What to do and see in St. John's, Newfoundland: The Best Fun Activities & Games
Looking out over the city of St. John's, you may be reminded of a mini San Francisco (minus the cable cars). St. John's provides the ideal balance between nature and nightlife, from the East Coast Trail and its stunning scenery to the colorful entertainment district along George Street. Although it's the largest city in Newfoundland, the vibe is still very small-town. You'll feel welcome in the City of Legends!

I first did a couple of escape rooms (Patient 709 and Lost Colony of Atlantis) at Escape Quest back in February of 2019. This time around we did 1892. I will come back every time there is a new room to do! Every time I have been to Escape Quest the staff are consistently energetic, the rooms are engaging but not impossible to complete, and it's always a good time. I've loved puzzles and riddles and brain teasers since I was a kid and these rooms provide so many unique challenges that get your brain going. I've done these rooms with just a couple of friends each time and we always have a laugh. Super great place for an hour or two of gameplay (depending on how many rooms you book), great for team building or just having a fun night out! GO VISIT!! :) :)

Loved our time at Jack Axes. The instructor was super into it and helpful. The beer was tasty, and even though we couldn't take it to the court/lane, it was only a short walk to have another sip. They didn't hurry us out the door and we generally had an excellent time.

This place has it all. There is lots of parking, and around the building is trails to walk. Along the paths are displays of man made items to resemble the area in another era, like a well, fishing wharf, land markers and rock wall boundary. Inside the geo centre is a very inviting place, with a small lounge/cafe style area, and close by is the geo centre gift shop and has all kinds fun gifts from geode rocks to newfoundland items abd souvenirs. Downstairs is like no other. Several different areas to explore with different exhibits like the titanic, hibernia, rock walls showing the history of our land, etc. You'll be amazed by the large hanging planets above your head.
