My mother was in town and she wanted to do something unique. Bingo was the choice and boy did we get bit bad by the bingo bug. We came back twice in a matter of two days and stayed for two sessions on the Saturday. It's quite the happenin' place! I'd also like to add theres not just little bingo grannies waiting at the tables with their dabbers. There's a range of people here, it makes people watching fun. The actual place offers computer cards as well as the classic paper cards. The prizes are pretty good, usually $1000-$5000, depending on what you need to dab on your cards. They offer a limited menu, I tried but I'm not a fan at all. If your going to eat here, I'd stick to the chips and chocolate bars. Even then, the selection is mediocre. Sadly, we didn't win a dime but I still had a blast!

Every time I say that I'm heading over to or hitting downtown Markham, it still sounds weird to me…read more I will admit that it is growing on me after a few years. Like downtown Mississauga, downtown Markham is fairly new. The notion was to create condos and have locals walk to businesses. Enterprise Boulevard is a pleasure to drive along to head there. Stores, condos, and new developments continue to be built, including York University's new Markham Center Campus in Fall 2023. Currently, York U. has YSpace Markham, which supports folks who are innovators in technology, and food, and beverage sectors. Before the pandemic, I rarely hit the downtown core. I only visited Chatime, ME-VA-ME, and Cineplex VIP. During this pandemic, I have been able to discover cool new places. Copper Branch. Comebuy. Poke Guys. South St. Burger. I love how cool the Marriott hotel looks here. One of these days, I'll need to book some time here and check it out, along with its fabulous restaurant. I am a regular bubble tea customer at Comebuy and Chatime. Who knew? I have been supporting both regularly for the past 1.5 years and have established a nice rapport with staff. There is only one Comebuy in the GTA. If I'm away for a rare couple of weeks, staff are literally concerned. One made sure before Christmas 2020 to let me know what their hours of operation were, so I wouldn't be disappointed not getting any bubble tea! There is plenty of parking. There are lots that are primarily free. I have yet to be asked to pay for parking. In front of Comebuy and Poke Guys, even where street parking isn't exactly available, parking briefly to fetch takeout is okay. I have yet to see any parking police come over and I am rarely parked longer than five minutes. There is an indoor merry-go-round at the northwest corner of Birchmount and Enterprise. I admire it from afar these days. It has been closed since the pandemic, but looked magical and festive around the Christmas holidays. Back in the summer of 2017, I came here for the Markham ribfest. It moved from Warden and highway 7 over here. I had an excellent time, despite getting caught in the rain and getting soaked trying to get to my car from the venue. I do miss seeing events downtown and hope that they return when it's safe. I like it here. It's constantly growing and changing. It's nice to briefly admire the lights in the wintertime and people-watch in the summer. (263)

It will take years to complete but I like what they are doing. An area that local residents can meet up, eat, shop and play and even actually live in the immediate area. There are a mix of franchise and smaller independent businesses has set up shops here: Cineplex VIP, Milestones, Marriott, Chatime, Golf Town, Aroma Espresso, just to name a few. Good Catch, Poke Guy, Lucullus Bakery, Kiu Japanese are some of the smaller independent restaurants. The annual Markham Ribfest has moved here and for this Summer there was live performance every Saturday night. I looking forward to all the future development and hopefully I don't need to go downtown Toronto for a fun night out and instead can just hop by Downtown Markham!

It was very enjoyable, full of knowledge and sightseeing trip. Our tour guide, Mr. Richard Chan, is a knowledgeable person. He contacted tour with great efficiency.

Thanks to him for 6 beautiful evenings, we friends, enjoyed together. I came to know that he usually accompany trips to Europe. Me & friends made our mind to go to Europe tour in which he will be a guide. May God give him success in his profession Jim driven the bus very skillfully.

GREAT Bingo Hall! It…read morewas my first time here (having "play BINGO" as part of something to check off the list) it was busy but not at all chaotic. I'm in my twenty-something and you'll find a nice mix of an older crowd, but it ranges for sure. The Helps at the front (where you buy your book) will provide minimal instructions, but the Runners that proctors the tables are VERY helpful. I would recommend that if BINGO is part of something you want to try out, or revisit, sit out on the first game and observe. Better yet, bring a friend so you both could learn together. I was lucky to have won a small prize, but 2 huge winners walked away, one of them with $20k and another a split of $15k ... Makes me wonder how the hall can afford to pay off SO MUCH when your entry is as little as $1. *high recommended a try

Plenty of parkings on site (with fee) and very convenient location for us considered our visit mostly for Asian food/eats. We will absolutely stay here again on our next 'food trip'!

Big fan of Hilton!…read more We ended up picking Hilton as the venue for our wedding, and they certainly delivered. We checked out a few other venues, but non-hotels didn't provide the convenience that we wanted and some of the other hotels didn't look quite as good. Location wise, it was perfect. It sits right beside the 407, which was amazing for our out-of-town guests. It's also on Hwy 7 and Warden, which is good for local guests. The wedding probably couldn't have gone much better than it did, outside of the things that our Wedding Planner dealt with. Staff were extremely nice. One of our wedding party guests had a very restrictive diet at the time, so she couldn't have anything on the menu, but one of the staff managed to get her something. They brought out food in a very timely manner and everything we ate, and tasted the year prior, was great! We had a minor mishap where we couldn't find the rest of our wedding cake, but they found it late at night. There are also plenty of placed to take photos - the stairs in the lobby, the outdoor garden, and the rooms themselves. I know some parties like to use the area across the street too since it's mostly an open field, as long as there's no Canadian Geese. The room we had was also very nice, and they were able to set accommodations for us to stay an extra night too. All our guests that wanted to stay were able to also book rooms there at a small discount. Rooms were well kept and comfy. Parking was included with our group. Overall, a great place to go for both a room to stay, and an event for your loved ones.

We recently did the Presqu'ile National Park & Old Mill Alpacas day trip. We had lots of fun…read moredespite the iffy weather. Our tour guide Charmaine is very organized & friendly. It was so nice that everything was laid out clearly. We knew how much time we had for each activity. Our first stop was to the national park. We were getting intermittent rain alternating with sunshine so it was pretty wet. Also the park is on marshlands so even more wet than normal land! lol. We got dropped off by one of the board walking trails. It's very scenic & beautiful despite the rain. The sun came out at times. So nice to get some fresh air & there were birds, frogs, fish all around. Our next stop was at the Presqu'ile lighthouse, beach & visitor center (all near each other). The beach is small & rocky but it was so nice to be near the water. After the lighthouse we got to wander around the small visitor center. It has two single washrooms, a small history room, & a small gift shop. Next was our lunch stop at the Big Apple. There are around 4 food trucks outside the main building. There's a petting zoo also. Inside the main building there are washrooms, a candy store, baked goods, souvenirs, a burger joint & a bar. I liked the big apple but it would be hard to get there without a car. I liked that we got to pay for our own lunch because that also meant we could get whatever we want. Sometimes the day trips include lunch & has a limited menu especially for people with food intolerances. After lunch we got to go to Old Mill Alpacas. Here we got to feed the alpacas, and walk the alpacas. The owner of the farm also did a quick talk about alpacas. It was very interesting! Because of the rain it was muddy of course so we got dirty but I didn't mind as I was prepared with my waterproof boots. Also short trips informed us of weather conditions in an email before the day trip. After the alpacas we had a 30 mins break for dinner at a highway enroute rest stop. Too bad these enroute places don't have better food options. Anyway short trips has no control over that. Our drop off was on time. Overall we really enjoyed our tour with short trips. We would go on another tour with them for sure. Since we don't drive or have a car this is a really nice way to see parts in Ontario we wouldn't normally be able to see.
