The first Friday of each month is Parent and Tot Playtime at Fairlanes (Mountain Road, Moncton). There is an exersaucer and bouncy chair for babies, and lots of toys and bowling for tots and preschoolers. Fairlanes is equipped with bumper lanes and even a ball launcher for little ones. At this time, the kitchen is closed, but there are lots of tables and chairs for snacks you bring along (peanut free, please).
The cost is $3.50 for bowling and shoe rental. Adults and newborns free and play is from 9AM to noon.
