A popular summer pastime is taking the ferry or a water taxi across the harbour over to the beautiful Toronto Islands. The Islands have so many things to see, do, and eat, and we'll show you it all in this tour of the Toronto Islands. From exploring the Centreville Amusement Park, as well as North America's largest car free community, wandering along the sandy beaches, and of course eating lots of tasty food, the Toronto Islands are the perfect day trip from the bustling city of Toronto!

Those tulip chairs were a gift from the Netherlands, when royalty from that country visited some years ago. By the way, if you want to sound like a local (I mean local local, as in an islander) NEVER pluralize the word 'Island'.

@SonGoku31213 11 месяцев назад

Probably one of the most peaceful and beautiful places to visit when coming to Toronto. Even without joining any activity, the island is very enjoyable to turn off the brain and vibe with nature. If u go in summer, this island has some of the most beautiful beaches compared to other ones nearby. I hope people make sure to clean after themselves tho. It even has one beach where u can swim naked! :D Other than that, grab some weed, friends or dog + cat and enjoy the view:)

@debbier7339 Месяц назад

how long to walk the whole island? or will bike be easier?

@TakeTimeToTravel Месяц назад

There are about 15 islands that make up the Toronto Islands. The most popular one is Centre Island where you can find fountains, formal gardens, Centerville Amusement Park, a pier that extends into Lake Ontario, a sandy beach, picnic areas, Franklin's Children's Garden and many other attractions. We really loved walking around Ward's and Algonquin Islands to check out the many homes and cottages that are there. You can walk all over as there are bridges between the islands, but there are also bike rentals which might be easier to get around. Thank you for watching, we really appreciate it :)

How many hours is ideal for a proper visit? 4-5 or more?

@TakeTimeToTravel 10 месяцев назад

It would depend on what you plan to do while you're there. If you are going to spend some time at the beach, or pack a picnic lunch to eat there, or enjoy the Centreville Amusement Park, then you would have to allow for more time. We were there for about 4 or 5 hours just wandering around. We had a great time and would definitely recommend a trip there. Thanks for watching :)
