Who’s never wished they could be a part of their favorite movie? Who hasn’t experienced the adrenaline rush that comes with envisioning themselves as a pivotal part of their beloved show? While you could keep on dreaming about becoming a member of your favorite cinematic masterpiece, how about actually stepping into the world of your go-to franchise?
This spring, embark on a one-way trip into your dearest films and shows with these themed immersive experiences in Toronto. Whether you’re a sucker for the thrilling sci-fi world of Stranger Things, the futuristic atmosphere of Jurassic World or the hilarious set of The Office, the city’s got plenty in store for you.
Embark into the Upside Down at the Stranger Things Experience
We can’t guarantee you’ll embody your favourite character for this one, because that could be painful (no spoilers) but you’ll sure come close. You’ll be called to uncover your own superpowers to give our Eggo-loving teen a hand in saving the Upside Down from the grips of Vecna.
After freeing Hawkins of danger, there are plenty of Stranger Things-themed food and drinks to delight in at the Mix-Tape area. You’ll get to lounge there for however long you wish, enjoying photo-ops, merch and set replicas like the Byers living room, on top of all the yummy food offerings at Scoops Ahoy and Surfer Boy Pizza.

Travel to Isla Nublar at the Jurassic World Exhibition
Change of scenery for this immersive experience coming in Mississauga near Toronto: we’re transported straight to the prehistoric jungle! In the midst of luscious branches, the dinosaurs of Isla Nublar are coming to life. From the imposing Indominous Rex to the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the adorable little Bumpy, life-size recreations of your favorites are coming near the Square One Shopping Centre — bringing with them all the thrill of the sci-fi franchise.
It’s an opportunity to unleash your inner paleontologist (or just your inner child), meeting members of the carnivorous, herbivorous, and omnivorous species in all shapes and sizes… and we mean all. You’ll even get to pay tiny parasaurolophus babies a visit in their incubator located at the Hammonds Creation Lab. There, you’ll learn more about the history of prehistoric life and the science behind it all.
It’s an exciting adventure into prehistoric life you do not want to miss. Grab tickets to the Jurassic World exhibition here.
Become the world’s best boss at The Office Experience
The Office never leaves us be: from memes about the hit show to real-life references, it continues to make us laugh like no other. And much to our delight, the doors of Dunder Mifflin are now open in Toronto! At Yorkdale Shopping Centre, you’ll find replicas of your favourite sets, iconic props and fun costumes that were actually featured in The Office. There’s a total of 17 rooms inspired by the hit show that will take you on a wild ride through The Office’s funniest scenes.
Try Spilling the Chili like Kevin, running away as fast as you can from your responsibilities as the best boss ever, marveling at merch that’s way too cool for Angela… or maybe just parkour through all 17 rooms of the experience. Either way, the adventure will transport you straight into the tv show.
