7 Beautiful Places To See Cherry Blossoms In Toronto That Aren't High Park

Wander beneath floral canopies at these spots. 🌸
Lead Writer, Travel

High Park is always a hot spot for Toronto cherry blossoms, but you can also see these stunning flowers at so many other places around the city.

In a YouTube video, local sakura expert Steve Joniak said that "the warm weather has been a great help in continuing to move along the cherry blossom bud development," so you might be able to see the blossoms earlier than usual this year.
