For fun places to go on a slow Sunday morning

I am grateful for fun places -- hidden gems located in the west end of TO (yes the 6, hogtown, the big smoke). Great to go with family and friends to just hang and chill after a hard week's work; to recharge the battery. Maybe one day I will see Bill Murray at one of these places?

Here are some favs...but are not exhaustive

  • Dixie value mall Flea Market (downstairs on the south side of the mall) which is only open on the weekends. It is a great place to find little treasures or hunts for the big bargain. I love going to the record/DVD shop in the back 40. The proprietor plays cool tunes there...he is a bit hard of hearing but a very sweet guy. Lots of old school records with new Blue Ray DVDs
    • There are lots of antique shops too. This a great way to reuse and recycle -- plus find an eclectic gift for someone special
    • People watching -- both the vendors and the shoppers, browsers and family members that may be dragged to the place
  • Woodbine Mall: they have a cool indoor amusement park for the kids to go … very unique. I miss the JJMuggs restaurant that use to be there. 
  • Woodbine entertainment: to see the live races (can't wait for it to open again in the spring to see the thoroughbreds, trainers, jockeys, and so many more people who support this sport)
  • Centennial park Conservatory: which is open every day from 10-5. They have different themes and events. Great place to be around nature, learn from green thumbs who volunteer there... a very nice and peaceful place
  • Yellow Cup Cafe in Etobicoke for their great crepes
