Best Museums in Brampton

"One of the coolest parts of Toronto is the Ontario Science Centre. Located near downtown Toronto, this museum has been an integral part of the city when it comes to explaining the wonders of science to children. A family day at the Ontario Science Centre can be your children’s gateway into all sorts of fascinating subjects."

"As its name betrays, the Ontario Science Centre is a science museum that opened its doors to the public in 1969. Being inside the museum is such a thrill. You can wander through a live rainforest learning about tropical vegetation as you admire waterfalls."

"The McMichael Canadian Art Collection offers its visitors a unique and truly Canadian experience. From the art within its walls, to the surrounding landscape, the McMichael Gallery is the perfect gallery for a proper introduction to Canada’s art, its people, their cultures and history. The McMichael Gallery’s permanent collection consists of nearly 6,000 pieces of art created by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, their contemporaries, and First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other artists who have made a contribution to the development of Canadian art."

"Admittedly, this museum is not directly in Toronto, but rather the village of Kleinburg. Here is what justifies the drive 40 minutes north of Toronto: it is situated in a beautiful woodland setting that will rival any outdoors oriented photo. It also is filled to the brim with a magnificent collection of Canadian and native art."

"You’ll need to head out of town to visit, so make it a day trip. The gallery has an extensive collection of Canadian painters, including the very famous Group of Seven. Visit earlier in the morning or after 2 pm as the gallery can be full of school groups at midday."

"Explore the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and see some of the 80,000 works of art that are stored inside!. It’s a place that’s filled with some of the best and most recognised artists from across the world."

"This hidden treasure on Brimley Road might be one of the best insights into how early settlers lived when they arrived in Scarborough, before it became on the biggest suburbs in the 20th century. Set off a series of trails and greenery of the Thomson Memorial Park, this series of four buildings is especially beautiful in the summertime."

"The David Dunlap Observatory is a heritage site in Richmond Hill, and it’s definitely worthy of being on your Instagram feed. The building is really unique with its spherical roof and bright blue door, and it’s also a great spot to go star-gazing for some cool shots!. LOCATION:225 East Beaver Creek Road, Richmond Hill, ON | Website"

"It is quite another to feel more connected with the universe. Just a 30-minute drive out of Toronto offers you access to a world beyond the city. The David Dunlap Observatory is a large astronomical observatory managed by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada."

"Not only is there a dedicated weekend brunch menu, but they run a wine bottle & food shop and can help you put together a perfect picnic basket of bread, cheese, cured meats, etc. for brunch on the road. What to order: Go classic with their eggs Benedict, omelettes, or a Croque Monsieur (or Madame)."

"This restaurant is proud to serve classic French cuisine by creating authentic fresh dishes. All their sauces are made in-house with a veal-based stock. Everything comes in great portion sizes."

"CRAFT Beer Market is one of the best places in Toronto to grab a pint, but since we can’t really go out and do that right now, the next best thing is to order some takeout or delivery. If you’re into classic game day and bar eats, CRAFT’s game day combos are perfect for you. It’s all pizza, nachos, and wings galore!"

"Heaters placed above a spacious seating area send ambient warmth beating down over a large garden at this Financial District bar where you can embrace fall Oktoberfest vibes with a flight of beers."

"The atmosphere: There’s something about ordering sushi on a screen, waiting and then seeing it zoom down a laneway and land tableside, that brings out the kid in everyone. Younger sis to downtown’s respected Miku—a popular Vancouver transplant—this sushi is kinda the opposite of AYCE conveyor belt sushi, ensuring all bites are super fresh and haven’t done a few laps around the track. The sushi: Miku made a name for itself with its blowtorched sushi and thankfully they’ve carried this over to Tora."

"The sister restaurant to Miku and also home to the aburi sushi. Tora offers signature pressed and flame seared sushi, along with different sushi sets. Available for delivery via Uber Eats."

"It’s easily overshadowed by the surge of third-wave coffee shops that have taken over Toronto in the past decade, but this Bloor West Village mainstay has been roasting beans and pouring coffee since 1988. All the while, Millionaire’s Mixture has remained its signature blend. It’s a deep, dark roast that fully caramelizes the beans’ sugars without veering into the all-too-familiar scorched-earth territory."
