An exciting ferry ride across the harbor from the main city takes you to this magical cluster of islands near Lake Ontario.

The most prominent recreational draw for children is the Centreville Amusement Park, with its rides and miniature train.

 

Traverse back to an intriguing and romantic past, by visiting the Casa Loma in Toronto.
