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

Love the pretzel bites here. Seats are comfortable enough, the armrests can go up if you want to sit close to someone. Lots of parking, easy location. Close to lots of shopping areas.

nice mall. We visited so our daughter could go to Justice and to Claire's. Justice was a nice big store. It is a pretty large mall. We didn't spend much time as we were visiting mostly to enjoy the what Nova Scotia has to offer outside.

Awesome place! My kids would go there everyday if they could. It is super clean, I have no idea why any reviewer would think otherwise. We have been there more than 20 times. Other play areas around HRM are way too overcrowded. This place has great seating for adults, excellent wifi, a pretty decent assortment of snacks and they also allow you to bring lunch from neighboring restaurants and have it there. The staff know how to do their job and are super accommodating, you just have to ask. Evenings can be nice and quiet there and if you have work to do on a laptop, it is a perfect place for that too. Charging stations for phones are also available for free.
