The Best Places to Bowl in HRM
It is time to teach your kids about the fun we used to have perfecting our bowling stride back in the day. Ordering fries, drinking sodas, and playing arcade games, the bowling alley has always been a great place for families to have inexpensive fun no matter ability or group size.
Here are the best places to swim in HRM – enjoy a splash with your tot, tween, teen or family. Be sure to double check each website to make sure the pool is open during the holidays.
Sometimes setting the reset button is as simple as getting outside for some fresh air. Take a stroll around the neighbourhood, head to your local trail or better yet, go for a winter walk on a beach!
