Top Things to do in London
Top 10 Things to do Adventurous in London, Canada
You’ll see double-decker buses and even the River Thames, but while London, Ontario, has clearly been inspired by its British namesake, this is a distinctly Canadian destination. Attractions like Fanshawe Pioneer Village, Banting House and Eldon House will captivate history buffs. Or indulge your, shall we say, slightly less cerebral side with a tour of the Labatt Brewery.

1. BATL - The Backyard Axe Throwing League
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 504 reviews
At BATL, the Backyard Axe Throwing League, we believe throwing a killer party should be fun, simple, and full of bullseyes. Whether it’s a stag, bachelorette, team-building, birthday, or fundraising event, it deserves to be memorable. No matter what BATL location you visit across North America, you can expect delicious food and drinks, axe throwing lanes, expert coaching, and a fun tournament. Boredom sold separately.

London's best and brightest indoor climbing. More than 50 roped climbs and a large boulder area featuring top rope, lead, bouldering, and autobelays on soaring walls in air conditioned comfort. Grading set from novice to expert and a constant refreshing of routes. We are where climbers come together. No advance booking is required, simply come down and our staff will give you an orientation to get you started. First time visitors must complete a waiver and for children under 18 the waiver must be completed by their parents. Waivers can be found on our website.

I came here for the first time at the beginning of Jan and I’m now a member with all my own gear. This place was addicting from the start. Staff is friendly, the refreshing of routes (especially bouldering) is frequent which adds so much to the experience. They do events often (route comps, partner climbs, glow nights, women’s nights, blood drives, etc.) so there is always something cool to look forward to! I love that they are open late because it works best for my busy schedule to come at night (Id love if they were open later on weekends though!). Prices aren’t bad especially for students ($17.50+gear)! And the membership can easily be paused which is great. This place does get pretty packed sometimes but there’s always somewhere to squeeze in. Would be great if Junction opened a second location! Definitely recommend trying climbing out whether you’re a local or a visitor!

First time ever trying this, our daughter wanted to try it. So while staying at the Best Western down the road I googled things to do. My husband and I took our daughter, shes 9. We did a family of 3 in the holodeck VR in the Temple of Diamond Skull. Talk about mind blown!!????it was so dang fun and amazing, we thought it was worth it. Would definitely recommend the Holodeck VR. The staff were great and absolutely nice and helpful. Most definitely will be coming back again. Booking a birthday party here would be awesome! Our daughter couldn't wait to come back, it honestly blew our minds. Like WOW!!???? Sooooo we ended up coming back the next day before we went home. Our daughter did the single chamber twice, once we watched her and the second time she did it while me and my husband did the Patient Zero zombie game, omg!!! That was pretty wicked. The staff were great with our daughter while we played and with us as well throughout the games. Our daughter also tried the rollercoaster game, she loved it. She said it gave her butterflies like a real ride ????. We plan on going back with my two nieces and daughter to finish the Second level of the adventure game like the Indiana Jones style. Sooo excited!!! Go check it out, its totally worth it. I think I could come back once a week or every other week to game it lol ????????????

My classmates (Masters students) and I were looking for a fun activity to do on a Thursday night to help alleviate the stress of course work, and this was the perfect place to blow off some steam. Some of us had been to other escape rooms before and some were newbies, so we had a good mix among us - when we arrived we split ourselves into two teams of 4 and picked the Gemini room(s). The Gemini room(s) are actually identical and right next to one another, allowing you to race another team for bragging rights, which was right up our alleys and made the experience 10 times more exciting. The puzzles were all unique and fun and challenged us to pay attention to details while thinking outside the box. We were given exactly 1 hour to finish the rooms, and 3 hints if we needed them per team (4 if you checked in on social media). One of our teams did manage to finish the room with a few minutes to spare, while the other failed to complete the room - so I wouldn't be concerned that a) they're all impossible or b) they're all too easy. Overall, I would definetly recommend checking them out and seeing if you can put together a team that can escape. I will for sure be back to check out their VR escape room, and can see myself bringing my family in the future!
