Things to Do in Dartmouth

The course at Harbour Ridge Golf Club blazes a winding path among numerous water hazards, opening out onto greens with sweeping views of the harbour below. As the slate-blue water ruffles in the wind, players work their ways across two par 3 holes, six par 4 holes, and a hole that can be played as a par 5 or a par 4 depending on the chosen set of tees. A clubhouse perches on a small hillock, overlooking the evergreen trees that line the fairways and distract lumberjacks from continually asking about the rules of golf.

Alpha Strike Laser Tag brings the futuristic equipment and tactical strategy of video games into black-lit reality. Branches and green vines creep over the arena's faux-stone walls, amid which players send laser beams flying towards their opponents' vests. Standard and advanced game types make strategizing during these battles a necessity. Alpha Tag, for example, forces laser soldiers to switch between a long-range phaser and a more powerful, but shorter-range blaster. Creating more challenges, Territories beckons players to conquer bases while avoiding hidden traps and the temptation to build monuments to their glory. Throughout all game types, strategically placed control stations flash colourful lights that indicate upgrades for guns and shields.
