The sheet itself is kept in good condition. I appreciate that there is a spectator area on both the ground floor and second floor for those who want to watch. The upstairs area also has a bar and kitchen (not always open). Prices at the bar are reasonable. There is also a dance floor for private events with a fairly good sound system.

As a huge Go-Kart enthusiast, I was really excited to go see what Kartbahn Racing had to offer. I…read morewasn't overwhelmed by their track, because it is indoor there is limited room and he track wasn't as big as some outdoor ones that I've driven. The equipment and facility are well kept and clean (which is a major perk), and the staff are friendly, but one of the major problem is the price. It can get pretty expensive if you are planning on riding for awhile. Prices are set for blocks of laps and blocks of 5 laps only last about 10 minutes, which left me disappointed after my turn was up. Hot Hint: There are opportunities for group and party rates, just call ahead to reserve a time.

This is a hidden gem if you have preschool aged kids at home. I only heard about if from the friend…read moreof a friend. It is located in the basement of the Halifax Vineyard Church and can be kind of hard to find, but don't let that put you off. The entrance to the indoor playground is at the back of the church. Look for signs for the Avoda Cafe which is on the side facing Sackville drive. There is no street signage for the Playground. Just a heads up that it is only open limited hours: Wednesdays and Thursdays 9-11am. The cost is a bargain at $2 a child! The Vineyard Church also rents the space for birthdays. Once you enter there at lots of coat hooks and cubbies for boots. There are also tables and chairs for kids and parents where you can eat your own snacks. As a budget conscious and try-to-be health conscious, parent I always like to bring my own snacks. Better than buying the sugary treats you are forced to at some play places (Skip Hop I am looking at you). The play area is an open space that has a track for kids to race around on peddle cars and several play houses for burning off at all winter excess energy. The highlights for my little guy is a huge plastic RV that kids can pretend to hit the road in and large sit-on plane which can take their imaginations to the clouds. For quiet play, there is also a lego section, toy kitchens, play dough and colouring area, a train table, and cute stuffed animal hospital. The place is very clean and there are always staff making sure things are put away and picking up toys that could cause a trip. The only drawbacks are the limited times it is open and that they keep the temperature pretty low in the room. With the bare (in places) concrete floor that can make it really chilly. I think it is run by volunteer members of the church so I can understand why they can't afford 9-5 hours but it be nice to see a few more mornings added. I'd give it a 4.5 stars if I could.

So, I can't comment on the entire place, because this visit was just to the "Wave Pool" but one…read morething I must say is: Holy cow! The place is looking great! Not the same rec. centre we used to go to when we were kids! Now, on to the Wave Pool... As I mentioned, I've been going to the Wave Pool since I was a kid. I spent a LOT of time learning backstroke and front crawl in that pool. It seemed deeper back then... Anyways, the pool is still great. It looks almost exactly the same as when I was a kid except there's some new equipment (a climbing wall in the deep end for kids...HOW COOL!!) and you don't have to pay for the inner-tubes anymore! I like this pool because it's good for swimming laps, just hanging out with friends or taking little kids swimming. It's got a gradual slope so it starts about ankle deep and moves out to 6 feet in the deepest part. Every 15 minutes, during family swims, they turn on the waves. Kinda fun as an adult, EPIC FUN as a kid (especially if you can grab one of those inner-tubes!) The place is pretty clean, but be warned: The locker rooms are FREEZING and sometimes have pretty sloppy floors. Other than that small issue, this is an awesome place to take your kids or just go swim some laps!

I started going to the wave pool when it first opened, and ad not been back for about 15 years…read moreuntil recently. There have been major renovations outside the pool, but the pool itself is still the same great pool it always has been. The prices are low, but have gone up since some of the prior reviews. We just put our daughter into swimming lessons and the instructors seem to do a great job with the kids making sure they are teaching to their level. My lane swims cost me $4.00 even, and the parent and tot swims are $4.50 but we will probably be getting a family pass in the near future. Great place, and if you've never been in a pool with indoor waves, I'd highly suggest checking it out.

What is there not to love about this part of the Dalhousie campus?…read more Year-round, there is someone doing something fun here. In the summer, it may be sunbathing, Frisbee or tight-rope walking.

Nobody will know you're not a student if you saddle up flower side to enjoy this grassy knoll. You can listen to student's conversations as they pass by, fretting over an assignment or having drank too much the night before, or else take a nap and tune the world out with the academic buildings keep you safe within their ivied walls. Sometimes there are BBQs on the lawn or games of Quidditch and frisbee, electrifying the space with student competition. I like to sit on the bench in the middle whenever I'm passing through and just look out over the campus, enjoying the often blue skies and the lush, manicured lawns. Oh Academia, how lovely you can be...

I know how to get in the building, find the change room, and hit the gym for Ball Hockey…read more What I don't know, is what else this building is used for! I like it for my needs! It's old, outdated, and rather unattractive. The gym as small as it is functions well for those of us that use it, but I'd almost rather play elsewhere! It's mediocre at best my friends!

The Little Gym is where my twin nieces go for their gymnastics lessons…read more Yesterday, I went to go watch them perform their "show week", which is basically where the kids show off what they've learnt in the past semester and they get their medals for graduating the class. The gym itself is impeccably clean, with more space than you would guess if you went by how small the the front entrance is. It's a bit of a pain to get to the restrooms because you have to traverse the entire gym floor, or try and edge your way around the mats if there's anything going on. After the show, the kids went into a smaller room, which looked to be like a party/events room with tables for the kids to sit and eat their snacks. I like that parents/friends were allowed to be actively involved in the show and could move about to take pictures. All the kids looked like they were having a blast
