Admission to Far Enough Farm free. Located at Toronto's picturesque Centre Island, Far Enough Farm has been a popular tourist spot since 1959, making it one of the oldest attractions in the city. This is not just any petting zoo either; this is a fully functioning farmyard that welcomes visitors - young and old.
Centre Island lives up to its name by offering a variety of attractions, including picnic areas, beaches, sporting rentals and the Centreville Amusement Park. This park boasts more than 30 rides, a petting zoo and a charming boating lagoon.
Once on the islands, you can bike, hike or swim your way around the beaches and walking paths. There's Centre Island Beach (the family favourite), Gibraltar Point Beach, Hanlan's Point Beach and Ward's Island Beach, each with its own unique vibe.
