    that's just beautiful, no?

    I think this is one of the nicest places in Toronto! You can easily miss it driving by or even walking by! The depth of the square is almost a touch poignant... (what chu talking about willis?) Anyways, it's really great during the summer. Plenty of space, benches and tables scattered about. People just come out and hang man, not many places in Toronto like that you know? In the winter they have the ice rink situation happening, but the square itself is not maintained. Drop by if you are near by, it's conveniently located off the North York Centre Subway Station. Nearby are Starbucks, Second Cup, The North York Central Library, oh yeah Empress Walk Theatre is here too. Do it!! Bob out!

    Hidden away in a little nook of the city, drive by too fast and you may just miss it. Right off the busy Yonge Street, Mel Lastman Square is fast becoming a place to go in the North End of Toronto. Every Thursday there is a small farmer's market set up in the area, a great place to buy local produce and products. My mom has become obsessed with Elfsong Apiaries honey stand. She buys the big 1kg jars by the box! Billy Bee Honey, you got nothing on them! In the summer there are a lot of outdoor activities in the area, little festivals (Eco fest was there a few weekends ago) and musical performances. In the winter, though I've never been, there's a skating rink in the centre. Also a government building is on the west side of the square, so if you have any parking tickets to pay, you might as well hit them up. And there's usually not a lineup, so another bonus. I'm a good driver, so I don't have too many experiences with parking tickets... ;-) perhaps the city of Toronto should make their signage a little more CLEAR! *Uh-HUM* If you're passing by on Yonge, stop off at Mel Lastman Square for some short-term fun in the sun!

Haha) and it was once again a lovely experience. We had a voucher for 2 free tickets and 2 free popcorns and drinks. I purchased the tickets online and paid $10 extra for the premier seats. We saw the 9:45pm show and the theatre was pretty dead. The staff working the concessions were friendly and fast. The premier seats are next level. This is luxuryyyyy. We really enjoyed the electric reclining chairs and the side tables are so convenient for your popcorn! I don't wanna sit in a basic seat again lol. The whole thing was once again a pleasant experience. They really ain't got nothing on Cineplex. Oh, but Landmark could probably renovate their washrooms cuz they STILL have those faucets that you press and have to rush to finish washing your hands lol.

    Wouldn't normally review a place like a movie theater but this one I felt deserved it. How clean!…read moreHow comfy! Same price you pay at other theatres, but the chairs are large, comfy, and recline as well. And the theatre itself is kept quite clean, which for me goes a long way. Since I like my shoes. And often times fine myself with one less shoe when walking out from the sticky floors where my shoe stays stuck to the floor and my foot continues moving.

They have additional paid options to go up higher, or tether yourself outdoors if you are the daring type. While I enjoyed the visit to the top, the snack bars gave me what I would call the worst hot dog of my life. I honestly didn't even finish it. It was discolored, undercooked, and tasteless. Ack! They have a huge gift shop to visit after. I wouldn't recommend ordering from their snack bars at the top, but otherwise, this was a good visit. It's walking distance from the Union Station subway stop.

The staff: were very professional. They guide you throughout security efficiency and are happy to answer questions. Food: we tried to burgers and pizza at the casual eatery upstairs, and they exceeded our expectation for tourist food very flavorful. atmosphere: it's a photographer dream. Seeing everyone getting expired for their shot at to the creative live. Everyone is on their thing so there is no feeling intimidated on recording or snapping your pictures. Value: by using the city pass, we found the cost to be very reasonable for a family outing. The facility are clean and well maintained whether you are interested in the history of the structure or just want the best view of Canada, this place delivers 100%. Walking on the glass floor was the highlight of the day plus the fallen on the 45 angle degrees.

George station directly, the 26 dupont bus with a bit of a walk on the northern end of the park, and the 94A wellesley to the southern end of the park. come here and just disconnect.

It's small but the idea of declaring a green space in the midst of the city to be a Philosopher's Walk kind of makes us all philosophers when we go there and speaks to the whimsy and thoughtfulness of the residents of this city.
