This particular arcade is a "sister arcade" to the orginal amusement 2000 located on st. Cath one of the only arcades in Montreal. Both arcades are game focused and have no rewards system or tickets or anything like other arcades in the states or Toronto had so for me personally makes them a little bit less appealing but I take what I can get. I'm terms of size the location is not very big so often you'll be waiting to use a pinball machine or one of the racing games but the basketball game seems to be the most crowded. On a Friday night there were lots and I mean lots of high school aged kids pouring in and out of the place so keep that in mind if you're not a fan of having a lot of people in one spot In terms of actual game options there aren't to many on one side there's a line of pinball machines followed by 3 shooting type games and 4 basketball machines and on the other side there was a line of racing games followed by boxing machines. To me that isn't the most exciting options or diversity but again it's something. This arcade is a great way to kill an hour but it's not something you can spend a bunch of time with. With 20$ you can buy 80 tokens and it's more then enough for 2 people to play with try it out for yourself and enjoy bringing out the kid in you !

Even though I'm a picky poutine eater I went apprehensively to the Poutine Fest in Laval....I gotta…read moresupport Laval festivals! Truth be told, we were missing a lot of the big hitters who don't own food trucks. The first time I went with the Smoking BBQ Combo with Italian sausage and bacon and it was amazingly good!!! So yey! The sauce on this was BBQ and sweet and it went perfect with it. The next time I visited I went with a classic poutine with chicken at a food truck called Fat Lees and it was simply terrible! Among the worst I've ever eaten. I hope next year they have better trucks, selection is important.

I've been to Place Bell a handful of times now and I find it's a solid stadium that is essentially…read morea smaller Centre Bell. I've been here for Disney on Ice, Cirque de Soleil as well as the Rockets of Laval and never had any issue. The arena looks nice and is conveniently located if you get here by metro with a barely 3 minute walk. They started opening restos within the Place Bell so you can dine and attend your show without an issue. The concessions are limited in choices and grossly overpriced but that's what they're all about, so eat before you come! My issue lies with limited parking in this area. You have to show up super early to find free street parking. You can pay for parking but it's basically downtown prices. I hope when Place Montmorency opens up we can get more affordable parking. This has been an ongoing issue since this place opened. Place Bell does have its own parking but from what I heard it can be a challenge to leave without being stuck in traffic.... something I actively avoid. Another thing I wish this place would have would be more shows. They should be able to accommodate more musicians/entertainers considering the size of the arena. They simply can't seem to book a good comedian and seat 5000 people, it should be a non-issue.

The venue itself is fine, decent sound for an arena. Visited on Friday for Disturbed. The problem…read morehere is the parking. We arrived about half an hour before the show started but signs for parking said Full, and there wasn't much indication that we could pay to park in the mall parking lot across the street, so we drove around for awhile looking for something, finally parked about 2 blocks from the arena. The show was great. But took an hour to leave the parking lot. Unreal.

Even adults enjoyed this, although I got shot in the face at some point. They require shoes to be removed, so make sure you let younger kids go bare feet or wear grippy socks, since some areas can get slippery. My kids and I also enjoyed the slides and some arcade games, although the claw machines are kind of cheesy. Either way, this is a great choice if you want to let your kids go crazy and if you wish to release your inner child!

We now seem to be traditionally doing escape rooms with our family every Christmas time and well…read morethis time we planned on doing, apparently, the #1 escape room in the world. Now that's a pretty lofty goal to be honest. So I was looking forward to seeing why it's #1. L O C A T I O N Though folks say this spot is in Montreal, it's not. It's in Laval. It's not a far drive (roughly 30 minutes). We arrived at this large building/warehouse. The sign where the name is isn't where the entrance is and you have to go to the left of it to enter the building. There are signs at the door to tell you where to park. Plenty of parking. I N S I D E You walk in and there are lockers to the right and on the left a coat hanging area which is essential during the winter months. There is a wall of board games on the side and folks inside I believe waiting for their turn or perhaps they're the actors waiting for their next guests to arrive. Lots of areas to sit. There is a large rest room for all sexes. It reminded me a lot of the Star Wars land bathroom in Disneyland. There's a large center sink area and a steam punk like vibe in there. E X P E R I E N C E - M A G N I F I C O We entered and went to the desk. Unfortunately the lockers were all taken but they took our purses and left them behind the counter and we hung our jackets on the coat rack. We paid for the experience which is definitely one or the more expensive escape rooms per person (Roughly $190 CAD which included tax). This specific experience is 2.5 hours long and it did take us the whole 2.5 hours as it's meant to take up all that time. After a few minutes or so we were handed a ticket to join the circus and also asked if we wanted the experience in French or English. I think for the sake of us getting through puzzles, English was best. Then we were told of what we can or cannot do and also letting us know not to laugh at the actors. I guess it's happened enough that folks need to be told to be respectful of people. Then off we went. I won't spoil what happens but here are my thoughts on the whole experience. Do I think it should be #1? I don't know. Do I qualify this to be a escape room? I wouldn't. I would say it's more an interactive experience with fairly straight forward puzzles with a linear storyline. The Good Parts: + Very immersive + Easy to follow storyline and puzzles + Help was given freely + Lots of activity The Not So Good Parts: + Not really an escape room + Not really on a time crunch + Puzzles are straight forward + Hints are pushed on you relatively quickly, if you're taking too long or going down the wrong path + No way to "lose" or "fail" + Not so great for folks who cannot climb steep stairs + One of the puzzles isn't really accommodating to tall people and folks wearing big boots O V E R A L L I think as an immersive puzzler experience it's quite a memorable one but you will absolutely take all 2.5 hours. I thought oh, that should be the max time....nope. We breezed through some puzzles. Maybe 2 or 3 were a little more time intensive or we were going in the wrong direction but it's due to the story that it does take that long. The hints were really pushed on you. You'll notice lights flashing or straight forward a voice from afar saying, it's not that, don't focus on it. In terms of puzzles, they weren't super challenging especially if you've done other escape rooms. There's no sense of "escaping" anything or a time limit. So that was a little bit disappointing. There's no way you can fail in this experience. If you can't solve it, they will give you the solution to move the story along. Was it worth the price? I think if you consider it like a musical or play and most tickets are roughly that in good seats, then you're basically front and center in the whole action and doing some puzzles, then maybe? Did I think it was the best in the world? I think as an immersive experience, it was definitely impressive but in terms of difficulty of puzzles, not so much though some puzzles were creative in making use of the space you were in. It's hard to recommend, but overall, it was a good time. Just not really the escape room experience I was expecting.

We played: Wardrobe for Sale Magnifico's Circus The Forgotten Cathedral Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen The Final Stop (And the now-closed Rain Corp) We ran these games with a team of six. For The Final Stop, however, I would strongly recommend four people for the best experience. This isn't just escape rooms; it's massive, cinematic-level immersive theater. Scale and Tech: The sets are absolutely MASSIVE, housed in a sprawling warehouse. Everything felt incredibly high-tech and meticulously built. You can tell they made a massive investment in creating a truly theatrical world. Magnifico's Circus (150 minutes): This room is one of the highest-rated in the world for a reason. The 2.5-hour runtime flies by. It's a huge, spectacular adventure where the actors are truly phenomenal--their passion for their craft elevates the entire experience to a new level. Game Lengths: The standard rooms are a satisfying 75 minutes long, giving you plenty of time to explore the huge environments and complete the challenges. Acting: For every single room, the actors were brilliant and clearly love their job, making the story and immersion perfect.

While the high octane aromas will leave you smelling like you just left Elvis Gratton's Garage, the cold temperature inside the venue will make you wish you had Mario Kart on N64. Concerning prices, it comes down to pretty much 2$ a minute (or bit less), which is the industry standard. After experiencing a few other Go- Kart tracks, Kart-O-Mania seems to lack in safety. For starters, their karts have no seat belts, and their track supervisors do not seem to implement any of the safety procedures as described in their instructional pre-race video. When go-karting, a driver's safety may also depend on its fellow drivers - which is important to keep in mind when taking kids here.

Laval has been long overdue for some festival love and we recently got to enjoy our first Rib Fest…read more It was great! Location was very important and it happened across the street from Montmorency Metro station, this location is easily accessibly by metro and train. Many buses come here as well. The only outstanding issue is for people like me who came by car. Simply put, parking is practically non-existent unless you walked 10 minutes. In a way, that's a good thing. You'll need to waddle a few minutes after you leave this festival filled to the rafter with yummy grub. Rib Fest held many guests of honor that are local or from very far away. I visited this festival 3 times and it was GREAT! The food is amazing, music is solid and it is quite kid friendly as well. My only qualms were the parking as well as not enough seating during their busy time. Looking forward to their next one, hopefully in Laval!
