Yevan helped me and was condescending. Doesn’t respect customers private information. Horrible customer service. Do not recommend staff working here. Very rude
I loved the experience of shopping here. Staff were really nice, helpful and friendly. I couldn’t get the names of all who helped me but Joe was awesome and other staff as well. Great customer service . Total satisfaction. Would come again and recommend to others .

Found what we needed but the guy that was working upstairs shoes near football gear has quite a bit of tude. Tuesday right before closing. If you don't know how to talk to people considering you work in cust service, then perhaps don't work in cust. Service.

Armstrong was of tremendous help with finding me the right hockey equipment today. He's patient and knowledgeable. This location is a bit out of the way for me, but I would definitely come back for the friendly staff. Thanks again Armstrong!

I came to Sports Experts last week to buy a winter jacket a guy named Sandro was very insightful about winter jackets and he helped me get the jacket that I wanted and for the right price. He gave a terrific and overall compete tour of the jackets and i’m very thankful for his service. He’s such a terrific employee.

We walked in to look at winter jackets. Morgan came and let us know the sales and said she was available to help us with anything we needed. She was a big help finding sizes and styles we were interested in. Thanks for all your help, Morgan! We left very satisfied with the service and shopping experience.

As a client i’ve never felt more rejected, disrespected and insulted ever in my whole life. Yes this sport expert is absolutely huge. But my personal experience makes this store seem unbearable. I want to publicly denounce the « indian » Manager named Armstrong as the worst worker to exist in the whole carrefour. Having anger issues, disgusting expressions, and a bratty attitude. He expressed insults loudly to my father and we were left speechless. I honestly don’t understand how upper management keeps workers this way. This shows how careless they are regarding customer service. It also shows laziness on the hiring team. I honestly would suggest to not go to this specific sport expert as he, Armstrong, completely destroys the reputation it had.

After my old faithful water bladder had been chewed to shreds by an ornery gang of badgers it finally came time to purchase a new one. But yikes, so many choices!!! I started to think that I’d NEVER make up my mind, until I went to Wilderness Supply and sales associate Annick helped me cut through all the hooplah.

My new Seattle Sports 8-litre ‘Big Mouth’ really does the job without any fuss. Easy to fill, carries well and packs down to almost nothing (when empty). Perfect volume for two-people camping. Also, fetching design and attractive colours makes this item a real conversation starter at the campground. Thanks Annick and Wilderness Supply for hooking me up with this terrific value!

I'm thrilled to have this fantastic bike store in my neighborhood! The local charm, combined with a great selection of bikes and accessories, makes it my go-to spot. The staff is not only friendly but also genuinely passionate about biking, offering valuable insights and personalized recommendations. Whether you're a casual rider or a serious cyclist, this store has something for everyone. Grateful to have such a gem nearby!
Good location for shopping with good offers, there is lots of parking areas and also it’s free. You can enjoy really good brands and shopping, different restaurants and also Starbucks or Artigiano cafe …

After having an initial negative customer service experience with pacific boarders online service, they contacted me and made everything right. I appreciate their dedication to keeping customers happy, and will continue to get my ski and surf gear from them.🤙

The place is fun even for BEGINNERS you could try practicing without being embarrassed (joke)!
I found it to be best to show up in group of 4 people which in my opinion could be the best deal and try making a reservation since it can get busy during peak hours and weekends
In addition Costs $7 for each club “ it’s optional “ you could share or each person can get 1”
Food isn’t bad we tried the poutine, it was fresh for $15

Love this place, hit some balls, improve your drive, pitching and short shots. Food and beer is good, and the auto ball placement and ball tracking is really cool. Could improve a few things like not having to go see front desk when your time is up for ball tracker and waste time.
I would best place for starters. I love my experience here at the first time only. Soon gonna wish here again. Recommend with frds like it’s a great activity to spend

Good place to spend your couple of hours with your friends. Perfect place for a re union with the long lost friend. Make sure it’s not too hot that day so always check the weather first .
It has different modes to play . Even if you don’t know how to play golf you can still enjoy by swinging as hard as you can 😁

Great bike shop!!! I was out for a ride in Toronto and ended up destroying my crank set. They took car of me and helped me out when the other shops around could not! Very friendly staff!! To the kid who gave me those pedals and crank and the man in the back. Thank you both VERY much.

Place is great but some employees assigning bays slack when it's the busiest, there's no urgency to assign bays to people waiting no matter how long you been sitting there. When people leave, they take their sweet time to clean up, refill and reassign
Multiple brands, fab discounts and great choices..all top brands under one location...must for tourists.

Went in to get the brake cable replaced on my sweet old vintage bike, and they very kindly replaced the fender mount for my front light free of charge when all I asked for was a piece of tape to keep it on temporarily. All fixed and ready to roll when I picked it up the same afternoon! Fast, friendly service. Thanks again, guys!

Amazing staff. Bought some slides 2 months ago and they wore out. Needed to buy new ones. I showed Armstrong the manager. He said it wasn’t normal and wanted to exchange them. I didn’t have receipt. Armstrong took the time to look at his system, find transaction and exchange them for me. A great manager and a great human. Kudos to SE for hiring such great staff.

I've driven balls at this automated range probably 20 times over the past 2 years and have watched it grow. Great spot.

Good vibe, staff is generally really accommodating and personable, and the food is okay. The beer selection could be better, but that's nitpicky. The service is great.

The pricing is decent if you choose to forgo reservations and just grab some balls and toptracer (to play virtual golf and all sorts of other mini games), but the bay reservations are stupidly expensive.

The downside is if you don't reserve and rely on their web-based waitlist, you'll never ever golf here because the new and "innovative" online waitlist is so wrong. I went yesterday and the online waitlist said 3.5hr. We were given a bay in 10m. Saturday nights are crazy though.
Great experience. Location and overall features included at this range is great! Went on a semi rainy day and the coverage created no interruption for the day. The use of technology here is awesome, a loadable personalized card and you don't need to have a basket as the ball is automatically raised onto the range platform. The tracking system is worth extra money to either play competitive games or improve your swing and accuracy with their monitoring system.
Not only do they have seating at each assigned range booth that seats 4, they have a nice open picnic and chill area that has a bar/food counter.
All in all a great experience for all levels. Definitely will be going back again.

Best bicycle shop in downtown Toronto. Fast service. They always seem to have what you need. They carry my all time favourite bicycle tires, the Made in Japan, Pasela Panaracer #panaracer. Perfect for old commuter Chrome-Molybdenum Bianchi bikes.

Great experience for a first timer

It really is fully automated and uses tracer technology, which I found helpful as someone who works with data on a regular basis.

They serve food and drinks as well, and you can rent a driver, if you don’t have one.

Definitely recommend this place, it’s somewhere you and your friends can hang out.

I’ve had two great experiences at Dream Cyclery. First they were able to replace one of my tires for me, were super friendly and easy to talk to.

And then today I brought in my bike to have the back tire re-attached because someone had tried to steal it but then left it behind. They were able to fix it right away and free of charge. And they were again extremely friendly and easy to talk to!

Highly recommend going to this golf range.

Has nice vibes with the food, drinks, and chunes going.

Nice spot to chill with any friends or family.

Definitely gives a little bit of that top golf vibes with the games, see some similarities.

Highly recommend people come here if you looking for casual play or just to practice.

Initially, came in looking for a bike for my 6 year old daughter. Staff were friendly and helpful. They helped us size a bike for my daughter. As I wasn’t planning on purchasing a bike so quickly, I didn’t bring a physical credit card (all I have is an Apple Wallet). As a result, they placed a hold for the bike.

We were able to purchase the bike later in the afternoon. They added the pedals and tuned it to ensure the bike was ready for my daughter. I also requested they add a kickstand and that wasn’t a problem.

I also brought my bike in for a tune up.

Overall, wife and I are happy and my daughter really likes her new bike.

I ordered a few paddling accessories online from Wilderness Supply and the experience was awesome! Their emails kept me in the loop and the package got here quickly - faster than I expected. And their price was sharper than other Canadian paddles shops I checked.

I’ll buy from them again. Wilderness Supplies has my highest recommendation.

Brought in my girlfriends bike to get both brakes and brake wires replaced and they were able to do it same day. They were really friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything they did and the cost associated very well.

Good driving range with drinks and bathroom on site. Next to wet n wild. Parking is a gravel lot.
100 balls is about $29 with an additional $6 for tracking or unlimited 1 hour for 50 bucks. And it just goes up from there.

Great driving range to practice and staff is really friendly too. Purchased 500 balls at $99
Lots of good stores. I went when it was super cold out so I really had bundle up because it is alot of walking outdoors to get from place to place. I wanted to warm up at the food court but doors were locked at 5pm on Saturday… my bad for going when super cold out.
I usually don't rate retail stores cause it's like what are you really rating, but this 5 star rating is mainly due to the staff. Wow, what amazing young ladies! So helpful and provided honest feedback (about what I was trying on. They also had lots of stock and good deals!

Great service at this place! Went to get my first pair of snowboarding boots and I didn't even know my size yet. Tyler helped me try on 4 sizes before we found the right fit and he also gave me some pointers when looking for the right boots. very happy with my purchase!
Went to this store on Boxing Day . As expected it was crowded and busy. I was looking for new snowboard pants and was clearly struggling to find the right size for my height and weight. Kasha was very helpful as she was able to find 4 different pairs that fitted me perfectly. I appreciate her hard work and help. I also want to mention that staff at the cash register were very attentive and helpful as well. Thank you team 😍

The staff that helped me was so kind and genuine and made the experience so much easier. Tried all three stores in the area and ended up coming back here. Really tried to understand what I needed and how I was as a rider.
The last visit was so annoying on black friday because every stuff was sold out almost. Just left with extra small and mostly double xtra large sizes. Even on sunday after friday there was no to much to buy.
Superb place for jackets and fleece and T shirts and caps and the list is huge....you get all latest apperals here at a very good discount....fifty percent discount is normal in this north face factory outlet....so many colours of jackets of north face are available and this place is crowded...but fun to shop....associates are always ready to help you out ...
Nice and clean place in the new center, friendly service, they even went to storage to pick my wife's size, great service compare to other shops in this mall.
Only one thing couldn't find - winter pants, shop has only for skis and etc, not for everyday wearing.
One year update: Some improvements are done, but not with winter pants, they don't have them at all.
Store definitely now is more clean and organized. Less messy and more understandable.
Bought some nice winter sweaters for update.
WHEN you will have winter pants at least one kind, one pair? - are you against them?

This place offers great service and gears. Because of the Thanksgiving sale,I bought a full set. Phil was an absolute delight in helping me find the perfect gears. He is also a passionate snowboarder. I will recommend this place to any friend any day.
Got a really nice thick coat which has served me well. Adam in particular was great and answered my many questions while I was choosing the right coat.
the guys working at this store were really kind and helpful. i came in on black Friday so their calm demeanour was appreciated. got what i wanted and then some for a sweet price. really great deals that i didn't see online, but wish for more range in women's sizing as the coats run fairly small.

Given all the places you can buy the exact same gear from, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE. This place has no integrity. I ordered a Dakine surf leash online and they sent me a defective leash with a missing pin (see picture). Even though I received it less than 30 days ago and have never used it, they won't honour their return policy and give me a refund or exchange. Their response: There is nothing we can do. Really? I can think of something…How about accepting a return or exchange!? Now I have to try and make a warranty claim from the manufacturer. I've never heard of a store refusing a to return an item that was defective at sale and never used. Don't risk getting ripped off like I did and shop elsewhere.

I've interacted with the staff electronically and in person before buying my bike from here a while ago. The staff and owner have always been helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to reach. Recently I encountered a flat tire and they fixed my bike overnight. I'm really happy with the ongoing great service and I definitely recommend this place to buy from a nice selection of bikes, gear, and helpful staff for other bike services. Thank you!

First time in the store. Lots of products to look at, great selection camping gear, water sports and of clothes too. Staff was friendly and approachable. A few cute bags as well! I've driven past here so many times but had never gone in before. Hand sanitizer at the entrance/exit. A great selection of pfd's.

Extremely organized and well run.
Perfect afternoon 👌 decided last minute to go, short wait time for the bay and something different when your sibling comes to visit. Will definitely be back!! The staff there are amazing 👏 😍
This outlet store has quite the selection, better discounts are given to older models obviously, which is not a bad thing for us, as they still look good and you get what you want at a better price point.
That being said, come early, with the coronavirus mitigation measures in place, only a certain number of people are allowed inside at a given time, a queue formed outside and it's cold, I waited a good 15 minutes before being allowed inside, so dress accordingly.
Opened not long time ago outlet store. Look for specials. Men, woman and children apparel.
Thanks Frederic for explaining everything. Outlet has very good price on winter and fall jackets, plus they were stylish. Wanted to buy CG for $1300, not in stock model I liked and not best fitting and style, either too short or too long. Then, walked into this store, ended up buying two jackets for $448 tax included Gotham @$289 and Thermoball @$99. Yes, it was last year model but fitting and look is perfect for me.
As an outlet store, it wasn’t anything especial.
But young Florence made all the difference!
She was amazing. She was knowledgeable, smart, familiar with all the products, and patient. She could give accurate information about each product and she had personal experience with many of them. She gave the greatest advice, she was full of positive energy and eager to help.
Store has varied inventory, although it could be better. Good deals are often offered on many items. Service is lackluster, with disinvolture and long customer engagement delays. Rebates and store location make it a worthwhile visit regardless. Would recommend stopping by if you're going to Premium Outlets, or driving back from vacationing up North.
A good selection of really nice stuff. High quality functional products and also competitively priced. Knowledgeable staff.
