Ontario Place Reviews

Went for Aurora winter festival... Was more geared to children and families... Had zero adult only areas or attractions for good date nights....

Beautiful layout of walk trails with great scenery to take pictures at

Best at sunrise for quiet contemplation, photos of the skyline, sailboats or open water in the morning are also beautiful. Often visited by dog walkers, joggers, and wedding photographers.

Have been here many times before and it is a decent venue although the washrooms were not very clean and toilet paper and adequate devices and paper towels to dry your hands seemed to be missing the last time I was there and we were inside the venue about 20 minutes ofter the event began. Also shade was hard to find as only a small number of seating ares had umbrellas to hide from the sun, all easy fixes.

Nice place with fresh air for a walk with the view of 6ix.

Ontario place is gorgeous! Very good place to spend time! Highly recommend to check that place out!

Its a run down dumpy island thats just begging to be made back into a park

Came here for the Pizza Festival. Really liked it as it's so near the water! Getting here by transit however was frustrating... once you get off the streetcar, there are no signs telling you where to go and so you have to venture off trying to look for landmarks that will lead you to it. My friends guided me on the phone, otherwise I would have been completely lost. Once I finally reached it though, it wasnt so bad and I'm sure I could remember it for future events.

I 90km everyday and I visit ontario place everyday caz I love it

Watched cirque de Soleil there. A wonderful time, a must watch

Ontario place provides one of the most beautiful Lake ever seen it provides in to tainment for the turris also for locals with their boat skin lots of restaurants lots of activity around on tyria corporation prices for boden or skin is reasonable price minarets difference of provide delicious menus for the visiting and locals

Great venue for shows or just a walk about, lots of parking, TTC accessible, short walk from exhibition GO station.

Used to have so much fun as a kid, too bad it's closed.

A great recreational area. It contains marina, IMAX movie theater, island, beach, etc. 2 level patio is located on the island, but currently restaurants and stores are closed due to Covid.
A wonderful area for family and friends recreation.

The family goes evry year fer the air show which is alaways Amazing. Has rides venders. Never gets old hav fun every year

Ontario place is so underrated..this place is beautiful..perfect skyline view of the city both for downtown and South of etobicoke..great for biking, walking and picking.

Ontario Place is located on the shores of Lake Ontario... The views will always be nice no matter where you go. A lot of events are conducted on the grounds so it's not always the same thing, which is great because there is always something new to look forward to.

The venu is a nice place in the western extremity of Toronto. Have a few futuristic (already old fashioned) building. I went during for Victoria days. The only attraction was a few food trucks and a few booths to sell local handcrafted products. I bought a wooden plate from a young man.

Review for the light festival in the western part of the park.
1. Entry is free!
2. Cool light exhibits, meander the western grounds after dark and enjoy some interesting light installations.
3. Bring your skates!! Rent for a fee, or bring your own, and enjoy an artificial rink sheltered from the wind, with great music and best of all, it's not crazy busy.
3. Fire pits!! Bring your own marshmallows to roast.
4. You can bring your dog, just clean up after it please!
Downfall... parking is steep.

Visiting this week on UAV assignment capturing aerial images for the upcoming renovations. 3 Stars for obvious reasons. Reno time!

There wasn t much to do, there was barely anyone there and everything looked closed

It would be better if they open something in this location

King Crimson
but beer over priced and dishonest staff who type in tip when you order with CC

City of Toronto need to improve their services and provide more facilities for visitors. However, facility staff is cooperative and helpful.

Attended the Beer Festival and it was great! Would love to see more craft beer and food trucks for next year!

my childhood was spent here its sad to see how the park looks now

Great place.. This is where taco fest was this year.. It's perfect..

Friendly has gas pump attendants filling up boats. Enjoy going there!

Hopefully the Ontario government does something to revitalize this place. It's looking pretty sad these days while it's under development.

Whoever is in charge of this place should be fired. Only one place to buy water from on the whole west side of the island on such a busy and hot day!!! Waited in line for 40 mins to buy water from such a small booth. Thank god for the water fountains, but too bad they are located in such a weird location (Near Imax theatre).

The rainstorm that day really highlighted the natural beauty of the space. Too bad there are so many derelict structures on the site decaying away instead of being repurposed. The elevator to the main structure, although slightly bouncy, still accessible and operational and you can explore. The signature bridges/walkways sway in the wind and with each step - not for the faint of heart. The urban adventure/obstacle course on the site of the abandoned mini roller coaster/silos is awesome! Some hazards should be marked though for those with less intuition i.e. one of the silos can be accessed through a doorway and inside there are definitely sizeable spiders as well as maybe bats?

This review is regarding the Ontario Place that existed before there was a decision made to close it. It was amazing (especially when the Chinese Lantern Festival took place). I do not like the idea of it being closed and renovated.

Once upon a time this was a theme park. Now it is a waste of space.

Aurora Winter Festival held here was really awesome. A real winter wonderland.

Easy to get to if driving, a bit of a walk from ttc stop!

Beautiful sightseeing! Great way to see some of the magic of Toronto. Me and my other half recently went down to see the winter festival. Always do a great job setting up events definitely an enjoyable place to stop and see.

Ok place, bit put out as no truck parking especially when your there for a show, unless you want to pay for it.....adds up. Definitely needs more show truck parking thats free.

Easy to park, awesome views and beside Trillium Park which is stunning!

Beautiful park. Shame it s not more operational. Great for biking

Great place for events. Bathroom line-ups and over priced concession stands are the only downfall. Staff's great. Parking's ok. Access to Go-train is convenient.

Bring back the good times and keep the Marina open....

Had a wonderful time with the family. However the park is showing it's age and looks very tired with lots of rust and dilapidated buildings. High water lake levels have claimed and submerged some of the park. That being said my children had a great time on the pedal boats and putting their feet in Lake Ontario.

Found this hidden gem when I was looking to explore some other place. Its really really beautiful place where we can enjoy sunset to its fullest form. It also has access to water where people can enjoy little swimming as well. It has paid parking as well.

Beautiful place to relax.
THis days are not crowded due to covid19

So beautiful@night!Especially during this 2020 edition of film fest,tiff

HUGE UPDATE FROM MY RECENT REVIEW: This place is phenomenal!! It has a gorgeous park that's been retrofitted with tons of greenery and really nice atmosphere, after talking with someone trustworthy at the park, it will NOT BE turning into Casino, strip club, or condos (mostly due to bad foundation for large building). Some of the rides and stuff are still up which is really cool and nostalgic if you went there a kid. Definitely check it out, great place to bike and walk for suuuureee!!!

Great space. Lots of activities this Summer. I go to shoot hoops in the new activity space. I love that it s right on the water. I def recommend checking out this beautiful park.

Beautiful place to visit. Surprising amount of variety in all the areas that can be explored there. Events are always fun there.

Had a great time at the burger mania, would recommend going!!

Aurora Lights Winter Festival. Nice but over priced. If you are a family of 4 with kids over 12, be prepared to spend $100 ($25 pp) on entry alone. Lights are nice. Dress very warm. Skate rentals available. Long line up. For families with little ones, no indoor place to put skates on.
You get a free drink with adult entry. While good drink choices, not worth the wait. We opted out, lines were too long.

Very well the place to present the CIRQUE DO SOLEI. ..
