What to do
Visit High Park (1873 Bloor
St. W.) to watch the wildlife by
Grenadier Pond, kick a soccer
ball around or walk one of the
many trails to discover hidden art.
The huge Jamie Bell Adventure
Playground, complete with
slides, turrets and swings, is
a kid’s dream come true. Don’t
forget to stroll through the High
Park Zoo to give your regards to
the capybaras Bonnie and Clyde,
plus the many bison, llamas
and peacocks. If the forecast
is inclement, book a session at
Pursuit OCR (444 Dufferin St.),
Canada’s largest indoor obstacle
course. On Sunday mornings
between 7 a.m. and noon, the
entire space is exclusively open
to kids ages 12 and under.
The Cinesphere at Ontario
Place (955 Lake Shore Blvd. W.)
screens family favourites like
Beauty and the Beast and
The Polar Express on the world’s
first permanent Imax screen
(check ontarioplace.com for
showings). After your movie,
check out the Waterfront Trail
(waterfronttrail.org); wal k or rent
a pair of wheels from a Bike Share
Toronto (bikesharetoronto.com)
station and enjoy a panoramic
view of Lake Ontario.
Where to eat
The dinner and theatre combo
at Medieval times (10 Dufferin
St.) can’t be beat. Feast on
hearty fare like garlic bread,
roasted chicken and potatoes
while you cheer on your knight.
Chow down at local family
favourite Barque Smokehouse
(299 Roncesvalles Ave.), where
the kids’ menu includes chicken
fingers, a caesar with candied
bacon and a cookie that wee
ones can decorate themselves.
