Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Oshawa

"St. Lawrence Market is perhaps the most famous market in Toronto, and locals regularly shop its stalls for produce, meats, cheeses, and more. While the focus of your trip should be browsing the dozens of food stalls, it’s interesting to take a look at the architecture of the St. Lawrence Market, too. Though the current main building was erected in 1902, part of the Old City Hall, which dates to 1845, was incorporated into it."

"If you want to take pictures in a place that shows the more classic side of Toronto, pay a visit to St. Lawrence Market. Its stone archways, limestone structures and floral displays are definitely an excellent backdrop for a stylish city shoot. It’s a great place to take pictures for your photography portfolio, modelling gigs or engagement."

"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 120 specialty food stalls and shops: cheese... Top ChoiceTower in Entertainment & Financial Districts"

"23 It just wouldn’t be summer without spending an hour in line for a treat at Bang Bang, Ossington’s perennially popular (but even more so in the warmer months) ice cream shop. The staff stays busy stuffing scoops in flavours like banana pudding, matcha-jasmine-soba and lychee rosewater, between and inside all kinds of cone substitutes: chewy cookies, sticky cinnamon buns, choux pastry puffs and our favourite, Hong Kong egg waffles. The bubbly vessel is just as much fun to eat as it is tasty."

"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."

"Located on Ossington between Queen and Dundas, this tiny shop opened two years ago and has been garnering rave reviews ever since. The Mango Pudding/Warm Coconut Sticky Rice ice cream is a must-try, and beer nerds will be psyched to see a Bellwood’s stout flavour on the menu. The kiddos will fall in love with the Cinnamon Toast flavour and Campfire Marshmallow."

"Toronto’s City Hall is the main draw here but the revitalization that’s been going on has locals coming back. Just above all the concrete, the City Hall podium roof has turned into a public garden offering solace from the politics below. The permanent theatre stage has live performances during many of the festivals held here and don’t forget to check out the Peace Garden which has relocated to the west side of the square."

"The fore court of the Toronto city hall, with an area of 12 acres is the Canada’s largest city square designed by the Finnish architect Viljo Revell open to the public in 1965, an icon of modernist architecture along with the city hall. Place for art installations, several festivals during the year, ice skating on the square reflecting pool during the winter and a vibrant space in Toronto and worth visiting."

"Start your Toronto visit in the downtown core at Nathan Phillips Square. This public space is a popular gathering place for Torontonians. It is easily recognized by the gigantic Freedom Arches over the reflecting pool and the 3D TORONTO sign. Together with City Hall, they make an iconic landmark in the city worth visiting."

"I grew up around the corner from Richmond Green, so it was never really anywhere special for me. I watched fireworks from my parents’ house during holidays and attended festivals there, but it was just a random park near my house. It was probably when I took my prom photos at Richmond Green that I actually appreciated it for all its beauty!"

"Simple is key at Punto Gelato, so much so that it’s in the name!. Focusing on traditional flavours and all-natural ingredients, the gelato is a winner at this Yorkville shop, offered up in cups or cones. More from Jennifer D'Agostino"

"Choose from a half container (500 grams) and a full bin (1 kg) of classic or specialty flavours, including Hazelnut, Tiramisù, and Stracciatella delivered right to your door."

"This friendly neighbourhood diner has all the essentials of a diner to meet your breakfast and brunch needs. What’s most important is their famous ice-cream sandwiches. These sandwiches are made with Greg’s or Kawartha’s Dairy ice cream, sat pretty between two halves of their famous doughnuts."

"…br />O&B Café Grill, Bayview Village is the first location of Oliver & Bonacini’s casual dining restaurants. Despite its North Toronto location, this large urban space feels very downtown…"

"This super cute patio set is more for aesthetics than eating, and you don’t even have to go inside the restaurant to get this shot. Come dressed in your summer best for the perfect European-esque summer photo opp!. LOCATION: 17 Leader Ln."

"Located in North York, Shops at Don Mills is more of a lifestyle centre than a typical mall. It comprises 72 retail stores over more than 500,000 square feet. Attracting upscale shoppers, its most popular stores include Anthropologie, Oak & Fort, Michael Kors, and well-known food stores and restaurants, such as McEwan’s Gourmet Market and Joey’s."

"A post shared by Brynne K (@momentsofintimacy) on May 2, 2017 at 12:42pm PDT. Enjoy a brief day of shopping through the 44 retailers of the Galleria Shopping Centre. Scope out electronics on the shelves of numerous outlets including Value Mobile and Sat Computers."

"Canvas Gallery was founded by Megan Less and Mark Hunter in Toronto in 2003. Canvas is an inviting, vibrant, and friendly venue for you to develop a personal statement through the brilliance of local and national professional artists, influenced by their passion of art, artists, and a sincere pursuit of happiness. Megan and Mark founded Canvas after working in the film and television business for years and believing that the satisfaction of owning a great work should be available to everyone."

"Considered by many to be one of Toronto’s very first “Done By Community” spaces, Canvas Gallery will bring you north of the downtown core. It fosters professional, underground and grassroots art and cultural events in an effort to “bridge the gap between emerging and professional creatives and drive culture forward for marginalized groups.” The gallery has also hosted pop-ups and magazine launches. End your night at The Stockyards, a local favourite for some down-to-earth, delicious BBQ."

"Sitting in Chinatown, Asian Legend is one Chinese restaurant in Toronto, Canada, that is surely capable of teleporting one to the Republic of China just by the flavors and tastes that they offer. From chicken and duck to greens and an extensive variety of noodles, the Asian Legend has plenty to offer. Apart from plated dishes, Asian Legend also gives travelers and locals an opportunity to fill up their bags with microwave-ready meals, making sure that one doesn’t miss out on something extremely delectable by virtue of time crunch."

"Covered in graffiti, the gritty storefront of Seoul Shakers still bares evidence of the space’s previous tenant, Holy Oak Cafe. The seemingly abandoned facade makes stepping into the dim, neon-lit bar all the more exciting. Wood-panelled and draped in foliage, the room looks like someone’s grandfather discovered Instagram, and perfectly harnessed his kitschy-chic aesthetic."

"People curious to see what Bloordale cafe Holy Oak has turned into are packing this place that’s now an eccentrically decorated Asian snack bar."
