Willows - North York Industiral

Workers are protesting due to a lack of price wage increase. However, the slots, gaming tables and simulcast are still running. A huge addition is being built. Depending on the time of day during the protest, expect a 20 minute delay to get into the parking lot. Drop of your elders near the main entrance before parking. It could be a good Lil walk outside and inside.

Ok, I do love the GREAT turf racing, especially when the Europeans come however, it’s a very “all business” kind of racetrack. Hard to move around as the grounds aren’t very big, not much to do compared to Saratoga racetrack. They are like night and day. Even the massive hedge around the paddock is too high. I wouldn’t recommend bringing children. Would love to see it a bit more family oriented. I have no interest in the casino.

A lot has changed with Woodbine Racetrack. Renovations still happening but fully operational. Racetrack is for the thoroughbred fan. Track is always busy which is a given. A few food options at the track. Indoor and outdoor(grandstand) seating. Always a happening place on race days!

Had the privilege of trying out the new Stella Artois patio on the 3rd floor yesterday. So much fun! The menu is fantastic and the service was excellent. Lots of ambassadors walking around to help people who aren't sure how to place bets. Woodbine remains one of my favourite places in Toronto to spend an afternoon!

I don’t come here often but when I do for the main events we always have a good time. The track and seating are great and the food and drink options are good too. No real complaints overall as it provides a fun day out for sure.
