Went to playland today with the idea in mind that the passes we bought were for admission + rides…read more Nowhere on any sign on the premises, or on the website where you purchase tickets did it say we were paying for GENERAL ADMISSION only. We were unable to go on any rides, and one supervisor told us it was our fault because we didn't read the sign posted on the ticket booth (in person). I went to double check, and there was no signage posted indicating that we were paying for only general admission. It wasn't the staffs fault at all, as it does say no refunds, and all the staff were super pleasant and understanding, but we just wished that it was extremely clear that during certain weeks of the month, entrance was admission only. Was super upsetting to hear that. Again, staff were super pleasant and gave us some coupons to still get on rides, and we really appreciated it. While waiting for one of the roller coasters, a group of 4 young boys (approx 8 y/o) were cutting in line SPECIFICALLY in front of my boyfriend and I, and seemed to find it funny to do so. One of the boys moms saw this and looked at us and shrugged. She did NOTHING to discipline her children. These kids seemed to be targeting my boyfriend and I, and would only cut in front of us. At one point, they were climbing over the metal bars so they could get back in front of this. They didn't stop, so eventually I yelled at them once they started trying to SHOVE past us. We told the ride operator, and thankfully they weren't let on. Leaving the ride, the families of the kids were extremely rude to us and got mad at us, yelled at us and made gestures. Why is it our fault that your kids are extremely rude and have no manners? After yelling at the kid, they were laughing and smacking their butts at my boyfriend and I. I wish there was more security around, and that there were stricter policies on younger children being granted the privilege to ride in adult-majority spaces. Words can't describe how rude and disgusting these children and their families were being towards us. This entire experience made us not ever want to come back. I couldn't imagine if we had paid over $100 for entry + the ride pass and we had the same experience of these kids and their families harassing us. Absolutely disgusting.

Deserving of an updated 4 star review for still bringing amusement park fun plus mini golf, haunted…read morehouse, midway games, climbing wall and concert entertainment to the city in 2025. I had a blast on their thrill rides such as the OG wooden roller coaster which was built way before we were born in 1958...yup, its age does add an extra rocky and spooky element when you are on this ride. Their mini golf course was cute and with enough challenging designs for family fun. Hole in one at hole 16 and 17 was a thoughtful and encouraging design too. Paid parking available and free street parking is possible if you park further away. Staff is overall quite friendly. Vendor foods' costs are of course usually higher at an amusement park but hot dogs, burgers, pizza, donuts and cotton candy are the standard food options at an amusement park. Tips: Recommend to visit on a less sunny or even cloudy day to avoid the heat while in lineup. Do bring a hat or sunscreen on sunny days and stay hydrated. Look for online promotion when buying admission tickets for better value and please don't compare Playland to Disneyland. I chose to visit Playland when PNE is not open for less crowds and spent about half a day there. Put your hands up on the rides and scream for a good time :)

It was easy purchasing the tickets but a bit more challenging finding the entrance one floor up. We used the elevator. When you got off the elevator it directed you around the corner then the directions stopped. We found steps and decided to follow the famous advice from the movie, ghostbusters and take the steps up!! We eventually found the entrance. Signage would be helpful. We got there 10 minutes early and waited. The wait time from your assigned time is about 20 to finally get in..bring a book. They said next up was a safety briefing, well more like a promo or so sort and you better stand in the middle of the room or else! The safety briefing was after for about 30 seconds, buckle up and hang on. The show was good and the action of the seats gave you the illusion of flight. The feeling of the mist hitting your face going through the clouds was pretty cool. My wife said she smelled flowers when we passed outer but I didn't. It was good but a bit overpriced. We went to the Canada show. I would recommend but bring your wallet. I gave it a 3.5

Since there aren't any reviews newer than 7 years old for this, I wanted to leave a review. I took…read moremy nephews, ages 1 and 3 to Go Bananas, and overall, the facility was pretty good. The three-year-old had a great time, he could climb and run through most of the structures, and his face lit up when he figured out how the vacuum ball tubes worked. The place was less suitable for a one-year-old, but there was a pretty good toddler area. I thought the place was pretty clean and had lots of stuff to do. My main complaint is that the merry-go-round type 'rides' shown on the website cost a loonie, even though I paid admission. I'd expected them to be free. Also, some big kids went into the toddler area and were rowdy for a bit, but didn't get asked to leave. But overall, pretty good, though not as spectacular as the best indoor playgrounds I've seen

They do have k-cup coffee available for purchase there, as well as some snacks. Check their website for coupons before you go. When we went there was a buy one admission, get one admission half price coupon. Unlike some other play gyms in malls, you can't drop and shop here, but admission comes with a wrist band and in and out privileges for the rest of the day.

For $10 you get approximately 7 minutes of a virtual reality experience. Most of it is video game-type stuff but there are a couple of roller coaster simulations and others as well. Pro tip: Ask about what's not in the book. And ask for age-appropriate experiences too, if you want advice - the nice guy working the booth had a good handle on what I might like and what I wouldn't, and I'm sure he could do the same for young kids as well. I've never done *any* VR before so this was a first. It definitely seemed like a glorified video game. The graphics are not FlyOver Canada quality (think somewhere between 1980s Nintendo Duck Hunt and Wreck It Ralph), but the water slide program I chose was really fun! Because I chose a shorter program, I got to choose another. I chose "Iceland" - which I don't recommend. It seemed like I was walking around sub-par graphics with no aim or any control over my "body." Next time I'll definitely do amusement park rides only! A fun way to pass the time (or at least to get away from screaming children in 7 minute increments!).
