Need a kid-friendly place to visit with the littles in Toronto?

Look no further, I’ve got a handful that both you and your children both big and small will love. It’s not always easy finding places to spend the day when you have little ones. I always make sure that there is a washroom especially for the potty trainers, a spot where we can relax and enjoy a meal, make sure it has some shaded areas etc. You know what your family needs so be sure to choose places that have the conveniences that is best for you. It’s important that the kids are having a good time because if they’re not, you would’ve wished you stayed home so take it from someone who has experience this, visit places that suits your kids.

Toronto has a lot of kid-friendly places however I wanted to narrow it down to the must visits.

 

HERE ARE SOME KID-FRIENDLY PLACES TO VISIT IN TORONTO

 

Toronto Zoo 

The Toronto Zoo is a zoo located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Encompassing 287 hectares, the Toronto Zoo is the largest zoo in Canada. It is divided into seven zoogeographic regions: Indo-Malaya, Africa, Americas, Tundra Trek, Australasia, Eurasia, and the Canadian Domain. Some animals are displayed indoors in pavilions and outdoors in what would be their naturalistic environments, with viewing at many levels. It also has areas such as the Kids Zoo, Waterside Theatre, and Splash Island. It has one of the most taxonomically diverse collection of animals on display of any zoo; it is currently home to over 5,000 animals representing over 500 species. The zoo is open to the public every day of the year except December 25. We will be making our annual this year, thanks to Covid, it will be a drive thru but I know the Toronto Zoo will not disappoint. 

 

Ontario Science Center 

The Ontario Science Centre, formally the Centennial Museum of Science and Technology, is a science museum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, near the Don Valley Parkway. There is so much fun, educational content for the entire family. The science centre has hundreds of interactive and passive permanent exhibits, featuring  geology, the science of nature, astronomical science, how to play music, human anatomy and some lots of science artifacts.

Centreville Amusement Park

Canada’s Wonderland

Canada’s Wonderland is a 134-hectare theme park located in Vaughan, Ontario. As a seasonal park, Canada’s Wonderland is open daily from May to Labour Day, with weekend openings in late April and after Labour Day until the end of October. There are special events throughout the season, including various food festivals, as well as “Celebration Canada”, a month-long Canada Day festival, among others. The park holds Halloween Haunt, a Halloween-themed event, each autumn until the last weekend of October at midnight. Beginning in 2019, the park launched WinterFest, a holiday-themed event that would extend the park’s operating season to late December.

We get family passes every single year because that is where you can find us on most weekends. It’s heaven for both the kids and adults.

Reptilia Vaughan

Reptilia is Canada’s largest indoor reptile zoo, with 25,000 square feet of indoor exhibits featuring over 250 reptiles, amphibians and arachnids. If you littles are big fans, then be sure to visit.

My son was about four years old when we visited and he really enjoyed it. Of course, you will have to stop at the gift shop as well. 🙂

 

Wet’N’Wild Toronto 

Wet’n’Wild Toronto is a water park in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, a city in the Greater Toronto Area. Opened in 1986, the 100-acre complex hosts a variety of attractions, including numerous water slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, a four lane zip-line and two kid’s splash areas.

Perfect place to spend the day with the little ones. There is so much for them to do.
