Fun Things to Do for Easter in Toronto

With this everlasting winter hopefully almost behind us, it’s time to prepare for the big spring holiday: Easter in Toronto, which brings with it an extra-long weekend (yes, just a reminder that Easter Monday–April 6–is a holiday for school kids). While we can’t help you round up treats and toys for your kids’ Easter baskets, we can provide you with suggestions on how to keep your kids busy, and hopefully, happy, this Easter season.

We round up a bunch of Easter-themed events happening in and around Toronto. In addition to some egg hunts, there are plenty of other activities going on, including a few that we think even parents will enjoy.

Easter Brunch Buffets

Across Toronto
Sunday April 5

An extravagant brunch buffet is one of those modern Easter traditions that we can fully get behind. If you want that classic buffet brunch experience, book your family in at the Old Mill in the West End or at the Guild Inn Estate in the East End. Both destinations offer such familiar favourites as carving, salad, and charcuterie stations, eggs, and lots of desserts.

If your family is in the mood for something a little different, consider an Easter buffet brunch cruise, a two-hour long experience that departs on the Odyssey from 235 Queens Quay in Toronto.
