Then, I couldn't find my way around and a woman with glasses ran out of the back room asking me in a paranoid voice CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING?!?!?! looking me up and down like I was going to rob the place.

I got interested in archery kind of by accident. When I was in middle school, we had a…read moreShakespearean festival, which included archery among other things. The bows they had were these cheap compounds (with the wheels) intended for children... which in fairness, we were. Well that, and one step up is five times the cost. At some point many years after, I found this place. I was excited to try my hands at archery once again. Even though this place is a little out of the way, I still venture out here when I want to have a go of being a sort of Robin Hood, only one who is not nearly as good of a shot. I. Cost - Their rates are extremely reasonable for what you get. Shooting on the range is $12/hour if you bring your own equipment, and only $14 to borrow theirs. This cost includes instruction too! This is not a private lesson, but they will help you along the way with stance, aim, draw, and other such basics. II. Staff - their staff are some of the nicest, most patient people I have met! Whether they are telling you the 1st time or 101st time to bring your hand to your ear, they are just as patient and calm. Also, during my time shooting, adjusting the draw weight (on the compound) as well as the sight to my ideal levels was a non issue. III. Range - The range is pretty nice! It is well lit, fairly spacious, and they have targets at two different distances, although, I couldn't tell you what they are. I can however tell that the shorter distance is great for beginners... not so far that it becomes discouraging, but close enough that it is fairly challenging. When you are shooting, do be careful of obstacles like pipes or columns... but if you stay in your lane, you should be fine. IV. Equipment - Out of the bows you are able to rent there are recurves (think Robin Hood) and Compound bows (with wheels). I am fond of the latter, but must say the Genesis bow (make of compound) is not my favorite thing in the world. The reason for this is (don't quote me on this) compounds have a let off in weight when fully drawn. The Genesis bows do not (at least not a very significant one). I will not penalize this place for that because these are fairly cheap (~$100), durable, easily adjustable, and according to online markets a great entry level bow for people of all ages. When it comes to equipment, think of it in parallel with bowling . If you are just there to bowl for a bit of fun, you have entry level equipment (balls, shoes) that are durable, and good for those who don't take the sport too seriously. Same thing here, the bows and arm-guards aren't spectacular, and there is no mechanical release provided. If you come to shoot for an hour for fun, you probably don't care that much. As for me, I'd like to keep it casual for now... but even if I end up taking archery more seriously, I will not hesitate at returning to this place to practice!

After a 45 minute discussion about the cars and the track. I put on my racing gear (I brought my own). and headed over to the cars. The cars here were Late Models, which are somewhat different than cup cars but still fast. The cars were being used hourly so it was amazing that they were in pretty good shape. The only appearance of heavy useage was the steering wheel on my car was somewhat ragged. I got on the track and passed everyone. I wasn't afraid to floor it in the straights and I suspect this is the only place you can do this without buying your own car. Wish it could have lasted longer! LOL Great time!

Super easy going and skilled. We felt welcomed and at ease. The whole place was a vibe! Between the lively atmosphere, Jay the GM, Dave our Coach and the COO (I'm sorry but his name escapes me right now) our party ate drank and was Merry! We are planning our next trip there and bringing 3 more newbies. The lanes have electronic targets and different games that can be played and scored. Super easy to navigate even for the gen X tech challenged person I am. Dave was not only our coach but also took care of our food and drink requests. The menu is pretty extensive and I recommend the pizza. We ordered a lot of finger foods to keep it simple-they were tasty but the pizza ... gotta try the pizza! All in all whether you're looking for a fun interactive date night, a group activity for family/friends or training for the apocalypse this is a great option. Go expecting to have fun and possibly pick up a new hobby!

There were no waitresses only bar staff - no one informed us if we needed to order at the bar or if there would be a waitress coming to take our order. We ended up walking up to the bar and just ordering our food where they then told us they were out of burgers, mac n cheese and pizza. Mind you this was at 5:30 PM on the night of an event - no restaurant in Patriot Place should ever be out of the basic food at dinner time on the night of an event - who runs out of burgers?! While waiting at our table for over an hour we never received any food, no update from staff on the wait, and then pretty quickly we started seeing all the tables around us start getting upset with the staff over not getting food and when it did come (for the one table), it was all cold and not cooked! Honestly, I have never been to a restuarant and seen such bad service, bad management, and lack of organization. No one there seemed to know what was happening, when or why the food wasnt coming out, no manager came up to talk to us or the other tables and apologize for the wait, or comp food. After having 1 hr 20 mins wasted of our time, with a 3 and 4 year old hungry and anxiously waiting to go into the Monster Jam event, we left. This place sucks! And I also want to note this is the first ever complaint and review i have ever made in my 41 years on this planet...it was that bad! Robert Kraft should personally walk down there and tell the owner they are out!

I want to give a huge shout-out to an amazing employee at Southwick Zoo…read more Late Sunday afternoon, I got a flat tire near the zoo. My hybrid doesn't have a spare, and the tire inflator that came with the car wouldn't work. I was stuck and wasn't sure what I was going to do. A man named Ryan pulled over and offered to help. He told me he works at Southwick Zoo. He grabbed the jack and tools from his truck, took my tire off, plugged the hole, and put everything back together. When I offered to pay him for his time and kindness, he politely refused. In a world where we often hear about the negative, I think it's important to recognize people who go out of their way to help complete strangers. Ryan's generosity, skill, and willingness to stop and help made a stressful situation so much easier. Southwick Zoo should be proud to have someone like Ryan representing them. Thank you, Ryan, for reminding me that there are still genuinely good people in this world.

I don't remember the entrance being as expensive as it was: $38 per person but as a AAA member we scored a $2 discount each. There were three free shows/ presentations going on that day, which were posted on a big dry erase board: bird show, sloth talk, and an earth discovery creature feature. We made 2 out of 3 of them. My favorite was the bird show where they brought out 6-8 unique birds and each of them did a trick for the crowd, all while the trainers gave us fun facts about them. They had bleacher seating so very comfortable show. At the end, they had one bird who could take your money (voluntarily) and put it into a box with its beak. The money was going towards a good cause, so I donated. The sloth talk was also cool. We got to hear interesting facts about sloths and watch the sloth eat their lunch. They were also doing a Frozen skit / play for the kids when we arrived and it was pretty good and kept the kids there engaged. They have a great selection of animals throughout the zoo including large ones like rhinos, giraffes, tigers, and lions but also smaller ones like pigeons, ravens, parakeets, and prairie dogs. I did not go on / into any, but they have an overhead lift you can ride, zip lining, and a maze (not free). There is also a petting and feeding area with goats. One thing I remember there being was a deer park but I think it was closed off this time which was a bummer. For the most part, the zoo is shaded. They also have gift shops, snacks/drinks, and bathrooms throughout the park. We spent about 2.5 hours there, but might've missed a couple animals. The staff is friendly and helped us find our way around. There is a map and it's pretty good but we were just running low on time to make it to one of the events.

For all those wondering about the price, who aren't aware... sign up for an Active Account. They frequently send you emails and updates regarding future events. I received a promo for this and purchased tickets for $10 each! (Not including online fees.) Also, I've seen Groupon deals and if you prefer to wait until the very last min, I think they offer it you at $20 a bargain. Now, Let's talk about the three colored bubble boggs. Side note, I did overhear runners mentioning there were more boggs in the course during previous years... Anyhow, I was under the impression that there was one at every mile. Completely false! My best estimate of the first yellow bubble bogg was at 1/2 mile mark. This first one was rather disappointing. I'm not sure if it was meant as a tease or they did not turn on the machine all the way. There was not enough bubbles. The second green bubble bogg, maybe at the 1.5 mile? was a slightly better. I actually ran through some bubbles. The last pink bubble bogg was the best! (Guessing at 2.5ish, since we still had to race towards the finish line.) As a matter of fact, we stopped here to take all our pics. It was the most accurate representation of the race based on pictures on their website. So I have to give myself a pat on on the back here. I ran the entire 5k! Proud is an understatement! If you survive and make it to the finish line lol, there is a "Dance Party." This was probably the highlight of the event! There was a DJ to get you grooving. And they even had two cannons shooting bubbles. It was so much fun! Felt like I was in a a foam party. I gave them an extra star based on this ;-)

There were no signs telling where to go (other than the Gate number) and I drove around several times before I found the registration booths. The run itself was a lot of fun - all the bubble machines were working, and each station had colored bubbles; pink, green and blue. Be warned - your shoes get very wet and muddy! The finisher's medals were a little flimsy - not the best quality. I was a little disappointed in the "after-party" - there were no vendors, free samples or photo ops like at other 5Ks. Just a DJ with bubble cannons. But the bubbles were fun and the photos were priceless. For the $12 that it cost me (plus $10 parking) it was worth it.

Came here for a quick workout and sauna because it's the closest Y to the Wrentham Outlet Mall,…read morewhere I dropped off my friend for her shopping expedition. What amazed me: 1. The staff member working in the fitness area (moderately sized but very nice quality equipment and lots of natural light) was actually DOING SOMETHING, i.e. walking around and putting stuff back in their proper places! Never seen that at any other Y I've been to, where staff just stand around, fiddle with their phones, and generally just use up oxygen---unless they are personal trainers working with a paying client. Not only that, the guy actually noticed that I was new and came up to me, introduced himself and offered help if I ever needed any! Absolutely flabberghasting staff behavior for a YMCA, lol! If only every Y were like this. 2. The fairly new, spacious, and coed sauna next to the pool area (there are no longer single sex saunas in the locker rooms, I was told) was actually heated to a decent temperature (190F according to the thermometer hanging on the wall at chest level) AND had two levels of seating so you could actually get a decent sweat on, as opposed to some Ys that for some boneheaded reason have only a single low bench which is completely useless because duh, heat RISES so why in the hell would you want to be sitting so low when it's already maxed out at some wimpy 150F? (Cough cough, Melrose and Framingham YMCAs.) The disadvantage of a poolside sauna though is that it's a pain to go back and forth back to the locker room shower for a cold rinse every 10-15 minutes, as opposed to a locker room sauna---but this is not a fatal flaw. 3. The treadmills were by a brand called Matrix I had never seen before and I got on one hoping that it wouldn't totally suck like the Precor treadmills---happily, it did not, though I was disappointed at how tiny the screens were after being spoiled by the huge 24" screens of the Life Fitness treadmills at my home Y in Cambridge. BUT it had one beautiful feature the big fancy LF treadmills lacked: a built in cooling fan at the top of the console, which was absolutely delightful! Wish this feature were standard on EVERY piece of gym cardio equipment, lol. Only a few minior gripes about this place: - Almost all the stationary bikes were the geriatric recumbent kind. No Keiser bikes, which are the only ones with decent ergonomics and that actually feel like you're pedaling a real bike. - Kettlebells are few and max out at 22kg, which is barely enough for one handed swings and presses, but much too light for loaded carries or two handed swings. - Oh and it'd be nice if they had some hanging boxing bags, or at least one. This is one of the things that sets the Cambridge Y apart: an abundance of free-hanging real boxing bags, not the useless water-base standing bags. This gym appears to have neither. Overall though, this is a very good Y and I will be sure to return next time I'm in the area!

I needed to determine whether a minor (who I am the guardian of) had visited this trampoline park on a specific date.

When I later visited the park to obtain a copy of that waiver, I was informed that the record could no longer be located. I was subsequently told that the software provider, ROLLER, had identified two recently deleted guest profiles. However, the park then stated there was no remaining data showing that my minor had ever been at the facility, despite employees having confirmed the existence of his waiver just days earlier. I cannot speak to how or why the record disappeared. I can only state that multiple employees confirmed the waiver existed, and shortly thereafter the associated record could no longer be produced.
