Escape rooms are a fun way to bond with friends or Escape rooms are a fun way to bond with friends or family using your problem-solving skills. The gameplay usually lasts around 60 minutes, but it can vary depending on the room and the company running the escape room. It's a great option for a group activity, like a birthday party or family outing. Don't stress, you don't have to escape in the time given, the main goal is to have fun and enjoy the experience.⁠

🌸 March Family Fun is Here!⁠ ⁠ Spring is st 🌸 March Family Fun is Here!⁠
⁠
Spring is starting to bloom across Metro Vancouver and March is packed with family adventures, outdoor exploration, and exciting events. Whether you're planning Spring Break outings or looking for something fun to do on the weekend, there’s plenty happening around the city this month.⁠
⁠
Here are two great events to check out:⁠
⁠
🌲 Hoppy Heights at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park ( @capilanosuspensionbridge )⁠
Spring Break meets Easter magic with playful bunny photo spots, seasonal treats, and breathtaking rainforest views. It’s the perfect mix of outdoor adventure and springtime fun for families.⁠
⁠
🎭 Wildwoman at Gateway Theatre - Parents’ Night Out! ( @gatewaythtr )⁠
Looking for an evening just for the grown-ups? Gateway Theatre presents Wildwoman, a bold and darkly funny comedy about Catherine de Medici and the drama of the 16th-century French royal court. Please note: this is an R-rated production and not intended for children, but it could make a great date night while the kids are home with a sitter.⁠
