I haven't been to the Ex for over 15 years until this past weekend and it still made me really happy. I got to live my childhood again. $18 admission on a weekend. It's $5 after 5pm on weekdays. Driving there and parking is not as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't hit any traffic and only spent less than 5 mins looking for parking. I parked for $15 at lot that was about 2 blocks away near the Dufferin gates. Place is packed with people having a good item. It hasn't changed much which I liked. Some great exhibits, this year they had sand castle competitions, sculptures made out of butter and a great acrobatic show. The laser performance was so awesome, blew my mind! Of coarse the food, we had chocolate fried chicken... Mmm Mmm Mmm! And there were lots of rides and games.
