Fall in Toronto means sweater weather, shorter days, and a calendar that somehow needs filling every weekend until the snow flies. Whether you're planning around a PA Day, a rainy Saturday, or just want to make the most of the season, here are 10 of the best things to do with your kids this fall in Toronto — including a hands-on pick from Le Dolci Culinary Classroom.
1. Join Le Dolci's Saturday Kids Baking Camp
A weekly Saturday morning series at Le Dolci Culinary Classroom in The Junction — a fun, consistent routine for fall weekends. Choose from two sessions: Saturday September 26th – Saturday October 17th, 2026, or Saturday October 10th – Saturday October 31st, 2026, both 9:00am–12:00pm. $399.00 CAD for the series.
2. Go apple picking at a local orchard
Head just outside the city to one of the GTA's apple orchards for picking, cider donuts, and wagon rides — a fall classic that never gets old.
3. Visit a pumpkin patch and corn maze
Many GTA farms combine pumpkin patches with corn mazes and hayrides, making for an easy full-morning outing before Halloween.
4. Walk the fall colours at High Park
High Park's trails are one of Toronto's best free fall activities — bring a thermos of hot chocolate and let the kids run through the leaves.
5. Meet the animals at Riverdale Farm
A free, low-key outing in Cabbagetown where younger kids can see farm animals up close year-round, fall included.
6. Spend a rainy day at the Ontario Science Centre
A reliable go-to when the weather turns — hands-on exhibits keep curious kids entertained for hours.
7. Catch a fall storytime at your local library
Toronto Public Library branches run seasonal storytimes and craft drop-ins through the fall — a low-cost way to fill a weekday afternoon.
8. Take a family bike ride along the waterfront
Cooler temperatures and thinner crowds make fall one of the best times to bike the Martin Goodman Trail as a family.
9. Visit a local fall fair or harvest festival
Keep an eye out for neighbourhood harvest festivals and fall fairs popping up around the city through September and October.
10. Bake something seasonal together at home
Between outings, a Saturday afternoon of baking pumpkin muffins or spiced cookies together is a fall tradition kids remember.
