Crazy M Ranch: Prince George

Overview:
Come and enjoy a horse drawn sleigh ride through beautiful woodland trails and open fields where deer and many other kinds of wildlife can be seen. The hour long ride will bring you back to a building “The Sleigh Shed” which is heated by an old fashioned wood cook stove where complimentary hot chocolate, coffee, tea and cookies are served.

Thoughts:

This is a great winter season activity for a fairly large group. The family run ranch offers hour long sleigh rides followed by another hour of drinks bon fire and sledding.

The property is about 20 min out of the city and is pretty easy to find. The ameneties are in great condition and they are constantly adding new things to make your experience more enjoyable.

Coffee and tea are provided and outside food is allowed as well. We brought hot dogs and marshmallows to roast on the fire and they had sticks there for you.

The sledding hill was a bit of a walk from the hut and would be a bit difficult to use within your time frame. It probably gets most use during larger groups where multiple sleigh rides are required.

Pros:
Good for large groups and a lot to do in the couple of hours you get. Very friendly family that runs the sleigh rides.

Cons:
Sledding hill a bit far and it is an open sleigh ride so weather may or may not be on your side.

Krakit: Burnaby

Overview:

Enter a Krakit Escape Game room, where SOMETHING  has happened.  Once the door closes behind you, your challenge is to find the clues hidden right before your very eyes to ESCAPE. There are four Krakit Escape Game rooms each with a different theme.  In some rooms, you may find your heart pounding and your palms sweating but be assured all of this happens in a make belief world with no danger.  Krakit is a unique way for everyone (ages 8 and up), to have fun, challenge yourself, host a birthday party or special events (stag/stagettes), host staff/corporate events and team building activities, or to create a date night that you'll never forget! It’s as simple as picking the room theme you want to escape from and then challenging fate.

Thoughts:

The idea is great and the execution is well done at Krakit. It was good fun and the staff was friendly and helpful, ecen joined in on the joking around with our group.

The room we were in was not very big and might have been a bit small for a group of 6. The room details were not as in depth or as extravagant as others like it. We did a zombie room and didn't see or hear a single one.

There was a good variety of clues but some were a little far reaching. The location was great as this is the only one like it not in Richmond.

I would recommend giving this a try as it is a good small group activity that does not rely on only one attribute.

Pros:

Close to locations other than Richmond giving people the opportunity to try without the long drive. Updated seasonal theme rooms with varying levels of difficulty. Fun for a small group of people.

Cons:

Some of the clues were hard and not overly relevant. The fine details could have been better in the room design.
