FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT

A few favourite activities in the area include water parks, mini-golf, bowling, movies, laser tag and paintball. The Greater Toronto Area boasts great water parks to cool off at during steamy summer days, such as Wild Water Kingdom in Brampton and Cedar Park Resort in Bowmanville. Although both water parks incorporate large swimming pools and twisty water slides, they also have activities like mini-golf where visitors can stay dry. Kids who have bundles of energy can put it to good use during laser tag and paintball games. The area offers several laser tag and paintball venues like Laser Quest in Mississauga and Gladiators Paintball Arenas in Toronto. On sweltering hot days or freezing cold ones, bowling alleys and movie theatres are always popular options. Families can spend evenings knocking down five or 10 pins in various bowling alleys or munching on popcorn and candy while watching the latest flicks on the big screen in the region's movie theatres.
OUTDOOR FUN
Visitors to the Greater Toronto Area can soak up sunny days and snowy ones with an assortment of outdoor tours and activities. The area boasts numerous lush, green golf courses that are not only well-manicured, but challenging. Guided or self-guided bicycle tours are another way to take advantage of a warm day and see the area's urban and rural landscapes. Keen fishers can choose from a multitude of fishing tours on which they might just catch the ultimate trout, salmon or pike. Adventurous souls can have their pick of invigorating activities like rock climbing, snorkelling, ballooning or even skydiving.
Although summertime is packed with activities and tours to try, so is winter. The area features ski resorts catering to both beginner and advanced skiers, like Skyloft Ski Resort in Uxbridge, Uplands Ski Centre in Thornhill and Oshawa Ski Club in Oshawa.
