With the wake of COVID-19, Toronto lost out on many of the amazing events that occur in the city annually. With the summer approaching and restrictions lifting, we wanted to give families a guide of what’s available this summer if you’re planning to visit. Here are some activities you can enjoy when your family comes to visit our beautiful city next!
- The ROM
Just steps from your home at YVCircle, you will find the beautiful Royal Ontario Museum. The museum was built in 1912, but has had many renovations and expansions since to modernize and upgrade this staple in our city. This museum is one of the largest in North America, and the largest in Canada, so there is no shortage of spaces and history to explore while inside. They have tons of different exhibits for people of all ages, and plenty of room for your little ones to run around without breaking anything. The exhibits at the ROM change every few months, take a look at their current exhibit here.
- Ice Cream
Toronto happens to have a wide variety of ice cream shops throughout the city, with many of them making their own ice cream on site. Yorkville happens to have a few of these incredibly delicious and unique shops, and all happen to be extremely close to your home at YVCircle! Within the small radius of Yorkville there are 4 incredible ice cream and gelato shops around; Punta Gelato, The Gelato shop by Coco Espresso Bar, Il Gelato in Eataly, and Summer’s Ice cream. All of these are extremely delicious in their own way, and have homemade and unique flavours that will keep you coming back for more!
- Hit Up a Patio
The food scene in Toronto is one that rivals many other cultural hubs around the world, and we have many incredible restaurants to show for it. Just within the confines of the Yorkville neighbourhood you can get a wide variety of cuisines from Italian, Japanese, Spanish, French, Vegan, Chinese and more, that all offer high end offerings. We definitely recommend you check out one of the many patios that are available just steps out of your home at YVCircle.
- Shopping
We don’t like to brag, but our shopping in Yorkville is one that rivals any of the other areas in the city. The Bloor – Yorkville area offers a wide variety of shopping options for everyone, both indoor and outdoor! The area offers many high end boutiques to get luxury goods, while also offering low to midrange options for those looking for range. If you’re looking for more of a mall feel, we recommend checking out the Eaton centre, which is just a few blocks away. This world-class shopping centre has everything you could possibly need in its three-storey structure. If you are coming to Toronto, you are going to want to leave some space in your suitcase!
Toronto happens to be a central hub for culture in Canada, which means there is never a lack of activities to do in the city. This list only encompasses the area of Bloor – Yorkville, so you can imagine that the entire city has even more to offer. The YVCircle concierge is here to help you make your stay with us as memorable as possible, and plan anything you might want to do while staying with us!
