Parks & Nature

If there's one place you must go while staying in Toronto, it's the Islands. Centre Island has a children's theme park in the summer, but there are also great walks, bicycle rides (bring your own or rent) and cafes, not to mention amazing views of the city. It's a short ferry ride from downtown.
