Ferry Toronto
Parking near the ferry terminal is limited and expensive, making public transit the recommended transportation method. Several paid parking lots operate in the area, but spaces fill quickly during peak periods. The terminal’s proximity to Union Station and streetcar connections makes public transit both convenient and cost-effective for ferry passengers.
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.
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.
The Jack Layton Ferry Terminal is conveniently located at 9 Queens Quay West and is easily accessible by public transit. The 509 and 510 streetcars provide direct connections from Union Station to the terminal, making it unnecessary to drive and deal with expensive downtown parking. The terminal features washrooms, ticket machines, and separate lines for pre-purchased ticket holders.
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.
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.
Environmental sustainability initiatives guide Toronto Island ferry operations and island management. The service is transitioning to electric ferries as part of Toronto’s climate action plan, with new vessels expected by 2026-2027. Island operations emphasize conservation and protection of the unique freshwater coastal ecosystem.
Special events ferry schedules accommodate major attractions and seasonal celebrations on Toronto Islands. Holiday schedules operate during statutory holidays with modified departure times. Concert series, festivals, and special events may require additional ferry service or extended operating hours to serve increased visitor demand.
Historical significance of Toronto Island ferries dates back to 1833 with the first crossing by “Sir John of the Peninsula.” The Toronto Ferry Company operated services until 1926 when the City of Toronto purchased the fleet. This rich maritime heritage continues today with modern vessels serving the same essential transportation function.
Seasonal operations affect ferry service throughout the year, with full service to all three islands from spring through fall. Summer brings the highest frequency of departures and the longest operating hours to accommodate peak tourist season. Winter service is limited to Ward’s Island only, as Centre Island attractions close and weather conditions may affect access to Hanlan’s Point.
Emergency services and safety protocols ensure visitor security on both ferries and islands. Toronto Fire Services maintains a station on Ward’s Island, and emergency medical services are available year-round. Ferry vessels are equipped with modern safety equipment and experienced crews trained in emergency response procedures.
