Also, entering and exiting the Coliseum was pretty quick. Lots of staff around. Food selection and pricing are pretty standard like at other event venues. I felt like food station/stalls seems pretty tiny and not many. I had a small nitpicky issue. It's with people wearing a little too much perfume/cologne to busy and crowded places. I feel like they don't care that perfume can and will affect others (allergies or not).

Roy Thomson Hall was pretty easy to get to by public transport. The closest train station is St. Andrew with exits that lead towards the Hall. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Acoustics is the main concern for me. I've gone to so many venues worldwide and I was very disappointed in the sound quality. My tickets were over $100 each. 2. Seating is uncomfortable 3. Upholstery and carpets are a light beige and scratchy and fuzzy and need to be cleaned 4. Crowded and tight women's bathroom It's not a pretty venue. Reminds me of the Paris Opera. Concrete and bland. Not sure if I would return.

Exhibition Place has been around for over a century. I know it as the place to be in August for the…read moreCanadian National Exhibition (CNE or The Ex). Its name comes from this event that marks the end of summer. I tend to visit various expos and shows at Enercare Centre, which makes up part of Exhibition Place. The One of a Kind and Plant Expo shows are fun. Recently, I visited Coca-Cola Coliseum (formerly Ricoh Coliseum) to take in a couple of Toronto Marlies hockey games. Exhibition Place hugs the Lake Ontario shoreline, just west of downtown Toronto. It's a large space with exhibit, trade, and banquet centres; theatre and music buildings; monuments, parkland, and sports facilities; and a number of civic, provincial, and national historic sites. The older buildings that comprise Exhibition Place are on the west side. The Horticulture Building and Music Building come to mind. I am more familiar with the larger buildings. It's likely because I frequented them often, especially when I worked at The Ex during three different summer jobs as a student. The Food Building is still kicking around. I sold fudge and cold drinks in that building. I knew where the best deals were for candy and snacks. Some things never change... haha I shopped a lot at the Better Living Building. It was mainly handbags, hair accessories, and sandals back then. As of late, it's the Queen Elizabeth Building that I visit the most. It's where concerts tend to be. I last saw Erasure there. BMO Field is across from it. I saw Genesis, which was the first concert at this venue. It is the home of Toronto FC, our soccer (football) team. Seeing the Marlies play was a treat after an absence of over a decade. I got to take in my first AHL playoff game and the team won! The food is great. Scotiabank area could try and adapt mac and cheese, and grilled cheese with freshly made chips from this venue alone. I have parked all over this place. The further you park from where you want to be, the cheaper parking is. If you park at the underground lot for Enercare Centre, Beanfield Centre (formerly the Automotive Building), or Coca-Cola Coliseum, parking has a flat rate of $25. It's credit and debit cards only. There is an attendant available during the event in question if you need assistance. There are two historic gates here: - Princes' Gates (opened by Princes Edward and George) - Dufferin Gates (the arch, named after Lord Dufferin) I have entered the former more often. If I use the latter, I'm going to the Medieval Times dinner and tournament show. Exhibition Stadium used to be here. It was the home of the Blue Jays. It was also a concert venue. I have fond memories taking a break from my job and getting a glimpse of The Rolling Stones play before their evening show. I have barely scratched the surface describing Exhibition Place. It's a multipurpose area with a lot of events and activities happening year-round. I'm glad that I can drop by now and again to relive memories and make new ones. (177)

It was my first time seeing a show here specifically in the Bluma Appel Theatre. The theatre is on…read morea smaller scale so, you have a great view in any seat. In the orchestra level you may feel as if you are up too close to the stage. We choose to sit in the balcony and it was perfect to see everything that was happening on stage. Arrival: Upon getting to the theatre we had about 20 minutes until the show to pick up our will-call tickets. The line moved fairly quickly in 5 minutes we got our tickets. Seating: Our seats had an awesome view of the entire stage. No one in front of us was blocking our view during the show. The seats are small and close to one another but it didn't bother me. It was pretty comfortable. Production: The lighting and sounds were great! You can hear how beautiful everyone's voices were. This really makes a production successful. Intermission: We were disappointed that during the intermission the line up for the concession stand was ridiculously long. It was past the main staircase. By the time we were called back to our seats we were still half way there beside the bottom of the staircase. Overall I can't wait till our next show!

The feel is intimate and acoustics are decent. There is an open space next to the box office where they often host pre/post-performance talks, which are a nice way to learn more about the show you are seeing. The lobby is pretty standard. Nothing too fancy and it lacks the grandeur of places like the Four Seasons Centre or Koerner Hall, but it is inviting and the ushers and box office staff have always been friendly and helpful. The theatre is steps from Union Station and St. Lawrence Market, so it's easy to get to and there are a few good places to eat before/after a show (my pick is Sukho Thai on Wellington).

Check-in and badge pickup were easy, and everything was clearly organized with signs showing where the lines began and how to move through ticket scanning and up the escalators. The event map helped a lot, and vendors were easy to find. There was a great mix of food, drinks, desserts, chocolates, warm meals, and even merchandise, plus short chef demos and fun bartending classes happening throughout the festival. The venue itself handled the crowd well, and the aisles were clearly marked, which made walking around comfortable. It was nice to see live chef presentations where they explained dishes step by step. Parking is available in both the North Building and South Building garages, which is convenient, but it is on the expensive side.

Not to mention, the rooms here are great! All the details are elevated and the room was great. The only thing that was off are the pillows are just dreadful- but that's a very personal preference. As always, love the Le Labo toiletries and the welcome macarons from Globalists were delicious! This was the third time we've stayed here and it's such a wonderful hotel.
