Took 3 of my students here today. They had a great time. We got there at around 11 and I let them play until 11:55 when I called them to eat lunch. I bought lunch for my sister and myself because we forgot ours at home. It was delicious! The girls went back to playing after lunch, it wasn't so crowded so we were able to have class there. The ride on cars were great- the ones you need to pay for. I payed for 2 per girl. The claw machines are pretty hard to get prizes. We tried for a watch and ended up with a cupcake squishy. We left at 2 and they all wanted to stay and play more. Thank you for our amazing afternoon!
Good space for the toddlers to go and have some fun. Not a very huge place though.place was clean and was baby proofed. You can get some food and coffee which are limited but nice to have
Such a beautiful intimate event venue with the kindest and most accommodating staff! I hosted my baby shower here and they accommodated my every request. The day of festivities went without a hitch and I can't wait to host my next event here, thank you Bellamy Loft!
Overated!!!
We had our wedding at JJ's and we are grateful!!!
When we first met the owner Amar and his bother, they are very respectful and professional. We are surprised about how they care about your event so much, and take care about their client, Amar gave me private room to rest.
Price is very good. .A Very decent place and clean, staffs are very friendly and food are the best! We highly recommend it and we are definitely coming back for more events to celebrate at this venue!!!

Guests was so amazed too with everything. It’s was a Successful and blast birthday Party! Thank you JJ Western Banquet Hall !!
I recently had a tribute for my late mother at Bellamy Loft. My expectations fully meant, the attention to details was great and there's always someone to answer your questions. I definitely recommend this place for any type of event.
Amazing place to go with my toddler she loves it the structures are clean and they have great food and coffee
Yesterday we took our 3 year old daughter here to play and burn some energy , we were in the area and this venue came up on google. I never write reviews , but this bothered me so much and has effected myself and my family that I feel others and the owner of this place should know.
Yesterday was a “ Passover Special/Discount”, we went simply because we were in the area. Upon entering we noticed it was mainly one culture and 2 other families that were not the same culture . Great not a problem we love everyone and raise our children the same.
Our daughter tried to play with several kids and their parents looked at us with such disgust and removed their child from playing with my child . Another mother covered her kid with a blanket so that my child would not look at hers . When we walked pass them they turned there back to us .
All I have to say is wow ! Never in my life have I felt so unwelcome and discriminated.
I want to say thank you to the other 2 families that were like us for playing with my daughter and making us feel normal .
The owner of this venue in future if we are not welcomed please close your doors and simple state “ private party “ . There is no room for this type of behaviour and nor will it be tolerated . Especially with all that is going on in our world we should know better. Teach your children by example .

I had a horrible experience. I brought my kids here for the first time to enjoy, as we live nearby. One of my kids is in a wheelchair at the moment and he was getting ugly and Weird stares. We felt super uncomfortable. My son was super upset. We had many kids come up to us and just stare at him. I was wondering where the parents were ? and their manners? But sad to say, the parents were the exact same way, staring at my son In a rude way, it made sense why the children acted this way. Truthfully, I cannot tell you if this was due to discrimination or racism or both, but I definitely don’t recommend you to visit this playground if you are a minority or have a disabled child. And to be specific, this was coming from the Jewish community.
Least of my concerns, The service wasn’t great either. I ordered pizza and fries And I didn’t get them at first because the cashier questioned me if I already paid for the fries and told me she forgot about it.
I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt like it was needed as this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had with my son, And I would like to advise parents who relate to be careful.

Second annual Persian new year celebration at the location went off brilliantly thanks to staff and their helpful accommodations. Lovely people and great setting. Will be making it a staple every year.
We had our wedding celebration at Bellamy Loft on March 16th and the team went above and beyond. From our first tour to the wedding day they were warm, attentive, and super helpful. Everyone was very accommodating and took the time to explain each step in the process to us.
The space is the perfect size and we were able to work closely with the team to make sure the floor plan was perfectly to our liking. The space is clean, the washrooms are large, and there is ample parking and it’s completely accessible by TTC
We have to give an extra big shoutout and thank you to Ron for answering all of our questions (even the silly ones!). Bellamy Loft is a wonderful space to host your next event! You will not be disappointed at all!

Amar is a very kind and professional individual to work with, easy to speak to and deal with. The venue itself may seem small however it can fit more than 130 people with still plenty of space for guests to move around. Very neat, clean, elegant. Our guests were pleased and impressed with Amar and his staff. We would definitely recommend this venue to friends and family looking around in the future.
Nice place for winter to take the child out
it could have been bigger but its okay
it could have been bigger but its okay
I had my daughters 18th birthday which is an important celebration in my culture, and if it weren't for Amar it would not have been better than I expected for it to turn out. Amar was truly such a big help, gave us zero trouble, and was patient, understanding, and willing to be there when we needed him, to address our concerns regarding various things for the party. From the moment we booked our event until the last guest departed, their team of dedicated professionals were committed to ensuring that every aspect of the my daughter's party was flawless and went smoothly. The place also had such a beautiful ambiance which I think is very important when it comes to choosing where to have an event. I highly recommend booking with this hall!
The venue and the owner Amar is Amazing! He is very kind, easy to reach and quick to response. We just had a birthday party last Sunday Feb 18, 2024. Everything goes well with the good service of the staff team. I highly recommend 100% the venue with the service, less work for peaceful mind and happy ending 😍 Thank you so much Amar! God bless you and the Team!
We hosted our party of around 150 people last night which included a live band. We were a bit worried if the venue would be too crowded for such a large group but it ended up being perfect for our guests. The manager Amar and his team were amazing. They took sincere efforts to satisfy our needs and were very patient with our last minute requests too. Even though we opted to arrange for our own food, their team members served our food and were very diligent about making sure everyone is served properly and taking care of our guests very professionally. Compared to many other banquet halls, their pricing was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this venue for parties and cultural events. I wish them all the best!
Very nice playground for younger kids I would say up to 6 years old. Good for toddlers as it is not very challenging overall and easy for parents to follow and keep track of their kids whereabouts. Also has a separate arts and crafts section for booking. I will be back
The kids loved the bounce house. I liked that they have options for jumping duration. Nice clean facility and quite the size. Loved the arcarde and icee slushies. Will be visiting again.
Wide variety of play options available, including the climbers/slides/trampolines, large Lego blocks, coin operated rides, make believe play area, cosy coups, a designated toddler area, and a separate craft area. It's a tad dark in the play structure but that didn't seem to bother the kids. The make believe area was missing some probs/toys to enhance the experience, but those are likely easily lost/broken. The slides in the toddler section were tough for my little one to climb up independently given the height of the steps.
Cafe offers some decent family fare, and coffee options (they have an espresso machine and made a pretty tasty cappuccino).
Other reviews noted that the bathrooms were dirty, but this was not my experience. The space is aged, but was clean. Staff were also seen cleaning the cafe seating area.

Great space showing the multitude of Canadian Language art
Future Brides and Grooms, if you are looking for a gorgeous venue with incredibly kind and caring staff, Parkview Manor should be at the top of your list. Our entire planning process from day one with John Kioussis was absolutely incredible - he was extremely knowledgeable and kind, and made our entire experience so wonderful. Our friends and family were so impressed with the beautiful venue and incredible food on our wedding day. The staff treated us like family and were so beyond kind to us, and it just added even more happiness to our wonderful day. I cannot say enough good things about our experience - thank you to John and all the Parkview staff, for a day we'll never forget!
If you are seeking a beautiful wedding venue with amazing staff — look no further than Parkview. Our contact person was John L and he exceeded every single expectation we had. Throughout the night, the team consistently checked in with my husband and I to ensure we were having a good time and enjoying the food, and made sure to ask us if we needed any drinks. Everytime I got up, there was an employee there to help me in and out of my chair. The attention to detail far exceeded my expectations. Parkview will be highly recommended by me and my entire family. Thank you!
We had our Son’s First Birthday at JJ Best Western Banquet Hall!
We are amazed with the food, Service and special attention given throughout the party. Amar and staff were amazing! Their service is above and beyond what is expected. I will definitely recommend this place to my Friends and Family…

We had our wedding at Parkview Manor this past weekend, and it was amazing! Signing the contract eight months ago with John Kioussis as our event specialist was the best thing we could’ve done. John answered all our questions and made us feel reassured. John and the staff were amazing at making sure things ran smoothly and were very professional. Just wow! Let’s talk about the food! Everyone enjoyed the food. Everything was so delicious, and the servers were so friendly! All dietary restrictions were catered to without any issues, and our guests really enjoyed it. All our guests raved about the food and how beautiful the venue is. Parkview Manor was truly the perfect place for us. We highly recommend Parkview Manor. Thank you, John and the team, for all your help and making our wedding night special.
Amazing place to have your own wedding at. We started booking a year before and had John Kioussis as our event coordinator. Very professional and extremely good at what he does. Made our day very smooth and answered any questions we had about wedding planning. I definitely recommend this place to whomever is looking to host their own party/event. Location is also very central and easy to get to.
A greatttttt experience at this venue starting from 9 months ago signing the contract with John who is amazing to work with (he explains everything, helps out with any question or problem, very organized and accommodating, cool and friendly) ... to our wedding night 2 weeks ago when everything was in order as requested, staff were soooo friendly and on-time, food was top-notch delicious, all our guests complimented the hall and the food. Even the after-party meeting to clear our balance was easy and friendly. Thank you John for all your help and Parkview Manor for all good memories along our wedding project. Highly recommended.
We had our wedding at Parkview few weeks ago and it was great. We worked with John Kioussis who guided us through the whole venue. He explained everything in details and made sure all of our questions were answer. He was so easy to get in touch with. The staff were so professional and kind. They made sure our guests had a great experience.
AND the food was DELICIOUS! Our guest, family and friends were all talking about how great the venue and the food tasted. We had so many positive comments back after the wedding about the food and the venue. I definitely recommended this venue to everyone out there!

Hosted our wedding reception at Parkview last weekend and had a great experience. We worked with John Kioussis who was professional, responsive and made our experience an easy and positive one. The staff was lovely and the food was above our expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a potential wedding venue! Thank you John and the rest of the staff at Parkview Manor!
There is no “real entertainment” It’s called the bubble now. It’s a jumping place 🦖
No air conditioning and the worst smell. We took my kid to the Bubble for a birthday and the place stinked! Feet and body odor without ventilation. My kid git sick afterwards. It was not this bad a few months ago but this time really awful.
We had our wedding here, it was beautiful. Everyone was raving about how elegant & very tastefully decorated. The staff were also very accommodating. Only a few things I wish were different were if we had kitchen access & better manning of the light system. Also something was off with the speakers. They were working great and then all of a sudden they were a little fuzzy, overall great experience & will be booking again. Thank you for the wonderful wedding ceremony/reception venue!
Ice quality is decent but not the best. Availability is good too. Change rooms are what you would expect of a highly used hockey facility, but less than you would hope.
The folks running beginner hockey programs at Rinx are fantastic though, that would be 5 star

Bellamy Loft is a beautiful venue for small parties, parking is limited. It’s a small venue. We had my sister in-laws Bridal Party.
It’s was definitely not cheap to host a party for 4-5 hrs. We had about 60 guests we wore allowed to bring our own food and decor which was wonderful. We didn’t have access to a full kitchen. If we wanted to use kitchen $200 hr and we were only allowed to used limited chairs and tables.
Open space and a small bar which didn’t even have a sink not sure why they didn’t put a kitchen sink. It’s was crazy we could even makes drinks at the site because we didn’t have access to kitchen.
It’s did have male and female restroom.
Over all not bad location. They should give better pricing with kitchen access for parties.

If you're interested in some small but unique museums, I highly recommend Canadian Language Museum. Staffs are nice, and you definitely can learn sth from Dr. Gold. They have beginner-friendly panels, videos and books, including all sorts of linguistic knowledge. I have lots of good time staying there, reading in awesome afternoons, especially for the time discussing indigenous languages with Dr. Gold. The exhibition changes every season, the one for now is Laurentian & Acadian French. Things about the sound system, morphology, and sentence structures among dialects and language families are fascinating. The museum shows me sth I never think of in the past, it's a place you gotta visit in ur lifetime.
We had our wedding 2 days ago at Bellamy Loft. The space was absolutely beautiful! We wanted a simple wedding ceremony and from start to finish, working with Bellamy Loft has been so smooth. They were so accommodating on a few last minute changes and made sure all my design requests were met.
I got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the flower arrangements were. Thank you to VintageBash for making our gorgeous setup!
A big shoutout to Leonard for officiating our wedding with the lovely words!
I highly recommend Bellamy Loft if you're looking for an intimate, modern and beautiful space for your ceremony!
Thank you again to everyone on the team for making our wedding day so special!!

- love Hannie & Carlo

Pretty good facility. Easy to navigate, decent sized change rooms. Ice quality was very poor though. We played on rink 4 and calling it pond ice would be disrespectful to nature's beauty.
Bellamy Loft was the perfect venue for our small ceremony! After being engaged for a few years, we were ready to finally get married no matter the restrictions and finding Bellamy Loft’s micro wedding packages was the best thing that happened to us! We were even able to plan everything in less than 2 months!
From receiving our quote and available dates faster than any other venue, to having every one of our questions answered quickly, to having our very own shared planning sheet - for detail-focused people like us, we knew we were in good hands! A week before our wedding, restrictions loosened slightly and Bellamy Loft made it extremely easy to add extra guests. The decor of the venue was absolutely stunning too - our floral designer (outside of Bellamy) even commented on how well the florals were put together! The officiant we received was like winning the lottery as well, we received many comments from friends and family about how professional, humorous, and genuine he was. With all that said, probably the best things that happened on our day were how courteous and professional our day of coordinators were: the bride (me) was full of nerves and they allowed me to take some extra deep breaths before starting the ceremony. We were also able to say hi to all of our friends and family logged on via zoom - a special touch we weren’t expecting and everyone loved that they could give their best wishes in real time!
We have already started to recommend Bellamy Loft to each and every person we know getting engaged/married. Our day was perfect and we can’t thank them enough!

There's no other museum like it. Awesome exhibits and friendly staff. Only thing is that this museum is really tiny and doesn't have a lot of exhibits yet. I hope to see it grow in the future.
Great place to host a party for kids and adults. Our first experience was great, my son was invited to a birthday and had an amazing time. He loved the laser tag, bowling and the games room. He loved it so much that we have booked his birthday party there. The prices are reasonable and the location is central so convenient for everyone. We would definitely recommend Rinx!
Love it...played lazertag and dodgem lacrosse♡ great value
Excellent experience, the person we spoke with was very friendly and helpful. I recommend to anyone with an interest in language!
It's a big facility and during the evenings, there seems to be very little staff that goes around. I get it. Rinks ice condition is decent but lockers are usually full of things on the floor. What amazes me the most however is that rink 2 (for ex.) only has URINALS in the change rooms. As if female players didn't exist! Yes there are other common bathrooms but you have to get out of the rink space. My teammate always feels like the water pressure in the showers 🚿 is terrible. If anyone is listening. 🏒
What a great place, and website, to discover the languages of Canada!
It was a great experience. My kids birthday party was a blast. He had a lot of fun. Even my corporate party went really well. The coordinator did a great job with assisting us. It would be a great place for anyone to go and have a great time. There have many activities.
