If your team will finish your games early on Saturday and you are looking for a place to visit, we recommend Canada's Wonderland where they are celebrating Filipino Day at the Kingswood Music Theatre.
If you do not want to wander very far from your gym and you just want a nice place for your children to play while waiting for your next games, Playdium in Mississauga will be a great place to go. They have a special 4 hours of unlimited play on Saturdays from 4 PM to 1 AM.
Another great way to while away your time in between your games is at the Square One Shopping Mall in downtown Mississauga. Its about 5-15 minutes drive from the gyms and is a short walk if you are staying at the Novotel Hotel.
If your team gets eliminated early and you are free on Sunday or Labour Day Monday, spend your entire day at The Ex where the largest annual fair in Canada (CNE) is wrapping up its season.
Your visit to Toronto is not complete without seeing Niagara Falls which is just an hour drive from Mississauga. If you have a day to spare at Niagara Falls, park your car at Queenston Heights Park (free admission) and just ride the Peoples Mover from the park to the various Niagara Falls attraction sites.
For maps and directions to the above attractions, check out our Google Maps.
