We've done a few escape rooms in our time and Escape Room Barrie figures high on our list of the best. The hosts are very good and the facilities are nicely created and are stimulating. Communication with the host during the gamne is top notch and we are led to avoid frustration if that is our desire. Parking is plentiful and free.

We visited Jack's with friends (11 people in total) and were looking for something that would engage the youngest (10) to the oldest (45). The sign in and waiver was efficient. It looks like they are preparing to move to an online waiver system. We had to purchase socks ( good quality and comfortable) for certain areas of the facility. In total, we had piles of fun The rope course was challenging enough, the ninja warrior area humbled even the strongest of us. We had fun challenging each other and the ease of interaction with the clerks on the games made it welcoming and very social. We never really had to wait long for any one game. In total, I highly recommend this business for people who enjoy challenging fun. Hopefully, it will be franchised in the future and we'll see it open up in other cities. Two criticisms for the business are the disappointment that there is nowhere to secure valuables. They have lockers which you cannot lock. We had to leave valuables in a car. Not so happy about that idea. Lastly, we brought snacks because of the day pass and had to eat them in the lobby. A small lunch room or snacking area would be a nice improvement.

Barrie’s waterfront is beautiful! There’s always something going on during summer weekends - festivals, celebrations, musicians - lots of activity. During the week it’s great for a daytime or evening stroll along the boardwalk. Fabulous restaurants nearby. The beach is great for a mini summer getaway for the day. There’s even a giant floating water park called Splash On with fun for young and old alike. There are also several boat launches. This is one of my favourite places to be in Barrie!

This is a fair sized trail system within the city of Barrie in the southend. Busy at times but is great for mtn bike riding, hikers and dog walkers. The trial has recently been upgraded with signage making it wasy to know where are and to exit at all times. For the mtn biker there are tons of strata segments. Main trail is mainly flat a view small climb. Single track has some decent up and down sections.

Ron Barid's kinetic sculpture on the shore of Kempenfelt Bay has 16 kinetic quills, which rock back and forth when the wind blows. The sculpture serves as a focal point on Barrie's waterfront and provides a navigational aid to both travellers and residents alike.
