Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in York

"Opened in 1845, St Lawrence Market has been part of the city's fabric for almost 175 years. It's a foodies' paradise, with more than 120 vendors selling fresh produce, meats, cheeses and all manner of prepared foods at South Market. Come here to poke around and to graze."

"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 most famous ice cream sandwich can be found at Bang Bang on Ossington Avenue. The now iconic ice cream sandwich shop in Toronto opened its doors in 2014. Local foodies quickly caught wind and queues begun snaking down the street at the first whiff of warm weather (and during cooler temps too, if we’re honest)."

"There is something remarkably brave about opening an ice cream shop in Canada, of all places. Although our snow days are shrinking as the earth heats up, we are not exactly ice cream friendly for much of the year. Bang Bang Ice Cream is working to change that."

"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."

"Next we have the quaint Beverly Rooftop which features Mexican eats on a small rooftop. This is a lesser known spot but is a great spot to hit if you’re looking to sip on cocktails during the day and enjoy Tacos on the side. This spot has a nice ambiance with a nice view of the CN Tower, despite its small size."

"Situated on Trinity Square, the Anglican church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1847 by Henry Bowyer Lane in a neo-gothic style. Its floor plan was designed in the shape of a Latin cross, an oft-repeated motif in church design. Holy Trinity includes some unique curiosities like the twin octagonal towers, which were once used as a navigational beacon."

"If you’re a fan of natural locations, Scarborough Bluffs should be at the top of your list for a romantic photoshoot. Whether it is a save the date, engagement or wedding photoshoot, the glittering lake and the distant view of the iconic Toronto skyline will make your photos memorable and extraordinary. You can also pack a picnic and have a picnic-themed photoshoot with your partner and add a domestic element to your photos."

"Take a bus towards Cliffside and hike through Scarborough Bluffs Park. The park northeast of central Toronto is famous for its crystal clear waters and bright white cliffs overlooking it!"

"Experiment with different gelato flavours like the Boozy Tiramisu, Bourbon and Smoked Chocolate, Ricotta Rosemary Lemon, Saffron Vanilla, Strawberry, Thai Basil and Junip, or White Truffle & Maple & Sage."

"Chemical engineer turned gelato magician, Kaya Ogruce whips up flavour combos you could only dream of. They’re often wild, but they work!"

"Unique options include mustard, boozy pear and walnut, pina colada and the Chopped Canada winning flavour – ricotta, rosemary and lemon."

"Bird lovers flock to Sunnybrook Park to admire the several species that call the green space home. The space, just north of Leaside, is huge (154 hectares!) and boasts many bike and hiking trails. Feel free to bring your pooches along: there is an off-leash dog area on premise as well."

"Located north of Leaside and south of Bridle Path, Sunnybrook Park is one of the large parks of Toronto. It hasbiking trails and hiking trails, and Sunnybrook Stables, to spend quality time with your loved ones. Wholly, the parkland spreads across 60 hectares."

"Why You Need To Go: You'll find plenty of wide-open green spaces in this large Toronto park. It's a perfect picnic area, just watch those peak times!"

"One thing we love about this Church Street institution, which sprawls over three floors, is that despite its ample space, it still manages to feel cozy—the vintage rugs, exposed brick, and wrought-iron details help sustain the familiar feeling. And all this room makes it a popular stop for groups with an appetite. They come in droves for the restaurant's bistro-style food, like croque monsieurs with aged cheddar and leek fondue, or pistachio waffles with crème anglaise, so make sure you make a reservation through the website to avoid sulking by the hostess stand."

"Smith takes up all three beautifully designed floors and the patio of a sweet townhouse in the Village. Come for a boozy brunch with a whole drinks menu dedicated for that special meal, or simply to relax and indulge in some staples. On top of it all: they take reservations for the weekend, so there’s no hour-long wait for eggs!"

"Smith is a gorgeous French restaurant that’s popular for their brunch, as well as their adorable patio. With brick walls and hanging lights, their patio is super cute and Instagram-worthy. They’re only open on weekends at the moment, so definitely reserve ahead of time if you want to get a table!"
