A surprising nice location by Benjamin
One year I went to Toronto to see the Virgin Music Festival, which was held on the islands. Not all of them were open, but basically it is a collection of small islands connected by bridges across some canals, a bit out into Lake Ontario. That alone makes it pretty cool. At night you get a great skyline view of Toronto. From what I saw, the islands are mostly set up like a nice park with benches and grills, etc. In addition, there is a small amusement ride area. I was there for the concerts, but on the 2nd day of the festival they opened up these rides for free. Bumper boats, a small Ferris Wheel, spinning cups, a water coaster. It is not some high end amusement park kind of set up, but it was a very fun and relaxing surprise for me. Even with all of the stages and music going on at the festival, I could tell that normally the place was set up as a relaxing park to visit and kind of get away from the city just across the water. Cool place.
