Unusual indoor activities in Toronto will take you out of your comfort zone. Instead of spending your day scrolling through the "New Releases" section on Netflix, head to one of these facilities to try something a little more engaging than a 10-hour Love is Blind marathon.

Here are some unusual indoor activities you can do in Toronto.

Have fun in a life-sized arcade

This gaming centre advertises itself as "a new way to play," and they're right. At Activate, you can play through a ton of blood-pumping games, like Trench, where competitors must crawl under laser beams to escape the room, and Grid, a techy take on "The Floor is Lava."

Challenge your friends at archery tag

Toronto is home to a number of archery and archery tag facilities like Archers Arena where you can live out your Hunger Games fantasies without anybody getting hurt.

Play blacklight dodgeball

When you're done shooting arrows at Archery Circuit, they also offer way more activities. You can challenge your friends to a NERF war or demolish them in a game of dodgeball, all held in their blacklit glow-in-the-dark spaces to add a neon glow to your adventures.

Test your skills at axe throwing

Nothing says stereotypical Canadian like dressing up in your finest plaid flannel and wielding an axe. Embrace your inner lumberjack and head to BATL for some target practice.

Fly a jumbo jet

Chances are you won't be taking the pilot's seat anytime soon, but Threshold Aviation offers the next best thing. If you want to try something totally different, head over and test your skills in a simulator inside a real cockpit from a scrapped Boeing 737-500.

Get creative at a glass fusing workshop

For the more creative friend group, Verbeek Glass Studio in Leslieville offers workshops where you can make your own colourful glass bowls and decorations.

Show off your moves at indoor roller skating

Though it may seem like a relic from the past, indoor roller skating is making a big resurgence in the city. Lace up some skates and take to Rollerpony for some good old fashioned retro fun.

Get acquainted with medieval martial arts

Live your childhood dream of being a Medieval Times knight at Fighting Arts Collective instead of signing up for Muay Thai. Classes here will give you the chance to sample armed, unarmed, armoured, and unarmoured combat.

Test your lock at a claw machine arcade

Despite being notoriously hard to win, claw machines can still be as fun as they are frustrating. With over 100 machines to try, you might just strike gold at Octo Zone. 

Make some customized sneakers

Attention sneakerheads! Mack House on Walnut Ave. is a workshop space and studio that provides all the tools you need to customize a pair of sneakers with your own colours, designs and look.

Let it all out at a rage room

Ever get so angry you just want to smash something? Now you can in a controlled environment thanks to Go Smash Canada. Suit up in coveralls, face shield, gloves, and vest — then get ready to destroy everything from bottles to old appliances.

Try parkour

While parkour is typically done outdoors, fans of the activity can get in on the action at The Monkey Vault at Downsview Park. The facility is a giant playground with a variety of classes for all different skill levels.

Race through an obstacle course

Sometimes finding the motivation to exercise is hard, which is why obstacle courses make for a great fitness option. Pursuit OCR has a big course that consists of almost two dozen different obstacles to keep things interesting and make for the ultimate gym experience.

Bounce around on an indoor trampoline

If you were one of those kids whose dreams of having a backyard trampoline never actualized, head over to Sky Zone in Leaside to bounce to your heart's content. You can even challenge your friends to a high flying game of dodgeball.

Clallenge your friends to a go kart race

Taking to the track against your friends with a go-kart is one of the most classic competitive activities. Dominate the competition — and even celebrate with a real racing podium — at K1 Speed, with a huge track that can accommodate you and your best frenemies.
