Toronto family activity overview
For a Toronto family weekend, choose between hands-on science at Harbourfront and outdoor time in High Park. Use the Harbourfront listing for the Ontario Science Centre visit. The former Don Mills Road site closed in 2024. Keep High Park as its own outing so you can spend your time there instead of fitting both into one day.

Science at Harbourfront
The Ontario Science Centre now directs visitors to 235 Queens Quay at Harbourfront Centre. Admission includes KidSpark, Space Deck and Innovation Station. Tickets use timed entry, so book around the time you can arrive. Strollers are permitted, with space to park them. Use the current visitor page for prices and hours rather than an older Don Mills itinerary.
Ontario Science Centre - KidSpark at Harbourfront: family visit detailsHigh Park on a weekend
High Park combines playgrounds, walking paths and a zoo. The main visitor vehicle entrance is closed on weekends and holidays. The City lists separate seasonal access from the Queensway and year-round Wheel-Trans service. Plan how you will reach the part of the park you want to visit before setting out. This guide links one High Park overview so the same park does not look like two separate outings.

Toronto with kids: common questions
How would you use these choices for three days in Toronto?
I would reserve one day for Harbourfront science and another for High Park, with the order chosen around weather and ticket availability. Leave the third day open until you know what your children want more of, then use the activity filters below. This is a planning suggestion, not a list of dated weekend events.
