Activities We Did:
My little one played with all the toys there. They have a nice train set, kitchen set and lots of little toys in bins.
Good to Go!:
This place is not really busy, but it’s not very big either. They have a good number of toys.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
Their drop in hours are a bit inconvenient, since they start late in the afternoon when it’s our nap time. They do have a smaller play area where the toy lending library is where kids can play outside of drop in hours though.
Additional Ratings:

Activities We Did:
Ride-on cars, bouncy horse, balls, little people toys, slide, baby dolls + strollers, arts + crafts, dancing to the music, blocks, cars, musical instruments, ball popper, vacuum, and general mischief!
Good to Go!:
We’ve been going to this Community Centre since Avery was 6 months old. They have reasonably priced registered programs for all ages. They have amazing parties where they open up all the rooms, and planned outings. There’s a microwave, and juice provided. There’s a little mini-fridge and some small snacks in the front to the right of the desk.
Not so Much/ Suggestions for Improvement:
There’s parking behind the building, but the passageway has a hydro meter that can prevent full-sized strollers from getting through. I just lift her right over.
Quick Tips for Others:
They don’t enforce the $2 fee at all for non-members.
There’s a Toy Library for members. It’s also known as the Toddler Room, and is open even when the main room is closed for registered classes. There’s a great assortment of toys in both rooms. You can use the computer in the Toddler Room while your little one plays.
We really love this place!
