Things To Do
Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is about 2hr 40min drive from the farm. If you have never been to the Canadian side of Niagara it is something you HAVE to see!
CN Tower
The CN Tower is the second-highest free-standing building in the world. On a clear day, you get a beautiful view of the city.
Ripley's Aquarium of Canada
It's an aquarium, in Canada, what more do I have to say?
Toronto Zoo
A MASSIVE zoo that is an absolutely amazing time to explore!
Algonquin Park
Where we got ENGAGED! Go visit the beautiful forests and lakes that we call our most heartfelt place. You might even see a moose! You can even camp/ rent cabins if you reserve far enough in advance. It is a drive, but worth a day trip for the views!
Rogers Centre
Ya like baseball? Go catch a game at the massive Toronto Blue Jays stadium! Tickets are pretty cheap and there's not a bad seat in the place!
Royal Ontario Museum
We went here, spent almost an entire day, and STILL did not see even half of the museum! As a person who has been in her fair share of museums, this one is by far my favorite!
Canada's Wonderland
Rollercoasters? You got it! Located in Vaughan, just north of Toronto, the amusement park features more than 200 attractions including 18 roller coasters, two children's areas, and Splash Works, the 20-acre water park. Not to mention plenty of shows!
Hockey Hall of Fame
You like Hockey? They just redid this amazing museum in the birthplace of hockey! Right near Union Station, this is an easy place to go using Canada's GO train!
Art Gallery of Ontario
Artsie Fartsie stuff for you? Go check out the newest exhibition happening at the AGO!
Toronto Music Garden
Not only is it a beautiful garden, in the summer you might just catch a live performance or two happening!
Harbourfront Centre
Gorgeous day to be near the ocean... I mean massive lake! This nonprofit organization in a 10-acre waterfront district puts on more than 4,000 cultural events each year.
Casa Loma
Canada might not be known for its castles, but Toronto is home to an unusual one that has become a beloved tourist attraction. Casa Loma is a 98-room château built by Canadian businessman Sir Henry Mill Pellatt in 1914. Casa Loma now serves as a museum and a popular filming location, most notably serving as Professor Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngers in X-Men. Do the self-guided tour!
St. Lawrence Market
Shopping? Don't mind if I do! It’s one of the world’s great markets – each merchant a square on a lively and authentic patchquilt. The mothers, sons, fathers and daughters whose hard work and passion for food and their craft make up the collective story of the Market.
Kensington Market
Kensington Market is not actually a market, but a food-centric neighborhood in downtown Toronto. While the city at large is known for its diverse population, there’s perhaps no better place to witness that multiculturalism in such a concentrated area than here. Beyond all the food, there are also vintage shops, independent boutiques, and artists’ studios tucked into Victorian-style houses all throughout the neighborhood. Whatever type of food you’re in the mood for, from Ethiopian to Vietnamese to Jamaican, there’s probably a restaurant, grocery store, or hole-in-the-wall for it. We LOVE coming here!
High Park Zoo
Toronto’s largest public park has 400 acres that range from manicured lawns to themed gardens to untouched nature. In addition to the greenery, there are a number of interactive activities, including a zoo, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, ice skating rinks (or frozen ponds in winter), a dog run, and playgrounds.
Toronto Islands
The Toronto Islands, located just offshore from downtown Toronto, are an 820-acre car-free haven. While 600 people live on the islands, the majority of visitors are day-trippers who come to enjoy the beaches, parks, gardens, yacht clubs, cafés, and a small amusement park for children. Seasonal activities include kayaking, picnicking, barbecuing, and outdoor yoga classes.
Distillery District
A collection of 47 19th-century buildings that once comprised the Gooderham & Worts Distillery is now a major dining, shopping, and cultural hub. Strolling through the neighborhood’s brick-paved pedestrian streets, visitors might feel as if they’ve been transported to Victorian-era Canada. And while there are still breweries and distilleries here (including the Spirit of York Distillery and the Mill St. Brew Pub), there are also restaurants, local-owned boutiques, and art galleries.
Port Perry
Our go-to place every year we are in town! Only a short drive from the farm and you HAVE TO GO TO THE NUTTY CHOCOLATIER! Escape to Downtown Port Perry with its incredible mix of boutique shops, fine dining, and art galleries — and don’t forget the old-fashioned chocolate shop and award-winning brewery. All of this is surrounded by a stunning historic landscape.
Great Blue Heron Casino & Hotel
Like to gamble? Test your luck at the Great Blue Heron Casino! You can even stay here as it doubles as a hotel!
Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
Whether you come for the day or the weekend, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at this automotive playground, located an hour east of Toronto. Our 900+ acres offer a mix of beautiful parkland, open fields, and great vantage points around the 3.957 km road course, where you can explore and see the racing action up close. Away from the paddock, you’ll find a number of walking trails and great riding areas for the kids to enjoy their mountain bikes, as well as playgrounds located near the full-service restrooms and shower facilities.
