If your kiddies love dinosaurs, then this is the place to be! We visited Jurassic Quest this past…read moreweekend in Toronto, the entire production travels from city to city in Canada and the US. Think the we're recently in Hamilton and Niagara as well, check their website to see if they're coming to a city near you. The first part of the experience were dinosaur exhibits. These were full-sized animatronic dinosaurs, some moved their heads or tails, while others were stationary. The lighting and set up were a nice touch. There were signs by the dinosaurs that listed some quick facts. There was a table with real fossils and there was an expert there to answer any questions that you might have. You can take as much or as little time as you want - my kids just wanted to get to the bouncy castles asap. As this event took place in the Enercare Center, hall A and B, there was lots of space. Unfortunately, they could've put more stuff in. There were only 5 bouncy castles, stationary dinosaurs that moved in place, ride-on dinosaurs that walked a bit, toddler battery operated jeeps, a toddler play area, excavation section (both to chip away at a piece of fossil and another sandbox like excavation area), inflated basketball/soccer area. We arrived at 3pm on a Saturday and it was packed. All the bouncy castles had long lines, like 10m wait for each one. The ride on dinosaur rides were equally as bad if not worse. The organizers should've either had timed entry or put in more attractions to alleviate the crowds. The souvenirs were ridiculous - $25 for a helium dinosaur balloon that cost 15 cents to buy from China. The admission wasn't cheap either - $27.50 for the basic admission (same price for adults and children), but your kid will want to do all the activities - so you can pay as you go per activity or pay $45 per child which includes admission and unlimited play. I did find that the lines were a whole lot shorter by 5:30/6:00pm. Overall, it was a fun experience, but for the price, I would've liked shorter lines and more attractions.

My son dreams of being active since we were there after only a couple times and he has the best attitude now.

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!

If you are planning a trip to Toronto, put Ripley's Aquarium at the top of your list. We made this…read moreour very first stop after breakfast, and even though we arrived early, it was already buzzing with people and honestly, I totally see why. The experience was phenomenal. 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

So I am born and raised Torontonians and had.never entered this aquarium til March 2026. Going in…read moreas a cynic of aquariums and have seen the likes of the Beijing and Singaporean facilities and Monterey Bay , I wanted to ensure animals were kept in healthy environments and also really had good positive learning experiences for children to promote a respect and wonder of the marine and freshwater systems around us. That said, I was really happily surprised by our Toronto aquarium offering! First off, staff were incredibly friendly and seemed happy to be there working and interfacing with the crowds. Was great to experience it and made lineups much easier to digest. We opted to partake in the stingray experience which was fantastic in our opinion. Detailed behind the scenes tour, along with meeting more behind the scene staffers was great and even my 8 yr old enjoyed it (Emily was a great guide!) The stingray experience itself was great and you are treatly extra special by staff. Our diver and feeder was AJ who was patient, accommodating and super Informative . Groups are small which is also a major plus. Our group of 4 had plenty of 1:1 time with the trainer and the stingrays were very curious and friendly and even seemed to splashing hello when we entered their environment. We were even given souvenir bags and towels and received 100+ downloadable digital images a spart of the package. Meal options on site were reasonably priced which was a nice surprise considering just next door at the ballpark we would easily be charged double for similar. We will definitely be going again and taking visitors from our of town there in the future!f
