🇨🇦 A Perfect Family Bike Day on Toronto Islands

When the weather's nice, there's no better way to treat your parents than a leisurely bike ride across all three Toronto Islands! Our route: 🚲 Ward's Island → Centre Island → Hanlan's Point → Ferry back Perfect pace for seniors - relaxing yet rewarding! 🚲 Pro Tips for Planning: ✔ Bike Share Toronto App - Multiple docking stations on islands (affordable & convenient) ✔ Pack lunch - We brought sandwiches/fruit (bike baskets fit small backpacks) ✔ Sun protection - Even with shade, summer sun demands hats/water 🌿 The Adventure Begins: From Union Station, we walked 10min to Jack Layton Ferry Terminal. Pro tip: Choose Ward's Island ferry for fewer crowds - it's like a hidden lakeside village with quaint homes and gardens. 🚴♀️ Our Scenic Route: 1️⃣ Grabbed bikes near the dock (5min walk right after disembarking) 2️⃣ Pedaled along Ward's shoreline with CN Tower views + breezy forest trails 3️⃣ Stopped at Centre Island Beach for toe-dipping and bench breaks 4️⃣ Discovered the Franklin Children's Garden (photo-worthy sculptures!) 5️⃣ Rode the rainbow-painted path near Hanlan's Point (golden hour magic!) ⛴️ Return Trip: Caught the 5pm ferry from Hanlan's Point - don't miss the willow trees + skyline photo ops by the Water Taxi area! #TorontoIslands #FamilyBonding #AccessibleAdventures #SlowTravelTO
