It's been a little while since I've been here and it was my first time in winter. It was cold! We had dinner at an AYCE buffet that was reserved for staff and their guests. Choices included turkey, breaded chicken, noodles, veggies, nachos, and more. The food was decent but our overall favourite was the squash soup - good flavour and perfect for the cold weather. After dinner, we wandered through the park, taking in some of the attractions. I was surprised to see so many of them open at this time of year, including one of the roller coasters. Huge kudos to the staff who were out in the frigid weather, especially in their costumes, and unheated attractions! Although WE were frozen, guests were having a great time, ice skating, enjoying all the attractions, especially the daily tree lighting show, and the food, even the frozen drinks! We had a great time but I could/should have dressed warmer. Next time...

Well basically I'm a huge Toronto nerd and love to go check out all the cool quirky things the city has to offer- one of them being the wacky houses! This one is located in Leslieville just east of Pape on Queen. Once you turn onto Bertmount just keep walking, you obviously can't miss it! It's really cool! Maybe a little freaky to some but I definitely appreciate the efforts put into it! Because it's October they also had some Halloween decorations in there!

I would drive down to Barangas (for a fancy meal) or the ice cream place (for a cheap meal) instead. We did the bumper cars, outdoor laser tag, and miniature golf at Adventure Village. They were OK. Nothing to write home about. Our 8-year old daughter did the rock climbing wall too. The mini golf course was pretty short and the holes were not that impressive. The bumper cars were actually pretty fun despite the small area. The laser tag course was pretty big and they tell you who "won" at the end.

The best thing about it is that it's located inside a mall which is good for rainy and snowy days. The mall and the park itself is run down. It seems as if they don't invest in fixing their rides. We've been there a few times. The same rides at least 5 or 6 of them were broken / not functional. That is something that needs improvement and perhaps renovation. It's a good place for kids between 3 - 7 years old to burn off their energy. I wish there was an indoor amusement park like this closer up town in like Richmond Hill or Vaughan. I would still consider coming back again just so my kids can enjoy it again.

There is not one but several ports of entry. I followed Google Maps and that's the port I used. Another tip that will save you some $. Drive one more street (Yong St. toward Kibo Sushi) and you will find a parking lot that charges $20 from 6am-6pm versus the one near the Jack Layton Perry Dock that charges $20 for 2 hours! Come really early as initially we had difficulty finding a parking that would fit our SUV (w/o scratching ours and others' cars!) When we complained and were about to leave, the parking attendant found us a better space that had more room. We came with our toddler (2.5-ish) just for her. I agree with sentiment of some other reviewers that the rides could use an upgrade. If it's first time your kid is riding, I would sit with them on slower rides. At least they had some animals (rabbits, donkey, horses, sheep?, goats, and Llamas). Food is the same that you would expect anywhere in an amusement. Pizzas, burgers, fries, etc. etc. Important note: When going back, you will see "Water Taxi" signs and "Ferry". Do not stand in massive line for Ferry. We waited almost an hour then decided to ditch the line and it didn't take us much time to get a water taxi instead. There were few people and in very short time, enjoyed our ride back. Kudos to the water taxi companies. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Tip - if drive out of the lot and turn right, there is a lane way that takes you to the parking. The process for check in was smooth and we were led to start of the trail. They only allow a handful to go in each time. Here is my honest review. Do I think it was worth the price? Hm some aspects yes and others not so much. The story is you are in the future etc and through out the walk the story really was not captivating. Some features especially at the beginning were absolutely mesmerizing and others not so much. I have done a similar experiences else where and this was underwhelming. Overall, it was a calming experience but I will not return to experience again.

But fear not, what if I tell you of an event with unlimited photo opportunities and filter friendly imagery, while being outdoors and compliant with all social distancing restrictions. Terra Lumina is a marvelous lightshow, perfect for taking and tagging photos. Located within the Toronto Zoo and run by Moment Factory, it's 1.5km of beautiful light effects that glitter, glow, pulsate, and illuminate. It is a night walk experience that surrounds you with video projections, immersive storytelling, and ambient sounds and music. This year's theme centered around being the change today for a better tomorrow. There were light fixtures that made you feel like you were in a future world where nature rebounds and thrives, while music created by Indigenous artists created the perfect backdrop. While we couldn't see any animals, the zoo was the perfect place to convey the message about saving the earth. Even if options weren't limited right now, this was a wonderful event with a poignant message in the perfect setting. For $30, we had a beautiful experience for about an hour and a half...and of course, some really fantastic pictures to post on social media.

It's always been a charming, manageable park with reasonable wait times. You can easily hit both the amusement park and the waterpark in one day, which is a huge win. Compared to Canada's Wonderland, which I also grew up going to, we definitely prefer Darien Lake now. Wonderland's crowds are out of control, and it's just not worth the hassle anymore. At Darien Lake, you actually get your money's worth. The coaster lineup is solid for a smaller park, with highlights being: Ride of Steel Tantrum Viper The Predator Plus lots of other fun rides scattered throughout the park. As for the waterpark, it was just okay this time. The Lazy River is fairly basic, and two of the more popular slides were running slowly, causing bottlenecks. Not sure why, but the water was freezing cold, especially on slides like Tornado, still a great ride, but would've been more enjoyable with slightly warmer water. Yes, the park is a bit dated in areas and could use some TLC, but despite that, Darien Lake continues to be a lovable and worthwhile spot. Whether you're going for nostalgia or just want a fun, full day without the chaos of bigger parks, this place still hits.
