My best friend gave me tickets to see the Toronto Rock host the Georgia Swarm at this venue…read moretonight. I took my sweetie who has never ever watched a lacrosse game. It was an uneventful QEW drive to/from Hamilton, which is unusual. I lucked out on street parking because someone pulled out of a spot 100 metres from the stadium. I happened to be there to add a loonie to the meter since there was time remaining and paid parking ends at 6 p.m. Like all sporting venues during an event, hordes of fans, a beehive of activity from lineups for washrooms, alcohol, snacks or memorabilia, to just trying to find your seats. It's all good! Too bad lady luck didn't smile for the home team this evening. Attendance logged in at 8,841. Note to all: no outside drinks or food allowed upon entry.

I went to this location to get my second shot. By the time I got here, they only had Moderna…read morevaccines available, but one of my friends got their second dose of Pfizer vaccine here a few days after me. They either didn't have free parking available or it wasn't properly communicated. So, I parked on the opposite of the street, where there were signs saying "$5 parking for vaccination only". The whole in and out process took only 30 minutes and all the staff and volunteers were really friendly and helpful. They were doing a great job that required a lot of patience. Kudos to them all!

Have you been immersed in a free-roaming virtual reality experience? If not, you have to try this!…read moreAnd no, you won't get motion sickness or get bitten by real zombies. I'll start off by mentioning that we do have the Oculus at home, so me and my kids have used the headset and controls before. My kids are 6yo and 8yo and are under the recommended age of 10yr, but both fared well at this arena. The headset was a bit big, but Shawn (owner of this Burlington location) recommended that they bring a toque to help make it fit better. You do have to book a time slot for your experience and I hear that their weekends can fill up pretty quickly. We got to the complex at our scheduled time (it is housed within this plaza that offers swimming, dancing, coding classes) and after leaving our things in the locker, we were brought in a LED-lit room to begin our orientation. You do have to pay attention as the video also gives you instructions on the games that you'll be playing. Our first game was Engineerium. This game does not require use of the Controller. All you need to do is follow the path. The stepping stones are constantly moving and some parts make it look as if you're walking upside down! The headset is for you to communicate with your teammates and for the staff to guide you if you get stuck. I really enjoyed this quick 15m game. Our next 30m game was Singularity. You do need the Controller for this game and it is quick a big piece of equipment that you need to keep tight to your body the entire time. I found it tiring to be constantly eliminating robots and drones, but then again, I'm not a gamer. It was a fun experience for the entire family and my 6yo is already asking when we can go back. Shawn, the owner, was very helpful and answered questions that I had before going in via Instagram. The staff were friendly and helpful and the arena was very clean (no shoes allowed). I highly recommend this for a group outing, 10/10 must try!!

Efficient. Safe. Friendly, patient and understanding. Thank you for making my son's birthday so…read moremuch fun!
