Visited on a Monday in late Aug and found the crowd consisted of mostly locals, with a lot of small children. There was a wait for the Centre Island ferry, but we caught the first boat. Great views of the Toronto skyline. There is an amusement park for small children, but found it rather crowded and there were lots of... more

Since the islands are all connected, you can take any of the ferries leaving from Toronto Ferry Docks (at Bay Street and Queens Quay) as long as you don't mind walking to whichever other islands you'd like to go. Centre Island is more geared specifically for families with it's small amusement park and wide open green spaces. Tandem bike rental... more

We rented one of the side-by-side tandem bicycles (quadricycle?) and did the entire island loop, it's about 90 minutes around if you don't really stop much. It's a pretty place, nothing to really do, but a nice way to spend an afternoon if the weather agrees. more

This is a great spot to go in the summer. Unfortunately it is no unkept secret, many locals flock here whenever the temperature gets over 17 degrees!! Still worth the trip though The island has a great setup and can fill in a day. Hire a bike, a kayak, go to the nude beach, or just sit on the grass.... more

The ferry trip across gives great a great view of the city skyline and the chance to take some fantastic photos. The islands are safe and clean and a place where you're kids can play like they should always be able to. There is an area with fountains and water sprayers for kids to cool down on hot days, a... more

I wholeheartedly agree with all the other reviews since I have been going to the Islands since I was a child. Then the ferries were run by the TTC and it was a TTC fare to ride over and back, Centre Island had a thriving permanent community, and the old resort hotel still faced the open lake. The "but" is... more

Even though I'm from Toronto, I still see the Island as a GREAT way to spend a day. There is great exploring to do and lots of interesting neighbourhoods to walk around in too. My reccomendation is to go to Wards Island ferry (Leaves from the same ferry dock as the Toronto Island Ferry). And from there walk to Centre... more
