| Greater Toronto offers year-round excitement for children and adults alike. With a breathtaking variety of family attractions and activities suitable for all ages, Toronto is a family-friendly travel destination that can make for a fun-filled family holiday any time of year.
A larger-than-life Toronto family attraction, Canada’s Wonderland, promises thrills galore with its 200 rides and attractions, including Splash Works water park and the largest and faster roller coaster in Canada. Other Toronto theme parks and amusement centers include Centreville Amusement Park, Ontario Place and NASCAR SpeedPark.
For the family that lives and breathes sports, Toronto is an unbeatable place for a family vacation. The home of the Hockey Hall of Fame, Toronto offers a year-round lineup of professional and amateur sporting events, including Toronto Maple Leafs NHL hockey, Toronto Blue Jays MLB baseball, Toronto Raptors NBA basketball and Toronto Football Club soccer.
More than one Toronto attraction is as inspiring as it is educational. The world-famous Royal Ontario Museum invites visitors to explore world culture and natural history, while the Ontario Science Centre is an interactive science museum with the only IMAX dome theatre in Ontario. Toronto is also home to one of the top art museums in North America, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the world’s tallest building, the CN Tower, an unforgettable part of the Toronto skyline.
Toronto’s outdoor attractions include Riverdale Farm, the only farm remaining in Toronto, and Black Creek Pioneer Village, a living history museum. Outdoor enthusiasts may enjoy a variety of recreational activities, such as cycling or walking, at the always-popular High Park, The Beaches and Toronto Islands, a 10-minute ferry ride from mainland Toronto. Each winter, Nathan Philips Square turns into an outdoor ice skating rink.
Toronto shopping centres and retail outlets can be just as entertaining as any Toronto family attraction. Take a look at The Little Dollhouse Company, Canada’s largest dollhouse and miniature store; The Toy Shop, the oldest Toronto toy store; the Toy Addict, which specializes in action figures and collectibles; or EfstonScience: The Science and Astronomy Superstore. Or visit Toronto Eaton Centre, Toronto’s most popular shopping destination.
