Did you know Sandbox VR has a Squid Game inspired VR game?! I tried it over the weekend with my…read morefriends and I have to say, it was the best VR experience I've had in Vancouver. Their Squid Game one is only for 6 people. The games are almost similar to the actual Squid Games and their whole story is also the same. The graphics felt so real and the games too! We even played red light green light!! After your session, they email you a video FOR FREE that shows you in real life and your actions in VR. I know other places that provide that too but they did it for free which was pretty cool. They also have a birthday special VR where after your game they take you to a VR birthday room and you get to cut a cake with your friends. Again that is also free. Their service was amazing! Liz was helping our group and definitely added to the fun. Would highly recommend checking out their Surrey location. It's very transit friendly! P.S. they have a Stranger Things inspired game as well

Muriel Arnason library aka Willowbrook is a perfect place to take the kids to grab a new book filled with new adventures, to get some necessary studying done in a somewhat quiet place, to use a computer if yours has crashed, to make some copies, to get some "me-time" if it's needed... I love libraries.... Always a good idea to make your way to one...

Although it might not have the biggest selection, you can just go online, find the book or material you want, put a hold on it, and it'll get delivered to the library via another partner library. That's why I'm not bothered by the small size of the library - I haven't had trouble finding material I've needed as I can get it delivered from another library. All in all, I'm so glad we have this place in the neighborhood!

This review is for the PoMo Arts Center, right in the heart of Port Moody (NOT for the entire city…read moreof Port Moody, as the earlier reviewer was somehow under the impression). And the POMOarts Center and organization in general is pretty darn fabulous. I was only recently introduced to PomoArts by an awesome friend of mine who is an artist and recently exhibited some of her artwork here (check out the PoMo "Art4Life" website for info about this awesome exhibition showcasing over 20 artists. The show is on for a month, admission is free, and it's super cool, with a diverse variety of local artists' works in many different mediums). This art organization is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year! The PoMo building here is beautiful, in an old "heritage building", reminiscent of some of the traditional, historic buildings in Fort Langley and elsewhere in the province. And I really liked the whole philosophy behind this arts-focused organization, how they aim to make art available to everyone. In that vein, admission to their art shows are open to the public, and they encourage all to come, to be involved, to participate. They offer a gazillion programs for everyone from toddlers to teenagers to adults of all ages, like a real community center with programs for all. I really like that. If I lived closer, I'd definitely enroll in some of these programs. This building not only has rooms for gallery art shows and classes, but they also have a super gift shop where you can purchase artsy items made by local artists and artisans (see my review for the Blackberry Gift Shop). Port Moody, you are so lucky to have such a fabulous art organization!

HAHAHA you can review the entire city of Port Moody now?!?…read more I grew up in this city for most of my formative years, and of the suburbs in the lower mainland I would say it's the most scenic. The entire city is based around the inlet, which stops at a beautiful and massive park in the center of the city. Most of the services and neighborhoods of this city are also based around this area, and it's the primary outdoor recreational spot here. There's been some huge developments in the central neighborhoods of Port Moody, with new condos springing up constantly. To the north of this neighborhood are the very rich, to the west the very poor. St Johns and the street behind are made up of mom and pop businesses that make up in authenticity what they lack in profit. Except for the pubs, which have always made a killing on college-aged locals. A lot of people I grew up with never left Port moody, instead opting to move several blocks away and keep in touch with their families. I personally thought it was a terrible place to grow up (bored suburban teenager) but would move back in a decade no problem. They really need a renewed focus on "the arts" The fact that I can review this city on Yelp is hilarious! Thanks Bridget S!
