I never knew this place existed until Yelp held a learn how to curl event. \n\nNot gonna lie, I was a little intimidated at first because I am not super athletic and wouldn't say I take instruction all too well. But the instructors are all awesome and take things really slow with you as you are learning to ensure everyone is comfortable and confident. Instructors are all volunteers so they are super passionate about it. After an hour of instruction we played a game - where they continued to talk everyone through things and give tips. \n\nThis is a membership place, there are no individual day passes (which is where it lost one star for me -- would love to be able to go every now and then!). You sign up for an annual membership and then can sign up for as many leagues as you would like. Leagues run every night of the week and vary in difficulty. As folks sign up, they are placed on teams based on their skill level as well. Aka if you are new they will pair you with people who are more experienced so you can learn from there. There is also an instructional style league on Sunday evenings for new folks. They do also offer corporate team building events (run about $50 per person and include training staff). \n\nThere is a lounge area (right when you walk in) that has a variety of games to play including snooker (a variation of billiards) and crokinole (an addicting table top game). There is also a pro shop and a reasonably priced bar (about $3 for a beer and $5 for a mixed drinks) as well as a glass viewing wall to spectate players on the ice."^^ . "1"^^ .
