Things to see and do with kids in Toronto

Boasting a multitude of attractions and activities, kids on holiday in Toronto will be kept busy for days on end. With great outdoor and indoor opportunities, Toronto is a family holiday paradise with wonderful activities and sights lurking round every corner.

Featuring the largest selection of roller coasters in North America, a great trip out for the kids is Paramount Canada's Wonderland or Ontario Place, while the CN Tower is a slightly different, yet equally thrilling attraction. When the sun is shining, head out for the day to High Park and explore all that this enormous park has to offer, including the Toronto Zoo, or take a trip out to Centre Island which features the fantastic Centreville Amusement Park.

The Ontario Science Centre is also a great place for the kid to enjoy, and although it's located outside of Toronto, it's definitely worth the trip - a great option for the kids on rainy days.
