You are charging disable people for a service they will never use. In the last year I gave your business a 1000 dollars in admission fees. Not to include the food.

I love this place. It's been a total lifesaver for those crazy days with my one year old. I usually…read morecome here on days where my kid is driving me crazy, is getting into everything at home, and when I need a break. This place really tires her out. It can cost a pretty penny per visit, so we ended up getting an annual pass which was $99, and included entrance for our child, and two adults. The pass literally pays for itself after the first couple of visits. Birthday parties are also 50% off with an annual pass. Adults DO have to pay to get in, kinda sucks, but kinda understand why. Babies 11 months and under are free. There is a kiddie zone for kids 4 and under. I did notice that some of the older kids sneak into this zone, which sucks, because they normally play rougher than the babies/younger kids. There is also a dance room/area for kids to dance and go crazy, an arcade area near the food court, and smaller rides for the younger kids like a carousel and cars (the kind that you would find at the mall that costs 2 bucks). Parking is a nightmare. It's always full, and people never look where they are driving. Last time I was here, I saw a, most likely VERY tired mom, back up into another car. It is just mayhem here. On really busy days, they usually have an employee directing traffic. Ahemmm...it's like a kiddie Costco! Again, great place for kids to burn off energy, and for babies to get their stimulation.

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!

TL;DR: It's a farm-themed amusement park for kids by day and by night leading up to Halloween it's…read moreone of those haunted house horror screamfest experiences, lol. Saunders Farm is not a place that I would go of my own accord because It's too far outside of the city for me and I like neither farms nor horror experiences. However, I found myself going there with my husband, a friend and the friend's two kids. Overall, it was not as bad as I thought it would be, lol. We went during the day in September, so my review is of the farm-themed amusement park. General admission was $29 a person. I think they are only open September through December with it being most popular around Halloween. There were a few mazes, haunted houses that you walk through, and lots of play structures. There was also a zipline, which the kids did, but I did not. The zipline is not included in the general admission and was an additional $15 a person. They also had tractor rides, a Harvest one that was scenic and not meant to be scary and a Haunted one which had a few scares. They also had a big bouncy area like a bouncy castle but no walls or ceiling. They also had puppet shows, a theatre show and a monster parade. They have carnival games where you shoot cans, toss rings and things like that for prizes. There are no roller coasters or bumper cars. They have a few gift shops with very overpriced items. The candy store had no prices on the candy and our friend bought a few pop rocks, airheads and a lollipop for his kids and it was over $20. They have a few different places to eat as well. A few sit down restaurants and a few food court vendors where you take your food and eat at one of the picnic tables on the grounds. I had chicken tenders at "What the Cluck?" and it was $14 for 3 small chicken tenders and some fries. I was happy that the chicken tenders were real chicken breast meat and although they were small, they tasted good. The fries were nice and crispy too. The only thing I didn't like is staff dump the fries from the fryer into a large metal holding container and when customers ordered fries I saw staff grabbing the fries with their bare hands putting them into the paper containers and giving them to the customers. I'd think that would be hot and uncomfortable for staff, not to mention unhygienic for customers. The guy handling the chicken used tongs to place the chicken in the container, but fries guy bare handed it! WTF! Use some tongs or wear gloves, please. My husband got a Pogo with fries $10 at "Pogos + Poutine." This is where our friend and his kids got food as well. "Pogos + Poutine" and "What the Cluck?" have different menus but they share the same kitchen space. So their fries were handled by bare hands guy too. Overall, I think Saunders Farm is good for kids and families during the day. I can't speak to their Frightfest that happens at night. There's free parking on the grounds. It's plentiful, but not paved. (155)

This is a review for Frightfest!…read more I came on a Sunday evening with a few friends. Tickets were purchased in advance and were pricier than I thought it would be $60 each. I think if you bought them further in advance, there was a possibility to get 15% off. This was my first time visiting Saunder's farm and I was really impressed. Super scary and well-planned haunted houses! I think this would make a good night out for groups We came on a rainy and cold night and it was pretty busy. Lines for the haunted houses were between 10-45 minutes each. It was overall very organized and fun! Not for the very young (too scary) or if you have walking difficulties (it was muddy and slippery so definitely could potentially fall). Would definitely come again!

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.

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.

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!
