INVISTA CENTRE REVIEWS

Great place to come skating! Family skating, Public skating, Hockey, Events and much more. A gym is also located upstairs. Haymakers canteen is located in the middle on the bottom floor and is a new place to get delicious food with great customer service!

We spent new years eve here with the family having a blast. Free zoo for the kids and face painting and skating and magic show. We also caught some stand up comedy. We came in from Toronto to visit family and were very impressed.

Clean facility. Easy access to the numerous rinks. Snow storm the day I was there. Staff worked hard to keep floors clean & dry. They also kept sidewalks clear of snow and salted.

QUEEN'S ATHLETICS & RECREATION CENTRE (ARC) REVIEWS

Came in to watch the varsity volleyball games. Facility is big, bright, clean, and easy to access. Sight lines are good and the seating is very reasonable. Only issue is parking on a busy weekend, but that isnt anything new or unusual, but do come prepared to walk a little as you approach the facility. Ticket prices were also very reasonable and the level of entertainment was excellent. Thanks for the great visit.

This place is awesome, if you're a queens student youd be a fool not to go here all the time. Free basketball rentals, and they have something like 10 courts so you can generally have one to yourself. 4$ racquet and ball rental and you can almost always get a court to yourself. Great place.

This is a multi-storey recreation centre that houses gym, swimming pool, basketball court, badminton court, volleyball court, spin room, and much more. It is usually hustling and bustling throughout the day but worth a visit for every student at Queen's. Show up, stay fit.

ARTILLERY PARK AQUATIC CENTRE REVIEWS

This is a beautiful pool complex with caring staff. My daughter takes swimming lessons here and is so excited every time we get out of the car and she realizes where we are. The lifeguards are knowledgeable and teach well, covering a range of skills and water safety topics. If you want to get your child into lessons plan ahead because they are very popular, so you must be ready on registration day to land your preferred time slot.

BI really enjoy going to the gym here. They have everything you need to get a good workout. Always clean. Lots of room in the lockers for bags and shoes etc. machines are always clean. Always people in the pool. It has convenient hours as well and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable

Came to enjoy the Parent & Tot swimming. Pool is warm and great for my 4 month old baby. They have floatation devices, toys and is accessible. Change rooms are clean and well maintained. The online portal is easy to use so secure your spit as it is usually sold out day of so book at least a day ahead.
