Every time I go to Clay Cafe everyone always has lots of fun and makes good memories. Staff always helpful and full of ideas, tips, and encouragement. Now with covid they offer take home kits which is a great idea to do something different at home and still have fun. Lots of selection online.

We were visiting family and hadn't gotten a chance to celebrate our anniversary, discovered an escape room on our last day in town- New Year day (holiday). I contacted the staff via email to confirm availability and they got back to me immediately and were happy to come in and set everything up for us even though they had no bookings for the day. We had a fantastic time! very grateful for the accommodating staff who took time from their holiday to help us celebrate! Great for small groups, couples, families, work team building... a fantastic way to spend a rainy day in town while you wait for laundry etc.

BernArt

BernArt .... be aMAZEd! Canada's first art maze with nearly a kilometer of paths to explore. There's a surprise around every corner created by artists from around the world. Not the usual unusual!

Reviewed By AnyDirectionUChoose - Halifax, Canada

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this one of a kind art maze. I had noticed it when driving by a few times and kept saying we need to take the time to go visit. So happy we finally did. Such a fun, unique way to get out and explore some different art. I love the idea of not knowing what to expect as around each corner was always something different. The entire feel of the maze is very youthful and whimsical. They have created walls made of vines to separate spaces which I think is going to be awesome when they eventually all grow in. A few of the pieces are interactive. I believe any and all ages would enjoy this outing. Very cool!

OnTree delivers fun for everyone of every skill level! After being at competitor's facilities, finding OnTree and their courses blew our minds! Fantastic grounds and courses, top notch safety equipment, super friendly and helpful staff - a great atmosphere all around! Our family has different skill levels but there were multiple courses for each to have a great time on. There are so many courses and ziplines there was no waiting in line despite a large crowd in attendance. The best though was the service - this team understands customer satisfaction and went out of their way to make us feel welcome and ready for fun! Thank you OnTree team!

Reviewed By 553courtneyd - Dartmouth, Canada

This was my first time at a drive in theatre. I was impressed with the staff, the quality of the food, and the whole experience in general, really. The prices for concessions are MORE than fair for the portion size you get. The staff seem helpful to new people as they have rules about headlights and how to park. We saw Spiderman (didn't stay for the second show - next time!) and it was awesome. This is a well kept attraction, and for the price you really can't have complaints. I wish they started the movies earlier but it makes sense why you can't have an outdoor screen showing a movie in daylight. Would be hard to see anything!

Ocean Lane Bowling-Sports Bar

Reviewed By leahlaxmi

Ocean lanes bowling and sports bar is a great little spot for a fun time if you happen to be spending some time in the Tatamagouche area. My boyfriend and I went for a few hours, ordered some local beers and had a wonderful night. The staff were kind small town folk. There is also option for food as there is a Greco inside. The bar is quite large. It includes a pool table, a stage for live acts on certain days and slot machines. The beer and food prices were great and so were the bowling prices. Highly recommend for any family/friend/couple activities when not enjoying the beautiful nature that is Tatamagouche.
