The sun is shining so take advantage of the great weather and head with your family to Centre Island. The journey alone, the ferry boat ride, from the newly named Jack Layton Ferry Terminal in downtown Toronto, is so much fun.\u00a0 On one side the lake, and on the other, Toronto’s Skyline.\u00a0 Bring a picnic lunch or buy\u00a0food there, lay on the grass or by the water or head out on a fun bike ride.\u00a0 Whatever you choose to do with you family, you’re definitely in for a fun-filled day. \"20130801_120738\"<\/a>\"20130801_150507\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Historically, centre island was inhabited by wealthy Torontonians who built their summer cottages there.\u00a0 It was a resort destination which also included a baseball stadium.\u00a0 In fact, Babe Ruth hit his first professional home run here. However, in 1956, the Toronto Island became an official Toronto park to be enjoyed by all.\"20130801_145019\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of my family’s favourite things to do on the Island is go to Centreville amusement park.\u00a0 There are rides for almost every age.\u00a0 In order to help you first get oriented, go on the train which pretty much takes you around the perimeter of the amusement park.\u00a0 It’s suitable for all family members and it allows you to see what other great rides the park has to offer.\u00a0My son’s favourite rides include the kiddie boat and any ride that’s a vehicle.\u00a0 There’s nothing that\u00a0makes me happier\u00a0than seeing my son brim with pride with a big grin his face as he goes on the rides solo.\u00a0 While there is no admission fee to the amusement park, you will have to purchase tickets or an all-day pass to go on the rides.\"20130801_142440\"<\/a> \"20130801_141843\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another great attraction is Far Enough Farm.\u00a0 An awesome little “zoo” that consists of farmyard and exotic animals. You can easily spend a good hour just visiting with the animals.\"20130801_145038\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Centerville amusement park is open on weekends in September.\u00a0 So make sure you go soon.\u00a0 For more information on how to get there, hours and additional details on the rides & attractions, visit Centerville’s website: http:\/\/www.centreisland.ca\/<\/a><\/p>\n
