Top 5 Performing Arts in Ontario

982 Wellington St. W, Ottawa, ON K1Y 2X8, Canada

“My first escape room experience was a journey back in time, immersed in a moody atmosphere with velvet and leather furnishings, creating a comfortable and fun setting. Opting for the Wonderland escape room with my partner, we had a blast. The host struck the right balance of being informative yet vague, offering slight clues that added to the adventure. Despite our rush to beat the clock, this cleverly designed room had us stumped at times. Our host, observing behind closed doors, provided hints via walkie-talkies, guiding us further along the challenge. Though we didn't beat the clock, the experience was incredible, filled with laughter. The staff, with their funny, cheerful demeanor, added to the delight. Eager to try again and hopefully conquer the next escape room challenge!”

250 St Paul St, St. Catharines, ON L2R 3M2, Canada

“Modern performing arts facility in downtown St.Catharines, great acoustics, bar.and layout. Easily accessible to parking and restaurants. Lighting and seating were excellent. We came to watch Pink Floyd Niagara, it was a grand sophisticated performance, with a large, talented group and excellent back up singers. It's definitely worth watching.”

400 Roncesvalles Ave, Toronto, ON M6R 2M9, Canada

“It was a nice cozy theatre. Smaller selection of films but the prices for everything is great. I'd recommend this for anyone who wants to have a trip back in time without a time machine. It also has accessible seating for people who need it. The staff was friendly and very quick to accommodate. My hands were full and they quickly opened the door. Almost immediately after the movie was done they came quick to start cleaning up . The only downside is that sometimes tickets sell fast but it's worth the experience even if it's one time”

408 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 2A7, Canada

“The Cameron House is a great place to catch a band play a set or two, on Queen just off Spadina. No cover, but it's always a good idea to throw something into the band jug to show your appreciation and gratitude. The beer selection is wide enough that there should be something for most people's taste. The house beers are all decent. The music often runs later than other venues, so you can come to the Cameron after having seen another show.”

220 Richmond St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1V6, Canada

“I love this place. Dance studios always keep me connected and give me a sense of belonging to the places I’m living in. And I could not ask for a better experience in Toronto. The dance instructors are very talented and knowledgeable and wonderful people. Dawson is a gem. The staff are super welcoming and they say bye too :D”

1922 County Rd 92, Elmvale, ON L0L 1P0, Canada

“What a fun place to take the kids for the day. We spent only a few hours here but we definitely could've spent more time if we weren't in a rush to leave. The cookhouse has some great fries. There are lots of activities for both kids and parents to enjoy together. We'll definitely come back again next year when the kids are older to enjoy more of the fun activities. The only downside is the line up at the front as they don't usually have more than one staff to help with ticketing. We bought our tickets online and did the waivers too but we were just stuck behind families who were lining up to buy tickets. It would be really helpful if they could just have one extra person there just scanning the online tickets.”

31 Gaudaur Rd, Woodbridge, ON L4L 3R8, Canada

“Brought 4 young boys to play, when we first got here we only had to wait for the last game to finish before they could start. But due to unexpected groups we ended up waiting more than an hour for the second game The staff was so accommodating and helpful.. Treated and explained the circumstances so patiently to very impatient kids. the customer service experience alone would be the reason to bring them back.. The kids still had a great time with the long wait playing games.. Definitely will bring them back Thank you fauz (sorry about the spelling) for all your help!”

670 Awenda Park Rd, Tiny, ON L9M 0B9, Canada

“This is an awesome park both for one day trip and for longer-term camping. There are 4 beaches, and those are very clean and picturesque. Trails are easy and beautiful. There is no reception in the park, neither on the beach, nor at the campsite, so be prepared and download maps you might need in advance. If you have kids, there is programming available. I strongly recommend meeting their naturalist Tim, who is very good at kids and very knowledgeable. Night sky is also something! Two notes to be prepared: 1) If you are very sensitive about the smell and cleanliness of a toilet, this park should not be your first choice. 2) Canoe rental needs $500 deposit.”

40 Benjamin Rd, Waterloo, ON N2V 2J9, Canada

“I visited St. Jacobs Country Playhouse this fall, and watched Mary’s Wedding, a romantic drama. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys theater. The theater was cozy and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The play was beautiful and moving, and the actors were superb. They made me feel the emotions of the characters and the story, the design elements were simple but effective.”

619 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z4, Canada

“From the first Jazzy Funk, I was shocked! The teacher's teaching speed is 0.5 times that of the Beijing dance club, and he is very patient and does not feel superior. Explain the degree of detail, for fear that you will not learn the kind of 😂 students can also ask questions, if you do not understand the words... The whole class was peaceful and love🎈 and the students encouraged each other 🙈”

295 Rectory St, London, ON N5Z 0A3, Canada

“Great walking track! Very Clean facility! Friendly staff. Haven't tried the food yet but the specials look good and priced reasonable.”

1099 Wellington St. W, Ottawa, ON K1Y 2Y4, Canada

“The Record Ctr. Is a treasure. If you love vinyl And all the tech and ephemera associated with it, this place is for you. Staffed by knowledgeable and welcoming music lovers, the aisles are full of used (and new) vinyl and used / curated (!) hifi gear and the walls are covered in posters and cool stuff. A great place to go dissappear from the world for a few hours.”

12 Alexander St, Toronto, ON M4Y 1B4, Canada

“I love this theatre, I've seen a few shows here and it's such a safe space and I'd highly recommend going to a show here”

Enter at Fanshawe Conservation Area Front Gate, Spriet Family Visitor Centre, 1424 Clarke Rd, London, ON N5X 4A1, Canada

“It's a very cool experience visiting here. It's like a time machine that will take you back to the past, quite realistically. Much of what's here is authentic from the era and even what's been rebuilt has been done so well.”

Robert C. Gillett Student Commons, 1385 Woodroffe Ave Room E 104, Nepean, ON K2G 1V8, Canada

“Went there to see The Wonder years last year and i find it to be a nice little venue with a lot of charm, then again, i went last week to see The Wonder Years again and still find the venue really cute. It sounded great both time and not too packed so it was perfect”

1711 Main St, Niagara Falls, NY 14305, United States

“the bar takes up most of the space. VIP is located upstairs with a view of the stage and floor below. no chairs (they were added on during my visit to watch an episode) so it’s a great place for concerts. very beautiful inside. the women’s bathroom was awful, however.”

215 King St W, Toronto, ON M5V 3G2, Canada

“This is a huge open public space. Mostly, it's open green spaces and sculptures with a water feature. It's a very corporate park surrounded by hotels and office towers.. There is no playground here for children. No dog park. It is mostly benches here and a few tables.”

651 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4Y 1Z9, Canada

“I haven't been to a production here in more than 10 years. I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of this small theatre. Seats have good leg room and nice cushion. The staff are super helpful and friendly. If you have the opportunity to see a show here, do it! Great little theatre. Would highly recommend 'Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of)'. Hilarious show with a strong cast!”

240 Wharncliffe Rd S, London, ON N6J 2L4, Canada

“My family attended the Polar Express Event and had an absolutely wonderful time! It was amazing to share this nostalgic experience with my kids ! They really went all out ! Fully loaded hot chocolate bar , golden ticket , bell from Santa’s sleigh! Well done Hyland staff! This was truly a memorable experience for our family! Thank you for adding some more magic to our Christmas! We can’t wait to come back !!!”

464 Spadina Ave. #462, Toronto, ON M5T 2G8, Canada

“In all honesty, last night we visited your historical establishment, much less for the bands featured on the bill than for the past and present mythical presence it represents to us. The El Mocambo was important to the launching or showcasing of some iconic musician’s future hall of fame careers. Our experience, yesterday, exceeded our expectations because of the personal treatment your attentive and knowledgeable staff afforded us. Showing us to all significant rooms, recording studio, and pointing out many historical facts about The El Mo while escorting us to our VIP seats and vantage viewing point. We can only but suggest that any music or history lover push this iconic venue to the top of their “bucket list”.”
