Woodbine Mall & Fantasy Fair

I've been to Woodbine Fantasy Fair a couple of times, but this time, I came back after about 6 years, and I saw some rides were still not working! We enjoyed our time there, and my kids loved it, but I expected more maintenance of this fabulous place. I felt like it was neglected! Although it is old, this is the only big amusement park in Toronto. With a manageable investment, it can be the best, it has the potential to be. I hope they do something for this wonderful place. All the decorations, dinosaurs, animals and designs were wonderful when it was opened 50 years ago. That was a unique place at that time and is still amazing. When you step into the park, it gives you a good feeling like Pinocchio in wonderland. I still recommend Woodbine Fantasy Fair to those who have kids. The rides are still fun for them, especially to escape the cold weather in the wintertime. I visited this park at Christmas time, and the vibes were so good with Christmas songs and decorations.

this mall is insane!!!! it feels like you stepped right back into the mid 2000s. tons of stores that carry deadstock items, making it super nostalgic lol. the amusement part was also so cute, big dinosaurs and rides!! LOVED IT

Went there today, a lot of the rides were not working unfortunately. It’s such a nice park but it definitely needs alot of work and some upgrade to bring it back to life.

The mall has a nostalgic, somewhat dated vibe that doesn’t exactly scream luxury or trendiness. With its plain decor and somewhat limited selection of stores, it feels a bit like stepping into a time capsule from the 70s. However, the food court is a highlight, offering a wide range of dining options in a spacious setting, which is a nice perk for families and large groups. The real star of this mall is undoubtedly the Fantasy Fair, a vibrant indoor amusement area that adds a unique charm to the place. Fantasy Fair is a family friendly attraction featuring a good variety of rides for kids, which makes it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. Unfortunately, some of the rides weren’t operational when I visited, which was disappointing but didn’t entirely detract from the experience. The mall also offers small, stuffy rides fun features that add to its family appeal. Overall, while the mall may lack the excitement of modern shopping centers, its emphasis on family-oriented attractions makes it worth a visit, especially if you’re looking for entertainment for kids.

Good place to go with kids for winter . Rides are minimal but well maintained. Though all rides are good we loved the carousel and train ride !
