About 1325 Eglinton Ave E Unit 1-6
Amazing Fun Park is a new indoor family amusement center in Mississauga, located at 1325 Eglinton Avenue East (the plaza at Eglinton & Dixie). This spacious facility occupies multiple units (commonly listed as Unit 1–6) of the building and offers roughly a 5,600+ square-foot playground for children and parents. It features multi-level soft-play structures with slides and ball pits, immersive virtual reality rides, arcade games, and a small performance stage (www.insauga.com ). The venue is designed for kids (with attractions best suited to ages 4–12) and includes special areas for toddlers and seating areas for adults to supervise.
What makes this venue especially notable is its history. For years the address was home to a well-known nightclub complex called “Her” (which also housed a separate adult lounge called Entice) (www.clubcrawlers.com ). The club was famous locally (and at times infamous) – it operated two distinct entertainment rooms under one roof and drew attention in the media. In 2022 the nightclub was shut down amid safety concerns (www.insauga.com ). In late 2024, city records show a commercial renovation permit was issued to convert the space into “Amazing Fun Park” (www.insauga.com ) (opendatamississauga.ca ). In other words, the site has been reborn from a nightlife hotspot into a safe, vibrant play center for children. Today it stands out in Mississauga as a one-of-a-kind family entertainment venue, bridging generations by taking a space once geared toward adults and transforming it into a community playground that kids love.
Events and Programming
Amazing Fun Park is a play-park rather than a concert hall, so its schedule focuses on kid-friendly activities instead of live concerts. The venue offers daily open-play sessions (families come in and enjoy the attractions during their admission time) and regularly hosts themed events for special occasions, such as holiday parties or costume days on Halloween. There is a small performance stage inside, where entertainers (such as magicians, balloon artists, or dancers) put on short shows tailored to children. These stage performances are generally part of the scheduled programming and occur at set times (often weekends or holiday afternoons).
Daily Play Sessions: On most days the park operates on general admission, allowing children to freely explore all play zones for the session duration. It’s essentially a drop-in playground experience with fun music and lighting.
Themed Events: Occasionally the park organizes special event days (for example, a “Superhero Saturday” or summer-camp-themed week) that may include extra activities, costume contests, or small prizes. These often require advance notice and are announced on the park’s website or social media.
Birthday & Private Parties: A major part of the schedule is private bookings. The park is a popular spot for birthday celebrations. Party packages include a reserved party table area and additional perks (see below). These are booked ahead and often come with decorations, pizza, and dedicated staff support (amazingfunpark.ca ).
In the building’s past life as “Her” nightclub and Entice Ultra Club, the space regularly hosted high-energy dance parties and DJ nights. For example, promotional listings from a few years ago show events like “Fly Fridays,” “Carnival in the 6ix,” and “Drip City” being held at this address (www.ticketgateway.com ). However, those nightlife events ended when the club closed in 2022 (www.insauga.com ). Now, any “performance” in this space is family-appropriate: expect fun kids’ music, upbeat light shows, and live acts suitable for young audiences, rather than the adult-oriented shows of the past.
Tickets and Booking
General admission tickets can be purchased on the Amazing Fun Park website or at the door if space allows. As of 2025, play-session tickets are priced in the mid-$20 to $40 range for each child, covering a full 2-hour session (amazingfunpark.ca ). Important: each child ticket automatically includes admission for up to one accompanying adult (one adult per child enters at no extra charge) (amazingfunpark.ca ). This means, for example, two children and two parents can enter with just two child tickets. The park is cashless, so expect to pay by credit/debit card or mobile payment.
Due to popularity on weekends and holidays, it’s best to reserve tickets in advance online. Walk-up tickets are not guaranteed during busy times. Party and group packages (for birthdays, camps or field trips) must be booked ahead via the park’s website or by phone. The park offers tiered party packages (serving about 10, 15, or 20 children) at higher prices (roughly $499–$999, see the website for details) (amazingfunpark.ca ). These packages include extras like table setups, pizza, and games. After purchasing, visitors will receive a confirmation which can simply be shown on a phone at check-in.
On arrival, guests are asked to check in at reception, sign digital waivers for the children, and deposit shoes in the cubby/storage area. (Note: grip socks are required on all play equipment for safety (amazingfunpark.ca ); kids often borrow or buy these on site if needed.) It’s recommended to arrive 10–15 minutes before your session to complete these steps. If you’ve booked a party package, a dedicated table and party host will be waiting. Parties generally run two hours, with about 1.5 hours of play and 30 minutes at the party table to eat and cut cake (amazingfunpark.ca ).
Seating and Layout
The interior is designed more like an amusement park than a theater – there are no fixed rows of seats. Instead, the floor is divided into open play zones. The largest section is a padded jungle-gym play structure with climbing nets and slides, usually surrounded by soft foam flooring. A connected ball pit adds to the fun below the slide. Nearby are interactive attractions such as coin-operated arcade games and virtual-reality ring rides. A separate soft-area is reserved for toddlers (with small slides and gentle play panels) so little ones have a safer space away from older kids.
Parent Seating: Adults sit on benches or chairs placed at the edges of the play floor, especially around the main structure and stage. These seating areas allow easy supervision of children. There is no assigned "best seat" – wherever you sit, you have a good view of most attractions because the space is open and sightlines are clear.
Stage Area: In one corner of the park there is a raised stage platform. During scheduled shows or group events, kids gather in front of it (often on the floor) while adults stand or sit behind them. During normal operation the stage is rarely used, but when in use it becomes a focal point for performances.
Access: The entire play area is open-admission; there is general admission for climbing and slides and no separate VIP sections. If you book a birthday party, a table with chairs is reserved near the stage or wall, marked with the party group’s name. Otherwise all areas are accessible to paying guests. The park is mostly single-level (no balconies), which means there are no obstructed views or second-story seating; the layout is essentially flat with a high ceiling above.
Considerations: The ceiling is relatively high and the space can be noisy when crowded, as families and kids play and music plays overhead. The park encourages safe play – running and roughhousing are discouraged for safety. Because parts of the play structure and floor are hard plastic, wearing non-slip socks is mandatory (amazingfunpark.ca ).
Getting There and Parking
Address: 1325 Eglinton Avenue East, Mississauga, ON L4W 4L9. This is at the corner of Eglinton Ave. E. and Dixie Road (near the Dixie Mall shopping district). Driving Directions: The venue is easily reached by car from Hwy 401. Take the Dixie Rd. exit (eastbound) or Hurontario St. exit/westbound, then head north on Dixie to Eglinton. There's ample surface parking in the plaza lot on both sides of the building. Parking is free (for the duration of your visit) and plentiful on weekdays; it can fill up a bit on weekend afternoons, but overflow is usually accommodated in adjacent lots. Look for the signage for unit 1–6 or Amazing Fun Park. Taxis and ride-share drivers typically drop off passengers at the main entrance on Eglinton.
Highways: Besides Hwy 401, this location is also accessible via Hwy 403 (exit Britannia Rd. eastbound) or Hwy 427 (exit Southall Dr. westbound to Dundas). All major Ontario highways lead to Dixie Road.
Public Transit: Several MiWay bus routes serve the area. Routes 35 and 5 stop directly at Eglinton & Dixie (near the plaza) (moovitapp.com ). Route 73 runs along Erindale Station Rd., and Route 7 along Mississauga Rd., both within one or two stops of Eglinton. From the Toronto subway, you could transfer at Kipling Station to MiWay 35 (Eglinton East) which goes to Dixie. Check the MiWay website for exact schedules. The Dixie GO train station is about a 20-minute walk north with connections via Route 74.
Rideshare/Taxi: Regular taxi and rideshare (Uber/Lyft) services operate here. The drop-off is right at the front doors. At closing (9:00–9:30pm), these services are generally available, though ride times can be longer late at night.
Biking/Walking: If coming by bicycle, there are bike racks near the entrance. Pedestrian access is straightforward (wide sidewalks on Eglinton). The intersection's crosswalks have walk signals for safety.
Inside the Venue
Upon entry, guests are greeted at reception. Staff verify tickets, have parents sign waivers, and hand out wristbands or stamps. There is a cubby area for stashing shoes and personal items; shoes are not allowed on any play equipment. Once inside, you’ll notice a vibrant, colorful atmosphere – bright wall murals, spotlights on play structures, and family-friendly music playing. The park is climate-controlled, so it’s comfortable year-round (warm in winter, cool in summer).
Security: The venue is child-safe but not locked down like a concert. There are no metal detectors or pat-downs, but staff enforce rules carefully. Parents are responsible for watching their kids at all times. Strollers must be parked (outside the play carpet) in designated spaces (amazingfunpark.ca ). The park is well-lit and monitored; if a child wanders toward an exit, staff generally intercept to ensure children stay inside.
Food & Drink: The park itself does not sell full meals. There is a small snack bar or vending area offering bottled water, juice, and packaged snacks. Most food comes through party bookings. For booked parties, the package includes large pizzas (usually pepperoni or cheese) and juice boxes – this is provided by the park staff (amazingfunpark.ca ). Outside food is generally not allowed in the main play area, except for medically necessary snacks or an age-appropriate cake for birthdays (nut-free policies apply, so confirm in advance). No glass bottles or alcoholic beverages are permitted inside.
Restrooms & Facilities: Restrooms are located just off the play area. There are child-sized sinks and toilets, plus at least one adult-size stall and a changing table. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible (amazingfunpark.ca ): entrances are ramped from the parking lot and all internal walkways are wide. There’s an accessible washroom and flat-floor access to most zones. Strollers can roll on the main floor and to all except some interior nooks of the play structure.
Other Amenities: There isn’t a formal coat-check, but there are hangers or cubbies by reception for coats and bags. Cell phone coverage is good inside; free public Wi-Fi is not guaranteed. For families staying longer after playtime, a small corner often serves as a cafe/wait area with a few high-top tables. Emergency first-aid kits are on hand and staff are trained to assist minor injuries. The park mascot “Chi” occasionally appears for photo ops (often included in party packages) to entertain kids and pose for pictures.
Nearby Amenities
The plaza itself hosts a handful of quick-service spots. For example, there is usually a pizza/deli shop and a coffee/snack bar nearby for light meals. One block east on Eglinton is Zauq (a Pakistani-Indian-Hakka restaurant) which is a popular choice for families. A convenience store and gas station are on the corner if you need last-minute beverages or supplies.
Restaurants: A short drive or walk away at Dixie Mall are chain restaurants and fast-food outlets (McDonald’s, Subway, KFC, etc.). There is also a Starbucks and other casual eateries within 1–2 km. Many families pick up dinner around 5pm – for example ordering pizza delivery to the park works well for birthday parties.
Hotels: There are no hotels in the immediate plaza, but the venue is about 4 km from the Sheraton Gateway Hotel (near Toronto Pearson Airport) and about 3 km from several motels at Dixie/Hwy 401. If you need to overnight in the area, these are convenient. Downtown Mississauga (Square One) is 20 minutes away by car and has many hotel options as well.
Shops and Services: The area is largely retail/commercial. Nearby on Eglinton are a pharmacy, a bank branch, and a few specialty stores. Any forgotten items (socks, diapers, etc.) can be picked up at these locations.
Transportation: After the park closes (9:00 PM), local streets are calm. Transit still runs into the evening on the key routes mentioned above. Taxi stands are not common here, but on-demand ride services can be booked and will pick up at the front entrance even late at night.
What Makes This Venue Special
Amazing Fun Park’s uniqueness comes from its combination of cutting-edge features and a one-of-a-kind backstory. It is one of the only indoor play parks in Mississauga designed to mimic a full amusement park experience for kids. The owners invested in attractions like glow-in-the-dark VR coasters, jungle-themed play structures, and colorful staging that you won’t find at a typical gymnastics center or play gym. Its design intentionally has the feel of a “mini theme park” under one roof.
The cultural significance is striking. Locals recall the building as the site of one of the city’s most notorious clubs; turning such a space into a cheerful play center was featured in local news (www.insauga.com ). The building’s architecture (long and rectangular) was cleverly reimagined: dark nightclub rooms gave way to brightly lit play zones. Many parents who visited the area in the past have remarked that they never thought this spot could look so different. In effect, the park embodies a positive community change – moving from an adult-only scene to a place where grandparents, parents and children can enjoy time together.
As for memorable moments, the park aims to create them. Since opening, families celebrate hundreds of birthdays here. Parents often comment on how the staff make a big deal of the birthday child (with a mascot photo-op and stage announcements). Even routine birthday parties can feel magical when your name is in lights on the stage. The venue has quickly become known as the go-to birthday spot on this side of Mississauga.
Finally, the staff and community vibe sets it apart. Reviews and testimonials highlight that the employees are energetic and kid-friendly – the CEO himself was once a party host here! – making the park feel welcoming. Many visitors return year after year, noting the park’s consistent cleanliness and friendly atmosphere. In short, Amazing Fun Park is special because it pairs top-notch facilities (rides, VR, live shows) with local character (a fun story of rebirth and a place “owned by the city’s kids” in spirit). It’s a venue that people love to say, “Hey, remember when that was a club? Now look how our kids are playing here.” (www.insauga.com )
Visitor Tips and Information
Wear Socks: Non-slip socks (grip socks) are required for everyone on the play equipment (amazingfunpark.ca ). Make sure your kids arrive wearing them or buy a pair at the front desk. Regular socks (or indoor shoes) are fine for adults.
Arrive Early: Weekends and evenings can be busy. Arriving 10–15 minutes before your session allows time to check in, sign any needed waivers, and get settled. If you’re late, you might lose part of your playtime.
Age Recommendations: Children of all ages are welcome, but attractions are best for preschoolers up to pre-teens. Kids under 4 have a special soft area; those over 12 may find the options limited. Every child must be supervised by an adult at all times. The facility is family-friendly, so feel free to bring baby wipes, snacks for young toddlers, etc.
What to Bring: Aside from socks, pack anything your child needs for comfort: a sippy cup, change of clothes for toddlers, etc. The venue is reasonably clean, but accidents happen. You might also want a light sweater (the play areas are air-conditioned). Bring only minimal valuables – there are no secure lockers, just cubby spaces by seating areas.
No Outside Food/Drink: Generally you cannot bring large meals or fast food into the center. Bottled water is okay, and any outside items should be for medical/dietary reasons. Birthday cakes (nut-free) are allowed for reserved parties. Otherwise, plan to eat beforehand or take advantage of the pizza in party packages and on-site snacks.
Dress Comfortably: There is no formal dress code, but loose clothes and jewelry (e.g. necklaces) can be a safety hazard on slides. Shorts or leggings are easier for climbing than jeans. Tight heels are not allowed (only socks on equipment).
Rules to Remember: As with any playground, no running up slides or climbing on the outside of the structure. The staff will remind children of safety rules if needed. Exploring everywhere is fine, but remind children not to charge full-speed on the equipment if it’s slippery, and to be gentle in the ball pit. Most importantly, have fun – the park encourages play and adventure!
Accessibility: The facility is accessible to wheelchairs and strollers. If you or your child have mobility needs, you’ll find ramps, wide entrances, and accessible washrooms (amazingfunpark.ca ). Some upper parts of the play structure cannot be reached by wheelchair, but lower-level games and the toddler area have flat floors. Employees are on hand to assist if needed.
How much do tickets cost and what does a ticket include?
Standard admission for one child (for about 2 hours of play) currently ranges from roughly $25 to $40 (amazingfunpark.ca ). Each child ticket comes with admission for one parent or guardian at no extra charge (so one adult per child is included) (amazingfunpark.ca ). Additional adults beyond that are typically charged at the child rate. Party and group packages cost more, but the basic admission includes unlimited access to the play areas for the session.
When do tickets need to be purchased, and can I buy them at the door?
Tickets can be bought online via the Amazing Fun Park website or at the box office (entrance) before your visit. It’s safest to reserve online in advance, especially on weekends and holidays, since sessions can sell out. Walk-in tickets are sometimes available on less busy days, but there is no guarantee until you arrive. All purchases are cashless.
What is the recommended age range for visitors?
The park welcomes children of all ages, but most attractions are geared toward ages 2–12. In fact, the owners note that the facilities are “best suited for kids between 4 to 12 years old” (amazingfunpark.ca ). Toddlers (ages 2–4) have a special soft play area. Babies in carriers or very young toddlers may not use most rides. Parents should supervise younger kids closely, but everyone – even teens – is allowed entry if accompanied by an adult.
Where can I park, and how much does it cost?
There is a large surface parking lot that serves the plaza where Amazing Fun Park is located. Parking is free for customers – just choose any empty space near the front or side of the building. On busy weekends it can fill up, but nearby overflow lots are usually available. There are also accessible parking spots close to the main entrance. No time-limited parking or meters are in effect at this plaza.
How can I get here using public transit?
Several MiWay bus routes stop near Eglinton & Dixie. For example, Route 35 (Eglinton East) and Route 5 (Dixie/Mississauga Road) run each way and stop just outside the plaza (moovitapp.com ). Route 73 and 7 run a short walk away on nearby streets (Erindale Station Rd. and Mississauga Rd.). The Dixie Transitway (near the Dixie GO station) is also a short distance north. From subway stations, you can transfer at Kipling or Credit Valley to one of these buses. The main bus stop is directly on Eglinton Ave. beside the venue.
Is the park wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the facility is designed to be accessible to all. Entrances have ramps and wide doors, and flat walkways connect the main areas. There are wheelchair-accessible restrooms and parking spots provided. (Some split-level or upper sections of the play structure cannot be reached by a wheelchair, but most attractions on the ground floor are open to everyone.) The park explicitly states it is fully accessible for persons with disabilities (amazingfunpark.ca ).
Can I bring a stroller or pushchair inside the play area?
Strollers are welcome in the facility, but not inside the active play zones. By park rules, strollers must be parked outside the play area in designated spaces (amazingfunpark.ca ). This is to keep the play areas clear and safe. You can leave the stroller in the lobby or along the seating benches when not in use, and wheel small children onto the play mats by hand instead.
Are grip socks required to play?
Yes – for safety, all children (and accompanying adults) must wear socks on the play equipment. The park specifically requires “grip socks” (socks with rubberized bottoms) for kids because some surfaces are hard and can be slippery (amazingfunpark.ca ). Regular socks are fine for adults. You can bring your own socks or purchase a pair at the front desk if needed. No shoes of any kind are allowed past the lobby.
Can I bring my own food or snacks to the park?
Outside food is generally discouraged. Small snacks (e.g. fruit, crackers) or special items (baby formula, allergy-friendly snacks) are usually permitted if needed. However, full meals or take-out meals are not allowed in the play area. (Items for booked birthday parties, like nut-free cakes or cupcakes, are allowed but must stay at the party table.) If you need a quick snack or drink, you’ll find vending machines or a small snack bar inside. Parties include pizzas and juice for the kids (amazingfunpark.ca ), so that covers most party food needs.
What do the birthday party packages include?
Birthday party packages include a reserved table area (with tablecover, plates, cups and napkins), a party host from check-in to end, a photo with the park mascot for the birthday child, and food/drinks (you get large pizzas and juice boxes for each child) (amazingfunpark.ca ). Kids also receive grip socks and admission. Packages are typically for 2 hours of fun (with about 1.5 hours of play and 30 minutes at the table). You can usually bring a special cake, but no additional outside catering is needed unless you want custom food.
Can I decorate the party area myself?
You can bring minimal decorations for your reserved party table, such as a small banner or a few balloons. However, no large wall-hangings, tape on walls, confetti, or non-weighted balloons are allowed (amazingfunpark.ca ). This rule is in place to keep the play area safe and clean for everyone. The park provides basic decorations (tablecloth, plates, etc.) in the birthday package, and you may personalize the table lightly.
Is there a limit on how long we can stay?
Yes, each standard play session is limited to 2 hours. This usually provides ample time for most children to enjoy all the attractions. When you buy a ticket or book a party, it covers two hours from entry. If the park is not too crowded, sometimes staff may allow a bit of overtime, but you should plan on leaving promptly after your session ends. Party bookings follow a similar two-hour timeline (approximately 1.5 hours of active play plus 30 minutes for eating and celebrating).
Can two children share one ticket?
No, tickets are issued per child. Each child is required to have their own admission ticket. One paid child ticket admits one adult as well, but not an additional child. In other words, each child-gen ticket covers one child and one accompanying adult. If you have two children, you need two child tickets (which allow two adults to enter).
How busy does it get and what are the best times to visit?
Busy times are typically weekends, school holidays, and any special event days. The park is usually quietest on weekday late afternoons (just after school hours) or early evenings, and also on weekday evenings outside major holidays. If you want a more relaxed visit, avoid Saturday mid-afternoon. Nonetheless, the park can admit several dozen children at once, so expect some noise and activity. Be prepared for wait times by arriving early; the staff manages flow by limiting entry when full.
Is Amazing Fun Park open year-round?
Yes, the park is an indoor facility and operates year-round. It has a consistent schedule through spring, summer, fall, and winter. It may have limited hours on statutory holidays (e.g. Christmas or New Year’s Day), so it’s best to check the official hours on their website or call before planning a visit on those days. Weather is not a factor since it’s fully enclosed.
What happened to the old nightclub that used to be here?
This building was once home to “Her” nightclub (and the adjoining Entice Ultra Club). It was a popular teen and adult dance venue until it closed amid concerns about violence. In 2024, the business owners repurposed the space into Amazing Fun Park, converting the club’s dark interior into a bright children’s playground. In other words, it’s the same physical location – just completely redecorated for a different audience (www.insauga.com ) (www.clubcrawlers.com ).
