There are tons of fun things to do in Toronto during spring that are completely free to do! Here's a list of some of our favourite things to do in Toronto during Spring that won't make a dent in your wallet.
Spring is cherry blossom season. Cherry blossom trees in Toronto bloom at the end of April to early May and is a unique spring activity. Whether you’re looking to take some photos of the cherry blossoms or just soak in all the beautiful spring colours, there are many spots in the city where you can find cherry blossom trees. High Park, University of Toronto - Outside of Robarts Library, Trinity Bellwoods Park, York University, Ramsden Park, and Centennial Park are some of our favourite spots.
