Hotel chain Premier Inn released a study about the best places to take in the spring sights around the world as well as in Canada. The company analyzed over 34,000 Tripadvisor reviews with the keyword "spring" for 295 popular tourist destinations.

Four Ontario spots made the top 10 places for springtime in Canada. Toronto's High Park came in at number four, Burlington's Royal Botanical Gardens at number eight, Point Pelee National Park at number nine, and Toronto's Edwards Gardens in tenth place.

High Park draws huge crowds each spring season with its stunning cherry blossom display. The flowers typically bloom late April to early May.

Point Pelee National Park is located at the southernmost point of the Canadian mainland and boasts sandy beaches and stunning nature trails. The park is famous for its spring and fall bird migration.

Edwards Gardens is another Toronto spot to visit during the spring. It features wildflowers, roses, and more and is a dreamy place to escape the bustle of the city.
