📍@grindstonecreekfarmburlington is just 15 minutes from Hamilton and about 1 hour and 20 minutes from downtown Toronto, but it truly feels like a getaway.
🐮 We had our own cozy apartment, made friends with the farm animals and even bottle-fed the baby cows their breakfast.
🦃 Turkey security and pig concierge included.

👉 Guild Park & Gardens in Scarborough feels like stepping back in time.
🌳 Wander through lush gardens filled with grand stone columns, arches, and architectural treasures.
🏛️ But these aren’t ancient ruins.
🎨 Originally founded as an artists’ colony in the 1930s. 
🏛️ Guild Park later became a sanctuary for architectural pieces rescued from historic Canadian buildings that were demolished as cities modernized.
🌳 Today, the gardens are free to explore.
📍201 Guildwood Parkway, Scarborough, Ontario
Would you add Guild Park & Gardens to your Ontario bucket list?

❤️ Some are plain, some have raisins or pecans, and bakeries across Ontario have created countless delicious variations.

☀️ Sunset Beach reopened last week with a newly expanded paid parking lot.
🏖️ This neighbourhood beach has a wide stretch of sand and shallow water if you’re brave enough for a dip in chilly Lake Ontario.
☀️ It’s also one of the most beautiful sunset spots in Niagara.
🚗 But don’t get me in more trouble if you visit. Please use the paid parking lot and avoid parking on nearby streets or blocking driveways.
📍 Sunset Beach, St. Catharines
🕘 8:30 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Would you watch the sunset here?

❤️ Save this post for your summer adventures… stay tuned for more great spots.
✨ Niagara-on-the-Lake is ridiculously charming. Surrounded by wineries. Great local shops, and more than a few ghosts haunt this historic town.
✨ Dundas is surrounded by nature, great hikes and waterfalls, plus a cute downtown. Stop by for a yoga class with me!
✨ Port Dover is a laid back beach town with some of the best local eats that you’ll find. Just avoid Friday the 13th when up to 200,000 bikers decide to visit.
Will you visit Ontario this summer?

💜 Until September 20, ANCHORBALL: A Curious Art Journey has transformed Hendrie Park into a colourful outdoor adventure. 
👉 Wander through the gardens discovering playful, larger-than-life sculptures tucked among the blooms.
😊 Each character has a QR code to scan, unlocking a backstory. 
💕 It’s part art exhibit, part scavenger hunt, and a wonderful excuse to explore these gorgeous gardens.
