Rink may be a bit older than the newer community centers but the staff seem to do a decent job maintaining their facilities. Rental service was very efficient even though staff were probably overworked the day we visited since it was a free event. 3 hour free parking available from 7am to 7pm. There is also a concession area selling hot dog, popcorn, pretzels, etc opened during the weekend but not sure of its weekday hours as it's not posted. Didn't check out their shower or other rinks in arena and it seems popular for hockey practice. Tho I don't live in Richmond, I would definitely return again to friends' invite after this pleasant first time experience. Good job to the team at Minoru Arena!

Free parking is available nearby. I came here for the Bubble Tea festival on July 23, 2022. They basically fenced off the entire stadium for the event.

I always thought it was reserved for events and pro sports like when the Whitecaps used to play here. Sure beats running at some beaten up tracks at some schools.

Came to SilverCity Riverport Cinemas and had movie snacks from Outtakes. I usually get popcorn and…read morethe usual movie snacks but I was feeling something more filling so decided to get outtakes. I got their chicken buffalo poutine and donuts, both of which were sooo good! The poutine was so flavourful and the chicken was crispy and saucy. The donuts were soft and they gave a caramel dipping sauce on the side which made it even better. Both the items were freshly made which definitely added to the taste. Giving one star less because the bathrooms in the cinema weren't clean despite there being so many stalls. It was the last show of the night but I've been to other cineplex and none have been this bad. The only time I come to this location is if I want to watch a bollywood movie!

Hubby ordered a Chicken Burger combo meal for himself, plus a poutine for our daughter and I to…read moreshare, and we had coupon for a free medium bag of popcorn. I was very happy to learn that the gravy on the poutine was vegetarian so I'd be able to eat it! Not an awesome poutine but it was better than I expected. Think I'd have preferred a larger serving of it but...it's a movie theatre and not a Costco so I guess I can't really complain about it! When I went to get our popcorn the person working at the counter asked me if I'd like to add butter or not. It costs extra for them to add butter so I took the popcorn as it was. Funny thing is...this theatre has dispensers where you can pump your own butter on to the popcorn. Why would anyone pay extra to add butter when they can pump the butter themselves for free?! From previous experience at a different SilverCity, they did ask last time whether we'd like to have the butter layered. So...I guess having different layers of butter throughout the bag as opposed to just one layer of it on top might be just cause for charging slightly more but...is it really worth an extra few dollars more?! The popcorn seems to already be kinda buttered already even without asking them to add butter or dispensing the butter yourself. I could see that some of the kernels were white and some were more yellowish from having butter on them. Service: Good Parking: Plentiful and free

My gf and I came here on a Tuesday night to try out this laser tag experience we have never heard…read moreof. It was very awesome. I would highly recommend it. The experience was intense and unique. It's basically laser tag with real looking guns that make sounds in an arena. Very military combat training-esque if you've seen any youtube videos. We went to a public session (we were only a group of 2) and specifically chose a slot that had a many other strangers. I assumed the more people, the more fun and I was right. There were two large groups that signed up along with us. It was not awkward at all. It was actually a form of bonding experience. For 1 hour, we split into two teams and played around 4 games. Each game had an objective such as Sniper (1 shot, 1 kill) or Death match (just good ol' team battle). The two teams start on opposite ends and generally converge in the middle. Once "dead", you will have to walk to your home base to "respawn". The staff was informative and helpful. Everyone got a run-through of how the guns work and general safety procedures. Tips were also provided on certain games as well. Equipment include a gun (they are heavier than you think), a headband, and a vest. During and after the game, a scoreboard displays kills, deaths, amount of ammo, accuracy ...etc. I went all out, so I was definitely out of breath for most of the games, but some people took their time and played at a leisure pace. Overall fun experience. Tips for beginners: bring a water bottle, wear darker clothing (can be a slight advantage in the sparsely lit combat field), definitely wear comfortable clothes (you will be running... to take lives and to run away), I tried to aim for at least 2 kills for every 1 of my deaths (don't want to waste time respawning)

And I would recommend coming in gym clothes because at the end of this you will be sweaty. They give you a brief debriefing and there are 3 or 4 different games you get to play. You have to watch out for people camping and there are actual clans that play together so they are really good. But it is fun and as realistic as it will get besides paint ball. This is very fun! And would recommend as a team building exercise!

This was my first time going to the Richmond sunflower festival. I was surprised with how large the…read morefields were! They have a maze, lookout decks and props throughout the fields. They have a train that takes you to the fields too. They have all different heights of sunflowers and we went during golden hour and it was not very crowded and it was easy to get some great photos. They have a U-Pick area where you can choose the best sunflower to take home. They also have very well kept gardens with other flowers! This far exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend to other!

Totally worth the price to come here! A lot of people including myself thought "hmmmm... should I…read morepay for a ticket to see flowers only?!" Indeed there were so many different types of flowers and sunflowers. I loved the train and wagon ride on weekends! When the summer in Vancouver is very nice and warm, the sunflower fields look amazing! The venue has built some decks for visitors to take photos of the sunflower fields. I also enjoyed the train driver who spoke to all the visitors when driving and someone would sing some country songs when giving us a ride. The sunflowers and other flowers were just very beautiful! Kids could also see some farm animals and families could do picnic at the field. I would highly recommend this place!!

There is a lot of gear to put on, and since it's 30 minutes from the time you enter the room, all 4-5 staff members come in to help to get stuff on quickly. The fan effects were cool and the kids were really immersed in the experience. Will be back! Suggestions - start the 30 minutes from the time the game starts rather than when we enter the room and have to get all the gear on. The kids wanted more time. We arrived early but the overall game experience was probably 20 minutes. - Try to put other groups in farther away rooms if possible. We can hear the screams from next door.

We got sensors on our left and right wrists, and ankles. For those that had glasses, we had to were the googles over our glasses which we were advised could interfere with some of the sensors in the eyes but overall, they were fine. Although we put them in place at the outset, all those with glasses all agreed that the googles still moved regardless of how tight we had them. Overall though, the googles didn't interfere too much with the game. For those familiar with Squid Game, it followed a similar pattern where we played group games to win individual points. It was a really fun theme, especially for those of us that don't like zombie pop ups. Lots of feet and hand movements. We really appreciated that right after the game is over, they led us to the back to show us three clips about our experience. The clip was also emailed directly to us right away. A really fun activity with a group. Would definitely do this again, and... perhaps won't be so nice with sharing info about certain aspects. Every man for themselves right?

It was a little rainy when we went so the crowd wasn't as heavy which I enjoyed. Free parking on the premises which is nice too! Vendor prices were pretty high for majority of them and pictures are very deceiving. We got the foie gras vendor and got the toast sampler, but they are not actually toast sizes, but miniature sized and then the sample of the duck is half that. Felt a little scammy but was fine to try once. When you arrive, some businesses will offer special coupons too which we took advantage of some like the lemon tea shop which was tasty. There is live entertainment (a band) as well as some fair games, and ziplining which is cool. This was my second time here, first being over 10 years but for me, I think 2 times was sufficient.
