Located where Zellers used to be beside Hudson's Bay at Centrepoint right on Steeles and Yonge…read more This place is HUGE! It takes you to a full vacation-like feel. At the entrance you are greeted with staff to sign a waiver on the iPad. Then you have to "check-in" where you purchase your tokens and playground pass if you like. For kids they give them a bracelet and put a parent's phone number in case which is a huge plus! For tokens you can purchase them more inside instead of at the check-in counter. The claw machine tokens are separate though so you'll have to purchase them inside. Once you receive your boarding pass, you give them to the staff there who says "Enjoy your vacation" and go through a mini security. I didn't get many pics because we were honestly too excited and just in awe. After security you go up the escalators and you've entered vacation! It's honestly incredible inside from arcades, to restaurants, darts, VR, golf, baseball, and so many more! They even have a mini store there with snacks, drinks, etc! Just a lot of things. We will come back! It's just amazing here. Gotta take more pics as well this time around. My kids loved it so much. They spent hours at the playground and want to come back again the next day!

There is a movie theater and lots of restaurants around this area so it's very convenient. I brought my kids here a couple of times when there were kids events opened to the public. My kids loved it. They also offer party packages $500 for 2 hours.

I pass by the Pride of Canada Carousel all the time whenever I'm in downtown Markham. It's on the…read morenorthwest corner of Birchmount Road and Enterprise Boulevard. Downtown Markham is relatively new. The Pride of Canada carousel took roughly $30 million to create, thanks to a public art initiative and The Remington Group. There are so many cool aspects of this carousel. It is open year-round thanks to it being inside glass walls with a roof. The carousel features 44 characters created by Patrick Amiot, a junk-art sculptor, and painted by his wife, Brigitte Laurent. Daniel Horenberger created the ride's structure. The characters were crafted from recycled and repurposed items collected across Canada. There is a free outdoor skating rink. It's a good location, as there are many places to eat and drink, and warm up afterwards. The carousel requires getting a ticket to ride it. It's $3 for one ride. You save more when you get more tickets. It's $5 for 2 tickets. If you love riding this carousel, go for $20 for 10 tickets, which is the best bang for your money. One of these days, I'll go ride it. I always marvel at it when I'm stopped at the lights in my car. I want to ride in circles instead! (392)

There was a lego area, mini market, large play structure, mini dentist and xray area, interactive wall, 2 simulation driving games, ball pit, construction site and a dress up area! Plenty of parking.

There are little cubbies available for shoes and a rack for coats.

I've drove by this place a few times before. It's conveniently located in the plaza next to First…read moreMarkham Place. I'm glad they opened up a new indoor playground uptown as there's not many in the area, you would need to make your way to the west like Vaughan area. So my friend and I decided to bring our kids here on a P.A day. We booked the admission and did the waivers online. They have various time slots for you to choose from when you book the tickets online. The duration is 2 hours of play for $19.99+taxes, it includes one adult entry. We booked it for 11:30pm - 1:30pm. As you can imagine it was pretty busy since it was a P.A day. The playground wasn't that big, there's a few party rooms. They have various things for kids to do. One downside is they only had two video game stations. Kids had to line up and wait for their turn, timing can be tight since there's only 2 hours of playtime unless you pay extra to extend it. This place is fairly new so it's clean and well maintained. They don't allow outside food and drinks but I've seen some people with it, perhaps they had found a way to sneak it in. They have snacks and drinks that you can purchase. I looked into their party packages and in my opinion I think it's overly priced, it's not worth it. Bringing kids here once in a while to play is still okay in terms of one time admission fees but not with their passes or party packages.

It's good for various ages, they have arcade games, some claw machines, laser tag, rock climbing and toddler area. We went on a Tuesday and it was quite busy. There were so many kids from camps too. Plenty of seating area, they don't allow outside food and drinks except for water as usual. Admission was slightly pricey $29.99 as it was considered school break, they offered 20% off before 1pm so that was better. The good thing is it's unlimited play time and the price includes 1 adult.

*** Avoid Skate Sharpening Booth ***…read more The lady who smokes did a terrible job sharpening my new skates. I had to get them re-sharpened at SportChek for $7 (16 and Woodbine) where they had to re-sharpened my blades. The staff was surprised at how terrible they were considering I had purchased them this year. Skate rental is available but I'd recommend just saving up and buying your own (even used in kijiji) skates. I'd be weary on those rental skates given how terrible the lady screwed up my blades. *** Indoor area not available *** Due to the pandemic, the small indoor area is closed off to the public. So you'll need to change your skates outdoors on the wooden benches. Occasionally there is a staff there but this rink is mostly unsupervised. You're not supposed to be figure skating / practicing hockey moves, but no one is there to enforce it. *** Environment *** The stairs to get to the rink are poorly lit. There's currently a Christmas tree at the entrance but the stairs are not lit at all. They need to fix the lamppost or install new lights bc it's dark enough you can't see people when going down the stairs and might hit / step on a kid playing in the area. There are no lockers / storage available so be sure to travel light and leave your bulkier items in the car. No access to heating area or washrooms. The theatre next door may be open but not sure about welcoming guests to use the facility. Best to drive across the plaza to the washrooms at a restaurant like McDonalds. *** Skating Rink *** Rubber floor mats are limited facing the side of the Civic Centre building where the benches are located to change. It would be better if mats were expanded all around the rink along with additional benches. This would help reduce the crowding and close contact of others during this pandemic. Shaped more like an oval than a circle or rectangle, it's a decent size for skating when it's not too busy. I do find the ice to be uneven / dented / marked up even after the zambino has cleaned the ice. During the evenings, lights are available along with dated 2000s music on repeat. I've been coming here for years and it's still the same, so of course I'd be bored of the music. Bring your earphones to keep yourself entertained.

Visiting Fantasy Fair at Woodbine Mall feels like entering a sad time capsule. The massive…read morethree-level Dreamer's Play Village soft playground is severely weathered, filthy, and desperately needs an upgrade. Most of the iconic curved slides are completely boarded up, which heavily disappoints the kids. The remaining climbing sections are covered in thick dust, held together with questionable zip-ties, and poorly maintained. Unsupervised children run wild across sticky padding that makes you want to immediately throw away your socks. For a steep ticket price, this neglected, run-down play area feels entirely unsafe and overwhelmingly depressing. Save your money. Use to be a good place for kids to come out and enjoy .

The best thing about it is that it's located inside a mall which is good for rainy and snowy days. The mall and the park itself is run down. It seems as if they don't invest in fixing their rides. We've been there a few times. The same rides at least 5 or 6 of them were broken / not functional. That is something that needs improvement and perhaps renovation. It's a good place for kids between 3 - 7 years old to burn off their energy. I wish there was an indoor amusement park like this closer up town in like Richmond Hill or Vaughan. I would still consider coming back again just so my kids can enjoy it again.
