If you're looking for the best time to visit Vaughan, consider late spring or early fall.

Between June and August, plenty of visitors come to the area to experience the festivals and outdoor recreational activities.
The warm weather sticks around just a little longer in the fall. Average high temperatures in September are in the upper 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and by October they start to drop to the mid-50s.

Spent the day at Wonderland which was great.
Nothing. Same goes about the entire Greater Toronto. It looks like a giant wasteland. By driving along the streets, you don't see any restaurants, shops, public services; just offices, banks, hotels and construction sites. The only public swimming pool was in another city 25 km away. We did not see a single major chain grocery store, not even a MacDonald's. How do they live there?
