Where would a 3yr old boy have fun?

[huskylord]

Hello,

It's my nephew's birthday next week.
He's turning 3 and I'd like to get him a present where instead of a toy, he gets to go somewhere that would be fun for him (this is in the GTA area). I believe he's bit young for the Science Center and he's already going to Chucky Cheese for his birthday party. Are there places where I can get tickets in advance that don't necessarily have to be used on a specific date, and that he and his mom and dad can go an have fun?

Thank you for any tips

We did a wave pool party for my son's 2nd birthday and he loves the water. Richmond Hill Community Centre on Hopkins st. has a great wave pool.

The Science Centre has a fabulous kids area and we've been taking our kid since he could walk. loves it!

How about at Woodbine Mall? They have that area in the mall called Fantasy Land and its filled with rides for kids. I took my 3 year old niece and she loved it! we spent 3 hours there. You buy tickets for the rides, just like a carnival basically but your indoors.

There's a brand new and pretty big indoor play centre called Funnelz next to the Dollarama at Eglington and Warden. I saw a lot of slides, bouncing castle, etc. My 3 yr old goes to the smaller one near Don Mills, north of Lawrence quite a few times and generally has a good time (once was for a birthday party with a zillion kids there).
