๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Great place to shoot pictures of Torontoโ€™s skyline. Nice ride by ferry (cost only a few bucks) from which also great pictures can be taken.

    Excellent spot to enjoy the Toronto skyline from the islands. It looks majestic all times of the day..be it daytime, dawn, dusk, sunset or night . The lake Ontario and the skyline create the perfect composition for this magical view . Highly recommend to enjoy sunsets and skyline view of the city.

    This place should be good for sunset direction but in my opinion walk to the central island side and you see way more better view points than this. We went there because we wanted to hope on the ferry right after the dark so I opted for the beach area

    Stunning views, especially at sunsets. Even with a bit of clouds the sunsets are still spectacular. Best spots to view them are at 1) Toronto Islands 2) Tommy Thompson Park. 3) Park Lawn Lakeshore West

    Awesome view of the skyline at night. This is also the terminal where one of the ferries will pick you up so I would suggest ending your stay at center island here so you finish with an amazing view

    OMG, this view is truly mesmerizing and gorgeous. Luckily, the weather was very good today, so we were able to see such a beautiful scenery. People who live in Toronto or even those who are traveling should definitely come here to see it, it's very beautiful. Iโ€™ll definitely be back in August or even sooner.

    Toronto skyline can be seen from Toronto Island and on the ferries. View never gets old no matter how many times I see it. Although it's not the most amazing skyline in the world, I still call it home. Also it's cool to see airplanes land and takeoff from Billy Bishop Airport in front of the skyline.

    One of the best spots to sit and watch the Toronto skyline specially at sun. Walking distance to a restaurant if youโ€™d like to grab a beer too. Me, Misch and Theo went there after a day at the beach to shoot afew photos for pregnancy album.

    This is a far cheaper way of seeing the skyline than some tour! Simply buy a ferry trip to Wards Point, and walk around all you want. Nice little bar / Cafe on the island.... excellent

    Great view of Toronto skyline from this spot. Night time would be even prettier. Take the ferry to go to center island for this view

    I enjoy taking different types of transportation when I travel and can never pass up a ferry, even in the middle of winter. It did take us two tries to take the ferry because we missed our first train and were late to the ticket office. Fortunately, we hadn't bought tickets in advance. Once we came back after lunch, we took the ferry. There was a local driving their car and a few on bikes along with other tourists like us. We started inside the boat on a bench, because of the cold wind, but I had to get outside for the view. The boat ride took less than 10 minutes and was fairly smooth. We docked, disembarked, found someone to take our photos with the skyline, and got back on to return. The other tourists all walked further onto the island, but we didn't feel like a cold weather hike without urban amenities. Great views, though!

    Amazing views. Downtown is bustling with energy and always busy. The only turn-off is continuous construction ๐Ÿšง.

    Solid views of the skyline, quiet area and clean. It's well worth stopping by here if you're on the island to spend some time and relax. Definitely buy your ferry ticket online and skip the long lines.

    Amazing Toronto views ๐Ÿ˜ for a very small Ferry prices Asides that island itself is very beautiful with forests, cosy lake embankments, nice bars and lovely houses

  • 4/5 Nic P. 10 months ago on Google
    It's very scenic and most picture worthy during sunrise,sunset and night time. We took a ferry boat ride from Jack Layton (9.11 for adults). And the prices I've seen is around 12 dollars for the private boats. So far its is less crowded in the after noon. And most attractions are in center island. I prefer the skyline view at Han Lan Island as it is closer to it and right next to Billy Bishop Airport, so capturing planes in your photo adds more to the beauty of it.

    Wow! Amazing ๐Ÿคฉ From ferry it gives a memorable view! One will cherish the spectacular view! The sparkling towering residential and commercial towers in downtown Toronto present themselves a lovely sight. Experience is better than description.

    The Toronto skyline is a captivating blend of modern architecture and iconic landmarks. The majestic CN Tower stands tall, dominating the cityscape, while sleek skyscrapers create a harmonious balance. The interplay of lights during the evening transforms the skyline into a mesmerizing tapestry, reflecting the dynamic energy of Canada's largest city. Overall, Toronto's skyline is a testament to architectural prowess and urban sophistication. โค๏ธ

    One of the main spot to see the Toronto skyline though I donโ€™t think itโ€™s the best place. Youโ€™re looking at the skyline from a slightly right angle. Plus itโ€™s usually a little bit crowded here.

    Went there at 9pm on a summer evening and took the last ferry back at 11.30 pm or 11.45pm, not sure. But was great. Lo fi music on, a joint rolled and few jack and coke pre mixes.

    First time in this place following some recommendations from other photographers, this is a great spot to take photos of the Toronto skyline. The ferry ride to get there is smooth. Be aware of mosquitoes and bugs.

    One of the best places to see Toronto skyline is from Ward's island. The ferry is inexpensive, just $8 CAD round trip

  • 5/5 Denise M. 9 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Nicole G. 11 months ago on Google
    Stunning, great views, great food and so much to do with entire family. Tons of options for transportation as well so no need to worry about driving and parking.

  • 5/5 Adrian S. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty amazing photo location, especially at night. Just take the ferry and you'll be right next to the photo spot where you'll find benches to sit on aswell. The view is breathtaking at any time of the day but if you ask me you'll get the best pictures and vibes if you come just before the sun sets.

  • 5/5 Vedant P. 10 months ago on Google
    The view of the Toronto skyline from Ward's Island is absolutely breathtaking! You can see the entire skyline and it looks especially beautiful during sunset. It's definitely worth the trip to see it for yourself.
