Neb's Funworld - February 4th, 2026

 On the evening of February 4th, Scott and I drove out to Neb's Funworld in Oshawa for an evening of fun with our friends Amadeo, Joseph, and Sarah! We had a fun time riding some rides, eating great food, and playing many arcade games! Sadly we didn't have time for some bowling this visit, but we'll make that a priority next time as it was quite fun during our first visit last year.

Later this year Neb's will be adding a motion theatre called Mansion Theatre, a laser tag arena called Mansion Laser Tag, and a replacement of the Skylight Screamer which will spin and drop! It's exciting to see this family entertainment center continue to add new attractions! I can't wait to try out the new attractions when they open!

Be sure to enjoy some photos of our evening at Neb's Funworld! ๐Ÿ™‚


This evening marked Scott and I's second visit to Neb's Funworld. It is a really cool family entrainment center (FEC).

Scott and I arrived a bit early, so we enjoyed a meal and played some arcade games before Amadeo, Joseph, and Sarah arrived. Here is the hamburger meal combo. It is very tasty and well priced!

Here's Scott playing some Galaga in the arcade.

Here I am trying to knock down some clowns...

And shooting some hoops! Neb's Funworld operates on a card system that allows you to enjoy both the arcade games and rides!

Here's the Sparetime Express. It is a fun E&F Miler family coaster located on a mezzanine. It rode just as good as it had a year ago!

We also rode the Skylight Screamer! While it provides stomach tickling drops, I can't wait to try the new version that will be replacing this unit later this year!

Here's another look at the Sparetime Express and Bumper Cars located on the mezzanine. Scott, Amadeo, Joseph, and I bumped each other rather hard on the bumper cars! ๐Ÿ˜‚

We also took a ride on the mild looking, but insane Speedway! It really whips you around! ๐Ÿคฃ

Our final ride of the night was on the ChronozZ, which was new for last year! It is quite fun like it was last year!

We then played arcade games for the last 45 minutes that Neb's Funworld was open for as they close at 10pm.

They even have classics like Skeeball.

After a great evening of fun, it was time to head home! Thanks to Amadeo for this photo of himself, Scott, me, and Joseph! ๐Ÿ™‚

Winterfest at Canada's Wonderland - December 22nd, 2025

 On Monday, December 22nd, my brother Scott and I did another visit to Winterfest at Canada's Wonderland!

This visit was taken at a leisurely pace, taking in some shows, enjoying great food, and riding some rides. Thankfully it wasn't very cold, which made for a very enjoyable evening! It was really fun visiting just a few days before Christmas as it really helped get into the spirit! Be sure to enjoy the photos from our visit! ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŽ„❄️


Our third Winterfest visit of the season started off with milder temperatures of around 0°C (32°F), compared to a temperature of -22°C (-7.6°F) with the Windchill just two weeks ago!

We went to Lazy Bear Lodge for our first meal of the day as it was one of a few restaurants open throughout our visit.

The Reindeer Roundup is a funny animatronic show.

Our first ride of the visit was on Wilde Knight Mares! It was one of the few rides that kept going all evening!

After a spin on Wilde Knight Mares, we took a ride on Viking's Rage. It was being a bit temperamental in the milder temperatures today! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Arthur's Baye in Yuletide Village (Medieval Faire) was frozen over!

We then ventured over to North Pole (Grande World Exposition of 1890) to take in some shows. Here's a look at one of the elves sitting on the shoulders of a reindeer.

Scott and I always enjoy starting our evening off with the Polar Party. The entertainers are really good at what they do, adding a touch of humour to the show!

As it was just one day after winter solstice, the lights came on quite early!

The park seemed to have a decent crowd as many people are off from work and school for the Holidays now!

At 4:30pm, we caught a showing of the Cool Yule show. It's always a great one to watch as they sing many Christmas songs!

The lights on the houses in Frontier Canada were working quite well during this visit as they flashed to the music.

We checked out Charlie Brown's Christmas Tree Lot and saw Peppermint Patty during our visit!

Before taking in The MistleTones show in Frontier Canada, we ventured through Kidzville, taking many photos of the lights.

There's just something magical about seeing Wilde Knight Mares operating far off in the distance through the Christmas lights!

Charlie Brown's Christmas Town is quite beautiful with its colourful lights!

As you can see, there was some snow still on the grounds at the park.

At 5:15pm, we took in The MistleTones. These ladies did a great job at signing some Christmas songs with some humour!

The lights in Frontier Canada are very beautiful!

Near AlpenFury in AlpenFest are the Kris Kringles. These silly Winterfest characters sure love hamming it up for the camera! They even asked me "What's up Doc?"!๐Ÿ˜‚

The lights along International Street always look so nice!

The backside of the drawbridge in Medieval Faire is also very nice with its wreaths and garland!

With it being so close to Christmas day, it definitely felt like Christmas this visit!

Yuletide Village was buzzing with excitement as Wilde Knight Mares rose to the skies!

It is nice how they have live entertainment in Yuletide Village featuring local artists.

The light tunnel is always fun to walk through as the lights race around you!

Viking's Rage is quite stunning during Winterfest as it swings over a frozen Arthur's Baye.

I had some chocolate ice cream from the Cookie Cafe. I enjoy having ice cream anytime of year!

Before taking in another showing of the Polar Party, Scott and I took a spin on the Antique Carousel.

The lights in the North Pole behind Antique Carousel and Swing of the Century are very nice, shining bright in the darkness!

This showing of the Polar Party featured games for both young and young at heart. Here are some children partaking in the "tree decorating" game. Scott and I were later chosen to partake in a game of Christmas Charades, where we won some Christmas socks!

After a fun time at the Polar Party, we ventured to International Street, making our way to Aprรจs Poutinerie for our second meal of the night.

We had the Turkey Dinner Poutine which was very delicious, like we had discovered on our previous visit!

After eating, we headed over to Boo Blasters. The wait wasn't too long despite a temporary delay.

After a ride on Boo Blasters, Scott posed with Franklin!

Our final ride of the night was on Thunder Run!

Here we are in front of some Christmas baubles near the front gate.

Just before leaving, we posed with Jack Frost! After our photo, he stayed stuck for 20+ seconds after we walked away! He takes freezing to a whole new level! ๐Ÿคฃ

Unfortunately the lighting wasn't too great for this photo, but here we are with Mr. Tanenbaum, the host of Polar Party and the unofficial Mayor of Winterfest!

Here's one final look at Wonder Mountain before heading out!

That's a wrap on our third visit of Winterfest at Canada's Wonderland! Thanks for following along! Have a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! ๐Ÿ™‚๐ŸŽ„❄️
