More cool stuff for Kids (and GeekDads) to do in Toronto…

by Mark Woodgate

NASCAR SpeedPark

A family favourite since its opening, the NASCAR SpeedPark is one of the area’s top tourist attractions offering five exciting go-kart tracks, kid-sized rides, NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway simulators, a SpeedDome arcade, Thunder Alley slot car racing, the Laser Tag arena, an indoor playground and a NASCAR merchandise and apparel gift shop.

Playdium

Into video games and simulators, then try Playdium in Mississauga. Over 40,000 square feet of simulators, rides, arcade games and more. Open from Midday most days.

CN Tower

Although I already mentioned the CN Tower in a previous post, I forgot to mention a few cool things about the visit to the CN Tower.

  • Elevators

    • - Travel at 33 km/h, Glass Fronted, ears guaranteed to POP!

  • Glass Floor

    • - Watch little kids scare the adults by jumping up and down on the glass floor, LOL! Its only 1122 feet straight down!

  • Security

    • - You stand in a booth and get blasted with little jets of air, the Smiths Detectors can test for miniscule traces of explosive on persons or clothing. Reminded me a little of the corridor scene in Resident Evil , very sci-fi. (Insider note there, most of RE and its sequel were shot in Toronto, they even blew up City Hall in RE Apocalypse!).

    Hockey Hall Of Fame

    Great place to see Gretzky’s first skates and stick, lots of other memorabilia, and The Stanley Cup!, great shop, and best of all you can try out against Curtis Joseph! Its all at the Hockey Hall Of Fame
