Aromatic tea is key for this establishment so make sure to try one of their more than 6 specialty teas to help digest meals. Food-wise you’ll find yourself in for a treat with the likes of East Tea Can’s delectable signature beef shawarma, grilled lamb chops, hummus with chicken or falafel.
Escape From The 6
At Escape From The 6, you and your friends work together to solve puzzles, find clues and best challenges to escape from immersive real world escape rooms. The rooms are designed to fit one of two themes: a wild west outlaw escape or a firefighter rescue. Once inside, you’ll get 60 minutes to explore through the game environment and decipher various mental obstacles. Rated the number one escape room in Mississauga on Tripadvisor, Escape From The 6 is the perfect spot for a night out with friends, a family game night, a date night or birthday parties.
Wahoosh Falls
Hidden away between Mississauga Road and Burnhamthorpe Road West, the Wahoosh Falls are a quiet oasis, and Mississauga’s very own small waterfall. The untouched Wahoosh Falls are a natural gem, feeding into the Credit River. They provide a calm place to get away from the noise of city living and take in the peaceful sound of cascading falls. In addition, they also serve as a fantastic subject for photo taking. This escape destination, however, requires a bit of a walk from an unmarked trailhead that starts from Mississauga Road.
Tom Chater Memorial Park
For some outdoor activities, head down to Tom Chater Memorial Park, located on The Collegeway. This beautiful park has an abundance of lush green trees and shrubbery, making it perfect for a scenic walk outside. Park amenities include two playgrounds, a soccer field and multiple softball diamonds where league baseball nights and tournaments take place.Watch a baseball game, have a delicious picnic or take your furry friend out for a walk at Tom Chater Memorial Park.
