Close to TTC Subway station as well as bus station. Makes it rather convenient. Has a large parking lot as well adjacent to STC's main parking lot (infront of the movie house). Staff leave you be unless you ask for help, where they are usually helpful. There are numerous program offerings here including tai-chi, yoga, karete, volleyball, swimming, etc. It's not as big as I would have like but for a fitness centre, it's adequete enough to serve the community's needs. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

The collection of books in this library is rather small but considering it is a community-based library I can understand. You're better off going to the nearest neighbourhood library near Alton Towers (Goldhawk library). I find the library very cramped, and small. Though kudos to them with regards to their holding system which allows me to borrow books from other libraries and have it delivered right to Woodside Square Library. There's a huge crowd after 3 because of the neighbouring schools (Albert Campbell, Our Lady of Grace, Libermann) so it's awfully tough to get seats. The computers as well are occupied with small children (oftentimes playing online games, which gets frustrating for people looking to do some work). I do not recommend this place.

The Second City Training Centre - |

Superb. Possibly the best improv/drama training centre in Toronto. The space is small enough for it to be a cozy setting for its students, restricting students from 'hiding' or getting lost in a huge spacious room. However, it's big enough to move around and play around in the space. The teachers are amazing. They know how to criticize you while still giving you ample praises. They are very well-trained and know how to get the best out of each student. Most if not all of the teachers have appeared in numerous improv/comedic shows in Canada. My teacher guest-starred in the Royal Canadian Air Farce as well has been working as a stand-up comedian. Working with people who've been in the industry for a while (10+ years), giving you advice and instruction is all that you can ask for in a drama/improv training school. This school really pushed me outside of my comfort level and I'm really greatful I found this place. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

Better selection in comparison to Henry's (which is right next door). Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Good place as well to process slide film. Any photo enthusiast should +fav this place because it's a shop you know you'll keep on visiting. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

Friendly staff. Can get busy during lunch hours due to nearby high schools but the staff still manages to give your order in good time (10 to 15 minutes waiting time during lunch hours). The food taste great, the atmosphere is better than the previous tenant of the building (McDonalds). This place is great! I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

I like the space very much. I went there with a group of yoga students and it was very cozy. The instructor, Sheila, is very knowledgeable. The studio is fully equipped with yoga materials. The outside of the building may seem a little bit "unpolished" but when you go inside, you are met with a contemporary and clean space. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a yoga studio. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

Art Gallery of Ontario - |

Good place to be when there are special exhibitions however when there's none of that kind, it comes across as being too small of a gallery (compared to its neighbour, the Royal Ontario Museum). They say that only 3% of the gallery's collections is on displace and that's ashame because I think most visitors would love to see the other 97%! The place is packed though during special exhibitions and it has a nice buzz when it's busy. Looking forward to the new renovation, hopefully this will bring new excitement and possibly a new outlook for the future of the AGO. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful?

Went to drama classes here for two years. The teachers are trained very well. They keep the flow of the group going. The best part of the whole thing is the presentation at the end in their main theatre (not the educational building). Great place to learn drama if at all interested. Usually a high number of students in the class (12-16 at the most). It's worth the money (around $700 for 20 weeks of classes). I recommend this place. Was this review helpful?

Saw a Leafs Game two weeks ago and beyond doubt, this is one of the best avenues to watch a sports event. Comparing to my experience when I watched tennis at the Rexall Centre, the view, even from up in the "bleacher" seats, is still good. Great environment, not quite spacious when in the bleachers but still very comfortable. The only thing I have against this place is the ridiculous amount they charge for food. It's a rip off but I still enjoyed the experience. I recommend this place. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report as Spam |

If you're new to town, this is the best starting point. Though being a resident of this city, I've been here countless times and frankly don't find it quite interesting. I guess the place has gotten old really fast. Good things here include the elevator, the great view from above, especially when you get on the balcony and see the skyline up close without falling off (of course because there's railings!). As well the glass floor is a favourite. The food however has been said to be expensive (found in the revolving restaurant). I recommend this place. Was this review helpful?

The second best library in Toronto, second of course only to the the Toronto Reference Library downtown. It's placed quite well (being near a subway station). It has five floors and the people are just helpful. Lots of space to study and quite quiet as well. Good place to work if you're quite distracted at your home. I recommend this place.
