Things to do in Toronto, Canada: The Best Fun Activities & Games

July 4, 2021 Yuk Petri

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

BATL - The Backyard Axe Throwing League

At BATL, the Backyard Axe Throwing League, we believe throwing a killer party should be fun, simple, and full of bullseyes. Whether it’s a stag, bachelorette, team-building, birthday, or fundraising event, it deserves to be memorable. No matter what BATL location you visit across North America, you can expect delicious food and drinks, axe throwing lanes, expert coaching, and a fun tournament. Boredom sold separately.

We went to BATL for a birthday party and had a blast. Hayden and Glen were great coaches and I would highly recommend it as a fun group activity. We booked 4 lanes, brought snacks and there is a full bar there. Hayden and Glen gave us some lessons and then ran a round robin for us. I’ll definitely go back and have suggested it as a fun outing for my girlfriends.

Bad Axe Throwing

Bad Axe Throwing Toronto is located in the heart of Junction area, near Runnymede & St. Clair Avenue West. We're just down the street from Walmart. We host corporate events, birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, or people looking for a fun outing with friends. It's a fun and exciting environment while learning to throw axes. Take your typical night out up a few notches by whipping perfectly sharpened axes through the air at wooden targets to challenge your precision and skill in a whole new way. You can bring your own food & drinks (this is included in your admission fee). Our Toronto facility was designed for memorable, fun-filled times because it’s where being bad is totally acceptable--and always feels good, even if your game isn’t strong. Each space includes fenced-off throwing lanes where an expert axe throwing coach will guide you on proper form and technique to really impress your friends.

We had a very good experience at Bad Axe throwing on February 22nd at walk-in time. It’s a nice welcoming place with a very pleasant smell of wood once you enter the room. The staff was very nice and accommodating, coming to us with some advices on effective throwing during our stay. Thank you for making our special family time such fun experience.

This was our first time doing an escape room and this one was certainly very fun. Because we a fans of the TV show, it made it all the more engaging. The addition of two actors in the game also added a wonderful element to the experience. The puzzles were challenging and you definitely had to work as a team to see how all the clues fit. I really didn't think we were going to figure it out. With less than 2 minutes to go, we managed to solve the mystery and help Murdoch escape imminent death! At the end, the actors told us that less than 10% of the groups are able to solve the game so we felt really good about that! All in all, definitely well organized and highly recommended.

Went to Levelup Reality for part of a birthday celebration (6 people) and had a great time. We were all able to play against each other and in teams, and could talk to each other via the voice equipment. There is a coach in your ear helping you along if you get stuck or have equestions. Overall it was a lot of fun, and as a first time experience, I'd highly recommend it.

My father, has a disability and needs a walker, called the dome and they set up handicap parking underneath the dome. We walked twenty feet to the elevator. Then to the 100 section seats which was another twenty feet, unbelievable, so easy, so convenient, just a great afternoon at the ball park. The Jay's and the dome make it so accessible for disabled people to enjoy the game, bravo, your the best

Caught a show here whilst staying in Toronto for the weekend. The show itself was fantastic and the performers/ comedians were really on point with some great improv bits weaved beautifully into their script. The venue and service made this an all-round top notch night. Highly recommend getting front row seats if you can, meaning you can walk in and skip the line to be seated right away. Will go again when next in Toronto.

Carlton Cinemas

Home to the subtitled set, the Carlton plays films -- many of them superb -- that frequently don't see the light of day anywhere else. Many of the offerings originate in France, Italy, Russia, or China; there's also a smattering of independent North American films. Buy tickets early on weekends.

I've been to this theater twice now, it's just a short ride from Union Station by subway. I love the decor with all the vintage movie posters on the walls. It has a real vintage feel to it, not like the cookie cutter big chain ones at all. A lot more character. The bathrooms were very clean, and the staff friendly. The smaller theater was much more intimate than the huge, boomingly loud chain ones. The ticket prices were also much lower than most theaters. I highly recommend this charming little movie house.
