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 are moments where you will walk down or up ramps, stairs or float in the air in the vr experience which was interesting. I did enjoy the the weekday experience as there wasn't a group before to feel rushed. The facilities were clean and spacious. The take home video of our game play was a nice touch.

We got there 10 mins ahead of time and they offered us SNES emulator to kill time. Once we finished our game of Farcry they gave us another 15 mins of zombie shooting for free. Probably because we were the last booking. Would recommend for sure. Free street parking outside after 9 or just buy "something" at no frills and park across the street.

It's very spacious inside with rooms available for birthday or corporate events. There's even a cafe and a board game area available. Service This place does VR in all sorts of format. You can either do it as a group, solo and it could be an arcade style or escape room. It's very immersive and I really liked how the staff helps explain what to expect and how to navigate. I got invited to try the zombie arcade version, which was around 30 minutes. It didn't feel short at all and we managed to do several stages and complete the game Overall it's a great experience and highly recommend if you have friends and kids

VR Fun! My boyfriend and I went to a VR gaming centre for…read morethe first time and had such a blast! VRPlayin uses the latest VR tech and is a gaming centre where you can play a variety of games. Each session is charged by the hour starting at $29/h. There is a huge selection of games from fighting to horror to sports to exploring and many more! The staff is super helpful so don't worry if you have never tried VR before! They give you an extensive tutorial and continues to help you throughout your session if you need it. We had such a great first VR experience!

The staff was courteous and answered all our questions when they walked us through how all things work. This place uses the VR in a neat way than the one I have I home. The play room has sensors that earn you in the game if you are too close to the walls. Then you can also Play a team game that you play against each mother which was the best. Many many games to select from. Easy to very hard. With either nothing to do or minimal movements too very intense. For all age groups as well. Fun place for sure. Two hours well spent!

None of the mechanisms work and the staff don't pay attention to manually start them either. So basically you'll solve a problem and wait around and wonder for 20 mins why nothings moving even if you got it right from the start. Then you have to ask for a clue (which they won't give, it'll just be a condescending phrase that tells you to do what you've already been doing.) then after fighting with them for five min they'll realize it's their fault and manually start it, wasting not just our time but our money. 30 dollars a person is just ridiculous for what this is. If you want more fun lock yourself in a dark closet for 30 min and try to get out, you'll probably feel more satisfied anyways. I will say that we did ignore all of the red flags 1. The bad reviews online 2. The two groups that came out super pissed off before us fighting for refunds cause nothing worked for them 3. How the place looked So kinda on us but... Did this for group bonding and I will say we did bond pretty well over how terrible this was and how much we got scammed, so maybe if you want team bonding then this works for you idk? Definitely tests your teams patience....

Decided to check this place out after reading a bunch of great reviews. We did the Osaka High room…read morewhich was pretty good! So many rooms to go through that it made the experience well worth it. My only criticism would be the staff. We didn't escape the room and only had one section left to get through. When the staff came in telling us we were out of time, the normal procedure would be to walk us through what we had left. Instead, the guy said he was unable to finish a walk through because the next group had arrived. It seemed that he was unwilling to walk us through the remaining aspects because if he did, then he'd have to reset all the puzzles... I've been to quite a few escape room locations and never has this happened before, even if the next group had arrived.. Overall the Osaka High room was pretty cool, but I only wish I knew how it ended.....

This is the first time I ever been to Fort York. Getting there was easy as Streetcar 509 get me right to the entrance. The ground is spacious and I like the white tent like set up giving it an English Garden gallery vibe. I was expecting the worse since I attended the Saturday Evening Session but was pleasantly surprised that the event was well organized and it was not too crowded. Maximum wait for me was less than 10 minutes for anything. Most of the restaurant vendors did have good time management and kudos for all the kitchen staff working so hard keeping us all fed and wait time to the minimum. We ended up trying Little Sister's Pork Belly ($8), Morimoto Toronto's Uni Carbonara with a bottle of S.Pellegrino ($8) and THR's Lobster Grits ($10). Each dish was well presented with good flavours. There are also a lot of free sampling and tasting in various food vendors, For wine tasting, they are going for $1 each or so. Love the different demo. Getting into Master Cooking Classes were impossible with the limited first come first serve openings but watching the cooking class was just as fun. American Express Lounge was a nice touch from AMEX as it has free samples and free bottle water to keep you hydrated. I would come back next year on a nice day to spend a few hours to wander around and sample some food. The longest line being Richmond Station and Drake. I would suggest to skip those as it really was no point spending your time lining up for food.

Contrary to a lot of reviews below, I absolutely loved Taste of Toronto…read more Our group wanted to try a variety of options, so we pooled our money and loaded it on 1 card. Surprisingly, the wait time to try top restaurants were not bad at all. We pretty much got a taste of every dish at every place. By the end of the night, I was holding my magnum ice cream with a big smile on my face. My friends were all struggling to walk and wanting to roll home instead. The main dish that made my night was: Splendido - "True North Atlantic Salmon Sashimi from Atlantic Canada - Avocado, sesame, race cakes." This dish had the "Wow factor." After having a slice, I was in shock. I honestly could not stop talking about how delicious this dish was that night. I had to get a second order immediately. The sauce had the perfect amount of flavor without being too strong to cover the taste of the freshly sliced Salmon Sashimi. The texture from the avocado compliments the tenderness and chewiness of the Sashimi perfectly. Amazing! What I really like about this festival is that you get a taste of the food from top restaurants around Toronto. I will definitely be trying Splendido shortly in the future. I look forward to Taste of Toronto next year and I highly recommend others to join me as well!

Ten bucks for two levels of throwback gaming, genius level status!…read more We had a blast playing games from the 90's and 00's. There is a photo booth, a bar on each level and clean restrooms on the 2nd floor (not accessible tho). Pinball games, all the gaming consoles you could want, and guitar hero play-off's. What's there not to love?! We had a few drinks which were decently priced with sufficient strength. There are thin console tables between games to set your drinks on. Service was chill as well. The place is clean, hand sanitizers spread throughout and not a sticky surface in sight. Beats playing in your mom's basement...lol!
