I did an immersive under water adventure, Andre G. did this catapult game where he blew things up, Vanessa D. sliced up a fruit salad storm, but what I enjoyed the most and which made me wish I could bring the equipment home, was the archery game. It feels like you are using a real bow and is a surprisingly good arm workout! More recently, I attended a Yelp event here. It was a great turn out, but despite the large crowd, everyone got a turn and seemed to have a lot of fun. There are several pods available for use and we had booked them all, which I think resulted in no one having to wait too long between turns. Pricing is regularly $40 an hour. I think it would be an awesome place for a party or social event. The location couldn't be better for it. Dinner out with friends followed up by a visit with jellyfish! Beauty!

Finally, a place that delivers ramen to me! "Click Eatery" on food delivery apps is actually…read morelocated inside Click eSports in the Riocan Merivale Place plaza. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with Japanese chashu (pork belly), bok choy, sweet fried tofu, fish cake slices, an egg, corn, carrots, and green onions. There was a big bowl of fillings that was more packed than I expected and I wasn't sure how much broth would be able to fit in it. The broth came separately from the soup fillings, which was great, and I thought I was going to overflow it by pouring in the broth, but it was a perfect amount. There was some seasoning left at the bottom after pouring, so I'd suggest giving it a stir first. It wasn't boiling hot, but hot enough, and I'm sure it'd stay that way if you're not a slow eater like me. The pork belly slices were really thin and I originally wished there were more, but I didn't need it and I liked the veggies in it. The corn was a nice change to what I'm used to, and I definitely could've eaten more bok choy than the one piece. I think I had some chopped shiitake mushrooms in mine, too, which wasn't stated on the menu but I was lucky to get. The fish cake slices were pink and pretty but didn't have much flavor. The tofu was sweet and a nice change of flavor every few bites. The marinated soft boiled egg that usually comes with ramen was an extra charge, but I was fine with the fully cooked egg in it (not hard boiled, just fully cooked). The broth had some flavor, just not as much of that pork flavor as I would expect. It was salty, so I didn't drink it up as much as I usually do. It was hard to gauge size based on the picture and I wasn't sure whether the price tag would be worth the portion, but it ended up being far more filling than I thought it would be. I also ordered a cheese cream tea (lemon tea with cheese foam on top) with crystal pearls, which were an extra charge. There was no option for sweetness so I found the tea itself a little too sweet for my taste, but I could eat the cheese foam all day! I noticed they had a few desserts, so I got the red bean dorayaki and matcha mochi cookies. I had never had dorayaki before and wanted to try it. I went with the red bean filling instead of green tea and it came prepackaged in some plastic. It was thin and sort of a cake-ish texture, sweeter than I thought, so I'm glad I only got one. The mochi matcha cookies were actually mini chocolate chip cookies with matcha mochi inside and came in a package with each cookie wrapped individually. I had never had these type of cookies before, either, and they're an interesting texture with the chewy mochi inside, though I definitely tasted more chocolate chip cookie than matcha. Didn't realize the matcha flavour was artificial. I love that you can get ramen and bubble tea from the same place. They also have a few rice bento boxes and some sandwiches for those who are less adventurous. Interesting menu. Maybe next time I'll order a box of Pocky, too!

I usually get their chicken strips with fries, and it NEVER sits well with me. Sure, they taste good, but after twenty minutes I'm running to the washroom to toss it back up. A friend of mine has had their wrap and quesadillas and even she agrees that there's just something about the food that doesn't sit right in one's stomach. Overall, it's a really nice restaurant space - the fireplace is a nice, cozy touch. The food, however, leaves a bit to be desired. Prices are decent though, and they accept student meal plan, which is why I'm not giving them 1 star out of five.

A bunch of wooden chairs were set up facing the stage, and Perez gossiped about celebrities for an hour or so, told us how he got to be a famous blogger, answered some questions, signed t-shirts, and dropped as many F-bombs as he possibly could. The bouncers were a little too serious for the nature of the event and the guest of honour. You'd think that they'd lighten up a little considering it was Perez Hilton talking and not a concert or anything, but at least they made sure to keep everything safe and fight-free. Food and alcohol are offered at the Observatory. They are fully licensed and offer Starbucks coffee and a decent selection of sandwiches, salads, pizza, pub-fare, and breakfast, all for affordable prices. For those of you that are Algonquin College students, you can use your meal plan here. They also have couches, TVs, and pool tables if you want to hang out and/or study. It's also available for private rentals when it's not being used for other events.
