Alright, but skippable.
Went there as a familly with 3 kids, even thought neither of the adult jumped or used the attractions, we still had to pay the full admission price and the mantatory socks. So that's more or less 60$ to supervise kids.
I get it might hard to police participating adults vs supervising adults... With 2 messed up knees I would have like to be able to wear a red bracelet or something for a discounted price.
But that is their pricing structure, it was not a surprise or anything... Just makes for an expensive day.
At least I was hoping to snack well.
Ohhh, if you thought I knocked off 2 stars because of the price, you would be deeply wrong. Hold on to your trousers, gloves are coming off...
Look, I grew up in Quebec and I'm coming up on my 4th decade of poutine eating. I've had my fair share of disappointing poutines and I've learn to lower the bar when travelling.
Is the problem that they don't use cheese curds? Well it sure is an issue, but not one to write a lenghty 3 star review about.
So I ordered a poutine, well, 2 actually... but might as well have been 2/3 of of one..
And before I go any further, let me tell you: I read the review from the person who actually counted their fries... I thought that person was clinically insane. Counting fried?! Someone call the ward, they're short 1 patient... little did I expect that review to be so right.
So what I am about to say is not to be taken lightly : In all my life. Eating poutine accross 5 or 6 different provinces and a territory; even eating poutine outside of our country...I have never, NEVER before, seen a poutine container that underfilled.
I would probably knock off a full star had there been twice the amount of fries in there.
To help illustrate my statement and the seriousness of the situation, the container was so severely underfilled you could have put a flat top lid on top of the container and it would not have touched the food. What. The. Flying. (get it?) F.... ...ries.
I have 2 leading hypothesis that might provide an explanaition for this egregious situation: A) Maybe the Sysco truck crashed and they were running low on fries that day and decided to ration the fries. Or; B) Maybe the person who filled our container decided to go try the trampoline between the deep frier and the sauce filling station.
But there's a clear sign that no food is allowed near the trampoline so I doubt B is the issue.
... the orange socks are nice thought. Still wearing them.
Speaking of, if you want an actual tip: put the orange socks on top if your normal socks. That concrete floor is cold after a few hours of not...
Read moreThis was our first and last time at skyzone. For the price of admission I felt kinda ripped off.
The entire area is just grungy looking. Very dirty throughout the entire building (( bathrooms ( both male and female were disgusting) entrance, boot area, floors, play areas))
Some guy is announcing random things over the speaker system that you can't really make out, unnessary added noise to an already noisy environment which is expected.
They have these rules which I understand such as only one kid per piece of equipment, however there are so many kids that it's impossible to maintain that rule so your constantly hearing from the "supervisors" that your kid can't do this or that. Just becomes annoying and overcrowded feeling. Which comes to the point that they are not either maintaining the proper kid ratio, or have a better set up to keep the rules in place.
Designated Times should be set up to allow for older jumpers ( 16 PLUS) to alleviate the strain on the workers. Also for safety as I watched a 160 lb man bulldoze a young kid ( 5 maybe) on the trampoline.
The equipment looks dirty, and old.
I did the survey they send out after to share your experience. I shared my disappointment and they offered me half off a 60 minute jump session AFTER you purchase your first 60 minute jump session. They want me to actually pay to come back to that dirt hole.
However the garlic fingers were good despite us having a dirty table to sit at we still decided to eat at this establishment which hindsight being 2020 probably wasn't...
Read moreGreat full day of fun! Got our $$ worth with the all day passes. My son and his friends spent a few hours earlier in the day having a blast and running around. When they were burnt out, they went home - had a good relax, and back we went in time for the Saturday night glow party!! Which is INCLUDED in the all day pass. AMAZING because typically, most places would exclude 'special' activities and charge a premium. As parents we appreciated the comfortable table seating. The selection of music playing was pretty good as well. They have a good snack bar with fairly priced items -both hot and cold options (pizza, ice cream and all the yummy things in between)
Parents - it gets warm in there, and loud. But I promise - it's fun. (just don't expect to sit back and relax and read a book) it'll be worth it though.. The kids will sleep!!
*NOTE * If attending the glow night, anyone jumping or climbing will need to have a shirt that 'glows' under black light (white, florescent...) if you don't have one - they do sell them. $$ Mom tip- I suggest going to WallyMart or Mike-Als craft store, spending the $5 per shirt and having the kiddos just...
