I've painted at other pottery places before, but this is my first time at Color Me Mine. I was impressed by the great selection of pottery pieces available and there was so much to choose from that the kids were picking a piece, changing their mind, and then changing it again! They even had licensed character pottery pieces like Snoopy, Peanuts, Hello Kitty, and Monsters Inc! We finally settled on a fairy riding a unicorn piece (Can it get any more girly than that?) and my daughter had so much fun picking out paint colours. The staff working at the Color Me Mine Kensington location was a huge help explaining how to get the most vibrant colour from the paint, how long the whole process takes, and she was came around to change the water frequently. She even showed my daughter the kiln and explained how the whole process worked to fire the pottery. We had a great afternoon and I can't wait to see the finished result!

Nothing about it is "phoned in". The puzzles fit the theme perfectly, using tons of authentic props that never break the immersion of the setting. The puzzles are all really clever conceptually and in execution, without ever being frustrating. And the really unique hint system helps you out if you're stuck without ever breaking the fourth wall. We can't wait for the next room to open.

We have been once to check it out. Its $20 an hour per person but that hour can be plenty for a first time patron. My child loved it so much he begged to have his birthday party there. Booking the party was a breeze. Packages to pick from and dates and times that were available. They even called 2 days before the event to confirm times, amount of kids and all the food we ordered. Which was great. We chose a Saturday afternoon and this place was very busy. The great thing about this place is you can fill out the waiver and set-up an account online before arriving. So you're not standing in line trying to do this. A real breeze and time saver. You can also do this if you're just going in, not just for a birthday party. The kids had a blast. They had an hour to go ahead and jump around, 30 minutes to come back to our table and have food and cake, than another hour to jump and play. A party is 2.5 hours and that was more than plenty. The kids were pooped, sweaty and had so much fun. The great thing is, we also had a host who took care of everything (timing things, when the food was ready, keeping the kids on track, decorations, plates etc). The only thing we needed to take care of was bringing a birthday cake and goodie bags for the kids. They took care of everything else and was a stress-free birthday party. Which doesn't happen too often. I think all parents should take their kids here at least once. Plenty to do for all ages and what's not to love about a trampoline park? Highly recommended.

Oh you just go ahead and try lock me up... I will escape! Our team solved most of the puzzles in…read morecrazy multi-level inception style dream room, but a few mysteries remain unsolved. Puzzle # 1 - What the heck is an Esxoss Manway? Puzzle # 2 - How do I even pronounce Esxoss? And S into an X? My tongue is confused! Boasting itself as Calgary's Only High Tech Escape room, Esxoss Manway incorporated some very cool multimedia tech into the room. The story line for the Inception (not actually Inception) room was more elaborate than I've ever seen in an escape room. It was really cool to see, but at the same time it would take some really intense script writing to get this thing to make sense. I keep referring to Inception, so I might as well keep with the example - if you've seen the movie, you may very well have been left with a strong feeling of "what in the #@*! even happened?!" Well, you're onto something because the same goes for this puzzle room. It was fun and very bold that they tried to take it to a level past "Hey, you! Escape this room!" and incorporate a full on murder mystery, but in practice I'm not really sure it added to much to the experience. I've played some basic plot lines with very creative puzzles, but this room was kind of the opposite. There were some very interactive features that are exciting and well thought out. At the same time, there were some puzzles that I felt missed the mark. It wasn't even a case of us not being able to solve them, but there were some definite leaps of faith along the way, and a few clues that were a pretty big stretch. If you're down with math, Esxoss Manway will be your jam, there's quite a bit of it. Don't be surprised to find yourself self writing number down and doing some good ol' fashioned long division. When the calculations get really hard, however, they might hook you up with a calculator. Not a spoiler! Or is it?! NO, it's not... Or.. is it?! Go and find out!

Great indoor place. Best in south Calgary not the best for value and size in Calgary…read more Staff are friendly. Lots of sitting area. Medium size playground with slides to trampoline to ball room to jungle room. Arcade size is decent that takes in house tokens with about 10 games and air hockey table of course.

This is a great place for kids! The charge per kid is only $10, which is an excellent deal. Many…read moreother places charge 50-100% more, and because of that we avoid them. It's a new facility, so the equipment is new and in great condition. There are many different play structures for kids to have fun on; both my three year old and my seven year old can easily spend more than two hours there without getting bored. There are really only two negatives I can think of. One, the price of some food is a bit high. Not outrageous mind you, but $24 is a bit on the high side for a large pepperoni pizza and two drinks. Thankfully the drink refills are free. They have a variety of items, so you can pick what your budget allows. The second negative is the arcade. It has all new games, but yikes, they are expensive. We spent $10 on a game card, got 24 tokens, and blew threw them in less ten minutes. Most of the games are six or eight tokens - a few are four - so your token credits go fast. And the games are over in a matter of seconds. One in particular drops a single ball, costs six or eight tokens, and it's over in about five seconds. Their arcade should have more games that are less expensive and last longer for kids to play. The tickets you earn on games are tracked digitally - that's slick, no waste - and can be exchanged for your typical cheap trinkets. But the kids have fun "shopping" with their tickets, so it's fun for them. Despite the two complaits above, I'd still highly recommend this place to anyone with kids who's looking for an affordable way to entertain them for hours.

A great NEW indoor playground for children…read more The entrance had enough space to take off your shoes and coats. I did not notice any paid lockers for valuables but a lot of cubbies. The admission price was great. About $13 for children and we arrived at 7pm and received 10% off! That was an added bonus. The jungle theme of the playground is fun! I noticed at least 8 private party rooms. Separate toddler areas looked fun! The food selection was great! We had juice boxes $1, fruit salad $7 (fresh! Not canned) and tea $3.50. I noticed people around me having pizza, fries, poutine and sandwiches. It all looked delicious. But the best part was the actual playground. Right off the bat I noticed this massive climbing wall (soft walled, trampoline like fabric) with a huge slide! It looked very exciting. The kids just flew down that slide. It reminded me of my childhood. The ball pit had a tube that kids put balls in and it sucked the balls up to a bucket above their heads. Then after awhile the bucket dumps the balls on the kids. My daughter thought this was hilarious. We are looking forward to spending many hours here during our cold winter! Perfect Friday night.
