25 Most Instagram-Worthy Spots in Toronto
"What’s more Toronto than shooting Instagram photos by the iconic Toronto sign?. It’s a recent addition to the city, but they definitely kept it up after the Pan Am Games for a reason. You’ll have to visit during quieter hours if you don’t want too many tourists all around it, because it’s pretty much always surrounded by tourists."

"On the former site of the Riverdale Zoo, where from 1888 to 1974 prairie wolves howled at night and spooked the Cabbagetown kids, Riverdale Farm is a rural oasis in the downtown. Now a working-farm museum, it has two barns, a summer wading pool and pens of feathered and furry friends. Kids follow the farmer around as they do their daily chores, including milking the cows at 10:30am. There's a farmers market on Tuesdays (3pm to 7pm May to October)."

Tucked in behind Cabbagetown, it’s the perfect place to get a glimpse of life outside the city without venturing far. Watch cows swat flies with their tails, little pigs happily munch away, spot the tiniest baby goats and sheep in the spring, and learn about the animals, too!"

This 18-hectare park is a recreational hub year-round; with baseball diamonds, a running track, tennis courts, a pool, and a children’s playground, plus an ice rink and one of the best toboggan hills in the city during the winter months. It’s from this hill, sloping down from Broadview Avenue, that you get another impressive view of the city."
