"0"^^ . "9"^^ . . "One of my very favourite spots.\n\nThe ferry is so inexpensive- I think 6.50? and there is a ton to do! A lot of other YELP reviewers are correct on here that the ferry to Center Island, and Center Island itself, are kid-filled and loud, and I agree, but I think it's nice. I took a fair few trips here last summer! At one point my cousin and I (I am in my early 20s, she is in her late teens) went on a few of the \"kid rides,\" including the Ferris Wheel and the (Skyride?) where we got to look over the whole park. I found it very enjoyable.\n\nThe outdoor restaurant on the Center Island part wasn't bad, but I feel I like Hanlan's point the best. I didn't visit the nude beach, but I would swear that I got the best spot in the house in a little sandy pit on the edge of Hanlan'd Point to watch the Canada Day fireworks! It was amazing. Going to Toronto Island is a welome change for me (as much as I love the city, I really like the green! It's a very relaxing place.)\n\nA few more points:\n\nPluses/tips:\n+you can rent a bike for hours, or the whole day\n+the bikes come from single, all the way up to.. I think 6 people? Very cool.\n+There are tons of beach spots\n+BBQ pits!\n+Lots of places to sit, even when busy\n+Check out Hanlan's point for an incredible view of Toronto\n+Water taxis can take you back to the city if you miss your ferry, but ferries are frequent\n\nMinuses/\n-Bring a picnic for a day trip. The restaurants that I have tried were expensive! If you eat on the Island, I suggest a full Pizza at Pizza Pizza split amongst you... but there are plenty of places to picnic and that makes it more fun!\n- Mosquitos are frequent at night!\n-Last ferry leaves at 11:30 ish so you want to be sure to get there by then\n\nBring a book, sunglasses & sunscreen :) Perfect summer place!"^^ . . .
