What to do and see in Old Toronto, Canada: The Best Game & Entertainment Centers

April 2, 2022 Deane Carmody

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.

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.

Pew Pew is Toronto’s first airsoft target practice range. Similar to archery or axe throwing methods, we promote recreation and entertainment through airsoft guns in our practice areas, shooting stages and obstacles. Whether you are an enthusiast or new to the airsoft world, we welcome everyone to try the experience out. Our coaches will first guide your group through our safety rules and the basics of operating an airsoft unit. You will then have the opportunity to test your skills in our practice area. Once everyone feels comfortable, we will move the group to our shooting stages and finish off in our obstacle course. If you are planning your next group outing, Pew Pew is a blast and a great time for getting together with friends, corporate events, bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthdays, and more.

This is a really different experience if you are looking for something to do with the family or friends. You start out with some target practice with excellent quality BB pistols. After you become familiar with it, you move onto a series of fun target shooting and shooting competitions. You then advance to Assault Rifle style BB guns that are of extremely high quality. The session ends with a shooting race course where you compete against someone else. It is safe, professionally conducted and GREAT fun! The establishment is also top tier in quality.
