Toronto Centre Island|Three-Island Tour Guide

To fully enjoy Toronto Centre Island, first understand its "three-island layout": Ward’s Island, Centre Island, and Hanlan’s Point. Each area has its own unique features, and the ferry runs very frequently. You can check the exact schedule in the comments section, making planning very easy. The best boarding point is the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, which is super convenient and very close to Union Station, within walking distance. Taking the ferry to the island is cost-effective, about 9 CAD round trip per person, with departures on time and no long waits; if you're in a hurry, you can also choose a water taxi, costing a bit over ten CAD one way, which is flexible and fast. The liveliest is Centre Island, which not only has a children's playground and a farm zoo but also small lakes and exquisite gardens. When you get tired, you can find restaurants or small shops to recharge. Its facilities are more complete than the other two islands. Ward’s Island is a residential area with colorful small houses that look like scenes from a fairy tale. You can stroll along the lakeside boardwalk enjoying the lake breeze, and the nearby golf course is also very stylish. Hanlan’s Point hides the Centre Island Airport and a vintage lighthouse, making photos taken there full of atmosphere. While hiking, you often encounter surprises: swans glide slowly across the water 🦢, groups of wild ducks play around, and when tired, you can sit on the lawn to rest. The lake breeze carries a fresh scent, so comfortable you won’t want to leave.

Royal Alexandra Theatre

This trip was all about experiencing the magic of musicals. We settled on the renowned Royal Alexandra Theatre, venturing into the heart of the city for a single performance called "Tell Tale Harbour." No shopping or spending sprees; we simply immersed ourselves in the music and storytelling. As we entered the theatre, a drizzle drifted outside, creating a truly atmospheric experience. While the motivation for this trip was a bit unusual, it was incredibly healing and left us with an unforgettable cultural experience. Toronto's King Street West is lined with both modern and classical architecture. On a rainy evening, under a slightly gray sky, the theatre's distinctive Western-style facade stood out. Even without a shopping list, simply strolling the streets, watching the city go by, and the intertwining of modern and historic architecture on the street corners is enough to make you linger. I highly recommend adding this area to your "rainy day walk" bucket list. If you're traveling to Toronto solely for a performance, the Royal Alexandra Theatre is a perfect choice. The theater itself is over a century old, retaining many European design elements. The entrance hallway and grand lobby create a truly atmospheric atmosphere. Even though the sky is gloomy outside, entering the theater still feels like a "small surprise in the bustling city." The theater specializes in musicals and stage plays, as well as numerous popular operas.
