Hey Toronto Bees!
What are some fun & cheap activities in and around Toronto for toddlers in the summer time? We're only about 2hrs away so it would be fun to take a day trip with M this summer.
Is the zoo any good?
Perhaps a small meet up?!?!?

@regberadaisy: Giant pandas arrived at the TO zoo this week, I'm not sure when the exhibit will open, but we plan on taking E this summer. If you can get there during the week (weekends are a bit crazy!) the ontario Science center is pretty awesome. There is a small kids play area in the ROM, but for a toddler, it's probably a little boring, unless they're super into dinosaurs.

Centreville at Toronto Island is fun - plus you get to take a boat ride to get there...

Oh cool! Are there any baby pandas??
@prettylizy: I work so unfortunately it'll have to be on a weekend!

No babies yet, they are hoping in the 10 years China has let Canada borrow them that we'll get babies, and the babies will stay at whatever zoo they procreate at (5 years here and 5 years in Calgary)

I just checked out their site. Looks like an awesome zoo!
How far is it from Markham?

And at the zoo there is a separate area for kids "Kidz Zone" or something like that. AND a water park!

@tinyperson: I second this, Toronto Island is pretty cool! There are beaches, playgrounds, and bikes to rent.

I LOVE the Toronto Zoo.
Reptilia in Vaughan might also be fun (reptile zoo!)
The Science centre is probably a little too old.
Centre Island is fun - plus there's a ferry ride, which is ALWAYS exciting.

@betsyboop: can you take your bikes on the ferry? We're getting a bike trailer thingy for DD this summer and I'd love to go touring on the island when we're there this summer.
