    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.

    Something about the bus platform makes me get turned around every time I'm in here, which,…read moreconsidering it's the route I take to go to work, is pretty fricking often. I get off the bus and I don't know where the stairs are, I don't know where to get on the other bus, I don't know where I am, and it takes about 30 seconds to figure it out. Please note, I do not normally have a bad sense of direction. It's just that the signage is right above each door or outside, which makes it difficult to scan the whole 2-store bus area. The subway platform is somewhat exposed to the elements: whipping winds in the winter, humid heat in the summer, etc. since the subway station is above ground. There are these little clever cubbies that you can hang out in, but they get awkward if you're in there with a stranger. The bus platform is a bit far from the subway platform, but whatever. We all need some exercise anyway.

    If you drive, this subway is an absolute mess. I recently parked in the main parking lot and had no…read moreidea where to go. They eliminated the path from the parking lot to the ttc and I had to walk to street level and under a bridge to the entrance of the subway. I found this a little ridiculous. I really hope they fix the parking lot and reopen the old entrance but based on what I saw, I don't believe they will. Once inside, I wasn't sure where to go to catch the train. This subway is a complete mess and I wasted 10+ minutes parking and figuring out how to enter the subway. :O

    It was cute. The kids liked it. My main deduction for the star was it was super smelly. There was a…read morelot of construction going on and everything just smelled suffocatingly like dust and debris. Also, none of the staff really smiled at us. They look very bored at their job and did not seem welcoming at all. Oh, when we were in the ladies room, we saw a man in there. Good thing I was there with my daughter. Not sure if they need better signs for the different gender restrooms. The bubble fish area was cool. My kids liked coloring their fish papers and adding it to the digital wall.

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.
