Circuit 500/Action Commando Paintball
Canada’s largest indoor go-kart center provides plenty of amusement for gearheads. Sharpen your skills in 10-minute races on a large indoor karting track. The racers blaze around the circuit at speeds of up to 75km/h. Uniforms and safety helmets are provided. True addicts sign up for all-you-can‑drive specials ($75 for 24 hours); otherwise, it’s $23 to $26 per race. You can also let off steam in a round of paintball on four terrains strewn with obstacles, bunkers, pyramids and catacombs. The games pit security agents against thieves in a dozen splattering scenarios. A one-hour package ($38) includes mask, paint gun and 100 paintballs.

Centre d’escalade Horizon Roc
This enormous 2600-sq-meter climbing gym features 12m walls and hundreds of lead and top-rope routes. Indeed, it’s one of the world’s largest indoor climbing facilities and even hosted the 2008 North American Continental Climbing Championship. Whether or not you have experience, you’ll have to take an accreditation test in order to receive ongoing access to the center. You can also sign up for lessons. All the gear (rope, harness, climbing shoes, etc) is on hand for hire. There’s also a café on-site.
