Centreville Amusement Park

Rated this place:

Toronto Island, Toronto, ON

Summer day trip with kids: Centreville is the greatest little amusement park for families with young kids. They can do almost everything - and lots of it on their own without adults. The place is almost completely frozen in time from when we were kids. And the ferry ride over is an adventure of its own.
