Designed for kids of all ages, the new premium entertainment complex will be tech-infused, offering classic and state-of-the-art games and interactive experiences like high-tech minigolf, bowling, and a variety of tasty and playful food options. This new Playdium location will be situated next to the entrance of Cineplex Cinemas Fairview Mall.

"We're combining the best in entertainment and fast-casual dining by opening a Playdium alongside our Cineplex Cinemas at CF Fairview Mall.

Spanning approximately 20,000 square feet, the complex will be dedicated to games and attractions for all skill levels, while also offering a range of food and beverage options, including chef-inspired burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, nachos, tacos and a selection of sweet treats. Designed to accommodate large groups, Playdium will be the perfect spot for parties, events and team building, with private rooms for birthday parties and special gatherings.

Cineplex first announced the expansion of the Playdium concept in 2017, with locations now open in Whitby and Brampton, Ont., and Dartmouth, N.S. Playdium complexes are part of Cineplex's location-based entertainment venues, including The Rec Room with over 10 locations across the country.
