Tips on renting in Toronto

Getting Around

Nestled along the serene banks of Lake Ontario, the vibrant neighborhood of Mimico offers an idyllic escape. Stroll the elegant Humber Bay Park, delight in the culinary creations at The Carbon Bar, and savor artisanal treats from local boutiques, all while basking in the gentle lakeside breeze.

What to Pack

As the sultry dusk envelops Toronto in July's embrace, pack UV-protective clothing and stylish swimsuits for sun-drenched days. Include breathable fabrics and a light sweater for blissful evenings by fire pits, with the lake-breeze cool refreshing your senses. Don’t forget chic water shoes—perfect for paddling beneath sapphire skies.

Must-Try Activities

Toronto’s urban buzz meets the great outdoors with an array of activities that showcase the city’s stunning natural assets and vibrant culture. Start your adventure along the scenic shores of Lake Ontario, where the Martin Goodman Trail winds for miles—perfect for a morning jog, leisurely cycle, or a rollerblade with skyline views. For something more serene, rent a kayak or paddleboard from Harbourfront Canoe & Kayak Centre and glide across the glittering lake with the Toronto Islands as your backdrop. Hop a ferry to Centre Island for a relaxing escape: cycle the island's car-free paths, picnic under shady willows, or enjoy the small but charming Centreville Amusement Park. Meanwhile, High Park—Toronto’s answer to Central Park—offers hiking trails, a zoo, and in spring, a breathtaking canopy of cherry blossoms.

Smart Spending Tips

In Toronto, savor the city's vibrancy while adhering to mindful spending. Treat your family to a delicious meal at St. Lawrence Market for around CAD 15 per person, then bask at the picturesque Scarborough Bluffs—an enchanting outdoor playground with free access to nature's beauty. Consider a guided sunset canoe tour on the Toronto Islands for a splurge at approximately CAD 80 per person, seamlessly blending adventure with stunning views. Prioritize authentic experiences over frivolities to craft unforgettable memories.

Toronto, Canada’s largest city offers families a delightful blend of urban excitement and natural beauty. Begin your adventure at the iconic CN Tower, where you can ascend to the observation deck for panoramic views of the city. For a unique experience, consider the EdgeWalk, a thrilling hands-free walk around the tower’s outer ledge. Nearby, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada captivates with over 20,000 marine creatures, including the mesmerizing Dangerous Lagoon, an underwater tunnel surrounded by sharks and stingrays.

For outdoor enthusiasts, High Park provides a spacious retreat with playgrounds, walking trails, and a free zoo featuring llamas, bison, and more. In the summer, the park’s splash pad offers a refreshing escape. A short ferry ride from downtown, the Toronto Islands present a tranquil oasis with bike rentals, sandy beaches, and Centreville Amusement Park, perfect for younger children.

Cultural experiences await at the Royal Ontario Museum, where families can explore exhibits on natural history and world cultures. The Discovery Gallery offers hands-on activities, including fossil digs and costume dress-up stations. Admission is free for visitors under 25, making it an accessible option for families. With over six million artifacts spanning natural history, world cultures, and dinosaur fossils, kids and adults alike can find something fascinating.
