- Stewarts Vacation1,003 contributionsIt is possible to walk the full length of the Islands, however, a bicycle is highly recommended for getting around more quickly. This enables one to explore the 3 main islands: Ward Island with its quaint and picturesque residences, Centre Island which is the entertainment hub and Hanlon Island, known for being natural. One can also bike across the connecting bridges to some of the smaller islands. There is something for everyone - stunning iconic views of the Toronto skyline, beaches, Centreville Amusement Park, boating, picnic areas, historic lighthouse, to name a few. Also cafes and restaurants, toilets and bike rental. We rented our bikes on the mainland and took them across on the ferry. This allowed us to explore further once we returned to the mainland, before handing our bikes back.Written November 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sharon HWare, UK49 contributionsWasn't expecting much as just whiling away a couple of hours before leaving town but we were pleasantly surprised. It was very interesting & we learned a fair bit, definitely worth a visit.Written September 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It clear and sweet tasting water adds to the majestic show of art of mother nature .. people come and laze around or they come in groups to party on the lawns , bar- B - que and have a feast or even swim in the water … overall being close to nature and with your loved ones does wonders to your body and mindWritten December 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Reyna D1 contributionNice place to go in the summer. Many authentic pieces, and storytelling by friendly welcoming volunteers. They are really cool historic sites. This is a must-visit.Written October 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Thomas LiamMontreal, Canada306 contributionsThe palm tree section of the gardens is under renovation currently (as of November 2023) so please be aware of that! However, the other 4 sections of the garden are open to the public and are outstanding. You don't need a ton of time here, but if you're into nature and plants at all, then this is a must-do. My fiancé and I loved it.
It's also free! So if you're in the city on a budget, this may be an activity worth checking out.
Yes, there is a homeless encampment in the park. We, however, did not experience any negative situations as a result of this. I would say this is important information to note, but don't avoid the park because of it. These people need a place to be, especially with winter approaching, and unfortunately they don't have any other options. Be kind and compassionate, and put yourself in their shoes rather than jumping to the worst conclusions.Written November 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lgbeattyyToronto, Canada3 contributionsWas there for the Cabbagetown Festival which was fantastic! So many vendors of food and other interesting things. The main street was closed and turned into a festive pedestrian mall, where the different restaurants on the street set up dining areas. And great, free music of all kinds was everywhere. Off of the main street there are many well-preserved Victorian homes and an urban farm with heritage breeds of animals, free admission. There's a beautiful old graveyard near the farm, one of the oldest in Canada. Enjoyed all the little laneways and plaques that honour famous people who lived in the houses. So walkable, but easy access to downtown Toronto by public transit.Written September 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- therichastillStevenage, UK2,556 contributionsBerczy Park is a short walk from Union Station and St Lawrence Market. It's a place you can take your dog for a walk quite easily and they may enjoy the fountain too.
The fountain is lots of dogs spitting water from their mouths into the water in different locations and there is a bone at the top of the fountain. Perhaps this is what they are all aiming for?

There's a whole wide area for biking, walking in the trails, spotting and identifying different kinds of warblers, robins, starlings, swans, Canada goose, etc. You can also catch a glimpse of boats docked in the marina adjacent to the park.Written May 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There was a variety of games to choose from and the staff were very patient in answering our questions during both the training session and actual gameplay.
