Slide 1 of 8
It was really fun! Mini golf costs $18 per adult, but it’s worth it—amazing interior design. There are lots of arcade games, ranging from $0.90 to $2.50. We spent around $50 for both of us. Parking is free!
We had a great time visiting Castle Fun Park! There are plenty of games to enjoy, and the pricing for each one was quite reasonable. I’d definitely recommend this place for kids—but honestly, it’s just as fun for adults. After all, you’re never too old to be a kid again! We really enjoyed playing some of the shooting games, Racing, Mario Kart, and pinball. "Bumper car" was especially fun.mini golf is a must try. Unfortunately, we missed out on go-karting because we arrived too early—the track opens after 5 PM. Luckily, we still have our Castle Fun Card loaded with credit, so we’re looking forward to going back and trying the go-karts next time!
A nice arcade in a quiet area near Abbotsford. Go Karts open 5pm. There are plenty of games to play. Some are expensive like Underwater Golf but you can go along the kids even if you are not playing. The golf area is quite dated but nevertheless, kids love it. Laser Room is weird. Sometimes the game lasts 10 seconds. There are many more games upstairs including some real classic arcades like Contra. There is also mini bowling which is a great deal with the amount of turns you get. There is also dodging cars which is fun for the family. Overall, a nice place to spend 2-3 hours with the family.
Mostly arcade games, most of the machines are pretty old and don’t work as intended. Really wish they could upgrade the facility and improve on the concession snacks. Still this place is a great option for first timers and on rainy days. Staffs who work there are nice though.
Lots of out of order / broken games 10% maybe 20% for the older kids. The batting cages and outside still out of commission. The super young kids area is in good shape 100% functional. Food is well you know. Heat rack menu. Kids love it. Clean and tidy. Fairly busy - it is a rainy Sunday. Otherwise same old place as before.
What can I say, it's Castle Fun Park! Lots of fun! I just wish they were able to have the outdoor mini-golf course restored after the flooding a few years ago.
Kids had fun, games are a reasonable price. Pretty quiet and lots still closed due to the flood in 2021...4 years of construction and all thats open is video games and golf
Bowling is nice; short lanes, affordable, no line ups. Bumper cars area is very small, we were playing in 3 people and it looked crowded. Arcade has tons of games!

What a truly lovely 😍 & historical business. Staff were so friendly & accommodating. Sooo much variety of 🍬 candy...love the many British options as well as Dutch candy. I enjoyed a delicious Latte and my son had a fantastic frozen yogurt. I appreciate small businesses like this so much having been a small business owner/operator myself.
The village store is such a fascinating business to go to. I just wish I knew about it sooner because they have been in business for almost 40 years. They have a great variety of different candy, tea and even baked goods such as scones and pies to serve. They have some unique sweets like Cotton Candy Dr. Pepper, Reese’s Wafer bars, Karameller Swedish Candy and Candy Rock Sticks. They even sell a unique selection of beer; however, you can only have it when you are dining in their store. The interior countenance of the store is very old-fashioned yet appealing. There was an old but working fireplace, these historic industrial coffee makers and a lot of other old knick-knacks on display. The people who worked there were very pleasant and helpful too. I did not take any pictures or videos of the inside of the village store, out of respect for the owners and workers there. I would very much love to pay my patronage to the Clayburn Village Store again soon. For those of you that have not been there yet, go check it out.
The owners Trish and Bryan are kind , caring people who run a special shop . I’m never disappointed with their selection of British food and treats galore. Their home baked specialty pasties etc. are the best , their soups so tasty and made from the best local ingredients …. We’re so lucky to have them here !
A not to be missed experience. I especially enjoyed meeting and talking with Brian one of the store owners. Not only does he have extensive knowledge of the products in the store but he is so passionate about what he does. Walking around the store packed with items which in some cases are only available in this store, is an absolute joy. Products include British chocolates and candies, Chutneys, Jams, sauces etc.
What a spot! This place has everything for the sweet tooth in the family as well as some delicious savory fresh baked goods. The owners are incredibly welcoming and happy to have a chat to get to know you and tell you about the amazing history of this store. Its the true centre piece of Clayburn Village and its an amazing piece of community.
A cozy store with country charm and rare finds. Enjoy a blast from the past with gourmet food and candy. Located in historic Clayburn Village, this store has been serving the community since 1912. You will find a wide selection of gourmet food and candy, from local jams and honey to imported teas and chocolates.
A small shop at the back of a residential house selling body care and facial care products made with essential oils. Good quality, wonderful scent, and reasonable price. The owner Sue is very nice and showed me how she organized her work. Decor is cozy and romantic. Highly recommend. This shop only opens Saturday in Abbortsford.
Great place to visit. The scones and cream are the real thing. Highly recommend. Very extensive inventory of British specialty foods and treats. Amazing candy selection.

Probably the main park attraction in Abbotsford. Very open with lots of pretty places to sit. And nice water park for kids. There's an area with big, tall trees that is cool to walk through The lake itself has a bunch of scenic spots There's a side where people can bring and board their boats (kayaks and stuff) and do a little fishing.
Gorgeous urban nature park with a 2.17 km paved pathway around a stunning man made lake complete with sizeable fountain. For bird enthusiasts, various water fowl and marsh birds can be heard and spotted, such as the red winged black bird. You might even spot a painted turtle sunning themselves! There are 3 playground areas, a water park, outdoor pool, picnic areas and baseball diamond. Plenty of open and shaded spots with park benches available, including a small floating dock for fishermen or anyone wanting to enjoy the lake breeze.
This is a great place to hang out with friends and family on a nice sunny day. Me and my husband usually come here for an after dinner walk. We love how relaxed and serene the atmosphere here. Bicycles are allowed here, pets on a leash are allowed except by the playground area. Washrooms are available and picnic tables are all over the place as well as benches. It’s a good 30-45 minute walk if you do the full circle. I like the bridge area the most especially during sunset. Also, I have seen a few men fishing by the dock and I have asked them what fishes are usually caught and they said it’s mostly trouts here. So, if you like to fish you can try it here. A lot of geese all over the place so watch out for land mines! Lol! Parking may be a challenge during peak hours. This place is friendly to all ages, wheelchair and stroller accessible!
The park is beautiful, well maintained and has a lot of nature. It is family and pet friendly. It has public bathrooms. It is a good place to practice many different sports including jogging and running. Also good for a picnic or to enjoy good time outside with family, pets and friends. The only thing preventing it to be 5 stars is that it does not have lights enough to enjoy it when it is dark.
Fairly nice park with pretty views. Paths are paved. Lots of parks along the loop, with playgrounds, washrooms, benches, and parking. Also a place to fish aswell as a boat ramp. Expect to see lots of ducks, birds and squirrels. Sadly a lot of homeless hanging out and camping in the area. Was approached multiple times while walking the loop which made me a bit uncomfortable as a young woman. Maybe not the best place to walk alone.
EDIT- this should be called Goose Lake, the park is just ripe with goose droppings. They’ve covered the walkways, paths, all the fields. It’s just absolutely disgusting! Other than that I could be beautiful park for humans but the geese have overtaken!!! My dog loves to go for walks around the lake but right now he doesn’t even want to walk the pathways and just directs to the sidewalk outside the park!
I loved this park, I went with my partner and my 7-month-old baby, we did the complete circuit, we were able to see many animals and plants, and the view of the lake is very beautiful. I recommend it
Beautiful park with a 2.5 km looped walking trail around the lake. You can see Mt Baker in the distance and there are benches and picnic tables around the park where you can sit and enjoy the view. There are parking lots scattered in different parts of the park and a big playground for kids next to each lot. Very clean and close to residential neighbourhoods. This is a beautiful park to visit for families, friends, and lovers.

I went to see Randy Bachman and family and they played BTO and the Guess Who. They were very good. The back up band was April Wine and they were fantastic. The Abbotsford centre is a really nice venue, I had never been there before. Snacks were also good.
The Abbotsford Centre has always been A1 in my experience. From hockey games to concerts and comedy shows the staff are always respectful, supportive and cheerful. A nice variety of food and drink. The facility is always super clean and the seating is spacious, plentiful and comfortable. The outside grounds and parking areas are always very tidy and well maintained.
I was there recently for a concert! Great venue. Super clean and friendly staff. There is tons of parking. There isn’t a bad seat in the house.
Was there for a standup comedy show. The staff was great. For large events they need more parking or public transportation available. I can’t believe they sold tickets for seats behind the stage. People were basically watching us watching the show.
Pretty well organized event and had a great time at the Darius Rucker concert
Saw an Abbotsford Canucks game here and the facility is 5 star. The seating is way more comfortable and spacious than Roger’s Arena. It’s clean and newer. The game was great! They also sell the lumberjack sandwich here that is very tasty.
If you don't know already, this Abbotsford Center hosts the Abbotsford Canucks, one league below the NHL. Every game you'll see showcaces elite hockey skills, young prospects, and competitive play. The Abby Canucks share the same entertainment staff, when the big team isn't in town, including announcer, in game host, and awesome music. The food is affordable, parking $5.00 (Gillis Avenue), and fun for the whole family. Grab foot long dog and cold drink and enjoy!
A nice medium sized venue with solid amenities and easy parking and close access from major roads. Plus it is right across the border from Whatcom County - it might be easier to get to events here from Bellingham than much of the Lower Mainland BC!

I went to enjoy the Vancouver Motorcycle Show Jan 17 - 19. It's not the biggest facility, but big enough to fit enough vendors to keep the interst going. I had a good time. Friendly staff, helpful, and always with a smile. Coat-check was handled with loving care by the GOSPEL RIDERS.
Been several times. Parking is so so but nice they have a bar
We attended the Canada Skills Competition for the BC Region.....too notch facility, both indoors and outdoors. Great turn out of our future leaders and technicians.
Very large space and perfect for over 20 volleyball courts.
Awsome venue!! We came to Punk in Drublic today held here today Sept 4th, 22. There was lots of paid parking spaces. Inside there is a seating area with tables for sitting and eating, a water fountain to fill up water bottles. There was lots of bathroom space even with so many people. There was an outside area with many food trucks and a couple large bar areas with many bar tenders and lineups for faster service, also two snack and soft drink areas you can get food and pops and red bull. VIP area to the left side of the building. This is the only event I've been here to, was an awsome experience. 💯💯☻️
We went to an event called glow Was amazing.. so many lights . The music was 100% photo props were spectacular. It was warm and inviting Hot dog for kids was only 4.50$ Parents meals were reasonable Vendors were good Playgrounds were awesome Swings were beautiful Carpet we tripped on Train ran into the concrete blocks and was very short Prize for finding all reindeer was a candy cane 🙄 Couldn't pay cash for parking meter ..got a ticket ☹️
Went to the hot rod show with my friend! Lots of great cars and plenty of room the stretch out. The burn out competition was great too! Great venue.
Huge place! Have been here a couple times, both for an RV show. Builfing is nice and bright. Very accessible area beside the airport. Just a few minutes from the Highway 1 Exit. Bonus info, I love the burgers and curly fries in this building. Try it if you are attending an exhibit.

Stopped in for a late brunch with my partner on a Saturday. She had the breakfast sandwich and a latte which she really enjoyed. I had the pumpkin spiced latte and the sweet and salty. I really enjoyed my pumpkin spiced latte because it wasn't too sweet like you'd get at other cafes so it still tasted like a proper coffee. I thought the breakfast was really good, the proportions were spot on and I really thought they nailed the poach on my eggs, I also really enjoyed the hollandaise.
First time customer and now one for life! I bought in my mother and grandmother for Mother’s Day and the vibes were immaculate! It’s was super busy but not a bother when you’re surrounded by such gorgeous gardens. Team were so lovely and the owners were even around checking on people- felt very taken care of on such a busy day. My phone didn’t get a chance to eat first but I had the sweet and salty french toast, and we had the smashed browns for the table. Both great! Thank you for having us!
Went there in a quiet stat holiday - really nice atmosphere indoor and outdoor. They also have a variety of products display. The food was pretty decent👍🏻the side salad was a good pairing with the main dish. The egg benny would have been too heavy without the salad. Ordered a hot americano; it was mediocre.
We enjoyed a tasty lunch here. You order your food at the counter and take a number and they deliver it to your table. They have a good selection of items on their menu that was appropriately seasonal. My chicken pot pie was enjoyable. Restaurant was clean, and a seat was available when visiting.
Visited for the first time on a sunny Saturday morning. Opted to sit inside with air-conditioning. My Sweet + Salty was really flavorful, and the coffee was equally good too.
The Agora & Apothecary is a fantastic place to frequent at. The establishment is part cafe, part farm market and part gift shop, there is so much to admire there. The look of the whole interior was not busy for a Sunday afternoon, so finding a table was not difficult. I ordered at the counter the Traditional Breakfast with a cup of coffee. The coffee was good with a subtle creamy taste to it. The breakfast was incredible; the bacon was crispy and savoury, the roasted potatoes were very enjoyable, the scrambled eggs had a unique taste from other eggs I have had before, and the sourdough toast was the best toast I had in a while. The staff there were very nice and knew a lot about the business. The scenery outside the interior is just gorgeous from how they maintain the landscape and the outdoor decor. The design and layout of the place is so nice that I would want to eat outdoors there. They even have picnic lunches so you can eat on their lawn. Also, since I came during the early fall, there were lots of Halloween decorations all over the property and their promotion of Terror at Tanglebank event showing their love for the holiday. Overall, I am glad I chose to come to Agora & Apothecary for lunch and wish to come back there very soon. There is so much to like about this place. I guarantee you will enjoy frequenting there.
Such a cute place to go for brunch/ lunch. It was relaxing, and tasty food. They were also super helpful for me with my 15 month old. Lots of beautiful flowers to enjoy while you eat too.
I can't recommend this establishment enough. Well I've never been to their actual cafe I've been to their special events. Both The terror at tangle Bank Halloween event and the Midsummer nights horror movie in August outside in the woods. These owners know how to not only keep a beautiful and immaculate property but how to run an event. The two events I've been to have been the best I've been to ever and I'm not young LOL. Both amazing and I can't recommend attending any of their special events or their property more. I really look forward to watching them grow and hope that they get into the Christmas market with a Christmas themed event as well! The horror movie in August was so amazing I think next summer they should do it twice once in July and once in August! Incredible hosts, incredible property, incredible experiences. Just go! And buy the event tickets!
