Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Brampton

"Just down the road from the Gooderham is St. Lawrence Market, which has been a fixture in Toronto for over two centuries. Every week, more than 120 vendors set up shop, and their colourful displays bursting with the likes of organic produce, fresh-baked goods, homemade jam and Canadian cheeses are photo heaven."

"Toronto’s City Hall is the main draw here but the revitalization that’s been going on has locals coming back. Just above all the concrete, the City Hall podium roof has turned into a public garden offering solace from the politics below. The permanent theatre stage has live performances during many of the festivals held here and don’t forget to check out the Peace Garden which has relocated to the west side of the square."

"Why You Need To Go: Is it even summer in the 6ix if you didn't stop to pose with the Toronto sign in the square?"

"The playground is based on a medieval theme and your kids can enjoy a day on swings while pretending they are knights in shining armor, running around the theme painted towers. There are many tables, fountains, and benches that are perfect for an afternoon picnic!"

"If you’re fu-going to Fugo, expect to be tempted by unique ice-cream flavours, mini-donuts being made before your eyes, and house-made marshmallow fluff. The dessert place has minimal space but maximum flavour. The staff have always been kind when I’ve been, and it’s a nice place from which to grab a take-out treat, or a box of mini donuts!"

"Came here for their tropical mango+pineapple soft serve, personally I didn't like the texture. It was airy, kinda fluffy like whipped."

"Just east of Toronto’s downtown core you’ll find the St. Lawrence Market. For over 200 years, the St. Lawrence Market has been selling fresh produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, and was named the top food market in the world by National Geographic in 2011. The main building on the south side of Front Street offers a number of photo opportunities, from the architecture of the building to the excitement of a working market on a busy Saturday morning."

"Also known as the Flatiron Building, this slender dude is a gorgeous rich red and green. It’s also known for the mural on the back wall. Double whammy in one skinny package!"

"Next we have the quaint Beverly Rooftop which features Mexican eats on a small rooftop. This is a lesser known spot but is a great spot to hit if you’re looking to sip on cocktails during the day and enjoy Tacos on the side. This spot has a nice ambiance with a nice view of the CN Tower, despite its small size."

"Queen Street stretches right across Toronto, from east to west. Given its length and the fact that the Queen streetcar makes it possible to travel the street's full distance, it makes sense that Queen Street is dotted with neighbourhoods that have their own unique vibe and stores that range from mega-retailers to mom-and-pop shops. The stretch from University Avenue west to Spadina Avenue, known locally as Queen West, was the epitome of cool for shopping and entertainment in the 1980s and 1990s, and is still lined with leading U.S. retailers and great music venues."

"Queen Street West is notably more different than the downtown Toronto shopping districts mentioned previously. It’s a vibrant neighbourhood with a mix of great shops, beautiful art and some of the city’s best restaurants and bars. To paint a picture of this area in case you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting quite yet, in 2014, Vogue named Queen Street West the second-hippest district in the world."

"Queen Street West is certainly where you can get some shopping done!. Located – you guessed it – along Queen Street West west of Yonge Street and extending well past Bathurst Street, Queen Street is also home to many amazing restaurants, hip bars and pubs, and coffee shops. One of our favourite ramen places in on Queen Street West and Lisa misses it dearly from when we used to go for ramen lunch!"

"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."

"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."

"With its checkerboard floors, chalkboard menus and white tablecloths, everything about Le Paradis suggests Parisian bistro. The menu of this restaurant in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood is classic bistro, too. Start with a bowl of Prince Edward Island mussels steamed with white wine, garlic and shallots."

"Brasserie, Bistro, Fine Dining, French, Extensive Wine List, Restaurant With Wifi Internet, Restaurant With Bar. eatery cooks a vegetarian menu for 11$ to 25$. Come experience their casual and upscale atmosphere."

"This restaurant gets its name from the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a holy place for the Muslims, is among the best North Indian and Pakistani restaurants in the Danforth region in Toronto. Though it serves Pakistani and other Indian dishes, this food joint is Bangladeshi owned. This place also features a big portray of Kaba in Mecca, the Muslim holy praying region."

"at Steeles, Giorgio D. Ristorante has been in business for 35 years. This is a testament to the authentic and... Had the grilled seafood platter and it was amazing."

"Baseball is the water of life for many Torontonians, so if you’re stopping in the city, why not go with the flow?. Left Field Brewery brews with intense Blue Jays fervor. It’s dubbed ‘Beer for Champions,’ and each iteration nods to the game."

"Left Field offers various types of beers such as lager, ales, pilsners, and stouts. Its taproom is closed as of now. If you reside anywhere within M4, M5, M6, or M8 postal codes, you qualify for free shipping when placing orders of over $50."

"This Bloordale brewery’s genre-bending wine-beer hybrids taste like pure genius in a glass. Yes, the three-year-old establishment co-owned by Jason Stein and Matthew Park also makes inventive pilsners and saisons and Berliner weisses, which are always available, but it’s the inspired small-batch creations we’re talking about here—like the Ruby, a gorgeous, gem-coloured blend of saisons aged in barrels with sour cherries and cabernet franc skins, and blended with riesling from Ontario’s Pearl Morissette winery. It’s the perfect showcase for the brewery’s terroir-driven approach to beermaking."

"Burdock has a lot going on – it’s a restaurant, a music hall and it also happens to be brewing some of the best beers in the city. Go to catch some live music or sit down to a meal made with local, seasonal ingredients; but stay for the beer (or grab some to go from the bottle shop). Burdock brewed their first batch of beer in July 2015 and have been going strong ever since."

"A post shared by Burdock Brewery (@burdockbrewery) on Dec 5, 2015 at 11:23am PST. Chris from travelingmitch:. Burdock Brewery, in my humble opinion, is the shining light of the Toronto’s Bloordale Village neighbourhood which, for reference, isn’t terribly far from the much better known Junction Triangle."
