I have been to East Park dozens of times since I myself was a kid and I can honestly say that I…read morehave never had a bad time here. The one thing I will mention off the hop is that the park has been around for almost 50 years and some areas would benefit from being refreshed a little more often. There have been times when the mini golf or arcade in particular seemed a little worse for wear. On the plus side, there is a LOT to do there. Over and above the aforementioned mini golf, there is a standard golf course, waterslides, batting cages, go-karts, climbing wall, driving range and even summer day camps are offered. There's no question is can make for an expensive day for a family, but it doesn't have to be if you plan accordingly. They often have specials and offer packages that can make it at least slightly more affordable. While anecdotally I've heard some complain about the golf course, I actually think it is well laid out and maintained - but only issues over the years have only been that it's been a bit overcrowded on a few occasions. It's not the city's most well maintained course or its most challenging - but offers a good day of golf at a reasonable price. I have not, for a variety of reasons, tried the go-karts of water park lately but I can assure you that my boys absolutely love them. The club house is nice and the back patio offers a great view of a green that makes it a perfect place for a meal or snack when whether permits. While the menu is limited - the food is pretty good and not overly expensive. Things hot dogs and french fries and the sort. If you're looking for a way to have some fun with the kids you could certainly do worse than East Park. In fact, its one of my boys favourite places in the city. We don't go too often - but its always a great time when we do.

We went to East Park as part of a Costco deal. We had a good time, water slides for my oldest and a…read moresplash pad for my little. "They didn't have many and the bullet and caterpillar are the only good ones" -mr 9 The splash pad was good but if that's all your going for I would just go to one of the free city ones. The iced cream wasn't too bad but we had to cut our eating time short because of the bees. No ones fault but still a pain. I also found it was a pain picking up the tickets because of the loud sounds inside the building. I couldn't wait to get out. If you can get out of the city there are better places but if your here it's not a wasted day out

Visit on August 6, 2026 (wing nite) We have been to Palasad Socialbowl many times in the last 5…read moreyears and this by far was the most disappointing visit. Last month the wings were great. This month terrible. Not only were they less than half the size of the last time, they were dry. Seemed like they had been sitting around after being cooked. The sweet Thai chilly sauce was very weak and felt like it was watered down. The sweet potato fries were all chopped up and looked like it was the end of the batch. We spoke with the server and he did agree with us and said they were having a lot of complaints with not just the wings. If this is what they continue to serve then we will not be going there. Tom S

It's probably our fourth visit to the Factory over the years. The kids have done day camp there and also the ropes course and never been disappointed. Side note- The vintage consignment shop, Again and Co is great addition to the building. Very well curated collection of elevated vintage and lots of great vintage denim. I would go back just for that and the kids can jump.

There was an ice cream store and a Starbucks opened when we were there. Several of the businesses were not open when we stopped by. There is a craft brewery on site as well as a restaurant, The Club House, and a distillery. We did not sample any of these as we were there early in the day. The Factory is an entertainment complex geared towards younger children. There is plenty for young kids to do including an escape room, trampoline park, high ropes course, zip line and virtual reality. Would be ideal for kids on a rainy cold day. It was nice to see the changes to this space and understand that they are building a hotel and concert area which should be a good draw.

The bowling itself wasn't bad, but there were some slight mechanical issues with the lane towards the end which cut into our time. We had one turn left each and the game cut off right before which was a bummer. We ordered some of their cocktails which were good but service was slow for sure. Place is great for kids and adults because there's also an arcade, ping pong, and pool tables but those cost extra. Looks like a fun place for birthday parties for kids. The lanes were cool because they had music videos playing above each lane which was fun. It was very hot in there though so don't wear a long sleeve shirt lol

Conveniently located almost right at the forks of the Thames it is also along the Thames Valley Parkway and sees a lot of bikes and rollerblading and hikers when the weather allows. While Victoria Park sees most of the festival action, you can often find something going on here on the weekends and the Canada Day fireworks are a must attend event. It's quite a large park and offers lots of room for picnics, frisbee or whatever outdoor activity your heart might desire. It's a delightful spot to take in a little nature right in the heart of the city!

This park has a ton of green space, a small play park, and a great trail for running/biking. There is also a beach volleyball court. Before the days of IMPark down in Harris, it was easy to park your car and go for a run or play a game of v-ball, but now you have to pay. The trails here can lead you far and wide across the city of London. It is really neat to see how far they can take you. You wont find this park jam packed with festivals every weekend. From Rock the Park, to fireworks during Victoria Day, it is a nice space to be active or hang out to get away from it all. The geese can kind of be an annoyance, especially when they use the walkways as their bathroom but hey, thats nature! I've seen some really cute ducklings while walking the trails. Be sure to watch for warnings about high water during the spring time. It can be dangerous. Definitely visit Harris Park, even if you are stopping in at the nearby museum, it would be a great spot for a picnic!
