Playcious is the place to be for family fun. The play area is enclosed and has a soft floor—perfect for crawling tots.
There are multiple play areas, including a gymnasium that’s full of colourful activities that will encourage kids to test
their speed, flexibility and balance. Kids can also reach for the stars (celling) on the large trampoline. To play here you
can purchase a general entry ticket or a monthly/yearly pass. Kids under one are free with the purchase of an adult
pass.

2. Balls of Fun
Welcome to North America’s only kid’s ball gym. Founded and created by an experienced teacher and mother of two,
this playground was made to encourage kids to practice ball skills. Little ones ages three and younger can enjoy the
baby and toddler gym. The soft-play structure is perfect for crawling and cruising. Not to mention there are tons of
balls to throw and kick—make sure you’re little one attempts to dunk the ball through the ginormous hoop. Older kids
have their own gym where they can dunk and kick with all their friends. Kids can try different ball activities like
balancing and bouncing. The giant jungle gym complete with slides is perfect for kids and adults, so you can join in on
the fun without hurting your knees. Don’t forget to try out the ball pit—it’s full of balls (and fun!) Go play:

couches. There is also a cafe with tons of tasty treats from pizza to danishes and healthy snacks too. Kids under six

4. Playtown
Get ready for some play-based learning at Playtown. Kids can explore eight gorgeously designed playhouses, each
with a different theme like the theatre, the grocery store, the raceway — which is a secure space to zip around on
PlasmaCars — and Toddler Town, which is designed for newborns through to little walkers. Parents can see the Main
Street area of Playtown from the toddler area, so they can keep an eye on their older children while their babies have
fun, too. Playtown also features a café with security monitors that focus on the playhouses so caregivers can have a
snack or drink while still watching their kids. Annual memberships are available, as is drop-in play. Little ones younger
than one are free with a paid child.
