Although it is congested with a gaggle of tourist in the summer, it is the winter that the locals…read moretake back the lake. The lake becomes filled with fishing shacks, quads and snow machines but also the annual festivities of Winterfest on the Saturday of the Family Day Long weekend. All around town, businesses have Winterfest specials and the day is kicked off with the annual Polar Dip, where brave souls dive into the icy waters of Sylvan Lake for charity and then a game of hockey. The lake is busy with skaters on the prepared ice rink, sleigh rides, burgers and hot dogs. The local community centre holds and indoor farmer's market. The day is then finished with a firework show that is usually pretty good for a smaller town. From an adult perspective, it's one of those things you can take or leave, but with kids in tow, they have a blast taking in the festivities and in turn, the adults get a kick out of them enjoying themselves.

An absolute gem of a "dive" bar…read more I dropped by The Vat yesterday after being away from the city for 5 years - it hasn't changed a lick, and that's a good thing. One of the funkiest live music venues/dive bars I've ever been to, The Vat is funky, eclectic and altogether charming and welcoming. No wonder it's a hit with diverse people ranging from college students to old regulars. I wish I could pick it up and take it with me, up north to Edmonton. The server was friendly, the beer (house draught) was ultra-cheap and cold, and even though there were only a couple of rub-a-dubs around on a Sunday afternoon at 2, it was a blast. Definitely drop by if you've never been. A great way to break up the long drive from Edmonton to Calgary, or vice versa.

Been here a few times for pool league and must say service is friendly and quick. Not much to eat…read morehowever so as someone else noted keep that in mind. Couple pool tables, massive but g screen tv for sporting events, no debit or credit cards accepted but bank machine on premises. I think it's a rustic old school bar (some use the term dive) but it reminds me of the bar I grew up playing pool in. Industry nights on Sunday's are a blast with some good open stage talents. It ain't high brow but I like it plenty ;)

The two tier seats are neat and next time I will take upper seats to see over the glass. For $90 a family pack will get the whole family out for an evening.

Don't expect high class theatre seating like cineplex. Definitely great for children depending on the movie, price is affordable only debit or cash, no credit. What you expect to have in a theatre at decent quality. Game room open area is small with arcade games. One spot purchase for tickets and food at the concession. Parking is large and located around the building when driving in. There is a shared business next door Ctrl-V but entrance appears to be separate from the cinema entrance. To be honest I'm not sure I'd bring a date here, but for sure kids if I were to babysit. Maybe just friends who wanna watch a cheap movie in the box office or old movie. Volume is also decent in theatre. Also note that they promote businesses on the prescreen which is a good way to support local businesses for a price of course.
