The arcade area was kid friendly but kind of pricey at $2-$3 for each game. I found the dark mini golf was a bit challenging for 3-4 year olds. The parents helped their kids. The staff were friendly and very good with the kids. I loved the separate party areas where you can enjoy cake and present opening with guests. I had moments where I couldn't see my son because it was so dark. My son said some of the decor was a bit too scary for him. It felt like Halloween. I could see what he meant that it would be scary for young kids. Overall, a cool place to host a party.

Actually, we've been coming here for years and years. However, today we saw something different…read more The place is still staffed by teenagers, some surly, some sweet. This time, the Outtakes Cafe was open for once. This is the first time we had a chance to try it. The troll got chili poutine, and I had nachos. The kid behind the counter warned me that their nachos weren't like the regular theaters nachos. I did know they came with sour cream and guacamole...right? Um...yeah. That's why I ordered it. He made it sound like a bad thing. The poutine was apparently tasty, but not very hot. I actually really liked my nachos, even though the cheese sauce lacked flavor, the generous puddles of sour cream and guacamole made up for it. Theater prices, but you can use your Scene card. Also, we saw the latest Star Trek movie, with the Panoramic view. I think this is a brand new thing--new for us anyway. The movie has a couple of extra screens on the sides for a little bit of extra footage. They tack on a bit more admission for this, but I used some points on my Scene card to cushion that. The troll and I are in agreement. The panoramic view made some scenes really cool, but were completely unnecessary in others. Made for some impressive battle scenes, a cooler space station, and flashy credits. We also agree that the Panoramic view would have MUCH more impressive if it didn't have corners. The images don't meld together. They could be jarring at times. Oh well...new technology and it will most likely improve over time. Loved the Star Trek movie, but I'm not sure i'd pay extra to see this one or any others with the three screen view.

Nice place with pleasant staff and a burger/fries type fast food outlet and the usual popcorn/drink deals. Large games room. I saw the new 2016 Star Trek film with the panoramic screen system. One in the front and continuations on the left and on the right on separate screens. Pretty sweet . Sound was nice and loud and excellent. The film itself is probably the third best of the Trek films .They really nailed it this time. Going back tomorrow afternoon to see the new Blair Witch in some other new AVX format or something.

This is a great place to get a taste of the VR world that is currently blowing up right now!…read more Out of the several options that are available in Edmonton for VR sessions we have found this to be the best place to check it out. The rates are very fare and they have quite a few rooms ( over ten I believe). There are dozens of great VR games with many of them being multiplayer ( you have to try ) and others being single player adventures and simulation experiences. They are also getting ready to launch the Virtuix Omni which is a really cool system that works with the current set up of Vr glasses and a form of remote but adds the element of you walking/running on a in place track , i know I'll be back to try this out Out of the few times I've been here there was a time where there was only one person running the whole facility ... this can be demanding when setting people up in multiplayer games and initial introduction, Travis did a great job running around and helping us out so the wait time was not too bad.

The rest of the chairs are set in circles with varying degrees of recline-ability. The show was called Trust the universe. It was listening to philosophy and watching and hearing a beautiful show. The rest of the science centre was closed to the public. But you could purchase drinks (even a glass of wine!) and snacks and bring them into the theatre. Hard to describe it, except if you like the first act of Fantasia, when it's just colour and movement to music., the. You will really like this. It was similar, but the 360 dome made it such a wonderful and relaxing experience. Lots of galaxy, stars and moving colour and light. Absolutely worth it and would like to see more performances like this.

This place brings out my inner 10 year old nerdy/geeky child, and I love it!…read moreEven if you don't like science-y things, you will still enjoy yourself plenty here The IMAX theatre is amazing (and comfy), the gift shop is full of unique trinkets, gadgets and thingamajigs galore, and obviously the exhibits are top-notch! There are so many things happening here it's insane! @_@ I appreciate the super family-friendly environment and play areas for the kids, which encourages me to bring out my own inner kid and play again And I also like how they have certain hours for adults-only play time too! The Dark Matter events are also great adult-only play-times at the science centre, hosted about once every 2 months. If you haven't been before, you got to check out the next one! I've always had a lot more fun than I anticipated having attended a couple Dark Matter events previously (example- smashing veggies dipped in liquid nitrogen all over the floor!) The permanent galleries/exhibits are great fun, whether you've been once or a hundred times, and it's more magical sharing with a group of your crazy cool friends (or borrowing your nieces & nephews for the afternoon haha)! The traveling exhibits are the highlight of why I think this place is awesome, like the dinosaur exhibits, Star Wars, Sherlock Holmes (super fun but my detective skills were lacking in solving the murder mystery lol) and my all-time favourite Body Worlds (seeing the inner you in a whole new perspective....)!! And multiple other events that use the science centre as a venue to host seminars, webinars, clinics and more! In-a-nutshell, come check it!

The pizza and food is a bit on the pricey side but nowhere near as expensive as the bowling alley where my daughter had her last birthday party. When you enter Chuck E Cheese, they stamp you and your children's forearms with invisible ink numbers to ensure a match when you leave. (Pretty smart cookies to not wash away the numbers). The highlight of the visit is always when Chuck E comes out and gives hugs & hi-5's before doing a parade and dance ending in free tickets being thrown into the air for the chitlins to collect. Inevitably, there will always be broken games & jammed machines but staff are always available to quickly refund your token and fix it whenever possible (secret service style talking to each other on their little microphones). The live action video recording blue screen area by the back stage is always a hit with my kiddos. My daughter likes to dance like crazy on the blue screen and it's free! They also have a climbing structure but trouble is you have to be pretty adept at climbing to make it up to the crawling tubes so my newly two year old hasn't gotten to experience that aspect yet. There are several rides where one token is good for two kids. There are games here challenging for any adult to master and easy enough for a two year old to have fun. I do think they hit the nail on the head by making every game and ride exactly 1 token! Tokens are 3 for a $1 or with coupons you can score 100 for $25. We've frequented this location dozens of times over the past 5 years and keep coming back. Are there things I would improve? Of course there are. But you do get pretty good bang for your buck here and the kiddos really do have fun. I think I've gotten to know you well enough that we should be on a first name basis now, Chuck. Until later Chuck, Kristin

I came here for my nephew's birthday. We had an awesome time!…read more We got the 1hr all you can play deal. It was so worth it. We couldn't stop playing, laughing, competing. We had a blast! This place is good to have a bonding time with your kids play, take a break and snack, talk and go back again for some more fun. I notice other groups having booking and cookie cake, pizza, etc. They seem to have a good time while kids are playing around. KIds love this place. I would say kids until 6-7 y/o

It's great when you don't have to keep shifting in your chair to see whatever you're trying to watch. Entering and exiting the building is pretty straightforward. They have stairs, escalators and elevators. Just remember you will need to get through security when you come in for events. The different seating sections are labelled clearly. There are plenty of staff available to assist you. Food concession stands are everywhere. Washrooms are relatively easy to find. I appreciate that this venue is located in downtown Edmonton. I know that some people have differing opinions about this but I personally like the energy and vibe this venue brings to our city. It's a cool looking building from the outside and inside. A variety of different events are held here, from sporting events to concerts. It's probably best known as the home arena of the Edmonton Oilers! This amazing venue brings our community together. It's a place where we can make and share lots of wonderful memories!

I have a annual pass to this place to watch movies and enter exhibits. It's totally worthwhile because If you go during the weekdays you almost have the place to yourself or just before closing too. I like the space exhibit which actually has a peice of the moon on display. But there are tons of interactive games and puzzles that most adults play too (some are still challenging for me for the first time). There is a cool body exhibits to explore which is cool if it's your first time there to see how your body works and how healthy you are. There's also a giant play are in 2 parts of the center. One one main floor and second floor. So the kids have plenty of place sto burn off their excess energy. I could stare at the ball thing thatis ancient for hours bc that's what I used to do as child mesmerized by the journey that little ball takes. I would highly recommend watching the imax movies here because usually the only last 2 rows are sold out so there's alot of space in between people. Staff are friendly and there's alot of areas to just eat if you pack your own lunch. Annual members get a 10% discount which is really nice too! I personally think the roving exhibits are a perfect date night since there's alot to do or talk about. And situated in west downtown there's alot of good places to eat nearby. I think edmontons telus center is better than the over busy and crowded ones in vancouver or calgary. With alot more to do. I think edmontonians take this place for granted.

The atmosphere is ok but not very appealing! The music is extremely loud, especially if you are closer to the windows. The food was not bad but again lacking the "wow factor"! The group that I was with liked more physical games like basketball and it's funny that all three basketball games were broken or malfunctioning and when we informed the staff, they seemed to know about it. I think there should have been a sign on the broken games especially because they were not free. :) In general, It wasn't a great experience and I may never go back there again!
