We came on a Sunday morning just after 10 am and the zamboni was finishing up on the rink. The rink got progressively busier the longer we stayed. A lot of families came with young children learning how to skate. There were also some teenagers zipping around the rink and generally taking up a lot of space while everyone tried to skate at a leisurely pace. There's plenty of paid parking nearby or alight at North York Centre station if taking the subway.

    We were looking for a less notable (and hopefully less busy) rink to go skating at in Toronto. Mel…read moreLastman Square came to mind. During the summer the rink is a shallow man-made pond and in the winters it becomes an ice rink. Parking around here can be a little tricky in the winter due to all the snowbanks that are taking up the street parking. There is free parking on Sundays till 1pm on some of the side streets nearby, just heed the parking signs. We arrived around 10am and were just in time to see the Zamboni come out to resurface the ice. There are some benches around the rink where you can put your skates on and leave your belongings. There aren't really any indoor facilities that you can go into to warm up but there is a Starbucks nearby where you can grab a hot chocolate. It did get busier as the day went on and about 12pm was the peak time we saw most people there.

    Rinx was the venue of the first Yelp event I attended a couple years ago, and I was back recently…read morefor a staff townhall/fun day. The conference room they have is quite nice and holds up well to many other venues. There were issues with the wireless mic working properly for a bit at the beginning however. The food was probably the lowest point and they may wish to consider stepping up their options for groups like the one we had, depending on how serious they are to have corporate groups come in. With that said, Rinx has nearly a dozen separate activities and they deserve credit for pulling that off. The bumper cars/whiffle-ball game was almost universally regarded as one of the favourites. I hadn't played laser tag in nearly two decades, but it was fun doing it again and the arena they had for it was up there with most I played in back in the day. Everyone loves bowling, and the games room is an easy crowd pleaser with: air hockey, fussball, pool etc...There's a few others as well, and about the only one that was a bit poor was the mini golf which felt like they designed it as a bit of an afterthought. There is also a roller rink, though it was not used for the event. The staff did their job, but could do better at smiling and showing better customer service than just the basic level. There's a few things Rinx could improve upon, but they still deserve a lot of credit for offering so much, and surely something for everyone. It's worth checking out for sure.

We sampled some cupcakes cookies waffles on a stick corn dogs, and what carnival is complete without cotton candy! The beers we sampled from Mill Street and Amsterdam were delicious thank you so much to all of the vendors. Thank you so much for organising this fun Yelp carnival event. I hope I'm lucky enough to be invited back again next year.
