This review is specifically for the pool(s). The facilities are really good, although the changing…read moreroom/showers are fairly primitive. The salt water pools are both nice--a good sized lap pool and a warmer leisure for water walking and kid fun, as well as a river for floating and relaxing. There is also a giant water slide. The downside is the management of the pools, or lack thereof. Don't expect rules to be enforced, especially in summer, when the lifeguards are almost exclusively teenagers. Kids play in the lap lanes, which disappear with little regard to the schedule. I saw a child dive into the shallow end of the kids' pool and not one of the three lifeguards said anything or perhaps even noticed. Usually there's only one swim lane during aquafit, even if the class is sparsely attended. If you want equipment--water weights, for instance--you often have to hunt down someone to get them for you from a back room. Most gyms I've been to have that equipment readily available. During aquafit classes, the music is so loud that the people in the water often can't hear the instructor, and the instructors are already miked. The volume is headache-inducing at times. Additionally, the music itself is generally very bad. In the morning, it's the same hits of the 70s on a loop ("American Pie" every morning gets old quickly) and in the evenings it's even worse. Little effort seems to go into matching what people in the aquafit classes might enjoy--it's just typical aerobics music, with no imagination or common sense put into the song choice, given that the majority of the people in the classes are 65-plus. (Pre-1960 music actually had a beat--people jitterbugged to it!) I mention music because it's loud, there's no escaping it, and having contemporary country (for example) blaring in your ear isn't always what you want when you're trying to unwind after a long day.

Nice floor, I go here allot. Unfortunately, the owner and the manager are rude so avoid them. Other…read morethan that, is a good place to skate. I like their skate pass deals. Saves money if you skate allot.

We used to enjoy this skating rink but it has gone down hill. Rude staff, terrible food and all…read morethat...which could be somewhat overlooked because it is a nice rink. Today, I feel, was rock bottom and I will not return. The place is unsafe - overcrowded and zero staff on the floor. I picked up trash on the rink floor as well as someone's stopper that had come off. Unfortunately the day ended with me at the ER due to these unsafe conditions. I sacrificed myself to avoid a small child when another person hit me - ultimately smashing my face into the floor and causing about an inch long laceration on my chin. A fellow skaters stopped to help and abother lady went with me to the restroom to help control the bleeding. zero reaction from any staff - pardon the woman bleeding in the floor! I gathered my daughter and her 3 cousins that I had brought along with us, while clutching a blood soaked paper towel to my face. Still zero notice from any staff. The only time anyone working took notice of me was as I was walking out the door - I was approached by a young woman that wanted my personal inform to submit to their insurance. Thanks for nothing Lynden Skateway. I hope your policy doubles. Hopefully nobody slipped in my blood. What a disaster.

Lynden Skateway - Accidents happen & should  acknowledged...maybe even help out the bleeding woman with 4 kids in tow. No at Lynden Skateway!

I'm not the world's biggest baseball fan, but in my opinion nothing says Bellingham like a night at…read moreJoe Martin Field to root for our hometown Bells. I was there recently for a rained out game vs. the epically-named Walla Walla Sweets, and even though the game never even got started we still had a great time! I've also attended many fun (and sunny) games in the past, usually on $2 Tuesday when you can buy a second ticket for just (you guessed it) two smackeroos. One of the least mentioned things about attending a Bells game is that they seriously have the most impressive tap list I've ever seen at a sporting event. Yeah, there's a guy selling the cheap stuff too - but just past him you'll find taps (and cans) of many classic local and regional brews. When's the last time you saw Iron Horse Brewery's Irish Death on tap at T-Mobile Park in Seattle? I'm just sayin'. By the way, even though our game against the very entertaining Sweets was rained out I'll still go again - because I can use my "rained out" ticket stub at a future game to get in free. How cool is that? Go Bells!

I love the Bells just as much as I did during my first review. Cheap and family friendly…read moreentertainment located just off of Exit 253. General admission does include grassy area and bleacher seating along the first and third bases. VIP seating includes waiter service. Seating areas can be reserved for private groups and will be marked appropriately. If you plan on attending $2 Tuesday, consider coming a little early. Tickets do occasionally sell out. Be considerate of neighbors when parking. Nobody likes to come home and be unable to park. Also, mind parking laws. Parking on crosswalks, in front of mailboxes, and very close to STOP signs really isn't a good idea. If you buy the wrong size apparel from the team store, they will allow you to exchange sizes. No returns. Prices are a little high; items are good quality. Some of the concession stand food is lacking. Don't waste money on the veggie burger. For $7, burger only, it actually really is quite pitiful. $2 Tuesday concession items for $2 include a hotdog, nachos, large fountain pop, and select beer.
