Nostalgia Goals x1000

Let’s be honest – the world sometimes can feel like it’s a bit of a mess. We’ve all got a lot on our proverbial plates these days. Personally, I am always trying to remind myself that even though I usually don’t finish my to-do list, I am doing my best. It’s one of the reasons why when we are introduced to amazing experiences and pop-ups here in the city that allow me to take a break and just enjoy myself, I am always going to recommend them to you.

Well friends, let me tell you about HideSeek. Think of is as Real Life Recess – a pop-up experience inspired by childhood nostalgia in the heart of #Toronto that you simply HAVE TO COME SEE!

I know that personally, they had me at recess. But for those of you who need a bit more information before you jump to get your tickets – let me talk about what the concept is and why I’m going to go several times during it’s run from March 30th – June 2nd 2019 @ 1305 Dundas Street West.

“HideSeek transforms 7,000 square feet into a multi-sensory adventure that fulfills the universal dream of adulthood: to feel like a kid again. HideSeek invites guests of all ages to rediscover the carefree spirit of childhood play, as they explore 45 minutes of quintessential whimsy and imagination. Occupying vacant retail space in Toronto’s Dundas West neighbourhood, the pop-up is produced by a team of local designers, artists and dreamers who have curated each interaction to be reminiscent of playful childhood activities.”

Following the success of several similar experiences that had social media stardome and families flocking in record numbers, HideSeek has me most excited because it’s in a neighbourhood that is genuinely going to thrive from the foot traffic alone. It also makes me smile just thinking about exploring “12 multi-dimensional rooms, each made up of installations that will captivate guests on their self-guided tour. … enter a world of lingering bliss as they wander through a glow-in-the-dark galaxy filled with 10,000 stars, and get cozy in a larger-than-life-size pillow fort to relive the comfort of youth. Every corner of HideSeek is guaranteed to excite in person and impress in photos, with rooms bursting with bubbles and ceiling-to-floor slinkies that have a life of their own.”

So whether like me you’re looking for a great and unique date night, or you want to plan something in the city with the whole family, I encourage you to get your tickets before they sell out. And let’s be honest – they will sell out!
