- DjEmceeSacramento, CA1,607 contributionsWe enjoyed our day at the Zoo. There is a lot of walking, we clocked 13,500 steps (6 miles).
I would like to see more animals on display, such as pandas, elephants, and other species that were noticeably absent.
There is a LOT of construction taking place. Nevertheless it was a beautiful park with some decent folks (volunteers) who answered all our questions.
It was easy to take the GO Train from Union Station, using the Presto Card for the Senior Citizen rates. Free Transfer to the #200 bus, with Presto Card. Takes about an hour each way.Written November 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was very peaceful and serene.Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The beach here is arguably one of the finest in the city and is definitely the cleanest. With a wide stretch of sand that extends for several miles, there's ample room for the many visitors who flock to its shores.
You’ll find plenty of space to enjoy activities like beach volleyball or Frisbee without bothering those who prefer to soak up the sun. Even though the area is man-made, it still exudes a rustic and tranquil vibe. This is thanks to the impressive natural scenery and the shady trees that line the sides away from the cliffs. It’s truly an ideal spot for anyone wanting to relax and take in the beautiful beach views alongside the Scarborough cliffs.Written November 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Right at the entrance, several relatively short trails are marked. Vista Trail is a bit longer and can be combined with Mast Trail, giving you about 10 km of ups and downs over steep hills, sometimes with nice views. Find more routes at alltrails.com.
Along the way, we saw hundreds of squirrels and, oddly enough, a lone turtle. The downside is that the noise from the nearby highways can be heard in much of the park.Written September 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sheila270Toronto, Canada3,860 contributionsWe visited this park on a Saturday morning. There is plenty of parking and it’s free. The Guild inn is on the property and they have weddings going on. The grounds are well maintained with lots of flowers, sculptures and relics saved from demolitions. Lots of history. And there’s trails leading off along the bluffs. It’s great to visit when the flowers are in bloom.Written August 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PUMBRIDGELondon, UK2,377 contributionsThe pal we were visiting in Toronto suggested that - after touring a pleasant local park and being entertained by the birdsong - we might like to visit the local water treatment works.
'We've only got three days,' we said. 'Sorry, but it just doesn't appeal. Isn't there somewhere else... an art gallery, perhaps?'
He persisted. He practically begged. Not wanting to offend him, we relented, and he drove us to the RC Harris water treatment plant.
Well, thank goodness he was so insistent.
It's beautiful. Magnificent old brick-built temples to industrial innovation, stylish and elegant architecture, birdlife everywhere (with endless nesting options beneath the needlessly ornate fripperies on the buildings' facades), mighty views, fresh air and living history.Written June 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There’s lots of picnic tables and barbecues. There’s a children’s playground with swings, slides and an interesting climbing structure. Also a splash pad and there’s changing / bathrooms. There’s a cement ping pong table. You can also rent bikes which is at the entrance of the park beside one of the parking lots. This park opens at 8:00am. There’s walking path where you can also ride your bike. We went in April and the park was clean, no garbage around. I enjoy the ravine you see as you walk along the path.Written April 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kritika Ratta34 contributionsThe beach is small but beautiful. One has to walk too much to get to the beach and there is a park nearby. It needs some cleaning definitely.Written October 12, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lisa AToronto, Canada31 contributionsThe staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. If you love history this museum let you go back in time and see what family life was like.
There is also next to the museum a great park for the kids and family to spend the day.Written May 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are many kilometres of well-kept trails and plenty of room for social and physical distancing. If you have young children this is a safe area for them to explore without being too dangerous. As always keep an eye on the kids when you're near the water, but at the same time let them run free. You can bike, hike, walk, skateboard, scooter and pack a picnic and find a cool place to chill. This is an all-ages park with many areas where you find can privacy or spend time with a larger group. On this day, a hot warm summer day, the closer you were to the water you could experience a nice cool, constant breeze coming off the lake, and it was very refreshing. This is a park you could spend the whole day enjoying.Written November 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- shannoncT8660RI8 contributionsThe splash pad is a fun way to cool down on a hot summer day!

- operalover939Toronto, Canada2,965 contributionsThe Splendid China Mall is smaller than the Pacific Mall on the north side of Steeles, but it is newer and looks tidier. Other than that it offers many of the shopping possibilities that the larger mall does, and it house the Graceful Vegetarian Restaurant, which is a real plus.Written July 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Caro R12 contributionsI went during a very sunny day. The view was astonishing. There is not much to do, but it is a good place if you are looking for a break from the noise and chaos of the city.Written February 13, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
