Fun indoor activities for Reading Week in Edmonton
College and university students rejoice: Reading Week will soon be here. If you’re not jetting off to a sunny destination, fear not: You can have a great time at home and enjoy all the fun stuff you don’t normally have time to do. These indoor activities can be done anytime, regardless of whether the weather gods are cruel or kind this month.
Axe Hole Indoor Axe Throwing
104-11614 119 Street NW, Edmonton AB T5G 2X7Even if you’ve never secretly dreamed of becoming a logger, throwing an axe still seems cool, mostly because it’s unique. But, also, because it’s fun! It’s a great group activity to blow off steam and learn something new. For $40 a person, you get two hours of axe throwing time, including hands-on learning and a round-robin tournament to see who’s the ultimate axe throwing champ. It’s physical, fun and memorable – so, basically the opposite of studying for exams.
Eescape.ca
10132 105 St NW, Edmonton AB T5J 1C9Escape rooms, which became popular in Europe and then spread to North America, are the latest trend in entertainment. A group of friends (two to six people) are locked into one of the theme rooms and have 45 minutes to escape. You start by watching an instructional video, which explains your theme and the storyline, then you search for clues and solve puzzles that will help you get out of your room. You’re allowed to ask for two hints from the game master, and there are various levels of difficulty.
Laser City
5104 67 Ave NW, Edmonton AB T6B 3N9Laser tag isn’t just for kids; it’s a fun activity (that doubles as a workout) for adults, too. Blow off all that pent-up stress from school and leave it all behind on the indoor laser tag field. Each game lasts 15 minutes, so you can get in a quick round or spend the whole afternoon running around, shooting lasers at your pals. If you’re already a laser tag pro, try one of their different game modes, like adding zombies into the mix.
