In today’s fast-paced world, there’s a noticeable trend of kids developing a strong reliance on gadgets. The era when children would happily engage in hours of entertaining, educational, and imaginative activities without the need for a tablet or smartphone seems to be fading away.
For those of us concerned about our children’s screen time, there’s good news. We’ve compiled a list of fantastic kids’ activities in North York that aims to inspire young minds to step away from the glowing screens and enjoy some quality, engaging experiences.

Came for a birthday party. Tailored more for arcade games which came unlimited for us. There is a play structure but not that big. Also a toddler area and potential to be a much bigger place although 20% of it was closed off. Had mini golf too and a pretty big table area. [Kinson Chik]
I just celebrated my son’s 7th birthday party here! I loved this place for many reasons.
1. Very accommodating
2. Able to rent out whole place
3. Huge party room
4. Don’t need much decor stuff as it’s a nice room with lots of colours
5. Super clean
6. Lots of fun things to do for every age group
7. Was happy we.could bring our own food
And the lost goes on
Highly recommend [Anna Siomos]
Me and my son were at the kids fun city in the weekend for the first time. He liked the place specially the Golf section. They have K
Laser room which was cool and the lights touch game. Also, a couple of Arcade machines in the basic pass. You have the option to upgrade your pass to use both sides of the playground. Overall is a good playground with nice and helpful staff. [Saeed Parsa]

We hosted our daughter’s 6th birthday party here last weekend. Kids and parents had an amazing time. Kids loved all the games and activities played. Emily was our host and she was wonderful and very attentive. We also dealt with Ashley with our booking and check out, She was also great. Would definitely recommend this place and plan to host here again. [Christine T]
We’ve always had a great experience at Active Kids Zone! We recently hosted our son’s 7th party here — the party coordinator was awesome and the team coach was the best, made the entire event so stress free and made sure all the kids had a blast! They helped with all set up, helped all along the two hours party, and took care of all the take down. It’s a wonderful value and a great experience! THANKS!! [Robert D]
We celebrated our son’s 6th birthday party at AKZ yesterday. We had 25 kids and went with the Jr. Sports activity. the coach let our son choose which activities he wants. The kids ran around, were active and having fun while doing it :). Ashley was such a big help with helping set up the room, serve pizza and dessert and cleaning everything up after! Everything went smoothly and we were very happy (especially the birthday boy!!). [Ziv Har-Gil Hava]

We had our son’s birthday here recently and everyone had an incredible time. We loved the fact that we had the place to ourselves. We can’t say enough good things about Nikki. You can tell she has an immense amount of experience with preschooler birthday parties and organized the party perfectly. She was incredibly accommodating and even able to repurpose birthday balloons from a previous party that ultimately saved us money. It made our lives so much easier having everything taken care of including serving the food and cake. The place was very clean and they took our son’s severe allergies very seriously. We are planning to return for his birthday next year! [Justine Sousa]
I can’t say enough good things about this place. We had a birthday party here and the experience was incredible – they thought of everything. The place was clean and everything was set up before we arrived as they allowed us to drop items off ahead of time. The staff was so helpful and took care of everything from the time we arrived to the time we left. I was able to relax and enjoy the party with the other parents and all leftovers were packed up and ready, they even helped me load my car up! Our guests were so impressed with the facility and the service. If you’re looking for a venue for your child’s party, this is it! We will definitely be back as our experience was unforgettable. [donna rai]
I Cant say enough good about this place!! one stop shop – the best and easiest birthdays you will ever book/host! I have booked many parties that all three owners have helped me, they help with the decor, loot bags, serving kids and guiding them so everyone sings happy birthday to the birthday boy (as in my case I have all boys). It is harder then you think to get so many kids to follow suit; but Niki with her mega phone gets the job done! Thank You Niki!!
What i love the MOST about this place is its wide/open concept. I have been to other indoor playgrounds and I have felt like i was suffocating.. this is 1000% not the case with Extreme Fun, high ceilings and wide open spaces allow for you to mingle with your guests, kids to run around playing, all while you feel like you can breath and be at ease!
Also, I have to say for sure the cleanest and most tidy of any other indoor playground I have seen.
If i could give this place more then 5 stars I would! [katia kostis]

We had a really great experience with this company for our daughter’s birthday party! Age appropriate entertainment and really interactive and fun! Kept the kids super engaged for their allocated time. [Praveena Simonpillai]
Thank you so much for all you have done for Penguin Private School. We have already hosted two events with the help of your company, both of which have been an absolute success! Our students truly enjoyed themselves each time and still talk about how much they loved it! Starting with beautiful costumes, fun interactive games (that even made all of our teachers dance), and above all, amazing actors, your company brought several fairytales to life for every student at Penguin Private School. We thank you for your professionalism, your flexibility and creative approach to children’s entertainment. We look forward to working with you for future events and parties! [Tatiana Liubavetskaya]
The worst and upsetting experience ever, not only that the entertainer did not show up, I was given any info as to why they are late only 1.5 hours after the promised time. The kids already waited and got tired and left for the day.No matter what the reason might be there should have been communication. My daughter was so unhappy as she was looking forward to meeting the character from almost a month. Thank you for spoiling the experience for us. [Blessy John]

We visited the Bubble and enjoyed so much.
Staff was really so friendly and caring. Specially Mr. Sandeep inflate the park lead was amazing and nice person. He guided and help us for inlated park. [Muhammad Shakir Qadeer]
This is the second year that my Knight celebrated his birthday at The Bubble! Last year for his 7th birthday and this year when he turned 8! Everytime he would say he had the best birthday party ever at the Bubble!!! And we referred 2 birthday parties there already with our family and friends. [Rhea Talarde-Villafana]
We had our daughter’s birthday party there, and the staffs were amicable and very organized. What makes the bubble unique? The way they set up and decorated the party room for us. And we were even assigned an individual host who cared for all the kids while they were inside the party room. I loved the designated host, and not to mention, after the party was over, the host cleaned up the space and packed up everything for us to take home. They made our party planning easy and stress-free. All our guests were happy and well pleased with the customer service. For sure, we will be going back there. They provide table clothes, plates, cutlery etc. [Nadian N]

Cute park were kids can hangout [Irving Santana]
I hate this place with every cell in my body. There is only one good swing that is easy to fall off of. The swings sound like a sad chicken. It is impossible to get up to the very mediocre slide. and the plane has graffiti on the inside and is littered with woodchips. This place is getting 1 star and 1 lawsuit from me.[Youverse 247]
This park is very close to Downsview drive test centre. Slides are great and wooden aeroplane is wounderful [supriya mor]

I’ve waited 15 years to go to Chuck E Cheese and I was not disappointed! The food amazing… The animatronics… Fantastic 😂 the games great… But! Reham was the highlight of the night, she’s friendly and kind and very professional I can foresee a future manager in her 100% we will definitely be coming back and it’s because of her 🩷 [Princess Spooky]
Location is Sheppard and Victoria Park beside winners. Lots of parking and spacious disable parking. Monday is not busy so my kids enjoy the place. Before you enter the premises you need to take selfie on your phone with your family instead of stamps. They have new arcade games and some classic like alley roller. Minutes work for my kids since they do love playing arcades. Clean washroom and friendly staffs. Many options on their menu. Recommend combo #4 stuffed crust pizza. Our favourite is app sampler. (order a deal to get 10%discount) Wednesday is much cheaper check their website for coupons if you want to save and have fun. They have awesome chuck e cheese mascot appearance and dance. Also backstage has all the animatronics characters playing on a band. Play with your kids to get more tickets they have lots of cool toys to exchange before going home. Fresh cotton candy is a must to my kids and dippin dots for desserts. Overall I do recommend this place to have fun and for birthday celebration. [J SR]
Nice place to take the kids for some fun. Plenty of games to choose from and gaming prices are fair. Nice large area for Birthday parties as well. Food is not good though and needs a lot of work to improve. I remember they used to have some pretty good Pizza back in the day and now it’s no good at all unfortunately. [VoudouLounge]
