Things to do in Toronto with kids

468 dated listings for school-age kids in Toronto in the next 60 days — after-school, camps, courses and youth sports, pulled from the town's real event feed and sorted by age, not by who paid to be first.

Kids life in Toronto — the short version

If you're raising kids in Toronto, this is the page that keeps up. Between Oct 7 and Nov 20, Toronto's feed lists 468 dated listings for this age — 108 different programs, covering after-school, camps, courses and youth sports. Most of it runs at Woodview Park branch (19) and Jones branch (13).

Everything here is a real listing from Toronto's own event feed, checked against each program's age range — a program whose ages overlap 5–12 shows up here even if it also fits the age next door. The library branches showing up for this age are Northern Elms Library and Thorncliffe Library.

Good to know

By the numbers for this age in Toronto: 468 dated listings in the next 60 days; 374 run after school on a weekday and 38 land on a weekend; the busiest single venue is Woodview Park branch with 19 of them.

On cost: none of these listings carries a free tag in Toronto's feed, so treat prices as check-the-listing — libraries and rec centres often run these at no cost, but the feed doesn't say so and we won't guess.

Drop-in or sign up? The listings that call themselves drop-in: 3D Printing Demo For Kids - Drop In, Glow in the Dark Spooky Charms (Ages 9-12, Drop in), Board Games Drop-In for Children, Drop In Chess & Games For Kids.

Common questions

What's on in Toronto for school-age kids right now?

The feed lists 468 dated listings for this age in the next 60 days, running Oct 7 to Nov 20 — the Coming up section is pulled straight from it.

Are these drop-in, or do I need to register?

It varies by program, and the page only says which is which where a listing's own words say so — the Good to know section names the drop-in and registration listings it found. When it doesn't say, the listing link is the place to check.

What's free for school-age kids in Toronto?

None of the current listings carries a free tag in the feed, so check each listing for its price — we don't mark anything free that the source doesn't.
