The 10 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Toronto, Canada

April 10, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

The Canadian Italian Business and Professional Association (CIBPA) was thrilled to be celebrating our Season Opener dinner with the amazing Diane Dupuy and her Canadian treasure, Famous PEOPLE Players. We enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by these exceptional young people before being WOW-ed by an outstanding performance in the Phil Collins theater.

Reviewed By JCandAM - Toronto, Canada

We went to BATL for a birthday party and had a blast. Hayden and Glen were great coaches and I would highly recommend it as a fun group activity. We booked 4 lanes, brought snacks and there is a full bar there. Hayden and Glen gave us some lessons and then ran a round robin for us. I’ll definitely go back and have suggested it as a fun outing for my girlfriends.

Bad Axe Throwing

Bad Axe Throwing Toronto is located in the heart of Junction area, near Runnymede & St. Clair Avenue West. We're just down the street from Walmart. We host corporate events, birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, or people looking for a fun outing with friends. It's a fun and exciting environment while learning to throw axes. Take your typical night out up a few notches by whipping perfectly sharpened axes through the air at wooden targets to challenge your precision and skill in a whole new way. You can bring your own food & drinks (this is included in your admission fee). Our Toronto facility was designed for memorable, fun-filled times because it’s where being bad is totally acceptable--and always feels good, even if your game isn’t strong. Each space includes fenced-off throwing lanes where an expert axe throwing coach will guide you on proper form and technique to really impress your friends.

We had a very good experience at Bad Axe throwing on February 22nd at walk-in time. It’s a nice welcoming place with a very pleasant smell of wood once you enter the room. The staff was very nice and accommodating, coming to us with some advices on effective throwing during our stay. Thank you for making our special family time such fun experience.
