Attractions & things to do for the kids in your life

Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre (Toronto)

High energy

On my wish list of places to visit

I haven't had the chance yet to rent something from this company but a friend of mine lend me a kayak a few summers ago to explore Toronto Islands. It was the highlight of my summer! I strongly recommend you try this experience. They rent kayaks, canoes and paddleboards. See the company's website about their guided tours. Children 6 years and older accompanied by their guardian can join the day tours. If you rent, you will need to do a Checkout Paddling Assessment. Look for the blue and white building at the corner of Rees and Queens Quay West, near the Marine Police Station.
