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.

This is a beautiful track. It is well maintained and is open to the public at certain times. I…read morenever knew that. 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. They do also hold events/festivals here as well, but not sure what their schedule is now with covid.

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

This is actually probably the most fun I've had in a long time. Basically you are playing a video…read moregame in real life. 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!

But every time, different people had issues with the equipment or the staff, who couldn't explain the games properly. So, we kept giving them feedback. After some time, when nothing improved and the staff didn't take any responsibility, one of our friends spoke to the manager directly and left a negative review, hoping things would get better. But today, when we tried to book another session, we were shocked to find out they banned him and a few other players who weren't happy with the service :|

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.

Came with a group. It was my first time trying Sandbox. Since a lot of us had tried VR games with…read morezombie themes, we went with the Squid games one. 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?

There is an admission fee for adults at $7 per person. Children under 7 and seniors older than 65…read moredo not have to pay the admissions fee. Parking is complimentary. We arrived slightly before 7 pm and the parking lot had plenty of spots. However, there was a line to enter. We were in line for approximately 20 minutes. A lot of the vendors only accept cash. We are from Chicago so we tried to pay with credit card and were mostly successful. We tried several items such as popcorn chicken, fried mushrooms, Taiwanese garlic sausage, eggplant bao, lamb bao, beef skewers, lamb skewers, grilled oysters, and takoyaki. There is an approximate 5-10 minute wait for each stand to prepare the food. So I would say one should expect to spend at least 1.5 hours to seek out the food, order, and eat. There are plenty of benches with seating, public bathrooms, and ATM.

Richmond Night Market has been around for 26 years now. It is a good concept to bring the night…read moremarket atmosphere commonly found in Asia to Vancouver. It is more than just food stalls and vendors selling jewelry, stickers, socks, cell phone accessories etc. There are bouncy castle, inflatable balls to run around in, zip line, fair games like the PNE etc. What I find ridiculous but common here in North America is having to pay an admission fee just so you can go spend more money on food and shopping. In other parts of the world where night market or Christmas market is a common thing, you just go stroll through the streets where vendors and shops are for free. Buy food and things when they catch your eye. So it's $7 general admission now, $5 after 10 pm for late night. Seniors (60+) and children (under 7) are free. There are some stalls offering happy hours items for the entire night ($10 under food and $7 under drinks). Otherwise food is around $15 on average. The food stalls are still mostly Asian fare. Many bbq skewers and I saw many getting the squids. I tried a frozen banana dessert which was cut up frozen banana dipped in chocolate and drizzled with pistachio sauce and that's the Dubai inspired dessert. Not that great. The cheese coin was decent with plenty of cheese. The inari bomb was pretty tasty. Many stalls are cash only. So bring cash, lots of cash. There is a 3% charge for admission ticket if paying by card. I'll say budget for minimum $100 each if you want to fully enjoy the experience of buying food from a few stalls, play a couple of games and buy things. Parking is free and well organized. There is also a lot of soccer related theme this year because of the World Cup where a few games will be held in Vancouver. I can see this place being popular for young kids, teenagers and young adults as something to do with friends. As I still travel to Asia at least once a year, I can totally skip this. If you're expecting it to be like the night markets like in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia etc, this is not it.
