My 2 teenage boys thoroughly enjoyed carving their inukshuk soapstone souvenirs with John as an alternative Apres ski activity. My inukshuk was an opal inspiration with Chris. Thanks guys.

A great family experience! The Pirate Room was so much fun; well designed, interesting puzzles, excellent kid-friendly theme and the rooms were so well decorated. The staff was very friendly and the rate was reasonable. An awesome way to get inside on a rainy, cold or hot day.
