Ferry Toronto

The Toronto Island ferry service operates year-round connecting downtown Toronto to the beautiful Toronto Islands in Lake Ontario. The City of Toronto operates this essential transportation link from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at the foot of Bay Street to three distinct island destinations. This ferry service has been connecting Torontonians and visitors to the islands since 1833, making it one of the oldest ferry services in North America.

Toronto Island events throughout the year include concerts, festivals, and special celebrations that enhance the island experience. The islands host outdoor movies, music festivals, and seasonal events like Canada Day celebrations. Special ferry schedules often operate during major events to accommodate increased visitor numbers.

Dining options on Toronto Islands range from casual cafés to full-service restaurants across all three islands. Popular establishments include Toronto Island BBQ & Beer Co., the Carousel Café, and various food stands throughout Centreville. Ward’s Island features charming local eateries, while Hanlan’s Point offers picnic facilities and seasonal food services.

Photography opportunities abound during ferry crossings and island visits, with spectacular views of Toronto’s skyline from the water. The ferry ride provides unique vantage points for capturing the city’s architecture and waterfront. Islands offer diverse photo locations from beaches and gardens to historic lighthouse and village scenes.

Seasonal attractions vary throughout the year, with summer offering full access to all amenities and winter providing unique experiences. Spring and fall feature moderate crowds and pleasant weather for island exploration. Each season brings different natural beauty and recreational opportunities for ferry passengers to discover.

Centre Island ferry is the most popular route, serving the island’s main attractions including Centreville Amusement Park and Centre Island Beach. The amusement park features over 30 rides and attractions suitable for all ages, including the iconic antique carousel and log flume ride. Centre Island also houses beautiful gardens, picnic areas, and Far Enough Farm, making it ideal for families.

Bicycle rentals and bike-friendly ferry service make cycling a popular way to explore Toronto Islands. All ferries accommodate bicycles at no extra charge, and Bike Share Toronto stations are located near the ferry terminal. The islands feature dedicated cycling paths connecting all major attractions and providing scenic routes through parks and along waterfront areas.

Centreville Amusement Park is a major attraction on Centre Island, operating daily during summer months from 10:30 AM to 8 PM on weekends. The park features family-friendly rides including bumper boats, antique cars, a mini roller coaster, and the famous swan boats. Entry to the park is free, but individual ride tickets or day passes can be purchased on-site or online.

Group bookings and special arrangements are available for larger parties visiting Toronto Islands. Schools, corporate groups, and organizations can arrange group rates and customize their island experience. The ferry service can accommodate large groups with advance notice and proper coordination with terminal staff.

Ferry maintenance and fleet management ensure reliable service throughout the operating season. The Toronto Transit Commission oversees ferry operations with a fleet of five vessels, including the heritage vessel Trillium for special occasions. Regular maintenance schedules may occasionally affect service, with advance notice provided to passengers.
