The Toronto Islands May 19, 2008

Posted by Jelger in : Travel , trackback

After five weeks in Toronto, I decided to go and visit the Toronto Islands. They are a small group of islands just a fifteen minute ferry-fare away from downtown Toronto. The beauty of the islands actually surprised me. It’s a really nice car free place, and a good spot to escape busy downtown. Even on the sunny saturday afternoon I went there, it wasn’t ‘crowded’ at all.

You can rent a bicycle for around six dollars an hour. I can certainly recommend it, it gives you a quick overview of the islands, so you don’t have to walk for hours to find the nicest spot. Although there are some facilities on the islands like a small amusement park, a Pizza-Pizza, some washrooms, an old church, and renting companies, it’s not to commercial.

Well, enough said: below you can see the short video I’ve made about the Toronto Islands. It will give you a good impression what it’s all about.

Hi I’m interested in seeing Cavalera Conspiracy on Jul.29 and was just wondering if Toronto Island was wheelchair accessible.

Thanks

I’m quite sure the island is accessible by wheelchair.
