Need some ideas and inspiration to kickstart the Fall season? There are plenty of affordable, activities to get involved in as well as beautiful scenery in and near Toronto.

Here are affordable & fun fall activities to do in and near Toronto.
Albion Hills Conservation Area
Located in Caledon, take a hike, a run, or even a bike ride around the beautiful area and breathe in the fresh air. Have a picnic surrounded by the colour-changing leaves. Obsessed with the area? Grab your tent and take a camping trip for a couple of nights.
Leslieville Farmers’ Market
A fresh produce farmers market is just what you need for the fall time. Free to enter, browse around veggies, fruits, and more.
