We just finished the Train Heist room on Canada Day and we did the Magical Room before the Covid lockdown. Both rooms are a lot of fun and very impressive. The room decor and puzzles are top notch. We have done about twenty rooms and are thrilled that two of our favourites are so close to home. The Magical Room was a little more complex, but I think we enjoyed the Train Heist even more. We also took advantage of their home delivery to enjoy their wonderful selection of Escape Room games, puzzles and family board games. Everything felt super clean and safe. It's a great family experience in this time of social distancing. We are big fans and can't wait for whatever comes next. Brenton DeLong Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada

Dartmouth Crossing has some cool stores the 2 best are IKEA and Bass Pro Shops which are very close together they also have Costco Canadian Tire Walmart Kent Home Depot Best Buy Bed Bath and Beyond Toys R Us and many outlet stores. The Lindt Chocolate store which is next to Mastermind Toys and Party City has the most chocolate i have ever seen in my entire life. This Place takes a few days to descover and there is a giant mall right across from it. I wouldnt recomend buying a bookcase at IKEA or a gun cabnet at Bass Pro Shops if you dont have a car

I wish I lived closer to "Shubie Park" and I'd be there all the time. Lots of beautiful scenery here. It is great for walking. I wouldn't call it hiking as it is all wide, crusher dust, pathways with very little up and down. Walking paths are mainly tree covered. You can easily push your stroller anywhere. There is off leash parks and places for the dogs to run into the water. It's also great fro canoeing and kayaking. There are tonnes of squirrels and we saw mallards and bluejays as well. There are a couple of beaches. There are no playgrounds for the younger children. Paths are a little confusing but it is hard to get lost. There are the occasional maps along the way. Might be best to take a picture of the first one you see. It is off the Waverly road. Take Locks Road. The main entrance is at the very end of Locks Road, although there is a smaller parking lot just before that which intersects the main walking path. We were there mid-morning on a beautiful Saturday and, although busy, we found a parking spot. When we left an 1.5 hours later, cars were parked all along Locks Road. It was tricky to social distance at the very beginning but the crowd quickly thinned out. You can even walk across the highway and go to Dartmouth Crossing. The Fairbanks Centre at the main parking lot was closed. Not sure if this is a COVID-19 thing or if it is only open during the week. There was also a nice little restaurant that was closed. There are outdoor bathrooms there. Go to Nine Locks Brewery for a beer after.

The views from the ferry of both sides of the Harbour are fantastic and the ferry is very reliable, weather pending of course. Do everything within 2 hours and the transfer back is free. Can’t beat it. There is also a market in the terminal on the weekend.
