- Laura F.Buffalo, NY3 contributionsGreat Aviaton store. Filght instructor was very nice and explained everything.The owner was nice and gave us some free keychains. Very good store. Please just change the Google maps photos because they showed a lot of things that weren't there,thus I had to get different models. Still a great store! Recommended to anyone who likes planes.Written June 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ann SToronto, Canada80 contributionsMy office went here a few years ago and I didn't go, I didn't think it was for me. I went this time and had a great time. It was fun and the staff were amazing!! Marcus and Patrick were excellent in giving instructions, hints and very accommodating to me who was with a cane and a scooter. Brian was great behind the bar. Their smiles were great, their personality is excellent for customer service work. You do get to find out who is competitive at your work. I also thought it was great they have pink t-shirts and any profit goes to non-bullying (may not be the right words but you get my drift). Thank you for a fun day.Written March 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rose HCollingwood, Canada5 contributionsWe took our whole family to the show for Christmas, age 5 to 60, 16 of us in total. Everyone enjoyed the show. The entire experience was friendly, efficient and entertaining. I can't think of one thing that that needed improvement. Well work the money spent.Written January 7, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- MattToronto, Canada88 contributionsIncredible set design, ingenious puzzles, and immersive gameplay. Looking Glass is one of the best! We did Maryweather Mansion first and enjoyed it so much we came back to do Walden's Wizarding Shop. As good as Maryweather Mansion was, we were blown away by Walden's. It's fantastic for groups with younger children, the fantasy element is impressive, and it was expertly designed. Just a whole lot of fun!Written December 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- stenoodieCanada2,969 contributionsA good solid climbing gym with an area for autobelays as well as top rope and bouldering. Large parking lot, separate male and female changerooms, water fountain provided.
The benefit of using the auto belaying system is that you can climb by yourself without having a partner. However, when you get tired on the auto belay, you can’t just sit back and rest unlike the top rope method of climbing. Once you let go, you fall back to the ground. It’s more exhausting this way since you have to scale the route in one go.
Rock climbing is definitely something to enjoy every once in a while. My biceps and arms were so sore the day afterwards — I definitely worked out those areas.Written January 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CanadianJ975Markham, Canada38 contributionsHIghly recommended for families. We took our 5-year old grandson and we all enjoyed it. The actors brought humour, action, and a wonderful way of managing kids on holiday. People may think the experience needs more activities for the kids but there's very little space on the dock or on the boat, so we felt the actors did the best they could with the space and time available. The staff also called us - phoned us! - 2 days later to follow-up and ask us for feedback. We were so impressed. Well done to all the staff involved!Written September 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Claire T4 contributionsThis was a risky 80th birthday present for my mum and it was absolutely wonderful!
Both my parents turned 80 this year and I wanted to demonstrate how they're not getting older but continue to be adventurous and try new things. They cannot stop talking about how much fun they had and keep boasting to their friends with stories and pictures. I must confess that I in my 40's I lost to two pentioners.
My biggest take away from the experience was how AMAZING O'neil was. He was so calm and patient and spent so much time with us. He is a world class employee and BATL Axe should be proud to have him there. I've been once before at a different location but O'Neil at the Stockyards just made the whole experience wonderful.
I recommend this experience to everyone of all ages.
Thank you, Claire Thomas.Written July 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mary D1 contributionThe staff was very professional. They take their jobs seriously and they take safety seriously. This was reassuring for me, as I was very afraid.
The experience was absolutely terrifying. When you're standing with your toes hanging over the edge, you can't feel the tether unless you push on it. It really just feels like you're standing on the edge of the building and nothing is keeping you there. When I looked down the length of the building at the city, it made me queasy.
It's beautiful but it's like your mind can't make sense of what you're seeing because you're so high up and it seems like it couldn't really be happening. I went in November, so it was also extremely windy. There was a gale force wind blowing on one side of the tower so I had to shuffle to the protected side.
When I was on the ledge I froze and the instructor was patient with me. She seemed like she had dealt with people freezing in terror before, which makes sense.
The experience was very worth it. I see some people mentioning the price. I'm glad it costs what it costs. This is one activity where I don't want a single corner cut or any stone left unturned. I want the staff paid well and the equipment maintained, so I think the price is fine.
They told me that some of the equipment is thrown away if there's a single thread askew, some stuff is repaired and those things are checked every single day (harnesses, etc). The metal pieces on the outside that are attached to the building that serve as the track for the attachment are inspected every year with some kind of scanning machine and if there are cracks they are replaced. Everything is rated well beyond the stress level it is subjected to. There have never been any injuries or deaths.Written January 17, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The people were also amazing with the bit of help they gave us.Written April 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Valérie F5 contributionsThe room (Shut Down) was a whole lot of fun, and hints are not too obvious when asked for. A very nice experience overall, and we'll be back for more.Written February 15, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BlueSkiesHappyDaysNewmarket, Canada57 contributionsWe were looking for an afternoon activity to do with our friends and our adult children aged 24 - 30. This was a great choice. There were 12 of us, but it would also be fun for couples or smaller/larger groups. The event was very well organized and we found the clues to be just enough of a challenge to keep it interesting. If you are an AGO member, call when purchasing your tickets because the price includes admission to the AGO. There is a prize for the winning team which is pretty cool. After the adventure is over, you can stay at the AGO if there were areas you still wanted to see. Overall, a fabulous afternoon of fun!Written January 22, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Daniel BUnited Kingdom3 contributionsWe had a lovely time being toured and spooked by Tori! Amazing storyteller sprinkled with a dash of humour and overall a great guide, definitely an awesome way to see the scary side of Toronto!
