Celebrated my youngest's birthday party at Kanata Gymnosphere today and I am so grateful we decided…read moreto chose a parkour birthday package to celebrate. The party consists of an hour of near constant play. All the kiddos had a fabulous time and the majority were drenched in sweat! We had two teachers for 14 kids, both of which were great. They kept the kids involved and safe. After the hour of play, the exhausted kiddos were brought into the party room for food, cake, drinks and presents. The after party is 45 minutes in length which was more than enough time for our group. The Gymnosphere will take care of all the food and drinks if you prefer. Definitely recommend this spot for any age birthday parties!

This place is amazing on so many levels. If like me, you haven't jumped on a trampoline in about 14…read moreyears, friends, you are missing out! What an amazing workout, and a ton of fun. I came here on a Saturday around 7:30pm with a group of about 15 friends to play trampoline dodgeball. Sounds intense right? Add in the fact that the majority of the participants were MMA fighters, and it gets even more hardcore! When you come into to this fairly obscurely located building, you're asked to sign a waiver at the kiosk.They ask for your drivers license number, but if you don't have one they said it's fine to just put in your initials. It is a bit pricey when you're paying for more than one person. For two adults and an hour and a half of jumping, it cost us just over $50. That includes the mandatory jumping socks which they charge you $2 for. I hung on to mine in case I go back, and they also seemed like they would be great for yoga! The space itself is huge! There's a locker room (see my tip below about that), a small snack bar, a little party room for kids, washrooms, and the trampoline area! There's a large area that has dozens of trampolines all connected in a giant one, so you can jump around (and even on the sides!). I was a bit timid at first, and it takes awhile to get comfortable, but it's awesome once you get into it! There's also two smaller jumping areas for dodgeball games (they have a staff member for each game for safety). This was super fun, but I got so exhausted quickly! You have to have great cardio, or be under the age of 12, ha! There's also two fun areas: a giant foam pit where you van practice sweet jumps and flips, and a dunk zone where you can pretend to be an awesome NBA superstar. This place was crawling with kids when we got there, but they do have an adult only night on Saturdays after 10pm. I think that would be super fun! ANDREA'S ADVICE: + Bring you own lock. The lockers are free, but I've heard rumblings of theft, so if you're bringing valuables, be sure to bring a lock. +Start off with one hour. It may be tempting to go for an hour an a half or two, but unless you've had 20 espresso shots, an hour should be plenty. + Parents keep a serious eye on your kids! There were so many little ones wondering around, and we saw at least two sprained ankles. Be safe!

Bottom line - most definitely…read morethe best mini-golf in the Ottawa area however does not offer a lot of re-playability for mini-golfers who want to be consistently challenged. What I liked: + As a new course, everything is ... new. The carpets, brick, walkways between holes. Unlike many older mini-putt courses, wood isn't used here so the course will better stand the test of time. + Lots of water rushing around the course in man-made creeks, stones, a pretty mini-golf course + There are flagsticks you can take out of the holes! + Huge patio area + Lots of undulations and tiering in the greens, many holes had "rough" - longer artificial grass + Most holes have at least one moderately challenging putt + Good washrooms at the golf course clubhouse + Detailed website What I didn't like - The course doesn't take long enough to play... interestingly there is no "par" designation for each hole however I'd say most holes' par would be 2... its probably about a par 42. That makes it a fun course to play once, but as someone who seeks challenging mini-golf, not one I come to play again and again. - They could have a little post after each hole where you could rest your card to mark your score. - Close to highway though not a lot of noise from the cars

I set up the expectation to the 18 yr old guy who was the so called supervisor ( Go Figure) of the races that day. He booted out the same 2 guys after lap 2 because they apparently broke the rules twice. We didn't realize that as the carts were really slow. We requested him to revisit his decision and that followed by a response from the young supervisor, YOU PEOPLE always break the rules..that was a comment which didn't go down well for obvious reasons. For the sake of the B'day party which we didn't want to spoil we carried on. This place is super expensive, have some atrocious rules and don't order the food. Really bad quality. STAY AWAY

It was my first time visiting top karting and ended up being here for a team event…read more Prior to the race, you have to sign a waiver and provide your license number (which was odd) and to even loosen up your muscles they have a bar as well. We had a big group of about 15 people of all ages, and sizes and luckily the carts were adjustable and able to accommodate everyone. With you signing in initially, the system automatically registers your name to a car in order to keep track of how well and how quick you're able to go through the tracks. I really enjoyed my experience here. The cars went extremely quick and the areas are padded for safety. I found the employees there are really helpful. One thing I really liked is you get a hair net prior to putting on the helmet to keep things a little cleaner and they also provide gloves if wanted. I ended up overall in 7th which wasn't too bad for my first time go karting in over 15 years.

Our usual mini golf place was close so we said lets give this place a try and I am glad we did…read more This place is reasonably priced, 14$ pp for 18 holes, with 2 kids it took about 1 hour (some of the holes we did more than once). The design is great, holes are challenging, they have a great app to keep score we had a blast. The only downside is sometimes you need to wait for the people infront of you to finish the next hole or you feel bad others are waiting for you. But since there is no rush and everyone are having a good time no one cares. There is also a mini arcade to pass time if you arrived to early or need to wait for your time slot. Bottom line: great place and my kids are already asking when are we going again.

I had forgotten its location but the big giraffe out front... this is where I used to mininputt as a kid with people no longer with us. I love that the new owner of about 10 years had kept the integrity of the mini putt area. The same little barn, humpty dumpy, church on the putt putt greens... Original, just maybe fixed up a bit. 34 acres. Long driving range. New tavern with drinks and snacks. Food truck. A putting area. Wow. My dog was welcome and we had a nice time at the tavern outer area. Serene. I'll go back. This place has great vibes for me.
