It's easy to cool down in Toronto without hibernating inside with the air conditioning on at full blast. Instead of that admittedly boring strategy, there's plenty of fun ways to stay chilled while having a good time outdoors.
Here are my picks for fun ways to cool down this summer in Toronto.
Go swimming
The easiest and most satisfying way to cool down in the summer is jumping into a body of water. Toronto has 57 public pools to leap into as well impressive collection of accessible hotel pools, and, of course, beaches in and around the city too.
Ride on a waterslide
Hurtle yourself down a giant water slide. Try the new DrenalineDrop at Canada's Wonderland or the Wet 'n' Wild water park in Brampton.
Eat some ice cream
Perhaps the most delicious way to cool down this summer is grabbing an extravagant ice cream creation from one best ice cream and ice cream sandwich creators in the city. There's a great spot in pretty much every neighourhood and vegan options too.
Drink some local beer
Sitting with a tall pint in hand is another easy-breezy way keep calm and cool on a blistering summer day. Check out local brewpubs like Saulter Street, Goose Island, Eastbound Brewing Company and don't forget about the spots with retail shops so you can take beer home with you.
Slurp boozy slushies
There's nothing like a good brain freeze to cool the body and mind down, and these boozy slushies filled with over-the-top additives and fruity ingredients should do trick.
Chill out in an ice house
Did you know the country's largest ice lounge is here in the city? If you need to go above and beyond air conditioning, consider hanging out with a cocktail in this cooler box and event space at Bathurst and King.
Level up your bubble tea with slush
Toronto is teeming with bubble tea options, but the only way it's really going to help you on a steamy summer day is by adding slush. There are a few places that offer slushy, bubbly creations including Happy Lemon, The Alley, Real Fruit, and The Original at Market 707 on Dundas West.
Sip cold brew coffee
There are a ridiculous amount of great coffee shops in the city, but when it's close to 30 degrees, no one is looking for a piping hot Americano. These places to grab a cold brew will fill your body with ice cold caffeinated goodness.
Try stand up paddling on the Island
The best thing about trying Stand Up Paddling, or SUP, is that you might fall in the water. Toronto Island SUP teaches all types of classes to get you sailing on a surf board on the lake.
Eat ice cream pie
You read that correctly, you can buy a full ice cream pie at Ed's Real Scoop. Call ahead at any of their four locations (there's also one in Mimico) or walk in and see what's been baked and frozen that day.
