What Torontonians Are Choosing Over Scroll-and-Sip Nights

More of us are trading crowded patios or endless TikTok scrolling for hands-on experiences. In Toronto, that might mean:

  • Trying rug tufting in Leslieville
  • Crafting candles in Trinity Bellwoods
  • Painting canvases at your local art studio

And yes, after a full week at the office, creative spark is becoming the new cocktail.

But Creativity Comes in Many Forms - Including Digital

Right here in downtown Toronto, we’re also seeing a shift toward high-tech relaxation:

Levelup Reality offers immersive VR experiences that let you:

  • Let the music move you as you catch notes, ride the rails, and dodge obstacles in a unique combination of freestyle dancing and fitness workout that’ll allow you to burn calories while having tons of fun at the same time.
  • Play VR escape room games with friends
  • Physically engage- duck, dodge, laugh- without a single paintbrush.

This digital creativity taps into the same sense of wonder and presence as a painting class – just in another dimension.

How to Pick Your Creative Escape

Here’s a guide to help you choose the right way to unwind:

  • Prefer tactile crafts? Head to Fresh Paint Studio and get hands-on with real paint.
  • Want a full-escape, no mess? Book a session at Levelup Reality and step into another world.

No matter what you pick, you’re investing in your well-being and joining a vibrant Toronto community.
