The storyline for Atlantis was well crafted and entertaining. Truthfully we missed a couple of really obvious clues, but at other times we truly needed a bit of help to move forward. We've played at many places and this was the first time when a staff member came into the room each time you buzzed for a clue; we were accustomed to someone speaking through a screen or intercom! The gentleman who assisted was very friendly and helpful start to finish. Definitely recommend!

Lane rentals are at reasonable…read moreprices, the lanes are well maintained and it is the only place in the metro area that has 10 pin bowling with a variety of bowling balls ranging from 7-15 lbs in mass to accommodate almost everyone (it also has 5 pin bowling available). They have a well stocked snack bar (which includes beer and some alcohol) as well as a lounge area for legal patrons (19 years of age or older) and a party room for birthday parties or other celebrations. There are several leagues which are held during the year, including a 10 pin bowling league which is a great opportunity to have a night out and meet new people. As well, if you like darts, they hold several dart leagues as well (must be 19+). Definitely a great place for all age groups and personalities. You have to check this place out.

Petty Harbour is one pretty example, that's a short drive from St. John's on the way to Cape Spear. It's located on the Avalon Peninsula and in the heart of Motion Bay. A nice Air Canada steward on our JFK-YUL flight was from Newfoundland and recommended that we visit Petty Harbour. So Gayle and I drive around the harbour and stopped to look around. I even got into a conversation with a local fisherman, who proudly recommended some other sights we should see.

The town itself is over 200 years old but was documented to have inhabitants around 1598. This was even before the arrival of the Mayflower, making this one of the oldest European Settlement in North America. In 1992 the Canadian Government declared an moratorium restricting cod fishing in Newfoundland. For generations after generations cod fishing was the major income producer in the region. This was devestating for the local economy and especially for all the fisherman whom relay on the cod to survive. Today the fishing industry is still very important to the local residence of Peggy Harbour, but tourism is also becoming a very major factor in the survival of this small town. Peggy Harbor is now home to Airbnb's, hotels, wonderful seafood restaurants, cafes, bed & breakfast, mini aquarium, charters for whale watching and fishing, walking trails and even boast to have the longest zip-line in Canada ( North Atlantic Ziplines). Due to the picturesque beauty of the area , There has been many television series and movies filmed at this location too. Small town with so much history , Enjoy ! Live/Love/Travel !

First of all, Petty Harbour has to be one of the largest and most picturesque towns in southern Newfoundland. You can actually find a bite to eat and some scenic photo spots here. The Mini Aquarium is indeed a small place. As you come into Petty Harbour you will see its sign on the side of the building and have little trouble getting there. Inside there are two small rooms with about 20-25 tanks of various species of Newfoundland Marine life. Each room has a few tanks where you can "pet" various creatures such as star fish. Washrooms are available here as well. The cost for an adult was 8-9$ (I can't remember exactly). This price was worth it to me, if in some small way to support this educational place. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with information. I came rather indifferent to making the stop, yet left glad I did.
