Best Time to Visit Ontario

Ontario is full of attractions year-round, but depending on the season, you may get to experience different activities. Summer is perfect for swimming in the lakes, attending festivals and enjoying patios. With the arrival of Fall, the leaves change colour, and it becomes ideal for hiking. Ontario also becomes a winter wonderland, complete with holiday markets and winter sports. Spring offers fewer visitors to the area, and the activities are less expensive. What you decide is the best time to visit Ontario depends on what you enjoy doing the most. Whether it be hiking, sightseeing, or attending events, we are sure you’ll find something to do.
