Getting out and enjoying new experiences, being with friends and going to fun events are all ways to reduce stress. We have not been able to go out and explore our city for some time. Some of you may have already been exploring as things have been opened up again and some are taking some time to decide where to explore first. Whatever your idea of fun is and whatever your comfort level is in visiting tourist destinations, find some fun this summer!
Check out this list of Toronto attractions and their welcome back safety protocols. If attractions are not what you are seeking, check out the events happening in and around the GTA. Stay tuned next week for a list of the best nature destinations you can check out all year long (plus they’re free to visit!). Enjoy your fun!
Cheer on the Jay’s as they play against the Tiger’s at The Rogers Centre all weekend long!
