Fabulous children’s programming in the summer and throughout. Love that it’s free.

Also, they have the egg chairs if you want to break feed in private!See more..

4.5The Grand Theatre(147 reviews) - GROW will pluck at your heart strings Saturday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Theaters
Once again the Grand has proven it offers outstanding theatre experiences. Attendants checked proof of vaccination and photo ID. Programs were not passed out and recycled but you received a QR code to read the program on your phone, tablet, ort laptop. I hope this eco-friendly practice continues. We saw the world premier of Grow. If you see only one show this entire season, make sure it is this production. A small cast plays dual roles as Amish community members and Toronto's weed-loving community. Actors are masterful singers and dancers. It is amazing that they can switch so quickly from Amish to Torontonians several times during the show. Having grown up and taught in a rural community with a significant Amish presence, I was gratified to see their lifestyle and values treated with respect in this hilarious yet poignant show. Don't miss out on seeing Grow!See more..

It's a beautiful venue in an historic area.See more..
This is a cozy theatre that accommodates roughly just over 300 people. We sat on the balcony and it felt very close to the stage. It’s just the right size for a small performance. The walkway that leads to the balcony is amazing. The only downside is that the snack bar only has chips and cold drinks. Would appreciate if they have sandwiches. They also have water fountains for refilling your water bottles.See more..

4.5River Run Centre(114 reviews) - A wonderful Q night. Saturday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Theaters
There is nothing like CBC’s Q live, nothing better than the River Run Centre to show off the talent of Guelph and the urbane hipster born of The Rock, Tom Powers. Excellent set up. Super acoustics. Small bathrooms. Q-Trip: Parking is free for 2 hours and free after 6. 5:30 dinner at Bin23 and a little walk worked out. Bathroom strategy is slow back on the wine, and a pit stop pre-exit while the bill has been processed. See more..

4.0SilverCity Richmond Hill(101 reviews) - Excellent crowd management and comfy seats Movie Theaters
Although super busy n New Year’s Eve, and against my better judgement, I accompanied friends to the Andre Rieu concert on film and loved it. Even when large crowds are present Silver City manages them very well. Our auditorium was only about half full but I did manage to have someone constantly kicking my seat back and narrating the concert to her equally dense friends. I moved away from my friends to sit n the third row which was serene if a bit too close. I like Silver City. See more..
This theatre used to be our favourite place to go for movies but since the change over to Landmark it has gone down. You have to pick your seats when you go so you can not even hold seats when meeting friends. The food - blah and very pricey.It is not as clean. Do not even go to movies now because it is going downhill and for the money - you expect better.See more..
4.5Theatre Aquarius(97 reviews) - Have seasons tickets, but "Sweat" was a big disaster. Saturday: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM Theaters
I have reviewed the theatre in the past and it is one of the unsung gems of Hamilton. This is a smaller intimate theatre with no bad seats. We have been season ticket holders for about 15 years and the productions are arguably better than Royal Alex in Toronto. However we walked out at half time from Sweat. Perhaps the 2nd act had a redeeming ending, but we couldn't endure it to find out.See more..

5.0Highlands Cinema(66 reviews) - So good we went back the next night! Speciality Museums • Movie Theaters
We ate twice at the restaurant, would have loved to go to the cinema, but just did not fit our schedule. We had fantastic experiences and food both times. The staff were really friendly, accommodating and efficient. We were lucky to get a table both times, would recommend booking. We had pretty much all the ‘tapas’ menu between us over the two nights, and would find it hard to choose between them, but would recommend the vegetable fajitas, salmon and artichoke, tatties bravas and the squid. The pizzas were really good too. Would highly recommend this as a family friendly restaurant. Thank you to all the staff!See more..
