Sky Zone Trampoline Park is the ultimate indoor playground where fun knows no bounds! This vibrant chain of trampoline parks offers a variety of activities that cater to all ages, making it an ideal destination for families. From freestyle jumping and exhilarating dodgeball games to a challenging ninja warrior course and a soft foam zone, there's something for everyone. Parents can relax knowing there are dedicated toddler zones designed specifically for younger children, ensuring they have age-appropriate fun too.
Not a lot of different things to try, but a nice variety, and setup well. My Grandson's first time here and he loves it, we will be back. Lots of parking, they place is clean, has snack bar, washrooms and places for kids to put their street shoes and socks. Kids have to wear special socks that have traction squares on the bottom of them. Costs vary depending on the amount of time you want to stay. I think the price is very reasonable.

Had my son’s birthday party here today and everything went perfect. Every interaction I had with every employee was beyond pleasant and lovely. Our host Renee was amazing, I didn’t have to lift a finger even though I kept insisting I help her. Location is clean as well as the bathrooms. All around really impressed and definitely recommend!

Super clean and super fun! Staff were friendly, and our kids had a blast jumping for 90 minutes. Just as their time ended, the Glow Party started—and they were so disappointed to leave. But the amazing manager surprised us with Glow shirts and wristbands so they could join in. The DJ, the lights, the energy—our kids had the best time! We’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I brought my two daughters here many times now and it never disappoints! The facility is always clean, the staff are friendly and helpful with questions and lots of spaces to chose from. The only thing I find is the food is completely over priced..$4 for a small coffee!? I guess you pay for the convenience. Otherwise always a good time

My son enjoyed his party at skyzone, he didn't want to leave! Party planning was a breeze but I expected more decorations for the cost. Overall experience was good, I would book again.

We went exactly on my son's birthday and what a treat for both my kids! They had a blast from start to finish! He got a free skyzone shirt and socks for his birthday that he was proud to wear for school. I was expecting a crowd, but to our surprise, there were only a handful of families out. Parking was easy. Cubbies are a plus. And all in all, we had a great visit!

From energetic trampoline zones to dedicated toddler time for little ones aged six and under, there's something for everyone. Many visitors have celebrated special occasions here, noting the friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure a stress-free experience. Families appreciate how organized the sessions are, with announcements that help manage crowd levels effectively.
Great experience . Birthday party for our twins was awesome. Our host was super helpful and kind. I’d definitely recommend planning on a Monday @ 10am if you want to go when it’s not packed. Only suggestion would be having pizza at the end instead of mid jump. Otherwise everything was awesome!
Jessica G — Google review
Great fun for kids to get all their energy out! Loved the experience. My only feedback is that some of the young staff on the floor were talking to each other and not watching the kids. My nephew almost got clocked multiple times because kids were not waiting their turn for certain areas and there was nobody directing the flow. They would show up only after chaos ensued. Other than that it went well!

We visited Flying Squirrel 🐿️ in Whitby and had an amazing time overall! Perfect place for kids to burn energy and enjoy lots of fun activities. 💯 ✨ Highlights: - Great spot for toddlers and kids 👶🧒 Lots of trampoline areas and safe play zones 🤸‍♂️ - Fun weekend or evening workout for little ones 🏃‍♀️ - Good option for family time 👨‍👩‍👧 - Staff is friendly and helpful 🙌 🍕 Area to Improve: The food court definitely needs improvement. It feels like they mostly focus on birthday parties 🎉 rather than individual walk-in customers. We wanted to order pizza, but since a party was coming up, they said it wasn’t available for us. This was disappointing, especially since we had a guest with us who ended up just having chips & cold drinks 🥤🍟. That experience left a bit of a negative impression, so I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. 👉 Overall: Fantastic place for kids’ activities, but food service should be more customer-friendly. Would still recommend for playtime fun! 👏

This is a great spot for kids to play and have fun. The staff are attentive, constantly engaging with and supervising the children to ensure their safety, which is very reassuring for parents. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has a cheerful atmosphere. The only downside is that the seating area tends to be quite busy, making it difficult to find a spot to sit. A helpful suggestion would be to allow parents to bring their own folding chairs for added convenience.

Been coming here for years for bday parties mostly. We had a few of our kids bdays here and the prices are very good compared to other similar places. They have a new attraction here that replaced the inflatable jumpy thing but now there is no more height requirement. Good job guys keep it up

Have always loved flying squirrel that they’ve had bouncy castles, which makes them different from Sky zone THEY GOT RID OF THE BOUNCY CASTLES! I booked this place for my son’s birthday coming up because of its uniqueness and how we love going here and now I’m so disappointed and so is my son as he wanted his birthday here which I’ve already done a payment of and it’s only now for children 12 and under/under 5 feet. we are so sad :(

Flying Squirrel Whitby is an indoor trampoline park offering a variety of activities such as open jump areas, dodgeball courts, foam pits, and ninja courses. It's popular for hosting parties and group events. Reviews often highlight the fun environment and friendly staff, while some mention that it can get crowded, especially during peak hours. Cleanliness and safety measures are generally well-maintained, but experiences can vary. Booking in advance is recommended to avoid long wait times.

Playdium is a fantastic entertainment destination that offers a variety of activities for both kids and young adults. The venue features an array of arcade games, physical challenges like rope walking and hanging trails, as well as attractions such as video shooters, racing games, bowling, and virtual reality experiences. Additionally, there are convenient food options available at the concession stand and party rooms for special events.
I and my family enjoyed having a birthday party here. Kids were really entertained, the place was very organized with courteous staff, good parking and clean place. We totally had fun
Weeneelicious — Google review
I took my daughter here for her 25th Birthday. I bought her the $75.00 package deal!?! The staff was helpful and answered the questions we had, as best they could. There is a nice assortment of games to play, that will dispense tickets to buy prizes with. We had issues with a few of the games not working properly. We requested help and the staff tried to fix the problems. Some were ignored. My daughter enjoyed herself, and that is what mattered. When we went to the "store", to cash in the tickets she won, there was not a good selection to choose from. With 2,500 tickets, which we thought were a lot. She came out with a few things, I could have bought at a dollar store for $8.00. I think this venue is for younger children. They have a great food area with private rooms for parties. There are package deals that you have to make inquires about. If you love bowling, there is an appealing game area. The prices seem to be around $9.30 a person per game. It was worth it, to check the place out. The upper rope adventure was not open, when we were there. I don't know why.

Great Spot for Kids’ Parties and Family Fun We attended a birthday party at Playdium Whitby, and it was a blast from start to finish! 🎉 The Party Our group didn’t have a private party room, so we were set up in the open eating space — which actually worked out great. The package included 1 hour of unlimited game time (some machines excluded, like claw games or prize machines). Note that games that normally earn tickets didn’t give out any tickets during this time, which caught me off guard at first. The package didn’t include bowling or the High Ropes Challenge (the obstacle course above the arcade floor), but we purchased the ropes separately for $7.35, which I thought was a great deal. I went up with my son — it was challenging, required good upper body strength, and was a ton of fun. I’ll admit, I didn’t dare go across the barrel roll section! 🕹 Games & Prizes There’s a great variety of arcade games — something for everyone. We also had a separate card with ticket credits, so we could grab some loot at the end. I liked that there were smaller prizes available for just a few tickets, so even younger kids could go home with something. 🍔 Food The birthday meal choices were cheeseburger, pizza, or chicken fingers. My son went with the burger and finished the whole thing — a solid sign it was good! Fries were a little overcooked, but nothing ketchup couldn’t fix. 🙌 Staff & Safety Staff were friendly and helpful. The front counter employee even came over to help me purchase the obstacle course pass when the main kiosk wasn’t cooperating. Phones aren’t allowed on the ropes course — totally understandable since you’re walking above the arcade floor with people below. Safety was clearly a priority, and everything felt well supervised. 🧽 Cleanliness & Atmosphere The facility was clean, bright, and spacious. Plenty of room to sit and eat, even if you’re not hosting a party. Everything felt well maintained. --- Final Verdict: Excellent experience overall. Clean venue, friendly staff, solid food, and tons of fun activities for kids and adults alike. We’d absolutely come back again — and next time, I might even host a party myself! 5 stars ✨ — highly recommended for birthdays or a fun family outing.

This is a great place to take your kids to enjoy some arcades and/or activities (ziplinging, bowling). Great place to host your kids birthday party as well! Honestly, it's hard to find these arcade spots nowadays. That's why this place is a must as they have some up to date games (including VR shooting games), and 4D games. Some claw machines too if you're a fan of that. There is something for everyone! Will return!

This Playdium near Oshawa is a fun place for children of all ages. There are dance games, shooting games, dodgeball throwing games, even bowling and a ropes course here. And there's food served with party rooms so great for birthday parties or larger group events. Nice place to cool off in the summer or to be inside in the winter.
Johnson K — Google review
Playdium is a really fun game zone in Ontario and a great spot for both kids and adults. I went with my friend and my daughter, and we all had a great time. The variety of games is impressive – from arcade classics to interactive and VR experiences – so there’s something for everyone to enjoy. They also have a small café inside where you can grab snacks and meals, including local Canadian favorites like poutine. It’s convenient if you want to take a break between games without leaving the place. The space is clean, well-maintained, and the staff are helpful. It’s a good option for family outings, kids’ birthdays, or just a fun hangout with friends. Parking is available on site, which makes it easy to visit. Overall, Playdium offers a lively, and entertaining experience that’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Came here on a Saturday during Thanksgiving long weekend. The arcade is not that big, but they do have a small bowling alley, which costs 42 per game with shoe rental. There's a VRCADE that has 3 different games available. The price ranges from 30, 40, and 60 credits. There's a rope course 20 feet above the ground that costs 50 credits for 30 minutes.There are assorted arcade games and midway games to earn tickets to redeem for prizes. There are party rooms if you are looking to host a children's birthday party. The Playdium bites serve up some popular hand-held sandwiches and burgers. Prices are quite reasonable, and sandwiches are served with fries. Pizzas are 12" with 6 options to choose from. Prices range from $12-$17. Want some bar food? Try the classic nachos where you can your choice of protein: chicken, philly steak, and impossible crumble. There's also a Korean fried chicken nachos for those who want to be adventurous. Not looking for a full meal? There are snacks like cotton candy, candy, popcorn, fries, poutines, boneless wings, and impossible nuggets. The prices are very reasonable compared to the movie theatres. There's a kids menu all priced at $10, which includes fries and drink. I would recommend this place if you're looking to host a kids' birthday party. If you're looking for a fun night out with family, then definitely give this place a try. July 2025 updated review Playdium has upgraded their games since I last visited. There's a lot of claw machines and games where you could win some gift cards, electronics or plush animals. On a Friday night it wasn't very packed. Most of the midway games do not require any wait time. Each game has a different price point. There's a new Fast and the Furious driving game for 28 credits. Pretty steep. I did have fun playing the basketball game and the coin drop game. The snowboard game was pretty fun for only 6 credits. Great place to bring family or date night with your significant other. There's a licensed snack bar serving some bar food favourites.

If you're on the lookout for a unique date night or family bonding experience, look no further than Durham Escape Rooms. This exciting venue offers 13 original escape room adventures that cater to various skill levels, ensuring everyone can join in on the fun. Whether you’re sneaking into a basement to uncover a secret recipe or racing against time to rescue a friend from Doll Island, teamwork is key as you search for clues and solve intricate puzzles.
Amazing group experience! Two free hints - we used, and finished with 10 min to spare for our time slot. Staff is super friendly and very helpful (in and outside of games.) Great ambient atmosphere. Outside of games is a fun/jovial atmosphere. In-game was seamless and truly group oriented. The staff were fun and helpful (giving us the option for a guided hint or full out given-show of a hint.) Amazing, regardless. I'll definitely come back!!

Such a fun place! I've tried the Doll's Island (with 3 people total) and the Black Rabbit escape room (with 6 people total) and enjoyed both of them! The staff is also very friendly and it's a great way to spend an evening as the games are only 45 mins to an hour, and it's lots of fun.

Had a great time at Durham Escape Rooms. This was our first attempt at an escape room, so we didn't do that great.

Aspire Climbing Whitby is a fantastic facility for families and climbers of all levels. They offer a variety of activities including standard climbing with auto belay, bouldering, and a ninja course, making it perfect for kids. The staff provides thorough orientations for each activity and are patient in providing belay lessons. The booking process is easy and the facility has great amenities such as equipment rental and an area for weight lifting.
Aspire Climbing Whitby is definitely one of my favourite climbing gyms I’ve ever been to! Right when you step inside, the vibe is super welcoming and positive, all thanks to their awesome and friendly staff. No matter if you’re just starting out or you’ve been climbing for years, the team at Aspire really goes the extra mile to make sure you feel at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and walk you through the introduction in an expert manner, making you feel comfortable right off the bat. As well, the front desk staff are relaxed, but still professional, helping you through any transactions and questions you may have. The bouldering area is a total standout. There’s a great mix of routes that cater to all skill levels. You’ll find everything from easy, fun problems for beginners to tough routes with overhangs and tricky holds that really challenge your skills. The layout is smartly designed, giving you plenty of room to climb and fall safely, and they keep switching up the routes to keep things interesting. Furthermore, competitions are hosted periodically which bring the climbing community together and allow people to strive for achievement. On top of bouldering, Aspire Climbing Whitby has a bunch of other climbing options like top-rope, lead climbing, and auto-belays. What really makes them excel, though, is their attention to detail and the cool extras they provide, like the ninja warrior course and the fitness zone. It’s a great spot for families, with activities for kids, or for anyone wanting to challenge themselves in a friendly atmosphere. I can’t forget to mention how clean and well-kept the place is. You can really see that the team takes pride in making it a space that’s not just functional but also a pleasure to hang out in. With the positive energy from the staff and other climbers, it’s easy to see why this gym is so popular.

Absolutely an amazing facility! The booking process was easy....didn't realize we had more than the 2hr block of time that we booked (Covid protocols). The employee that did the belay lessons were very patient and thorough, the employee that demo'd the Ninja course was great as well. Great place for families, first dates, new and advanced climbers. Will definitely come back and consider the membership.

The Canadian Automotive Museum, situated in Oshawa, Ontario, has been open to the public since 1963. It boasts a diverse collection of historic Canadian cars and other automobiles from around the world. Visitors can explore an array of unique and classic vehicles, such as the 1926 Bentley and the 1957 Dodge Regent. The museum offers an educational experience for both children and car enthusiasts, providing insight into automotive history and design.
My visit to this museum in Oshawa was a wonderful experience. As someone interested in cars but not deeply versed in the technical details, I enjoyed exploring the impressive variety of cars on display. The museum was well-maintained, and the exhibits were organized nicely. The staff were super kind and helpful. There were also a few free visitor parking spots, which was a nice addition. This museum is catered to everyone—children, adults, and seniors alike. Whether you are a car enthusiast or just curious, in my opinion, it would definitely be a fascinating and enjoyable place to visit.

Great collection of vintage and classic cars! The Canadian Automotive Museum may not be huge, but they’ve done a fantastic job managing the space they have. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into preserving and presenting these vehicles for future generations—and we should be thankful for that. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was pleasantly quiet, which gave us time to really enjoy each display. Free parking was a nice bonus too. Admission was very reasonable—just $16 for an adult—and you can easily buy tickets right at the door. There’s also a washroom inside, which is always good to know when visiting with family. If you’re even a little interested in automotive history or just looking for a unique local outing, this place is definitely worth a visit!

As a car enthusiast and from the land down under (Australia) I travelled far and wide to visit this place. There are some beautifully preserved and presented vehicles to admire and read about. While the cars are tightly packed in some places , this museum could do with some extra space. However I enjoyed looking and admiring at the Canadian Automotive Museum’s history and knowledge. Allow an hour or two to take in all that it has to offer.

2025 May 4.5★ A great museum with many historic and iconic cars. With 2 stories and about 50+ cars, this place is worth checking out. Certainly wasn't expecting there to be that many cars upstairs. See the first hybrid gas electric vehicle, back to the future car and others. Adults $16 Street parking. Expect to spend about 2 hours inside. Non profit and great for the community.

The museum is located in beautiful downtown Oshawa, in an historic commercial building. There's free parking on site, as well as metered street parking in front. Entrance fees are very reasonable. The first floor has many first rate, rare and expensive collectible cars, including Lester Pearson's custom Buick staff car, and the exquisite 1914 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, driven by Prince Edward ( not the current one, the King Edward VIII one) during his 1919 debauched jaunts around Montreal. Additionally there's rare treasures like a 1930s Bugatti race car, a Packard Twin-Six, and an aluminum classic blower-Bentley. The upper level has a mix of more ordinary cars plus some rare gems like a early Chevrolet converted to snow use, a friction drive CarterCar, a Brooks Steam car, and Canada's earliest existing electric car. Or, more precisely, the remains of it. One of the features of this museum is many cars are unrestored. They're displayed with the accumulated wear, use, dents and patina accumulated in their actual useful existence, decades or even a century ago This adds authenticity and realism to the displays. Of particular interest is their life-size diorama of a barn -find Buick. This museum is worth a visit, even if you've been there in the past. I last visited in the 1990s, but I found many cars on display weren't present back then. A visit takes about 1 to 2 hours to take everything in. There's some opportunities for better displays. They have both a DeLorean AND a Bricklin, two completely unrelated but very similar cars, in their history, engineering, development and marketing. They're missing a huge opportunity by not displaying them side-by -side with a comparative analysis of their circumstances. Such a display would be a real standout, especially given that the DeLorean is popular, but few people remember Canada's own Bricklin. Otherwise the museum is well done.

Art museum
The Robert McLaughlin Gallery is an art museum located in downtown Oshawa that displays a vast collection of Canadian modern art. The gallery boasts permanent and rotating exhibits, including an extensive selection of Indigenous artwork. Visitors can enjoy browsing the three floors of exhibits free of charge, though donations are accepted at the front desk. In addition to showcasing local artists, the gallery also offers art classes for all ages and hosts a summer camp for children. A gift shop is available onsite as well.
While researching museum/art gallery wedding venues in Durham, my now-husband and I came across the RMG. We booked a tour right away and met with Carole. The tour was great and Carole is so personable. We ended up booking the Isabel Gallery for the ceremony, Arthur's for the reception, and the Lobby for welcomes and dancing. Although we didn't book the backyard, we were still welcome to use it for our wedding photographs. We then visited again just to explore the gallery, and wow! It's so much bigger than it looks. There were so many exhibits filled with amazing art from both classic and contemporary artists. We even saw works from students of nearby schools (such talented young artists)! The wedding day came and everything happened so seamlessly, even with the 4pm set-up time. The team set everything up so quickly and exactly the way we had planned in our set-up maps (provided by Carole). The team, especially Carole and Brigitte, are so kind and upbeat, it was truly such a wonderful day! Our friends and family can't stop talking about what a wonderful venue we chose. We even visited soon after the wedding as we left some of our items, and Carole kindly set them aside for us to pick up. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Upon entering The Robert McLaughlin Gallery, I was immediately greeted by two very attentive individuals. As I ventured further into the space, I had the pleasure of speaking with Heather, who was not only kind and professional but also exceptionally knowledgeable. Despite the gallery not being at full capacity during my visit, the experience was nonetheless quite enjoyable. It was calm, thought-provoking, and stimulating—full of artistic talent for anyone who appreciates fine art as much as I do. I would highly recommend taking the time to explore and savor the experience. It was not rushed, and while the gallery may not have been fully complete in its offerings, it certainly feels like a work in progress. I look forward to returning and continuing to support this wonderful venue.1

Gardens
The Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens is a diverse garden complex with seasonal displays of peonies and lilies. It features walking paths, waterfalls, and a small stream that adds to the serene atmosphere. The gardens are well-maintained and offer a great opportunity for walks, picnics or picture-taking. Kids can enjoy two small playground structures in the picnic area. During peak season, visitors can witness a gorgeous display of various peony varieties at the popular festival.
Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens is a hidden gem and such a perfect spot for a relaxing day out! There’s plenty of free parking, which is a huge plus, and the place is full of photo opportunities — no surprise there were lots of people dressed up and taking pictures all around. The picturesque bridge over the stream is especially beautiful, though it did feel like people were just standing on it forever without actually taking photos, which made it hard to get a clean shot — but that’s part of the charm of a popular spot, I guess! The gardens are full of flowers and very well maintained, and the stream adds a peaceful vibe as you walk along. I saw lots of families with kids and dogs, and the two playgrounds (one for smaller kids, one for bigger ones) are a thoughtful touch. Bird lovers will enjoy it too — I spotted a variety of birds just sitting and watching. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for a leisure walk, a casual picnic, or a peaceful nature break right in the city. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful location to take a stroll or to sit by the stream and listen to the water, great place to walk your dog or let your kids ride their bikes. I definitely didn't see the whole garden as we only soaked up the sun and beauty of one area for a short period of time. I'll definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again.

Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens A peaceful gem in the heart of Oshawa! The gardens are beautiful, especially during the Peony Festival in late spring. Perfect for a relaxing walk, photos, or a quiet picnic. Free entry and parking are a bonus. Best visited in May or June when flowers are in full bloom. A lovely spot to unwind in nature!

Visited the Oshawa Botanical Gardens today for the Peony Festival, and it was truly a beautiful experience. The gardens are exceptionally well-maintained and clean, offering a peaceful and scenic getaway right in the city. The variety and diversity of flowers—especially the peonies—went well beyond my expectations. Every section of the garden feels carefully curated and offers something unique to admire. The festival itself was vibrant and welcoming, with plenty of local vendors offering a wide range of unique, handmade, and specialty products. It added a lovely community feel to the natural beauty of the space. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing day out, whether you're a plant lover, a photography enthusiast, or just someone looking for a breath of fresh air.

Went about a week after the peony festival (mid-June) and the peonies were still in full bloom. It was kind of like a labyrinth walking back and forth through all the rows of different varieties. There are also other gardens that are meticulously kept and clearly cared for by loving gardeners.

Linton's Farm Market is a beloved local market offering a variety of fresh produce, baked goods, cheeses, meats, and other food items. While it doesn't offer apple picking like some nearby farms, it makes up for it with its charming atmosphere and attractions for families. The market features a kids' play area with carnival-style games and beautifully crafted play structures. Additionally, there are activities such as a sandpit, tricycle race track, corn maze, and fenced maze to keep children entertained.
Awesome experience! I went strawberry picking for the first time; the weather was great and the strawberries were super super sweeeet and fresh! You can purchase from a quart basket, 2lb, 3lb or a 5lb bucket but each person entering the farm has to purchase at least a pound. I’d definitely come back for more and for pumpkin season too! There was a little section to see a little bit of animals and a farmers market in the front to purchase fresh farm goooods!

My kids had an absolute blast! The playground is FREE and there was so much to do! It felt so peaceful beside the fields. The animals were fun for them to look at. Lots of fresh produce in the market. There was also a nice shaded area to have a picnic at the tables. I’m definitely coming back!

Amazing place. Everyone that works here is amazing, very friendly, helpful and kind. I brought my grandmother in a wheelchair for the strawberry pick your own experience and they had a shade place in the field where she stayed and was able to enjoy the view, the sweet smell of the strawberries in the field while we picked some to bring home. She was able to go on the wagon ride to the field and the wonderful staff helped her get down the steps. She was very happy, we all had a unique experience, we will never forget. We recommend visiting this farm 1,000% Thank you all so much.

Best farm for kids ! A whole experience and a great price. Tractor ride out to the pumpkins, amazing pumpkin house for photos, two corn mazes and a kids play area that you could spend a whole day at. Snacks are available and washrooms and lots of parking. There is even a pumpkin cannon that goes off a few times a day and shoots pumpkins into the field. There is a little animal zoo to look at animals. We also went strawberry picking in late June 2025 there were still so many delicious berries & for a great price. There was no admission into the strawberry field just pay for what you pick. The tractor ride was nice for the kids and we got to use the play area after!

The Oshawa Zoo & Fun Farm, located in Ontario, Canada, is a family-owned zoo offering visitors the chance to interact with a wide variety of exotic and domestic animals. With over 45 different animal species, including goats, camels, pigs, lemurs, kangaroos, and more spread across a large area. The zoo provides interactive experiences and educational programs for families and school groups.
Such a perfect place to visit with toddlers/young children. Great up close views of sheeps, goats, horses, pigs, llamas, alpacas, donkeys, Lemurs, Kangaroos and more. The best part is that most of the animals are so happy to be fed and you can buy popcorn for 3.50 to feed them. Some of the animals even love to be pet which is nice to see. Highly recommend coming here, your kids will have a blast. Highlight for sure is the pony ride $10 for 2 laps. We will definitely return.

We visited Oshawa Zoo and Fun Farm on a weekday with the family, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The farm is spacious and well-maintained, making it a perfect spot for families and kids of all ages. One of the highlights of our trip was feeding and interacting with the animals. They are friendly, well taken care of, and clearly love the attention, especially when you bring along popcorn, which they absolutely enjoy! The pony ride was another big hit, especially for the kids, adding an extra bit of fun to the day. We brought our own food and appreciated that the farm provides plenty of picnic benches, which made it easy for us to relax and enjoy a nice family lunch in a peaceful setting. The overall environment felt safe and family-friendly, with plenty of open space for kids to run around and explore. What we loved most was how engaging and interactive the experience was, not just looking at the animals but actually being able to feed them and spend time up close. It’s an activity that everyone, young and old, can enjoy together. We had such a great time that we’re already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a fun and wholesome family outing, Oshawa Zoo and Fun Farm is definitely a must-visit!

We loved visiting the Oshawa Zoo! It’s absolutely beautiful, with plenty of open space to move around. We went on a lovely Saturday and it wasn’t too busy, which made it really relaxing. It’s a great place for kids to run around and for families to enjoy some quality time together. We really loved it! The only downside is that it’s not very wheelchair-accessible, as there weren’t enough paths, but the scenery and overall experience more than made up for it.

A great way to spend a couple hours keeping the kids entertained. Get up close, feed and even occasionally give the animals some pets. Staff are friendly and keep everything as clean as a farm can be. Only warning is check the fences before you stick hands through, some sharp spots still exist. All in all the kids loved it and we got lots of nice memories.

Chuck E. Cheese is a family-friendly chain renowned for its arcade games, pizza gatherings, play zones, and mouse mascot. I recently attended a birthday party at the restaurant and it was an incredible experience as the children had a blast. There is a dedicated area for birthday parties where kids can come together, while the play area is shared among all visitors with plenty of entertaining games to enjoy. The Whitby location has ample space to accommodate 80-100 guests for such occasions.
My family and I came to a birthday party. My son had a lot of fun! The food is very good they had pizza and chicken. There was also dip n dots ice cream for desert. They had trampolines but you have to pay $10 a day. The games were a lot of fun and it was packed so the vibes were good.

Underwhelmed with chuck e cheese especially with all the new play areas opening up! It was just dim and depressing! More of a nostalgia thing taking my toddler. Arcade games and rides are ridiculously dated, the lagged (the poor fuse ball machine for toddlers released the puck 30 seconds later..) , some are way too loud… I had to look at my mom like wtf, lol, not sure “why” this place is still standing but if the moneys flowing I understand “how”! We have the Bronze play pass which allows 2 free entry and play for an hour for 2 months, it’s okay and but my toddler is ready to go with about half the time left. It’s boring topped with an uninviting atmosphere. Decent prices for parties- also wasn’t charged the first time to use trampoline (not sure if that was a courtesy or first time no charge deal) but it’s $15 or $10 and I just think you should let the kids jump for free, there’s no ball bit or tunnels or anything…

The food here looked re-used but the problem was Me, and my brother we're taking our children to chuck-e-cheese and my brothers daughter went on the clock ride, and the workers didn't buckle him in properly and she fell off at the top of the clock and started to cry cause she banged her head. It hurt so bad and I almost thought she could've gotten a concussion. But it was even worse then just her head.. She landed on her arm and it snapped and she cried so loud. I instantly rushed her to the hospital and now shes healed but I am still disappointed that this is how they help the children here, Take my advice and don't come here. I got a photo before she fell.

Always a fun time especially when you get an all you can play card for your kiddo. I would say the new bounce area is really meant for toddlers only as it's small in size but wasn't crowded at all when we were there. They do have games for toddlers to adults and it seems they change up their games from time to time. I would recommend going on a day when you can get a deal as that's the best value for your money. Love that they do the selfie pic so you can ensure you child only leaves with you at the end of all the fun.

Hadn't been here in 20+ years, so suffice to say it looked a little different than what I remembered. Gone are the colorful play places, in order to make room for more arcade machines I suppose. Went with my parents, my wife, my nephew and my son and, overall, we had a pretty good time! One downside is that a number of machines + kiddie rides weren't working when we went. Appreciated how spacious it was between arcade machines (seemed a lot more cramped when I was a kid) and there was tons of seating. What can you say about the pizza at Chuck E. Cheese? It is what is: not terrible but by no means great - it gets the job done between arcade sessions.

Purple Woods Conservation Area is a great place to visit, especially during the maple syrup festival. The well-maintained 400m trail leads to the house where maple syrup is made, with interactive sections for kids along the way. There are amenities like washrooms and alcohol for hygiene provided. The trail also features story boards telling the story of 'Grandpa's Sugar Bush,' making it a nicely organized experience overall.
Went for the Maple Syrup festival with my toddler, and they did a wonderful job with the event for all ages. The only suggestion would be to advertise on the event page that there is an additional cost for things such as the horse-drawn carriage, taffy etc and it is cash only. I was thankful that I had just enough cash on me, but I saw many people scrambling for cash and digging through change to enjoy the extras.

Wonderful area to spend an hour with kids and show fall colors. Trails are wide and easy, pretty short so I would say not more than 2 hours in total you will spend there. Huge parking lot, so everybody will have room. I didn't like to come with a dog, plants on the trails shoulders are sticky and living small seeds on the fur, that can be super dangerous especially if the dog is long coated. For me probably it is a one time visit, but if you are living somewhere in 10-15 minute area it is totally worth it!

I enjoyed the walk / hike. The terrain was flat and some little hills. It took me about an hour to walk both trails, and I got a really nice workout in which you can bring your dog, but it has to be on a leash. No tick signs posted . It's fairly cl9se if you live in Scarborough. It took me about 37 minutes to get there. There is a washroom down by the sugar shack . Outside of that, it co7ld use a few more washroom.

We joined the maple syrup festival today, and the experience was great! The weather was fantastic. The place is quite nicely maintained. The trail is about 400m, leading you to see the house where maple syrup is made of. The house is at the left side of the end of the trail. And on the right, there were several interactive sections for kids to explore: two giant woodened connect 4, one giant pot, showing how people concentrated the syrup, and so on. There is also a washroom next to the pot and alcohol was provided just outside for hygiene purposes, which is nice. The trail is not a loop, so in order to go out, just follow the original path. On your way out, there are story boards telling the story of "Grandpa's Sugar Bush". It's very nicely organized overall!

Stopped here to stretch my legs on Easter driving home from my brother's. It's not a big park, mostly focused on the sugar shack and maple syrup collection. Have to admit I nerded out a bit amongst the sugar maples. It's a more modern setup than I am used to seeing so that was something. Nice views from the sugar shack. Also connects to a regional trail system that looks to go on for miles.

We used the Jubilee for our wedding and worked exclusively with Angela to coordinate our day! Angela is so lovely and hard working, she really made us feel comfortable throughout our wedding planning process. The venue was big, clean and the food was excellent. Our bartender was excellent and despite us having 140 people at our wedding she moved like lightening the entire night, no one was left waiting for more than a minute! Our only small complaint was we felt the AC was not quite adequate enough to feel fully comfortable with the number of people inside the venue and combat the heat outside. We were not "melting" but guests commented that is was warm in the building all night, but no a big issue.

It wasn't decently busy on a Saturday, but not so crowded that there was a wait or anything like that. Facility was fairly clean. Plenty of parking on site.

Came here from out of town on a whim when our original plans got changed due to rain. We found this through a recommendation and wow! Such a good deal, around $25 and I had hours of fun. Big arcade with a nice selection of games, plus rides, bowling, and mini golf all in one spot. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for something fun to do without spending a ton.

Had a fantastic time at NEBS Fun World with the kids! My son couldn’t get enough of the bowling and arcades, while my daughter absolutely loved the rides and indoor play area. There’s truly something for everyone here, no matter the age. It’s a great spot to spend quality time as a family. You can really tell it’s a well-run family business—clean, welcoming, and full of fun. A definite must-stop if you're in the area!

We already love Nebs for PA Day bowling and the arcade, but after hosting my daughter's birthday party here last night I'm just blown away by how well organized and accommodating they are! Nicholas helped us with the timing of our event and had everything operating like a well oiled machine, with the play/food schedule set and delivered exactly to our expectations. We had a pretty varied age group and having the play place/party section entrance monitored by a staff member just gave that extra peace of mind that we wouldn't have any toddlers wandering away. The games and rides are a ton of fun with something for everyone, including little kid approved VR "games" that are really just an immersive movie experience, so there's no level of skill required. They had traditional arcade and skill games as well. Their package pricing is competitive with all the other local party destinations in Durham, but the value for dollar is greater at Neb's, with a better play structure, more activities, better food and more customization options. Overall an excellent spot, definitely considering returning for my older child's birthday on the bowling side! Thanks for making it such a memorable event!!

Went here ages and ages ago for a birthday as a child. Now as an adult I stopped in kind of randomly with some friends. The four of us spent some time bowling, spent some time rocking the halo arcade games and other arcade games. We ended up getting a lot of toy ducks, a cool toy snake and a great time. Food service staff and the arcade staff were absolutely amazing. We will be back.

This is a late review but a review need to be shared. My sister and I brought my neices and nephews (12 of them) for an experience Xmas gift. From the moment we entered the building the staff of ifly was top notch. We had Devin as our instructor. He was so calm and so helpful with each person. He noticed few a little nervous and did a great job trying to make them excited for the flights. Each person knew they were coming back. Hands down will come back and bring others.

Kids loved the experience and a lot of fun for adults too! Ty, our flight instructor, was excellent and answered all of our questions during our pre-flight training. It was a safe and exhilarating experience. Lots of smiles! Worth the two hour road trip! Kids can’t wait to go again. Thank you iFly Whitby!

Bought a voucher for my dad as a birthday gift. We finally went. The experience is very fun and exhilarating. Only complaint but it won't take away from the stars is the length vs cost. For the cost we didn't actually get much time in the air, and had to pay extra for photos and video. When we were there there was no one else, could have spiced up the day with a little extra time. Or maybe a free high fly. (Yes they charge you extra if you wanna go high, vs near the bottom)

Visitors can engage in thrilling battles while navigating through the maze. The staff is known for being friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a great experience for visitors. Additionally, they are attentive to details such as party room usage and are praised for their exceptional service during birthday parties.
Had a stress free party yesterday for my daughters 11th. 11 children, they had fun. Everything was well organized/ planned. Party room was a very good size. I liked that I was allowed to bring my own decor, snacks and drinks. The pizza they provided in my package was more than enough. The staff were VERY hospitable/ pleasant. I had no issues and everything was for a decent price.

This is a smaller size lazer warfare facility with lots of nearby parking, Shell Gas station, Tim Hortons, and Starbucks next door. There are two party rooms that can be booked. I was there on an early November Saturday, and the place was busy. There are only 7 small tables for parents to sit while waiting for their children. Unfortunately, half the tables are unofficially reserved by people living their pop l/water bottles or other items on the table. Goid luck finding a place to sit. You might want to brink your own seat. There are a few basic arcade type games, nothing exciting. A well stocked pop machine seems to be well utilized. It is well staffed, and that's a plus, but they're all behind the reception counter. It is under new ownership according to the big sign outside. If I were the owner, I'd be having my staff making sure the patrons have clean tables to sit at and that they're being taken care of. The bathrooms are cleanly designed and maintained. Though there is indoor skydiving facility within eyesight, I believe the only reason LaserMaxx is busy is because there isn't enough nearby competition given the market demand for children's (aged 4-15) recreational activities, especially for parties. However, the bottom line is that I find myself surrounded by very happy and excited children eager to strap on their lasers and show their predatory skills. Who's to argue with human nature. Please let me know if my review is useful to you.

There was an incident a couple accused my kids of stepping on their daughter and hurting her on purpose, we were not even near their children. One of the hostesses came to our defense and told them it wasn't our kids but they never apologized. Other than the incident we will come back in the future.

I appreciated that they could order an ice-cream cake without me having to worry about keeping it cool during transport. Even though we didn't pay extra for a dedicated server, our server provided excellent service by bringing in extra plates and professionally helping to cut the cake evenly for all the kids.

I had a wonderful experience for my son’s birthday. Robby was excellent! He was so pleasant and attentive to ensure the party went smoothly. The only thing I did not like was timing we got the room. You only have access to the room after the second game which left our guests with limited seating, no where to be comfortable and not enough time to set up the room. Other than that the experience was 10/10 thanks to Robby!

I highly recommend this location. Five stars all the way! Be sure to look out for Matt. :)

Fun experience overall, but they really should allow more time for each group on the course. We felt rushed the whole way through because other players were constantly waiting behind us. I’m sure the group ahead felt the same pressure. It takes away from the fun when you’re just trying to hurry up and get out of the way.

The trail was very quiet even on a Sunday morning. Well maintained trail, liked the stainless steel benches. Went to east, got to the shoreline beyond the boardwalk. The water in that section turned dark, heavely contaminated and smelly. The lake view was naturally beautiful. At the wastewater discharge, climbed up the cliff with the help of a rope, got back to the trail.

Fun place if you enjoy pinball or retro video games. The atmosphere and sounds bring back old memories of another era. Good times. The snack bar has a menu with a little bit of everything. They actually specialize in coffee also. If you like coffee, and want a coffee break or take one to go, the coffee is very good! Overall this place is great with super friendly staff. The retro games will sometimes snag a coin or two but the staff is extremely helpful to replace them no charge. That's part of the retro gaming experience. Even when the machines were brand new they used to nab coins. This place is worth the drive. This is our 3rd time here. My son recommends the Sonic Dog(chili cheese dog) for a snack. It's a big snack. My daughter says grab a box of popcorn. Do try the coffee ☕️ 😃

Pretty rad little spot. Came here for a birthday party on a Saturday night and it wasn’t so busy that you couldn’t get on any of the games or pinball machines - basically had the run of the place. A number of games/pinball machines were out of order, which was a bit of a bummer and a few didn’t work the best, but overall it was a pretty good experience. One of the best features is a little corner that has a couch and an old-style tv that plays retro games from Super Nintendo to PS2. Relived my childhood by playing Guitar Hero with my adult friends. Atmosphere was exactly what you’d want with a retro-arcade style place like this.

Our family doctor, Dr.Udeoyop, is absolutely fantastic and I have nothing bad to say about her. We were one of the first patients to sign up at this clinic back in 2015! Unfortunately the 1 star goes to the front desk staff. They used to be so fantastic years back, but the current staff is so a no-go. Absolutely impossible to get through to speak to someone and when you do, most of the time you are met with cold and rude behaviour. It's really unfortunate. The website is nice to book appointments, but for some things, you just need to speak with a live person. Very very frustrating.

Dr. Obga is an excellent family doctor—knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive. However, the front desk staff consistently make the experience less positive. They are often rude, dismissive, and respond with abrupt, unsympathetic replies, making interactions feel more like an inconvenience than a service. It seems I’m not alone in feeling this way, as other reviews mention similar issues. A more courteous and professional approach from the front staff would greatly improve the experience at this otherwise outstanding clinic.

I have only had great experience with this office. Dr. Ogba is wonderful and gives me the attention when it comes to my care.

He takes the time to address all my concerns respectfully.

It’s unfortunate to see that this clinic has such a poor rating as I have been a patient of Dr.Udoeyop for the last 11 years and she is absolutely phenomenal! I can honestly say she cares about my wellbeing, takes all of my concerns very seriously and has a wonderful bedside manner. I’ve also seen Dr.Ogba when Dr.U has not been available and he is an excellent doctor as well. I agree that the front desk staff can be quite “hard” and negative at times, but rest assured that you will receive great care at Harmony Valley Medical.

Have only ever had a great experience here. The front desk staff is exceptional. They are kind, polite, and organized. My entire family sees Dr. Kumar and he has only ever been genuinely helpful. He is intelligent, informative and provides great support. Any medical question have ever had for either myself or my 3 children has been answered by Dr. Kumar. Most times I only ever need a phone appointment and he can easily diagnose over the phone but is always available if I feel I need to come in in-person. Thank you to the entire team at Harmony Valley Medical for actually being a competent & courteous medical facility. We need more clinics like this!

Avoid if you need a walk in, probably the worst walk in experience. They are very unorganized and it’s very frustrating to be waiting for over an hour when other walk ins get seen first.

Lake View Area Park is a beautiful and peaceful spot, perfect for a relaxing day outdoors. The views of the lake are absolutely stunning, especially around sunset. There are plenty of walking paths, benches, and grassy areas to sit and enjoy nature. The park is clean and well-kept, with a small playground that’s great for kids and picnic tables for families. It’s also a nice spot to see birds and ducks around the water. It can get a bit busy on weekends, but it's still a wonderful place to unwind. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quiet, scenic place to spend some time!

Wonderful public park! It's always so clean and spacious, with a lot of different areas from a sandy beach, to a play ground for children, and lots of picnic tables. There are also multiple parking locations, a bus stop station and even a restaurant. The place is so nice and people are respectful to each other. I love coming here for picnics and sun bathe ☀️🌞 Thank you town of Oshawa! I hope we continue caring for this wonderful park together.

The park is nice and have a lot of scenic spots..The water was not so much clear and the fishes were at the shore but I think that is temporary..There was a nice beach and couple of food trucks, we enjoyed very much here…

If you’re nearby this place you have to make a stop and enjoy vibes. We are family with two kids 10 and 4. That was the right choice to have a family lunch here. Very clean and marvellous view of the lake.

Great place to go with a group of people, personal or work, just ensure if it's for an event that you get a paid permit, the security is always watching. Thank you for the safety. Washrooms need some serious in-depth cleaning....hourly... Please don't ever make it paid parking 🙏it's truly a blessing to not have to pay to walk around outside..let's not become Toronto. ✌️😄

The opening celebration for Fiesta Week at Memorial Park was fantastic. It was delightful to once again have the pleasure of listening to music in the park.
I've read some "warning" reviews of the place. I did see a few people there who looked homeless. But, my wife and I thoroughly enjoy walking to the park to just sit and chill in the afternoons. I love watching the squirrels scamper around, the occasional birds, and the roses have a pleasant scent.

It a nice spot when they have events there. Tbh I don't recommend this park . Definitely check all areas before bringing kids, dogs there are Serious safety issues, drug paraphernalia 💉 found daily, fights, stabbing, robberies, overdoses are a weekly occurrence. Ppl sleeping camping out, There Not enough shelter beds, places for them to go, so some stay at the park to remain close to services.

Nice, calm place. There is a stage, benches, a lawn, and public toilets. Musical events, entertainment in the form of trampolines, and face painting are often held. At Christmastime, a magical, decorated bus leaves from this park with songs and a tour of the Oshawa area. Sometimes homeless people are present because their shelter is nearby.

I've been waiting weeks for the city to wash all this bird poop off the beautiful fountain where I like to sit and enjoy the people walking by and the sound of falling water. Maybe Oshawa should focus on CLEANING UP instead of million dollar security to shoo the homeless down the street. Priorities MAYOR DAN!!!!!
