For kids, fall is a wonderland of new experiences and golden memories waiting to be made.

Harbourfront Centre's Fall Extravaganza:

Every year, Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre organizes a series of fall workshops for children. From learning to make autumn lanterns to participating in fall-themed pottery sessions, it’s a hub of creativity. The center’s outdoor ice rink also opens late in the fall, offering kids a chance to glide and twirl amidst the golden and crimson trees surrounding the area.

Farm Excursions:
