What Are Some Toronto Bachelorette Party Ideas?

When you're looking for things to do in Toronto, the options are endless. The city is by the water, so bach parties can enjoy activities under the sun. Toronto is also a thriving city with fine fare and shopping options.

For the Art Enthusiasts

If you're into art, there's so much to experience throughout Toronto. The city is home to numerous galleries and museums, including the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA Toronto) and the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). In addition, there's a vibrant street art scene–fans of graffiti art will want to swing by Graffiti Alley.

For the Foodies

If your group is into the culinary scene, your time in Toronto will be action-packed. The city houses a variety of markets, food halls and shops, perfect for palette refinement. The St Lawrence Market is full of everything you can imagine, from international fare to standard (and beloved) options, including cheeses and pastries. Chefs Hall, a food hall near Nathan Square, offers a selection of culinary experiences in one building.

For the Beach Lovers

Summertime is exquisite in Toronto, especially for groups seeking respite and relaxation in an urban environment. Toronto is home to an area known as "The Beaches," and there are plenty to enjoy along Lake Ontario. In addition, regional island beaches are even more secluded, like Hanlan's Point Beach. If you're looking for specific suggestions, begin with Bluffer's, Woodbine and Centre Island Beach to name a few. Dip your toe into the frigid cold water–though you'll quickly understand why locals prefer to lay out.

For the Adventurous Set

If you're looking to include a little adventure on your bachelorette, see if your girls are up for trying the EdgeWalk. It's a truly unique experience that involves the CN Tower, and an external walk around the outside.

For Souvenir Collectors

There are so many great places to shop in Toronto. The CF Toronto Eaton Centre is the main mall where you can find some traditional stores. Winners is the Canadian version of TJ Maxx, with affordable prices and deals for days. Chinatown, Queen Street and Kensington Market are also places for souvenirs and little trinkets among the boutique shops (and some familiar stores) and stands.

Toronto Bachelorette Party Itinerary

When you're looking for Toronto bachelorette party activities, it can be intimidating to put together an itinerary, especially when catering to so many different personalities. Adding in a mix of everything can make every participant feel included. In short, there are plenty of things to do in Toronto for a bachelorette party to keep the whole group upbeat.

Day 1

Begin your day at Neo Coffee Bar, a local spot known for Japanese pastries, delicious sandwiches and memorable coffee drinks. After that, the group should venture over to one of the local museums especially if there's an interest in culture. After working up an appetite, you'll head to the St Lawrence Market, where the group can even look into a cooking class.

Enjoy lunch at Chef's Hall, near the Toronto sign at Nathan Phillips Square in the Financial District. Chef's Hall is known for bringing together some of the city's top baristas and chefs in one building, giving visitors and dedicated foodies access to a variety of culinary options under one roof. After lunch, discover the Distillery District. If your bachelorette is planned around the holidays, the Distillery District's holiday market is set up with food vendors and plenty of shops.

Head back to your hotel or Airbnb to get ready for a night of revelry. Enjoy dinner at Cluny Bistro & Boulangerie with a sizable wine list of nearly 200 bottles, scratch made dishes, raw bar items and a classy ambiance. If you're looking for something more casual, take a culinary tour with the Culinary Adventure Company. They will take you through some of the best neighborhoods in the city during a three-hour culinary tour (morning one's available, as well). After dinner, head to The Cloak Bar, filled with soft lighting and elegant cocktails.

Day 2

Start the morning in the Kensington Market area. The Kensington Market is full of eclectic, indie shops where you can find fun items, vintage goodies, art and plenty of bars and cafés. After, explore Toronto's Graffiti Alley to see some truly stunning murals and art located near Queen Street West. Shop along Queen Street, first, then convince your friends to courageously defy gravity with the EdgeWalk.

After suiting up, you'll head to the top of the CN Tower, nearly 356 meters in the sky, where you'll walk along the outside of the building with your harness secured. Individuals have the chance to hang off of the building, as well, if they want to test their fear of heights. (Pro tip: register ahead of time).

After that, you might need a drink and the beautiful bar in The Broadview Hotel on the Rooftop is the perfect place for a craft cocktail. End the evening with cocktails and dinner at The Civic with some delicious dishes like Beef Tartare with grilled sourdough, grain mustard, salty capers and dry aged beef fat aioli.

Day 3

Enjoy a delicious breakfast at The Broadview Hotel. Group photos (coupled with cute captions) are mandatory, especially within the bright, colorful dining room. Sip fresh squeezed juices and lattes and nosh on a smoked salmon platter for a terrific start to the day.

Head over to the Cheese Boutique after to peruse gourmet cheeses, jams, cured meats and more to bring to your beach picnic or pregame back at homebase. Once you've gathered snacks and drinks, explore Toronto's beaches and islands. On a warm day, you can relax on the sand, watching the kiteboarders whip by while reading a book. Bluffer's Beach, Hanlan's Point Beach, Woodbine and Centre Island Beach are all fantastic options. Head to the Toronto Islands for the day via the Centre Island ferry to Centre Island Beach.

Four Seasons Hotel Toronto: The Four Seasons within the city's Yorkville neighborhood is a fantastic, upscale option.

From the beautiful floral wallpaper in the rooms to the sun-soaked circular bar, there's character and plenty of photo opportunities in this beautiful boutique hotel built in the late 1800s.

Best Toronto Bachelorette Restaurants

Cluny Bistro & Boulangerie: Cluny is a great location, especially if you love wine. They were recognized by Wine Spectator for their sizable list of about 200 bottles. They're known for their raw bar and inspired take on French cuisine.

The Civic: This restaurant has a great atmosphere in addition to some tasty small plates to share. If you're looking for something on the lighter side, you can split a few appetizers. We recommend the crispy fried artichokes with mint salsa, lemon and bagna cauda, radishes with flaky salt and cultured butter, and the beef tartare with grilled sourdough, grain mustard, salty capers (and dry-aged beef fat aioli).

Rodney's Oyster House: If you're a seafood fan, Rodney's Oyster House should be on your list. They want to make sure that the seafood they're getting is incredibly fresh, so they actually have their own Federal Import Licenses to source lobsters, king crab, fresh fish and, of course, oysters themselves. Enjoy beautifully prepared fish, among other dishes like mussels, steamers, popcorn oysters, oysters and ceviche.

Best Toronto Bachelorette Bars

The Shameful Tiki Room Toronto: It doesn't look like much on the outside, but this tropical tiki room is full of fun cocktails and food. In addition to culinary options and cocktails, they often have live music, creating a beachy, tropical environment.

Cabana Poolbar: Open seasonally, this establishment is centered around a huge pool with private cabanas, food and DJs playing dance music. During the summer, this is a great option.

Track and Field: For a laid-back environment and a little something different, check out Track and Field. This bar is centered around lawn games like bocce ball and shuffleboard, but also has plenty of cocktails and a dance floor.
