, up to Hawstone Park before coming back around down through Matthew Park. What you'll appreciate about this hike is that you'll be able to cross through a dynamic range of scenery that goes from domesticated neighbourhood paths to forested nature."

"This is an awesome neighbourhood walk in Woodbridge just north of Highway 7. Flanked by open green spaces, benches, and tall trees, you'll love the meandering paved walkway and the flowing creek. The walk is easy with minimal inclines and great at all times in the day as it is well-lit as well."

"Located in a grungy warehouse in the Junction, 3030 Dundas West is a throwback to the 1990s. In a space characterized by exposed brick and excellent acoustics, diners can play board games, pinball machines, or sit back with a couple of share plates and watch VHS tapes on old school TV sets. Known for having one of the best trivia nights in Toronto, the restaurant regularly hosts special events, movie nights, live music, and is frequently rented out as an event space."

"Restaurant 3030 Dundas West is a hotbed of culture in the ever-more-happening Junction. The cavernous space is a bit of everything: a bar, restaurant, art gallery and concert hall rolled into one. Paintings from local artists —  like cool cat Nick Sweetman — oversee patrons downing local brews and tucking into eats before heading to"

"They’re not located in a “trendy” neighbourhood, and you won’t find any reclaimed barnboard or ­taxidermy in the taproom, but Etobicoke’s Great Lakes Brewery has been making the good stuff since 1987—when some of today’s most dedicated craft beer drinkers were nursing a whole different kind of bottle. Owner Peter Bulut Jr. and brewer Mike Lackey are still at it today, and their Canuck pale ale is as good as it gets around here. Pay a visit to their sweet new patio and treat yourself to a pre- or post-Costco-trip pint."

"As one of the GTA’s oldest craft brewers, this two-time Canadian Brewery of the Year has been putting out consistently excellent beers for going on three decades now. GLB refuses to simply rest on their laurels though, putting out innovative new limited releases as part of their ongoing Tank Ten project. Try: Any of the latest Tank Ten offerings, or their classic Canuck Pale Ale."
