High Park

Toronto's biggest park: cherry blossom in spring, red maples in fall

Hours: Park always open (zoo has its own hours)
Tickets: Free
Address: 1873 Bloor St W, west of downtown

Step off the subway, cross the road and you're into woods, hills and ponds. In late April and early May crowds pack the cherry trees near Grenadier Pond, and in October the maples and oaks go red and gold. A small free zoo with bison and llamas keeps kids happy. It feels less like a sight and more like where Torontonians spend their Sunday.
