Great Things to Do and See in Toronto With Kids
"If you want to take pictures in a place that shows the more classic side of Toronto, pay a visit to St. Lawrence Market. Its stone archways, limestone structures and floral displays are definitely an excellent backdrop for a stylish city shoot. It’s a great place to take pictures for your photography portfolio, modelling gigs or engagement."
"This two-hour tour is definitely something to do if you’re interested in art but if street art isn’t your thing, you might wanna give this a miss and head to St Lawrence Market instead. 1300: Lunch at Seven Lives"
"Also, check out a food tour through St. Lawrence Market!. Not only do we find food tours to be the best way to get to know the city through it’s food, you also learn about the history."
"Next on our list is a classic Queen Street supperclub spot that most who are familiar with if they’ve ever gone out to party on Queen West. The Drake Hotel, but for all intensive purposes, we’re strictly talking about the rooftop patio. With premium drinks and food this casual spot lends itself well to the eclectic hipster vibe of Queen West."
"– Located on the rooftop of The Drake Hotel, Sky Yard is right in downtown Toronto on Queen St W. Get some shopping done before you head up for a spectacular cocktail."
"Pub fare has a twist with exceptional taste and good value for your buck. Toss in draft beers and a little..."
"What is it: Another member of the unofficial Aleyards brewing collective, the fine folks at Junction pump out creative brews at an impressive pace – up to 600 small batches per year, on their count. Why go: The brewery’s setting, a former trash incinerator built in the Art Deco era (c. 1934), will take your breath away. Luckily, there are plenty of tasty, creative beers (barrel-aged porters, German-style festbiers and Berlinerweisses) to revive you."
"You might not look at Junction’s stately new home and think “trash incinerator,” but that’s precisely what it was built to be in the early 30s, when it was known as “The Destructor” (dope). When brewmaster Doug Pengelly and Co. moved in, they kitted the place out with energy-saving brewing tanks, plus a taproom pouring everything from staples like Conductor’s APA to Earl Grey ale and mango lager."
"From stouts to lagers, to sours, to ales, Junction Craft gives you various options from which to choose. Residents of Toronto get free delivery when they order at least 12 cans. If you live elsewhere in Ontario, you need to spend at least $75 to qualify for free shipping."
"For those unfamiliar with the dish, it’s essentially a pot over a burner into which you drop raw ingredients to cook in a flavourful broth (a brother which serves as the base for over 30 other soups, needless to say its delicious). From there, you can choose from 30+ types of meat and 30+ types of vegetables—not to mention dipping sauces."
"On the first floor of the same mall-esque structure as Dim Sum King, you’ll find Little Sheep. Specializing in All-You-Can-Eat Mongolian Hotpot, this do it yourself eatery is perfect for the hungry diners among you!. You’ll have the chance to fill your pot with all of the sauces, meats and vegetables your heart desires."
"Immerse yourself in the 1860s and explore an authentically re-created country village of the Toronto region. At Black Creek Pioneer Village, visitors discover 40 historic buildings, 70 rare and heritage breed animals, 10 gardens growing flowers and plants from heirloom seeds, and exciting programs that engage people of all ages. They meet costumed educators who demonstrate and involve visitors with trades and crafts common in 1860s’ Ontario, tap their toes to music of the era, laugh at the hysterical antics of the History Actors, and have fun engaging in hands-on activities throughout the village!"
"This living-history village recreates the 1860s with more than 30 restored buildings and such craftsmen as tinsmiths, blacksmiths, millers, clock-makers, and weavers selling their wares. Visitors will also find demonstrations of spinning, hearth cooking, and quilting. The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker prove how modern life may feel busier than ever, but in may ways, we have it easy."
"Stop by Osgoode Hall for a quick visit. This heritage building houses the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Law Society of Ontario. But what makes it especially unique is the Great Law Library, which not only holds the largest private collection of legal material in Canada but also has an enchanting antique design. The wood paneling and spiral staircase retain all the old-world charm and elegance."
"Osgoode Hall is located right next to Nathan Phillips Square, and it’s always a neat spot for taking Instagram photos in Toronto. When the flowers bloom in the spring, Osgoode Hall is absolutely gorgeous!. Of course it’s pretty here all year round, but the vibrant spring flowers definitely make it even more special."
