Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Toronto

"Just down the road from the Gooderham is St. Lawrence Market, which has been a fixture in Toronto for over two centuries. Every week, more than 120 vendors set up shop, and their colourful displays bursting with the likes of organic produce, fresh-baked goods, homemade jam and Canadian cheeses are photo heaven."

"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."

"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."

"Now I know I mentioned that you cannot go to Toronto and not get a picture with the CN Tower. But Nathan Phillips Square is another perfect location to get that typical Toronto picture. Whether you visit in the summer or winter there is plenty of opportunity for you – whether you are with the iconic Toronto sign or skating around with City Hall in the background."

"Pull on some skates and go ice skating at Nathan Phillips Square. If you’re not an ice skater, hang around the square to lap up the winter wonderland atmosphere while you watch the skaters glide across the ice."

"Just north of Highway 7 and Weston Road, is a hidden gem of a park that is packed with features that is perfect for kids and also many different walkways. This is just the beginning though as there's a trail known as Jersey Creek. Linking Jersey Creek Park with Chancellor District Park, and Giovanni Caboto Park, you'll be able to stroll through a large part of the local neighbourhood and enjoy a comfortable linear walk."

"Spadina House is an upper-class historic home, built by businessman James Austin in 1866. An ideal place to visit in the summer, the six-acre grounds have Victorian and Edwardian gardens. From chestnut trees to forget-me-nots, it is an understated place to frolic."

"While it’s well known for its off-leash dog area, Concord Thornhill Regional Park has a little bit of something for everyone. Its trails, ponds, and gardens make this a great place for nature lovers, while the playground is perfect if you have little ones. That said, one of the best things about this charming park is a recent addition."

"Red Lobster is known as the foremost expert in fresh seafood. Our commitment to serving quality seafood starts long before you sit down at our restaurant."

"The longest-running show of Toronto is considered the lousy dog theatre show where comedians are on a professional level, and home-in programs occurred. Almost 30years, this club train their comedian and specialized art of unscripted and unpremeditated performances held at the spot by any age of the person—the theatre train for excellent and affordable concerts and comedy. As theatres are small in size, but the laughter is enormous there."

"They have workshops for all levels of skill and confidence, whether you’ve never stood in front of a mic before or you’re fine-tuning a skill years in the making. The main focus at all classes is just having fun, so you’ll never feel put on the spot or pressured to step hugely out of your comfort zone. The biggest benefit of taking classes here is the history: Bad Dog is home to the longest continuously running improv show in Toronto."

Well-known for featuring comedy performances for more than 35 years, Bad Dog Theater Company is an award-winning comedy club in Toronto.

"TIFF Bell Lightbox is not only the headquarters of the annual Toronto International Film Festival, but it’s also the city’s premier movie theater and entertainment complex, open to the public. Built in 2010, the modern facilities include five state-of-the-art cinemas, a restaurant, classrooms, a film reference library, gallery space, and a members’ lounge. Outside of the 10-day festival in September, TIFF Bell Lightbox screens new releases and runs thematic film programming year-round, focusing on anything from classic blockbusters to foreign indie films."

"The TIFF Lightbox is one of those places that helps to solve the conundrum "I'm bored!" without turning to your Smartphone. This building is set up to allow you to watch all of the film festival favorites, as well as the fantastic films that slip under the radar when the next Avengers movie dominates the box office. There are snacks (guacamole instead of popcorn should become a thing everywhere) and they do not frown at people who see wine as a perfectly viable concession snack."

"The TIFF Bell Lightbox is a cultural centre and also the headquarters of the much-awaited Toronto International Film Festival. Your nightlife in Toronto gets too glam if you happen to time it right, when the festival is on!. However, when around the year TIFF Bell Lightbox is where film lovers, makers and event planners meet."
