I loved it. But you must to pay the boat to go to the Island (pay only one way). The Island is huge and there you can see nature, play baseball or go to the beach.

A visit to the Toronto Island was suggested to us, so of course we had to go and see what the fuss was about! The ferry departs from the Harbour at the bottom of Yonge Street, so is easily accessible, and costs $7 return which is reasonable. The crossing is a mere 10-15 minutes, and in no time you are...

Not many cities have something as beautiful as the Toronto Island(s)! The only problem can be the long lines for the ferries. Hopefully a bridge or tunnel will someday be built. A great place to spend all day, hiking, boating, picnicking and swimming. Bring food along with you and be prepared for a lot of walking.

Such a great place to just get away from the wild buzz of the city. I took the family there for a bike ride and a picnic barbecue, and it was a day well spent. The weather, the view, the ferry ride, everything about the place was absolutely incredible.

The Toronto Islands are a hidden treasure. You are a short ferry ride from downtown Toronto. During the hot, humid days of summer this is a real oasis. But there is something missing. And why are the parks empty? The Toronto Islands lack the vitality of New York's Central Park.

The Toronto Islands are just a short ferry ride from the downtown and seem like it's another world. There are three ferry docks on the island and you can walk or ride a bike anywhere on the islands.

A really pretty park with lot's of open space, benches to eat picnics and beaches to relax on a hot day, also really nice views of Toronto city. The only downside being the boat rides, we had to wait over an hour to get a ticket for the boat, then a further 20 minutes to get onto the boat. We... More
