Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Pickering

"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."

"It serves as the place of work for 120 vendors, artisans, and merchants, many of them from families that have been shopping at the market for generations. The market consists of three main buildings. South Market hosts more than 120 shops selling fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, baked goods, dairy products, and much more."

"With over 100 vendors, the St. Lawrence Market offers the best quality foods in all of Toronto. There’s just so much here, so start with some of my personal faves: veal sandwiches at Uno Mustachio, Buster’s Sea Cove for the lobster roll lineup, and the iconic Bacon Sandwiches at the Carousel Bakery."

"The freshly baked cookies, puffs, Big Bang cones stuffed with mouthwatering flavours will have you going back time and time again. Their avocado, London Fog and burnt toffee flaves are my recos, but I truly haven’t had a subpar scoop here. View this post on Instagram"
