Go visit the beautiful and rare animals at the Toronto Zoo! It has attractions, “wild encounters,” events, and more. Most recently, its Amur tiger cub was named Mila after receiving 15,000 votes from the public. The name means “loved by the people, gracious, dear one,” the zoo said online.
Where: 2000 Meadowvale Road
Toronto Island

You can escape downtown and make your way to Toronto Island for a day of exploring the communities, hanging at the beach, and visiting the attractions. Getting to the island itself is an adventure — take the ferry, canoe or kayak, a water taxi, the tender, or a private boat. Learn about Toronto Island’s history here.

After a quick lesson with instructors, you get to explore the Toronto Islands and float by the beach homes on an LED torch paddle as the sun sets for an evening adventure. Once it’s dark, your board will light up, and you’ll have an incredible view of the city’s skyline.
Where: Ward’s Beach
Humber Bay Arch Bridge

What’s a summer without a visit to the beach? Not one at all. Kick off your shoes, dig your toes into the sand or go for a dip. There’s a reason why Woodbine Beach is a popular destination for Torontonians.
Where: 1675 Lake Shore Blvd E.
