Celebrate Family Day at the birthplace of modern Toronto – Fort York National Historic Site! Once the location of the climax of the Battle of York during the War of 1812, now the Fort encloses the largest collection of War of 1812 buildings in Canada.

Today the Fort is open from 10am until 3pm, so bundle up the kids and discover Toronto’s history! You can get a tour of the fort, the kids can participate in various activities, and everyone can grab a cup of old-fashioned cocoa from the historic Fort York Kitchen. Regular admission applies ($8.61 for adults, $4.31 for seniors and youth, and $3.23 for children). For more information on Family Day activities, and to learn more about the Fort, go to the Friends of Fort York website.
