Reviews of Northern Tikes (Bowling Alley)

Jordan Manalo

They hosted my daughter's 6th Birthday. Event went off smoothly. They were very accommodating, friendly, clean and fun. The kids had a blast!

Robert Bull

My favourite place to take my boys when the weather sucks.

Stacey Kuehl

What an awesome place!! Its kept very clean, staff are friendly and the kids love it. There's the indoor playground, party room, plenty of seating, food and beverages are sold and free wifi. We purchase the seasonal passes because we go so often. I enjoy going to let the kids use up some energy, it's a great way to stay active and meet new friends. We go 1-2 times a week and he never wants to leave. If you're looking for the best indoor fun for kids of all ages, you need to check out Northern Tikes!

Darrell Deibel

Great indoor play Center

Angel Bastien

Good place to take the kids on a rainy day. I do wish there was a little more for the smaller kids to do. Also I think the prices are a little on the steep side.

Trevor Demain

Best place for your little ones stop there every time I am in North Bay with the little ones

For a Covid Anxious Momma this place was PERFECT for our family bubble. Private Birthday Party was just what we all needed. a clean safe space for our wee ones Birthday. Katy our hostess was amazing. The Food perfect and atmosphere delightful for my neuro senstitive brain. I would highly recommend this local jem to anyone looking for a private birthday space. ????????????????

Judy Lew

I dropped off my grand daughter and her friend there today. They said they had a blast!! Glad they're open.

Lots of fun

Marc Yarascavitch

This is a good play place. Every time my boys have been there they’ve loved it. It’s usually really busy but kids don’t seem to care and there has been enough seating for parents if you don’t mind shuffling chairs. The climber is three or four tiers and seems very safe. The food is made on the spot (pizza, pasta, hot dogs) and there’s other prepared food and deserts and coffee. It was not expensive and good winter play space for cooped up children. Will return when in North Bay.

It's good when it's almost empty otherwise it's full of kids who's parents pay very little attention to. If it's nice out go to a park and save over $12...yes $12 (for just one kid)......also fed my son pizza without my knowledge or permission. Nice gesture for sure but what if my son had allergies? It also ruined the dinner I was planning right after we left.

Dauna Smith

Great place for a kid's birthday party

Jamie Camirand

Great experience for the kids. Lots of energy burning activities. Excellent food and snacks.

Kevin McDougall

Amazing play structure, the kids loved this place!

David Jackowski

I am a huge fan. Nice areas to sit for parents and the kids obviously love it. So glad this place exists!

Aimee Dellandrea

My girls really enjoy the climbing and the digital games. The food at the cafe is good, too.

Cody Belanger

I primarily go there for the lunch special as I don't have kids. Great sandwiches, and some of the best soups I've ever tasted!

Greg Houle

Amazing staff and a great place for bday parties

Joe Stecker

Kids had fun.

Neil Ellis

A great place to bring the kids to burn off some energy. The play structure is large allowing the kids to explore and run. Cloakroom at the front has a generous amount of space to store footwear and coats. The food is good, my kids certainly didn't complain. There are three party rooms for birthdays and other occasions. The staff are great, friendly and approachable. There is ample room for parents to sit and relax while kids play. Free WiFi is a plus. The facility is handicap accessible.

Katelynn Chaisson

Amazing food and my kids love it there :)

Brian Evans

Nice clean indoor play place with a little cafe for simple food and drinks. Only knock against it is that its a little small.

Curtis Latimer

This is an indoor playground in the heart of downtown. They have excellent coffee and a surprisingly good menu. Daily meal specials through the work week usually of some kind of soup and sandwich or wrap. Seating is limited, best to take your meal with you unless you are staying with your kids for the playground. Playground is great for 2-10 year olds. Has a toddler section for the littler ones. Structure is well built and spacious and can be used by parents who wish to play with their kids. Socks are a requirement for everyone. The floor is heated in the winter so no worries about cold feet. They offer parties, for birthdays, companies, sports teams etc at reasonable prices and can even open after hours for these types of events.

Kelly Mckenzie

What a wonderful place when it's not super full.

Sharisse Gregory

Sheila Carruthers

My son always has fun here! I am impressed with the variety of healthier snacks available. Staff is friendly and helpful. Can tell they are continuously trying to improve. I appreciate the wi-fi. Parking is the only issue.

James Fraser

Nice place

Kayla Daly

Great place for playing and for kids to get together. Delicious food and wonderful staff!

RANDO LANE

The only real indoor playground in the bay unless you want to go to mcdonalds lakeshore drive This place is awsome for kids but it is a little bit small

Ken the Balloon Dude

Such a fun place. Makes me wish I were a kid again.

Tim F

Great indoor playground for rainy days, snow or cold. Friendly staff, safe equipment, good canteen, good seating for parents and good value. Great Christmas gift idea to get a pass for kids.

Samara Cull

The toddler section is good. My 2.5 year old daughter wanted to go on the main play structure so badly but when we got up there we found that she wasn't quite big enough for it yet. You pay $9 and your pass is valid all day long which is nice.

Plants Saved Me

My daughter and I love it here. We come on a weekly basis! Great food and plenty of fun for everyoneThe staff are friendly and fantastic and we plan to come here for years to come :)

Conspiracymommy Canada

Best place for kids birthday partys and just to let your kids run wild have a great time making friends and exploring

Monica “Real reviewer” Ck

Good place to take the kids. I wish it was little bigger or more games upstairs

Donald McQuoid

Great muffins. Fast friendly

Christie “Payne” Baker

Nothing could possibly beat this place!! Best prices! Great menu, friendly service, and clean. Nothing could compare to NORTHERN TIKES ❤️

Natalie Hamilton

Kind of pricey, but our kids love it. Very convenient with the snacks, and food available.

Rina Lajeunesse

Love this place ...great for kids and the staff is amazing.. Thx

John Cowle

We had a great time at Northern Tikes. I think I enjoyed it almost as much as he did. He just started to walk confidently so as he gets older he will likely get more out of this place. I took him down the big red slide and it was really fast. I'm sure next time we're in North Bay we'll be back.

Tanya Syvak

I love it

The Form Of Things

Kids love the place (3-8), easy to watch them play, with tables set right next to climbers. Nice wholesome food options (fruit, sandwiches, salads) for those who don't want pizza.

Trina Ferrier

It was ok the kids loved it but the toys where very dirty and needed to be cleaned in the todder section.

Michelle Rae

Never a dull moment in this place! Being the only indoor play place in North Bay, this facility is constantly busy. Its very rare that the play structures are empty. I've attended Northern Tikes for occasional drop-in, as well as for March Break Camps. The building is bright, welcoming and enjoyable. The staff are helpful and observant. The Cafe located inside the building makes quick snacks and drinks easy. The food and beverages offered are all very health conscious, with options of sweets and treats as well. The structure is safe, colorful and always exciting. Even parents can run after your little ones within the structure. A great place for kids to go and burn off energy on a rainy day. Wonderful for the long winter months, and short attention spanned children. We can easily spend hours in this building. The cost of entry covers the entire day, allowing patrons to come and go as they please. The option for monthly and yearly memberships is great for frequent attendance.

Amin Yabut

Kids had a wonderful time.

FrizleFry00

Goid placeto bring kids when weather is bad.

Rob Studholme

Great indoor playground for kids

debbie shipley

Great for kids 3 and up. Expensive for those under that age who dont do more than play on the floor. Fantastic meals in dining area and friendly staff.

Samantha Irene

This is a great event space if you have kids or a youth group. They are really amazing and provide great accommodations

Northern Drone

It's an ok place if it's not busy. Kind of small.

Natalie LeClaire

Great play location! Busy but still lots of space for kids.

Christian Bergeron

Love the playground

James Fischer

They have a three story play structure with safety meeting around it. You must have socks on in the play area. The do sell socks there if you forget your own. There is a concession where they sell pizza, drinks and other fast, easy to prepare foods. Staff are always friendly. I recommend this place as an activity for toddler to no older than ten.

Lindsay Lynch

A great playplace that needs some work in the toddler area.

Jessica Froud

great place to take the kids to burn off some energy

Sara Parks

Staff is very friendly and it's VERY clean. We have been there on days when it is quiet and the staff is always doing thorough cleanings. Great play area! :)

Catherine Benoit

Its good some days and others not so much. The washrooms could use a little more constant care.

Brett Mcdonald

It's fun place to take ur kids

Wesam Metwalli

Kids love it!

Kayla Hearn

I love this place for my son and niece and nephews. We have so much fun there and the staff is amazing. Very clean and accommodating. Love it!!!!!

Kyra Briand

Great place go burn some energy parents dream lol

jacklyn Smith

I wish the toddler section was bigger and more closed off from the other play areas. I had to Shield my toddler away from the big kids that took over the toddler section. For the price I was expecting more for the toddlers. Editted a week later; we have since gone back a few times during non peak hours (when the big kids are in school or eating supper) and had a blast!!

Chris Vaillancourt

Perfect for children of all ages, including children under a year old. A great place to host birthdays and other events for the kids, and the price is more than reasonable.

Anna White

So much fun for the little ones. One of the few places babies can get down and play

j Blazen

Great place small but good for young ones staff friendly u can also play hockey upstairs dnt b shy it's open to everyone

Heather Feather

Great place for kids to burn off energy. Only negative is all the prize/candy machines that are a constant distraction from the playground for kids.

Renee LaVictoire

Son always has fun, and its nicest that its big enough that I fit too!!

Maggie Lamothe

Fun food

Kayla Dormer

It's a great place for kids

J-D Robinson

Nice place for the kids and reasonably priced. The only reason for the downgrade is that some places looked disorganized because all the inventory for the food and birthday parties is just laying about. It seems like they need a bigger kitchen and storage area. Still nice for the kids with a good anti-bullying policy

DDDAVE28 Sponagle

This place is awesome for the kids to burn off energy, and to give the parents small break. I just never thought it would still tire us parents out lol.

Jake Lacourse

There isn't another place thing around town. Great place to have the kids burn off excess energy and the food is awesome!

Steph Anie

Such a great place to hangout and play, plus the food,is DELICIOUS

david gardiner

I would definitely recommend northern tikes for birthday parties to I would just say that there needs to be at least another staff on to help with parties so things are not forgotten

Alex C

Giant play structure that's adult friendly so you can assist your little one through the more challenging parts. Reasonably priced and lots of seating when the adults need a break. Perfect for a rainy day

Bruce Gray

The price was very reasonable and the atmosphere was fun and lively. My 5 year old thoroughly enjoyed himself, but my three year old was a little short for some of the elements. Also it was march break so it was extra hectic.

kim petrie

This is such a safe and fun place to take kids. They can burn off all of that excess energy, while you sit or play.

Tamika Everitt

Amazing area to let your kids play and make new friends!!! Safe and clean!!

Randy _

Great food and coffee. Lucy is a wiz in the space that is provided for her! Coming here makes my morning!

Kennith Blais

Parking a bit of an issue.giant sturdy playground.kids all ages even adults.good slides.highly recommend the twisty red one.staff friendly and on top of things.seasonal passes offered.

Derek Larose

Love bringing my 2yr old son here. Had we lived in the city, I would honestly take him here at least every 2nd day. Lots of different things to do (especially during special events). Lots of seating for the parents to watch their kids play by themselves and large enough play areas that parents can join in. Looks like empty spacing on the above level of the building, so I am assuming they can easily use that for expanding/upgrading their facilities. Trust me, you kids will love it (and be tired afterwards)

Naythan St Onge

Northern Tykes is always fun for kids and well, adults too as it's a warm safe environment for us to burn out our kids. Oh yeah, don't bother grabbing a Timmies on your way because they have delicious coffee!

Rebecca Mccutcheon

Free coffee on Friday's

Sharon Gardiner

Recommend to anyone for a childs birthday party. Enjoyed by all. Adults and children. Staff wonderful to work with, very helpful and friendly
