    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.

    We went last summer and my son has been asking to go back ever since…read more They space out entry times so that it's not overcrowded. Tickets are pricey but it's a one-time visit. 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.

I went in to renew plates and after standing in line for 10 minutes and as the place was about to officially close (but everyone in line would be served) realized I didn't have the insurance information written on the form. I asked one of the employees standing near the door (& doing nothing else) to go to the car in the parking lot and get the info. She said because it was 5pm right then they were officially closed and no in and out. She said I had to call a friend to come to my car and get the info out for me and pass it in through the door...seriously. I spoke to the supervisor and explained the situation hoping to get some human rational thought and compassion but was told the same thing. My friend got there 10 minutes later and passed me the insurance info...there was no one left in line (yes, I would have already been done had they let me get the info out of the car myself) so I walked up to the counter and was told I didn't even need the insurance information since it was all in the computer!!! Not only are they inhuman, unreasonable jerks in this place they are incompetent ones. There was literally no need for my buddy to be dragged out to the parking lot to begin with! I would think the supervisor of a place like this would know such details...guess not. Our government employees at work for us, I guess.

Everyone and their mama was waiting to use the bathroom i actually needed! Then when I start to open a door to one of the bathrooms because I cut everyone off since i actually needed it... there's 2 girls in the bathroom just taking pictures!

We were told by a security verbatim... "security lost control and no one knows what going on..." we can see no one knows what's going on!! They had people in wheelchairs, other amputees, broken feet, broken legs having to "walk" 2 miles to the train station!!! This is sickening and disgusting! Help the people that actually need it and get everyone off the shuttles that don't! I am so pissed off! I'm supposed to go to Chris Brown and Usher in August and they really need to get this together!!

    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.

Parents: Human Moves Day Camp is expanding to a second camp location in the summer of 2021. Both sports camps are situated within beautiful natural park settings. Our original sports camp is at The Hangar and Downsview Park. Our new day camp location is at The Leo Baeck Day School and Cedarvale Park. 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.

I do appreciate that this station has multiple access points across campus, especially since has one close to the Seneca Polytechnic buildings as well. It's roomy and has elevators and escalators in addition to stairs to the train platform. There are numerous machines to load your Presto card. There are a decent number of gates, but it's a real piss when they malfunction. Last it happened to me, I approached a second time and was let through; and yet, when I boarded my bus at VMC station, I was charged $4.00 instead of the $3.30 I should have had deducted at York University station. Never had problems like this with tokens. I don't use the subway a lot, but my taxes went into thus system, and I'm not overly impressed. Could be worse, I guess.

I didn't need to take the subway anywhere that night. I may try it sometime. Parking after 6 pm on campus at the York Lanes lot on weekdays is $8 and is good till 6 am the following day. It's not bad to take a break driving downtown by simply parking here and taking the subway. (128)
