    First off - just wanted to make a note that the entrance fee to this exhibition is a bit steep. I only able to take my 3yr old and weren’t able to go visit as a family. Having said that, this is truly a great experience for kids (and adults). Such colourful displays and the books do truly come to life. Each room has activities to keep the kids and adults engaged. It is a treat for Dr Seuss fans and those that aren’t, will probably get hooked after visiting this place. Very captivating and worth the drive from KW to Mississauga. Of course as you would have probably noticed, the displays are very instagram worthy and does attract a fair bit of adult crowd too. Do visit if you get a chance, as it is a travelling exhibition and you may not get a chance so close to home anytime soon. Although I wish the entrance was a bit cheaper, all things said, I think it limits entry to those who aren’t willing to cough up this amount and keeps crowds relatively smaller. I only wish I could have taken the whole family to experience this once in a blue moon experience and get amazed by the world of Dr Seuss.

    Very nice! Especially the cat in the hat character (he was amazing and had the perfect personality). The place itself is not very big and got very busy. we had to stand in line to get into any of the rooms but the wait was no longer than 10 min per room. So go first thing in the morning if you can.

    Like jumping into one of my favourite childhood stories. My sister and I had so much fun with this pop up experience. Took lots of great pictures. It was definitely worth the price we paid to experience it while it was around Toronto. The rooms had a lot of detail. Took us around an hour and a half to go through them all and do all do the activities they had set up. The stamp book was a great take home souvenir as well!

    We had a blast. As a parent who grew up reading these books and now sharing those books with my children, we enjoyed 2+ hours of family fun! Lots of cool photo opportunities, lights, colours and an overall super fun experience. We loved it and would go back for sure. Gift shop was a little expensive and not many options.

    It was a pretty place for instagram pictures, and as for the kids they loved it so much and felt like they were in wonderland not the entertainment park, but like in a unique place. They tell you your ticket is for 2 hours but really no one cares if you leave with in two hours or not. The staff is really friendly.

    Amazing! It was really fun and intriguing. I felt as if I had stepped back into my childhood for a couple hours and it felt comforting. I went before COVID got really serious but I’m sure it’s still just as fun. The only downfall I would say is that it’s a one time thing, for me at least. It just wouldn’t seem interesting the second time. The prices are also pretty high for souvenirs but the price for admission tickets were fair. Besides that, I would definitely recommend this experience for younger children and families.

    Loved the experience. Great for kids and adults. If you are a Seuss fan, you will definitely enjoy. But if you are not you might be motivated to look his work up. The kids had a fantastic time. Fantastic chance to use that brain of yours. Great photo opportunities as well. Staff was great as well. Lots of parking spots right outside.

    The kids had a great time. The 9 different rooms were a lot of fun and represented an aspect of one Dr. Seuss book. Lots of rules to follow. My 3 year old couldn't go on one of the rides because she was 3, should go by size not age. There were kids on the ride the same size as her and the price for a 3 year old is the same as a 4 or 5 year old.

    I am so glad I didn't listen to negative reviews. My mom and I drove from Dallas and enjoyed every single minute--so adults without children can also have fun! Every experience is what you make it. The creativity put into this exhibit is beautiful if you grew up on Dr. Seuss. Photo opportunities everywhere. Of course, I would have loved many more rooms, but for $33, I think it was more than worth the price. We also got photos with Cat in the Hat and Grinch! Missed The Lorax, but he was also there.

    Girls loved it. Very enjoyable and different. Girls varied from ages 8 to 12. Their grandfather also went and 3 adults. It was great to see them explore and have fun. It is really pricey I thought for what u get but I've read that there has been some added rooms and with it being the first year, I'm sure itll just be more grand the following. Overall a great experience.

    The rooms were small compared to the number of people allowed in each time. Way overpriced for what they were offering. The toys etc. looked like they’ve been through some heavy use already. Would not recommend.

    Our kids are huge fans of Dr. Seuss (and so am I). They loved the exhibits. Lots to explore and many things to entertain yourself with as parents/adults too.

    Yes it's expensive but it was worth everything! my adult self went with my parents and we had so much fun living through our childhood stories. Every rooms is interactive and fun. It does seem like it would be for children but it really is for us kids at heart

    Thought this place was fun but it was the biggest waste of money. It was my sons birthday so I thought I’d take him and his best friend here. It was overpriced and I wish I could get a refund. There’s only 9 rooms and they make you get a stamp from each room and for what, there’s no gift at the end for doing it. It’s sad that the kids favourite part was putting a ball through a tube. I think maybe they should have more live characters as they only had one.
