If you are coming in to Toronto any time soon (and you should — welcome to my city!) I’ve put together some Things To Do In Toronto With Kids. Toronto is diverse, progressive, modern, innovative, and so family-friendly!
THINGS TO DO IN TORONTO WITH KIDS…
Toronto is where the excitement is all year round. Some of the most iconic things to do in Toronto with kids are in within a short walk of one another: You can start by visiting the CN Tower (where there’s a glass floor for the brave to step on), and right beside the CN Tower is the famous Rogers Centre, where you can take in a Major League Baseball game (go Jays, go!) or catch a BIG-name concert. Across from the Rogers Centre is Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada (a fun place to visit for all ages).
There are a few other things to do with kids in Toronto in the same ‘hood as the CN Tower: Check out a concert or NBA game at the Air Canada Centre (Go Raptors!), walk the Toronto Harbourfront (also a prime spot for some of the city’s finest festivals), or visit the Hockey Hall of Fame; all three destinations are nearby. Also close: plenty of family-friendly restaurants sure to please the pickiest of eaters.
Toronto offers a vibrant city life experience to every family. The famous Toronto sign in Nathan Phillips Square is a great background for your photos. Nathan Phillips Square is also the spot for farmer’s markets, free concerts, and family outdoor movies.
One block from Nathan Phillips Square is the Toronto Eaton Centre, one of Canada’s largest malls. (Your teens will want to shop there – OK, so will you!) Also, you have to check out Yonge-Dundas square (think Times Square, but with a distinctly Toronto vibe).
Take a ferry (from the Toronto harbourfront) over to Toronto’s Islands to get a great city view. Little kids will love the rides and fun at the Islands’ CentreVille amusement park.
And for the eco-family…you will want to stop by the Evergreen Brick Works.
The Evergreen Brick Works is super family-friendly and offers activities, walking space, special events, and lots of fun.
Talking fun…the whole family will LOVE the Ontario Science Centre. Stroller-friendly, hands-on, and super interesting; the Ontario Science Centre has something for everyone.

There is so many places that I want to visit and Toronto is one of them. So much to see in this world I cannot wait to take my kiddo up there to see stuff you mentioned here.
I have been to Toronto many times. There is always so much to do there. It’s great!
I sure do love Toronto. I don’t get there as often as I would like now that I live out west. My daughter would love to go to the Eaton Centre.
Toronto seems like such a beautiful city. I have always longed to visit there. I am still longing and I hope to get there someday.
I went to Toronto when I was in high school and loved it! I’d love to take my kids there and do all of these fun things!
Toronto is such a great city. I have never been with my kids but I bet they would love the city.
We went to the Ontario Science Centre for a class trip. It was an amazing day. I would love to go back.
There is a ton of fun things to do in Toronto for the whole family. I would love to start with the Ontario Science Centre. I love when kids can learn while having fun.
I love shopping at the Eaton Centre and in Kensington Market. I am lucky to live only two hours away. My Daughter and I love to hit the city and have a fun day.
I will be in Toronto later this year. I will have to check out all the shops in the Eaton Centre. My kids would love to explore the Ontario Science Centre.
I have heard so many fun things about Toronto. I would love to take my kids there!
I haven’t been to Toronto in ages. But if I ever make it down there (maybe with the grandkids) I will try and hit some of these stops.
I have never been to Toronto and I would probably act like a kid myself with all the sites and everything!! It’s one of my goals to spend a weekend there to go and visit some great places!!
I have always wanted to visit Toronto. So many cool things to do and explore it looks like!
I haven’t been to Toronto since I was in high school. I hope to bring my kids there soon!
I love living here 🙂 Brickworks really is wonderful and if you’re an outdoorsy family you can go for a bike ride along the Don River from there as well!
You certainly made Toronoto seem like a great place to visit with the family. I like when I can plan family activities in advance of the trip.
Once we all get our passports, I would love to visit Toronto. I have a ton of Canadian family.
I want to visit so bad! Thanks for sharing the things to do, at least I know where to start when we plan our vacation 🙂
I love Toronto! There is so much to see and endless fun! I go there quite often and I always enjoy it!
I used to go to Toronto for concerts but I haven’t been back in years
