    The newest station on line 1 north of the Wilson Yards and currently the most northern station on…read morethe Spadina side of line 1 also the terminus station on the west side as well. The previous terminus (Wilson) has the multiple parking lots and much more parking since it was the previous end of the line just on the other side of the 401 at the much busy Yorkdale complex. Downsview station located at the south east corner of Allen and Sheppard is where Sheppard makes that dramatic detour around the Downsview airport runway near Chesswood. This station does have a north side entrance as well as a kiss and ride pickup area with actual parking spots instead of a rotary type hub like Finch or Kipling. Access to the parking and drop off area is accessible at the access road just east of Allen on the south side of Sheppard and access to just the parking lot is also available on the east side of Allen south of Sheppard. The parking lot at Downsview seems rather small but with room to grow if needed. Now that Downsview will no longer be the terminus station for this leg of line 1 after the extension to Vaughan is complete it's yet to be determined if more parking is even required. The station is has a large surface area for buses on both sides of the bus depot. The bus depot services quite a few bus routes from here: 84 Sheppard West begins west of Sheppard station (at Yonge) along Sheppard and crosses at Allen while remains on Sheppard to Weston road where it loops back around at Bradstock and Rivalda before heading back east. 101 Downsview Park is a very short route that simply goes around the Sheppard hump turns left on John Drury to Carl Hall road into the park. 104 Faywood runs between Downsview and Wilson stations. It takes a route from Wilson from Ansford to Faywood which turns into Wilmington north of Sheppard to Finch Ave, goes west to Dufferin and then turns to Kennard and down to Wilson Heights and then back to Sheppard to Downview station. 105 Dufferin North runs into Vaughan and requires additional fare when north of Steeles avenue. This route runs north on Dufferin and loops at Confederation parkway and then east on Rutherford road before turning back south again. 106 York University runs west along the Sheppard hump and then north on Sentinel road to York University main campus in a clockwise direction meeting The Pond road at six o'clock and Ian Macdonald before turning back to Sentinel going south. 107 Keele North has many variants but for the most part the 107C is the main route which makes its way west along the Sheppard hump through the industrial area near Tuscan Gate toe Keele and then north as far as Teston road in Vaughan. Same as the 105 additional fare is required north of Steeles avenue. 108 Downsview main run 108B runs west on the Sheppard hump to Arleta avenue and up Driftwood north of Finch to Strong Court and then briefly along Jane street before turning right back onto Driftwood again before heading south bound. 117 Alness runs up Allen/Dufferin to a dedicated bus roadway that runs parallel and north of Finch Ave to Alness up to Steeles and bakc down Dufferin. This route around the roadway and Alness runs clockwise before 3pm and counter clockwise after 3pm. As for the train platform it's long and wide with an arched roof. The trains on line 1 of course are wider than the Bloor/Danforth line 2 but the design of this station lends to more space and feels much more open than a majority of the older stations in the TTC system.

    This is probably the nicest subway station in Toronto. At least it will be for a couple years until…read morethey add the York U extension. The ceilings are high, the decor is modern, and there is tons of space. Even when the station is packed you still feel like you have room to breathe. The convenience store here is an actual store that you can walk into, unlike the counter style stores at most stations.

Parking is fairly easy and the facility is accessible although some exhibits are not. Also, when we visited some of the exhibits were not functioning. The exhibits that were working were therapeutic for adults and fun for kids. The pictures accurately depict what you're going to see. IG photo stations are available for that perfect viral photo. There is something for everyone. For my infant daughter is lulled her into a deep sleep. For my son, it gave him lots of fun adventures and for the adults, I wish they has a spa that incorporated some of those elements (that's how relaxed I felt). I don't know how long the exhibit will be in the city; however, definitely worth a visit.

The place is huge, and they have coat check for a fee. Tickets were pretty expensive for what was offered. Only thing my children enjoyed was the bubble pit and the sea of balloon filled room. More for IG pictures and to take your date to. On the other half of the building are dinosaurs themed. Other than the expensive tickets for admission, everything else came with a price tag. Came here once, wouldn't come back again.

    My first experience at Rogers Stadium was pretty good overall as someone with B6 R15 S24 floor…read moreseats and paid parking. My friends and I got parking through Ticketmaster for $50 and splitting that with 3 people was well worth it, and made the whole night way less stressful compared to taking the TTC and walking double the amount. Parking itself is new and was very well organized too. There were staff everywhere directing traffic and helping cars move into the lot as it filled up. From the parking lot, it was about a 7 - 10 minute walk to the stadium and to pass security one hour before the show. There were multiple gates open and I entered through Gate 2. Security moved pretty quickly as long as you had a smaller bag. They also allow empty plastic bottles that you can refill inside. There were tons of food vendors, although everything was definitely overpriced, so I'd recommend eating beforehand. Finding seats was easy since there were workers around every section helping people out altho the stickers of numbers are on the back of the seat rather than the front and would imagine it be more difficult to find if it became darker, and filled with people. There is no space between the chairs though. The actual concert experience was good. The sound quality was solid, the screens were super HD, and the view from my section was ok - everyone standing most of the time. But I can't imagine being farther because it would've been way more difficult to see. The biggest downside was leaving after the show. Once everyone starts exiting at the same time, it gets extremely crowded. At some points people were pushing into each other and I even saw people trip and fall because some areas were dark and there were signs or objects in the walking paths. That part definitely could've been handled better. Once we finally got back to the parking lot, police and security were directing traffic well. Overall, the process was smoother than I expected for such a large crowd. We left our floor seats around 10:45 p.m. and found the car by 11:10 p.m. My friends in the 100s section left around the same time and made it back to the car by 11:15 p.m. We were on the highway by 11:30 p.m. and made it home around midnight. Pro tips: wear comfy shoes, eat before arriving, bring a jacket (it was super windy), bring a small bag (mine was the lululemon everywhere belt bag) and an empty water bottle to refill inside!

    Hrrmmm. I'm…read morewaffling between 2 and 3 stars and ultimately landing on 2 because tho Roger's Stadium was the location of one the 2 best nights of my life but since that wholly had to do with the band, not the venue, I'll stick to an objective review of the place: this was one of the worst and weirdest venues I've ever been to in over 30 years of concert going in multiple countries. We came for the two nights of Oasis. I knew things would be a bit dodgy given the stadium wasn't even standing when we bought our tickets 9 months out from the show but even leading up to the week of the show I didn't know what to expect. All I had heard is that it's in the middle of nowhere, getting in and out is a nightmare, and to wear comfortable shoes. ALL TRUE! I hesitate to use the word "stadium." It's more like a series of bleachers with a stage on one end (Liam Gallagher called it "legoland" and he wasn't wrong!). Word on the street is they're going to be using this space for up to 4 years and I'll be surprised if the current infrastructure lasts even 2. It's also located in the middle of a former airfield. So walking from the train or any of the main roads is basically a mile/1.6km walk down what is literally a landing strip. There is nothing around, just concrete and fields! Since there isn't much around they built their own "fan plaza" which opens an hour/2 hours before gates to the actual stadium open. And I'll admit this was kind of fun since it lent a bit of a festive air to the already buzzing Oasis reunion vibes. Oasis took full advantage of the plaza, setting up multiple merch stores, painting the ground with logos and "Live 25" and also had multiple photo ops throughout. The venue itself also has a lot of food options and a small Ferris wheel. Now, the food options aren't particularly GOOD but they're there! Because we got there when fan plaza opened we were able to get bracelets to be in the front section of the GA floor the first night. They don't let you take any bottles or anything in, instead they give you plastic cups to pour your water/other drinks into. So things were a little chaotic as folks were grabbing cups and pouring beer and whatnot. We didn't have drinks to take in so it wasn't bad for us but it was kind of annoying. I get they don't want people throwing bottles on stage but man, all those single use cups on top of the cans and bottles? So wasteful! Anyway, the show was incredible. Our spot was aces. It started pouring rain half way through and I will say this is one time the concrete was actually ok because it didn't get muddy! Fireworks were shot off without a hitch and the crowd was good vibes and full of joy the whole time. Night two we came to the venue later so we weren't in the pit and stood a little further back but that vantage point was still pretty good. Exiting both nights was the biggest pain I think. Night one was worse since we were in the front, meaning last out. It's just a giant crush of people all making their way to one exit: the train station. They had staff essentially playing red rover with us letting groups through in chunks to keep the stations from getting too overwhelmed. I will say the trains did as best as they could given the volume and rides out are free which kept the line moving pretty good. There was no real easy way to get to our hotel from here so in the end we took a train to a station a little further out and grabbed a Lyft there the rest of the way. Oh, also the bathroom situation? Not great! Port-o-potties galore. And my husband reported that they did have a "men's room" which were essentially a line of open air urinals, like a trough. Cool cool! As we were exiting all the fencing was lined with dudes just free peeing so, that was fun. Ugh. So yeah, not my favorite. Props to the staff though who made a pretty crappy venue run as smoothly as it could be. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. It's just the place is SO WEIRD!! The shows themselves were incredible but that was in spite of where they were held, not because of it.

    Still one of the top escape places in gta!…read more Decor: 5* They have talented artists that decorate the hallway, outside theme doors, and an immersive setting in the escape room. I'm surprised they haven't won more awards for their rooms or close contender bragging rights. Clue: 4* Some rooms have hints on a screen and follows your progress based on where you've progressed. Some rooms are a white button and they'll come into your room to assist you, no walkie talkies thank goodness! Lighting 3* They feel it is enough and the main focus clues are properly illuminated. We feel it's still too dark to read some clues like book titles and request their flashlight every time. Staff 5* All staff here over the years have been awesome! Friendly, passionate,mature and all game lovers themselves. Game puzzles 3*-5* Some are well done, clever and creative. no locks and combos and they progressed to top of the line puzzles. We did find not all were well timed and one finale puzzle just plain lazy as if they lost their puzzle maker. We've done almost all their rooms and even ones they've replaced. The Missing Will: so much potential at the start but with an unsatisfactory end! It's like they ran out of time or money as the puzzles did not compare. The ending was too sudden and we stood there having won but confused this was it instead of their usual wrap up theme. It's not scary at all but with a supernatural theme. It's also perfect for larger groups or friends with adhd. The roles you pick can help give clues and hints for solving your character puzzles aside from the main ones. This is also what makes it frustrating for us, as we want to clear all puzzles and it's not possible/necessary. Pathogen: interesting how the game can change based on your progress, choices and hints. We won with a minute thirty to spare. Bring a friend that reads everything as ours rushed before following orders, one that isn't colour blind, and one that isn't afraid to go somewhere alone. Not scary on this room. Noriko: scary theme! For me it wasn't the doll props and flashy lighting but the background music and special effect noise. I couldn't concentrate very well as I found that triggering and this had the darkest rooms with poorest lighting at their establishment. Tip: Bring a friend that is musical, don't bring friends afraid of scary movies! Crossroads: dark thriller vibe, liked the choice to choose a decision to effect ending, the changing atmosphere to fit the evolving story and ending was fun. My friends liked this room a lot and played it two more times after our win and couldn't break out with the other two groups. Lounge: only standing room now. No board games offered anymore. They sell canned pop and waters, have 3 clean washrooms. Photo board is self run at the entrance on a timer but terrible angle and background. $10 off for back to back games. Free game on ACTUAL DAY of your birthday.

    July 2022 was the first time my son attended Human Moves. He was in the LIT program. I paid $1000…read morefor four weeks but was informed in the middle of the first week at the camp that my son was considered staff and was not a camper. Ariella stated that my son was not "leadership" material because he was coming late in the morning. I was the one dropping him off at camp. I didn't realize it mattered if he was a bit late since I assumed since I paid that he was a camper. No guidelines or expectations were given to the parents before camp started to know exactly what the role was for an LIT. My son used his cell phone a few times at camp just like the other kids and left early a few times. He was never told that was not allowed to do it. At the end of the first week of camp Ariella stated my son could not return because he was not "leadership " material, No guidance was given to my son. He had leadership at school this past year and the teacher told me on the last day that my son made a huge difference in some of the kids lives. My son helped a young child with insecurity issues to not be afraid to play basketball at recess when other kids were around. I was disappointed that my son was unable to return to Human Moved because I was given notice very last minute and I did not want my son home alone all summer while I was at work. However I believe everything happens for a reason. I was able to get my son into a sleepover camp where some of his friends were and it turned out to be an unbelievable experience and we moved on from Human Moves and never gave the camp much thought again. Until... On August 5, Friday after receiving a phone call from Ariella (Director) I was told that my 14-year-old son, was responsible for vandalizing camp property at least 9.2 kms from our home. This incident supposedly occurred at 2.30 am in the morning of August 2. I was told that the Leo Beck video showed a boy with My son's "build and hair" which is what this accusation is based on. It would be remiss for me to not add that my son is a racialized boy who stands out in that community. My son was not in that neighborhood at 2.30 am on August 2 vandalising property. My son went to a sleep away camp from July 18 and returned July 31. He returned extremely sick and contagious with an acute cough. I took off work and remained at home supporting him around the clock which is where he still remains while recovering. He has not left the house due to his physical contagious state since he arrived home on July 31st other than to visit the emergency room. I have been taking care of his needs throughout the day and night as a result of his physical condition. It breaks my heart that my kind boy had to experience at a young age the hatred that occurs in this world towards others that are different. It is a horrible feeling to be judged badly only because of a different skin colour. It is hard to believe the director is an orthodox women. Where is the love and understanding towards differences in children. Lashan Hara is a sin. Telling others about these accusations is gossip and it ruins my poor boys reputation, when he did nothing. I would have never given a review for the camp. Never wanted to cause problems, but the phone call I received tonight was so upsetting I needed to share what happens.

Chances are good that one or both camps are nearby if you live in or close to North York, Cedarvale Park, Forest Hill or the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Trained staff at both camps encourage kids to take part in fun and different sporting activities aimed at stimulating children's innate curiosity and promoting new skills while also making new friends in an inclusive and diverse day camp environment. Emphasis is placed on fostering self-confidence, problem solving, teamwork and cooperation. Our programs for campers are designed to keep children active, engaged, healthy and safe while also promoting healthy competition and good sportsmanship.
