Summer fun

Free disc golf
Free disc golf - If you love golf but could do without the green fees, maybe it’s time to try it with a disc. The GTA’s three public disc golf courses — on Ward’s Island, in the Don Valley’s E.T. Seton Park and in Etobicoke’s Centennial Park — are home to a total of 81 holes of frisbee-flinging fun and don’t involve dress codes, memberships or fees of any kind.

Take a tour of Toronto's outrageous ice cream parlours - Toronto's screaming for ice cream. Get an outrageously adorned cone from Sweet Jesus or customize a soft serve creation at La Diperie. Or go all out at try a churro cone, a doughnut cone or an Instagram-worthy ice cream taco.

Work off those calories at an adult jungle gym - You're going to want to hit the gym after stuffing your face, but avoid the weights and treadmills in favour of something a little different. At Pursuit OCR you can jump on monkey bars, dive into a ball pit and generally have the time of your life while breaking a sweat (hard to imagine, I know). This obstacle course and fitness studio will transport you back to childhood while whipping you into shape.

Cross the DVP and explore Leslieville - It's easy to spend time on the west side, but your visit won't be complete without trekking to the Leslieville, the neighbourhood the New York Times once called Toronto's Williamsburg. Start with brunch at Saturday Dinette and later, refuel at one of the area's popular cafes - indulge in an Arabic coffee from just opened Hailed or take your coffee with a raw egg at Lan Restaurant.

Throw some axes over drinks-Axe-throwing is super popular here, but did you know it's a quintessentially Toronto activity? If uptown, head to the new BATL location near Yorkdale or make like a downtowner and saunter over to the Port Lands during one of its drop-in times. If you're the type who plans in advance you can also book out space for you and your travel buddies.
