Fun Activities to do this Spring with Your Family in Toronto and the GTA

Winter is almost over and with the warm weather coming, now’s a great time to get outdoors and bask in the sunshine. Here are some events and activities for you and your family to do in and around the GTA this month!

1. Spend the Day at High Park High Park is famous for its stunning cherry blossoms that bloom during the springtime! Back in 1959, Japan presented 2000 Sakura trees to Toronto on behalf of the citizens of Tokyo. The trees were planted in appreciation of Toronto accepting relocated Japanese-Canadians during World War II. You can find most of the trees around Hillside Gardens, and a few by Duck Pond. Although you won’t be able to see them bloom until late April to early May, there are still plenty of things to do in the area. Did you know High Park is Toronto’s largest park and is recognized as one of the most significant natural sites in the city? Spend the day enjoying this 400-acre property and go on a walk through the trails, go fishing or cycling, visit the High Park Zoo, and so much more!
