We’re not entirely sure how Mother’s Day is synonymous with flowers and brunch and Father’s Day brings to mind socks or ties… maybe a barbeque if you’re feeling adventurous? But dads deserve special attention too, even if they claim not to care.
Besides these top notch Father’s Day gift ideas, June’s good weather almost demands a fun outing or event to celebrate dad. Here are some fun ways to celebrate Father’s Day in Toronto.
Dad will surely approve!
Pack a Picnic
Picnic foods are delicious and easy, and planning a picnic in the park is much more relaxed (and more socially distant!) than having a fancy dinner at home. Enjoy the nicer weather and plan for a meal al fresco at one of these great parks for a picnic in Toronto.
Break for Brunch
Mom doesn’t have the the only occasion worthy of a hearty brunch. While we’re still relegated mostly to takeout, these awesome brunch spots in Toronto will happily and deliciously scramble an egg or flip a pancake (or both) in dad’s honour. Better yet, grab your supplies, grab your takeout, and hit the park for a takeout brunch picnic; no mushy watermelon need apply.
Get Cookin’
Feeling ambitious? If the way to man’s heart is through his stomach, we’ve got you covered. Whipping up any (or all!) of these five recipes for Father’s Day will guarantee a memorable meal and memories made in the making of it, too.
Hop on!
A bike ride is an adventure best shared with a loved one. And who better to share that adventure with than the guy who’s likely had his share of putting on and taking off training wheels. Planning a family bike ride on one of Toronto’s great bike paths for families will put smiles on your (and Dad’s) face and also help to work off all of your various brunches and picnic feasts.
Berry Picking
The timing couldn’t be better for heading out berry picking. Most u-pick berry farms are open for the season with Covid-19 regulations and protocols in place. Probably best to reserve your spot in advance at one of these Toronto berry picking farms.
Outdoor Dining at The Gardens of Casa Loma
If dad’s been REALLY good this year, why not allow the kids (and you!) to treat him (and you!) to a meal at a true Toronto landmark? Dine al fresco at The Gardens of Casa Loma, with stunning views of the estate gardens and city skyline. The Gardens are open as of June 11th for outdoor dining.

Local Toronto Events
Slowly but surely, our city is opening up again. If dad is itching to get out and about as much as you and the kids surely are, you can actually start making plans again. Check out some of these Toronto June events and see if there’s something you can enjoy along with your favourite guy.
