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...

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.

They offer a few selections of coin exchange. For $90+ you can get their membership which gives you a better coin exchange rate and you can trade in your prize for other prizes behind the counter. We were just visiting so we did not get the membership. The prizes in the machines were decent. The plush were soft. My son loves the construction car's machine. For 2 coins you grab a car in the pile of cars in the middle and it drops it off on the platform to the side. Then jt gets pushed by the moving platform. When you have enough cars built up it will eventually fall down and you can pick up the fallen cars. Good place to kill some time and have some fun with my kid.

They ask that you book a time slot for your entry time but you can stay as long as you like! There are: - 4 different short 15 min 4D (you get wet!) movies included with admission that run every 15-20 mins. - 2 rides - Merlins Apprentice and Blast Trolls (very cool wherein a cart moves you through a series of missions where you use a laser gun to shoot at targets). -a small, dark play structure (where kids are encouraged to keep your shoes on?). Could be brighter and bigger. -Many lego build opportunities! Build your own race car and test them on various tracks. A small play area with a slide and large soft legos for toddlers. - food for purchase -a lego store at the exit -and so much more!

This Legoland discovery centre is located in Vaughn mills. Parking is chaos on weekends so beware…read moreif you're driving. The closest entrance is #4. The Legoland starts with a room with a few machines detailing how Lego pieces are made, a bit advanced for younger kids but interesting. The first area is then a shooting game ride which last about 5 min. It's short enough to keep the line moving and keep kids attention. Then you enter mini land which is quite impressive with regards to details. Not all the displays were working but overall fun to see. The main area has several sections. There's a 4d cinema that has shows every 30 min with 4 rotating shows. Prepare to get spray with water in the shoes. There's 2 play buildings with slides and 1 smaller one for younger kids. There's 4 building stations with mock earthquake stations, a big mega blocks play area, a few smaller LEGO stations. They have master created classes every hour. There's one more ride that goes in circles. There is a cafeteria with marked up standard food. They do serve Starbucks coffee. A note you can't bring any outside food in. If your kid is old enough, there's lots to do for them and at the cost of 40$ for 1 adult and 1 kid, it's alright. I wouldn't recommend it for young kids as there are many activities they won't be able to do.

Other than that... it is a great day out.

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! Definitely a cool place to check out..yes it might be weird to some but hey everybody is entitled to express themselves in any way they like.

Absolutely immersive. The massive tanks showing how communities of fish live together are impressive, but the Dangerous Lagoon is the crown jewel. There is a slow-moving treadmill through the tunnel pro tip: just stay on it and look up. Seeing the sharks and rays glide over you is a core memory. Staff & Service: Top-notch. The staff is not only friendly but incredibly knowledgeable. They are very proactive about animal welfare, constantly reminding the crowd to turn off their flashes to protect the creatures. Educational Value: We caught two of the diver shows where they feed the animals. It's amazing to hear them talk about sustainability and how our daily decisions impact these animals' lives for years to come. Crowd: It gets crowded fast! Even as early birds, we weren't alone. However, the layout is so well-organized that the flow of people keeps moving. Food & Amenities: After the shark tunnel, there's a convenient coffee shop and washrooms located in the basement. It's the perfect spot to take a breather. Transportation: Location couldn't be better. It's incredibly accessible you can easily walk if you're downtown, or take the bus/train (TTC) to Union Station. It's right in the heart of the action. Cost: Definitely worth the price of admission for the quality of the exhibits and the message of conservation they share. I got my pass with Citypass. Bottom Line: Whether you are a solo traveler or with a group, this is a 10/10 experience. Don't forget to skip the flash and enjoy the view

This one-star is ONLY for the ticketing experience via Get Your Guide…read more I had a frustrating experience with ticketing that other visitors should be aware of. I purchased tickets through GetYourGuide under the assumption that they were standard aquarium admission. However, when we arrived, we were informed that the tickets were actually for a "Sharks After Dark" event. This distinction was not clearly or prominently disclosed during the booking process--it was buried in a way that an average customer could easily miss. The staff member scanning our tickets immediately recognized the issue and mentioned that this confusion happens frequently. That was surprising and concerning, as it suggests this is a known, ongoing problem that has not been addressed. What made the situation more frustrating was the lack of accountability. GetYourGuide directed us to the aquarium for resolution, while the aquarium redirected us back to GetYourGuide. This back-and-forth left us without a clear path to resolve the issue. Overall, this reflects poorly on both the ticketing platform and the aquarium. Clear communication and transparency are essential, especially when selling different types of admission. I recommend double-checking ticket details carefully before purchasing, and I hope both parties improve this process to prevent similar experiences for others. Make sure to buy the right ticket!
