Would you want to explore sprawling natural landscapes, skate, spend a day at the museum or take the kids on a fun and educational trip? Can’t decide on what to do? You don’t have to because Town of Scarborough ON has all of these activities. There are so many family-friendly things to do in the neighborhood and its environs that it is impossible to go through all of them. Here’s a list, though, of some of the things worth doing while in the neighborhood.
Tobogganing at Riverdale Park
Winter comes with the delightful opportunity of sliding downhill at Riverdale Park. The panoramic view of Toronto from the hills at the park makes the experience even better. Adults and kids will love the gravity assist while rushing downhill. Walking uphill for another run gives everyone a decent workout to burn all those calories. The Rooster Coffee restaurant close to the park is just what you’ll need after the long, fun, and grueling day at Riverdale Park.
Visit the Ontario Science Center
The Ontario Science complex is the perfect destination for the whole family, especially on those rainy weekends. The center offers a hands-on learning experience letting kids grasp various scientific topics like space exploration through interactive activities. You get access to an IMAX theatre screening the latest Box Office releases. It does tend to get a bit crowded in the weekend though. If you’re looking to make the most of your time here, plan your visit in the morning hours. Between 10 AM and 12 PM, the family gets to check out everything the museum has to offer without having to wait their turn.
Ripley’s Aquarium Canada
Being one of Canada’s largest indoor aquariums, Ripley’s is home to the largest aquatic ecosystem in the country. There are thousands of sea creatures like moray eels, barracudas, jellyfish, sharks, octopuses, and rays. All fun activities at the aquarium are structured to provide an educational experience for adults and children. There are lots of interactive displays to keep the young ones and marine enthusiasts satisfied. The aquarium is open around the year, so even if it’s snowing or raining inside, you can visit Ripley’s.
The Toronto Zoo
Toronto Zoo, relocated to Scarborough, is one of the district’s gems. They have lots of exhibits in the large indoor habitat. It presents the perfect chance to check out the Massasauga rattlesnake, Canada’s native reptiles and birds, white lions, and gorillas. The zoo has lots of custom habitats including a replica of the African Rainforest Pavilion.
